There's nothing quite so disconcerting to me as to be walking nonchalantly along a downtown sidewalk and quite abruptly come face to face with a windowful of stark naked mannequins. I t has happened a time or two. I don't linger. I beat it on by. My first reaction, I suppose, after the initial shock, is to glance furtively around and see if anyone is watching my reaction. Like as not,. there's a earful of folks a t the curb who begin giggling and pointing. There may be a real live lady in the window, too, who grins a t my obvious embarrassment. Lots of times there's a decorat o r putting stylish clothing on the inert forms when I pass. T h a t isn't so bad. But when half a dozen of the dummies glare a t you with their nakedness—that's disconcerting. At least to me. Talking about mannequins brings to mind, quite abruptly, an incident t h a t happened way back in the good ole years when I was driving my first car and was courting one of my first girls. Though I don't know w h a t mannequins has to do with recalling it. As I remember we were coming westward along E a s t Main street just before a glorious latewinter sunset and were on our way to the drive-in theatre. I t was cold outside and the loose old Ford wasn't too well fortified against the sharp wind t h a t found all the vulnerable places. "Brr-rrrr," she said, "I'm cold." And she gave a little shiver t h a t made me want to kick myself for not having had the car heater fixed.

Of course, I began apologizing because the heater wasn't working. "I'll stop and see if I can get it hooked up," I offered: She looked a t me demurely and said: "Oh, you can just use your Armstrong heater." And I'll be stomped if I knew w h a t she meant! Ever since then, I have been mad a t myself for my thickheadedness, for my artlessness, for my inexperience, for my incompetency, for my failure to t a k e the situation in hand. To this day, I feel quite humiliated whenever I recall the instance. "Armstrong heater," I blurted ineptly, "what kind of heater is that?" As you can Imagine, she regarded me with surprise and bemusement. "Surely you know w h a t an Armstrong heater i s ? " But I didn't. Unbelievable as it m a y sound, I still didn't know w h a t she was driving at. She laughed and I slowly became aware she was laughing a t w h a t a simple, ingenuous chap I was. :,"' Anyway, we went on t o , t h e drive-in and — and suffice it to say, I got "wised up" on my heaters before the evening was over. And, I might add, I did have the presence of mind not to get my car heater fixed as long as I kept company with t h a t young lady. I still regard it as a classic example of unforgiveable naivete on my part, though. Monday evening, I had occasion to. meet with the members of

the Junior Optimist club for a short time while they were s engaged in their coat hanger collection. It was a heartening experience to see how aggressively t h e boys tackled a problem t h a t confronted them. On the previous Saturday, t h e public had been asked to call number 900 to make arrangemen Is to have excess coat hangers in their homes picked up by members of the club. Although two club members stayed on duly by the phone In two-hour shifts throughout the day, only four calls were received, which was r a t h e r discouraging. On Monday evening, when local citizens were again asked to call if they wanted their hangers picked up, only two or three calls were received. These calls would have kept t h e boys occupied only minutes and would have resulted in an altogether unsuccessful drive. But the boys were not content to let it go a t that. Robert L. Smith, energetic young president of the club, broke out the city directory. "I'll call every house on a street 'and remind them of the drive," he said determinedly.

Musings

While we're on the subject of food, the almost-three-year-old daughter a t our house was accepting a piece of cake from h e r mother a t lunch the other day when the cake slipped out of their hands and dropped into a bowl of

candied sweet potatoes with marshmellows on top. We laughed, but then the daughter looked concerned over the plight of. t h e cake. "The potatoes will just m a k e the cake sweeter," I offered by way of consolation. "Try it and see." She looked a t her mother for confirmation. "Yes," my wife said. "Sweet potatoes and marshmellows should make the cake t a s t e better." She looked a t the potato-tinted cake doubtfully but began nibbling a t it. In a few minutes, my wife took a piece of cake. The daughter looked a t her inquiringly. "Mother," she- said, "when are you going to drop your cake in the potatoes?" And, since we're on the subject of children, did you know t h a t this is National Boy's • Club Week (March 21-27)? . Aside from Boy Scout organizations, the only local boy's club t h a t I can think of right a t t h e moment is the Junior Optimist club of Albemarle. I had the privilege of meeting with t h e Junior Optimist boys on their organizational night and I never saw a finer group of young men nor a more praiseworthy example of young leadership demonstrated. More clubs along this line would be a definite asset to Stanly county.

That's what he did. He called i every home oh three blocks of Cannon avenue and tactfully reminded the folks t h a t tonight was "coat hanger" night and would they please donate any excess hangers t h a t had accumulated aroupd their homes? The response to this solicitation was gratifying and turned an otherwise failure into a profitable and worthwhile drive for the boys. That's what I call admirable j spirit and resourcefulness.

Picnic h a m s of the small packaged variety a r e something we've never had- a lot of around our house. We're always planning to buy one but just somehow never get around to it. So, I was r a t h e r surprised and quite amused the other day when my wife came home, dropped a bag of groceries on the kitchen cabinet, and literally blew a fuse. "That grocerman!" she exploded. "The very idea. -He's so ignorant it hurts or else he's being fantastically cute." My curiosity grew r a m p a n t but I wisely kept silent. " T h a t small picnic h a m I've been forgetting to buy," she said. "Well, I thought of it today. But they didn't have any. They had picnic shoulders galore. But no hams. I asked the meat man why they didn't have picnic hams the same size of t h e shoulders. And would you believe it? He stood there solemn as a stump and said 'oh, b u t there aren't any hams t h a t small'." I was beginning to see the light when she sputtered: "I should have asked him w h a t they did with t h e hams t h a t came on the same hog with the shoulders."

According to literature distributed by the national organization, there are around 400 Boy's clubs in the United States. Among other famous people who lend their support to fostering the clubs are former U. S. President Herbert Hoover, movie comedian, Bob Hope, and F B I director, J. Edgar Hoover. Also, I see by this pamphlet I'm looking at, that one of my favorite comic strip characters, L'il Abner of Dogpatch, is a Boy's club fan. Noah Webster didn't, but he might well have included this definition in his famed dictionary: "Boy: A bundle of energy characterized by an irresistable passion to take off in all directions a t once; primary instinct of boys is to hunt in a pack, either constructively or destructively." The Boys' clubs of America channel this healthy energy into constructive fields. Experts give friendly guidance in sports, crafts, in other sources of "fun with a purpose". In so doing, they teach one subject we all must l e a r n : good citizenship.

French Experiences Gave Badin Man Background For Clock Hobby By FRED T. MORGAN A lot of chateaux throughout the length and breadth of France had been ramsacked by the Germans before the young Anson county soldier got to see inside t h a n during and immediately after the fighting in World War I. But that was all right, for plundering and looting the homes was not his objective. Enough remained of the furnishings for him to get a picture of the way the people lived. One thing he saw in many of the homes in that war-torn land fascinated him. It was the old mellowed grandfather clocks. As the American forces moved from front to front, he was able to see many quaint country homes. Some of them had old clocks and to examine these clocks became the object of his quest. Some were indeed in sorry condition. Bullets, vandals, and the devestations of war had left them broken, splintered, and crushed. Still they struck a harmonious chord with this young man who was so far away from home. "Some day 111 build a clock like that," he said. Thus from his battlefield visits to these plundered French homes in the midst of heavy fighting in World War I, there was born that fascination for the big clocks that is still a motivating factor in the life of Ed F. Hinson of Badin. Alcoa Employee Today, Mr. Hinson, a respected and amicable citizen of Badin and employee of Carolina Aluminum company, enjoys his growing reputation in Stanly county and beyond as the man who makes the big grandfather clocks. And make them he does. He makes everything about the clocks except the running works which are obtained, through an importer, from Smiths Enfield of London, England. The cabinets for his clocks, a little taller than the average man, are strictly his own design and creation. He makes every piece of the cabinet, including the intricate scrolls, fretwork, and designs on top of. the clock. The

Robert Huneycutt, of Badin. His son, Eddie F. Hinson, Jr., of Albemarle, owns the second clock. Ted Furr, Albemarle realtor, bought the third clock. The last two are now gracing the Hinson home at 29 Maple street where they bring utterances of delight and high compliments from everyone who looks upon them. Uses Mahogany Black walnut was used in the first clocks but the latter ones are finished in -solid mahogany which gives them much better tone quality. All the clocks have Westiminister chimes which strike muted notes on each quarter hour and toll the hours. Amplified, the notes would sound like church chimes. The superb mahogany gives the chimes a deep resonance and carries the sound long after the last note is struck. A plate glass window, which Mrs. Hinson says just won't stay clean in spite of all her polishing, permits a full length view of the long pendulum and the three shiny brass weights which operate the chimes and running mechanism. Installing the mechanism as he receives it from the importer in New York, is no problem for Mr. Hinson. "Mechanical knack comes naturally," he says. As a kid, he did carpentry work around his farm birthplace in Anson county. In the army he was listed as skilled in auto mechanic work. At the Badin plant, he served for many years as a pattern maker, a trade requiring a high degree of skill in woodwork. He has also had considerable experience with metal and machines in his 31 years with the company. When he started out in the spare-time woodworking hobby several years ago, he had no suitable place to carry on his work. So he designed forms and made his own cement blocks and with the blocks constructed his own 20- by 44-foot shop in his backyard. At first, he made utility tables, large drop-leaf dining tables, fourposter beds, corner cupboards, picture and mirror frames, and the like. Then about two years ago, he decided it-was time to make a grandfather dock like he said he would do that day in France. He made one and liked it so well that he dropped his other items and devoted all his shop time to the production of the clocks. Shop Equipment His equipmeont has grown from "a plane, a jack-saw, and hammer in the early days to one of the best equipped small home shops you'll find today. Many of his special tools, In fact, all his lathe tools, he made himself. If he needed a special tool for a particular job and such a tool could not be bought, he made it. It took him a long time to make that first clock. He started out with drawings obtained from a magazine but revamped them to his own liking. "I like to get a mental picture first," he says. "Then I draw a rough sketch, cut out all the parts and assemble them." Sounds easy but don't go thinking you can turn out a clock like Mr. Hinsorfa without considerable experience. Mr. Hinson is a member of the Badin Baptist church, the American Legion, and the VFW. Bis wife is the former Ina Harris, also of Anson county. "A man my age needs some hobby to keep him occupied around the house, he saya, "and I get a bigger kick out of building these clocks than anything I've ever done.

SILO BUILDING DEMONSTRATION ON BROOKS FARM The 104-foot long, 14-foot wide, eight-foot deep, and 225-ton silage capacity horizontal trench silo above was constructed Wednesday on the farm of Spurgeon Brooks near Richfield while a crowd of approximately 75 dairymen and farmers from Stanly and other counties looked on during the day. First of its kind' in this area, the demonstration, designed to acquaint dairymen with the economy and advantages of this type of silo, was sponsored here by Southern Dairies, the North Carolina Tractor and Equipment Co., and the Extension Service. Work had just begun on pouring the four,'inch concrete floor MWien the above picture was snapped.—Staff Photo—Morgan.

Horizontal Silos Provide Cheap Forage Of Good Grade For Cattle A new, low-cost way of storing I silage for feeding cattle when green grazing is not available was demonstrated to Stanly county dairymen and farmers at the horizonal trench silo-building demewstration conducted last Wednesday at the farm of Spurgeon Brooks near Richfield. Earth-moving machinery went to work early in the morning and pushed out a 104-foot-long, eight-foot-deep, and 14-foot-wide trench in the ground near Mr. Brooks' barn. The trench will have a capacity of approximately 225 tons of silage. Concrete Floors A four-inch concrete floor was poured in the bottom of the I trench hut the aides were left natural as the tough texture of I the earth here will be sufficient! to hold their shape. The Walls are tapered from 14 feet in the bottom to 22 feet at the top. A concrete floor is necessary so that it can be used in all kinds of weather as a self-feeder, or fori the removal of the silage with a tractor fork. In this -case, the concrete floor extended 12 feet beyond the lower end of the trench to provide a paved approach for, feeding cattle. Mr. Brooks plans to feed around 25 cows here on a 24-hour-perday basis for about seven months out of the year. Not knowing that he would have a new trench silo for stor^ age space this year, Mr. Brooks will probably not have enough silage to fill the trench this season, but next year he will tea prepared to make use of his new silo. Sudan and other varieties of grass, lespedeza, and some corn forage will probably go into the silo next year. • Bulldozing time on the trench amounted to approximately 10 hours at a cost of $11 per hour. (Continued on Page Eight)

Silos (Continued from Page One) Also, a motor grader worked two hours, at $11 per hour, shaping the area around the trench. The total excavation and shaping costs for the trench were $132. The concrete floor, which is a must in all trench silos, was estimated to cost approximately $250. Thus'total cost of the construction was under $400. An inexpensive self-feeder skidded gate will be added to the lower end of the trench when it is filled with silage. Sawdust On Top When the silo is filled and packed with silage, a.12-inch lay- I er of sawdust is spread on top w i t h a two-foot crown • in the center so that drainage will | be along the sides. This protects the silage from the weather. Normally, a fence is built around the trench to keep cattle from trampling on top of the material. The size of the silo is determined on the basis of the tons of silage needed for the dairy herd when good pasture is not available. It is figured on an all-they-can-eat basis at six pounds of grass silage and one pound of hay per 100 pounds of I liveweight. Well packed grasslegume silage in a horizontal resentative for Southern Dairies, silo eight to 10 feet deep weighs was present for the demonstraapproximately 40 pounds per cution and provided free half-pint cartons of Sealtest milk to all bic foot.

A Time There Was A Reunion...

COOKS AND EATS IN CABARRUS — SLEEPS IN STANLY That's what tradition says is true of the John Miles Jordan family which lives in the old home above. The house, located about a mile south of highway 49 west of Richfield, is said to be perched squarely over the Cabarrus-Stanly county line. The two-story part to the'right is said to be in Stanly county while the one-story part that houses the back porch, kitchen, and dining room, is said to lie in Cabarrus county. The original structure, the two-room, one-story part at left, was built approximately 85 years ago by the late Phillip Miller of Stanly-county. About 20 years later, the two-story addition was built by Ed Hall. The Jordan family has lived here for the past 29 years. Folks say that surveys made of the county line through this section many years ago pinpoint the county line as running right through the house. Mr. Jordan likes to teU folks that ne can «tay right inside his home and still travel in two different counties. .. ;..-"• — Staff Photo — Morgan.

Chief Cole said in t h e last iss u e of t h e News a n d Press t h a t t h e signs were placed t h e r e to promote safety. I challenge h i m on t h a t score. T h e signs a r e a definite deterr e n t to safety. They mock safety.

The stop signs here a r e totally w i t h o u t justification. They viol a t e a n d directly oppose every accepted traffic safety s t a n d a r d d e a l i n g w i t h stop signs. Using a stop sign merely a s a device to control speeding is u n ethical. It is a b o u t a s u n e t h i c a l a practice a s there is to d e a l w i t h t h e r e a l m of traffic safety. It just doesn't m a k e sense. No traffic engineer in t h e country, no safety expert, or no traffic-wise person a n y w h e r e would sanction t h e u s e of these s i g n s in their present location. No survey w a s m a d e of t h e intersection here. No local highw a y officials were consulted prior t o t h e erection of t h e signs. There w a s very little investigation m a d e a s t o t h e a c t u a l need a n d advisability of placing these stop signs here. If a p p e a r s t h a t t h e r e were comp l a i n t s a b o u t speeding on Wiscassett street.

v^ STACKING POSTS AT THE WOOD PRESERVING PLANT Some of the posts above have been given the osmose treatment and are finished and ready for service. While the posts are curing in the stacks they are covered with thick tar paper to seal out moisture. The four men who will operate the plant are shown above. The three Barringer boys, Wayne, Lloyd, and Ray (in white shirts) and Glenn Brank, at extreme right, make up the plant personnel at the present time. —Staff Photo.

Wood Preserving Plant Is Newest Industry Operating In The County The newest and what may be- f come one of the most important small industries in Stanly county is the Albemarle Wood Preserving Plant which has been in part time operation hare for the past 30 days. Location of the new plant Is about two miles northwest of Albemarle on a county road leading north off the hard-surfaced road connecting highwjfy 52 with the Old Salisbury road by the Carnation plant. Local men are operating the new plant. The present personnel includes: Glenn Brank, director; Lloyd Barringer, sales manager; and Wayne and Ray Barringer who will be In charge of production. As the name implies, the .firm will do wood preserving, specializing for the time being in posts which are adaptable for many and varied uses around the farm and home. Later, if there Is a demand for this service, the plant will expand to handle all types Of foundation and structural timbers for building purposes. Originated In Germany The preservation method used at this plant is the "Osmose" process which originated in Germany and has been used commercially in this country since 1933. It is covered by a group of patents in all major countries. Following is a description of the Osmose process: The process makes use of the natural chemical pressure of osmosis (defined as the diffusion of a chemical substance through a separating semi-permeable membrane from a more concentrated to a less concentrated medium), rather than forced mechanical pressure, to impregnate wood with a toxic mixture of preservative salts called "Oemosalts". The mixture contains sodium fluoride, dinitrophenol, potassium bichromate, and sodium arsenate. Application Js made in one case as a suspension in water, and in other cases as a water solution. Conditions for osmosis are attained by applying osmosalts a s ! the concentrated chemical medium to the outer portions of the wood. The separating membrane in this case is the cellulose of the wood structure, and the dilute medium is the moisture (sap or artificially-added moisture ( in the interior of the wood. In treating freshly-cut green wood by the osmose process the (debarked or sawed timber) is instantaneously imersed in a water-suspension of osmosalts, and is then dead piled under air(Continued on Page 8-A)

PART OF THE MACHINERY AT WOOD PRESERVING PLANT Wayne and Ray Barringer, above-, are at work at the de-barking machine which strips the bark from poles. When the bark is off, the poles are dipped in the osmose vat, the.end of which can be seen at extreme right, and stacked to season. Pbles may also be sawed Into proper post* lengths with the saw at left. The osmose treatment has many advantages and tests prove such posts to last up to five times longer than non-treated posts. —Staff Photo. • • - • ^ «f > —

Wood Preserving (Continued from Page One) tight cover for four weeks or more. During this period the salts diffuse from the concentrated surface coating into the wood to a degree sufficient to allow the timber to be placed in service.' This treating method is called the osmose "normal process". Unique Features The unique features of the Osmose process are revealed first in the remarkably quick and thorough penetration of the Mr mosalts ingredients by osmotic pressure, second in the permanent separation of dinitrophenol from sodium fluoride after the original mixture has diffused Into the wood, and third in the process is "chormation", or formation of the almost Insoluble cryolite-like mineral by combination of chromates and the fluoride.

The separation of dinitrophenol and sodium fluoride in the wood can take place effectively only when the fluoridephenol mixtures are applied in concentrated form to moist wood—a fundamental feature of the osmose process. Water-soluble salts, when applied independently, are subject to leaching out. This is overcome in the osmose process by the use of suitable I combinations of soluble inor-j ganic salts, applied by osmosis. Each component of "Osmo-I salts" is in itself a toxic wood! preservative. Thus the process combines thoroughly proved, effective preservative agents with | I a novel means of application. By actual service tests, osmose 1 treated posts resist all rot, de! cay, and termites, and will last j l| up to five times longer.1 By a special treating process, I these new "wonder posts" are I thoroughly impregnated* with J highly toxic salts that make I every fibre of the food very unj palatable to wood destroying in| sects and fungi. With their food ' supply cut off, the termites eithI er die or look for more fertile j territory. Osmose treated posts come out ] as a finished product in a pleasi ing shade of green and require 1 no painting. The color will not wear off due to the fact it is right in the wood. If painting is desired, the treatment color acts as the base coat. Fire Retardant These treated posts are also j fire retardant. While not com| pletely fire proof, the "slow-toburn" feature can be important around farms and buildings. They are clean to handle, cause no offensive odor or eyeirritating fumes. At the present time, the Albemarle Wood Preserving Plant la offering the following services to the public: The plant will have for sale treated six, seven, and eight foot posts of all inch classes. Later, plans call for handling longer j and larger -posts and timbers. Customers can bring their owngreen posts and the plant will ' process them as a regular cusjtorn service. Also, the plant will swap posts, j The customer can bring rough posts and swap them for completed treated posts. In the fall, the plant will be in position to buy quantities of small posts from local farmers. Only pine timber is wanted for posts. The plant will carry creosote posts for outright sale and it will -accept dry seasoned posts to ca'rry out for pressure-creosoting. The Director Glenn Brank, director of the local plant, is a graduate forester and a representative of the Osmose company. He makes thorough periodic inspection of Osmose plants in North and South Carolina and during the last four years he has been instrumental in establishing plants similar to the one at Albemarle, Statesville, Henderson, Rose Hill, Woodland, and Williamston. Mr. Brank wishes to express bis appreciation to Cull Barringer and to Vernon A. Huneycutt, county agents, for their efI forts in behalf of locating the plant here. Commenting upon the new. plant Mr. Huneycutt said: "It is a welcome addition to the county and offers a service to the farmers that we have been needing for a long time. We have an abundance of small pine timber here that can be utilized for this purpose. I feel sure that our rural people will be benefitted by the services of this new firm." Farmers and interested people are invited to visit the new plant and investigate its service! more faUjr>

tains many, miles of nature trails j along the .green vaies and wooded mountainsides. Nature Trails Over four miles of new trails have been cut. Names of the trails, all a hiker's delight in scenic and nature attractions, are Waterfall, .Twin Oaks, Moss Trail, and Summit Trail. Two older trails have been re-cut. All are at least four feet in width and offer secure footing. Many signs have been erected and others are on the assembly line. They describe the trail and the natural phenomena to be encountered. The most popular of the trails have been marked with colored markers so that unguided hikers may use them without fear of becoming lost. Next improvement for the trails, and one that is hoped to be completed this season, is the building of "Sit-outs" at intervals along the trail where hikers may pause to 'rest while the guide answers questions and discusses points of interest. So far this season, the trails have seen extensive use. Boy Scouts, school and church groups, families, and others have been delighted with the exciting I new life opened up by the trails. Nature -hikes may be scheduled on any day except Sunday, by contacting Park Supt. Thomas "Red" Ellis.- Sundays, Mr. Poplin spends on duty at the museum answering questions about snakes, bugs, and birds. A veritible storehouse of plant and animal life, past and present, awaits the visitors to the gray slate museum building, located near the park lodge. Wild animals in natural settings, snakes and Insects — some preserved and some alive, fragile little flowers, wildlife paintings, j and displays of various other inhabitants of the zoological and i botanical kingdom are there. Big showcases hold collections of stones and minerals. There is an excellent collection of Indian artifacts loaned the park by C. M. Haithcock of Badin. Work is underway on a aquarium, terrarium. and vivarlus. Already, the building is filled. | There isn't room for much else. Favorable Comments Recent complimentary visitors to the park were W. W. Mclntyre, assistant superintendent of State Parks, and his aide, Billy Webster. They made many favorable comments and had high Ipraise for the nature work being conducted here. Nature photography is another of the phase of the interpretative program promoted in the park. Scores of colored slides of wildlife, flowers, and scenic | areas have been made by Dave Taylor, of Albemarle, representative of the N. C. Wildlife department, and they are available for] showing to groups and used for the' after-dark entertainment of I occupants of the park's vacation cabins. Small nature display cases are available for the public's inspection at the park lodge and swimming pool. Still another function of the nature department is the labeling of trees and plants of significance around the museum area. ' Picture windows, cut through the undergrowth on top of Morrow Mountain, are labeled in the park's rustic sign" pattern .with a resume of physical features to be seen from the look-1 out. Much of this expansion in the park's nature program has been through the efforts of Mr. Poplin who is now in his second season as naturalist for the park. In the fall and winter, Mr. Poplin is superintendent of the city schools of Cheraw, S. C. A pleasant, perspicacuous young man, he conducts the hikes, is curator of the museum, aids in the trail cutting and construction work, as well as collects live snakes .and other. specimens, and writes a weekly nature column for the Stanly News and Press. He has succeeded in obtaining a microscope and has begun a small library for the park museum. One of the mater needs of the museum- at this time is for electricity in the building. Lights are badly needed to illuminate the gloom of the building when one walks in from the bright sunlight. Better displays could be effected on some of the exhibits with the help of special lights also.

"SEVEN-UP" CALF ON SMITH FARM About seven weeks ago, the Guernsey calf above was born on the I. T. Smith farm about two miles southwest of Lambert. It was the seventh animal in the Smith herd and was born on the seventh month and entered the world branded with a neat figure seven on its forehead. The Smith children were all delighted. Maurine, center, aged 10, hit upon the name. "We'll call him 'Seven-Up'," she exclaimed one day. Her two brothers, Larry, left, age nine, and Gareth, 13, agreed. Maurine* is wondering if the calf will live up to' her expectations and give the carbonated .brand of 7-up when it comes into production. —Staff Photo.

Beware Of Big Mouth-He Wreaks Destruction On Those Opposing Him By FRED T. MORGAN Two of the moat interesting characters I've heard of in many a moon are a couple of bizarre personalities called Big Mouth and Little Henry. These two rouges have created much disquiet around the Piedmont Carolina (elsewhere too, for that matter) by their masterfully sly shenanigans, caustic witticisms, profligate vandalism, and their downright rascality. You've seen signs of their presence, though you may not have recognized it. Bet you will next time. They're so doggone mean that . . . but a word of background first.

He was getting too old to go off that far from home on calls, he told them. He explained the way he got started. They said they knew of a young boy who had never seen his father and said they'd try to get him at it. "He must be doing it, for I've never had a call from over in that j section since," he laughs. In this modern age, his practice may have slowed down some but it has by no means stopped. People still come bringing their babies and young children with sore mouths. - He "uses" for them and. the parents are* quite satisfied with the results. Mothers for whom he "used" I when they were babies now bring | their babies to him. "I tell folks I'm starting on the fourth gen| eration," he says. Little Competition He has little competition.

John's father was Tom Hiineycutt, a Civil War veteran, who died a short while before John j was born. "What'll we do when you're gone?," folks have asked him. John just smiles.

Mr. Lentz said okay and the man left with 30 saddles, saying he could still make money on them even though he had bought them at the shop's retail price, Mr. Lentz comes from a long line of leather workers. His great grandfather, John Lentz, who lived two miles north of the present shop, made horse collars and leather goods. His grandfather, Peter Lentz, followed the same line of work. His father, Victor Columbus Lentz, widely known In Stanly and elsewhere as a singing teacher, also made horse collars and harness. First Harness When he was around 12 years of age, Mr. Lentz made his first set of harness. It was an old surry hack. Then he made a set of wagon harness. After that, a neighbor, Wilson Huneycutt, wanted the boy to make him a set and he,did. That was his first commercial work. Soon thereafter, he went to work irr j the old Redwine shop, about two miles east of the present Lentz shop, under Ed Smith, shop foreman, who taught him a lot about leather. In 1900, he- was married and in April of 1901, he opened a! I harness shop in the old dwelling on his farm using it for his business until he erected his present building in 1914. A wizened, medium-built man with a mop of curly white hair on his head, Mr. Lentz still | "piddles" about in his shop and turns in a day's work with the other men. He has no idea how many sets of harness he's made, j I how many collars he's laced, or[ how many rivets he's punched through two pieces -of leather. Few tricks in the leather trade have escaped him. He can distinguish between shipments of leather from four I different tanneries by odor without looking at the tag. It's all | good leather," he says, "but each tannery leaves a distinct odor and finish to its product." Upstairs in his building stands a lifelike white horse,' rigged up with bridle and harness. The I old horse once graced the streets of Salisbury many years ago. It is used now to display gear manufactured in the shop and to show off as a relic to visitors. But there are enough other operations in the shop to satisfy an interested visitor. All the many processes of constructing a bridle, collar, or saddle are fascinating to watch. A plain inanimate old cowhide becomes exquisite when transformed into a graceful saddle under the agile I hands of the shop craftsmen. Though he's weathered the economic storm in the leather business for more than half a | century, Mr. Lentz isnt too optimistic about its future "It's not much for a young man to tie to," he says.

The theory is that mosquitoes lay their eggs on the surface of the many stagnant pools along the river and since there are no fish or other -wildlife in the stream (the river has been unfit for fish for years) to eat the mosquito eggs and thereby control the population, the mosquitoes are breeding in complete freedom and in unprecedented numbers.

He died a short I time later and was buried in the Prospect church cemetery along with his wife and some of their children. Mrs. Moose was married at the age of 18 to George Dawson Moose, who worked for a company as a millwright, installing mill machinery. She traveled with her husband over North Carolina and other states in his work. Usually he remained at one job from four to eight weeks, then moved on to the next. She remembers they moved and set up housekeeping anew some 31 different times. They always kept a home of their own to come back to, however. Only two children, both girls, were born to them. Both died of Typhoid fever as children. However, like her father before her, Mrs. Moose took foster children to rear. When her brother's wife died, leaving a baby girl only a few days old, she took it. The little girl was named Mattie Princess. She is now Mrs. Ira Hatley and still lives with her foster mother in Albemarle. Mrs. Moose also reared a foster son, Richard Moose, whom she took into her home at the age of four. At one time, Mrs. Moose had the reputation of being one of the best cooks in Stanly county. She lived for a number of years

Some of the farmers he worked Tom has some strong political for during this period were John Underwood, Fannie Howell, widow of Kearn Howell. Tom Laton, Whit Marks, A. J. Russell, and Sid Smith. In 1891, the year he married, he said he was only, being paid around $9 per monthX He was married to the former Rosa Morton, daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Morton. She was 17 at the time, he 22. Her parents objected to the union and her father had forbidden the regist e r of deeds office in Albemarle to issue a marriage license to Tom. Through a friend in Mt. Gilead, Tom sent the necessary information by mail to Troy, the county seat of Montgomery county, and secured the marriage license from that county. , "Cost me three dollars," Tom remembers with a chuckle. "I don't know what they cost now." Since the license was issued in Montgomery county, the marriage ceremony had to be performed in t h a t county, too, Tom said. And so it was performed _ within the statuatory boundaries of Montgomery county — but not on dry land. On t h e day of the marriage, June 14. 1891, Tom got his brideto-be and took her down to the old Swift Island, ferry where the minister, Alec Whitlock, and a crowd of other folks were waiting. Everyone boarded the flat and it started across the Pee Dee river. Married On Ferry "A little over half-way across, Mr. Whitlock told the ferryman t h a t we were in Montgomery county and asked him to stop the flat," Tom said. "So the flat stopped t h e r e less than two-thirds of t h e way across the river and we were married right there on t h e flat." To this union were born 11 children as follows,: Mrs. Ben Hall, Virgil Clarence Shepherd, Mrs* F r e d Hall, William Edmond Shepherd, Mrs. Louis Joiner, Mrs. Reid Harris, Mrs. Homer Still, Mrs. Jack Covington, Van Buren Shepherd, J. Tommy Shepherd, and Alexander Shepherd. Tom says he has probably 35-40 grandchildren and several great grandchildren. F o r the first few years after his marriage, Tom continued working on the farms of other people. Then, he borrowed money from his I old friend and former employer, Tom Laton of Albemarle, and purchased the farm t h a t he now owns I about a mile north of the Swift Island road on route 1, Albemarle. Mr. Laton, Tom said, once tried to persuade him to go to college along with his son, now Dr. J. F . Laton of Albemarle. Tom refused to go even though Mr. Laton offered to aid him, financially. "That's where I missed it." Tom said, " I should have taken that opportunity. But I was afraid then t h a t I could never repay Mr. Laton." He cut timber on his farm and built the frame house in which he presently lives, about 42 years ago.! Active in farming all his life, he only recently stopped going to the fields for his day's work. A son now lives with him and operates t h e farm. His wife died in June, 1948. Tom remembers when farmers used oxen to pull the plow in this p a r t of t h e country. "I've seen a lot of changes," he said, "not only in farming but in j everything." First Auto H e remembers the first automobile h e ever saw and the first bicycle.

of all sorts. It didnt take much of an excuse to get us out." Sunday Concerts Many local people recall the Sunday afternoon community concerts held at the Wiscassett playground pavilion. Hundreds) of people gathered at 4 p. m. on Sunday afternoons to enjoy the band music. It was a regular event during the summer. "The members of the band loved to play," Mr. Efird recalls. "I've seen them gather to practice on Saturday and practice all day, all night, and all day Sunday. We lived and breathed music during those sessions." He remembers the Sunday in 1931, when he and all the band, numbering some 35, motored to the home of Professor Sid in Mt. Pleasant and honored him with a two-hour concert of popular and classical music. The professor, the old master of the band, congratulated his former students upon their performance, one of the finest he said he had ever heard. A list of the personnel of the band, at one time, follows: clarinets—Carl Efird, Cardell Arey, Sam Poplin, Harold Lefler; cornets—Printis Mauldin, May Davis, Lawson Lowder, Henry Doby, Dock Saunders, Fred Cox, Will Doby; altos—Rufus Lefler, She! ton Smith, Marshall Smith, Glenn Hinson; trombones — Pierce Harwood, Clifford Lowder, Paul Talbert, Shelton Talbert, Alma Doby, James Swanner; BANDMASTER CARL EFIRD HE STILL INSTRUCTS baritones—Robert Sanders, CharCarl Efird, leader and life of the famous old Albemarle brass band, here polishes up the lie Norton, Boyd Hatley; basses clarinet performance of Eddie Lefler and Neil Efird, seventh grade band students at Central —Milas Eudy, Raymond Sells, school.

Then he'd rush home for a hite to eat and on to the band quarters where he practiced until midnight. Despite the rough schedule, he loved it and j proved an apt student. The professor started him as j well as two brothers, Donald and Jl Curtis Watson, on clarinets and [ they became the first players in 1 the reed section of the Albemarle I I hand. He got into the band gradually, I after some two years of practicing. The band, first known as the Efird band, was named for ' the late J. S: Efird of Stanly I county. It was taught at one time by the late Bud Harris of | I Big Lick. Under Professor Sid, • however, the band prospered as I never before and soon reached [the strength of 25 pieces. Played At Many Occasions ' The band played for school commencements, family reunions, public concerts, parades, and just about any other event at which a band was wanted. One annual engagement was playing for the commencement exercises at the big school in Unionville, in Union county. "We traveled by horse conveyance back then," Mr. Efird recalls. "We'd leave Albemarle soon after midnight on the day of the commencement and arrive at the school around 9 o'clock and get set up and squared away before the exercises began." During one such exercise at Unionville, Mr. Efird fell asleep. The band had already played several numbers and a longwinded speaker had taken the podium. Mr. Efird sat on one end of the band semi-circle at the edge of the raised platform built for the band. He says he had no idea he would fall asleep but the next thing he knew he found himself sprawled on the grass out in front of the platform. He didn't crack a smile, but just picked up his cap and instrument and re-claimed his seat on the platform while the crowd let go with a good-natured Jhuckle. Afterward, members of he band ribbed him about it Ipnsiderably. Another annual date of the nd was playing for the Carrus County Fair at Concord. ley played there for 10 con;utive years. thatlday, Mr. Efird said, the d was without a sponsor and

after a winter of hit-or-miss practice and infrequent public playing, the 45-piece AHS band, under Mr. Efird's direction, entered the high school band festival competition at Troy and came out with the first place award. The recognition was a source of pride to all of them. Today at his home on Montgomery avenue, Mr. Efird still > has a few youngsters most every afternoon to teach the rudiments of band music. Many of them are students, or future students, of Mr. Hatley's. He enjcys teaching them very much and it pleases him to see them making progress. Youngsters Impatient One thing he's noticed about these youngsters is that most of them are impatient. "They want to be musicians," he says, "but they want to be a musician now — without spending years in preparation. I try to emphasize that there are no short-cuts to the top in any endeavor. Every such task takes a lot of work and practice." Mr. and Mrs. Efird have three sons, all of whom are musicminded. C. B. Efird, Jr., a career man with the U. S. Army, now serving In Japan, is an expert violinist and sings tenor. Ed Efird, the second son, also sings tenor and plays the saxophone. He holds a position with the Duke Power company in Charlotte. Sidney Efird, the youngest son, doesn't excel as a vocalist, but he can play a piano along with the best. A former student of Miss Annyce Worsham, he also writes musical compositions. He holds a position with the Knitting Department of Wiscassett Mills. Lately, Mr. Efird has not been as active as he was up until a few months ago. The doctor has ordered him to a life of more or less relaxation around the home and no excitement. His sessions with his few students in the afternoons are the most enjoyable events of his life now. At the age of 61, he still has a sharp ear that will pick out a wrong note, if such occurs, in any piece of music to which he is listening. In his half a century of band work, considering all the ups and downs of the business, Mr. Efird says he doesn't regret not one moment of his time spent in that pursuit.

STANLY NEWS AND PRESS, ALBEMARLE, N. C, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 23, 1954

New London Residents Proud Of New Street, Other Improvements New London citizens are proud of the new widened main street through their town. They have a collective pat on the back for the local State Highway Commission forces which recently completed the widening, surfacing, curbing, and lining of a half-mile stretch of U. S. 52 through the village proper. The roadway width through the town is now approximately 44 feet from curb to curb. Before the improvement, the road was only 20 feet in width. Finished in smooth blacktop asphalt material, the road has been divided by fresh traffic lines which facilitate the movement of traffic. There is a comfortable parking strip on each side throughout the length of the improvement with the through traffic lanes in the center. Sidewalks, Too The street is flanked by approximately 2,060 feet of eement

sidewalks, and along the remainder of the street, the sidewalks have been graded and graveled. Plans are to complete the construction of the sidewalks next year. Half of the cost of the sidewalks was borne by the town; half by the property owner. In some cases, property owners have built retaining walls along their property adjacent to the walks. Many other citizens have attractively landscaped their property to harmonize with the new street and walk. Aside from the new street, the appearance of the town has been enhanced in other realms. Most noticable are the improvements that have taken place in the New London cemetery. The cemetery area has been thoroughly cleaned up and the monuments straightened. Roads to the cemetery have been graveled and improved. The active New London Lions club contributed $140 to the cemetery project. Until recently, the ceme

Telephone Building The New London dial telephone exchange building is completed and work is progressing on the installation of the new equipment that will mean a tremendous improvement to telephone service for citizens within a several mile radius of the town. The tentative change-over date from the old to the new system has been set for mid-January. Citizens are now using the new trash-disposal location and facilities arranged by the town. All streets inside the town limits of New London are paved and they have recently been re-surfaced. As for the New London school, contracts have been let and work had begun for considerable enlargements and additions, including, seven classrooms, an agricultural building, a cafeteria, and a new water tank. The town has two churches, an energetic Lions club, a growing POS of A, woman's Home Demonstration club, P.T.A., Boy Scout troop, Cub Scout troop, and VFW post. Mayor Charlie B. Casper, who has given untiringly of his time and means in the interest of civic and municipal prosperity, takes a measure of pride, as do the other citizens, in the improvements made and in the uplift in morale and the sharpened civic interest noted among the townspeople. Several new homes have been built in the town in the past few years and the newest business addition to the town's business

While in t h a t business, he invented and manufactured a simple machine for testing the strength of fabrics to meet Army and Navy specifications and sold a number of them. / George enjoys reviewing his father, Samuel's, colorful role in the Civil War. His father, who was born in Philadelphia, P a . and went west with the forty-niners in the gold rush, was commander of one of t h e first submarines in the history of t h e U. S. Navy. Samuel was instrumental in designing and building the U.S.S. Alligator a t its birthplace on the James river in Virginia in the early years of t h e war. When the craft was completed, Samuel by virtue of his knowledge of the boat, was, on March 24, 1863, ordered to report to Commodore Harwood for duty as "Acting Master of the Submarine boat, Alligator." T h e order was signed by Gideon Welles, Secr e t a r y of the Navy. Two months advance pay was authorized for Samuel in t h e amount of $250. First Mission The Alligator's first mission was a 90-mile j a u n t up the James river to destroy the . Petersburg bridge. However, on t h e way, something happened to t h e crude craft which was propelled by manpower, or to the optimism of its crew, and t h e mission was abandoned and the submarine returned to its starting point.

Next, t h e Alligator was ordered on a mission to the harbor a t Charleston, S. C , probably to direct its firepower a t Confederate ships. This time, to save manpower, t h e sub was towed behind the U.S.S. Sumpter. The authenticated report goes t h a t t h e Sumpter ran into a heavy gale off the North Carolina coast near Cape H a t t e r a s and one of t h e hawsers connecting the Alligator parted under the strain, making it impossible for the Sumpter to continue towing with any ease. Besides there was the safety factor to consider. The officers of the Sumpter, Samuel Eakins included, hurriedly concurred in issuing an order to cut the remaining hawser, t h u s setting the unmanned sub adrift on the rough sea. "And evidently t h a t was the last ever seen or heard of the old Alligator," George says. •George has in his New London home, original documents signed by the Secretary of t h e Navy which both commissioned his fathe r in the Navy and separated him from the service. He also has a copy of the original report of the cutting loose of the Alligator off the Carolina coast. Met His Cousin At one time in his varied career, George m e t his famous cousin, Thomas Eakins, the painter. That w a s in Philadelphia about 1905. Thomas was born in Philadelphia in 1844, lived there most of his life, and died there in 1916. George described him as a big, affable m a n who liked to laugh. At the time George visited him, he was working on a portrait of Cardinal Martnelli. "He had the face and hands completed," George remembers, "and w a s working on t h e vestments. The cardinal was not present." T h a t 'was the only time George ever saw his renown cousin. Thomas, who was scarcely recognized until after his death, was really "discovered" by a r t connisseurs in t h e . early 1930's and honored by exhibits of his works in t h e Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts and a t t h e Metropolitan in New York City. At t h a t time, some of his bigger paintings were valued a t $75,000. H e w a s t h e first American to have a painttog hung in t h e Louvre in Paris. A brother living at Salisbury was largely responsible for George settling down a t New London. The brother told him about the gold mining history of the little town and George became interested. Several years ago he came down and looked the place over, picking out a t r a c t t h a t he liked. Then he went back to his New Jersey home to think over t h e proposition. In 1950, he sold some of his business interests ' up North and bought t h e l a n d a t New London and subsequently built his home, moved in. His daughter, Mrs. Havens, and her family live in a house close by. Mr. and Mrs. Eakins have two daughters in addition to Mrs. Havens. They are Mrs. William T a r m a r a t o of West Orange, N.

Out-Saw Three Boys Put Together At 79

Activity Formula For Spry Stanly Farmer By FRED T. MORGAN ALBEMARLE — What's the secret of living alone in the woods and liking it? Activity. Simple activity. So says Joshua G. Treece, 78, who lives alone Mi his big farm just north of Stanfield in Stanly County. His formula is to pitch in and do something. . .and keep on doing it. . .and don't run out of things to do. He does like it, really and truly, and, what's .more, he has around 20 years of such successful and enjoyable living to prove it Despite the fact' that he will be [79 on April 3, he is none the 1 worse for the wear and tear of his frugal existence. And this activity? It's not a monotonous, work-a-day sort of laborious existence. His is a refreshing and sustaining work — the kind that doesn't give the hard lean muscles of a man of his age a chance to soften up and let deterioration set in. His work leaves him happily tired at the day's end and ready for a hearty meal and healthy sleep. He credits his longevity and good health directly to his regular activity. "If I had' started sitting down and just sitting there in my old age, I Wouldn't be alive today," he said. It's surprising the things constructive activity will accom-

plish. The most important benefit, however, is that it keeps Josh "in shape." PAINSTAKING Take clearing a spot of new ground, for instance. Josh does it with painstaking fidelity. He fells the trees, saws them up into firewood lengths, splits the blocks, and carefully clears up all the brush, piles it and burns it. But he doesn't need the wood. Nor does he need the extra land he's clearing. "I do it just for the exercise," he says. That's characteristic of Josh. He's had his shoulder hard to the wheel since the day be was able to stretch up his young arms and reach the handles of a plow stock. "I've worked harder than a slave all my life," he said. He's against the modern way of doing all tiae fanning from a tractor seat. "All the young farmers of today want to do is park themselves on a tractor seat and do everything from there. They would do better to get off their tractors and do some leg work." He thinks the modern youngsters may have more between the 'ears — but a lot less in Hbe biceps. "I'll take a cross-cut saw and go into the woods and cu* wood with three 15-year-old boys and I'll still be going when they're fagged our." 6-CENT COTTON He began farming for himself back about the turn of the century on his father's 116 acres when cotton was six and seven cents per pound and other produce you couldn't give away. Typhoid fever hit him a wholloping blow back then, too, and he had to contend with the fever, tow prices, poor land) no help, and other obstacles that would have beaten a lesser man. Now, he has about quit tilling the soil except for small patches.

MR. TREECE Another thing he's d e a d against is cultivating crops with a tractor. "I can ride along the road between here and Monroe, or here and Albemarle, and pick o u t every field of corn that was cultivated with a mule. A mule or a horse just does better work and | is better on the crop." Around Josh's home which is west of highway 200 between Locust and Stanfield, the visitor will see many heirlooms of a bygone era. There are several aged farm buildings, cribs, graineries, smokehouses, shops, c h i c k e n coops, bee hives, well shelters, etc., as well as the rambling old unpainted house in which Josh does his 'own cooking, but "not much housekeeping." 1914 FORD One weathered shed reveals a musty and dusty 1914 model T Ford surrounded by a pile of accessories and other junk. The antique has been sitting silently hi the shed for the past 20 years and termites have riddled its upholstery and dust and corro-

sion have dulled the shine of its proud copper radiator and other metal parts. Josh bought it on the first Saturday in May, 1914, from the Heath & Harris Ford agency in Albemarle and it was delivered to him for the price of $648. He wouldn't trade it for a brand new car today. He quit driving it and stored it in the shed 20 years ago because he "just didn't have anywhere else to go." At least 75 people have come and offered him fabulous prices for the eld Ford but he won't part with it An old outside bake oven, or fruit dryer, which he tells visitors is his liquor still, attracts considerable attention. It too, has lain unused since his wife died. Fruit cured hi the old oven always kept soundly, according to Josh, and was never bothered by insects. Another interesting relic is an old hand-cranked seed cleaner resting under Josh's barn shelter. With adjustments and a substitution of screen, it will still clean clover seed and all types of grain. He bought it at a sale and said it originally came from the Tom Bost mill on Rocky River in Cabarrus County. One activity in which-Josh spent many an enjoyable, work-filled day, was the erection of a stone and masonry dam across Rock Hole creek on the back side of his farm. Aside from the mere exercise this project afforded, it was useful in that it created a beautiful little lake that will be used as a watering place for his cow and as a habitat for fish. Here in this tranquil setting on the little stream in the woods in his pasture, Josh labored many a happy day last summer lugging heavy native stones from the creek bed into place in the rock walls of his dam. Once a flash flood undermined his partially completed dam and be had to dig deeper foundations

and start over again which he didp't mind. He plans to heighten his dam this year and increase the water level in his lake. This is one of his favorite places to work. HUNTERS PESTS Hunters bother Josh by invading his posted woods and killing off his game. He has all his land posted but this doesn't keep off unscrupulous hunters, many of whom take the game in his woods by illegal means. Speaking of hunting, although Josh doesn't hunt much any more, he has an old muzzleloader with a 40-inch barrel that has stood him in good stead during the two score years he has used it. With- it, he has brought down many a squirrel from the highest of trees, many a fleet-footed rabbit, and birds that were deft of wing. Very seldom does he even formally aim the old gun when firing at game. He says he just holds the shotgun at about waist level and points it at his target and fires, usually with deadly accuracy. -

Financial Report I C. General Asse Robins In Tremendous Flocks

77 Bird Species Found In Stanly

By FRED T. MORGAN ALBEMARLE â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Stanly b i r d counters logged 77 species of birds Airing the dawn-to-dusk bird census held in this county recently. This, according to John Trott, president of the Stanly County Bird Club which sponsored the census, was a remarkable number of species for an inland census. Most of the official bird counts held in this area of the state are in the 60's, he said. The. 19 people who participated ill this, the first major and official bird census to be conducted in Stanly County, covered an estimated 219 miles. Four vehicles were used and a total of 39 man hours spent in the field. An estimated 27 miles were covered on foot. One amazing thing encountered by the observers were the tremendous flocks of robins, seen in a1! sections of the county. Those participating in the census were: John Trott, Mr. and Mrs.' L. A. Price, Mr. and Mrs. J. Barrett Crook, Mrs. Mazel Lyke, Tommy Shaver, Wayne Smith, Susan Greene, Anne Whitlock, Tom- Ellis, David Taylor, Gail Mahathey, Barbara Hatley, M. M. Haithcock, P. E. Book, Douglas Miller and John Renger Jr.

NOVEL STANLY MAILBOX SUPPORT One of the most eye-catching mailbox supports seen out in the Locust section of Stanly county is this doubleheader buila atop an old castaway hand pump. F. E. Morton, the main pro-l ponent of this unique arrangement, is shown holding littlel Miss Nancy Lou Tucker, daughter of his next door neighbors,!} Mr. and Mrs. Joel E. Tucker. Mr. Tucker, a roadoil foreman \\ with the N. C. State Highway department, was not at home when 1 the picture was made. While Mr. Morton claims no originality | for the idea of mailboxes on old pumps, he thinks this doubleheader is a bit of a novel treatment of an old idea. The base of the pump fits snugly over a cedar post buried In the ground which can be removed by road crews if necessary. The box on the right hides the handle of the pump which sticks out behind. Incidentally, the pail represents the^'wornan's touch" in the project and holds attractive flowers which bloom in season. The boxes are" located a short distance south of highway 27 west of Locust, and have attracted considerable attention. J â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Staff Photo. /

Mr. Russell was born June 27 1877, and Mrs. Russell, the former Martha Louise Hudson', was born May 15, 1882. They have 10 children, 14 grandchildren, and three great-grandchildren, all livt%g. The observance was held at'the home of their son. Isaac Russell, on the Aquadale road near Albemarle.

Mack Lee Is Stanly County's Best Known Auction Sale Bid Opener By FRED T. MORGAN When a Stanly county auction sale lags and no one will start the bid off on the next item, the auctioneer casts a worried glance around the crowd and whispers to an aide: "Where's Mack Lee?" The aide scurries through the people, most of them deadwood as far as sales go, and looks for Mack. He's there somewhere, he knows that. Maybe he finds Mack back on the fringe of the crowd temporarily resting in the shade. Just the sight of Mack is enough for the auctioneer. "Ten cents for Mack Lee," he'll say, "who'll make it 15?" Thus Mack finds himself thrown in.the bidding. He doesn't mind, though, and all the auctioneers know they can rely on Mack to start the bid on anything. Anything at all. Mack is well known in auction sale circles for his ten-cent bid. "If you bid over ten cents, you give too much," Mack grins. Is Kidded a Lot He gets a lot of good-natured kidding about his low bids. But they pay off. You'd be surprised how many items are knocked off on him on'his low bids. Auctioneers jokingly accuse him of "stealing" when he walks away with items obtained at extremely low prices. "But they don't have to knock it off on me if they don't want me to have it at my bid," Mack says. Mack, of course, bids more than ten cents. That's just his characteristic starting point. And if he really takes a shine to some particular item at the sale, he'll bid down all contenders until the object is his own. Whether the object on the block Is desirable, useful, or practical is usually of no concern to Mack. He just gets a b i g k i c k out of the bidding. TTTW=tB=oaUiidden, «4to-oka-y with him;—jf hafrferl" h^S hign main, then h e just adds «She nhif"^ f " his p&er Probably some of the time he doesn't even know what he's bidding on, anyhow. More often than not, he'll come away from an auction sale with his arms full, his car full, or maybe the trailer behind the car full. This accounts for the heterogeneous conglomeration of auction sale items that can be found today around his home at the end of Lilly street near the Stanly County fair grounds. Just go out and ask for what you want, he's probably got it. He refers to his accumulations as "junk."

Then, many people attending the sale would turn around and start buying the things back from him and he would realize a little profit in the turnover. He remembers on more than one occasion returning from a sale with more money in his pocket than he went there with and still have half a trailer load of junk to the good. Many times he has bought a box filled with old china, dishes, and glassware for less than 50 cents. ' An'd most anytime he could sell just ajpdvt pieces out of t h e ' box for more than the original purchase price. He's bought plowstocks for 51 cents, a pair of hole diggers fq

Interesting Relics May Be Seen At J. H. Morgan Home John Henry Morgan, who lives | about two miles north of Nor:wood on the Norwood-Swift IsI land road, has enough old relics around his home to start a museum. He doesn't go out of his way to oollect odd pieces of this and that as a lot of people do. Most of his antiques have just - accumulated in the usual way. Other* have been handed down in ;his family through the years. And his family dates back a long, long way in the history of Stanly and Montgomery, counties and beyond. Mr. Morgan is the great grandson of Drew Morgan, a legendary iron-clad plantation master and businessman who ruled an. empire on Rocky river a hundred years ago. His father was John Morgan and his grandfather was Henry Morgan. Bearing the names of

both his-father and grandfather, Mr. JVtorgah now lives near the place where he was born 60-odd years ago. He is in possession of a set of old wagon irons once used on the famous Drew Morgan wagons which-regularly hauled farm produce to the markets at Cheraw, S. C, and brought back store items- and necessities. Another relic owned by Mr. Morgan, one which he still uses around the household, is a huge cast iron pot, one of the three such pots said to have been purchased and brought to this section by Drew Morgan. Tar Bucket One of his prize museum pieces is an old handmade metal tar bucket which once rode under the coupling -pole of a big wagon on its bumpy journey over the state, or all over the South for that matter. Mr. Morgan knows nothing of the history of the old tar container except that it was found shortly after the close of the Civil War at the ford in Rocky river near the Morgan Mill. He says it probably juggled loose and dropped off as the wagon bounced over the rocks of the river ford. The tar bucket was an essential

part of. any long wagon trip as the thick pitch kept in it was used as a lubricant on the wagon wheel hubs and axle spindles to keep down friction, wear and noise. Other old items in his home include an old organ, believed to be around 200 years old; a muzzleloader complete with powder horn, pounch, bullet mould ramrod, etc., a rhythmic rectangular clock which occupies a prominent place on the mantel; an old "doctor's book", published in 1829, and a small kitchen stable built by his father and believed to be 100 years old. , Mother's Picture Another possession of which he is proud, is a framed picture of his mother. His mother was the former Miss Jeanette Gurst, daughter of Dr. Charles Manuel Gurst of Germany. She was born in 1857 and died in 1943 at the age of 86. Dr. Gurst, Mr. Morgan maternal grandfather, came to this country from Germany and settled in the Millingport section of the county, becoming one of the earliest practicing medical doctors in this section of the country. He is said to have married Anne Burleson, of Cabarrus county, and all but about three of their eight children were wiped out in an epidemic of smallpox. The three remaining children were placed in homes wherever a family would accept one. Jeanette Gurst found a home on the Drew Morgan plantation and was partly reared during her girlhood and young womanhood in the-Morgan home. There she met John Morgan, grandson of Drew, and they were later married and went to settle down on land near Norwood. Jeanette is remembered as a pioneer nurse, having'been* taught much about medicine from her illustrous father. She enjoyed telling the following story about one of her father's patients. Sick Women Dr. Gurst once visited a wan, anemic, bedfast woman who, apparently, had no desire to get well. Talking to her, the doctor learned that she would never drink sweet milk; that she hated it. He told her that he like milk and that it belonged in the diet of any healthy person. He' examined her, gave her some medicine, then left on his horse. At the top of the hill away from the house, he turned around and gallopped back to the house in all haste. He hurried inside and gravely informed the sick woman that he had given her the wrong kind of medicine and that some antidote must be taken right way. He recommended a big glass of sweet milk. •Highly upset, she drank the milk. A little while later, the doctor prescribed another glass of milk which she drank. Before leaving, he told her that what he had done was just a ruse to get her to dring the milk. Thereafter, he prescribed sweet milk as a regular and daily essential for her. In a matter of weeks, the woman was strong and healthy again. For a chat with an interesting old man and a look at an equally interesting' array "of old relics of bygone era, stop by Mr. Morgan's home near Lake Tillery. He'll be glad to see you.

MR. MORGAN AND SOME OF HIS RELICS The metal tar bucket Mr. Morgan holds above was handmade, possibly of military design, and was once a permanent fixture on a wagon as it held tar which was used as a lubricant for wagon wheels. It was found near Rocky river nearly 90 years ago and has since been in the Morgan family. Beside Mr. Morgan may be seen the wagon irons which were used on the market wagons of his illustrious great-grandfather, Drew Morgan. —Staff Photo.

PRIZE RELIC—John Henry Morgan of near Norwood, Stanly County, awns one of the prize relics in this area—a handmade metal tar bucket which once held tar used as a lubricant on wagon wheels. The old bucket, possibly of military design, rode on the coupling pole of the wagon and was an essential piece of equipment on any long wagon trip. It was found at a ford on Rocky River shortly kfter the Civil War and has remained in the Morgan family since that time. (Fred T. Morgan Photo) ir

ALBEMARLE, June 27—Panicked bootleggers fled their sizzlinghot illegal whiskey still, leaving a stream of liquor "big as your finger" .flaming out the worm spout, so surprised were they by the raid on the site in Endy township conducted by Stanly County sheriff's officers and ATD men. Evidently a lookout had forewarned the operators of die raid only by a scant moment or so before, for two men were sighted fleeing the site. A car also left from the immediate area. However, the officers were not close enough to identify the moonshiners. The still, a neat, 100-gallon-capacity all-copper outfit, was going full blast. Officers found the following: Five 50-gallon barrels of prime mash ready to run, a 50-gallon doubling keg, a 50-gallon cooling barrel, 375 pounds of sugar, 100 pounds of com meal, 14 barrels, one 30-gallon keg, 64 one-gallon jugs, two loads of firewood, and 350 gallons of spent mash. Of recent construction, the bootleg factory was concealed in a patch of woods west of Canton Baptist Church.

The Freeman Mill On Stony Run Creek

Freeman Mill A Paradox In Power

Quiet Spot Found To Break Monotony By FRED T. MORGAN ALBEMARLE — It would take a lot of fine-tooth combing along the backwoods waterways of the United States to uncover, a more picturesque old water-powered industry than the Clarence Freeman null on Stony Run Creek in western Stanly County. When you drive off the steaming highway and come in sight of this cool restful spot, you think you've finally found that other side of the fence where the grass looks, and really is, greener. And you won't be disappointed if you're looking for something besides billboards, juke joints, and the strictly urbane side of life. The mill is unique in a number of ways. First, it isn't an old mill. Mills powered with water are generally thought to belong to a period of at least 50 years ago. Or else be located so far back in the sticks that civilization and electricity can't reach them. Mr. Freeman's mill belongs in neither of these catgories. RELATIVELY NEW His mill is relatively new, built about seven years ago. It lacks a lot of being isolated, too. It's located in the heart of one of Norm Carolina's top agricultural counties, not half a mile off heavily traveled state highway 27. Telephones, electricity, and other public service aids crisscross the area. The mill isn't lacking for mod-' ernity. Its operator is by no means adverse to electric power and its conveniencies. It's at his fingertips if he wants it. Water power just suits him better. It's cheaper, safer, more dependable, and just plain more agreeable to his nature. "Anyway," Mr. Freeman says in his soft-spoken way, "I owned a natural location for a mill here on the creek and I just had to build and make use of it." FIVE-FOOT WHEEL His mill, a -long gray cement block affair with small windows, rises vertically from the rocky, bluff: of the creek bank. At the upstream end, a five-foot, 40inch face, overshot waterwheel.

Freeman At Work turns with a steady and pleasant swish-swish as water pours into its metal buckets from the outlet gate at the corner of a five-foot dam which backs up a small lake. A narrow shelf of rock from which a small Channel race has been hewn, separates the building from the brink of the rock shelf. H a s narrow race, over which Mr. Freeman labored many days with hammer and chisel, leads around to the lower end of the building to another waterwheel of similar size. The first drives the wood turning lathe, band saw, rip saw, drill press, sander, emery wheel, and other woodworking machinery, while the second wheel, recently completed and geared up, powers the hammer and flour mills for grinding corn and grain. FLOOR OF ROOK His shop floor is solid rock with a few holes filled in here and there with cement to make it reasonably level. A three-horse

power boiler provides heat in winter. In summer, the rock-bottom shop is shady and cool throughout the day. Inside this unique shop can be seen all the modern machines found in any well-equipped wood shop today. All are powered by water with the exception of a few small hand tools. There is an interesting arrangement of shafts, pulleys, and belts allgrouped about the main Una shaft coming from the waterwheel drive. "It takes a lot of belts and a lot of rigging," Mr. Freeman says, "but it gets the job done." Mr. Freeman designed his own forms and made his own cement blocks that went into the construction of his shop. He laid the blocks, did all the framing work, and in short did just about every lick of work that went into his works on the creek. BLOCK HOUSE • The same is true • of his spacious two-story block home. He

used 2,363 blocks in his home, he recalled. A slight, reserved man of 61, Mr. Freeman flits around his machines and along the catwalks outside his building and over the narrow ledge of his dam with the agility of a teen-ager. He knows every rode and crevice along the creek here. He knows how a machine will behave even before it starts acting up. Mr. Freeman says as far as he knows, his is the only waterpowered mill now in operation in Stanly County. The last two he remembers were the Branch and Lowder mills on Bear Creek. The idea of expanding his mill has appealed to him but he has given it up because he hardly has time to handle all his other activities. He builds anything from bee gums to first-class cedar desks and dining tables in his shop. NO TURN-DOWNS "Haven't turned down any job order yet," he smiles. Getting into Mr. Freeman's place from* the highway is a rattier interesting experience in itself for those who seldom get off the pavement of broad highways. There's a sign at his mailbox on the highway, half a mile west of L i b e r ty Hill Church. You turn here and go down a narrow lane between green shrubs and trees. At the foot of the hill, you ford the placid waters of old Stony Run Creek. Beside the ford, you'll see a sagging footlog for use by pedestrians when the stream is otherwise impassible. Round a bend and up alongside a pasture and the mill comes in view. The old shop and its waterwheels and the dam and little lake behind it all look rustic and quaint. You get the impression that the scene might have come off a picture calendar or out of a movie. Visitors, especially children, find the place enchanting. They like to c ome out-and look over the works on a -Sunday afternoon. And Mr. Freenian doesn't mind at all as long as they don't get hurt.

I NO TRICKERY TO IT!

\A rthur Dry-"Memory Man

By FRED T. MORGAN Wanna know something? Most anything, especially about the United States. Be it historical, geographical, factual, statistical, or otherwise. There's a man in our midst who knows by name every b i t of land area in the United States from the county seat level on up, p l u s ' a wealth of other knowledge about America. And he's not a lawyer, politician, or newspaperman, either. He knows every president and vice-president of t h e U. S., date of his birth, death, office term, and his politics; the names of all current s t a t e senators and representatives in Congress, their districts and politics; and the names of all current members of the President's cabinet. But that's just getting started. Listen to what he knows about the s t a t e s : capital, governor, each and every county and county seat, length and breadth (in miles), nickname, and the dates they were settled and admitted to the union. Also, he possesses a lot of miscellaneous knowledge about the U. S., such as its longest rivers, highest peaks, largest cities," and state parks. Knows The Bible He's read the Bible 22 times. He knows the number of chapters in the Old and New Testaments, the names of all the books, the names of all the kings of Judea and Israel, names of all the prophets, and can quote verbatim almost any passage you single out. Give him a little time and he'll come up with the total number of verses in the Bible, too. You name a date, past or future, and he can tell you what day of the week it falls on.

The man who possesses this amazing memory power is Arthur "Buck" Dry, who lives alone a t Palestine. He is 52 years of age. Meiitw-yL Tested fjgiitCESgiSrpgparhied w i t h . a jioh of World ;A1 nianac of skepticism; set put "the yi?"'out foivhimself temory featshwere

But the ones she got vanished somehow without her children quite knowing what went with them. They scolded her for it. Those friends who had remained true were her first thought. She addressed a letter to each. In some of them she sketched off a family tree showing her relation to Marshall. In others there was only a brief note. But enclosed in all of them was a new Liberty Bell half dollar. Typical of her notes was one that read: "Dear Mr. , I know you have more half dollars than I ever hope to have.

Liberty Bell Half Dollars Helped Ibemarle Woman Reveal Ancestry By FRED T. MORGAN In 1948 the new liberty bell half dollar made its first appearance into the hands of millions of persons. It waa nothing very different in the way of coins. Just shiny and bright. On the back of the- coin is a tiny replica of the old cracked liberty bell that hangs in Independence Hall in the city of Philadelphia. Probably you examined closely the first few coins that came into your hands, aware that the liberty bell is a heirloom of great importance in the history of our country. Then the coins" became commonplace and ordinary, their inscriptions forgotten. Only their value registered upon anyone. Possibly there are many stories connected with the liberty bell half dollar in the four years it has been in circulation. Anyway there's one. It stems from a frail, sickly, 78-year-old lady in Albemarle. Mrs. Florence Carter Anderson, called "Aunt Florence" by her friends, is a familiar figure to the older residents of the city. She lives over the Albemarle Drug store at Five Points in the building that her husband constructed many years ago. He died when the building" was completed, leaving her to pay for it and to raise five children the best way she could. Served as Nurse. Somehow she made it. For years she operated a grocery store in the lower floor of the building. Though untrained, she served as a nurse for most of the doctors in town. Two children remained with her. They lived meager] y. Aunt Florence takes pride in her ancestors. She likes to read about the great ones in her family background. She can trace the lineage back to Jamestown, the Mayflower, and England. On the wail of her living room hangs two framed duplicates of the original Coat of Arms granted to her family connections generations ago. One of them, that of the Marshalls, was granted .to Sir Walter Marshall in England in the year 1215. Back in the genealogical byways is a distinct relation to the venerable Chief Justice John Marshall, a monumental figure in-the history of our country's judicial, system. Aunt Florence is the daughter of Robert Allen Carter and Elizabeth Coble. Robert Allen Carter

"Shetlands are ideal for families with several young children, who have homes near the edge of town, with some acreage where ponies can be pastured and where the children can absorb the many things they will learn from their associations. "The little tots can be put upon a pony and steadied with the parent's hand while the pony is led about. Soon, even as early as three years, they will hold on by themselves while their mount is led beside the one the parents or older brother or sister rides. Children get a wonderful trill out of these little jaunts, and by the time they are five or six, will be learning to saddle and bridle the ponies by themselves, while some older person looks on, and makes sure that all is done safely and securely. "Having pomes and children near at hand, where they can be under the supervision of wise, patient parents, is the ideal situation.

As if this wasn't enough, she brought back a number of trophies and awards for her local post Auxiliary of which she has been president during the past year.

Mr. Russell moved to Palestine Palestine store. on January 3, 1913, and began the operation of his store soon thereafter. Not long after he opened up, he began selling kerosene for the Standard Oil compiny.' Some years later, he began selling gasoline for the same company. Kept In Store In the early days of his gasoline business, he kept the fuel in five-gallon containers sitting in the back of his store. But this wasn't at all inconvenient because there wasn't over an average of one or two cars per day stopping at his store. In other words, there were very few gasoline-burning vehicles on the roads, consequently the turnover in this product was almost nil. But the gasoline business picked up at his store when the roads were improved and cars became popular. He doesn't remember the price per gallon of .gasoline 'when he first began selling it. Once, he was almost squeezed out of business.

STARTED SEVEN YEARS AGO

M. E. Winters Is One Of County's Best Known Small Truck Farmers

Four acres and a genuine love for growing things. That combination has produced satisfactory results for truck farmer M. F. Winters of Plyler. Work, too, has been a prime consideration and Mr. Winters says it never pays to underrate the importance of work when you undertake to grow things. And you pick up a few tricks and techniques along the way, by trial and error, and by expermiting. They help. Mr. Winters, now 62, came to Stanly county about seven years ago from Tennessee and, with but scant previous experience In the agriculture field, has now become one of the county's best known truck farmers. He is not a big truck farmer by any yardstick. Four acres has its limitations. One of those acres is occupied by his home and other outbuildings. Another acre and a half is devoted to small grain. That leaves him only about one and one-half acres to grow his vegetables and small, fruits. "But that's all I need," he s^jd. "It keeps me hustling to keep all that in good shape." Clean and Neat Good shape is an apt term. And clean, ahd neat, and. vigorous. It's hard to find a sprig of grass among his rows of vegetables and berries. It's hard to find anything that's been left undone, too. While his vegetables are now in excellent condition and prospects are for a bumper yield, his other crops were damaged by the late spring freeze and recent days of drought. . His strawberries, which have just finished bearing, were cut drastically. Some of his strawberries are the everbearing varieties; but he is gradually changing to the new Albritton strain. He has a new patch of young plants that will have an

abundance of runners this fall. Likewise his dewberries, boysenberries, and raspberries — now in production — were cut to about half their normal yield.' His picture-book vineyard, including such 'varieties as Comcord, Niagara, and James, shows young grapes hanging in thick green clusters, which he said, had it not been for the freeze damage, would have been double their present number. In the vegetable side of his garden, the visitor may see such thriving produce as green beans, onions, garden peas, raddishes, carrotts, melons, cabbage, butter peas, corn, citrons, okra, squash, cucumbers, pumpkins, gourds, and potatoes.

band throughout. their 25 years of married life and her contributions to the pleasantness and beauty of the household and grounds is well evident Seven years ago there was nothing but a vacant grainfield where their home now stands. From a beauty standpoint, it looks like the home and grounds have been under development for double that length of time. "We aren't in the truck farming business to make money," Mr. Winters said. "It's a hobby and a source of pleasure to me. We grow vegetables and fruit for our table, first, then if there's a surplus, we sell it on a firstcome first-served basis," Four acres and a love for Speciality growing things. That's all it takes. Tomatoes are his specialty. Providing you've got what it He has a sizable patch of various strains of tomatoes set out takes. in his own garden and he has sold hundreds upon hundreds of young plants to people all over Stanly county and beyond. Experiments have proven, to his own satisfaction, which varieties are best adaptable to this area and most profitable grown in the home garden. "But even if I'd keep 40 varieties of plants, I'd still get calls for straings that I don't have," he said. He has tree tomatoes, dwarf tree tomatoes, climbing tomatoes, as well as an array of the more common varieties. As for fertilizer, he likes natural fertilizers best and uses only a very limited amount of commercial - or chemical fertilizer. He keeps a big pile of stable manure and compost near his gardens and uses it generously on all his crops. Cultivation is done with a garden tractor. His fruit trees include pecan, apple, pear, cherry, plum, and peach. Chicken House He also has an 800-capacity layer house in which he keeps I layers when the price outlook is encouraging. In addition to his home, a comfortable frame house with basement and all modern conveniences, his buildings Include a barn, garage', chicken house, and shop. He did all the. work on all the buildings himself. That is, he and his wife, did. A retired mechanic and garage repairman, he keeps all the buildings and machines in tip-top condition and it would be difficult to find a more homey-looking place. His liking for fruits and vegetables is paralleled by his wife'sn desire to grow flowers. And grow flowers she does. Her home and surroundings resembles a florist shop in full color. She has been a steadfast helpmate to her hus-

HAS WORN EVERY PAIR

Mrs. Boyce Hooks Has Extensive Collection Of Earrings At Badin When Mrs. Boyce Hooks of 95 Maple street, Badin, wants a pair of earrings to match her ensemble for the evening, she has over 200 pairs to choose from. She can choose from extotic "bobs" that have come from M states and eight foreign countries. In color, they range from the most delicate hues to the brightest shades. The widest variety lies, however, in the design and architecture of the exquisite little trinkets which tittitlate the eyes of visitors and bring gasps of wonderment. They are fashioned from about every sort of trinket Imaginable. Designs You'll see earbobs made from -miniature parakeets, bugs, lanterns, a knife-spoon-fork combination, a wedding band and diamond, safety pins, pine burrs, pocketbooks, seashells, snowmen, buttons, rickrack, flamingos, and about everything else you can think of. Her prize pair is a set of matched pearls from Japan, a gift from her son-in-law who was in service in that country. She doesn't • wear them as much as she'd like for fear of losing one of the pearls out of the set which would be

difficult and expensive to replace One pair of her earrings is made from the cuff links of a deceased neighbor. "Blood Drops" Another pair has been rigged up from twin golden drops of 'blood, awarded Mrs. Hooks and her husband, Boyce, on the occasion of the gift of their eighth pint of blood to the American Red Cross. When Mrs. Hooks gave blood at the last visit of the bloodmobile to Badin, she wore the "blood drop" earrings and Mrs. H. C. McClaugherty, head of the local Red Cross chapter, called everyone at the blood center to come and look at the unusual earbobs. Incidentally, Mr. and Mrs. Hooks are now near the two-gallon mark in their blood giving. Mr. Hooks, an employee of the Carolina Aluminum company, contributed to his wife's collection by making a pair of earrings from steel in the shape of hearts. He is also well known around Badin as a maker of finger rings. All Given Her Although practically every set of bobs she owns have been given her, no two pairs are identical. She can tell you the name of the person who gave her any pair of earrings you point out among the more than 200 pairs in her collection. At Christmas, birthday, anniversary and other special occasions, she can look forward to receiving earrings. And they please her more than other gifts. She wonders when someone will give her a pair that duplicates one already in her collection. It hasn't happened yet, but she figures it's inevitable. Started in '45 It was in 1945 when she accumulated the first few pairs of

earrings and after that, the hobby just grew and her interest in It mounted. Friends and neighbors began bringing earrings back to her from vacation trips. Her most recent pair came from New York. Never in the 10 years she has saved the bobs has she thrown away a pair, although some of the older ones aren't as fresh and shiny as when theyarrived in her home. Some of the war-time bobs with the plastic fasteners have developed flaws, too, but 99 per cent of the bobs are ready to hitch to the ears. She doesn't have a pair that she hasn't worn. One hundred and fifty pairs of her earrings hang on two boards attached to the wall of her living room. These are the most unusual and interesting ones. Strangers in the Hooks living room invariably utter startled exclamations and dash for the boards to feast their eyes on the array. Neighbors who have not visited in a long time always head for the boards to see the latest additions. Bobs that won't go on the boards are fastened to little cards and piled up like hay on a tray which is kept in the living room. She has plans to secure a larger board and already there are about enough bobs to fill it'' Mrs. Hooks is the former Miss Rachel Blackwelder, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Hamp Blackwelder of Albemarle. She and her busband have one daughter, Mrs. Eugene Alexander, R.N., of Concord. A versatile homemaker, she is a seamstress and makes most of the clothes for herself, her husband, and her daughter.

The heat had damaged the hydraulic brake system in that wheel and forced out all the brake fluid hi the entire system which accounted for the failure of the brakes. Since it was Sunday afternoon, no stores were open and no parts were obtainable. So, they had to wait over Until next day to get the wheel and brakes repaired. That was in Alabama. Atlanta, Ga. From there on, the trip was trouble-free, except for a little difficulty getting through Atlanta, Ga. "Atlanta is really a big city," the young mother said. Dennis, who doesn't object to being called "The Menace," watched the road signs while his mother dodged the traffic. Monday night was spent in the South Carolina mountains. They arrived in Albemarle on Tuesday. "We were glad to get here altogether and none the worse for our long ride," Mrs. Crump said. "The children were well behaved on the entire trip and were I very helpful," she said. Reunited Here in Albemarle, the family was reunited with the sixth child, Hildarose, who was visiting here with her grandmother. Her children are: Dennis, eight; Aileen, seven; Hildarose, five; Raymond, four; Phillip, two; and David, 15 months. She was here for a brief stay three years ago, but her husband drove that time. Her husband, Capt. David Crump, U. S. Air Force, was lost earlier this year when the B-471 he was piloting crashed into the Gulf of Mexico. She had not visited his people since the tragedy.

Miracle In Night Proves Life Saver By FRED T. MORGAN ALBEMARLE, May 24 — Do not tell it, even, to Robert Ripley Jr. He wouldn't believe it, either. But L. D. Morgan and L. M. Smith of Route 2, Stanfield, do not care. They faced certain death. But they didn't die. It happened Saturday night in Stanly County, 11 miles south of Albemarle. A car hurtled over the side of a bridge over Long Creek and crashed upside down in three feet of water. The water rushed in at a level that left Morgan and Smith just inches of space in which to keep their faces above water. They tore at smashed, twisted doors jammed by a crumpled roof. They wouldn't budge. Fumes from a spilled can of gasoline fought with them for

tin oxygen in the limited air space. Smith passed out. Morgan held his face up above water but felt himself reeling toward unconsciousness as well. Outside, the midnight quiet of the countryside was broken only by the humming of a far-off car engine. In the car. Stanly Sheriff Bob Furr was telling two deputies about "a car that went over the bridge on down the road here about a year ago*" "It went off," he explained as the car reached the bridge, "right about sere." He flicked his flashlight into the night and the flood of light revealed the wheels of an automobile sticking out of the water. The three men leaped into the creek. Two passers-by followed. Thirty minutes later it was over. Morgan and Smith were uninjured, l'^?;.'.

STANLT NEWS AND PRESS, ALBEMARLE. N. C, 4-A RETIRES ON 75th BIRTHDAY

TUESDAY, JUNE SI, 1955

John Allen Retires After 55 Years With Wiscassett Mills Co. "Been here 55 years and don't own it yet." That's the way John Allen describes his association with Wiscassett Mills Company of Albemarle. But "Mister John" as he is known by practically everyone in the Wiscassett organization, is just as happy and just as satisfied as if ne did own the whole works. Monday, June 20, was his last day of active duty with the Wiscassett company.* That day also conincided with his 75th birthday. Mr. John came to work with the company in the fall of 1899 and has a continuous service record since that ime. "There was just one little mill here then," he said. "All this," he waved his hand in a wide sweep around the upper end of the present mills, "was just a wilderness. Not many houses. I've seen it all built.". He was born June 20, 1880 in Chesterfield county, S. C, and ' came to Stanly county at the age of 18. His first job was in the carding department and his first boss was Marshall Crowell, Two Shifts There was only two shifts then. "One shift worked all day and the other shift worked all night," he said. He remembers all the superintendents. "We had three in one year before Cap'n Denning came," he recalled. For 42 years, he ran speeders in the card room. Or rather: "I ran them for 30 years and they ran me for 12." After that he had a watchman's job. For the past four years, since the death of his first wife, he has been "gate man" on the second shift. During his 55 years of service

CALLS IT "WONDERFUL COUNTRV

Kennedy Family Returns After Long Residence In Germany "Germany is a wonderful count r y and we enjoyed it very much, but it's still nice to be back home again." T h a t seems to be the sentiment of Mrs. Hugh Kennedy, her Air Force Sergeant husband, and their daughter, Mary, age 12. They arrived back in Albemarle last Saturday after a long residence in Germany. Sgt. Kennedy completed three full years with the Air Force in Germany. His wife a n d daughter had lived t h e r e with him for a total of 27 months before they flew home together a few days ago. Mrs. Kennedy is the former Miss M a r a g r e t Jenkins, d a u g h t e r of Mrs. R. T. Jenkins of 537 E a s t Main street. Sgt. Kennedy is a native of the Oakboro section. Currently, the family is spending sometime with Mrs. Kennedy's mother before leaving on the next assignment. Toured G e r m a n y The family of t h r e e toured Germany and adjoining countries quite a bit during Sgt. Kennedy's time off and, while he was working, Mrs. Kennedy and Mary took long drives out into the country. She characterized Germany as a clean and beautiful country and was particularly impressed with t h e Rhine river and its historic old castles. She also loved its mountains and deep forests. Although there are m a n y forests in t h e country, she says the people must use their timber for purposes other than building for almost all the homes and buildings she saw were of cement or material other than wood. "If a woodsman cuts a tree in Germany, he is supposed to plant three seedlings to replace it," she added. At many of the entrances of the larger forests in Germany are signs which bear t h e equivalent of "no trespassing", or "keep out", she said. The people are sticklers about conserving their timber and natu r a l resources, according to her. Visted Alps This year, the family viewed the breath-taking grandeur of the - Swiss Alps on a trip to Switzerland. They have also visited Holland, Belgium, and Luxembourg. For the first 11 months after Mrs. Kennedy and Mary arrived, they lived in Frankfort, which she says is a city of about a million in population. Then, Sgt. Kennedy was transferred to Neu Isenburg and they remained in t h a t city until his tour of duty was completed recently. Mary took her fifth grade schooling in F r a n k fort and attended the sixth grade

in the Air Force school a t Rhein Main Air Force Base, Neu Isenburg, which is known as the "gateway to Europe" for military personnel and their families. Transportation modes in Germany was a never-ending source of amusement for Mrs. Kennedy. Bicycles outnumbered cars in the cities, she said. Almost every average family had two or three bikes. They k e p t their cars.if they owned one, for special driving only. One practice Mrs. Kennedy could never quite reconcile herself to was t h a t of giving bicyclists the right-of-way in the cities. Other vehicles were supposed to halt and always give the bikes the right-of-way. T h a t custom caused a lot of other service wives to despair of driving over there. But not Mrs. Kennedy. She got her license soon after arriving and drove regularly until she left the country. It was not unusual to see old men and women, some in their 70s and 80s, pedaling bikes along the streets. I t was likewise quite common to see the same oldsters sipping cold beer at the public beer gardens. No Plain Water No natives drank plain w a t e r in the parts of Germany where she lived. "If you asked for plain water they looked at you in blank amazement like they couldn't conceive of anyone drinking unadulterated water," she said. i Most of their drinking water was doctored with minerals or soda, she said, and this type of drink sold cheaply. But just plain tap water—not even the maids or the ironing woman would drink it. On the highways, the motorcycle fiends took over, she said, and it amused her to see a motorcycle come racing by with the whole family aboard. If you enjoyed fast driving, you could really open 'er up on t h e autobahnen which had no speed limit for any type vehicle. Often the family would be cruising along at 70-75 miles per, when a fancy • German sports car would flash around and disappear down the road in front before they got a good look at it. Bicycles weren't allowed on the main highways, however. Gasoline sold for 65 cents per gallon, she remembers. Sgt. Kennedy, a career man with the Air Force, is a veteran of 15 years in the Armed Services with an impressive record behind him. He first enlisted in the Army in 1940. During World W a r II, he was captured by the Japs on Corregidor and held a prisoner of war for over three years. After his release and discharge from

service, he re-enlisted in t h e Air Force and has served in t h a t branch of the military service since. His next assignment will be to Lake Charles Air Force Base, La., and the family is eagerly looking forward to this move.

Mr. Kearns is the oldest Esso servicecenter operator in Stanly county and one of the oldest in t h e Charlotte district of the Standard Oil company. He came to Badin and began the operation of his station on August 26, 1925. This week he is observing his 30th anniversary in the service station business in Badin. He is giving away a number of free gifts this week, too, by t h e way, as well as a quantity, of gasoline. So, stop by and pay your respects to him and his long record of service before the week is out. A Randolph county native, Mr. Kearns came to Badin after working as a mechanic in the town of Oxford for seven years. For the first two years, his brother was associated in the business enterprise with him. Since his brother sold out to him in 1927, Mr. Kearns has been the sole operator of the station.

Fever Fever got many of his men in the sweltering, jungle wastelands of Brazil through which they labored. Once a Yankee boss of one of the crews staggered out to the stables in the hottest part of the day and began throwing a pack saddle on a mule. When asked where he was going, he replied that he was preparing to depart for New York. It took three men to subdue him. They strapped him to a bed and the doctor recommended that he be ted 24 oranges per day. After two or three days of this treatment he recovered. But all the time he lay strapped in bed h e hollered that if they hadn't stopped him, he could have been half way to New York with his mule. "Farmer" and one of his foremen were guests of the Brazilian government at one of-the swankiest hotels in Rio De Janeiro where their hotel window commanded a magnificent view of the city, the harbor, beach, and the Sugar Loaf. They were sent there for three days. "Only the night before," "Farmer" chuckled, "I had slept outdoors on a hard crude bed under the trees." One night in Rio was all they could stand, however, and the two men headed back for the jungle and work the next day. In Peru, "Farmer" attended bullfights in the capitol city of Lima, and came down with altitude sickness on a trip to a copper mine at 16,000 feet in the Peruvian hills. He got sick because he refused to stop overnight at 10,000 feet to adjust himself to the altitude.

'Farmer* Scott Has Varied Career With Aluminum Co. By FRED T. MORGAN Early one morning about 1902, a six-man crew of Aluminum Company of America construction workers stood idle at their station near Niagara Falls plant No. 2, waiting for their foreman to arrive before undertaking the rather specialized job of setting generators over the cliff at Niagara river. One of the group, a wiry, gangling kid, was restless and irked by the idleness. "Let's go ahead and set one over," he suggested. _ The other men, all older than he, were skeptical but they followed his his lead. It was better than remaining no conspicuously idle. Anyway, it was the kid who suggested it m case anything went wrong. Directed Operations With the kid directing the operations, the crew got a generator slung up, signaled the derrick operator to hoist it up and lower It ova the cliff. All went well. There were no slip-ups. The men knew their jobs. The kid knew his. Before they could get another generator harnessed up and ready-:to go, the superintendent of the job walked up. "Where's the other generator?", he asked, surprised. "Down below," one of tfie men said. The Super was impressed "Well, who engineered this move?" "The kid," one of the oldei crew members said, pointing tc the strapping young man in thei; midst. "Okay," the Super said, folding his arms across his chest, "let's see you set another one over." The kid complied. He dlrectec' the slinging of the generator, it: removal by the derrick and low ering into the chasm as efficient ly as anyone could have done. ."All right," the Super said Tfou keep the work going here until the foreman gets back." Never Came Back As it turned out, the foreman never did get back and from that day in 1902 until his retirement at Badin about eight years ago, Alfred Hugh Scott always worked in a supervisory capacity with the Aluminum Company of America. His mechanical abilities and sure-fire electrical knowhow gained him foothold after foothold in the eyes of his superiors and he became one of the most valuable men in the employ of the Aluminum Company in the early days when the company was flexing its muscles In growth and expansion. Canada to Chile His sphere of service with the company ranged from Canada to Chile a#id he had hung up his coat and borrowed tools in every reduction plant in North America before he came back to Badin to settle down to a resident position In 1931.

That's Narrows dam in the background. He is a frequent horseback rider on the old roads and trails along the river, â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Staff Photo. Today, at 74, Mr. Scott lives iiiietly with his wife, the former Iiss Cordia Wall of Sofia, at the 'â&#x20AC;˘adin Club House and pursues he relatively peaceful occupaion of tinkering around his farm :outh of Badin. His life now may ;e peaceful but it is never dull or "Farmer" Scott, as he is mown around Badin, has a way >f perking up and electrifying hings wherever he goes. I spent a pleasant evening recently as a guest of Mr. Scott and his gracious wife and as the conversation reached back into the musty archives of the "old days", I sat enthralled at the colorful and intriguing stories of the feats and accomplishments of this veteran construction supervisor. He took me with him from the bitter cold and Ice of Canada to the steaming, fever-ridden jungles of Brazil, from the sweltering plains of Peru, across the Argentine, and over the tops of the towering Andes in Chile, as well as on a cable-stringing jaunt deep into the wilds and mysteries of old Mexico in the days when Villa was on the prowl. Born In Ireland Born in Rathfriland, County Down, Ireland, January 9, 1881, "Farmer" came to America in 1899 and started his career with the Aluminum Company at plant No. 2, Niagara Falls, N. Y., under Fred Stoughton. Laier, h e worked with Charles Martin Rail, inventor of aluminum, and he is

today one of only three living men Who worked with the venerable Mr. Hall. His work With Mr. Hall was on experimental furnaces. "He had a backyard full of 'em,". "Farmer" recalls. One of his earliest jaunts for the company was up into Canada where, unknown to him until after his arrival, he was placed in full charge of equipping and fitting up a power plant, pot rooms, and other installations. What made the going rough there was the fact that all his laborers were Frenchmen and he himself understood not a word of the language. However, that obstacle was overcome with an interpreter and he succeeded in pushing the work through on time because: "They had set a schedule for me to meet and I had to meet it." Although his accomplishments and his time and labor-saving inovations for the company were many, his service was not without a mistake or two along the way. Once when a giant electrical circuit breaker was ripped asunder through a miscalculation on his'part, it threw an entire potroom out of operation and proved highly costly to the company.

As it turned out, he got out light on the expense of digging his well. Forked Stick "There came along an old miner with a forked stick and I got him to locate the best place in my yard to dig a well. He walked back and forth over my yard and finally he said 'dig it right thai-,' marking a place right beside a big shade tree. Well, I thought the place he picked out was too close to my tree, so Ii moved over a few feet and dug the well there." His neighbors helped him dig the well and the actual cost didn't amount to much. "That fellow with the stick sure must have known what he was doing," he said, "cause we hit a good vein of water down at 45 feet." "We should've dug it right where he said, too, cause we' hit a bad streak of rock on the way down. If we had dug where he said dig, there wouldn't have been a rock in the way at all."

On A Milk Diet

Life Is Soooo... Pleasant For *Hamp9 The Happy Pig By FRED T. MORGAN ALBEMARLE — " H h r n p , " the happy Hampshire, is living in pig heaven these days. He has been for the past two months. Hamp is a four-months-old porker on the farm of Z. D. Dennis near Albemarle. When be gets hungry, he pushes under the hog lot fence and makes his way in the adjoining pasture to his friend, old "Whitey," a meek Whiteface cow with a large udder who stands contentedly while Hamp appeases his hunger. None of the other cows In the

Dennis pasture will do for young Hamp. Whitey, in turn, allows none of Hamp's several dozen companions the same privilege she reserves for bint "He gets out of the lot and to the cow every day," Mr. Dennis said. " I can't fix the fence good enough to hold htm." He tried shutting Hamp up in a barn shed. But then, Whitey comes and stands by the entrance and pleads in a mournful tone for Hamp to come get his daily milk ration.

In other words, if Hamp fails to get loose, Whitey tries her I dangedest to get to him. The affection is reciprocal. It started back when Mr. Dennis weaned Whitey's young calf, and for the next few days the cow's full udder dripped milk. Hamp, who was being weaned at the same time, discovered the dripping milk and took advantage of this available source.

Fifty Dollars By FRED T. MORGAN (Reprinted by Request) If I had fifty dollars, I'd be as hard to hold, as a pack of pampered puppies, or a racer primed to roll. Fences wouldn't hold me, walls they'd have to go, roads would burn behind me, away, away I'd go. Exotic places would beckon, the country, the cities,! ' the seas, the hills, the mountains, the forests, the sunset, the dawn and the breeze.. I'd savor the mist o'er the mountains, the lure of the quaint country, the call of space and openness, and the glitter oi urbanity. . Unbridled, footloose, and so eager, no purpose, no reasou. no goal, just drifting with fancy guiding, towaid the future, the current and the old. O s toot by 'cycle, b y 'horseback, by rick-shaw. train and canoe. I'd glide o'or the earth's wide surface, the rain and wind I'd pursue. No thought of tomorrow or next day, each day I'd live with a song, carressed o n . all sides by nature, a continuous thrill to prolong. In Paris, I'd tackle the Eiffel, the beauteous dolls I'd adore, the shops, the markets, the windows, the intrigue and glitter and glamour. In the Orient I'd study Confucious, with sticks eat many a strange dish, learn, a thousand and one quaint customs, find out how to love and cherish. In Switz, the Matterhorn would call me, I'd visit a watchmaker too, their cheese I'd just have to sample, and get in 'on a party or two. An example of the type of beer can littering going on along the Concord road.

Beer Can Litterbugs Becoming Intolerable By FRED T. MORGAN Beer can litterbugs have aroused the ire of residents along - the Concord road. ?>«•„. They're getting tired of raking empty beer cans out ot their yards, off the church lawns, and out of driveways. Tractor operators are getting tired of having their tires cut by the jagged glass o f smashed liquor bottles along the highway shoulders and their mowing machine blades snarled and broken by unseen piles of empty beer cars in .the edge of fields by the roadside. . •_•" Home owners are tiring of moving soggy bags of smelly beer cans off their front yards or off their roadside property only to leek out a few mornings later and see another unsightly batch of cans scattered tight back. You can drive up the Concord highway from the Albemarle city limits to the Cabarrus county line and see any number of empty beer cans and liquor bottles lying beside the highway, even on the pavement In some instances.. If you stop beside the road, you can see boxful after boxful a n a bagful after bagful of empty beer cans dumped In the roadside weeds, down the fills, and in the gulleys^ In a lot of: places, the bags of cans are-right in the sideditch. There are a few favorite dumping places fee the beer cans. One of these i s located perhaps a half-mile beyond Millingport at a small "drive-off" e n the shoulder of the . road. Here are hundreds and hundreds -of cans of all types. But beer cans predominate. Autumn leaves about cover all bat the most recent deposits of cans. Among these you can see such labels as: Ace Hi, Burger, High l i f e . Blue Ribbon; Budweiser, Schlitz. Atlantic, Regent. National Bohemian, and Old German. They're all there. A "No Dumping" sign right in the middle of the drive-off is ignored. , port. Here you can also see a variety of empty beer cans in a spot of woods about half-way between Plyler and Millingportfl Here you can also see a variety of empty beer cans and liquor bottles strewn along each side of the road. It la not uncommon to see a six-can carton of empty cans, or a 24-can cardboard case of caps, all with those familiar triangleshaped h o l e s in the top. Often, it's a brown paper bag w h i c h ' has ripped and spilled its cans over the ground. This situation i t already more than Just a nuisance. I f s intolerable. And i f s going to stop I Members of the Young Men's United Christian club of Millingport have pledged themselves to put a step to this roadside beer can dumping one way or another. T h e y - a M 'the tfeer cans come from the bootleggers and "eight-pint" joint operators in the Long Creek-Old City Lake vicinity. . These operators^ J>uy, beer at Mt. Pleasant, the nearest" .."wet" county store. •< They-bring it back'to "dry" Stanly county, sell it at a nearly doubled price, and realize a handsome profit. It's a lurcative business, although quite illegal. Their business is booming and has been booming to the > extent that getting rid of their empty cans and bottles poses a problem.-.•_• ' ,f!~M $ 3 ! ; To leave them piled around their homes, or places of "business" would be a giveaway to the law. Of course, it's not against the ljjtw 1to h£veV;.pmpty beer cans around your house. But, if' you have " them there in quantities it m a y raise the question If you are "settUig" beer instead of using it Just for yourself. If you are selling it, then you are violating a l a w and can be arrested and prosecuted IF you are caught. And the bootleggers had rather not have l a w officers nosing around, even with just a question or mild suspicion in their mind. , The easiest way to get rid of the empty cans which accumulate rapidly around their places of business i s to put the cans back Into the containers in which they came and then heave these containers e a t t h e ear window while the bootlegger is on hie way back t e M t Pleasant for another supply. This Is w h a f a happening on the Concord road. Where, the bootlegger heaves his empty beer can bundle out the window during h i s trip to or from Mt. Pleasant apparently never crosses his mind. He just heaves with reckless, abandon. Whether tt be In a yard, driveway, in front of a church or school. • . I f , h e ' £ use more discretion and dump his cans out of sight In the woods or down, the gulleys beside the road, the routs w o u l d n t find the practice so objectionable. But a s it is, the squawks from the residents and property owners along the highways are loud. They are de* manding that the bootleggers do a better housekeeping job and take their trash elsewhere. There is no regular-.schediiled time of week for the cans s. to be dumped, a s they are thrown '.out all times of the day and night throughout the week. Possibly early in the week following a thriving week-end business might be the most prevalent time. The runs to M t Pleasant for more beer to replenish the bootleggers' supply are frequent. They don't like to keep their customers waiting. The l a w says they can have 52 cans of beer and eight pints of whiskey in their possession legally assuming, of course, that it is for their own private use arid not for commercial sale. Some bootleggers keep more than this amount, having it cleverly concealed. Other'bootleggers choose to keep within the legal limits to be on the safe side in case of a surprise raid bv the law. If their customers are m a n y ' a n d thirsty, which they usually are, this necessitates m a t they keep a man on the road practically all the time hauling more booze from Mt. Pleasant. When the empty cans become burdensome, the hauler loads them up in his caT and heaves them out en route. There is a North Carolina law. which makes i t a misdemeanor, punishable by fine or imprisonment to dump trash on a public highway right-of-way, or even on private property for that matter. H the beer can litterbugs don't stop, one of these days, an alert citizen on the Concord road is going to get the license number of the ear that dumps the trash and then there II be court action. | . M * h ^ t . . ? ° e s n ' t v V o r k - the members of the United Christian club of Millingport say they will take a yet bolder step. They will disguise themselves as customers and go to these bootleg joints and buy beer from the operators, then go straight to the law, swear out a warrant for the man's arrest and prosecute him m court '• - "We realize the problems that face the sheriff in this matter," one member of the club said. "The l a w is too lax and loose in this thing. It permits a person to have a large quantity of beer and liquor i n his possession. The sheriff has to catch him with either more than the legal amount of booze In his place or catch him actually selling it, which is a hard thing to do. •He's been doing a good job of it. He has one bootlegger in the Long Creek section up in court now for selling beer We hope there 11 be more and more c a u g h t " The Millingport young men mean business. They mean for the bootleggers to tighten up and stop their beer can littering on the highways up MiHinarart way.

' A thousand years hasn't changed it, the people and soil are the same, through eternity I'd like to go on looKing, calling each hamlet and stream by name.

Ireland, I'm sure, would do much to dispel, the heartbreak that leaving had been, 'cause O'Brien, O'Malley, and O'Grady, too, would each have a story to spin. Rare jokes with themselves at the b u t t the Irishmen would level at me, gloom couldn't l a s t mirth would return, and I'd join in the jovality. Deep lagoons in lazy places, dusk and flickering fireflies, mingled with spirited laughter, and soft sweet lullabys. At the Irish sea I'd sit down and dream, of the Afton, the Rye, and the Brae, and prior to parting I might slip down and see, the moon over Galway bay. I hope Ireland's spell would rel e a s e me, ere I became too attached to the land, for twinkles in the eyes of Irelanders, magnetize like a magic band. Its quaintness, its rhythm, its people, sounding like a rapt golden cord, will haunt me in memory forever, like no artificiality can afford. Restive feet would take me onward, the nomadic instinct I'd obey, the seas no doubt would attract me, I'd sail to the sunset in a dray. High seas would scourge me and toss me, : the waves would buffet and churn, currents would drift and : guide me, hot tropical suns would burn. Whatever island I : beached on, I'd stand up and stretch and shout, "I've come to explore and to conquer." with a crumb and cudgel start out. I'd board a cruiser in Havana, and sail through the south sea Isles, my adventurer's blood still tingling, to stop where fortune beguiles. I'd tread deep Amazon jungles, cross sweltering plains of Peru, cliifab frozen Chilean mountains,, searching vainly for something new. When the continent could no longer contain me, I'd set sail for Australia and New, cruise back by anartic regions, dodge icebergs bobbing along the blue.

Chaos In The City — That's Halloween Kids made a masquerade playground out of the downtown streets and sidewalks of the city Monday evening. It was the rootin'-est, tootin'-est, jolliest, peppiest Halloween crowd to get mixed into the chaos of a Halloween night in the city in many a year. There was confusion and disorder; squeals and laughs, quarrels and races, vandalism and traffic jams. L Police reported they came through the evening without any felonies or misdemeanors. "We handled the kids and the crowds as good as last year," a spokesman for the Police department said. "In fact, we came through better than some years in the past." But there were still some antics that needed their attention. There were few reports of severe vandalism. Maybe a broken window here and there over the city. The major acts of vandalism, or mischief, or.fun, or Halloweenism, or whatever you prefer to call it, seemed to be, the chalk artists who made storefront plate glass windows look like a child's blackboard. While this form of energy-release by the pranksters may not be sanctioned by the police and the businessmen, it is at least tolerated. There doesn't appear to be any practical means of controlling it. A handful of scattered policemen can's very well police several hundred prankish youngsters tromping up and down the sidewalks. Because the chalk, or soap, or crayon will adroitly flash out of a side pocket while the owner of the pocket is innocently strolling along and behind him there will appear on the window an pcean-wave-like chalk mark on the window. Some of the artists chose to merely mark and deface just to leave the window branded and cluttered. Others drew pictures of themselves, wrote epitaphs and love messages. As for the costumes and dress, you never saw such hideousfaced monsters as those who paraded down the sidewalks Monday evening. There were the usual boys dressed like girls and vice versa, black cats, witches, skeletons, frogs, cows, dragons, and other faces of a highly repulsive grotesqueness. Made you think you were in make-believe land just looking at the marching Halloween-ers.

Girls were seen puffing what looked like real cigars . . . blowing smoke, too. Boys with red cheeks and mouths and exaggerated chests and scrawny legs beneath unladylike dresses. Teen-agers in blue jeans, sweaters, jackets, scarves, and sox. One-eyed badmen, cowboys, clowns, long-nosed granite-faced gangsters. One character had chosen a mask with a pointed upturned chin that almost collided with an abnormally long downturned nose. Made you think of some of Al Capp's comic-strip characters. Getting back to the traffic, one distraught young woman reported that it took her 35 minutes to drive from Five Points through town to the railroad on Main street, which, in local parlance, is "just over the hill". Costumed figures in passing cars were almost as impressive and scarey as those on the sidewalk. A balloon water-bag fight broke out among the sidewalk throngs on the first block of West Main street. Unidentified pranksters in front of Moose's began filling balloons with water and hurling them over the street into the crowds in front of Riff's. Return fire came in similar manner. One water-heavy ballon, quite carelessly aimed, smacked into the windshield of a moving pickup truck, the driver of which merely turned on his windshield wipers and hung a nonchalant grin on his face. Another water balloon bit a girl wearing shorts squarely in the middle of the back and she squealed like the ghosts had gotten her. Reports are that the water balloons were discarded in favor of eggs in one section of the city and some people felt eggs splatter against them. One man said he saw ketchup splotched on a store window. Maybe it was ketchup, maybe not. Tuesday morning you could have seen a dozen window washers busy with their hoses and mops. The streetcieaners, too, had extra troubles on Tuesday morning. But, all in all, everyone apparently had a grand lime of parading through town except the unfortunate ones who got eggs squashed over their heads.

Ellis Lambert Is The "Cream Hauling Man" A number of rural families in Stanly and adjoining counties have a regular weekly visitor to 'their homes who comes week in and week out the year through. He's not the mailman or milkman, either.

He's been at it for 30 years. He's the man who buys cream from rural people in Stanly, Anson, Union, Cabarrus and Rowan counties. He picks up a few pounds here and a few pounds there. Cream is all he's after. He isn't interested i n milk or any other farm or dairy produce— just cream.

210 AND STILL GROWING

Great Guns-Tobias Has 'Em By FRED T. MORGAN It would be a nosiy, shootin' old time if all the guns in the collection of Mr. and Mrs. Bill Tobias of the Norwood Road were fired at or about the "same time. You'd think you had run smack into an Indian uprising at Dead Man's Gluch from out of the movies, or into a young war. You'd hear the rumbling roar of the old cannon-like Matchlocks, the swish and resounding thunder of the Flintlocks and other powder burners, the sping-ing of the deadly little derringers, plus the blatant spat-spat of the more modern firearms. <s

Every one of the 210 guns in their collection is in firing condition, too, ready for action. You might not believe it, however, when gazing upon- some of the relics of an era several hundred years ago. They look clean and well-preserved, that's true, but rather like it would be unwise to try to fire one. Pirates and Cowboys Immediately upon coming within the presence of the guns, you're reminded of pirates and buccaneers, of cowboys and duellers. Revolutionary War days, and the Pilgrim Fathers. If the original owners of all these old guns could suddenly

•

appear. Wow! It'd be more startling than a masquerade ball. Or if the guns could come to life and tell some of the stories they hold? TV wouldn't have a chance. About half the guns are pistols and revolvers. Rifles and a few shotguns comprise the other half. All have orderly mechanisms and are safe to fire, which is prerequisite to a gun being added permanently to the Tobias collection. Meticulousness Guns, especially rare and valuable guns, are things to which a collector attaches a lot of affection and care and he usually

insists that they be in meticulous condition before he hangs them on the wall or puts them in his display case. Many collectors are gunsmiths as well. Bill and his wife, "Rosie'', the former Laura Rose Moose, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Richard L. Moose, with whom they make their home, have now about quit the repairing side of the hobby, prefering to devote more time to dealing in guns. Both the young people have been interested in guns practical- j ly all their lives and have been collecting them for a good many years. When they were married several, years ago, they combined their gun reserves and now own a pile of weapons that will bring envy intp the eyes of any gun fancier. Both Capable Although both are quite capable of effecting repairs on any of their weapons, even to the exacting and tedious job of making needed parts for the intricate mechanisms, t h ^ have found this side of the avocation too time - consuming, though they

agree that it can be a satisfying] and enjoyable task. In recent years, they have devoted more time to the buying, selling, trad-1 ing, swapping, and, as they sometimes candidly put it, the "steal-1 ing" of guns, which means a gun . deal in which they come out way on top. Bill is a director of the Caro-1 linas Gun Collectors' Association, | which meets four times yearly to bring together guns and gun fanciers from all over the two | states. He attended the meeting j of the association held Saturday, October 15, in Greenville, S. C. He is also a member of the National Rifle Association. Gun Clubs Membership in these clubs includes many professional men and women such as doctors, busi- j ness executives, law enforcement officers, and private detectives. At these exhibitions, guns have been known to sell for as high | as $2,200, and from that figure j on down. Some of the rare antique fire- j arms, known as collector's items, j show up in strange ways.

in existence. It works by the serpentine with the burning match lowered by the trigger into the priming in the touch hole, caus-1 ing the gun to discharge. The exact date of its origin is unknown but it came into existence before the Whee.llock, which was made by the Germans in 1515. it has mother of pearl inlay on its unusual stock. Some of the numerous Flintlock pistols in the Tobias collection have hand-carved stocks, silver and gold escutcheons, brass grips and ornaments, and ingenious firing devices. Other of the intriguing old Flintlocks have the wide flaring flange on the end of the barrel which the average novice believes was designed to scatter the shot or shrapnel as it comes out the barrel. Bill says the flange was put there for a much more practical reason—to expedite the loading of the gun. The men who originally used these ancient weapons had to pour their black powder and shot in the barrel while riding horseback or trying to keep their balance on the tossing deck of a pirate ship.

Prize Guns' They own some Flintlocks made by the English around 1650, others of military design, and still others of American make. Other outstanding and unusual guns in their collection are a .22 caliber German target pistol with l a 10-inch barrel, a Colt-House I cloverleaf, a Smith-Wesson Lady-1 smith, a tiny four-inch Frank ; Wesson purse or vest pistol, an over and under .41 derringer, a pair of pinflre Belgium-make pis-1 tola,, a small bore pepper_box—a j cased pair of identical four-bar-1 rel revolvers, and many old muzzle loaders and long-barrel squirJ| rel guns.

George P. Hanks Wants A Home For Two Old Books George P. Hanks, Jr., of South Badin, has a couple of old books for which he'd like to find a home —under the right agreement, of course. They've been in his family for over 50 years and he figures he's seen enough of them. One is entitled: "The Works of Benj. Franklin", consisting of essays, humorous, moral, and literary, written by Franklin himself. It was published by J. & B. Williams in 1835. It is approximate-

The Address Is Locust; Postoffice In Operation It's now Locust, N. C. Yes, this booming western Stanly town now has a fullfledged post office all its own. It began regular operation early Tuesday morning. Early?The first batch of mail was scheduled to arrive about 8 a.m. Instead, it arrived at 6 a. m. Grady Tucker, prominent Locust young man, is serving as post master. He will continue his insurance business in addition to his postal duties. The new office sold its first stamps, issued its first money order, and. received its first incoming and outgoing packages on Tuesday. It also affixed its postmark to outgoing mail. ' Each citizen who called for his mail, or visited the' office during the day, as most everyone did, had a happy smile on his face. This was their post office. Years' of Working This was the fruition of years of working and fighting for the establishment of a post office in their town, a post office the people knew they deserved.

It came from the press of Snowden & McCorkle, Philadelphia, in 1796. Somewhat larger, it is four inches wide by six and one-half inches long. Well Preserved Both books look like original printings or editions and are pretty well preserved. Other old books owned by Mr. Hanks include a Book of Psalms printed in 1814, another book whose title he couldn't recall but which was printed in 1816, and the Life of Perry, printed in 1821. His brother has an old Bible, printed in 1648, to which the Book of Psalms was added two years later. His father, he said, once refused an offer of $500 for the Bible. How the old books got into possession of his family is a little hazy but Mr. Hanks remembers hearing his father speak about a great uncle buying an old mill or plantation home at Lincolnton or Morganton years ago and included in the purchase was an old library containing many volumes of books. They have been handed down in the family ever since. Here Six Years Originally from Gaston county, Mr. Hanks has been living in Stanly, since his marriage to the former Miss Nancy Foglia, of Badin, six years ago. He corresponded once with a firm specializing in old books but they wanted him to send the book to them for examination and appraisal, but this he declined to do. - If you want to make him an offer on the old books, or know anyone who might know the true market value of the books, he'd like for you to get in touch with him. He's available in South Badin.

It's a mystery why anyone would want to do her harm." ^^~ Attend Church On Sunday morning, August 20, 1911, Hannah and her son, Vick, left to attend the all-day Big Meeting services at Morning Star colored church, located about half way between Millingport and Misenheimer, as was their custom. Traveling in their decrepit buggy, pulled by their plug mule, they always arrived for the morning service, remained for dinner on the grounds, afternoon and evening services, and arrived back home late that night On this particular Monday morning following the Sunday services, Hannah failed to show up at her home as usual. Vick and the mule and buggy were there, but no Hannah. Neighbors who missed seeing Hannah about her home thought perhaps she was ailing, for she was between 80 and 90 years of age, or else visiting in pursuit of her usual chores in the village.

to go over the field nearby and haul stumps and rocks which were thrown in the well on top of Hannah. There were two sets of men's shoe prints. Ohe»«_of them fitted Vick's shoes perfec substantiating the belief that the murderer had forced Vick to load the stumps on the buggy and then dump them in the well on top of his mother. Presumably, Vick was allowed to live on the belief that he would be unable ever to identify the killer.. Vick and the buggy were allowed to go on home after the murderer forced Vick to help him set the well curbing back in place. Someone later found Hannah's hat in the buggy which was probably knocked off when the murderer first encountered them on the road. Not Vick Some people thought Vick was responsible for the crime. It was later heard that Vick became angry with his mother following the Sunday night services at Morning Star church because she would not permit him to drive a girl home. Thinking people, however, knew that Vick could not have planned and executed the crime by himself. There was the extra set of footprints whose owner undoubtedly engineered the crime. One version of the story still insists that the white man responsible for the crime was present when they pulled Hannah from the well. "He was wearing soiled and HANNAH WAS THROWN INTO THIS WELL smutty clothing like he had recently been handling charred Although its outward appearance has changed quite a bit in the last 44 years, this is the well into which Hannah was stumps and dirty rocks," one man said.

Spreads Alarm Realizing the task was too much for him alone, Mr. Eudy hurried on to the logging camp and told the Lowder boys and sent messengers to the village to spread the alarm. Nearly every farmhouse had a telephone then, and soon men came running to the well from all over the community. They picked up the boxlike wooden curbing and set it to one side. The afternoon sun revealed the well was almost filed with stumps, rocks, and rubbish. "Where are you, Hannah?" someone called. "I's down under all this mess," came her faint but distinct voice sifting up through the debris. "I's in the water but I's not drowned yet and I's not squashed." Pull Up Stumps They set up a well-digger's apparatus over the well opening and with the aid of ropes, pulleys, and mules, they pulled out stump after stump and rock after rock. Even an old cookstove had | been thrown in the well on top of Hannah as well as part of a roof off an old building nearby. After about two hours of frenzied work, the men had the well cleared out sufficiently that they could see Hannah. She was under a big log, leaning againsfthe side of the well, which had shielded her from the bombardment of rocks and.stumps. The fact that young boys of the community had enjoyed dropping logs endwise Into the abandoned well to see the water shoot out the top had saved Hannah from sure death. She took refuge under these logs and managed to keep her head above water. No one wanted the chore of descending into the well and fast-

home has long since been oblif- • I erated by the crops. Her property is in other hands and the original tract is no longer intact. Only the old well remains to recall the incident which electrified the community 44 years ago. It is not uncommon, however, when strange sounds are heard in the dark of night for parents to remark that it must be old Hannah crying to be pulled out of the well.

Who Threw Hannah In The Well? By FRED T. MORGAN (In Stanly News and Press.) Who threw Hannah in the well? For what reason? Who abducted the aged and highly respected Negress on a dark road late one night, forced her to a lonely, abandoned home place.'threw her screaming down an open well, then heaved tons of stumps, rocks, and other debris down on top of her to seal her off forever from the eyes of man? Why did Hannah, during the 24 hours or so she lived after being pulled from the bottom of the well, refuse to speak the name of the white man who sought to murder her, although she knew his identity? These questions are still unanswered and are still heatedly debated whenever old people gather to reminisce up Millingport way. To tills day, some people are lure they know the name of the white man who perpetrated this 44-year-old murder. "But he's dead now," they say. "Wouldn't do any good to call his name." Public opinion at that time put the guilt for the gruesome crime at a number of doorsteps. A grandson of the old colored woman was implicated but later freed One white man was arrested for the crime, given a preliminary bearing, bound over to superior court, but never convicted. The balm of time gradually soothed the uproar over the nefarious act and changed indignant demands for justice into a pleasant game of speculation and contemplation. It became a favorite story for all ages. To this day, who threw Hannah in the well, as far as the public record goes, is as much a mystery m ever. "Aunt" Hannah Jones was the daughter of Beck Palmer. Both mother and daughter were former slaves of Col7 D. A. G. Palmer, prominent farmer and leading citizen of the Millingport section. "Aunt" Beck lived to be over 100 years of age. When she died, Hannah continued to live in the little home on the sizeable tract of property no doubt given them by their former master. Their home was located perhaps a mile north of the present village of Millingport. DEAF MUTE Hannah's children were Vick

Jones, a deaf mute who worked as a farm laborer in the community; apd Bob Jones, remembered as an unusually intelligent young man, who left and obtained employment at the Biltmore Estate in Asheville. Bob camp back home for a visit about once a year and settled up his mother's small financial incumberances. Produce from their small farm and Hannah's wages from her work of cooking and washing for white people in the community kept the family going. "She was a good, dependable Negro," says the people who still remember her today. "Always ready to do an accommodation for anybody. It's a mystery why anyone would want to do her harm." ATTEND CHURCH On Sunday morning, August 20, 1911, Hannah and her son, Vick, left to attend the all-day Big Meeting services at Morning Star colored church, located about half way between Millingport and Misenheimer, as was their custom. Traveling in their decrepit buggy, pulled by their j plug mule, they always arrived for the morning service, remained for dinner on the grounds, afternoon and evening services, and arrived back home late that night. On this particular Monday morning following the Sunday services, Hannah failed to show up at her home as usual. Vick and the mule and buggy were there, but no Hannah. Neighbors who missed seeing Hannah about her home thought perhaps she was ailing, for she was between 80 and 90 years of age, or else visiting in pursuit of her usual chores in the village. VICK'S BEHAVIOR About 4 a. m. that Monday morning, however, Vick came to the home of Jim Lowder and woke the family. He motioned, pointed, and mumbled but the members of the family could not understand what he was trying to tell them. Twice more he returned to the Lowder home and acted in the same peculiar manner. When he went to work later that morning at Luther Lowder's mill at Plyler, he jabbered and performed unusual gesticulations when he got near his co-workers. His eyes widened with unfathomable emotion as he: looked and pointed across the fields to the north. Unable to understand this radical behavior, the white men

around him discounted his actions as the rantings of an idiot. They felt he was trying to tell them something, but the gap in communication was too wide. Noon passed and still no one had seen Hannah. But no one had become alarmed. Vick kept up his wild behavior. HEARS VOICE Early that Monday afternoon, Alexander "Sandy" Eudy, wellknown farmer and one of the nearest neighbors to Hannah, started across the woods and fields to the place where Jim Lowder and his sons were cutting logs in the forest northeast of Millingpot. He had to pass right by theld old Doak Lower homeplace, an isolated, abandoned homestead, located well off the traveled roads. The place was overgrown with weeds and brush and even now in broad daylight there was an erie, disagreeable silence about it. He was walking briskly thru the yard near the house when he heard something that halted him stocks till and sent fingers of chill clutching at his spine. "Sandy, Sandy," it came again | from nowhere. Mr. Eudy's wife had died a short time previously and the awareness of that fact made him even more uncomfortable. Could the faint and tortured voice be that of his late wife? "Sandy, Sandy," is came again like a tenuous thread of reality. It seemed to be coming from the clump of undergrowth around the old well in the yard. Swallowing his fears, he walked over, lifted the lid on the aged wooden curbing and looked down into the black open pit. He saw nothing. . "Who's down there?" he yelled into the blackness. "Oh, Mistuh Sandy," the voice moaned. "Thank the Lawd you've come, mistuh Sandy. It's me, Hannah. Help get me out of this place." SPREADS ALARM Realizing the- task was too much for him alone, Mr. Eudy hurried on to the logging camp and told the Lowder boys and sent messengers to the village to spread the alarm. Nearly every farmhouse had a telephone then, and soon men came running to the well from all over the com-j munity. They picked up the boxlike wooden curbing and set it to one side. The afternoon sun revealed the well was almost fill-

ed with stumps, rocks, arid rubbish. "Where are you, Hannah?" someone called. "I's down under all this mess, came her faint but distinct voice sifting up through the debris. "I's in the water but I's not drowned yet and I's not squashed." PULL UP STUMPS They set up a well-digger's apparatus over the well opening and with the aid of ropes, pulleys, and mules, they pulled out stump after stump and rock after rock. Even an old cookstove had been thrown in the well on top of Hannah as well as part of a roof off an old building nearby. After about two hours of frezied work, the men had the well cleared out sufficiently that they could see Hannah. She was under a big log, leaning against the side of the well, which had shielded her from the combardment of rocks and stumps. The fact that young boys of the community had enjoyed dropping logs endwise into the abandoned well to see the water shoot out the top had saved Hannah from sure death. She took refuge under these logs and managed to keep her head above water. No one wanted the chore of descending into the well and fastening a rope about Hannah with which to hoist her to the surface. Finally, George Troutman volunteered. WHO WAS IT? From the time they cleared the last of the debris from over Hannah's head until the moment before they hauled her out, the men asked her repeatedly who threw her in the well. "Git me out first and I'll tell you," was her only response. Dr. D. P. Whitley, resident medical doctor in Millingpot, was on hand when they got her out. When she came in contact with the fresh air outside, however, she collapsed and as far as is known, she never talked to anyone anymore. Dr. Whitley patched her up the best he could but she died next day in her little home in the big fields. Her secret died with her for she never spoke the name of her. murderer.

Huneycutt and H C. Turner. Assisting Brock in the prosecution were R. L. Smith and O. J. Sikes, among others. Principal witnesses for the s t a t e were C. A. Lentz, J. W. Lisk, A. M. Lentz, J. A.

t r u e bill in the case which said in p a r t : " t h a t Carl, Keithan, and Kirk F u r r unlawfully, wilfully, feloniously, of their malice aforethought, did kill and murder one W. G. Snuggs contrary to the form of the s t a t u t e in such a case provided and against the peace and dignity of the state." Judge Webb ordered a special venire of 125 men to be summoned as jurors. From them were selected the following 12 jurymen to hear the case: John M. Smith, Travis J. Austin, J. E. Brooks, C. E. Richardson, J. H. Furr, R. C. Hartsell, W. H. Sell. D. R. Morris, S. A.

The state made the proposition that it would accept a plea of guilty of murder in the second degree from Kirk F u r r ' i f Carl and Keithan F u r r would plead guilty of manslaughter. Thus the case did not go to the jury. Judgment of the court was t h a t Kirk F u r r be sentenced to hard labor in Central Prison for a term of 20 years.

Time Running Out For Wild Locust Drivers By FRED T. MORGAN Reckless drivers out at Locust—the ones who prey along the main drag in the wee hours of the morning—have got the law breathing down their necks. It is expected that several of them will be arrested and cited into county court real soon. Not for what they may do in the future, but for the offenses they have already committed. The law believes it will soon have sufficient evidence to get a conviction on some of the ringleaders of the wholesale madhouse auto orgies that take place on a one-mile stretch of highway 27 through the town of Locust from about midnight on until daylight. One man has already been caught and reports are that he is plenty worried about the punishment in store lor him. He is Raymond Little. 23, of route 2, Monroe. . He was apprehended Monday by Deputy Sheriff Grady C. Greene and charged with destruction of personal property, to-wit, a plate glass window In front of a business building * in Locust. Little is scheduled to face the judge in Stanly county court on Monday, January W. Last Sunday morning, not long before daylight, the spinning rear wheels of a gagged and moaning automobile threw a fusilade of small roadside stones into the broad plate glass front of the Locust Electric and Refrigerator company. Many of the peppering stones left pit marks on the glass. A volley of them struck the big glass near the bottom and tore out a jagged hole almost big enough for a man to crawl through. Little admitted to Deputy Greene, when he was arrested, t h a t he was driver of the car responsible for the broken, plate glass. He told the officer that he got out of his car and went back and looked at the damage he had done to the plate glass window. He intended to go back and settle up with the owner of the business later, he fold the deputy. However, he hadnt done so when the officer arrested htm early Monday afternoon. The owner of the building estimates that it will take from $250 to $300 to replace the glass section. Greene got on the trail of Little through tips and leads he picked up in Locust. Citizens there were quite helpful and cooperative in aiding, him to get a line on Little, which indi-

Safety Pacers Fighting For Hotrod Sanctioning By FRED T. MORGAN Distinction between the term "hotrodders" and the type of drivers who have been tearing up the roads out Locust way recently has been asked by members of the Stanly Safety Pacers, local hotrod organization. They want it understood at the beginning that members of their club have not and do not participate in any such driving activities much-publicised as occurring in the Locust area recently. Sternly Safety Pacers strive for strict safe driving and driving skill rather than the furtive, nighttime shenanigans that are happening at Locust and in other parts of the county whicu are most illegal and anti-social. In describing-the highway'troublemakers and vandals out at Locust, the term "hotrodders" was used repeatedly. This was, perhaps, unfortunate, as the term'was used loosely, in its generally accepted sense, to denote any and all drivers who operate their vehicles in a reckless and illegal manner and with a malicious, impulsive, and unrestrained intent. By the use of the term, no reflection was intended upon the members of the local hotrod club, which is affiliated with the National Hotrod association, an organization having hundreds of clubs and thousands of members from coast to coast. It was to the non-members, the unregenerated, incorrigible outlaws and vandals of the highways to which the message and the name was intended. The local club, along with hotrod clubs elsewhere, is often the object of ridicule and barbed prejudice because.of the still popular but erroneous belief that all hotrodders are reckless youngsters with an insatiable mania for speed. Club members like speed, yes, and they like souped-up autos. But to engage in these activities, they tow their souped-up buggies to approved drag strips and engage in competitive speed trials under supervision of trained menMembers of the Stanly Safety Pacers have member '«!. - i _ •••'-<• jiipy attach_la_ their vehicles.

Looking west on Highway 27 from the business district in Locust. The road is spotted with tire marks like this for a mile. cates that tile folks there want to see this night-riding mob of tall-spinning, circle-throwing, end-changing, auto-mad drivers wiped out. Since Little lives about two miles across Rocky river in Union county, the officer took him to the Union county clerk of court where he made arrangements to ppst a $750 bond for his appearance in court. Little was driving a 1956 Ford, Deputy Greene said, and Is employed in a hosiery mill in Concord. Little is Just one member of this gang oi hot-rodders, Greene said. He knows the names and whereabouts oi three or tour others and he's investigating still other youthful drivers in the Locust area who are suspected of these nighttime highway depredations. The gang operates mostly on the weekends. Saturday and Sunday nights—mornings, rather—are the big times.' Some of the- participants, Little for instance, work on the second or third shifts, which makes it convenient to' try* out new hotrod techniques late at night, since they're used to being up at night anyhow. Informers say it's Locust boys as well as hotrodders from out of the county. All nave a passion to "try 'er out". That's their fun. Each wants to see what his car will do and if it will outperform the other fellow's. They turn the one-mile stretch of highway 27, from about the lumberyard on the east to the drive-in theatre on the west, into one big dragstrip race track. Maybe they play follow-the-leader in the program for the night. Or maybe it's every man for himself. Anyway there's some competition as each driver tries to spin further, dig deeper, squeal louder, and change ends quicker than his rival. One of the favorite games is to see which can leave the blackest, longest, and most bixarie tire marks on the pavement. There must be some gosh-awful titieholders, too, bom the looks oi the tire-defaced pavement through Locust. , What's more, the tire marks are food for the winner's ego. It's his public record, for all to see, and for him to gloat and brag about among his gangmates. It's not unusual for them to burn a tire or tires clean off a wheel while spreading hot rubber over t h e pavement. But that's Just more fuel for their egos, another feather in their cap. They have jobs making good money—enough to keep their cars equipped with the latest souped-up gadgets and good rubber. The highway at this time of night is mostly lonesome and abandoned. Nobody's abroad. Most citizens are at home asleep. There are few in the way to get hurt. The boys have the highway pretty much to themselves. That's the way they like it. The occasional motorist who does ran Into the dragstrip speedway wonders what racetrack he's blundered into the middle of. But an increasing number of the Locust people are being awakened by squalling rubber and moaning engines late at night. They want the auto monkey business stopped. "When you're woke up late at night and can't sleep for the racket out there on the highway, it's time something was done about it," one resident affirmed. i The sheriffs department has been called on to curb some of the wild driving out Locust way. A Locust citizens' committee talked to the county commissioners months ago about putting a stop to it. "The western end of the county's wide open," one man said. "No law out here. The boys knew i t They feel free to drive like maniacs when they know they wont be bothered by the law. And brother, they're doing it." But the law's catching up. It has its fingers cocked and 'pointed now at several hot rod drivers, waiting to give the boys a little more rope to let them hang themselves a little more securely. From here, it stacks up like this, boys: The law has your numbers. It knows who you are and where you live. It has you under surveillance, not all the time, oi course, but enough to know your driving habits and your routine. It'll be laying for you. Your hell-raising days in the automobiles in the town of Locust are numbered. One thing is certain. Your wild driving has gotta stop. Bet your bottom dollar on that. If s gotta stop.

Safety Pacers Fighting For Hotrod Sanctioning

Time Running Out For Wild Locust Drivers

By FRED T. MORGAN

the 8 5

Distinction between the term "hotrodders" and the type of drivers who have been tearing up the roads out Locust way recently has been asked by members 'of the Stanly Safety Pacers, local hotrod organization. They want it understood at the beginning that members of their club have not and do not participate in any such driving activities much-publicised as occurring in the Locust area recently.

Stanly Safety Pacers strive for strict safe driving and driving skill rather them the furtive, nighttime shenanigans that are happening a t Locust and in other parts of the county whicn are most illegal and anti-social. • In describing the highway'troublemakers and vandals out at Locust, the term "hotrodders" was used repeatedly. This was, perhaps, unfortunate, as the term was used loosely, in its generally accepted sense, to denote any and all drivers who operate their vehicles in a reckless and illegal manner and with a malicious, impulsive, and unrestrained intent. By the use of the term, no reflection was intended upon the members of the local hotrod club, which is affiliated with the National Hotrod association, an organization having hundreds of clubs and thousands of members from coast to coast. It was to the non-members, the unregenerated, incorrigible outlaws and vandals of the highways to which the message and the name was intended. The local club, along with hotrod clubs elsewhere, is often the object of ridicule and barbed prejudice because of the still popular but erroneous belief that all hotrodders are reckless youngsters with an insatiable mania for speed. Club members like speed, yes, and they like souped-up autos. But to engage in these activities, they tow their souped-up buggies to approved drag strips and engage in competitive speed trials under supervision of trained menMembers of the Stanly Safety Pacers have member plaques which they attach to their vehicles. The public is invited to keep its eyes on these cars and if ever one is seen operated in a reckless or unwise manner, the fact should be reported to the club and the member will be expelled, fined, or otherwise dealt With* Club members axe constantly under threat of expulsion if they are caught in auy questionable driving practices.

STANLY NEWS AND PRESS, ALBEMABXE, N. FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1956

Now about one year old, the local hotrod club has approximately 14 members. It admittedly got off to a rather bad start with several black marks chalked up against it. The club has a set of by-laws which states Its aims and purposes—all commendable. It holds one business meeting a month and the members meet about once each week to work on their cars. Bill Garland is president of the club. Carl Kimrey is vicepresident. Van Kepley is secretary-treasurer. These young men have been with the club from t h e first and have worked constantly to remove the stigma from the word "hotrod" and to bring it into public acceptance here. They have a name for the tail-twisting, night-riding, road-runners whose illegal driving antics are often blamed upon legitimate hotrod club members through ignorance and prejudice. Club members call the renegade drivers "road squirrels", although their comparison with the innocent little animal may be inappropriate. Several hotrod events have been sponsored here by the club and more are scheduled. In April, the club hopes to hold a car show here with entries in four classes, antiques, hotrods, sports, and custom. If the show is successful, and much work is going into preparations t o Insure its success, it should attract entries in these classes from all over North Carolina. Local hotrodders participate in statewide events, also. Often they take their cars, usually towing them, to hotrod events. in Lexington, Winston-Salem, Charlotte, and as far away as Elizabeth City. Often, it's an unrewarding trek. For instance, the time one of the local members towed his hotrod vehicle to a distant city to participate in a drag strip competition. He was Just warming it up on the sidelines and a transmission defect became evident which put him out of the contest even before he got started. There was nothing to do but hitch up andtowthe hotrod back home and wish for better luck next time. That brings up another point, a major one for local hotrod members. It's discouraging and means sacrifices of time and money to have to travel so far to participate in drag "strip events. It means local hotrod members must continually re-affirm their faith in and loyalty to organized hotrod activities, otherwise they will yield to the temptation to go out on some back country road on a dark night and hold their own private drag strip try-outs like so many of their less-conscientious contemporaries are doing now. Since the beginning of the club, the members have been seeking as their primary objective the establishment of an approved drag strip somewhere in Stanly county. It doesn't have to be an elaborate, or pretentious tiling—Just a few acres, a paved and level strip, and plenty of room and accessibility around it. Here, the members, and non-members, tod, could hold their hotrod events—events calculated to attract all types of drivers and to test performances of all types of cars. Two significant factors emerge here. ' First, it would be organized, planned, scheduled, supervised, and sanctioned hotrod activity. It would constructively channel the energies of young men who like to drive—give them duties, Jobs, participation, initiative, and a morale uplift. Second, it would take a large part of the youthful recklessness off the public highways. Not all of it, that's true, but a large part of it. Enough of i t that the painfully current "road squirrel" type of show-off would be the exception. Communities which have hotrod drag strips have benefitted by them enormously in many ways outside of the commercial aspects. They have found it pays and keeps on paying—in safety. In the case of the Albemarle hotrod group, the club Isn't strong enough to finance the building of an approved drag strip. Nor will it be in the foreseeable future. Sow, then, will it get its drag strip? The suggestion has been heard that all civic, fraternal, veteran, and other wide-awake groups in Stanly county Join in a county-wide project to finance the building of a drag strip, having some such slogan as "Let's take wild driving off the highways" during the campaign. An alternate suggestion, likewise heard expressed as a result of publicity given the renegade hotrod activity on the notorious highway 200 racetrack near Locust, has been that the city of Albemarle and the county of Stanly jointly finance the construction of a hotrod drag strip as a recreational project. There seems to be a growing feeling that hotrodding, which catersto.a really staggering number of present and potential participants and which lends itself readily to recreational, educational, and safety purposes, deserves more support and consideration from the public and from municipal and county governments; One hotrod magazine writer compared the hotrod sport to the game of golf. Golfers, he said, generally aren't considered too much of a problem. Wild driving, however, is a problem wherever and whenever it rears its ugly head. Tremendous sums of money are poured into golf courses. How much money goes Into the establishing and upkeep of hotrod drag strips? would you rather take a chance of being hit by a poorly-aimed golfers ball or being caught flatfooted in the middle of a wild nighttime highway race? The hotrod writer says: "With today's manufacturers building more horsepower into all automobiles, the highways becoming more crowded and the driving public automatically responding more and more to the built-in impulse to GO— where are you gonna run?" The drag strip doesn't encourage speed—it harnesses its use to safe places and conditions. It contributes to the public's safety as well as to that of its users. It provides public entertainment for young and old alike. What, the magazine asks, does the golf course offer the . non-player? t Modern cars are built to go faster and faster. There is an ever-increasing number of young drivers who will drive them that way—and on the public highways if no place else is provided.

Familiar—Yet

Unknown

Salvation Army Girl Comes Week After Week-But Who Knows Her? Each Saturday with but few exceptions, there comes to Albemarle's business streets and houses, an attractive young lady who is as familiar to most local people as the traffic light at the corner or the neon sign up the street. Yet, few people know her name or anything else about her. They know only that she represents the Salvation Army and that she seeks donations here for her organization. , For about eight years, she has made her appearance on the

streets of the city each Saturday morning, fair weather and foul. Certain people in certain business buildings in the city look for her as regularly as Saturday rolls around. She's easy to spot in her black Salvation Army dress, with her outstreched hand holding a tamboarine into which people drop coins and maybe an occasional bill. She has a pleasant, sensitive tranquil face which mirrors no- hurt from the rebuff she sometimes encounters from her diffuse clientele. Her eyes and face reflects a quite goodness and wholesomeness which creates a kind of halo about here. Her Name Her name is Miss Margin Robinson. She is a full-time employee of the Salvation Army branch offices in Concord and lives at 474 North Church street in that city. In her eight years with the Army, she has compiled an outstanding record of service. Her superior, Capt. Robert E. Bagley, who is in charge of the Concord office, characterizes her as . a wonderful worker and a remarkably ambitious and conscientious young woman of whom he and the Salvation Army as a whole are proud.

Wrong Uncle A Concord foursome who had come to Albemarle to visit "an uncle" were having themselves a cozy time Sunday about 1 a.m. in the living room of the home of Ren M. Lefler, 308 North Fifth street, when their "visiting" grew so loud that it woke Mr. Lefler who broke up the party when he made it quite plain that he wasn't their uncle. Mr. Lefler said he went to bed about 10 o'clock Saturday night after he and his wife had entertained company earlier in the evening. Later, he woke up and became aware of loud talking and laughing coming from the living room. His watch said 1 a.m. He couldn't remember having left on the radio or TV. He asked his wife if she had. She said no. He got u p put on his robe, and went to the living room entrance. There he saw four young people, two boys and two girls, all of whom looked to be about 20 years old. One of the girls was a blonde, the other a brunette. One couple sat on the couch embracing. The other girl and boy were .standing, as if trying to dance. They appeared to b? pretty well fortified with anti-chill tonic. The radio was playing loudly. The TV set crackled. . Mr. Lefler watched for a few minutes before he interrupted. Then he quietly suggested that they must have the wrong house. Yes, they said, after looking him over, he wasn't their uncle. They must have the wrong house at that. They didn't identify themselves, other than to' say they were from Soncord and had come down to visit their uncle. While Mr. Lefler watched,-they got on their coats, mumbled apologies, wished him good night, and supported each other as they walked out the front door. He heard them get in a car outside and leave. Mr. Lefler went back to bed, after making sure his radio and TV were; off. . Just a case-of the wrong house . . . and the wrong "uncle".

Miss Robinson visits most of the uptown stores, streets, and public places on each of her visits. If she happens to skip one, then the next time she shows up there she is apt to be asked if she was sick on the previous Saturday. She's missed. Sends Cards Likewise, when she fails to see a familiar face on her rounds she is often inclined to ask if the person is ill. If so, it is not unusual for that person to receive a card of condolence in the mail during the following week. In a few places, she may stop and chat amicably with her friends for a moment or two, but mostly if s business. Aside from the two or three hours she spends in Albemarle each Saturday morning, Miss Robinson visits about all the towns in Stanly county, including Badin, which is the starting point, Norwood, Oakboro, Stanfield, Locust, New London,, and Richfield. Also, she visits towns all over Cabarrus county. A lot depends upon Miss Robinson's tambourine. The work of the Salvation Army is financed by voluntary contributions. She and her counterparts throughout the United States solicit the money to finance the Army's manyphased charitable program. Locally, that is, in Albemarle and Stanly county, tne Army's services are several, though of a nature as to seldom be spotlighted in the eye of the public. No Home Here Though unable to establish a full-time, staffed home in Albemarle, the Army has done the next best thing.

Badin Lake (Continued from Page One) and there is still between 15 and 20 feet of pipe below water level. Mr. Moose also pointed out that the old plant is maintained on a standby basis and could be put into service if need should arise. In spite of rumors to the contrary,] he said that the old plant has not been operated except the normal workout given the plant to keep it in readiness. At the present time, city officials believe the Yadkin, in spite of its lowered level, will continue to supply the city with all the water needed. The Carolina Aluminum company at Badin, however, will be affected more seriously by the water shortage, if rains do not come soon in the hills from which the Yadkin draws its water supply. Potroom Closed One aluminum potroom was forced to close in December. The company is now using current | purchased from Duke and Carolina power companies under an agreement with these utilities. It is feared, however, that unless the Yadkin and its upstream tributaries bring more water into High Rock and Badin lakes the operation of the plant may be affected still more. Normally, during the winter season, the flow of the river increases to the point that full operation of the Badin generators is possible. The water level now is (even lower than during the summer droughts of 1953 and 1954. Numerous cottages and recreation cabins along the shores of High Rock and Badin lakes are! now hundreds of feet from the water's edge. Boats, left in the edge of the water last fall, are now sitting high and dry, far from the receding water. In fact, these two large lakes have all but disappeared into the regular stream channel because of the small amount of water flowing down the Yadkin waterj shed during the past several I months.

OLD WHITNEY DAM—A SELDOM SEEN SIGHT Now that the waters of the Yadkin river have dropped some twenty-odd feet, the remains of the Whitney dam project, abandoned approximately 50 years ago, are visible.

CARVES ANIMALS AND THINGS

Give Him Knife And Wood And Walter Furr Is Happy While this is not a Christmas story by any means, If you'd like a set of small ChriBtmas characters carved out of wood for next season, you might place your order now with Walter Furr of route 3, Albemarle. Walter can do it. Leastwise, he's carved everything else he's set his head to when he puts his knife to his block of wood. And not least of these is a jolly little Santa Claus which he carved" by special request just a short while before Christmas. Carved from cedar and painted up in bright colors, Walter's little Santa looks a lot more realistic than many of the plastic models you can buy in a dime store. There's a picture of Walter's SanL a Claus elsewhere on this page. Looks Reed For a look at some expertly carved little figures that look so real that you might wonder if they aren't actually breathing, pay a visit to Walter's home in the Bear Creek church community, just off the MillingportRidgecrest road. That he has a decisive artistic bent with a knife is obvious when you gaze upon a pert little cowboy dressed up n all his regalia, an Indian with i complete headdress, and a billy ;oat hitched to a cart in which i saucy monkey is riding. There are other carvings of qual quality and delightfulness — dogs of all sizes and shapes, squirrels eating nuts, goats, monkies, cars and trucks, big and little ducks, sailors, sea captains, boats, elephants, horses, mules, donkeys, pigs, an old-time wagon complete in every detail, a bald eagle with his wings raised for a mighty take-off, a giraffe, and other miscellaneous figures. He has enough carvings completed and shelved to stage a one-man exhibit. He's at work on other*_._.ise And Buggy Eleven years ago Walter carved a horse and buggy for his third grade teacher at Ridgecrest school. Her praise of it was sufficient to spur him on to more and more carvings. Another boost to his woodcarving avocation came several years later when, as a Boy Scout at Camp Dick Henning for a week, he received some pointers on the art from a veteran woodcarver there. Mostly he carved after school and in the evenings after his farm chores were done. Now, at 19, Walter still carves in his spare time. He Uvea with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Grover Furr. Be is the third oldest child In a family of 10 children. At the present time, Walter works with his father, a farmer and sawmill man, during the day and carves for an hour or two in the evenings. A quiet, friendly young man, Walter prefers his knife and a block of wood to gallivanting around on a Saturday night. One of his brothers, "Pete", has turned out a small quantity of carving and his sister, Martha, is good at drawing, but no other member of the family has shown as high a degree in the creative skill as is manifested in Walter's work. He has given little thought to

Once, he gave a carving of a motorcycle and its rider to his cousin and the cousin entered the carving in the Stanly county Fair and won a prize on it for two consecutive years. Blue Ribbons This year, Walter had several pieces of his work exhibited at the fair and it came away with blue ribbons. Cedar and pine is the type of wood used in his carvings. Some are left natural. Other pieces he stains and paints. Recently, he obtained some power tools which has enabled him to eliminate much of the rough cutting on his pieces and hence speed up his production. Now he uses a bandsaw to saw out the figures in the rough, then finishes them by hand. Heretofore, he started with a solid block of wood and used nothing but a pocketknife. 'The pocketknife is still his most valuable tool. He has no special carving tools. Farm Boy A farm boy all his life, Walter is most adept at bringing farm animals and creatures of the woods and friends to life in his woodwork. Ha can look at a picture of an object in a magazine,

Or he can envision an animal in his mind and cut it out of a piece of wood without any guides save his memory. His versatility with the pocketknife doesn't end with animals, however. You name it, and if it's little and capable of being carved, chances are Walter can do it. He's willing to take on some assignments, too. If you have anything you want carved, like those Christmas characters for next year, just go see Walter.

Here's a cloee-up of Santa which is one of Walter's latest carvings.

The Buzzards Of Smoke Hill | By FRED T. MORGAN (First in a Series) Albemarle has a hobo jungle. Or a bum's depot Or a riffraff center. Call it what you will. It's a place where the skid row characters, both resident and transient, gather to drink, gamble, fight, frolic, and commit other acts of which society disapproves. What's more, they can get away with it. They have no fear of being molested by law officers or anyone else. They're on private property, entirely isolated from the general public. They know they don't disturb anyone No matter how uproariously drank they become. Or haw lend their drunken, obscene quarrels wage. Or how sickening the stench becomes from their lair of iniquity. Likewise, they don't anticipate anyone disturbing them. And why should they, from their point of view? No one has any business there except more of their kindred. So anything goes. Anything. This bum's hangout is located in the woods on the west side of the Winston-Salem Southbound railroad approximately across from the McLendon Concrete piant north of the Aquadale road. It is inaccessible except by foot. Bums and drunks who frequent this hangout usually walk down the railroad tracks from town. The railroad right-of-way i s n t considered public property. The place is called "Smoke Hill". The derivation of the name is interesting. The characters who frequent this place seldom drink whiskey as such. Not there anyway. They can't afford it. So, since their craving far alcohol In some form le Insatiable and must be assauged, they obtain it in a much more inexpensive farm. They drink such concoctions as paint thinner, nibbing alcohol (known as "Rub"), canned beat, bay rum, hair tonic, and sometimes even shoe polish which is strained through a slice of light bread te remove the color. This stuff is known as "smoke" by the bum class of alcoholics. Hence the name, "Smoke Hill", for the railroad hill hangout. When diluted with creek water or soft drinks, these liquids, which were never meant to be taken internally, produce a potent intoxicant which exerts a numbing and hypnotic effect on the body. Habitual users claim they get jUst as big or bigger "kick" out of it than whiskey. And it's much cheaper. How drunk It makes them and how quickly depends upon the degree of dilution. If taken too raw, it could lead to acute poisoning, which happens occasionally among the users. Unable te raise the price of a bottle of whiskey, the Smoke Hill alcoholic scrapes up 35 cents and buys a pint of shellac thinner at a local hardware store. Then he makes bis way down the tracks to the hangout and dumps the pint of .thinner into a quart of creek water. Or maybe be dilutes it with three or four soft drinks to camouflage the bitter taste. He has enough Joy Juice to keep him drunk for days. Albemarle police are aware of what goes on at Smoke Hill. They visit the Hill from time to time despite the taunts from the drunks that they are immune to arrest since they're on private property and not causing any public disturbance. Occasionally, the police are informed that auch and such a drunk has been at Smoke Hill {or days and bis family is concerned about him and needs him at home. Will they go get him? Or maybe a rain storm is brewing and the family wants its erring one brought in out of the rain. And the policemen have obliged by climbing over the treacherous footpaths, through the brush and vines, and into the lair and lagging the drunks out. And lugging is right. Imagine carrying a 200-pound man more than a quartermile aver rough terrain. It's a Job the policemen don't relish. Police tell of disgusting sights seen on Smoke Hill. They saw one man more dead than alive. He looked as if he had lain there sloppy drunk on the ground for three days. His shirt was gone and he had rolled into the ashes of a fire. Soot and ashes covered his body and face. His pants were filthy. There was an ugly knife slash across his whiskered face which 'was splotched with dried blood. His mouth was freshly smashed and cut like someone had socked him hard with a fist. T h e r e were flies around his mouth," an officer said. "These big green scavenger flies." A sickening odor emanated from his body. A nauseating Odor of uncleanliness, filth, brewery slop, and body excrement. His eyes were glassy and red and unseeing. His bet breath came in gasps feeble enough not to disturb the flies perched around the bloody lips of hie half-open mouth. How would you like to pick up such a disgusting human cargo? The police don't like it, either. But they do it when they're called. "The knowledge that a man is lying over there in the woods drunk and helpless and that he's wide open to a rain storm is too much," an officer said. "You get to thinking that maybe hell catch pneumonia and die and that you have contributed to his death by not helping him. You'll strain every muscle in your body lugging him out of the woods." < Police remember seeing a little lean-to pole-and-bru?h shelter constructed among the pine trees wbicb would afford a measure of relief from the sun and rain. There is talk, too, that the drunks occasionally have a woman with them in the woods. Officers tell of finding three or four or more drunks, on the hill at the same time. Maybe they haven't yet passed out. Or maybe they're just coming to their senses with a terrible-plus hangover. Anyway, they're sitting reasonably upright, perhaps with their heads propped back against a tree. Their arms are propped across their knees and dangle listlessly, perhaps with an empty rum bottle or paint thinner can in their fingers. Their eyes, bloodshot and red as firecoals, look like the eyes of madmen. Their clothes and bodies reek with an unspeakable stench. , "They look just like buzzards," one officer described them. He coined a name. The drunks have since been referred to as the "buzzards" of Smoke Hill. Police have detected some penitence among the soberinging up drunks there. One man said he was ashamed to go home in such a condition as described above and was waiting for darkness to hide bis disrepute from the eyes of his fellowmen. Railroad officials are concerned about the possibility of the drunks of Smoke Hill falling along the tracks and being run over by the train. Drunks have been seen stumbling along the tracks. The railroad recently erected a No Trespassing sign in the middle of the footpath that leads off the tracks and up onto the flank of the hill. Reports that a drunk came swaggering out of the woods and pulled the sign down while the railroad crew watched. They held him and called the police. In court he readily admitted that he was "just drunk enough" to tear down the sign- at the urging of his likewise drunken companions on the hill. He was given a short jail sentence. Police say there are six, eight, or maybe a dozen vagrant characters around Albemarle who use the hill as a smokeparty, drunk-pitching rendezvous. > Occasionally they bring along a newcomer. The number is growing. (The next article will 'discuss in some detail the use and availability of these "smoke" drinks used by the rum bums of Smoke Hill.)

STANLY NEWS AND PRESS. ALBEMARLE, N. C. TUESDAY, OCTOBER 4, IKK

Solox Is Favorite Drink At Smoke Hill By FRED T. MORGAN Solox, a shellac thinner, is the favorite drink of the rum bum buzzards of Smoke Hill. A pint can of Solox- retails for about 40 cents at local hardware stores. A quart can sells for about 60 cents. These are the two favorite sizes. Sometimes, though, the bums evidently pool their resources and obtain a one-gallon size can of Solox which retails for about S1.95. Since one gallon of the stuff will make about three gallons of po*ent drink, it is enough to keep them solidly inebriated for days. The gallon can is the exception, however. Mostly ifs pint and quart Solox cans that litter the woods on Smoke Hill. You could probably fill three or four bushel baskets with Solox cans raked up from among the other debris. You can stand in one place and count more than a dozen. Some are bent, faded, and rusted. Others look like they were just thrown down yesterday. No effort has been made to conceal them, other than hurl the cans toward the undergrowth. Besides Solox cans, there are empty bottles of alcohol of the brand that can be purchased at numerous stores. Also, there are soft drink bottles and an occasional whiskey flask. Pick up a Solox can dnd one of the first things you notice I right under the name is that it is a general solvent. Although it has a variety of uses, the most popular legitimate use is for cutting and thinning shellac. The can carries this caution: "Inflammable mixture—Do not | ; use near' fire or flame". If you pour out a spoonful/and strike a match to it, it burns with a clear flame: ^ Turn the can sideways and you'll see this warning: "Solox contains Methyl (Wood) Alcohol, a poisonous material which, if taken internally, causes blindness or death". This warning has been pointed out to the Solox drunks on Smoke Hill. "Don't you know this stuff is liable to kill you if you keep drinking it^," they have been asked. The drunk probably mutters something to the effect that he's been drinking it in diluted form for years and it hasn't killed him yet. Another notice on the can says: "Government regulations prohibit the use of Solox contained in' this can for anti-freeze purposes". It doesn't say "personal" anti-freeze purposes. The sobering up process for habitual users of the Solox concoction- is a horrifying experience, according to reports of those who have seen Solox drunks coming out of it. It takes a man over twice as long to recover from a Solox drunk than a conventional whiskey drunk. The biggest help to the drunk iW%*$MiiM&ii$^ > . .;•; " ^ is a repetition of the cause, •'iaswfe. < '--MmS. namely another drink of Solox 1 mixture. Usually this isn't pos- | slble because all the drink has 1 already been consumed and he's 1 out of money. So he Just toughs ; it out. Officers tell of seeing one i man writhing and moaning in ) agony as he came out from under the Solox spell. "My guts are burning up," 'he j cried pitifully. "My stomach is ! on fire." He had sent to the ice plant for a small bag of crushed ice and he pawed handful after handful of the cracked ice into his mouth, seeking to "flood out"' the fire in his stomach. Others have fits, DT's, and hallucinations when they're coming Stesij»»«wj^jf?,^SSJV?.£.«' out of it. Can the Solox addict buy bis cheap -drink openly unrestricted in local stores? Usually he can't because •'*»-, mmuii the most notorious of the Solox drinkers are marked men and are refused when they seek to buy a can of the poisonous fluid. HL ' The paint department clerks contacted in local hardware stores say they have regular calls for Solox; from regular-,shoddy characters who, the clerks think, want the Solox for ho other purpose but to drink.. Almost uniformly, they are refused. • ' ^^m It. isn't hard to tell what a man wants with. the. stuff when his breath hits you like a blow torch; when his eyes protrude from his face and are of t h e right color to mak^ good traffic lights; when he asks bluntly for Solox. Others have slick ruses. They stumble over the name and pretend they don't quite know what they're asking for. Often this approach throws off' suspicion. Usually, however, the sloppy appearance of the alcoholic is enough to give him away. Some customers have been known to request that their can of Solox be securely wrapped and they leave the store with the can shoved deep in their pocket or hidden under their coat like they were carrying some illicit cargo. "We have the' stuff here to sell," one paint .clerk said. "But T can't sell it to a man-when I'm almost positive' he will drink it and that it might kill him." Solox isn't displayed on the paint shelves. In most stores. If* hidden. One paint department manager keeps his supply of Solox hidden far up under the wall side of a counter. When the regular sots come asking for Solox, the paint jlerks say they're "Out". Or else', they Just plainly teu the bleary-eyed characters they aren't selling Solox to them. The clerks can pretty well distinguish customers who want Solox for legitimate- purposes from those- who want it to drink. If a man calls for a can of Solox, their suspicions are aroused. For few persons outside painters and alcoholic bums are familiar enough with Solox to call it by its brand name. If a novice painter or a do-it-yourselfer wants a shellac thinner, he usually calls for a shellac thinner, because more often than not, the name, Solox, is unknown to him. If a man calls for shellac and a can of Solox, there is no reason for- suspicion since Solox, or a similar product, is necessary fpr the proper use of shellac. Of worse, there's always the possibility tbs man bought his shellac at another store and came here to buy bis Solox. Generally, Solox is sold to anyone calling for it except ; the known users or the people the users have sent to buy the stuff for them when the clerks are alert enough to spot people of this ilk. To get.around; these restrictions, the habitual Solox dopesters buy the stuff from clerks who don't know them. Often, they inveigle other persons; unsuspecting or otherwise, into buying the stuff for theni: It Works a good part of the time. Although it probably hasn't happened in Stanly county, reports are that some greedy retailers of Solox have made a practice of obtaining it in large drums and selling It "out the back door" to long lines of slovenly addicts who receive it in unlabeled containers. "We can't be too hard-boiled about it," the clerks say, "or we'll drive away our legitimate customers, too. After all, the stuff is here for public sale just like -any other merchandise. Our discretion about who to sell it to is not always infallible."

1111

One paint man in town who has a different brand of shellac thinner that is relatively new in this locality said he had one call from a questionable source for shellac thinner. He brought out his product and the frowzy customer looked it over but declined to buy it. It was not in the familiar , red, white, and blue Solox can to which be was accustomed ; and he was afraid of it. J-~(The next discussion on the Solox drinkers of Smoke Hill will include medical opinions of the effect on the body of continued use of this poisonous substance.;

The man who helped pick up the pieces of the famous train."Old 97" after it climaxed its ballad-heralded 90-mile-an-hour race down Whitehorse mountain by crashing through the Stillhouse trestle near Danville, Va., on Sunday, -September 27, 1903, now pursues a peaceful life of retirement in Albemarle. Clearing up the wreckage of the old 97 stands out as one of the most memorable events in William I. Hatley's 30 years of railroading.

a member of a family of nine children and today, he has one brother and three sisters who survive. H e was married in 1905 to the former Sally Snotherly, also of the Millingport community. To them were born one son, Cecil Hatley, now of Charlotte, and one daughter, Mrs. Hoyle Helms of H a r wood street, Albemarle. He has four grandchildren." His wife died in 1920. Later, he was married to the former Essie Peck of Albemarle, with whom he now lives. ' For the first several, months a t the Spencer shops, he helped rig air brakes on the wooden freight cars. His next assignment was t h e wrecking crew with which he worked for the next eight years. This crew, cleared up train wrecks on Southern lines from Atlanta, Ga., to Washington, D. C , and from Murphy to t h e Atlantic Ocean. Wrecking Crew As a member of this crew, he was subject to leave his Spencer home anytime of the day or night on 15 minutes notice and be gone until the wreck was cleaned up, which often took weeks of work. Their machinery in 1902 didn't have the benefits of modern engineering and the work was always slow and laborious. He recalls their derrick was converted from a pile driver and their jacks and tackle arid other gear was crude. Once he remembers using a rope, four inches in diameter, to pull an overturned engine back up a mountainside and onto the tracks. T h a t was on t h e Saluda mountain on the Asheville-Spartanburg line. There was another time when he and his crew spent a week cleaning up a passenger train wreck in which 36 people were killed a t Alexandria, Va. Old 97 As for t r a i n 97, made popular in the ballad "Wreck of the Old 97", Mr. Hatley saw it on a number of occasions prior to the famous wreck. The first time 97 wrecked was in the "second c u t out of Lexington" when a big Tock between the tracks derailed t h e engine. T h e second wreck w a s near Gastonia. No. 3 wreck for the 97 was at Rock Hill, S. C , when t h e engine turned over, killing t h e crew members. Mr. Hatley w a s a witness to wreck No. 4 for the 97. It happened near Rutherfordton, N. C. when two freight cars on a spur track got out of control of their handlers and ran onto the main track in the path of 97 which splintered them to smithereens. Aware of w h a t was happening but unable t o prevent it, Mr. Hatley ran to the top of a cutbank where he remained until the dust settled. F a t a l Plunge Wreck No. 5 for train 97 was the famed plunge it took off Stillhouse trestle and into t h e 90-foot ravine. Although Mr. Hatley didn't see the "wreck, he and his wrecking crew were a t the scene within t h r e e hours, coming from

WILLIAM I. HATLEY—RETIRED RAILROADER Retired a n d ready to t a l k railroads w i t h a n y o n e w h o h a p pens by, Mr. Hatley, who lives on Palmer street, here holds a newspaper story of t h e f a m o u s wreck of t h e old 97, a t which site he spent a week clearing up t h e wreckage. —Staff Photo.; Spencer. While the bridge crew repaired the broken trestle, he helped his crew salvage t h e three twisted baggage and mail cars. Eleven men died in t h e wreck. The body of one was not recovered until a week after the wreck. Mr. Hatley helped carry out the body of the l a s t victim. Buzzards circled low over the wreckage for days, he said, until all t h e bodies had been removed. Two weeks were spent clearing up that wreckage. I n 1909, Mr. Hatley left railroading and came back to his Millingport farm which he operated for t h e next 10 years. After his wife died in 1920, however, he got restless for t h e rails again and before long he k n e w h e had to go back on t h e road. H e had a n offer from the Seaboard and was about to accept when he decided t h a t would t a k e him too far away from home, so he applied for and received a position with the Southbound and worked out of Albemarle. He has lived in Albemarle consistently since 1920. Southbound On t h e Southbound line, his work with t h e maintenance crew took him from Winston-Salem to Wadesboro. His work included painting bridges, stations, and Buildings. He built water tanks and did general repair and maint- ) enance work all along the line. < W a t e r tanks he helped build a r e located at Albemarle, Tuckertown,: Southmont, Lexington, Norwood] Brown's Creek, and Wadesboro. While tearing down on old wooden water tank a t Southmont, he narrowly escaped being squashed by a six by six, 24-foot long center pole in the tank. His brush with death on that job led to a revision in t h e methods of dismantling old tanks upon his recomm endations. Painting the trestles was another hazardous job but one which he came through without mishap. H e recalls t h a t he helped r e place the crossties on t h e Whitney trestle across the Yadkin river a t least t h r e e times in his work with the Southbound. H e remembers several wrecks on thej Winston-Wadesboro line during (his 22 years with t h e company. (The most vivid one w a s t h e time an engine wrecked near High Rock dam, killing two crew members, Charlie Burns and J i m S a u s s . ' b o t h of whom were personal friends. Made Foreman Starting off as assistant to t h e foreman, he advanced to t h e position of foreman and served in this capacity during his last halfdozen years with toe company. When he began work- for the railroads in 1902, he earned 14 cents per hour. Needless t o say, t h i s hourly w a g e h a d been doubled several times over by t h e time he retired in 1942. I n the last few years, he h a s just stayed around the house. His wife works. And since they have no children, he just stays home, keeps house, and gardens. But he hasn't left the railroading profession altogether. He occasionally attends railroad conventions and gatherings,. and not infrequently goes over to the local freight yards and renews his contacts with the world, of railroading. To him there's nothing t r u e r than the oft-heard adage among railroad people: "Once a railroader—always a railroader." It never gets out of your blood, he says.

Albemarle Not Alone in Its Smoke Drink Problems back against a tree. Their arms are propped across their knees aid dangle listlessly, perhaps with an empty Bay Rum bottle or paint thinner can in their fingers. Their eyes, bloodshot and red as firecoals, look like the eyes of madmen. Their clothes,and bodies reek with an unspeakable stench.

Synthetic Products Are Easily Gotten By DON GRAY Recently, the Albemarle newspaper, Stanly News & Press, ran stories by Fred T. Morgan on a tract of land known as Smoke Hill where the town's wayward hobos and their traveling companions hang out when in an inebriated condition. Morgan let the words fry In his stories to such an extent that a rather grim verbal picture was painted on this infamous^spot . . . Smoke Hill, where the skid row characters, both resident and transient, gather to drink, gamble, fight, frolic and commit other acts of which society disapproves. And, according to Morgan, they are getting away with it because they go through their acts on private property, entirely i s o l a t e d from the general public. And, according to Morgan, they're getting away with it because they go through their acts on private property, entirely, isolated from the general public. Morgan wrote in his first installment: "They • know they don't disturb anyone, no matter how uproariously drunk. they become. Oh how loud their drunken, obscene quarrels rage. Or how sickening the stench becomes from their lair oi inequity.

THIS IS WHAT THEY'RE DRINKING. — These items'*are Just a few of the many ingredients of various smoke drinks consumed by so many Anson County "drunks" who can't afford to buy better contraband. Rubbing alcohol is one of the most commonly used smoke products all about the county . . . it's available most anywhere. The term "61" has gotten to be the "rub" byword . . . that's the brand they go for. Paint thinner is another great favorite, but is highly dangerous. Bay rum has been a long-time recipe, too, but It's waning from the picture. Sterno canned heat was being bought so widely by the colored population that most dealers have quit handling it. sidered public property." That's the way to Smoke Hill from the Albemarle business district. How Morgan came up with the name "Smoke Hill" wasn't axactly his won interpretation . . . it's the stuff the bums on the hill consume that gives the place its own name.

Seldom Drink Whiskey To quote Morgan again: "The characters who frequent this place seldom drink whiskey as such. Not there anyway. They can't afford it. No Disturbance So, since their craving for alcohol "Likewise, they don't anticipate in some form is insatiable and anyone disturbing them.

The' drinks. railroad right-of-way isn't conGetting back to Morgan's story: "When diluted with creek water or soft drinks, these liquids, which never were meant to be taken internally, produce a potent intoxicant which exerts.a numbing and hypnotic effect on the body. Habitual users claim they get just as big or bigger 'kick' out of it than whiskey. And it's much cheaper. How drunk it makes them and how quickly depends upon the dilution. If taken too raw, it could lead to acute .poisoning, which happens occasionally among the users Not Enough Money "Unable to raise the price of a bottle of whiskey, -the Smoke Hillj alcoholic scrapes up 35 cents and buys a pint of shellac thinner at a local hardware store. Then he makes his way down the tracks to the hangout and dumps the pint of thinner into a quart of creek water. Or maybe he dilutes it with three or four soft drinks to camouflage the bitter taste. He has enough joy juice to keep him drunk for days. "Albemarle police are aware of what goes on at Smoke Hill. "They visit the hill .from time to time despite the taunts from the drunks that they are immune to arrest since they're on private property and not causing any publie distrubance. "Occasionally, the police are informed that such and such a drunk

has been at Smoke Hill for days and his family is concerned about him' and needs him at home. Will they go get him? "Or maybe- a rain storm is brewing and the family wants its erring one brought in out of the rain. "And the policemen have obliged by climbing over the treacherous footpaths, through the brush and vines, and into the lair and lugging the drunks- out. And lugging is right. Imagine carrying a 200pound man more than a quartermile over rough terrain. It's a job the policemen don't relish."

North Carolina's laws are rather puny in regard to ways of combatting bootlegging . . . a man is allowed to have so many pints of tax-paid whiskey in his home; authorities knows he's - selling the stuff, but it's hard to do anything about it because they can't enter a man's house without a warrant.

Giant Turtle Is Taken From City Lake Monday A 32-pound, ugly-as-mud turtle, believed one of the largest ever caught in Stanly county waters, was pulled from the city lake Monday afternoon about 5 o'clock by W. V. Haynie of 1704 East Main street. Mr. Haynie was using a regular bream hook, baited with a red wiggler worm, when he hooked the giant tortoise. Fishing" from a boat on the side of the lake across from the boat landing, he said he thought he had snagged a loose stump when his' line became taunt. Fully expecting to see a stump or other debris, he pulled the dead weight on up to the side of the boat and when the ugly dark head of the turtle, nearly as big as a small dog's head, popped up out of the water, he said it frightened him so he almost toppled backward into the water. His wife and another woman, Mrs. T. L. Harris, an elcterly lady, passengers in the boat, were also quite upset when they saw the giant water creature and began thinking they'd have to share the boat with him. For awhile, there was fastpaced excitement around the "CREATURE" FROM THE CITY LAKE boat. Mr. Haynie called to another W. V.

Wanted To Be Engineer

Dan Efird Had Varied Career With Southern An engineer playing "whippoor-will" on his locomotive whistle caused Dan Efird to leave Stanly county for a career on the nation's railroads. Four miles northwest of Albemarle on the Concord road, on the farm where he was born and reared, Dan would wake up before dawn many spring mornings -to the tune of the "whip-poorwill" song, expertly played on the freight locomotive steam whistle by a whimsical engineer as he approached Albemarle on the Yadkin railroad. The faint but clear whistle, morning after morning, got undo: the youth's skin and made him say to himself many times: "When I grow up I want to ride the trains and blow a whistle like that." His, dreams of becoming an engineer never materialized, however, even though he spent the best 44 years of his life on the rails. Without Pay Fifty-five years ago on the Southern line, they wanted you to work one month without pay

on a trial basis when you were a candidate for the job of fireman and engineer, he said. He didn't have the money for living expenses during that month, so he had to take a lesser job. But today, at the age of 75, Mr. Efird doesn't regret a moment of his 40-odd years on the rails. His railroad career contained lean years and fat ones, successes and disappointments. He came out smiling and on top and today he loves railroading about as much as ever. 1901. The oldest child of a family of 10 boys and two girls born to the late Mr. and Mrs. Adam T. Efird of Stanly county, he was reared on the farm and remembers hauling crossties to town when the wagons mired up to the wheel hubs on the main streets. "Just a few little houses in town, then," he said. He also recalls that he and his brother spent 10 cents of their first money to listen to one of the first phonographs in Albemarle. After the "whip-poor-will" whistle enslaved him under its

romanee-of-the-rails spell, he came to Albemarle seeking a job and was referred to Spencer where the company immediately signed him as a blacksmith's helper. That was in September, 1901. Eight months later, he quit and went to Bluefield, W. Va., and to work for Joe Huneycutt, a Stanly county man, on the Norfolk-Western railroad. Mr. Huneycutt was roadmaster over the section work on which Mr. Efird was a laborer. Back Home Hankering to see home again, he quit after about a year and came back to Albemarle where he took temporary employment with the Efird textile mill until he landed a job as station hand at the Yadkin depot here at $20 a month. J. O. Ross was station agent then and Mr. Efird slept in a room upstairs over the present Albemarle Telephone company building. Next, he landed a job as brakeman, but a case of typhoid fever hit him simultaneously and it was months before he could resume his work. Soon, after coming back on the job, he and a co-worker got in a fight at Granite Quarry and to separate them permanently and prevent- future antagonism, • the roadmaster transferred Efird to the main line, leaving the co-worker on the local line. From 1906 until 1910, he served as brakeman on freight and passenger trains between Greenville, S. C. and Spencer. Promoted In 1910, he was promoted to conductor, having charge of trains on this 154-mile run. He held this job regularly until 1923 whan he accepted the position of station master at Salisbury. But he tired of the inactivity and, stuffiness of this inside job, and giving up his seniority, he went back on the rails as baggage master in 1927. On this job, he traveled around 6,500 miles per month on the Southern main line between Salisbury and Atlanta, Ga. He held this job until he retired on January 15, 1945. About the most famous celebrity to ride his train, to his knowledge, was the team of Amos 'n Andy who boarded his train in Charlotte. There was another time, when the train crew thought President Woodrow Wilson would ride their train, but the President's trip never materialized. The worst wreck he ever saw was when 18 cars were derailed at Cowpens, S. C. He, himself, never received more serious personal injuries than slight bumps and bruises, although he remembers his parents warning him that he would be killed within a month if he went to work on the railroad. "It's an Interesting and fascinating life on the railroads," he

DAN EFIRD . . . 45 YEARS OH THE RAILS —Staff Photo. said. "The companies treat you^ right." No Tobacco Mr. Efird has never used tobacco and thinks abstinence from the weed may have some bearing on his state of health and soundness. He uses a cane when walking, otherwise, he's fit and able. Since retiring, he's fished some and gardened a lot. But now, both avocations have proven' a bit too strenuous and he devotee a lot of his time to reading and playing solitaire. His wife died some years ago] and, since he has no children,he lives with his wife's sister, Mrs. O. F. Smith, on highway 52 just north of Richfield in a home he has occupied for the last nine years.

Experienced Many 'Firsts'

Stanly Man Astounded Experts In New York With Memory Feats By FRED T. MORGAN

A lot of "firsts" were experienced last Week by Arthur Dry, memory phenomenon of Palestine. He took his first plane ride, saw New York City for the first time, and made his first appearance o n a national TV program, to mention a few. Back home this week, he is $80 richer (or expects to be when the check arrives) after he baffled t h e panel of experts long enough to win the full program prize money on the "I've Got A Secret" TV program on which he appeared Wednesday night, March 21. The carton of cigarettes which he also received for his appearance, he has already given away to friends, for Arthur doesn't smoke. Hanging Around Telephone And he's hanging around the telephone and watching the mail pretty closely nowadays, too, in case some other outfit in t h e entertainment world has an invitation or an offer. One TV show he'd like to tackle is the "$64,000 Question". For some years, he has wanted to try out his memory abilities on a quiz show. But no opportunity came along until last August when the producers of the "I've Got A Secret" TV show read a newspaper clipping about A r t h u r and immediately called him about appearing on their show. Arthur, of course, was all for it and arrangements were made right down to plane and hotel reservations. Then, the afternoon of the day PALESTINE MEMORY EXPERT prior to his departure, the show Dry (left), of Route 2, Albemarle, chats backstage officials notified him by telephone withArthur Emcee Garry Moore after the "I've Got a Secret" TV show. the appointment had been can- Mr. Dry, w h o appeared with the secret: "I've memorized most celled. of t h e Bible and the World Almanac," demonstrated his a m a z i n g They told him they might work m e n t a l skill in answering questions put to h i m by m e m b e r s him in on their program schedule of t h e panel and studio audience. in a month or two.

After staying in a hotel t h a t night, he got another bus out to the airport next morning, picked up his round-trip plane ticket and caught Eastern Airlines fourengine Clipper No. 582 out of Charlotte a t about 9:50 a.m. T h e trip up was an enjoyable ride for him, it being his first ride in a plane, although a slight case of air sickness left" him a bit nauseated. He sat beside a window and had a grand view outside. Lunch was served en route and although he had the privilege of getting up and walking around in the plane, he said he did not leave his seat during the four h^urs and 20 minutes t h a t elapsed until the Clipper sat down on the Newark, N . J. airport. There, he disembarked and caught a thru bus straight to New York City. At' the terminal, he asked directions to Hotel Abbey where he was to stay and walked the distance, which he estimated to be around two miles. When he told the folks in the lobby who he was and his purpose there, they immediately showed him to his room, number 443, where he remained until supper. The address of Hotel Abbey, by the way, he filed away in his infallible memory as 149 West 51st street. TV Studio After supper, he walked the five or six blocks to the TV studio — address, 256 West 47th street. Garry Moore met him and rehearsed him briefly on some of the memory work he would ask him to perform. He did not meet the panel members, he said until he went on t h e show.

Following the able demonstra-, tion of his memory powers on the' show, he gave another requested performance backstage where Moore and several of the panel members questioned him about dates and facts. Then back to the hotel room and a night's sleep. The next morning, he said he had no time for sightseeing, since he walked back to the bus terminal and waited until the thru bus took him back to the Newark airport where he boarded a plane for home around 4:30 p.m. Asked to state what he thought of New York City, he was vague except to say he was impressed by the tall buildings, endless streams of people and vehicles. Return Trip On the return trip, he was on board plane number 539 and as luck would have it, all the window seats were filled and he had to take a seat which robbed him of a view outside. Coming back, the plane made only one stop, at Philadelphia, compared to the four stops going up. He didn't get sick coming back. Back a t Charlotte, he caught a bus uptown and found to his disappointment t h a t no more buses came to Albemarle until next morning. So he took a hotel room, and next morning, caught the first bus out and arrived a t the local terminal about 8:12 a.m. Suitcase in hand, he stopped by the News and Press office for a few moments where he entertained the staff with a private show featuring his profound memory feats. A barrage of questions were thrown at him but he hesitated only briefly and erred not once. Then he had some questions: "Did you see me on television?" He left the office headed for his home in the village of Palestine. This week, he's back a t his old part-time job, baby-sitting for his niece in Albemarle. But he's got an ear cocked and his memory machine primed in case any more quiz show offers come his way.

tl Feel Right at Home Here"

Man From Israel Tours Stanly County Farms By FRED T. MORGAN A sun-browned visitor from Israel toured Stanly county farms this week and came away with the comment: "Your people are very kind and hospitable. I feel right' at home here." David Pelley, 31, a native of Haifa, Israel, sat in the county farm agent's office and told of the purpose of his visit here. His dark and friendly eyes and his eager-to-learn attitude mirrored his faith in his awe at the United States of America. The features of his well-defined face showed a deep fervency and his voice bespoke his enthusiasm as he discussed the agriculture of his country and the hopes and plans he has for it. His English is tinged with an accent and he pauses occasion-1 He's in this country to study ally to reach for a word that will agriculture.

He is agricultural planning officer for new settlements in Haifa, one of the three districts in Israel. His country is approximately 8,000 square miles in size, populated by slightly more than one and one-hall million people, 20 peF cent of whom are on the farms. For the past several years, 40,000 new immigrants arriving in Israel*each year have been absorbed in agriculture. This trend is expected to continue. Cooperative Fanning Agricultural production in Israel is based on cooperative or group farming of three types: the Kibbuf• which is a farm settlement where everything is owned and operated collectively; the MOshav, which Is made up of individual family units and more highly specialized; and the Moshav-Shifti, a combination of the above two. Cooperative farming has enabled the people to settle on land with less capital investment per person than would be needed in individual farming. It has made it possible for people tol improve their standards of living with much less average monetary income than would otherwise be possible. ii

, - s j — - - 1 -, - i - - ; - ^ i -

Mr. Pelley's job is setting up these new cooperative farm settlements. One hundred and twenty such settlements were established last year, he said, and the average is about 25 new farm communities each year in his district. Each farm community contains from 60 to 100 families. The average size of the farms in these settlements is 10 acres. Almost all of them are fully irrigated. Mules Used Mules are used on these small farms by the individual families. Tractors and other farm equipment are owned cooperatively by the settlement and each farmer pays for the use of these machines on a sort of rental or hourly basis. The private farms, on the other hand, have very modern equipment and plenty of i t Some of them contain as much as 1,000 acres and practically all are irrigated. One poultry farm there contains around 40,000 layers, Mr. Pelley said. Rainfall there is concentrated within a period of three months. Other times, there is no rain. Therefore, Irrigation is a must in successful farming. The greatest detriment to agriculture In Israel is the shortage of water. Government-sponsored irrigation projects are overcoming this ob-

stacle, however. The land is naturally rich in minerals, but extremely low in moisture. Irrigation plus new chemical fertilizer plus wise planning and management is bringing most of the land into high productivity. Limited In Size "Naturally we are limited in the size of our farms," the Israeli said. "Therefore we must get the most from the land that is available. Utilization of all our land and resources is absolutely essential." , ' . Citrus fruits are the most important crop in Israel, Mr. Pelley said. He estimates that between $35 and $40 million worth of citrus fruits were exported in 1955. Other major crops are cereals, vegetables, grapes, olives, tobacco, cotton, and bananas. There is extensive swine, poultry, and dairying, also. Excellent grain is produced in the Esdraelon Valley. Other industries, in addition to the agricultural enterprise's, include metal, textile, leather, wood, chemical, and food-processing plants. There are also diversified industries s u c h , as diamond-cutting, cement and fertilizer factories, auto-assembly plants, and building materials. Imports into the country are enormous, although the steadily upswinging at-home industry is

[reducing the amount of heeded imports. The country ships out a huge volume of produce, also, much of which reaches the United States. Dead Sea Mr. Pelley said there was much fertilizer and chemical industry in the vicinity of the Dead Sea, an inland salt-water lake 10 miles wide and 47 miles long, the water of which is about eight times saltier than ocean water and in which no animal life exists. The area thereabouts is rich in minerals, he said. Education in his country is compulsory through the age of 13 which usually coincides with the student's graduation from elementary school. If he desires further education, as a large proportion do, there are secondary schools, two universities, a number of technical colleges, plus other institutions of higher learning. All But TV Hospitals in Israel are modern, Mr. Pelley said. His country has social security, old age pensions, radio, newspapers, and about everything the U. S. has except television. "And who knows, someday we may get that," he laughed. Mr. Pelley has a wife and daughter in Israel. He was accompanied on his trip to the United States by another Israeli, Raphael Agmon, who is also a director of farm planning. Although they split up to go separate ways In order to cover more territory, they meet periodically to pool their newly acquired knowledge and exchange views. At the end of their six months here, they will submit a written report of their visit to the U. S. government

Participating in the raid Thursday night were Sheriff Bob Furr, deputies Ralph McSwain and Sam Dry; ATU agents C. L. Fink and Robert G. Martin; and Rowan county ABC chief David Graham.

Cost SI 5,000 The officers said the distilling equipment must have cost the operators approximately $15,000. They were of the opinion that the monster still had been in operation at this site for around a year, possibly as long as three years. Burris has been living on the farm since 1951, according to the officers. He has extensive farming interests, owns a cabin on the lake, a boat, an automobile, and some farming equipment, the officers said. The still had a daily output of 320 gallons of white whiskey, when operated at capacity. This amount of whiskey would net the operators around $1,750 per day, based on the current prices of moonshine. The federal government was being cheated of approximately $3,500 a day in taxes, too, considering the current $10.50 federal tax per gallon of whiskey which ' legitimate distillers are required to pay. Housing the distillery on the Burris farm was a 36 by 45-foot building, including a shed on the north side. Officers believed it was constructed purposely for the distilling operations. It had no windows, a sliding door or. one end and a set of swinging

doors on the end of the adjoining shed. A car or truck could be backed into the shed for loading or unloading purposes. From the outside, the building had the appearance of the usual drab farm building, giving no indication of the illicit operations going on inside. Eleven Vats The 11 huge circular metal vats lined the walls and front end of the main still room, encirling the compact distilling equipment. Flexible hose and electric pumps were used to move the mash from the vats into the still. Spent mash was poured into a drain in the dirt floor and piped underground to a ditch outside. Water for the operations was pumped from the dwelling house, 200 feet away. A copper condenser, submerged in a cypress vat filled with water, was one of the largest ever seen by the officers. Whiskey came from the bottom of the condenser. It was then strained through special strainers which emptied into a large wooden barrel. Connected to this barrel was a regular gas hose with a nozzle on the end which was used to fill up the jars which did not have to be removed from the cartons. Installed in the partition which separated the main still room from the shed was the 36-inch electric exhaust fan, used to draw the fumes, smoke, and odors from the room. Smoke from the tall upright steam boiler was piped out through a hole in the roof. In the shed, the officers found a wornout boiler of identical construction, which may have been used to fire the still until it burned out. Quality Workmanship All the permanent Installations in the building revealed high quality craftsmanship. Officers speculated that the equipment may have been constructed elsewhere and hauled to the Burris farm. Axes, picks, and finally dynamite were used to destroy the still installations. The officers started chopping early Thursday night and were after midnight completing the destruction. The 492 half-gallon jars filled with white whiskey were smashed against the concrete foundation of the building. The 21 sacks of sugar were poured down the spent mash drain, as were the 7,000 gallons of new mash. Approaching the Burris farm on Thursday afternoon, the officers were attracted by an unmistakable odor coming from the barn when they were still some distance away. With sufficient 1 evidence to justify it, they waited for a search warrant to be I brought from Albemarle before!

Ray Newsom Likes To Carve - Bottlesful Whittling is a pre-occupation which Ray Newsom, 63, of • t h e :St. Martin road community, has developed into quite an interesting hobby. He whittles bottlesful of trin, kets. That's right. He's got bottles I filled with miniature objects t h a t he's carved with his knife. Looking a t them you wonder how he ever got them into the bottle. The bottle has only a thumb-size neck to it, yet the completed carving inside almost fills the bottle. There's a technique to it a t which Mr. Newsom is well adept. His work in the bottles reveals a skilled and artistic touch with the knife. Log Cutter's Outfit One of his better carvings is a log-cutter's outfit — a crosscut saw, axe, maul, sledge hammer, and wedge. Mr. Newsom has been a logc u t t e r in his time, 'so he knows t h e tools of t h e trade. In one of his log-cutter carvings, he added a splintered portion of a tree trunk to give i t a more realistic impiession. If you've ever been in the woods where logs have been cut, chances a r e you've seen a similar broken tree trunk. His bottles a r e filled with a long ladder, an old-time butter churn with t h e handle sticking out t h e top, a wooden bread pan, knives, and wooden pails. There a r e small bottles, three inches high and hardly more than an inch in diameter, which contain some impressive knife sets. T h e bottles have a little wooden stand in the bottom out of which stick four tiny knives equally spaced around the inside of the bottle. Handles of the knives are made of contrasting wood. Maple Wood Maple Wood is used in his light Carvings. I t is tough and hard to whittle, b r t it finishes up better for his purpose than most any other wood. For dark carvings, he uses cedar. Often he combines t h e two, as in the case of the knife handles. As for getting the objects placed in the bottles — there's really nothing to it to hear Mr. Newsom tell it. All it takes, he says, is to carve all the individual items small enough to go in the neck of t h e bottle to begin with. Then a little first-goes-first system and a slender stick to manipulate the pieces into their proper places is all you need. Glue does the rest. But if you* think it's easy, t r y it. Patience And Fortitude Patience and fortitude play a big part the success c the venture, "-le has plenty of both. He also has leisure time to devote to t h e work, since he i s ' no longer able to do heavy work. "If I was able to work like you," he said, "I wouldn't be triffling with such stuff as this."

satisfaction. The admirers of his work are many. He estimates he has completed 100 or more bottle carvings. Most have been given away to relatives and friends. A few have been sold. Once, he whittled out a complete ferris wheel and re-assembled it in a large bottle. He never tried another. He has also tried jugs to house his intricate whittlings but says they have never proven satisfactory. So. he sticks to bottles, large and small. Between his carving and looking after his four-year-old grandSon, Steve Martin Lowder, he keeps plenty busy these days.

Re-Discover Stanly County By Boat Trip On Lake Tillery By FRED T. MORGAN If you've never viewed Stanly county by boat clipping up the middle of the broad and beautiful Pee Dee river, it's a travel adventure trip you ought to take this summer. It should be a recreational "must" for every resident of the county. It will give you a refreshed appreciation of your county, particularly of its scenery and the recreational opportunities it affords. You don't hove to fish, swim, or water ski along the way. This can be the next thing to a n a r m c h a i r travelogue. Bat better—you're there. Just sit b a d e in t h e boat, relax, a n d enjoy t h e vistas of m o u n t a i n s a n d lake t h a t untold before you. T a k e your sunglasses and your camera, your s u n t a n lotion a n d your binoculars. Your shear pins a n d an extra prop. And forget about everything else except w h a t surrounds you—water, skies, and scenery. Suppose you get thirsty or your gas r u n s low? Pull into one of t h e several lakeside service stations and refreshment s t a n d s a n d satisfy your needs. A lot of home-county people probably don't know we h a v e I b o a t service stations on t h e river, designed t o m e e t t h e n e e d s of I b o a t s and boaters. We got 'em. Te one who thought h e h a d seen Stanly county from about every physical angle possible, a b o a t t r i p upriver from Hydro d a m below Norwood to the point of navigability beyond Morrow Mountain State p a r k reservation, proved fascinating a n d wonderfully eye-opening. Most of all. I w a s impressed with the scenic splendor of t h e river region.

Despite Severe Handicaps

Walter B. Miller Is 'Good Will Ambassador' Here By FRED T. MORGAN You feel a tap on your shoulder and look around and there stands a short little man wearing glasses and a wide grin on his round face. He's grinning because he surprised you and because he just likes to grin. One of the first impressions that hits you is that he's so filled with congeniality, animation, and cheer that it's almost rolling off his sloping shoulders and seeping out his twinkling eyes. You notice the way the conservative suit fits his slightly stocky body; that his shirt is clean and his necktie in place. Gray hair peeps out from under the felt hat on his head. His face is clean shaven and his shoes are shined. The man's name Is Walter B. Miller and he lives at the Baptist Home for the Aging in Albemarle. ' Known Casually He's known casually by many people here; closely by a much lesser number; and intimately by few.

If ifs a hot day, h e l l pull at his shirt collar, puff and "whew!" and glare upward at an antagonizing sun. Should it be a markedly cold day outside, he'll jam his hands into his pockets, - hunch his shoulders forward, and shiver and point to his cold-reddened nose and ears. If, perchance, the winter wind is lusty on the other side of the window, he wiH grab his hat and struggle to hang onto it in order to convey that impression to you. Before he leaves, he will whip out his pad and pencil and scribble a bit of news or a message relative to himself or some mutual acquaintance which he thinks will Interest you. When he leaves, he waves with a meaningful gesture and somehow you feel it's more like a handshake than a wave. Ambassador Despite his status as a deafmute, Mr. Miller is the "good will ambassador" for the Baptist Home here, its public Relations department, its diplomat. Few local citizens speak of the Home without mentioning Mr. Miller.

To say he circulates around town is putting it mildly. He covers the town. He walks up town every day the year around, though the center of town is a good mile away.

One of his favorite stopping places in. Albemarle is at the News and Press office where he walks around -the printing shop and watches the machines in operation. I had known Mr. Miller by sight and by casual gesture for a long time prior to our interview the other day. Though, I'd be out of the office many, many times when he came by, I gradually became aware of characteristics I- liked about himâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;unpretentious, meek, and a simple intrinsic honesty about him that made you aware of his background of breeding and culture. Interview Our interview was a strange and interesting one far me. Pencils swished softly over the wilting pads and we had to resort to the pencil sharpener, and my notes piled up copiously. First, I typed oft a sort of questionnaire and gave to him and he industriously sat down at a vacant desk and began writing out the answers. One afternoon a few days later, I walked in the public library and there sat Mr. Miller at a table engrossed In a magazine I sat down beside him and there in the quietude of the big room we- had another long conversation via the note pads. jive, a i i u j i c i p i u i .

Mr. Miller Is a "good will ambassador" all right, in every sense of the word. Not only of the Baptist Home but far everyone who comes within his presence. For you cannot long be associated with him without realizing that here is a man of integrity and stamina who has met an acid test in life and came out victoriously. A man who has learned to live with the hard knocks of life with a grin on his face and gratefulness in his heart. The days don't get too short or too cold to keep Mr. Miller away, so look for him around In the days to come. And he brings a welcome warmth with him. While the sandhills boast of their tens of thousands of peach trees which produce the most famous peaches in the nation, Stanly county can merit a mite of recognition in peach circles, too Stanly has one large commercial peach orchard on a hilltop between Norwood and Cottonville. It is the Crowell peach orchard which is just this week getting into full swing picking and packing its Albertas and Georgia Bells.

Despite Severe Handicaps

Walter B. Miller Is food Will Ambassador' Here By FRED T. MORGAN You feel a tap on your shoulder and look around and there stands a short little man wearing glasses and a wide grin on his round face. He's grinning because he surprised you and because he just likes to grin. One of the first impressions that hits you is that he's so filled with congeniality, animation, and cheer that ifs almost rolling off his sloping shoulders and seeping out his twinkling eyes. You notice the way the conservative suit fits his slightly stocky body; that his shirt is clean and his necktie in place. Gray hair peeps out from under the felt hat on his head. His face is clean shaven and his shoes are shined. The man's name is Walter B. Miller and he lives at the Baptist Home for the Aging in Albemarle. Known Casually He's known casually by many people here; closely by a much lesser number; and intimately by few.

If it's a hot day, h e l l pull at his shirt collar, puff and "whew!" and glare upward at an antagonizing sun. Should it be a markedly cold day outside, he'll jam his hands into his pockets, - hunch his shoulders forward, and shiver and point to his cold-reddened nose and ears. If, perchance, the winter wind is lusty on the other side of the window, he will grab his hat and struggle to hang onto it in order to convey that impression to you. Before he leaves, he Will whip out his pad and pencil and scribble a bit of news or a message relative to himself or some mutual acquaintance which he thinks will interest you. When he leaves, he waves with a meaningful gesture and somehow you feel it's more like a handshake than a wave. Ambassador Despite his status as a deafmute, Mr. Miller is the "good will ambassador" for the Baptist Home here, its public Relations department, its diplomat. Few local citizens speak of the Home without mentioning Mr. Miller.

A PEACH PICKS PEACHES While the sandhills boast of their tens of thousands of peach trees which produce the most famous peaches in the nation, Stanly county can merit a mite of recognition in peach circles, too. Stanly has one large commercial peach orchard on a hilltop between Norwood and Cottonville. It is the Crowell peach orchard which is just this week getting into full swing picking and packing its Albertas and Georgia Bells. The peach on the ladder with the basket is Miss Judy Russell, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. S. Russell of Norwood. —Staff Photo.

To say he circulates around town is putting it mildly. He covers the town. He walks up town every day the year around, though tiie center of town is a good mile away.

'Ghost' Writer Seeks The Real N.C. Spirit By HELEN A K T H U R Observer Stall Writer

B A D I N — North Carolina ghosts are, F r e d Morgan believes, not just run-of-the-castle apparitions that clank their chains and groan. They have s t y l e , verve and determination, and can, Morgan insists, "outghost g h o s t s anywhere." Despite his high regard for North Carolina ghosts, Morgan has never met one personally, and he would like. to. He has written ghost stories but based on other people's experiences. So he is looking for a qualified ghost finder to introduce him to the spirits suspected of lurking at several places in Stanly and Montgomery counties.

Insurers Say Plan Isn't Fair Continued From Page IB premiums 30 per cent for safe drivers. The $44 figure is a 30 per cent reduction from the current $63 minimum. "Available insurance experience makes it almost a certainty that the $44 premium would be Inadequate and the schedule of surcharges under the plan would in many instances be excessive for the risk involved," said Mize. Mize' said that because of the excessive premiums for drivers with violations, Ingram's order would make insurance a "secondary system of penalties for (raffle violations." "The cost of an insurance policy should relate to the potential cost of settling claims

"I'd like to get a mediumisttype person," Morgan said, "a Person with p r o v a b l e , demonstrable abilities . . ." Morgan, 46, is feature editor of Albemarle's Stanly N e w ? and Press and a u t h o r of "Ghost Tales of the Uwharries." He is now at work on his Second book of ghost stories. "People ,are disappointed when I have to say I haven't seen any ghosts. I don't seem to be the type they hobnob with. Maybe I don't have the proper sensitivity. But I know just what I'll do when I do see one. "I'll observe it and remember everything about it. I'll try to communicate With it. And I'll try to find out its reasons for appearing." In his writings to date, Morgan has taken "the word of the p e o p l e I interview as their honest version of what happened." But that is not the same as personally interviewing a ghost. "I'd like to get Into the historic old Kron house, and then (here's an old abandoned house over at Booger Hollow near Oakboro. Thfn there are some strange bine lights in Montgomery County where a young girl was killed. "And up around Kannapolis, there's a really old house a young couple has moved into. They say they've seen an apparition of the owner who's been dead for many years." There are other reports he wants to investigate — a ghost around Pekin and another at Old Coggin, Mine, a witch at Black Ankle, and g h o s t l y winds blowing around Ophir and Jumpin' Off Rock. Morgan also h a s his [everyday ghosts on the mountaintop

where he l i v s with his wife and children.

And more cider will be made on the old mill before the season's over. Mr. Sheppard, who is 81 years old this month, has been making cider here for the past 30 years — ever since his three-acre orchard reached maturity and began yielding its bountiful harvest of quality apples. He's worn out two cider mills and the current one has seen years of service.

Telephone Conversion Is Complex Project By FRED T. MORGAN A green telephone company service "truck is parked beside the street, . You see a little circular fence around an open manhole in the middle of the sidewalk out of which sticks the upper end of a ladder. Red flags and "men working" signs keep pedestrians from possibly stumbling into the opening and getting hurt. Perhaps there's a red canopy—red for warning—over the opening, too, to keep out the grueling mid-day sun. Maybe you've noticed a little gasoline motor put-putting away with a large flexible tube running from it down into the manhole. . . . „ ,. There'll be a man around the truck, too, looking after the engine and never straying far from the guarded hole In the sidewalk. What does it all mean?

Cable Splicer If you would pause and carefully peer down into the dim hole, you'd see a cable splicer at work. A cable splieer? He's a man who's busily engaged in the complex process E of switching Albemarle telephones from the manual to dial r. system. Cable splicers have been at work under the sidewalks of the business section of the city for several weeks. They will continue for several weeks to come. k So, look out for those red flags on the little grillwork iron fence around the sidewalk manhole. A cable splicer works In close quarters. He's not a man afflicated with claustrophobia. Through the manhole opening, 1 he descends into an underground chamber that is roughly four feet wide, eight feet long, and the bottom of which is about eight feet below the level of the sidewalk.

Forced Ventilation Necessary It is dank and stuffy down here. That's the reason for the forced air ventilation coming in from up on the sidewalk. An oscillating electric fan, trained on the splicer, will do just as well. If there's an electrical outlet available. And if there's room for the fan to oscillate, which sometimes there isn't. All around you is damp concrete and the traffic noises on the busy street overhead seem afar off. The close walls will seem oppressive to the newcomer, maybe a bit frightening. But to the splicer, they're friendly, old, and rojutine. Through this four-by-eight hole pass metal tubes, some the size of your arm, some smaller. In these tubes, or cables, are hundreds of pairs of tiny copper wires which carry your •! words when you speak over a telephone locally. What the cable splicer is doing now is rigging up another set of wires and tubes for the new dial system here. Uninterrupted service is, of course, maintained on the old system. '.... . Lead tubes and new wires have been placed in the underground conduits throughout the business section of the city and at these key subterranean junctions, the cable splicer is joining the wires together.

Splicing Is Exacting Art This is an exacting art. Each wire must be tested to eliminate the possibility of any trouble in the cable, and each

These funds, which last year amounted to approximately $2,500, are turned over by the clerk to the treasurer of the Stanly County Bar Association, who is also treasurer of the law library committee. He keeps accurate records of all receipts and expenditures in connection with the law library and his accounts are audited annually. This means that every time a person is convicted in Court here of a traffic violation, or similar criminal offense, that $1.00 of the costs of court which he is required to pay, goes to the support of the law library.

And there are thousands of tiny wires to deal with. The splicer sits on a stool, an upended box or five-gallon bucket—anything that will fit. Right in front of him, just like a typewriter in front of a typist, hangs the hundreds of loose ends that he is to join. With dexterous hands, he takes two wires of like color and twists them together, slipping off the insulation almost before you realize it. Then, with a fast movement like twirling the handle of a pencil sharpener, he twists a "pig tail" in the two joined wires, snips the end *• with a pair of handy cutters, and folds the pig tail back alongside the joined line. Over the splice he slips a tightlyknit, wax-impregnated sleeve. A veteran cable splicer can join about 100 pairs of wires an hour. When the splicing is completed, the wires are lumped together, tied compactly and securely, and a lead sleeve is slipped over the junction and soldered to the ends of the smaller running lead tubes.

Moisture Is Major Concern Painstaking care must be taken in the soldering, for moisture in the cables is the telephone company's major concern in an underground system. And since the lead covering on the cables is soft, great care must be taken when the cables | are placed and spliced to insure that the outside covering is not damaged. When a job Is properly completed, water can surround the cable junctions without damaging the wires , inside. The/largest .cables under the local sidewalks contain 3,636 wires, or 1,818 pairs. Smallest cables ordinarily used contain 1,818 wires, or 909 pairs. Some long distance cables in the Albemarle telephone underground system have 48 wires, some 102, and some 108 wires. These long distance cables are kept under constant gas pressure to prevent moisture leaks. Underground "cables are used in the business area of the city for reasons of beautification, and to lessen the likelihood of damage by storm, accident, and vandals. Once propi |l erly placed, they seldom give trouble.

Conversion Is Complex Project Conversion from a manual to a modern dial system, from, an old exchange to a new exchange building several blocks away, while yet maintaining complete service, is a complex and intricate project, involving a lot of workmen, equipment, and manhours. A lot of checking, testing, and more checking. Tentative changeover date is November 18. So far, the work is running on schedule. It all adds up to growth, to progress, to better telephone service to each of the approximately 5,000 telephone subscribers on the Albemarle system.

Skylab Power Failure Delays Crew's Launch BY JOEL GREENBERG Knight Newspapers Writer

primarily to be operated by men.

CAPE KENNEDY, Fla. — The launch of Skylab 1 astronauts was postponed until Sunday after America's first orbiting laboratory was crippled by a power shortage Monday. Space agency officials were planning a possible abbreviated Skylab 1 mission of 14 to 19 days instead of the planned 28 days. The astronauts had been scheduled to b l a s t off t o d a y , 24 hours after their space lab was drilled into orbit. But the failure to get the orbiting workshop's solar-energy panels o p e n — so they could c o n v e r t sunlight into electricity for the 85-ton laboratory — seemed certain to put a major crimp in plans for the first three-man crew to live aboard.

Enrollment Adjusted At Two High Schools By F R Y ! GAILLARD Observer Stall Writer

Without debate or open'dissent, the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Board of Education voted M o n d a y to increase enrollments at West Charlotte and Harding high schools, in the coming school year. The move followed a desegr e g a t i o n hearing last week during which U n i t e d States District Judge James B. McMillan called on the school board to enlarge the student body and course selection at West Charlotte and then commit itself to a "serious restudy" of its current desegregation plan. At that hearing, the judge described the plan as unstable and un f a i r , and he implied s t r o n g l y that until it is changed, the Charlotte school case never can be closed.

At last week's h e a r i n g , of where the additional West McMillan expressed concern Charlotte and Harding students that a reduction of enrollment would come from, and among at West Charlotte proposed by some b o a r d members there the school board would further was skepticism about whether endanger an already strug- a consensus can be reached.

Monday's resolution by the board made no mention ot any long-range rethinking of the desegregation plan, and Judge McMillan greeted the action coolly during a terse afternoon conference with lawyers in the case. "I c a n ' t see where this raises or answers any questions," M c M i l l a n said. "I guess I'll just have to wait and see what action the board finally takes." School board attorney William Waggoner, who plans to step aside from the case in the near future, explained to McMillan that the school system's c e n t r a l staff has been inetructed by the board to devise alternatives for sending more Students to West Charlotte and Harding. Waggoner said the board is expected to meet in special session Thursday, decide exactly which students to reassign, and report to the judge again on Friday. "We expect to increase enrollments at both schools by a substantial amount,' Waggoner said.

National Aeronautics and Space Administration officials said Monday that a mock-up of the workshop could be made ready for flight — but only at a cost of an additional $200 million and a year's work. On an alternate m i s s i o n b e i n g considered Monday night, the space station would run on half its own power and borrow a m i n i m a l amount from the Apollo command and service module that is to carry the astronauts into orbit. A second set of solar panels on the lab's observatory deployed normally from its telescope mount 25 minutes after the 1:30 p.m. lift-off. Those windmill-shaped solar collectors provide nearly half the craft's power needs. During its first earth orbit, the space station failed to obey commands from the Johnson Space Center in Houston to open the workshop's wing-line solar panels. The wings were supposed to spread automatically 41 minutes after launch.

MAIN SOLAR panels, shown deployed at far right IB this artist's sketch, failed to function when Skylab reached orbit. The panels, where the words "United States" are painted, supply 50 per cent of the energy needed to operate Skylab while in orbit.

Ervin, Watergate Jury To Get Dean's Secrets From Observer wire Reports

WASHINGTON — i n i t e d States District Judge John J. Sirica ruled Monday that certified copies of ouste/ White House counsel John w Dean's alleged superstcret Vatergate documents be made available to the governmSrt prosecutors and Senate comimtte? investigating the WatergteAse. Sirica, chief judge ft the district court for the District of Columbia who presided over the first Watergate trial, instructed the court clerk to take possession of the papers and provide certified copied to the two investigating groups. Later Monday, Dean retrieved the mysterious papers — which he contends are more secret than "top secret" and relate to the Watergate scandal — from an Alexandria, Va., bank vault where he hid them two weeks ago.

The problem cast a shadow over an otherwise p e r f e c t launch.

Ehrlichmans Safe Held Missing Logs

WASHINGTON - Attorney General - designate Elliott L. Richardson admitted Monday that high White House aides g a v e htm "two or three" names a* possible nominees for special Watergate prosecutor. But Richardson, whose own nomination ft facing increased opposition on Capitol Hill, said he rejected th e "suggestions" from Gen. Alexander M. Haig, new White House Chief of Staff, and Leonard Garment, special Nixon counsel working on the Watergate affair. Richardson, who contends he is keeping an "arm's length" relationship with the W h i t e House, said he i g n o r e d the names because they did not h a ve the qualifications. He said he has narrowed the field to four men, none of which were recommended by the White House: • David W. Peck, 71, retired presiding Justice of the New York Appeals Court. A L i b e r a Republican, Peck helped revamp the New York GOP in the 1930s and was a close political ally of the late Gov. Thomas E.

Court Will Rule On COs> Rights To Get GI Benefits Washington star-News WASHINGTON—The Supreme Court Monday agreed to rule on the right of conscientious objectors who serve alternate civilian duty — rather than active military service — to receive veterans' educational benefits under the GI Bill. The justices, in a brief order, said they will decide the issue during the 1973-74 court term in a case involving William Robert Robison of Fairfax, Va. Should the justices rule in favor of Robison, the decision apparently w o u l d clear the way for about 30.000 conscientious objectors who served alternate duty during the Indochina war from 1964 to 1972 to receive GI Bill benefits. Tho government a l s o contended in its appeal that the decision of the Veterans Administration to refuse to grant GI Bill benefits to conscientious objectors was immune from court review. In other action, the court: * Going along with the Nixon Administration, left intact a lower court ruling that bars s t a t e s from enforcing meat packaging laws that are tougher than federal regulations. Without comment, they rejected the appeal of the state of Michigan, which was seeking to enforce its stiff 1952 meat packaging statute. The practical effect of this is that Michigan can no longer bar the use of hearts, tongues, lips, ears, udders, intestines, eyes, lungs, stomachs, snouts and bladders because the Federal Meat Inspection Act permits these parts in meat products. 1 • Declined to rule on the constitutionality of c o l l e g e grooming regulations' for men t h a t prohibit such things as long hair and beards.

Commission To Probe Charge That U.S. Is Bombing Vietnam BY GEORGE ESPER Associated Press

SAIGON - i The four-nation international peacekeeping group voted unanimously Monday to investigate Communist allegations that the U n i t e d States has resumed bombing in South Vietnam, causing serious losses of lives and property. A spokesman for the United States Embassy d e n i e d the c h a r g e s anew and said the American government "certainly welcomes any investigation." The Saigon government leveled charges of its own against the Communist side, accusing North Vietnam of "war preparations." It asked the International Commission of Control and Supervision — composed of Canada, Hungary, Poland and Indonesia — to help per-

suade North Vietnam to stop such actions. North V i e t n a m issued a "white paper" denying it had violated the cease-fire but accusing the United States and Saigon of serious infractions of the peace agreement. Hanoi said, "Peace in South Vietnam has been threatened and the situation in the entire of Indochina has become tense." In C a m b o d i a , about 500 Cambodian soldiers marched into the capital city with guns blazing into the air to emphasize their d e m a n d s for a month's back pay. They also claimed they hadn't eaten for three days. The soldiers threatened to move on the presidential palace if the government failed to pay their wages. The army paymaster quickly produced the money, the equivalent of

a b o u t $17 for each man. L o a v e s of bread also were handed out to the troops and the demonstration calmed. In Paris, Saigon's delegation to the bilateral political negot i a t i o n s with the Viet Cong proposed that North Vietnam and South Vietnam open immediate t a l k s to normalize relations and communications between the two zones divided at the 17th Parallel. A North Vietnamese spokesman called the Saigon proposal "obviously a deceptive maneuver designed to conceal from world public opinion that t h e Saigon administration continues to violate the provisions of the peace agreement." Le Due Tho arrived in Paris during the day from Hanoi for new talks scheduled to begin Thursday with Henry A. Kis-

Financial Wizard, Founder Of IOS, Arrested For Fraud

Farming Sounds May Be Hushed By Lack Of Fuel By PETER BKAESTRUP Washington Post-L. A . T i m e s Service

WASHINGTON — Across the country's Food Belt, already battered by floods, farm fuel shortages threaten to idle tractors and s i l e n c e irrigation pumps. The shortages, which easily could lead to h i g h e r food prices, are cropping up despite a newly a n n o u n c e d set of N i x o n Administration voluntary guidelines for oil companies that gives f a r m e r s top priority in allocation of gasoline and diesel fuels. In Des M o i n e s , Charles Steen, a state Farm Bureau cooperative official, said the fuel situation in Iowa was real tight. "We are living month by month. Only unseasonably wet weather, curbing normal field cultivation, had delayed a serious crisis for Iowa corn growers," he said.

A p o l i c e spokesman said Cornfeld's arrest on charges of fraud, abetting speculation and mismanagement " a r e connected with the entire complex question of IOS." He declined to discuss the case in detail.

Held in Vice President Spiro A g n e w ' s office, the session produced some lively discussion. Representing the Administration were Simon Darrell Trent, acting director of the Office of Emergency Preparedness, and Stephen Wakefield, assistant secretary of interior. S i m o n assured Curtis and the other senators, including G e o r g e McGovern, D-S.D.; J a m e s B. Pearson, R-Kan., and Clifford Hansen, R-Wyo., that he would at once clear an allocation plan with Treasury Secretary G e o r g e P. Shultz that w o u l d give priority to farmers.

He said the Geneva magistrate's court will consider the case Wednesday morning.

On Sunday, Sen. Carl Curtis, R-Neb., a leading figure in Senate moves to force stronger Administration a c t i o n , declared that the Nixon fuel plan was a failure. "The Administration's voluntary fuel allocations plan is not working," he said. "A mandatory plan is necessary." Amid official predictions of a s u m m e r fuel shortage, Congress granted President Nixon authority to allocate fuels — among farmers, public transportation, utilities and other Utey users — on April 30. Administration officials warned motorists to cut down on their driving, and several major oil companies in advertisements urged that motorists l i m i t speeds to SO miles an hour to save gas. On May 2, Deputy Treasury Secretary William E. Simon said the Administration was reluctant to apply government controls to fuels or interfere with private enterprise. On May 4, Curtis, joined by s e n a t o r s from seven other farm states where spotty fuel shortages h a v e cropped up, asked Administration officials to show up with an allocation plan at a meeting on Capitol Hill May 8.

Volunteers Give Know-How By MARTHA HUNTLEY Special To Tlie Observer

Almost e v e r ' y o n e knows about the Peace Corps, but how many people are aware of another, golden-age group of v o l u n t e e r executives and millionaires? T h i s is the International E x e c u t i v e Service Corps UESC), founded in 1964 by David Rockefellow, which has been a c t i v e in 56 countries around the world.

The Hendersons have lived in m a n y interesting places. "Perhaps the most interesting was in a 2,000-year-old village in Iran with a new textile plant," Henderson says. "You know, Iran used to be Persia. Just before going there, we saw some beautiful SOO-yearold rugs, real masterpieces of art, in the Metropolitan Museum. In this little village, we found people still making Persian rugs, about the same way, mostly in their homes."

The golden years tag doesn't apply IO much to the ages of the volunteers, most of whom are retired, highly successful businessmen, as it dof s to their years of experience a n d know-how.

Methodist Women Honor Nancy Akers

By GRACE HAMRICK Observer Society writer

ree's sister, Mrs. Paul Allen, were among the special guests in addition to all former ministers of the church.

Mrsi James J. Akers, who has her fingers in many Christian pies, was surprised Monday to find herself the honoree at what she thought was just the regular spring luncheon for the United Methodist Women of Myers Park United Methodist Church. A c c o r d i n g to party chairman Margaret Knox, plans have been under way for some time, but all the women kept the secret from Mrs. Akers or "Miss Nancy," as she is called by many. During the party Mrs. Akers, who is 82 years young, heard a program entitled "This Is Your life, Nancy Akers" during which church members told of her many works in the community. Mrs. W. Aubrey Davis described her early years in the Women's Society. Mrs. Akers was president of the Women's Missionary Society, as it was called in 1927. Mrs. James F. Millroy told of her work with Contact and Miss Lucy Gist talked about the honoree's work at the Bethlehem Center. Mrs. G. Scott Francis told of her work with the missions and the Red Cross before Mrs. Henry E. Fisher told of her many hours spent with the Church Women United. Mrs. Jack F, Patton told of her trip to the United Nations, and Rev. R. Erman Bradley told of her work with Best Years Club. Mrs. C. C. Herbert Jr. was narrator. Dr. A. Mitchell Faulkner, senior minister, presented her with an honorary life membership pin. She also received a book containing the speeches and messages used in the program and a gardener's prayer plaque for the garden that she maintains for the church.

"It was a wonderful and fascinating trip," said Mrs. William A. Bowles of Sunbury Lane of her recent 10-day vacation in our 50th state. She and her husband went to Hawaii on a flip sponsored by her alma mater, Mary Washington College. "We stayed at Waikiki Beacn and also enjoyed touring Oahu, Maui, Kauai and a cruise to Pearl Harbor."

One surprise participant was Charlotte Police Officer J. E. Russ, who said he felt "right at home" at the luncheon. In the skit he played the role of a policeman who followed Mrs. Akers home one evening to caution her about careless driving. Before the officer could say a word, however, she thanked him for protecting old ladies and disappeared into her house. The honoree's children, Mrs. J. Mason Wallace Jr. Mrs. Hugh Cathey and J. J. Akers Jr., and the hono^

Mr. and Mrs. Chris A. Shelpuk of Westhaven, Conn., spent the weekend here with Mr. and Mrs. Paul S. Jones, who moved the first of the month into a new home they have bought at 3318 Colony Road. Mrs. Shelpuk, the former Sybil Nichols of Charlotte, was in the Joneses' wedding last year. The visitors, who went to Athens Ga., Monday, will stop here again Wednesday to stay overnight with the Charlotteans before heading north. • • * Mrs. Kenneth Jones of Mount Holly will give a 1 p.m. luncheon Wednesday at the Red Carpet Inn. The party will honor Ann McClintock, who will marry Bill Coffey Jr. on May 26. Ann will be honored at another luncheon Saturday given by Sallye {Mrs. Channing) Richards and her mother, Mrs. Fred Tathwell #•» who will have the party at Sallye's home, 1779 Sterling Road, at 11 ajm.

Mother Gives Her Hiccu<

Cailin DEAR ANN LANDERS: Our son is 24 years old. He began seeing a divorced woman who is 37, and looks every day of it. I was sure the affair would blow over and said nothing to indicate my disapproval A few weeks ago they ann o u n c e d their engagement, which was a shock to both my husband and me. This woman is only five years younger than I am, Ann. Need I to tell you how I felt when she started to c a l l me "Mother" the day a f t e r the engagement was announced? Last night she c a l l e d me "Mother" four times during dinner. It ruined my appetite and I got the hiccups during the meal, w h i c h added to my embarrassment. My husband seemed to think it was funny. I could have killed him.

I fed terribly tarry for her, or for ANY wife who is 100 per cent certain her husband will never stray because she's a hot number and ' i i e i r s e x is great, of course, she may be right, if she's lucky enough

to have a mature spouse. But usually the men are not so mature. It's a shock for a middleaged woman to discover that the old boy is stashing girlie magazines and s t a g movies and bringing h o m e noveltystore tricks to rev up his sex life. After the shock wears off she figures that if thousands of people are getting their jollies out of these t h i n g s , maybe they are n o r m a l and she's nuts. Finally she goes to a psychiatrist (where her h u s b a n d really ought to be) and learns that she's O.K. but he is stuck back there at the 12-to-M-yearold level. She then has two choices. She can either dump him, or

she can be a loving and a patient wife and hope her feelings stay alive while he works t h r o u g h his sexual adolescence. She then admits to herself that nobody changes anybody. Everybody has to change himself. And that is the beginni»« of wisdom. — I'M TALKING ABOUT US, DEAR DEAR TALKING: T r u e r words were never spoken.

REESE CLEGHORN

Now The CIA How Much Is It Damaged?

It appears that the CIA's involvement in this mess was brief and that it drew back after some of the implications became clear. We say "appears." The truth is that no one knows whether the White House involved the CIA in other illegal actions. What is on record is the testimony of Howard Hunt, a White House agent who has been convicted in the Watergate case, that the CIA provided cameras, disguises and false papers for the Ellsberg burglary. He has stated that he met with CIA agents in Washington to connive at this and had a "sterile" CIA phone number, an unlisted number, to maintain contact for further aid. This was no l o w - l e v e l contact worked out by a low-level White House consultant with low-level CIA p e o p l e . Egil Krogh, a ranking White House official,' has admitted he approved the burglary mission. He says he was told by President Nixon, in the presence of John Ehrlichman, to get on with his investigation of the Ellsberg-Pentagon p a p e r s m a t t e r . And he says Ehrlichman approved "covert activity" to look into Ellsberg's psychiatric record. Further, the money' for expenses came, he says, from Charles Colson of the White House, who did not ask what it was being used for. When the highest-level White House authority was needed at one juncture, Ehrlichman apparently called Gen. Robert Cushman, then deputy director of the CIA and now commandant of the Marine Corps, to urge him to give Krogh and Hunt the assistance they wanted. Cushman, who appears to be a general with good political credentials in the White

House, complied. The CIA involvement was ended five weeks later. It is not clear why. We need to know why. This episode cannot be dismissed as merely evidence that Gen. Cushman was a weak man, easily conned by a White House political operative. It should be e s t a b l i s h e d whether there was CIA involvement in other illegal activities. And we should know to what extent it, like the Federal Bureau of Investigation, has been compromised by the Nixon Administration. Even before the latest revelations Sen. William Proxmire warned, on April 10, against the CIA's "engaging in Watergate-type activity to d o w n g r a d e our democratic system." That expression of concern has turned out to be frighteningly well grounded In recent months there has been s p e c u l a t i o n among people informed about the CIA that the Nixon organization was "politicizing" the agency. As the new director, James Sdilesinger seemed to be bent upon changes that lent credence to that view. Now Mr. Sehlesinger has been nominated for secretary of defense, and the CIA is again due for a change at the top. The CIA, like the FBI, must be removed from the influence of self-serving political operators of the kind who have severely damaged them during the Nixon Administration. And the blame for what is happening to those agencies does not stop in the White House. Why have not the Senate and House committees that are supposed to oversee the CIA's work done so effectively? That is a question that badly needs answering. Three House and Senate subcommittees involved in CIA oversight are stirring into action; Sen. John McClellan's subcommittee on intelligence operations — notably lax in the past in its duties — seems to be leading the way now in reaction to the latest disclosures. The full Senate and House should see to it that the CIA receives better oversight — and better protection against political agents who want to use it to further their unsavory ends.

Mr. Butz's Attack On Sen. Ervin Agriculture Secretary Earl B u t z ' s remarks at a press conference here Sunday suggest that the Nixon Administration has gone on the attack about Watergate. The Administration seems to have decided that it should begin discrediting Sen. Sam J. Ervin and bis committee even before their Watergate hearings begin. Secretary Butz lit into the Ervin committee, charging that it would conduct a "political inquisition." He suggested that Sen. Ervin, who must run for reelection next year, was a "publicityseeking" senator who could call off the inquiry if he wanted to. He charged also that the "glare" of publicity from the S e n a t e Watergate investigation would prejudice the case against any of those who are formally charged. The facts are quite different. First, Sen. Ervin is anything but a "publicityseeking" senator. The Watergate investigation forced him to call only the third press conference of his long Senate career. He does not even have a press secretary on his staff. His office mails out no press releases. In fact, for years reporters on Capitol Hill have found Sen. Ervin all but oblivious of reporters. Of-

ten when they wanted him — and when another senator would be making the most of a situation — he was off in the Senate law library, reading. The committee he heads was appointed by the Senate and authorized to conduct an inquiry. Sen. Ervin did not seek the chairmanship; he was appointed because of his background as a judge, his reputation for fairness and his work on committees which have delved into related matters. The senator could not call off the investigation; only the Senate could. Sen. Ervin h i m s e l f has worried about the prejudicial effects of his committee's work. He has said publicly that his committee would call no witnesses who were under indictment by the federal grand jury, hearing evidence in the case. The ranking Republican on the Ervin committee, Sen. Howard E. Baker, RTenn., has said that under Sen. Ervin's leadership the investigation so far has been as "non-partisan" as it could be. Sen. Baker repeated that assessment on television Sunday. So what is Secretary Butz trying to do in making these comments in Sen. Ervin's home state?

Aftermath Of The Ellsberg Case It is regrettable that the Pentagon Papers trial ended without resolving the basic issue: To what extent can the government classify information without infringing on the people's right of know? In the charges brought against Dr. Daniel Ellsberg and Anthony Russo, the government sought to extend its control over information to an unprecedented degree. Whether the jury would have defeated this power grab with a verdict of not guilty is not known. However, the conduct of the government, concerning this case, as well as testimony given, shows that the government already has too much-power and uses classification without a proper regard for the people's right to know. Of course, Judge Matthew Byrne had little choice but to dismiss the case. The trial had become contaminated by a string of bizarre revelations, including the burglary of Dr. Ellsberg's psychiatrist's office at the instigation of the White House and with the CIA's help. In fact, the 89day trial ended last week with evidence that the Administration's misconduct far exceeded that charged to the defendants. But what can be said about the evidence offered during the trial? A central contention of the Administration was that the release of the Pentagon's Vietnam war study to the press harmed the national security. Thus, the defendants were charged with espionage even though they never dealt with a for-

Chavez noted that Einar Mohn. the Teamsters Western Conference director, told the Los A n g e l e s Times after the yictory, that they plan no meetings of "-he membership for a b o u t two years. WHEN a s k e d about the Nixon Administration's contribution to his current crisis, Chavez said he couldnt prove it, but noted that it was the Nixon Administration that first got Fitzsimmons end the American Farni Bureau Administration ( t h e growers guild) together and played a p a r t in having Fitzsimmons invited to the Farm Bureau convention last December.

The 1947 congressional act creating the Central Intelligence Agency stated that it "shall have no police, subpoena or l*w enforcement power or internal security functions." The CIA has stepped over those bounds on occasion in the past, most notably when it secretly channeled money to the National Students Association. It now has been implicated in the burglary of the office of Daniel Ellsberg's psychiatrist.

eign power. On this point, many expert witnesses testified pro and con. Generally, these experts disagreed, but from what they said several conclusions can be drawn. One is that "national security*' is an imprecise and elastic concept used to cover a broad range of activities and information. Also, those who happen to be in power define the term more rigidly than those who are not. The primary reason those in power take this rigid view is because they want to control what information about their deeds the public sees. And so "national security" is often nothing more than a rug under which bureaucrats sweep their misdeeds and mistakes. There is evidence that the jury realized this. According to reports, a majority of the jurors favored acquittal when the case was dismissed. Yet the Administration persists in trying to abridge the people's' right to know. President Nixon has proposed an official secrets act that would make the unauthorized r e l e a s e , of public documents and their publication a crime. The United States has never had such a law. The classification of documents is done by executive order. Given what the public now knows about the Pentagon Papers trial and the Watergate scandal, the power sought in , such an official secrets act would seem to strike against democracy itself.

Traffic Engineers Do A Good Job In reply to Mr. Ed Bonham's Jab (Forom, May 10) at our traffic engineers, I would like to know what his qualifications are to criticize a professional staff that works hard to help the citizens of Charlotte move about our crowded streets more safely. Sure, we don't have enough freeways, but you cannot turn every street in town into a freeway just so Mr. Bonham can get to and from Matthews. As a tax-paying resident of our great city, I would like to i thank our traffic engineer and his efficient staff for the fine job they have done on their limited budget. Hiving driven in other cities such as New Orleans, Orlando/ and Honolulu within *e Past year, I will not corfrfP about our traffic any more. If Mr. Bonham wants to see some prfems, I would suggest thai lie drive a few days in these towns and he would learn to appreciate our traffic engineers. Washington traffic of the 3' 0s cannot be compared with Charlotte's traffic of the '70s. Charlotte and, its people get a lot of undue criticism from outsiders. If they don't pay the costs, why should they have a right to complain? They need more loyal citizens who will stand up and speak out for our fine city and less ecologists trying to tell us how we should live and g ro w. Sure, sane things need changing, but first let's get rid of Mr. Bonham's car and then we will not need the streets or the traffic engineers any more. ROBERT EARL STEPHENSON Charlotte

Yesil am a member of a minority heavily discriminated against and it's reason enough to break out the crying towel at particularly frustrating times.

Observer Raleigh Bureau

, It's g marvelously distracting subject to bring up, anywal, when one is being pressed to the wall for shortcomings of one kind or another. I am a member of that 10 per cent of the populace which it; reminded daily, if not hourly, that I am an outcast just because I am left-handed. The fact was first impressed upon me ln first grade with a pair of right-handed scissors. I was the last to turn in my cutout of a kitty-cat and if it resembled a kitty-cat at all it was a kitty-cat which looked as If it had been run through a sausage grinder. "Dummy-dum!" "Clumsy Kaysyi* That was the day I fervently prayed that someday the factory would make a mistake, produce only lefthanded scissors and leave me to glory in the misery of right-handed smarties in their attempts to use 'em. My prayers were, of course, in vain. Even God, it appears, is right-handed. A right-handed world has forever snickered at the "clumsiness" or "awkwardness" of left-handed people only because the right-handed world has never had to spend even one day challenged by left-handed canopeners, phone booths, power saws, starter pulls on lawn mowers, grass clippers, pencil sharpeners, cameras, adding machines, voting machines, musical instruments and scores of other implements. No right-hander ever has to give a thought about scrambling for a place at the end of the table to avoid bumping elbows. Three times a day .that's a concession lefties have to make, go hungry or incur the wrath of a right-hander whose fork is in danger of being jostled by a left elbow. Wrist watches? They're ail made for right-handers to wear on their left wrist. Ever see a watch made for a left-hander to wear on his right wrist? Watch the hand contortions necessary for a left-bander to wind the watch on his right wrist. But inconvenience isn't all of it. A left-hander can't even get married ln his own world. Right hands must be joined. He can't be true to himself taking the oath in court. He must hold the Bible in his left hand and raise his right hand. The other way 'round, it appears, would increase the chances of perjury. Worse than that, the southpaw is branded second class spiritually. Good men are called "righteous," never "lefteous." Only the Greeks have accorded us any degree of respect. Their word for "left-handed" is "Aristera" which means "the best." It's also a root word for "aristocrst." I'll have to remember that. It's the only balm left for a lefty in a right-handed household and a right-handed world.

Southern Send-Off Some unfortunate seizure, perhaps springtime dementia, has prompted Roy Paratore. our Lake Forest neighbor, to pack up his family and return to his native Syracuse, N.Y. This, in turn, prompted residents to pitch a party at which Roy was presented a Rebel flag while he was regaled with witty stories such as the one about the Italian kamikaze pilot who flew 43 missions. There was a touching tribute by Leon Treadway, who emotionally declared: "Of all the people we have ever met, the Paratores certainly were some of them." But Treadway also supplied the valedictory as he gave Roy and Ellen a message to take to Yankeeland. "They must be made to realise," said Leon, "that Lee never surrendered.

Youth, 16, Charged In Child's Strangling Prom Observer Wire and Staff Reports

COLUMBIA —A 16-year-old boy was charged Monday with murder in the strangulation of the 7-year-old daughter of the Presbyterian chaplain at the University of South Carolina. The partly clothed body of Clarinda Hammet, daughter of Rev. and Mrs. Jerry Hammet, was found Sunday night in a press box at the St. Andrews recreational center baseball park. Richland County Sheriff Frank Powell said the girl had been strangled with an athletic supporter. Herbert Wayne Jones, a resident of the St. Andrews area, was a r r e s t e d at bis home Monday morning, Powell said, and charged with murder. Powell said that he would ask a state court to commit J o n e s , held in the Richland County jail, to the South Carolina State Hospital for 30 days for mental observation. After Hammet notified the sheriffs office Sunday night that his daughter was missing, state and county law enforcement officers began a search of the area.

I Appalachian Gets A Grant To Try An Experiment By JIMMY DUMBELL Observer Staff Writer

Appalachian State University u p in Boone proved again t h e adage that if you get a good idea, and can convince t h e right people of its value, you can find money to p u t it into effect. Two years ago, u n d e r a federally funded program called Appalachian Training Complex, several ASU administrators and p r o f e s s o r s worked with eight county school systems to improve education at both levels, college and high school. C. Wayne Brad burn, Wilkes County superintende n t of schools, wondered if, by combining staffs t o some extent, t h e high schools and universities might not avoid duplication. The next year, ASU's then-director of s u m m e r sessions, Dennis Prisk, pushed the idea along with Dr. Ken Webb, dean of the general college. The result was a grant proposal. Theory was simil a r to the time-shortened degree programs being explored in some other parts of the country. Appalachian proposed dveloping a new curricul u m to combine t h e last year of high school with the first year of college. Specifically, it had t h r e e plans for doing this. In one, 60 rising high school seniors would e n t e r ASU on J u n e 16 this year, take freshman college courses. If they get a C average, the students would remain, come September, as ASU freshmen. In a second phase, another group of 60 high school seniors would enter ASU, instead of t h e 12th grade, in the fall. In a third experiment, a group of ASU faculty would work in two high schools and teach college freshman courses. Finally, these three groups would be compared to a control group of college freshm e n enrolled in regular sequence. "All other e x p e r i m e n t s have t a k e n only the brightest students," an ASU spokesman said. "This plan of o u r s cuts all across the spectrum." With their grant proposal in hand, ASU officials went a-calling for money. First angel they pitched to was t h e Carnegie Corporation of New York. Unusual good luck was theirs. They hit pay dirt on t h e first call to t h e t u n e of a $210,000 g r a n t Program begins in exectly a month. No commitments have been made yet, but ASU people are talking to school officials in Caldwell, Wilkes and Avery counties.

A Memorial To FDR? "I think it's time we had a big memorial of some kind to ranklin D. Roosevlt," said Hamlet's W.D! "Dr. Bill" James. "I'm not the person to do it. but I hope to stir u p some interest among the people who will get it going and p u t it across. I t ' i long enough now since he died for some of these politicians to be able to do something about it. I just hate to see some fly-by-night son capitalize on his father's perona life." Dr. Bill, whose home and offices are in Hamlei, practices medicine throughout Richmond County., H * is widely known in his county as a general practlntioner who alto performs minor surgical operations. But he is more widely Renown throughout North Carolina s t h e Democrat w h o r a n , in 1964, aganinst Charles Jonas for t h e House seat that Jonas won, and as a three-term state senator.

100 Protest Firing Of Band Director Associated Presl

EDENTON — Betwaen SO and 100 people m a r c h e d through Edenton Monday afternoon to p r o t e s t the dismissal of a high school band director, according to Police Chief John D. Parrish. National field secretary ot the Southern Christian Leaders h i p Conference in Atlanta, Don Woods, expressed concern that racial discrimination was a reason for the firing of John A. Holmes High School band director Richard Satterfield. S c h o o l S"»l»t. Edwin West announced recentfr that Satterfield, who has been band director In area schools for 18 years, will not be rehired be-

cause of ''incompetence, Insubordination, and his Inability to discipline student*." Woods said more than 1,000 students and teachers stayed away from school Monday "as a show of force to notify that power structure that the black community will no longer tolerate the racism and discrimination that exist in this community."

" / / 1 knew baseball was this enjoyable, I'd have been here ages ago."

S c h o o l officials could not confirm Woods' claim, however, saying the Edenton-Chowan school system keeps no centralized attendance records.

While you're enjoying life, enjoy your Age.

Chief Parrish said the march through the downtown section of Edenton was orderly and lasted "about 20 minutes."

Insurers Say Plan Isn't Fair

Continued From Page IB premiums so per cent for safe drivers. The $44 figure is a 30 per cent reduction from the current $63 minimum. "Available insurance experience makes it almost a certainty that the $44 premium would be inadequate and the schedule of surcharges under the plan would in many instances be excessive for the risk involved," said Mize. Mize said that because of tho excessive premiums for drivers with violations, Ingram's order would make insurance a "secondary system of penalties for traffic violations." "The cost of an insurance policy should relate to the potential cost of settling claims and should not be artifically inflated as a matter of punishm e n t for previous wrongdoing," said Mize. Because of the high rates, Mize said, many drivers would probably drive without liability coverage or would attempt to hide their driving from insurers. All but' two of the 30 largest insurance companies in the state joined in the suit. Travelers and Maryland Casualty did not join the suit because of previous legal commitments in other states.

Gaffney's Blanton Gets Ride In World 600 Although Billy Scott won the ride in Charlotte Motor Speedway's "Big Chance Special" Chevelle, C h a r l e y Blanton, runnerup in voting, will have a car to drive in the World 600 on May 27, too. Blanton's good fortune came following a comment by Scott and some fast work by Richard Howard, president of the speedway. Scott, of Union, S.C, drew 72,000 of the 333,421 votes cast while Blanton received 40,000. When Scott was declared win-

ner on May 8, he said if he had not won the chance to drive, he had hoped Blanton would. Upon hearing Scott's comment Howard started seeking another car for Blanton, this year's ARCA 300 winner at Daytona. Howard found Irving Welty's 72 Ford at the HutchersonPagan shop In Charlotte and arranged for Blanton to handle driving duties in the $175,335 NASCAR classic. The

Speedway's

president

and g e n e r a l manager concocted the voting contest as a means of providing a competitive car for some driver who had never won a big tracK race Fan response was enormous, with more than 100 drivers receiving votes. "It far exceeded anything we expected," conceded Howard. "Blanton's fans worked so hard for him, and Scott felt so strongly about his buddy getting to run, that we decided to find a racer for Charlie as well."

Blanton's car will give him a shot at a $10,000 bonus that has been posted for two Ford dealers if the winning car is a Ford. In the 1972 World 600, the car was d r i v e n by Dick Brooks, who turned in the fastest qualifying run on the final day of time trials with a 153 mph clocking.

Blanton will have a chance to get the feel of his new ride d u r i n g the Speedway's open house on S u n d a y afternoon (May 20). Others taking advantage of the early practice session will be Scott, sports car star Peter Gregg in the Cotton Owens Dodge, Dave Marcis in the AMC Matador and Larry S m i t h , who will check the Black Label Mercury that has been repaired following the 15car Talledaga wreck several days ago.

QB Berry Is Traded For 2 Vets

Art Of Hustling THAT WAS an artful thing Bobby Riggs did to Margaret Court on the tennis court. He not only beat her playing tennis but he outfoxed her. Riggs, 55, looks like he'd have a difficult time destroying a donut. He mesmerized Mrs. Court, much like a criminal lawyer handling an unsure witness. Bobby coaxed her into making mistakes. That was not Margaret Court against Riggs. It as Riggs playing super hustler and con man against a slightly bewildered lady. In fact, his strategy resembled Chris Evert in action. Keep the big swingers in the back court. Play the lines. Spin the ball. -*• + • RIGGS IS A HUSTLER and hustler* don't play to be embarrassed. Bobby Riggs, in one form or another, shows up everywhere. Its like a fellow traveler once said of Titantic Thompson, the now seventyish king of the con men. This guy remarked: "If Titanic says he can toss a key into a keyhole from 10 feet, don't bet him. He's found a way."

The Odd license Gag THOMPSON, now living in Texas and presumably gone honest, once stood on a New York sidestreet with a fellow gambler. "Let's bet on something," suggested Titanic. "You name it," said the guy, looking for action. "Well," said Thompson, "I'll bet you $100 within (he next two minutes a car • ill come around the corner with a South Dakota license plate." "A good b e t , " said the gambler. T h i r t y seconds later he paid off. An Indian driving a beat-up DeSoto had rounded the corner and stopped to ask for directions. He l a t e r got paid off by Titank.

GOLF HUSTLERS abound. Y o u ' l l find them on every course, name your city. They are usually quite generous in giving strokes on holes they, know their opponent can't reach in two strokes. They call them even holes. They figure they can halve the hole at worst. The three-day golf hustler is a vampire. He allows his pigeon to win for two days. Modest bets, of course. On the third day he has instilled the proper confidence in his duck. He can take a bundle.

Luck And Playing Cards THERE ARE bridge hustlers and gin rummy sharks. They know their games and they usually possess uncanny memories. Give them the lead, perhaps by spilling a card on the deal or by a flick of a hand or a tip, and they can maneuver their strategy. The late Clayton Heafner was far better in the locker room with a gin deck than on the course. And he was Ryder Cup material. The late Jake Thomas could account for every card and discard in a gin game. His mind worked in card combinations. Anyone who consider himself lucky in cards should play an expert. Lack against a good card player won't last through the first cup of coffee. * • • ,THE POOL ROOM, sometimes called cue lounge, depending upon the location, harbors some gentle people. Good players are anxious for challengers. One caper used is to find a sucker and heap praise upon him. Just to make it right, the veteran player agrees to shoot a game of 61 from the one ball up. The opponent will be allowed to start with the 15 and work down. •The trick is to English the cue ball away from the higher numbers, leaving impossible shots, while picking off the low ones. The underdog doesn't stand a chance although he needs only five high balls to win.

On Lifting Horseshoes MOST HUSTLERS ARE likable. Take Riggs. He hat won at Wimbledon and at Forest Hills. He gained fame the hard way. His fortune has come easier. Time Magazine reports that one man, who enjoys the company of Riggs, sets aside $10,000 each year to lose to him.' It recalls the story of the city slicker who was stopping over in a small western town. He had never seen a blacksmith at work and was fascinated. "What's he doing?" asked the slick. "He's trying to hammer the weight out of those horseshoes." said the town hustler, realizing the shoes had lost their coloring but were still red hot. "Ain't a man around here who can lift one of them with one hand." "Bet you," challenged the slick. With that he grabbed the red hot shoe, got it six inches in the air and dropped it with a scream. "How come you didn't lift it higher?" laughed the hustler. "Heck," said the slick, "ain't no point in taking all day to lift a little oi'.horseshoe."

The Hollywood producer who put Sunday's package together, Jackie Barnett, reportedly is laying the groundwork for a series of such c h a l l e n g e matches between former

champion men, now in the senior division, and top women performers. He is talking of a 12-city tour in which Riggs and f o r m e r Grand Slammer Don Budge would alternate against Mrs. Court and Mrs. King, later pairing in a doubles match. "I have M a d i s o n Square Garden committed," Barnett said.

Mrs. K i n g , who this past week won the first woman's professional tennis tournament ever held in Japan, said she feels that she has "more to prove" now that Riggs has beaten Mrs. Court. "I thrive on pressure more than Margaret," she said. "I'd just like to have my chance. I'm not too happy about what happened." Mrs. King said she feels the o u t c o m e of the Riggs-Court match gives the public a poor impression of the difference between men's and women's tournaments.

"l'm\ really looking forward to it," he said. "I've got two exhibitions, but I'm not going to be playing in a tournament." Did he harbor any ill feelings about that 18th hole, the one that twice has cost him the title in this tournament. The first time was in 1962 when he pumped one in the lake for a double bogey, a shot that since has caused the pond to be named "Crampton's Lake." "It's a beautiful golf hole," Crampton s a i d . "It requires two good s h o t s." Then he paused and smiled. "You're not going to get me to say anything bad about a golf hole that's got my name on it."

Berry did a l m o s t all the quarterbacking for the Falcons last fall during a 7-7 season. Sullivan completed only three of 19 passes. Shiner, an 11-year veteran who was formerly the backup quarterback, stayed on the taxi squad. Madeya is a rookie from Louisville. "The big question mark on our football club is the quarterback position," Van Brocklin was quoted recently in a Falc o n s prospectus. "Since the Falcons have progressed past the expansion stage, the only way to judge a quarterback is by asking, can he win the championship or can he not?" Van Brocklin went on to say, in the prospectus, "We consider Pat (Sullivan) to be a strong candidate for the No. 1 job at quarterback . . ." Lee, a four-year veteran who threw only six passes last fall as backup quarterback to Fran Tarkenton, said Monday that he played out his option at Minnesota because "I didn't see where I had any future playing behind Tarkenton." He viewed signing with Atlanta as "a great opportunity for me to win a starting job." Berry began his career with Minnesota when Van Brocklin was coaching there. Now he finds himself in the same position he was in during the 196566-67 seasons when he played little for the Vikings. Warwick, a MO-pound, eightyear veteran, said he played oat his option with the Vikings, "because I couldn't work out a contract with (Minnesota general manager) Jim Finks." "We've got several good linebackers and got a n o t h e r good one today," s a i d Van Brocklin, who originally signed Warwick as a free agent with the Vikings in 1964. "Whenever you can get a quality football player, you get him, regardless of position."

Berry ranked second in the NFC and fourth in the NFL in passing last season when he completed 154 of 277 for 2,158 yards and 13 touchdowns. "We need improvement in our passing game other than completion percentages," Van Brocklin said in the prospectus. In his four seasons with the V i k i n g s , part of 1971 as a starter after Joe Kapp left the team and b e f o r e Tarkenton returned, Lee completed 95 of 186 passes for 1,362 yards and nine touchdowns. "We k n o w what Lee can do," Van Brocklin said. "After all, he beat us several times."

Crampton, a long-time iron man on the tour playing week after week, now says he plans to take a two-week break from the tour that he has dominated this year.

"We felt we had to make a change at the quarterback position," Van Brocklin said. "We plan to look at Sullivan, Lee (Dick) S h i n e r and (John) Madeya. We feel we have the boys who are going to be adequate quarterbacks for us."

Warwick was plagued by a knee injury the past two seasons but said his knee "is now 100 per cent sound. I've been doing special exercises about an hour a day to strengthen my knee. A club needs 40 players to win a championship and I feel the Falcons have room for another linebacker."

Fishing Available At Bulls Island SCATTERGTJNNING the outdoors: E n j o y discovering "exotic" new places to fish? South Carolina has a dandy such location waiting for anglers who do. A c c o r d i n g to the S.C. Wildlife Department, a series of fresh water ponds on Bulls Island — in the Cape Romain National Refuge near Awendaw — have been opened to public fishing. The largest of the ponds, Jacks Creek, was stocked with 25,000 largemouth bass several months ago; Other ponds, in something of a jungle-like setting, are populated by brea .m Burkett Neely, m a n a g e r of the Cape Romain Refuge has this advice for fishermen tempted to try this different type of angling:

Jimmy Gaskins of Denton, running in an American Power Boat Association event last weekend at Utica, N.Y., recorded a speed of 104.3 m,pJL in the flying quarter mile. That b e t t e r e d the old mark of 101.7, which Gaskins also held. Gaskins was piloting a superstock boat with a ski boat hull powered by a

"There are no boats for rent on the I s l a n d , so fishermen must take their own. Most of the few people fishing over there use a large boat to get to the Island and tow a small boat for use in the ponds. They anchor the large boat off from the impoundment and go in over the dike. " F i s h i n g on Bulls Island lasts through Sept. 30, when the ponds are closed. This is because thousands of waterfowl use the area for winter feeding, which is the purpose of the Refuge. "Fireamrs are not allowed on the Refuge nor are gasoline boat motors. Camping is not allowed and boats must be removed from the Island after use." • * • CAROLINA offshore fishing is rapidly reaching a spring peak, according to coastal sources. Boats out of practically all ports brought back excellent catches of king mackerel last weekend. Included in the action was a Charlotte party —Ed, Bob and Mike Greth and Gene Gantt — who caught 19 kings weighing over 200 pounds, plus three big bonito. They were a n g l i n g aboard Capt. Larry Long's "Blackfish" out of little River, S.C. Bottom fishing is p r o d u c i n g equally as well as trolling, with several captains reporting catches of over a ton.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — The host pro said Monday that defending champion Lee Trevino w o u l d be the man to beat again in the Danny Thomas Memphis Classic golf tournament, but he said Trevino and everyone else who played here last year will be in for a surprise. The Colonial Country Club course will play longer than it did in 1972 because it won't be as dry and there is more grass on the fairways, s a y s Bert Weaver. Weaver added that he golfers last year had the benefit of unusual north winds while the prevailing wind at Colonial is from the south—in the golfers' faces most of the time. His advice to the 144-man field that tees up Thursday in the o p e n i n g round of the $175,000 event —"Most of the time take one more club than you think it is — it's decept i v e , ' ' Weaver said. "It's shorter looking than it actually is." Weaver picks Trevino over the rest of the field—which will be without such names as Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer, Gary Player—because the course is tailor-made for Trevino's fade, a left to right movement of the ball. Most of the holes have doglegs to the right.

CLEMSON, S. C. — Clemson basketball coach Tates Locke announced Monday night that Wayne Rollins, a 7-1, 215-pound high school All-America from Crisp County High School in Cordele, Ga, has signed a basketball grant-in-aid. The signing of Rollins ended an extended recruiting battle among more than 150 colleges and universities. Rollins, one of the most highly «>ught after players in the nation, narrowed his selection to Clemson, Florida State, Auburn and Kentucky before choosing the Tigers. He averaged 27.5 points and pulled down 20.5 rebounds per game last season, leading Crisp County to a 21-3 mark and to the finals of the state tournament.

All good teams like Garinger are strong up the middle, and since the Wildcats supply the battery, they might as well supply a centerfielder. Brad Bradshaw is one of the most hotly pursued talents in the area. He hits at near .500, a figure that a l m o s t overshadows his ability to field (when Little and Barkley allow balls to reach the o u t f i e l d , of course). Bradshaw has a good arm, good speed, and, obviously, there's his bat. Joining him in the outfield are North Mecklenburg's Ronnie F e r r e 11 and Harding's Steve Brisson. F e r r e 11 has done everything but pitch for North, and the philosophy is that if it's hit in the outfield, Ferrell can catch it. He also is batting an incredible .519, according to North coach Bill Ross. Speed on the bases and clutch ability make him another of the top prospects this season.

TOKYO - Prime Minister Kakuei Tanaka's government faces a considerable difficulty in seeking the conclusion of a commercial air t r e a d y with China, Kyodo news a g e n c y said Sunday. The hawks within the party are opposed outright to the conclusion of the air accord at the expense of scrapping the existing regular commercial flights between Taiwan and Japan. The Peking government has said it does not want its aircraft parked side by side with those from Taiwan, claiming that Nationalist China is part of its territory and that Japan took n o t e of her contention when the two nation estab1 i s h e 4 diplomatic ties last year.

HOWYOU COULD MAKE MONEY ON A STOCK WITHOUT BUYING IT Call Hornblower and ask us about trading Call Options on the new Chicago Board Options Exchange. A Call Option reserves you a specific stock at a specified price for a specified period. All you pay is a small premium. During that period you watch the option. If it goes up, the Exchange intends to provide a market in which you can sell your options at a profit. If it goes down, you probably will be able to sell it to •minimize your loss. T h e very 'most you'll lose is your ;premium. Want to know more? Come to a Hornblower seminar on options trading.

AT WIT'S END

You Can Feel Truth At Back Of Your Neck THAT I personally could put an end to droughts by washing my picture window on the outside. Maybe you have no h a r d - c o r e statement of facts to back up the crawling feeling of the hairs on your neck, but anyone would be a fool to tempt fate and take a chance.

By ERMA BOMBECK Dr. Bergen Evans, humorist, author, and lecturer In the department of English at Northwestern University, confided in one of his speeches that he held an inherent belief that God would never strike him down in a plane if he were riding in first class. It comforted me enormously to hear him say that because I hold a lot of Irrational, unexplained theories that I know to be true because I feel them on the hair on my neck. I know that all die 8s are childless and that if they ultimately were to give birth, they too would be unable to get out of deep chairs and wear bikinis without a coat. ALSO THAT Paul Newman never bleeds when he shaves, Jackie Onassis never has bad breath and Miss America never sweats. It is written someERMA where that the minute I take down my ironing board, my heart will stop beating and my life will be over. That women with long fingernails never make meat loaf and have husbands who make over $50,000 a year. That my dog is laughing (so highly bitched that only other dogs can hear him) when he sees me come out of the fchower.

Who among you would face the back of an elevator just to be cote? Who would rip the tags off of pillows and chairs when you know ln your heart it would place you in mortal sin? Who would dare ignore an airline hostess when she is telling you about your supply of oxygen and points of exit? FRANKLY, have you the guts to tell an a p p l i a n c e what you really think of it, or somewhere in the small of your mind is there a nagging that they are little people from another planet who are just waiting to "take over." It is obvious (and has been from the beginning) that coat hangers are bisexual and will not control their reproduction cycles until we are all dispossessed from our homes by them. And I also know as well as I am sitting here that a mother who goes on a field trip to the stockyards with 43 second graders will have a divine death without pain. I have to believe that.

YOUR GOOD HEALTH

Mono Is 'Kissing Disease According to recent studies, infectious mononucleosis is, indeed, the "kissing disease." After an attack of mono, the causative Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is found in the back of tht throat for a long time. This may explain why the disease occurs in hygenically poor surroundings in early childhood and is postponed until adolescence or later among those in high economic levels. Tests show that many people have had the disease early int life and have dev»bped eve r l a s t i n g immunity. Mono m a k e s another appearance among students in hospitals, high school and college. For example, e v e r y year, the health s e r v i c e s of our larger universities take care of 100 to 1,000 s t u d e n t s with mono. It is not highly contagious, as it seldom develops in mojp than one roommate and rarely involves an entire dormitory. Apparently, student immunity is a result of mild attacks that occurred during childhood and were mistaken for a cold. Kissing wag blamed in the observations at West P o i n t because so often die disease developed 15 to 30 days afler Christmas and spring vacations. No doubt smooching and necking were more common d u r i n g holidays when army cadets were on leave.

DEAR BEN: D o n ' t panic. What you're feeling is a mixture of gratitude, hero worship, physical attraction and friendship. Someone watched over you to t time of real need, and that's a very bonding experience. You felt snug and secure is his embrace, and you're reluctant to lose that warmth and closeness. O n c e you understand how wide your palette oi feelings are for the guy, you can decide which to encourage ard which to let fade. Obvkssly he's not going to want to carry you around as a pseudo son, and he's probably not interested in a gay relationship.

You fulfilled the letter of our agreement by taking me to the prom, but you weren't really there because of the booze and all. What do you think is fair in this situation?" Personally, if he rented a tux, bought flowers and covered gas costs, I think you might reimburse him half that outlay and thus buy your freedom from the; typing commitment. — Ele.

H & Y BLANCH, BKlN&MSA, QUART OF TTlBHSCO SAUCE!

By HtA G. CORN JR. Don Meredith, former fiery quarterback of the D a l l a s Cowboys, was a considerable force in bringing a new expansion team to the tpp of the National F o o t b a l l League standings in the late '60s. Meredith is still with football and now provides the "folksy" and highly popular portion of the Monday night TV pro football series. In his early days as quarterback Meredith found himself in tight situations rather often. He learned quickly and instinctively to avoid many potential quarterback sacks. Witness how he applied this experience to find the only way to land today's slam contract.

honors; however, that's a ticklish situation in any bidding system. West led the club 10 which was won by Meredith's ace. Since there was no way to avoid losing to the spade ace, Meredith's only concern was to find the way to avoid the loss of a trump trick. Some players faced with this herculean task (it is decidedly against the odds) see no way out of the situation and reduce the agony by conceding whatever trump tricks the defense has coming. These players are happy to get out for down one. They've already had enough of the hand and want to get at the next deal.

Spotlight COMMON SENSE FAILS

Without Nose Count, Chattooga May Capture Other Prisoners The ever - rolling stream is still bearing sons away . . . The Chattooga River is holding Charles Ritch, 21, late of Atlanta. Charles was with a rafting party that attempted to run through the narrows a week ago Sunday.

Dot Jackson

The rescue squad has given up staying on the river all day looking. It put a net across the river above U. S. 76 bridge and checks it every few hours. Joe Terrell, canoeist and Sierra Clubber, was in • » the search. 'Tve been running that river six or seven years and the traffic on it has increased 10-fold," he says. "These guys come In there with their cut-off blue jeans and T-shirts thinking they can do anything. It's worse since the weather broke. "I pulled four dentists out of there once who had Just happened to be In Clayton, Ga., for a convention and they decided all of a sudden to get a raft and go for a r i d e . . . " One raft, and nobody to see when they toppled. Aad a mighty long way to the "beach" — like maybe a hundred feet straight up. "The reason I'm saying all this is something needs to be done. We were up running the James the other day, and you can't just go get on it. You do that and you get arrested." Which brings to mind an awful point. Having for.ever been without some kind of mandatory check-in, check-out system, the Chattooga may hold other prisoners, the young who thumb up to a getting-in place, inner tube on arm, or air mattress on head, and aimply disappear. Congress has yet to act on taking the river into the Wild and Scenic system. When that happens, rules are bound to be made. May the angels prevail, where common sense fails, until that comes to pass. Some angels, happily noted, have been hard at work. Ervin Jackson has just been in here, the weekend sailor, rather paddler, returned. Last time I was vrer the 76 bridge I stopped and drank some Sego and dropped upon the ripples a Dixie cup of mountain phlox and a dogwood, just in case, in my absence, I had missed some bad news. Ervin is the one who sold four rides down the Chattooga at the Country Day School auction. There was a fifth high bidder. A father. Who wanted to go himself. All survived — "The water was high and the

weather was clear and it was perfect," says Erv. It is the worry of those whB think of these things, though, whether the river wfll survive. Says Joe Terxell, "That area can't stand the influx of people.1* Says Ervin, "It's ironic that the river has had to be nearly ruined in order to be saved..." He is counting on passage of the Scenic Rivers bill to do the saving. And let's say, not only of the river, but hopefully, of l i v e s . . . .

Flower Worshipers Blossom From the boaters to the buttercup brigade. . . If you get this far-away look in your eye when the tick trefoil is in blossom, if you breathe heavy at the sight of a whorled pogonia (Jackie White writes that she knows where they are!), then take note. The North Carolina Wildflower Preservation Society is meeting at Brevard May 19 and 20. The first get-together, is at 2 p.m. at Berry's Restaurant, followed by a trip to the Charles Moore farm.

Cross Tells How Much Man Worth By BILLY GRAHAM I have been wondering about how much man is worth. I mean intrinsically. Some chemist suggested about $2 considering the' amount of Iron, aid. phur, lime, etc, in the body. De you have any figures on this? — H.P.Y. Estimates of our chemical worth are really of little value. N o t h i n g demeans or diminishes a person more than expressing humanity in- terms of chemistry or biology. If it's dollars you're interested in, however, consider a man's atomic worth. I read recently where from an atomic energy standpoint man theoretically has a potential of 11,400.000,000 kilowatt hours per pound. At the current rate that means value over $500 million per pound. But the most accurate and touching story about the worth of man is the parable our Lord told about the sheep on the mountain. Ninety-nine of the 100 sheep were all right, but the single lost one was provocative of the Shepherd to seek it out. In Matthew 12:12, Jesus asked, "How much more valuable is a p e r s o n than a sheep?" Take a look at the cross, and you'll see how much man is worth. Paul said in (Romans 5), "But God showed His great love" for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners."

Senior Forum By PAUL HIGHTOWER Q — My husband had a p arisen ship in a small but well-paying business concern. After he died, his partner informed me that under their contract with each other, the surviving partner had the right to take the business, paying heirs oft the deceased • reasonable price for his share. He named a figure that is ridiculous and I have refused to accept it. What do I do next? — Mrs P.W.C. A — Go talk to a local lawyer He probably would ask first that the surviving partner produce the contract showing his right to take over. Then he might want to see an impartial appraisal of the worth of the business After that he'd likely suggest that you accept one-half of the appraised value. Partners in business frequently^

exchange contracts allowing the survivor to take over the business. Sometimes they take oat life insurance policies on each other to make sure money will be available to pay off the heirs of the deceased. Wives drop their candy when they don't insist on knowing about their husbands' business affairs. Most husbands are willing to give the information. But most wives dont bother to 'ask. When the husband is on a salary it is fairly easy for a wife to find out what the salary is. And if he makes out jotet income tax returns she has ah opportuity, and also a duty, to find out where his money comes from. A private business or a partnership is tougher. at your question can be answered in this space, send it in.)
