MORE ABOUT STUCKEY
— We have heard nothing from
Congressman Wil iam Stuckey
about our prediction of last
week that he will be appointed
to the Board of Governors of
the Federal Reserve System,
but we have talked to some ot
his people and they confirm
that there is something in the
wind. They seem somewhat
worried that the appointment
won t go through because of
the premature publicity. One
said that the appointment
hinges on President Nixon,
which, of course, is a fact. He
said that sometimes the Presi
dent leaks the name of a per
son whom he does NOT intend
to appoint, just to divert at
tention from the real appoint
ment.
In spite of all, though, we
are sti'l of the opinion that the
Congressman WILL get the
job.
And. one other predict’on
we'll make is this: If Stuckey is
appointed to the post, Carl
Sanders is a certainty in next
year's United States Senate
race.
** * •
In line with the above, if
Cone. Stuckey docs get the ap
pointment, State Senator Frank
Eldridge ,of Waycross, will run
for Congress in the Eighth Dis
trict.

Lt. Gov. Lester Maddox has
written a stinging letter to Gov
ernor Carter concerning Car
ter's ridicu e of Maddox in
Washington and at the recent
Southern Governors Confer-,
encc. (To the best of our know
ledge. this story has not been
in print before). The Lieut.-Gov
ernor took Carter to task about
the Governor's comments ques
tionine Maddox's integrity,
i. e., "I want you to know that
I am most unhappy with your
frequent comments to the press
and to the people that question
my integrity and sincerity. You
are act : ng as an entire'y dif
ferent man from what you were
in the days of your campaign
ing. A'thoueh I raised no ob
jection to you riding my coat
tail and coins out of your way
to say nice things about me and
my friends last year. I have
had enouch of you riding my
back and trving to cut my
throat all of this year."
Maddox said further: “Yon
shou’d not use me or any other
person to attempt to attract at
tention for yourself. To do so,
you do harm to Georgia, to
truth and to the peop'e". And,
he declared: “No office is
worth a man being a liar, a
coward, a hypocrite, or worth
betraying the trust of the peo
ple."

Governor that he wou d sup-
Mrs. Corrie Yancey Jones;
three daughters, Mrs. W. A.
Rogers of Warner Robins, Mrs.
Felton Burnamof Douglas, Mrs.

Funeral services for James

Savannah, who died Thursday,
November 18, in the Chandler (
General Hospital in Savannah,
following a long illness, were (

at 2:00 o’clock from the Shiloh
Methodist Church with the Rev. ‘
Lonnie Dunbar officiating.
Burial followed in the church (

■" 1 "* 1 P
port Carter’s reorganization
program in every way that
bolsters economy and efficiency
in government, but that he
would not be a part of any at
tempt to set up a supei govern
ment and perpetuate his (Car
ter's) power.
We are not privy to the Gov
ernor's reply, if he made one.
•♦ * ♦
Speaking of Maddox, this is
not general knowledge: He was
first invited to be the principal
speaker at the C of C forums
over the state, but the invita
tion was withdrawn when the
batt e started over Senate of
ficia s and Maddox refused to
go a’ong with the Governor’s
choices.
•• * *
Gov. Carter is an absolute
genius in drawing opposition to
his reorganization proposals.
Now he has the retail mer
chants of the state against him,
plus the State Board of Health
and their medical friends. In
fact, this Board is holding meet
ing with legislators this week
to organize the fight in the
legis ature.
We have yet to find a mem
ber of the Assemb y who savs
he will vote for reorganization.
Other peop'e tell us the same
thing. However, there is still a
feeling that the Governor can
put so much pressure on House
members that the anti forces
wil not be ab'e to muster 98
votes against the biil. The Sen
ate is a different story.

The daily press has reported
Labor Commissioner Sam Cald
well's statements last Friday
that he has written the Gover
nor a letter vetoing reorganiza
tion plans for his department.
Since this is written before the
conference w'as he d. we don’t
know whether the press report
ed Ca dwell’s strong language,
but. in case they didn't, the
Commissioner called Carter a
"liar" twice.
This is not the first time Sam
has denounced the Governor.
He tod him to his face recently
that the next time he had con
versation with Carter he would
have a tape recorder handy.

COMPUTER SCHOOLS
1 want to study computers.
Can you give me some advice
on picking a good computer
school?
Computer operations are
indeed the coming thing, and
they will figure more and
more in the future of
government, business and
finance. As a result, schools to
train people in the various
phases of electronic data
processing have sprung up like
mushrooms. Many are
excellent, some only adequate
and others outright gyps.
First of all, get a list of
computer schools in your area,
and a list of the companies
that employ EDP personnel in
the area where you hope to
work. Then, contact the
companies to find out the
number and type of computer
jobs that are available. More
important, find out if these
companies hire people who
were trained by the schools
you are considering.
It is also good to check out
the schools with consumer
protection groups such as the
Better Business Bureau,
Chamber of Commerce and
Georgia Consumers Services to
find out if there have been
complaints against them and
how, or if, they were settled.
Find out if the schools are
approved or accredited by
such organizations as the
Accrediting Commission of
the National Association of
Trade and Technical Schools,
the Accrediting Commission
for Business Schools and the
Accrediting Commission of
the National Home Study
Council all in Washington
D.C.., and if they follow the
guidelines set down by the
Association for Computing
Machinery and the Data
Processing Management
Association. Also, find out
how long the school has been
operating. The fact that a
school has been operating for
a long time doesn’t prove that
it^s good any more than the
St that a school just had it’s
nd opening means anything
However, if a school has
been operating a long time, it
may be an indication of
reliability.
Be sure to get information
from more than one school.
Among the things you should
find out are if their equipment
is up-to-date, if they have
enough equipment to give you
real, practical experience in
handling it, what the
educational background of the
teachers is and what the

student/teacher ratio is. Try to
actually visit several schools
and talk to the teachers and
students before making up
your mind. Don’t forget to
check with local colleges,
universities and technical
schools as well as private
computer schools. When you
compare the costs of different
schools, be sure the amount
covers the same type of
training, and the same number
of hours. Also, be sure that
the price quoted to you is the
TOTAL price, rather than a
base price, with a lot of extras
to be added on later.
What kind of entrance
requirements does the schools
have? Very low entrance
requirements are often a dead
give away that the school is
more interested in getting
your money than turning out
top quality graduates. In any
case, you should take at least
one comprehensive aptitude
test to find out if a career in
computers is really for you. If
possible, take the test at an
independent center or
organization rather than at the
school in which you want to
enroll.
Os course you should read
the contract carefully before
you sign. Computer school can
cost a thousand dollars or
more, so don’t be rushed into
signing up. Get outside advice,
ask the school for written
clarification of anything you
don’t understand and be sure
all agreements are in writing.
Be sure that the amount of
tuition, schedule of payments,
tuition refund policy and
cancellation clauses are all
spelled out.
Be careful if a school
absolutely promises you
employment after you
complete the course. Nobody
can just promise you a job; it
depends upon your own
ability and the job market at
the time. Also, watch out for
schools that try to make it
sound like they are affiliated
with a major EDP company,
but who really have no official
association.

Employers Urged
To Set Up On Job
Training For Vets
A new program is now in
effect which will greatly facili
tate the establishment of on
the-job training programs for
veterans.
THIS WEEK the United States will pause from its work and
troubles for a day of national Thanksgiving.
It is a time for the American people to pray for Divine Guid
ance, ask the blessings of God upon our nation, and to give thanks
for the abundance and freedom we enjoy in this country.
Ours is away of life and a system of government that has
produced the highest standard of living in the world, a productive
economy, an excellent educational system, high health standards,
and a jealously guarded heritage of liberty.
Through American ingenuity and inventiveness, the American
people have managed throughout history to meet most of our
needs almost as fast as they developed. We have met crises head
on, national and international, social and economic, and our nation
has always emerged stronger and more secure.
THERE HAS BEEN very little to crow about in our country
in recent years. We have been involved in a war that has dragged
on year after year. The economy is in a shambles. Crime and dis
order have polarized our people and weakened respect for law and
order and constituted authority.
But there are some indications, as we approach the end of the
second year of the new decade, that we are making the turn and
beginning to right wrongs that have plagued our nation for so long.
More than half of our troops have been brought home from
Vietnam, the level of combat greatly reduced, and casualties
lessened. Disengagement from this tragic war now seems nearer
to reality, rather than just an empty promise. I believe we can
look for virtually all U.S. combat elements to be removed from
Vietnam in just a matter of months, and progress made toward
the release of Americans held prisoners of war over there.
Our ailing economy appears to be on its way, at least, to recov
ery. The unemployment rate has declined some, and government
controls hopefully will reverse inflation and strengthen the dollar.
In this time of economic crisis, the American people have been
called upon to make sacrifices, and for the most part the response
has been good and in the best interests of our nation and people.
I have personally been heartened by the fact that more people
and the Congress indicate a strong desire to abandon our costly
policy of trying to keep up and safeguard the whole world. This
has been too long in coming and I think our country could gain
much from a policy of enlightened self-interest.
There are hopeful signs this Thanksgiving, and we have much
for which to be thankful.
ATLANTA (PRN) — What goes better with rich, heavy
holiday dinners than light, airy frozen fruit salads!
This one melts in your mouth just like a snowflake. It’s also
sweet enough to qualify as a dessert if that’s your preference.
Since holiday cooking hours are rushed, it’s a “dump recipe.“
The ingredients don’t have to be carefully measured. Just dump
things together, freeze, slice, and serve.
The most amazing thing about this recipe is the tremendous
increase in the volume of the egg whites when beaten with the
fruit cocktail syrup. Two egg whites make a whole bowl full of
snowy foam. The mandarin orange flavored yogurt blends in to
create the delicate orange color. Additional fruits such as
cherries and pineapple, or chopped nuts can also be added.
Creativity is the word; the result is delicious. Easy, but
elegant. It’s nice to serve a dish your family likes as well as you
do.
Frozen Fruit Souffle
2 egg whites
1 can fruit cocktail
1 cup miniature marshmallows
1 cup orange flavored yogurt (mandarin)
1/2 teaspoon almond flavoring
In large bowl beat egg whites with juice from fruit cocktail
for 3 to 5 minutes. Volume will be larger and not quite as stiff
as egg whites beaten with cream of tartar or salt. Fold in
remaining ingredients and pour into individual molds or loaf
pans. Freeze.
To serve slice loaf and/or unmold. Garnish with whipped
cream and slivered almonds.
Makes 12 1/2 cup servings.
If you have any questions or recipes you would like to share
please write to me: Georgia Egg Commission, 168" Tullie Circle.

According to Georgia Vet
erans Service Director Pete
Wheeler, “This new program
is quite indicative of the active
participation on the part of the
Georgia Department of Vet
erans Service in the President’s
‘Jobs for Veterans’ program.
“Actually it is a joint effort
by the Veterans Service De
partment together with the Vet
erans Administration and the
State Department of Labor,’’
Wheeler added.
Explaining how the new pro
gram works, W'heeler said,
“Under this new procedure, an
on-the-job training program
may now be written up and
approved prior to a veteran
actually beginning his training.
“Heretofore it was required
that a veteran be employed in
a particular firm before an
on-the-job training program
could be approved. It was neces
sary for a veteran to seek out
an employer who might, in turn,
apply for an on-the-job training
program to be approved for his
place of business.
Although no employer is
mder any obligation to hire a
veteran, the new program does
offer certain advantages that
will benefit the employer as
well as the veteran.
Wheeler explained, “An em
ployer can now set up an on
the-job training program and
then have this information furn
ished to veterans who apply at
the state employment service.
This will greatly assist an em
ployer in recruiting an
Herman Talmadge
REPORTS fROM THE UNITED STATES SENATE
employee who is suitable to a
particular job.
“Also, an employer hiring
a veteran will benefit by the
fact that part of the veteran’s
salary will be subsidized, be
cause during the time he is
actively engaged in an on-the
job training program, a veteran
receives a training allowance
from the VA. The duration of
an on-the-job training program
is limited to 24 months.”
Since the new program was
activated on October 1, 1971,
some 34 Georgia business
establishments, which have job
openings, have received “pre
approval” for on-the-job train
ing programs. Wheeler advised
interested veterans to enroll
with the state employment ser
vice which maintains employer
“banks,” or listings of firms
providing on-the-job training.
Employers interested in es
tablishing on-the-job training
programs may obtain complete
information from any office of
the Georgia Department of Vet
erans Service.
Students From Ten
Foreign Countries
At Middle Ga.
There is a small community
in Middle Georgia that has citi
zens erf ten foreign countries,
and 18 other states — not to
mention three-fourths of the
counties of Georgia -- in its
population of 2,075.
The community is the campus
of Middle Georgia College on
the outskirts of Cochran.
Exactly one-half of the con
tingent of foreign students is
from Iran, Others come from
Cuba, Colombia, Panama, Nica
rauga, Costa Rica, and
Honduras to the South. One is
from Canada to the North. One
is from Switzerland. Still an
other is from one of the world’s

There has been a great deal
of discussion recently about
accountability in education.
Some ad v o< ate-■ ind
opponents feel so -a.uigly
about the matter that even the
mention of the word evokes
heated emotions.
As in the case with any new
trend. semantics and
interpretation enter any
exploration of the subject.
Some critics of our schools,
particularly finding fault with
our tax-supported institutions,
want to pursue the concept to
the extreme. putting
everything on a basis of
dollars, efficiency, cost-benefit
ratios, and a strict
measurement of the end result
I how much students learn, and
how well they apply that
knowledge).
Difficulties with either
. extreme are obvious. Those
traditional educators who feel
most threatened by new
approaches. especially any
business-like ideas of product
accountability. have some
sound arguments on their side.
It may not be possible to
break down human behavior,
analyzing the activities of
individuals and studying their
accomplishments as a means
of judging their teachers.
There are multiple
complications involved.
At the same time, there is
more need for a critical
examination of the end
product, the students our
schools are producing. Most
progressive educators
recognize the necessity to
require higher professional
performance, and to look at
the end result of teaching
efforts. What standards and
techniques can be developed
toward this end remains to be
seen.
11. Other states represented
are Alabama, Alaska, Arizona,
Colorado, Dele ware, Illinois,
Kansas, Ohio, New York, South
Carolina, Pennsylvania, Texas,
Tennessee, Utah and Virginia.
Middle Georgia continued to
draw students from every cor
ner of Georgia, with 118 dif

Houston County continues to
contribute the largest number
of students, 328, of any single
county. Large numbers also
come from Laurens, 162;
Bleckley, 159; Bibb, 127; Dodge,

Students also converge on the
Middle Georgia campus from
as far as Camden and Seminole
