2 The Index-Journal. Greenwood, S.C., Aug. 16,1982 City log Today Wheel covers valued at remember him." Being a Presley fan did not stop with his death. She still clips articles for her scrapbooks, the latest being the public opening of Graceland. She has shelves of numbered, collector decanters of porcelain and 24 karat gold lining the walls of the "Elvis room" in her home.

Posters cover the walls and Presley T-shirts are neatly folded on a table. Her scrap-books, some yellowed, sit on a card table in the middle of the room. Presley made some 33 films in his lifetime. Cox saw her favorite, "Jail-house Rock," 25 times. "You know why that one was my favorite? Because it had a sound story.

It wasn't just written just for Elvis to sing," Cox said. "It's the story of a 'poor boy makes good'. It just fit Elvis' style, a down-to-earth person." When Cox learned of Presley's death, she said she realized what his father had told her and her husband must have been true: he was ill. She said of his memory, "It was like losing a good friend. You don't love someone for 21 years without feeling a loss," or arcade just so he could enjoy them without being bothered," she explained.

Presley's marriage eventually failed. Cox said she believed Priscilla was unable to live "with an idol" like Presley whose fans came first and who "always met the demands of the public." A more successful relationship in Presley's life was with his mother Gladys. It was this relationship that many of the younger fans referred to in convincing their parents that Presley was a clean-cut, honest hero, Cox said. "Anyone who loved his mother as much as he did had to be good," she noted. Although Cox said she belived drugs did play a part in Presley's death, she quickly added that he never has been accused of buying off the street.

"He was very trusting. He was always led by someone, his mother, Colonel Parker, Dr. Nicho-poulos. People gave him things and he just took them," said Cox. "In the 70's when I saw him, he was slender and vibrant and beautiful.

He was picture perfect and that's the way I This ilay Good afternoon. Today is Monday, August 16, the 228th day of 1982. There are 137 days left in the year. The sun rose today at 6:50, will set at 8:15 and will rise Tuesday at 6:51. On this date in 1977, singer Elvis Presley died at his Memphis, home at the age of 42.

SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT The following information was taken from reports of the Greenwood County Sheriff's Department: A Highland Forest resident reported a prowler knocking on his window early this morning. No one was found at" the scene but footprints were found in the wet grass. The owner of a motor home parked on Windmill Circle reported Sunday that someone attempted to enter the vehicle. The prowler ran when he was discovered.

Vandals reportedly damaged a telephone at a service station on U.S, 221 Sunday. Damage was estimated at $35. Elvis (Continued from page 1) their return, she decided they should stop at Graceland and ask Presley to go motorcycling. "One of his cousins was at the gate. I wrote a message and sent it up to the house and a few minutes later his father (Vernon Pre-' sley) came down," she said, "He told us that Elvis was sick but was sure he would like to ride if he wasn't.

He said he started a tour the next week and they wanted him to be rested for that. And one week later to that minute, they brought Elvis through the gates in an ambulance." I Presley was not the fly-by-night playboy many people think he was. Cox believes. "He was the most loving, down-to-earth person there was. He always loved the plain people of the world.

He loved the basics. In fact, that's a good way to describe him, a good basic person," said Cox. As explained by Cox, Presley's life was the life of many people. Being teenagers, she remembered, it was almost like "death itself" going into the army and Presley was no exception to the armed forces. One of the 'biggest fears the young fan club members experienced.

Cox said, was that their parents would try to make them forget Presley while he was in service and out of the public eye. And although fan club members were privy to reports of Presley's infatuation with a much younger daughter of an army official. Cox said she was shocked when he and Priscilla were married with no previous announcement or publicity. "I think the general feeling among his fans was that they were glad he had found someone. It was lonely enough being a celebrity.

He had a very lonely life, renting an entire skating rink Forecast Anniversary VOLUNTEER FIRE DEPARTMENTS The following information was taken from reports of the Greenwood County volunteer fire departments: The Hodges-Cokesbury Fire Department responded to a grass fire on U.S. 178 shortly after noon Saturday.

Fans have conducted candlelight services outside Graceland every year since Presley's death, but today was the first time they were allowed onto the grounds. Sumner, who worked with Presley for 7V4 years, led the candlelight service.

Fans began gathering at Grace-land's wrought-iron gates hours before the service began shortly after 11 p.m. CDT Sunday.

FICAP, whose address is Box 951, High Point, N.C., 27261, is similar to AUTOCAP, but there is one important difference the recommendations of the group's advisory board are not binding on either customer or manufacturer. The program is sponsored by the Southern Furniture Manufacturers Association and the Southwest Furniture Fifty percent of them agreed that such an amendment. even if enacted, would not result in balanced budgets, while 32 percent said it would and 18 percent were not sure. But even among those who said the amendment would not balance the budget, 55 percent said they wanted it anyway. The amendment provides a procedure by which the House arid Senate could vote to run a deficit Politically, Republicans were more likely to want the amendment, but a majority of the Democrats polled said they wanted it, too.

A frequent criticism of the balanced-budget amendment is that it would mean higher taxes in order to wipe out deficits. But among those who said they favor the 63 percent said they would still favor it even if it meant taxes would have to be increased. Another major criticism of the amendment is that it would require drastic cuts in federal spending. Among all respondents, sentiment was divided over cutting spending for national defense and social programs to make a balanced-budget amendment work, but was solidly against limiting cost-of-living increases for Social Security. The nation's weather Other "CAP" panels include AUTO-CAP, which handles complaints about new car dealers; FICAP, which deals with' furniture problems involving manufacturing defects, quality or service; and MACAP, which investigates complaints about major appliances.

In all cases, you should first try to resolve your problem with the retailer or individual manufacturer involved. If that doesn't work, try the appropriate CAP organization. AUTOCAP, which is sponsored by the National Automobile' Dealers Association, 8400 Westpark Drive, McLean, 22102, tries to solve customer complaints by having one of its staff members contact the dealer involved. If the dispute is not settled within 10 days, the MACAP, sponsored by the Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers, the Gas Appliance Manufacturers Association and the National Retail Merchants Association, also provides only non-binding recommendations. Appliances covered included refrigerators, kitchen ranges, home laundry equipment, dehumidifiers, dishwashers, water heaters and room air conditioners.
