Threats to kill ignored as clowning

Legal niceties block career center project
The Otuo Board of Regents was m the process Monday of
ootifying the RIO Grande ConmlUnity College Board of
Trusrees to halt construction work on the new $1.8 nulhon
Technical Careers Center " untU that least' is secu red ."
The quotation 1s from Dr. M.ix. J . Lerner, c.hancellor of twovear programs of the OhiO Board of Regents, who was talking
by telephooe earl~ afternoon ~londay to the Galhpohs Daily
TrtbWie and Pomeroy-Mtddleport Sentinel
Dr. Lerner said that the land must be owned b)· the
Commumty College. or lea sed on a long4erm basts wtth both
parues m full ag reement .
Somewhat la\er Mmday afternoon. Einon Plwnmer ,
chairman of the CommWlity College Boa rd of Trustees . told
the Daily Tribltne and Sentune l tha t the leg~! arrangement is
this .

'llle prtva!P college must deed the land and the building to
the cm&gt; munity college ; then the comntWlity college leases the
land a nd the buildlng to Rio Grande College for the private
college to opera!P 11
Ownership , however, resides in the community college.
Earlier. Plwnmer Monday said in another telephone
conversation wtth the Daily Tribune and Sentinel, that the
CY•mmunitv college had asked for the deed a year ago, but had
re&lt;'eived it on!)• this month . Plummer said that Atty. John E .
Halliday drew up the deed .
Halliday satd : " As soon as I got the proper descriptions I
\&lt;Tote the deed."
.
Plununer scoffed at alleged prospects that the Techmcal
Ca reers Center would fail and the money go to some other
community college project.

had come to their house with a pistol several times and that he
(Cornell ) was "terrified ."
Asked if Fleming was hiS friend now , Cornell replied,
" Yes, I like the man."
J:n further questioning, he said that he liked the man but
not his ways. Cornell related his present stlldy [or Ute ministry

In conclusion , Cornell under cross examination stated that

Weese said the differences

A special program at the
Pomeroy Seventh-day Adventist Church Saturday·
afternoon will celebrate the
joy of the Christmas season lrt
music and meditation on 'the
meaning of Christ's Advent.
Clara Mcintyre Sabbath.
School Supt., said ''The Bible
account ·reports that the
shepherds were in the fields
with their flocks when angels
appeared. This would have
been impossible at the end of
December because there
would have been no grass! "
The 25th of December was
already a holiday in the
Roman Empire of the early
Christian era. As Christianity
spread
through
the
Mediterranean world , it
came into conflict, and then
merged, with the prevailing
civil religions of the tinoe.
One such included a holiday
three days after the winter
soltice, when astronomers of
the day could determine that
the sun was beginning to set
higher on the horizon, and the
days began to be longer.
" When Christianity
became the religion· of the
el)lpire, under Constantine, it
was decided to observe the
birth of Christ on this popular
holiday . And so it has continued from the ·Fourth
Century/' said Mrs. Mcintyre .
But pagan roots shouldn't
deter Christians from appreciating and enjoying the
focus on Christ and his life,
ad~ed the superintendent.
"A~ventists believe every
opportunity to uplift the
Saviour is worthwhile ."
Visitors are welcome to attend this Special Christmas
service at the Adventist

POLLY·s POINTERS
Polly Cramer

Use 'dry ' suds on shades
and continue tn next section
until entire shade is clean.
Wash other side the same
way. Hang shade back at window and pull it all the way
down .and leave until
thoroughly dry . After pull
cord is washed and dry put it
back on.
Try sponging the urine
stains with mixture of two
tablespoons of ammonia in a
cup of water. As they are set
Utls may not work. So then try
white vinegar and then wash
in warm suds. Another suggested remedy is to sponge
lightly with a quart of warm
water to which you' have add• ed one-half. cup salt. - PO!.r
LY
DEAR POLLY - A reader
suggested using a small
stapler in the kitchen to use
for closing lunch bags, potato
chip bags and so on and I am
writing to urge readers NOT
to use staples in any way connected with food. I am a
medical secretary and know
from experience that accidents can happen particularly with children who
are the great nibblers and
openers of such packages.
Perhaps gununed tape or
twisties (even they are slightly risky) would be better kitchen aids for such uses. FRANCES.
DEAR POLLY- Wh enever
- - - - - - - - - . J opened a bag of potato chips
. or any bagged food I could not
refold the end tight enough so
the contents stayed fresh . I
started putting.a spring type
clothespin over the fold . This
works quite well and I have
bought a package of the small
plastic ones to use just for
this. - DONNA.
DEAR
POLLY - Myrtle and Aggie
should use regular baking
soda for removing coffee
stains from cups. I have used
it for years and it works. LOURENE.

POLLY'S PROBLEM
DEAR POLLY- My white
window shades are four years
old and quite dirty but the last
time I triea to wash such
lhades with soap and water I
ruined them. Any suggestions ?
My second problem is with
stains left from the baby wetting on my 50 percent cotton
and 50 percent polyester
bedspread. The stain was set
be(pre I washed the spread
and after a couple of
washings it still shows. I
would appreciate some help.
-MARYANNE.
DEAR MARY ANNE- I
am preswning your shades
are washable and not paper
anes. Use an old . sheet,
llhower curtain or so on to
cover a table large enough to
liPread shade out. Put cup of
aoap or detergent in bowl and
lldd just enough warm water
IAl wet it. Whip with beater to
make stiff "dry" suds. Rinse
with clean warm water. The
method of procedure is to
remove pull cord tn wash
11eparately and unroll shade
Oat on prepared table. Dust
both sides with a clean cloth.
Wash one section at a time
llarting at the top and sponge
with the thick suds. Rinse
with clean damp sponge or
cloth, Wipe dry and roll it up

most or us have had the experience -particularly as
children- of getting extra attention when sick. This
association between pain and
attention is carried into
adulthood.
Ex:pressing pain can have
other desirable results. It
may help a person avoid an
unpleasant situa tion. Your
husband may want to return
to work but at the same time
may be frightened of the
students- or he may doubt he
will be rehired due to his pnr

might be shielding him from
having to face this conflict.
You could also be
benefiting from his pain. Suppose that you had to start

UNCONSCIOUS 171RACISM H t; RR'~
~
· -DEAR HELEN :
Jam a black woman and it professional who l'Oillt:' S m c 01lt.M't
14-ith people of many nat tonahtu~s . Something wtut es do irrita tes me no to end. In gestures t I guess I of fnenllslnp, they
loueh my hand or fa&lt;.·e or ann. and then · wipe the smm• hand
off on their clothing, as though I were d1rty or greasy. If it's
kindness tht!Y feel . a "thank you'' is cnuu~h . Smce whites l'an
touch other whites with acned skm . oily hair or layerc'&lt;l
makeup, and not do this, I 'd rather tlwy'd slay their di; tance
with me.
I've been bla&lt;·k for years, and I don't rub off! ·NO GREASE,
NO DIRT
DEARNGND:
Your letter makes me ashamed for thoughless whites who
continue W1Conscious al'lions · damaging bred-m things -even
while tltinking of themselves as completely Wlprej udiccd.
,It reminds me of an event I didn't w1derstand at the time.
Down Ill Texas I was introduced to a black woman wlule a!ten·
ding chu rch with friends. I extended my hand; she pointedly
ignored it, and, of course. I felt snubbed. Could it have been she .
just didn't warit to chance another "wipe-off ' from a white '
Sad how we interpret so wrongly, so often.
These people you mention: they're evidently friends and col·
leagues, for their touch means ' 'thanks,'' or "I like you." I
wonder what would happen if you quietly (old them how you
feel?
They're carrymg an excess baggage of ma nn~risms bequeathed to them by parents and grandparents ·and I'm sure
they aren't even aware.· H.
DEAR HELEN :
Tltis happens constantly. Some little thing occurs, like being
called to replace a Sunday School teacher at the last minute
when I'm unprepared. I smolder all through the class, but
don't explode until! get home, and then I turn my resentment
toward my husband ... fo r several days afterward. His fa ults
are magn ified. I nag about his many cl ub act ivities, his "ignor·
lng'' me; and I almost begin to hate him. I reach the point
where I'm tempted to dnve the ca r off a bridge, or run away.
All over a silly outside incident.
·
About the time I start thinking I should visit the mental
health clinic, I get better. But it always comes back. Am I hav·
in~ normal remale depressions, or what?
Incidentally , he says anyone should apprecia te a man like
him. and it's true : he's a good husband and father. I have
whatever I want. What's wrong'! · MRS. C.
DEAR MRS. C.:
When " any little outside incident" leads to a home explosion
and prolonged depression, you can be sure the incident is only
the steam from an overtax£&lt;! valve. Root cause? I suspect
smoldering hot resentment over·a marriage you won't admit is
going sour.
Professional counsel would help both you and your husband.
Gall your local Family Servic.e Agency· and don' t delay ! · H.
DEAR HELEN :
They show an awful lot of nude wbmen Ill X· and R-rated
movies, but seldom is a naked ma n on the screen for very long.
I think this is unfair to females. How come?· N.T.O.
DEARN.:
Such films exploit women, make them objects for men's fa ntasies. My theory is they show actors par!ially clothed to
demonstrate male superiority over females. ·H.

I WONDER
HOW FAR
HE GOT

see four potential losers.
One trwnp if the finesse
loses, one heart and the two
,mi#lng aces. Can he do
anything about one of those
' io!&lt;!ts?
He sure can if he has time .
He can discard one of hls
hearts on one of dununy's
diamonds. To do this he

must leave trumps alone
and lead a diamond toward
his queen. East will duck,
but South will lead a sepond
diamond and knock out the
ace.. East plays a second
heart, but South gets to
discard his potential loser on
a good diamond before tak·
ing the trump finesse.

A Massachusets reader
wants to know if there Is
such a play as the Coon
coup.
Some years ago Charles
Coon of Boston playing for
America in the world's
championship made a most
, unusual but successful ~ad
against Italy and the play
was then named the Coon
coup.

RIVERSIDE , CALIF . - PATRICK KEARNEY, who
confessed to 28 homosexual "trashbag slayings, " possibly
making him the worst mass murderer in U.S. history , was
sentenced tD ilfe in prison Wednesday , The sentence was
passed inunediately after Kearney, 38, pleaded guilty to three
of the murders. The prosecutor said Kearney could be transferred to a state prison as early as today.
Portions of dismembered boys and young. men ranging in
age from 13 tn 28 ~ most of them teen-age homosexual drifters
- have been found in plastic trash bags alongside highways
throughout Southern California since 1970. Superior Court
Judge John Hews warned Kearney that although he will he

spend the rest of your naturallifeinprison."
Kearney replied that a life sentence "seems lenient
considering the nature of the crime. It's nothing to be proud of.
I can't allow myself to think about it much. It's too painful. I
am willing to take responsibility for my actions."
WASHINGTON - PRESIDENT CARTER has approved
doubling the nwnber of U.S. scheduled airlines flying the
Atlantic and creating 13 new "gateway cities" for non-stop
flights between the United States and Europe. Carter accepted
most or the route expa~ons proposed by the Civil Aeronautics
Board. But the president rejected the CAB's most
controversial proposal and said Dallas-based Braniff
International rather than Pan American World Airways
should link Dallas and London ,
The big loser in the decision, Pan Am, immediately
assailed the actioo. "The employees and shareholders at Pan
Am are fed up with government action which continues to
weaken Pan Am," said WiUiam T. Seawell, Pan Am's
chairman.
WASHINGTON - THE SECURITIES and exchange Com·
mission says the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Co . in the past
maintained roughly $1.5 million in secret funds, much of it
· used by subsidiaries for payments to officials in foreign
countries. In' papers filed in U.S. District ·Court Wednesday,
Goodyear consented to an injunction barring it from such
activities in lhe future, although It did not admit any
wrongdoing.
As part of the court settlement, Goodyear filed a report
citing cases where its subsidiaries kept secret funds and
sometimes made paymentB to low-level foreign government
officials and unions. The SEC said in a suit that between about
1964 and 1970 Goodyear put more than $522,000 in funds from
subsidialres, not recorded in corporate books, into a Swiss
bank account.

poisoning to her husband when she appeared as a prosecution
witness Wednesday in the trial of John Wayne Fleming,
charged also with Mrs. Proffitt with the deatli of Middleswari.
In her opening testimony, Mrs. Proffitt told the court that
she had married Gordon C. Proffitl on Oct. 16 when she was out
of jail on the charges of kill~ Middleswart. ·
She outlined her relationship with F1eming from March,
1977 through the summer and fall when they were bOth
arrested on cbarge of aggravated murder in the death of Mrs ,
Proffitt's husband. She said that both she and Fleming visited
the Jack Cornell family , neighbors of both, and that one day
F1eming asked her for a date that evening. She agreed and met
him. From then on they had an affair and saw each other
frequently often meeting at the Cornell home and then driving
around.
"We cared a lot for one another," Mrs. Proffitt said in her
account of the relationship with Fleming. She said her home
Ilfe with Middleswart had been bad since she and her late
husband lost their son in an accident. They fought and
Middleswart beat her, she said.
"I couldn't stand it no longer," she said.
She told the jury that one night, Fleming was to meet her
and he didn't arrive so she went to hi$ trailer. F1eming told her
he was sick and that he thought hls wife and daughter-in-law
were giving hlm poison . She said she saw the poison in the
trailer and commented that if it made Fleming feel tbat bad,
he should give it to her and " I'll give some to Bill."
HoW.ver, she stated she did not take the bOttle of poison
(Terro, ant killer) with her that night because F1eming told
her to meet him at Jack Scarbrough's home the next day and
he would have it in his . truck, She said she went to the
Scarbrough home the next day and met F1eming, who was
working on a new roof at that reslden~ , and got the bottle of
poison out of the truck.
'
"John knew what! was going to do with it."
She reported that she put the ant poison In her purse and
took it home and set it on the sink.
·
She stated that she saw Fleming that evening and they
discussed the poisoning and their wanting to get together. She
said Fleming told her to get a divorce, leave Middleswart, or
give him the-poison ,

Average worker hit lightly
WASHINGTON iUPI) - The average American
worker wlll only Jl8Y.. an additional $2.50 a week In 1987
under new So&lt;ial Security tax law enacted tn reocue the
financially ailing system relied upon by 33 mU!Ion rlthens

.
.
Don Wortland, acting Social Security eolllllliiiBIIJIII!I',
said the law boosting tues $22'1 billion over the next ten
years would triple levies for aboull percent of the blghest
Income workers by 1987. But for the average worker, the
Increases will be small. ·
Under the old law a worker wltb average eal'lllllg1 $10,00 In 1!118- would pay Social Security tueo of MH
next year and '$1,20lln 1987, Wortman said.
Under the new law the 198llax will be $1,S31 for an
average wage earner, or an Increase of about $Z.M a
week. 'lbe expected average anaoml wage In 1981 wlil be
$18,800.

She said Bill was not in any shape for her w leave and she
had a " big lawsuit coming up". She related that Fleming told
her he had tasted the poison and that it was sweet. He told her
to put it in Middleswart•s milk.
"That's what I dooe with it" , she stated.
Mrs. Proffitt said she got the ant poison in May and
administered some to her husband the first part of June. He
was hospitalized the second week of June.
"John (Fleming) knew I had done it. I called him from the
hospital and told him Bill was admitted and that I had given
him some of the poison", Mrs. Proffitt testified.
She was with Middleswart at the hospital most of the time
but she saw Fleming the following weekend and she said she
and Fleming made plans to the effect that they would both
deny everything if anyone detected that Middleswart had been
given poison.
Mrs. Proffitt remarked that when her husband was
released from the hospital, they had another fight. She told
F1eming about it and said that he advised her: "If he i$ going
to act that way, give him some more poison.' '
Mrs. Proffitt !Did the jury she gave Middleswart some

more poison the last of June and that her husband came home
sick. She took him to a doctor and then on the following Sunday
he became very ill and she took him to Veterans Memorial
HospitaL
Mrs. Proffitt calmly told the jury that she bad
administered the ant poison to her husband on four occasions,
once In the first part of June and three more times the last of
June.
During this time, she said she talked to Fleming who asked
lf she had given Middleswart the poison and she replied in the
affirmative.
She told of her husband being moved from Veterans
Memorial Hospital to the Veterans Administration Hospital in
Cincinnati and of his dying about one-hour after he arrived at
the Cincinnati institution.
When advised that Middleswart had died, Mrs. Proffitt
stated she "cried" until Pe!Uly (her daughter ) arrived at the
Cincinnati hospital a short time later.
While the corpse of Middleswartlay at the funeral home in
Pomeroy, Mrs, Proffitt said that Fleming cam_e and she told
him it would be best if he stayed away so that people "Wouldn't
suspect." She said Fleming bought flowers for her husband
and sat them in front of the casket.
Again, she reported, she and Fleming made plans for
