PAGE 64 THE INDIANAPOLIS STAR- WEDNESDAY, APRIL 27. 1983 Peo PLE THINGS a Couldn't be pushed Billy Carter says he never would have recovered from alcoholism if his family, including 'or 0 0 former President Carter, had pressured him. The former president's brother told students at Georgia Southern College that he probably would have "flat sat there and drank myself to death" if he had been pushed to quit drinking. Carter, whose daughter Marie is a student at Georgia Southern, kicked off the college's week-long program on problem drinking. He said he first realized Army 4brat' becomes youngest recruiter At 7'i years of age, Adeia Dickinson seems a little young to be an Army recruiter, but the northwestern Indiana girl's a successful one and has a certificate to prove it.

Several months ago she wore a shirt that said "Army Brat" and matching military pants, and Adeia bragged to fellow first graders in Cedar Lake that "My daddy can get people jobs." This news, at a time when many of the daddies of the pupils were laid off and out of work, produced remarkable results. Billy Yard ley went home and told his father. William V'ardley. while Nicholas Slager told his father, Richard Slager. The next day the men called Adeia's home and asked for her father.

Sgt 1st Class Dennis Dickinson has been Crown Point's Army recruiter for three years. He has been a very successful recruiter but never before did he find his daughter doing the recruiting for him As a result. Slager is now a pharmaceutical specialist at Fort Jackson, and Yardley leaves today for the Army. When news of Adeia's recruiting reached Dickinson's superiors, she received an Army shirt and a certificate "for exceptional assistance in the field of recruiting." Billy Carter must pay Joanna Green, 25. $1,500 plus damages because his men shot her year-old German Rottweiler.

The gamekeepers claimed they acted to protect some 600 pheasants worth $2,325. "I find the keepers have not told me the real and complete truth," McGregor said." $132,000 letter An 1841 letter written by President William Henry Harrison was sold in New York Tuesday for $132,000. The letter, sold to publisher Malcolm Forbes, initially was estimated as worth between $30,000 and $50,000, said Batya Knapp, a spokeswoman for Sotheby's gallery. "This is a record for any presidential letter at auction." Harrison's presidential letters were valuable because there are so few of them, Ms. Knapp said.

Harrison died after a month in office in 1841. The letter is a personal one asking a businessman to order Harrison's personal bank accounts. "The fact is that I am so much harassed by the multitudes that call upon me that I can give no proper attention to any business of my own." Harrison wrote in the 1 Vi page letter dated March 10. 1841. Forbes also purchased a letter George Washington wrote from Valley Forge, on March 25, 1778, to Virginia statesman Richard Henry Lee, discussing wartime strategy and problems.

The price was $60,500. The same letter was sold for $31,000 at a Sotheby's auction five years ago, Ms. Knapp said. Eighteen documents and letters known as the Treaty of Paris collection were sold for $110,000 to the American Museum of Historical Documents of Las Vegas. he had a serious drinking problem when he was about 23 but continued to drink into his 40s.

By the time he sought help, he said, he was drinking "beer all day long and then finishing off with a fifth or two a day." "At one time, I was the most famous drunk in the United States," he said. Carter, 46, spent several weeks at the U.S. Navy's alcoholism treatment center in Long Beach, in 1979. He now lives in Way cross, Ga.

IN 46204 Pie! send my Dior left Ushiorts. (D2WI5, 4-27): (News customers have flipped over a hair stylist's 'Aero which is turning the personal grooming market upside Look at it one way and it's something that should have been done a long time ago. This barber in Los Angeles where else? is hanging people by their heels and trimming their locks. I assume the proprietor gets whatever falls on the floor. And that doesn't bother me a bit.

The price of haircuts these days makes baldness a blessing. IN INDIANAPOLIS, though, it ain't bad. You usually can get out for an arm and a leg. My barber even has an installment plan and only charges 9 percent interest. But in my travels I've stopped at a few tonsorial parlors where it took a down payment on the Taj Mahal to get the dandruff swept off my shoulders.

I had a trim in San Francisco where the tab was only slightly more than it cost the government to send George Custer to the Last Scalping. The barber said it would make me a new man. And to a certain extent he was right. I didn't look all that much different in the mirror, but I left with my knowledge increased many fold Color Wt. Ht.

Still, anyone with children will see merit in the new barbering system. I remember that before my sprites sprouted, cutting their hair was every bit as easy as wrestling bears.

They usually came out resembling Mohawks because I needed both hands and feet to keep them in the room while holding the electric trimmer in my mouth. It usually was a week before I stopped vibrating. But, if the new idea flies, it could be the greatest thing that happened to busy mothers; a certified piece of cake. You won't even need an appointment. Take take 'em in and hang 'em on the rack.

Tell the barber there's no hurry you'll get them home if it takes you a month. sub-to Ul 1 10 handling chjrge frf jpplicjble) I WO- delivery charge fit jpplif jble) idd IN tUte TOTAL 1 .00 Delivery barge on orders over 1 .00 lesv or bevond Morton jnd idoning counties include an addition)!

The job for workers on Tuesday was fitting preast flooring. Also on Tuesday, the city's Capital Improvement Board announced plans to lease 44 suites at the stadium for prices ranging from $50,000 to $100,000..
