Paysinger Agent ANNIVERSARY PRESENT By Shirley Sargent Dearest Claire: Before I launch Into any ex planations, I want you to know that I’ll be thinking of you on our an niversary. Just think we’ve been married two weeks tomorrow! I know you’ve been worrying because you haven’t heard from me since I returned to camp. The fact is, in Army terminology, I overstayed my leave, but those last two days of our honeymoon were worth it. The Army has a phrase for such a condition—AWOL. meaning absent without leave. Even with those two days of sto len time, I figured to make it here all right and I would have if my plane hadn’t been bumped on ac count of-weather. What with a bus slower than Army red tape and running out of cash. I was six days late . . . Since I’d gotten right fond of my Pfc.’s stripe and never liked the looks of the guardhouse, I was one worried GI! In order to avoid the MP’s stationed at the gate, I had to sneak into camp. Unfortunately, I tore my uniform as I slithered under the barbed wire. Typical At well luck! Cherishing a forlorn hope of slipping into the barracks unnoticed and making a deal with my first sergeant, I was set to run for it when along came Quincy Creb Humphreys. The major him self! “Well, if it isn’t former Pfc. Her bert Atwell/’ he said sharply. Naturally, I’d given considerable thought to my predicament, plan ning on what attitude to take if I was caught, but I hadn’t expected to be confronted with old Quincy Creb. With my knees knocking while the major stared right through me, I decided to be bold. I ripped my stripe off, handed it to him. “Yes, sir,” I said “Former Pfc. Herbert Atwell reporting to duty, sir.” “Six days late.” the major said acidly, looking a trifle startled at the sight of my discarded stripe. “Yes, sir.” “AWOL,” the major emphasized each initial. “Yes, sir.” “Reporting with a muddy, torn uniform.” “Yes. sir,” I admitted again. “All right, Atwell, I suppose you’re going to give me that corny line about a sick mother?” "Oh, no, sir,” I said. *T was making mad love to my girl.” “For six days? Your girl!” From the outraged tone in his voice, I knew he was a stickler for morals. “My wife, sir,” I said proudly, “I married the girl, sir. Evidently that reassured him as to my honorableness. I was all set to explain about -being bumped when tye started talking. “I’m glad to meet a man with enough nerve to tell the truth. Most men in your position would have handed me a cock-and-bull story about missing their plane.” I kept still. “Well,” he barked, but there was an odd glint in his eyes as if he were testing me, “after sneaking into camp, six days late, with a tom uniform, what do you have to say for yourself?” “No excuses, sir,” I said. ‘Tm sorry I’m AWOL, but I’m glad we had our honeymoon.” “At ease, soldier,” he said. While I took the stripes off the rest of my uniforms that night, I wondered when the MP’s would come for me. My buddies felt so badly, they retold all the old guard house stories and my finest ser geant painted a future, too horrible to put down on paper. The following morning orders came through from the major that I be promoted to corporal with the Military Police! I don’t like the black armband but my favo rite tour of duty is past the guard house. So you see, Claire, there’s no sense worrying in the Army. Consider the extra stripe your an niversary present.

GET THE GLOVES AND I’LL SHOW YOU SOME REAL TIPS ON THE ART OF SELF-DEFENSE, Gasoline Taxes May Be Deducted On Income Forms Columbia, March 4, 1953 — Al though the average South Carolina motor vehicle owner paid about $99.00 last year in special auto motive taxes, he can only include $65.00 of this as a deductible item in figuring his federal income tax. This was pointed out today by E. A. Sessions, vice-president of the South Carolina State Automo bile Association, in a reminder to motorists that state gasoline taxes at the rate of 7c per gallon and state motor license fees can be shown as deductions on federal income tax returns. The 2-cent per gallon federal gasoline tax and federal levies on new cars, parts, accessories, lub ricating oil, tires and tubes—while they add another $34.00 to the av erage vehicle owner’s special tax bill—are not deductible, he said. Mr. Sessions stressed that mo torists would have to compute their own tax deductions on the basis of actual gasoline purchases and license fee payments during the year, but he predicted that many vehicle owners will be sur prised to learn the amount involv ed in these items. Citing a Federal Reserve Board study which shows that the typi cal car owner earns less than $4,- 000 per year, Mr. Sessions observ ed that many motorists actually pay more in special automotive taxes over a year’s time than they pay in federal income tax. He add ed: “If the motorist kept a record of all his special auto taxes and fees, he would soon see why he is so often called the most heavily taxed citizen in the state.” Watch And Jewelry Repairs BR0ADUS LIPSCOMB WATCHMAKER 2309 Johnstone Street Farmer Holds 3 Bales 50 Years Haynes P. Smith' waited a long time to sell his three bales of cot ton, 50 years in fact—but he got a better price. Cotton was selling for five or six cents a pound when the staple was ginned in Union County in 1902. iMonday, Fred L. Burnett of F. L. Burnett Cotton Co. paid Mr. Smith 35 cents per ppund. The three bales weighed 1,524 pounds and netted $533.40. At the six cents, 1902 price, it would have brought only $91.44. The cotton was grown in Bo- gansville Township, Union county, Mr. Smith, Jonesville Route 1 far mer, said. It was produced on the farm of William Smith, father of Haynes Smith, who managed the farm. * The staple was ginned at the I. G. McKinney Gin by hand with a 12-horsepower steam engine as power. The Smiths paid $1 per bale to have the cotton ginned and spent 50 cents for bagging. Since that time the cotton had been kept in a house on the farm and out of the weather. —Spartanburg Herald.
