At last reports, the Red Army was hemmed in the Sa luda River Valley. The 12th reported fatality of the exercise occurred Monday with the drowning of Sp. 4 Roya Foyer, 27, of the 618th Engineering Battalion, Fort Bragg, in a pond on the L. D. Bedenbaugh farm in the Hope- well community a few miles from Clinton. An air strip has been in ope ration on the 1,000-acre farm near the 15-acre pond in which Laurens County Sheriff R. Eu gene Johnson said Foyer was last seen alive Monday after noon on an inflated air mat tress. Rescue squads from Newber ry, Prosperity and Greenwood were called in to aid in the search operations. The body was located early Tuesday morning about 45 feet from the pond’s dam and in its deepest water. The waning mock war has involved more than 80,000 ground troops and 14,000 Air Force personnel.

There, wagging a finger at him, was Mrs. Lib Bridges, the woman who had cared for Hum phrey during his childhood days. She had not recognized him in full combat attire. Slye soon realized, however, that the intruder was the boy she helped rear several years ago. “I couldn’t believe my eyes. There was Bud floating in the air and coming straight at me,” she said. Sgt. Humphrey described it: “1 hit and rolled to the ground at her feet. All I could think to say was ’Hi, Lib!’ I sure was sur prised to see her and to land so close to home.” The first words Mrs. Bridges said to him was a reflex from his childhood: “Buddy Hum phrey, you get out of my butter bean patch immediately.” Hear Budget Requests From Agencies Clinton High Slates 11-Game Grid Season Clinton High School will open an eleven-game gridiron sched ule on September 6 when the Red Devils will travel to York, the high school athletic department announced this week.
