"Airman Donald W. DuBois, son of Mr. and Mrs. Clifford DuBois of Poulan, has completed Air Force basic training at Lackland AFB, Tex. The airman is remaining at Lackland for specialized training in the security police field. DuBois is a 1968 graduate of Worth County High School, Sylvester.

Diane McLean, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Frederick McLean, is the Youth Ambassador for the 1975 Christmas Seal Campaign of the Georgia Lung Association.
