JPs Are Now Better Educated
COLLEGE STATION, Tex
(AP) — The justices of the
peace of Tem-tnen who
sometimes hold vast power in
both civil and criminal mat- be held in the same cities in
teri-are getting better edu-
cated.
Justices of the peace do not
have a universally good image.
For one thing, they first meet
people in periods of stress when
their "customers" know some-
thing bad is going to happen-a
fine or perhaps jaU.
In an effort to improve the
performance of the Justices, 411

FORT RUCKER, Ala. (AP)
- Janice Linker la a dimin-
utive, brown-haired, 14-year-old I
who is making demands on her
parents,. She’s winningsomany
motorcycle trophies with her
100-cc bike that she needs more
space in the house to store
them,
* The problem started last May I
when Janice obtained her first
bike, and it increased after she
got her initial taste for racing
in an event last July. Since
then, she has acquired 13
trophies, five of them for first
place finishes, and one of them
is large enough to reach almost |
to her waist.
Her father, CWO Billy R.I
Linker, of Ozark, doesn’t mind
seeing the house fill with those |
tall, bronze awards, however.
He raced motorcycles hii
several years ago, and pit
ly serves as a flagman at the
Dothan track where his ninth-1
grade daughter races.
Her mother, Shelby Linker, I
also claims to be an ex-
perienced biker. “I rode Ja-
nice’s motorcycle one time in
our backyard,” she says, ‘‘ami |
that was enough for me.”
Mrs. Linker, perhaps mindful I
that Janice is their only child,
says that the races make her a
bit nervous, but she says she I

Confidence is one of Janice’s
attributes, too, although she ad-
mits that things become ‘‘rath-
er scary” a time or two in
races.
