Each of the people surveyed was asked his second choice if his top preference was out of the race. Close to half (44 per cent) of the Democrats and independents likely to vote in 1976 either reject all of the active candidates or simply cannot choose among them.

While Wallace holds a clear lead, it would be difficult for him to go mu'-h beyond his 20 per cent mark. Jackson received 14 per cent, but no others scored higher than 5 per cent. One would have to conclude that the rank and file of Democrats and independents would like a broader list to choose from or at least a chance to get to know the declared candidates.

All of these conclusions, of course, assume that Sen. Edward Kennedy, is to at his word that he is permanently out of the 1976 contest for the White House.

Recently, the Harris Survey asked a national cross section Democrats and independents who are likely voters in 1976 to name the first choice, from a list of people who have been mentioned as possible Democratic party nominees. Respondents were also asked, "Now which ones on that list do you feel you could not vote for it if they became the Democratic nominee. Although Gov. George Wallace receives the most first-choice votes (14 per cent), he also leads the list of potential nominees whom Democrats and independents say they could not vote for even if he were nominated (39 per cent in all). Two other relatively high ranking Democrats who have been their party's standard-bearers in the past, Sen.

Hubert Humphrey and Sen. George McGovern, also show up with far more opposition than support. Sen. Henry Jackson and Sen. Edmund Muskie both have some solid backing and the advantage that there are fewer voters who are implacably set A with Dr.

All of these men are well known, and all have either run as their party's nominee in the past or run in past primaries. The five best known candidates Wallace, Humphrey, Muskie, McGovern and Jackson are bunched so closely in popular preference that a blanket could be thrown over the lot.

It is evident that none has broken away from the others to take any kind of lead. Well over six in every 10 Democrats would seriously object to at least one of these better known name figures if nominated. Although the Democratic National Convention is less than a year away, it is evident from these results that there simply is no real frontrunner with Kennedy out of the contest. Of course, if Kennedy is added to the list, he immediately wins 30 per cent of the first-choice preferences, but a substantial 22 per cent now say they could not vote for him if nominated, compared to the 17 per cent who felt that way in June. mi.kmi itniiimim.

Shelbyville Striking employes of the Crest Container Corp. in Shelbyville have been urged to ignore a company order to return to work or face replacement by newly hired permanent employes. The recommendation was made by the leadership of the United Steel workers of America union, said Mrs. Re It is no overstatement to conclude that the Democratic race for president in 1976 looks more like a vacuum today than a contest. And the great irony is that as inflation appears to be heating up again and President Ford's rating drops, the Democrats would have to be given no worse than an even chance to win the White House next year.

FONDEROSA STEAK HOUSE The Macon School Board last week adopted two new board policies, one concerning requests from students for tuition to take courses outside the school district and the other on student confidentiality. Some students have requested the school board pay their tuition to take courses in other school districts, notably to take agriculture courses in Monticello One of the more famous pieces of art in Allerton Park is undergoing extensive renovation. The foundation on the reproduction of Bourdelle's "Dea" of the Last Centaur" has deteriorated and is being rebuilt, according to Park Director' Frank Turok. Not only is the sculpture itself being ienovated, but so is the landscaping around it, Turok said. This work includes sodding the ground around the Centaur and possibly planting hemlock trees to screen the area off, he said.

The union members voted down the company's first contract offer Aug. 15 and went on strike Aug. 17. The union represents about 220 hourly emDloyes. The company claims about 45 employes have been crossing picket lines to report for work on two shifts.

Mrs. Raetz disputes tha figure and said only 35 employes are reporting tr work. Contrary to a report from the company about the last negotiating session on Thursday. Mrs. Raetz said the unici, has altered its position en several key issues except the demand for a ur.icn shop and a company check-off for union dues.

The union presented coun'er proposals Thursday which accept the company's plan for employe insurance and pension plan. The union also has dropped its demand for a cost-of-living wage increase and has cut its wage increase demand to 25 cents an hour, she said. FOR POPULAR SIZE TIRES: FR78-14 end GR73-14 p'us Fedcrc!

After that is finished, Turok and Kathryn Beckhart, who orders and buys nursery stock for the park, will shop for the hemlocks. The trees should be planted within 30 days, Turok noted. The sculpture, which was purchased in 1929 by Robert Allerton, is located in the southwest part of the park. Maintenance Man Hired Donald Tankersley of Forsyth has been employed by the Forsyth Village Board tinder the Comprehensive Employment Training Act (CETA) program. Tankersley will do general maintenace work for the village.

Under the CETA program, persons who have been unemployed at least 30 days can be employed by a municipality and paid with federal funds. There is no cost to the village.
