New Fork.—A number of the
nation's leading publishers inter
viewed here yesterday say they
have faith in President Eisenhow
er’s handling of the Formosa
crisis.
The publishers also said they
believe the United States should
not become involved in a war over
the offshore islands of Quemoy
and Matsu. Some publishers.
. however, advised a “tough stand”
' on the issue.
A majority of the publishers
said they favor talks with the Chi
nese Communists on the Far East
ern crisis but advised caution.
The publishers were interview
ed by the New York Times and
the New York Herald Tribune as
I they arrived for Newspaper Week,
; which opens today.
Most of the publishers reported
a continuing popularity of Presi
dent Eisenhower in their respec
tive areas and a healthy economic
picture.

City Bond Election
Set For May 31st
Tuesday, May 31, has been set
as the date for the election on the
proposed $200,000 bond issue, the
proceeds of which will be used to
rebuild the city’s electric power
system.
City council set the date at its

Included in the resolution call

istration certificate and city tax
receipts for 1964 before voters can

Two voting precincts will be

In the process of paying off a
maturing issue of $135,000 in bonds

weeks, awaiting the maturity date
on government bonds on July 6,
which are owned by the sinking
fund, and also the end of the in
terest date on June 30 on several
thousand in funds invested in the

In the future, the bond commis
sion will receive ail funds irom
the city clerk and treasurer which
will be collected in taxes and also,
by sale of bonds. These funds will
be deposited to the credit of the
commission, which will handle all
financial transactions pertaining
to payment of bonds and interest.

invite the S. C. Fox Hunters asso
ciation to Clinton for their field
trials next fall. This will bring
150 to 200 hunters and 340 to 400
dogs to this area for the occasion.

Ncw Ford Tractors
On Exhibit Here
To Public Today
Ford Motor company is now
producing three new tripycle farm
tractors in two power series, as
well as front-mounted implements
for the new tractors, according to
Howard Watkins,, of Clinton Im
plement Co.
“We extend a cordial invitation
to all farmers and others interest
ed in farm machinery to visit our
showroom at Clinton Implement
Co. on May 5,” Mr. Watkins said.
"We will have the new equipment
on display, starting at 10 a. m.
Power-spread rear wheels are
a major feature of the new trac
tors—first tricycles ever built by
Ford. Instead of wrestling 300-
pound rear wheels by hand to ob
tain the proper spacing for various
field needs, the operator uses the
tractor’s own power to turn the
wheel discs to obtain the desired
spacing in one-inch increments
from 56 to 70 inches (from 54 to
54 inches with the discs reversed).
Front-mounted equipment de
signed for use with the new Ford
tractors includes two and four-row
cultivators with planter, fertilizer
and side-dresser attachments. Oth
er Ford implements, including a
two-row mounted com picker, will
be available soon, according to
Mr. Watkins.
Mr. Watkins pointed out, "The
addition of the tricycle tractors
'brings to eight the number of new
Ford tractors announced since
January of this year. Five new
four-wheel models were introduced
in January.
I am not ashamed of the gos
pel of Christ; for it is the power
of God unto salvation to every
one that believeth.
—Romans 1:16
Freedom is not the liberty to
do whatever one likes, but the
power of doing whatever one
sees ought to be done, even in
the very face of otherwise over
whelming impulse.
