Every week hundreds of patients come to the Dove Clinic seeking treatment for their problems. They choose the Dove Clinic because we are so thorough in our examinations and leave nothing to guess work. We are specialists in our chosen field. Dr. C.G.

Dove DOVE CHIROPRACTIC CLINIC Specializing in Spine and Nerve Rehabilitation! Phone 859-2900 959 Greenville Road, Easley WLOS readies for 6 p.m. assault Reporters Joanna Robinson, Phyllis Dorman and Tracy Gray also have left Ms. Robinson to report in Rockford, and Ms. Dorman to accept a job with the forest service in Colorado. Gray currently is seeking a reporting position.

Four reporters have been hired: Harriet Moses, a Sumter native and recent graduate of the University of Georgia; Sheree Blakemore, most recently a reporter for WHNT-TV in Huntsville, Tony Trueblood, most recently a reporter-anchor for WTHI-TV in Terre Haute, and Wanda Reese, a reporter from WTVW-TV in Evansville, Ind. Photographer Ron Ruehl has left the Asheville station to produce documentaries for the state of North Carolina, and Willie Orr has been hired. BATHTUB fr For the first time in the history of the Greenville-Spartan; burg-Asheville television market, the three local evening newscasts will meet head on, beginning in late September when WLOS-TV moves its "Dateline News" to 6 p.m. "Six o'clock is almost definite," said WLOS news director John Butte this week. When WLOS first began a local news program, it ran at 5: 30 p.m.

Years later, when the decision was made to upgrade and move it, the 7 p.m. time was chosen so that it would not -have to compete with WFBC and WSPA, said Butte. Now station executives feel they are ready to compete head to head. The move comes at a time when WLOS is gaining confi- dence through its rapidly expanding news department: Six people have left in the past few weeks or are leaving soon, and are being replaced by nine employees. Much of the confidence also stems from the sizeable bureau housed in the downtown Bankers Trust Building.

Jack Major was recently promoted to bureau chief, giving the bureau an editorial head, rather than an operations manager, for the first time. The Greenville office has complete facilities so that finished stories can be beamed directly to Asheville right up until airtime. In addition to the time change for the evening newscast, 'the Saturday and Sunday 11 p.m. productions are being from 15 to 30 minutes. A half-hour newscast will also ibe added at 6 p.m.

Sundays. Accompanying the big news drive is a freshened promotional angle, altering the "News people in touch with people" to "TV 13 in touch with you." As Butte envisions it, the station will be dealing with stories "to put us more in touch with the everyday needs of the viewer." The personnel switches and additions are designed to "'dovetail with the new plans. Sports director Scott Palmer is leaving at the end of this jimonth to direct the sports department at WAPI-TV in Birmingham, Ala. As stipulated in the contract he signed when he joined the Asheville station, David Steele will become WLOS's 'sports director. In addition, Stan Pamfilis, formerly sports director at a -'station in Panama City, has been hired to assist Steele in 1 Asheville.

And the Greenville bureau will get its first sports re-t porter with the hiring of Cliff Yeargin from Tom Sweeney, who recently left as co-anchor, has been by Cicely Hand, 26, a former anchor in the tMinneapolis-St. Paul market. Jerry Mayer, 27, a reporter-anchor from a Rockford, station, has been hired as week-end co-anchor.
