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.
Much love,
HERB

MV GOSH.THOSE GUYS ARE BUMS!
CMON, BILLY. 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.”

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.
