The road, a four-lane extension of Old Hickory Boulevard East to North Parkway, will relieve munity projects. If the surplus funds, for any reason, are not realized in the future, the post will have to cancel some community projects, he added. SURPLUS FUNDS also have enabled the post to pay about $1,000 toward purchase of a special $50,000 bus to carry bedridden patients or those in wheel chairs to special events, such as major league baseball or football games. The bus is being purchased by veterans groups throughout the state and will be used to transport patients from Veterans Administration hospitals, he explained.

Gordon told The Sun that the corporation may not use revenue bonds as a means of financing the proposed project. THE NASHVILLE corporation had applied for the bonds through the Jackson Health and Educational Facilities Board, but a decision on the issuance of the bonds was delayed pending outcome of a Tennessee Bureau of Criminal Identification investigation.

Baker conceded, however, that Ronald Reagan, former California governor, would be a strong contender in a presidential primary with Ford. "My guess would be that Ford would carry Tennessee but that Reagan would win delegates in some districts," Baker said.

"I would think that Ford would be in pretty good shape, but I wouldn't count out the possibility that Reagan may be a serious contender in Tennessee." Asked if the discussion also involved his 1976 race for reelection. Brock said, "I think he ought to come down here and campaign for himself. I'll run my own campaign."

"I'm interested in helping people," he said, explaining that he would be willing to work in almost any area of social service after graduation.

PRINCIPALS ALREADY have investigated some 200 transfers of students from city to county schools. Supt. James Walker told the Madison County Board of Education Tues By MARY REED Sun Reporter Lenard Bobb and Samuel Smith, both sociology majors at Lane College, want to devote their lives to helping people. They decided to take a step in that direction by becoming volunteers for JACOA (Jackson Area Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependency). JACOA, one of the 11 local United Way agencies, is certainly "a helping-hand agency," said Bobb, a Cincinnati, Ohio, native.

BOBB AND SMITH, both 21-year-old seniors at Lane, spend Tuesdays and Thursdays with JACOA by doing such things as observing counseling sessions and attending court sessions involving driving while intoxicated cases. The students also have taken an alcoholic to Western State Psychiatric Hospital in Bolivar for detoxification, an experience which they described as "unique and rewarding." "It was a traumatic experience to find someone totally dependent on us; who really needed our help," they said. In return for their volunteer work at JACOA, Lane gives the students six credit hours toward their degrees. Lane looks on the volunteer work as a social work internship. Besides being able to help people through JACOA, Bobb said the volunteer work offers career experience which will be important after graduation when they apply for jobs.
