week. Participants were persons
in Biology, Chemistry end Physic*

Telephone Open House For
"Successful" Compony
Over 300 local and out-of-town
guests attended the Open House
activities held last Sunday in 'Stan¬
dard Telephone Company’s Cleve¬
land Exchange office. This new
office building houses the very
latest in dial telephone equip¬
ment which now operates approxi¬
mately 1400 telephones in White
County.
While touring the Cleveland of¬
fice, visitors were reminded of
the amazing growth which has
taken place in the telephone in¬
dustry as they compared the dis¬
play of antique telephones with
the more modern ones, which
were also on display.
Among the many special guests
was Mrs. Carl Black of Cleveland.
Mrs. Black operated the Cleve¬
land Exchange switchboard be¬
tween 1018 - 1010. As a token of
their appreciation and esteem.
H. M. Stewart, president, present¬
ed Mrs. Black with an extension
telephone, ehanges-free for one
year on behalf of the personnel
of Standard Telephone Company.
Drawing for the door prize was
Mrs. W. E. Joyner, wife of Bill
Joyner, public relations supervise
or of Southern Bell Telephone
Company, Atlanta. The winner
was Mrs. Sara Dodd; who, by-the
way, was the very first visitor to
register. An extension telephone
of Mrs. Dodd’s choice will be in¬
stalled in her home, charges-free
for one year.
This occasion marked another
milestone in the life and growth
of Standard Telephone Company
in its pursuit to be "a partner in
the development of northeast
Georgia.”

said under questioning only that
the visit was called off “tor oper¬
ational reasons.”
The State Department would

embassy said it knew nothing
about the cancellation.
On-Job Training
Program Approved
At Gainesville
ATLANTA, Ga. — An on-job
training program under the Man¬
power Development and Training
Act has been approved in the
Gainesville, Georgia, area accord¬
ing to an announcement here to¬
day by Charles N. Conner, region¬
al dircetor of the U. S. Depart¬
ment of Labor’s Bureau of Appren¬
ticeship and Training.
Conner said that an agreement
with Chadbourn-Gotham Inc., pro¬
vides that 15 unemployed men
will be trained as knitting machine
fixers. The firm contemplates
steady employment for the men
upon satisfactory completion of
their 16-week training courses.
The Deaprtment of Labor has
authorized expenditures of $9,058
in training costs. The contracting
firm has estimated that it will pay
$17,472.00 in wages to the trainees.
Conner said that approval of
the program was based on an actual
shortage of skilled men needed
to keep the machines in operation.
More information on this type
of training program can be had
from James O. Long, state super¬
visor, Bureau of Apprenticeship
and Training, Room 528, 1371

isn
Point of View • to
By Romo* Drummond
(Written especially for Th#
Christian Science Monitor)
WaahtngVtn —
It isn’t enough to view with dis¬
may the sharply increasing crime
rate throughout the United States.
The need is for alertness with¬
out alarm.
The! rising wave of crime ia
America is not something which is
taking place only in 'the cities, The
crime rate is going up faster ia
the suburbs.
What is needed is an anti-crime
wave generated by civic groups —
Chambers of Commerce, Rotary,
P-TA, League of Women Voters —
equal to arresting and reversing
the mounting crime.
The first ingredient is a determi¬
nation not to coat over the facto
and to realize that this is not some¬
thing which is happening far away
but is almost certainly happening
in your own community.
Ihe blunt truth is that conditions
are getting worse, mot better.
The Federal Bureau of Invests
gation reports that more than two
and one quarter million serious
crimes occurred during 1983 — a
10 per cent increase over the pre¬
vious year.
The increase was 3 per cent
greater in suburban areas than in
the more heavily populated cities,
For the first nine months of
1964 crime of every type increased
at a still higher rate.
(Crimes committed by juveniles
are rising even more rapidly than
crimes by adults. More than 40
per cent of all arrests for serious
crimes involved people under 19.
The most revealing statistic of
is that for the past six y**?t
of crime has increased five
faster than the fate of pop¬
ulation growth.
I think we need to /ppnder these
sober words from the President
of the American Bar Association,
Lewis F. Powell, Jr., of Richmond,
Va.: ‘
“When we have reached a situ¬
ation when law-abiding citizens are
denied the privilege of using our
public streets and parks tor fear
of their personal safety, we are
approaching a breakdown in tbe
first duty of government at all
levies.
“We can't await the millennial
when crime will wither sway be¬
cause it* underlying causes are re¬
moved. We must act now to jab
tect decent citizens frdm criminal
molestation of their persons and
property.”
Obviously there is no simple or
single cure-all. This is a complex
problem involving social conditions
as well as moral standards, es¬
pecially when there is high un¬
employment at a time of wide?
spread prosperity.
But there are constructive steps
which citizens at the local level
can take individually and collec¬
J. Edgar Hoover, who is
closer to this problem than most,
strongly urges “stiffer laws and
sterner policies,” especially toward
hardened criminals.
The American Bar Association
is initiating a major program to
improve the administration of jus¬
tice. Civic groups could usefully
join together to give public support
for this cause in every community.
Public apathy, unwillingness to
become involved is a visible de¬
terrent to law enforcement. There
are many examples of the serious
lack of citizen support of police and
enforcement officers. These rings
from unwillingness to testify in
court to open toleration of unlaw¬
ful conduct.
The president of the American
Bar Association fairly points to a i
recent incident in Chicago when l
three young thugs brutally beat a
single patrolman while some 30
adults watched, as if, as he put it,
“it were a midnight show on TV."
It seems to me that the begin¬
ning step is citizen involvment at
the local level in each community.
— citizen support for better polic¬
ing, better police training, better
police pay — in order to accele
brate an anticrime wave of de¬
cisive proportions.
