One of the season's first poli
tical anecdotes: Jeannie Martin
received a lot of support for her
continued presence on the Polk
County Board of Commission
ers after announcing her inten
tion not to seek reelection a
month or so ago.
One of the most important
supporters was her son,
Jonathan. While riding to
school one morning, Jonathan
said: "Mom, if you decide to
run again, and I sure hope you
do, I have a great campaign
poster slogan for you: Too Legit
to Quit."

Bike-A-Thon Riders
Fight Childhood Cancer
Janice Miller has called on all
Landrum residents to join the
St. Jude Children's Research
Hospital Wheels For Life Bike-
A-Thon slated for Sat., Mar. 21
at 9 a.m. at Southside Baptist
Church.
Volunteer workers and riders
are needed for this Bike-A-
Thon to raise funds for the
world-famous research center
in its battle against childhood
cancer and other catastrophic
childhood diseases. "We're
looking for riders and helpers
who will contribute their time
and talent to help children live.
We really need lots of riders,
since they are the ones who can
make this Bike-A-Thon suc
cessful," Mrs. Miller said. In the
Wheels For Life Bike-A-Thon,
riders ask sponsors to make a
donation based on each mile
completed. All riders turning in
money will receive a certificate.
Those who raise $30 will get a
certificate and a special St. Jude
T-Shirt. When $75 is raised,
the rider receives a sports bag,
as well as the certificate and
T-Shirt.
"The real prize, though, is the
pride everyone can take in giv
ing children a chance to live a
normal life," Janice said.
Contact Janice Miller at
457-4498 for details on riding
or sponsoring a rider.
St. Jude Hospital was founded
by Danny Thomas, and operates
primarily from public support.

Columbus Manager
Laments State,
Federal Regulations
State and federal regulations
being passed along by Colum
bus's "comrades" in Raleigh arc
going to cost the town between
$50,(1(10 and $60,000 next year,
town administrator Butch Smith
told the council last Thursday.
"You can kill a man with a
.22, but they're using machine
guns," Smith said.
He talked with the council
about "safe confinement" regu
lations, "hazardous communi
cation" regulations, among
others. And, he said, Columbus
was reclassified because it ser
vices Hatch Mill and its water
and sewer treatment permits
were increased in cost and
made more strict.
"We're looking at leaner times
coming up," he said.
In other action, the council
appointed Dave Butts to a
two-year term and Mark West
to a one-year term, both on the
Columbus Fire Department
advisory board.
