FROM 6 PM TO f I I ,V 11 PM 'is f ' s$xv- uia Frankie Van Cleave and two of her workers show off one of her garbage trucks. Best garbage in Atlanta She'll fetch it cheaper ATLANTA UPI) - The Atlan- ta housewife who bucked City Hall last year to start her own garbage pickup service has doubled her customer list to include the nations attorney general and two ambassadors. Frankie Van Cleave has been underselling the city on backyard service" ever since she and another affluent housewife got so fed up with the city's high garbage rates that they started their own business. Weve tried to make this thing fun. But Ive learned a lot about business, Mrs. Van Cleave said in the plush suburban office shared with her husband, Steven, a international security consultant she calls "my staunchest supporter. The ; president of the Back Yard Team Inc. has turned down several offers to buy her out. Instead, she has "expansion plans." "There are nearby counties that have no garbage service at all. There arc all sorts of possibilities such as franchising the system or acting as a consultant to city sanitation departments or private garbage companies," she said. Mrs. Van Cleave plowed last year's profits into paying off loans for her $6, (DO garbage truck and 1 ? i four-yea- r took out a lease for two more called "Big Momma and "the Cub." Back Yard Team served 270 private homes last yeai and now has 600 customers, 30 to 40 of whom signed up during the citys recent garbage strike. Mrs. Van Cleave expects to top out at ,000 customers next year. Mrs. Van Cleave charges $100 a year to drive into a customers driveway once a week and pick up the trash. The city charges $150, in addition to $44 tax bills which help pay for curb service. It has some 4,000 customers about backyard half of whom dont pay because of exemptions for the handicapped and elderly. Most Atlantans settle for the curb sendee, under which portable containers are emptied once a week by the city without the high fee for driveway service. Most of the Mrs. Van Cleaves customers the cream of the live in cream, she says fashionable West Paces Ferry Road area of northwest Atlanta. They include Attorney General Griffin Bell, Atlanta Newspapers board chairman Anne Cox Chambers, nominated by President Carter as ambassador to Belgium, and attorney Phillip Alston, named envoy to Australia. 1 r i Fast fall forecast i I k in postal service The head of the Postal (UPI) Service Commission calls Saturday mail deliveries an and says failure to approve recently extravagance, rapid and continued proposed cutbacks will mean decline of the U.S. Postal Serv ice. The commission's proposals included five days of mail delivery, higher postage, a bigger federal subsidy and development of electronic systems to move part of the mail. Gaylord Freeman testified in a Senate subcommittee Monday that no private enterprise would ever consider for one minute" running the system the way it operates WASHINGTON now. In questioning Postal Service management policies, Freeman said the panel was disappointed with the performance by the governing board. "For instance, the billion dollar bulk mail facility program appears to have been instituted with only cursory review by the governors and there were at least some knowledgable postal employes at high levels who he said. felt the decision was Parents don't look to kids for security Most WASHINGTON (AP) dont expect to gain parents benefits or security trom their children, a researcher says.

It costs a middle-incom- e Family $53,605 to raise a child to nge 18 a figure that rises to 564,215 if the expense of a education at a state university is included, according to Thomas J.

The pump has been implanted in 13 persons so far in Houston and Boston and, although all died eventually, major circulatory improvement was observed in three persons for six to eight days. No complications were attnbuted to the pump. The three persons helped by the pump died up to a week later of kidney failure or brain damage resulting from shock before the pump was implanted. Because of the pumps potential, the committee recommended to the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute in a draft report completed late Monday that the governments artificial heart program give top priority to further development of the device during the next five years. The pump now is only implanted as a last ditch attempt to save a patient w hen his heart fails to function normally after otherwise successful open heart surgery supported by a heart-lunmachine. The pump is seen as a temporary device to give the heart time to heal. It is clear that in such patients, who would otherwise uniformly die of circulatory failure, the benef.i, of this device far outweights the risk, said the Cardiology Advisory Committee. The panel suggested it might be time now to consider relaxing the patient selection criteria for the pump, called a left ventricle assist device, so it can be inserted into people who have a better chance of surviving with help to their heart. The current models are inserted in either the chest or abdomen, powered and controlled by tubing hooked to a bedside console. They are not expected to be used for more than a few days or weeks the time doctors believe failed hearts need to heal. The devices then would be removed. The goal, however, is to develop pumps that could assist a weakened heart permanently. Such devices would be a key step toward the eventual development of a lull artificial heart. Doctors say failure of the left entncle is the overwhelming cause of cardiac deaths. The heart is just too w to build up pressure to perfuse the body with oxygen rich blood. It has now been demonstrated that a profoundly failing left ventricle can regain significant degree of function over a period of a few days as a result of l.VAD assistance," the report said fist-size- 20 OFT EVERY ITEM IN OUR "LADIES' GALLERY" LADIES' CLOTHING. 20 OFF EVERY ITEM IN THE LADIES' TENNIS DEPARTMENT 20 OFF EVERY ITEM IN LADIES' GOLD AND BOWLING DEPARTMENT 20 OFF ALL LADIES' FOOTWEAR Mil SPECIAL PURCHASE "AJAY" LADIES' "ARDEE" BLOUSES GOLF CARTS Made to Sell for H 6:00 P.M. 6:30 P.M.

I hope you make a million but I doubt if (Mayor) Maynard (Fat Albert) Jackson shares my hopes," wrote an Atlanta woman. Mrs. Van Cleaves battle with city officials began in late 1375 after Jackson raised "backyard service fees, which she claimed discriminated against the affluent. Mrs. Van Cleave and her partner, who is now inactive in the business, were told they would not be issued a garbage collection permit. They threatened a court suit and got a 90 day permit. Later they fought for a one-yepermit. I dont have any more hassles with them, said Mrs. Van Cleave. The svelte mother of four is aiming to take all of the citys paid "backyard service business. She plans to be on the telphone with city customers this fall when one-yecity contracts are up for renewal. Mrs. Van Cleave said her two workmen can work circles around city workers with the route system she eagerly plots on a huge city map.
