Layton CANDIDATE FOR REELECTION AS Mayor of Newberry ' Rpnngrr ‘P'lSHERMEN, water skiers and ■■■ boating enthusiasts don’t have to be told that recreational boating had some growing pains in 1960. It was obvious to anyone who spent any time at all on a stream, lake or ocean. Just how big boating has be come is evidenced in a year-end report on the boating industry issued by the Outboard Boating Club of America and the National Association of Engine and Boat Manufacturers. These folks, who should know, report that Ameri cans spent $2,525,000,000 at retail for new and used boats, motors, accessories and safety equipment, fuel, boat shelters, docking and maintenance. Purchases of new outboard boats, motors and boat trailers alone amounted to $442,000,000. The number of people using the waterways more than twice for pleasure boating jumped 1,125,000 over 1959, the report shows. Total number of boats used for recrea tion rose to 8,025,000, of which 4,982,000 are motorboats. The nation’s recreational fleet consumed 547,000,000 gallons of gasoline and 25,200,000 gallons of lubricating oil In the U.S. today, there are more than 1,150 yacht clubs and boat clubs with waterfront sta tions, and approximately 4,000 marinas and boat yards. Recrea tional boating enthusiasts formed a major market for producers of sheet plywood, fiberglass and aluminum. * # * THE AMERICAN GUN, a new, luxury magazine for American sportsmen and gun enthusiasts, is a quarterly publication in the hard-cover publication field.

Benson PRESIDENT—NATIONAL EDUCATION PROGRAM Searcy, Arkansas A NEW FOREIGN POLICY When President Kennedy ad- i dressed the nation’s newspaper ed itors on April 20, he sounded cer tain clear, true notes which, if he would continue to develop the harmony, might result in a posi tive and strengthened approach to foreign affairs. In fact, his speech to the editors showed a more pos itive approach to achieving nat ional security than did the report of his Vienna visit. It is certain to be hoped that influences from the left, including apologists for Castro, have made no headway in their attempts to weaken the po sition Mr. Kennedy showed on April 20. Our restraint, the President said, was not inexhaustible. We would meet ou; “primary obliga T tions which arc to the security of our Nation,” even if other coun tries of this hemisphere should fail to keep out Communist pene tration. The Cuban base for a pro gram of subversion to the South of us was recognized as a threat to free nations in this hemisphere. This was only a few days after the unhappy attempt at invasion, and the president was saying that we would not be “lectured in ‘in- Instead of showing cowardice, we must face up to the challenge, as the President so firmly indicat- ! ed, and “intensify our efforts for • a struggle in so many ways more difficult than war.” Given this kind of leadership and a self-dis ciplined, enlightened citizenship following it, America should be able to lead the world away from what the President called the “iron discipline of the mailed fist.!’ New Responsibilities Not only should we encourage the return to Cuba to its people, we must insist upon observance of the Monroe Doctrine, or even the newer version, the “Kennedy Doc trine.” These strenghtened polic ies can preserve Latin and South America from Communist imper ialism. We cannot permit the Reds to maintain Cuba as a base of continual operations for encroach ments to the South of us. A full scale program must be launched to help return Cuba to the side of freedom. We must move soon in an intelligent and decisive way, not for war but for peace and liberty. And also, throughout the world for the Communists are vulner able wherever they have subdued whole peoples.

But we cannot al-! low them to educate newer gener- j acions in their evil ways, nor to kill off those who love freedom in country after country. We must make their control over subjugat ed nations as insecure as we can, for we can no longer afford to "SAFE DfitVER” INSURANCE PUN MEANS PREMIUM DISCOUNTS FOR MOST DRIVERS tervention’ by those whose charac ter was stamped for all time on the bloody streets of Budapest.” Deepening Struggle abandon free peoples as we did the The President showed some the Hungarian patriots in their recognition of the necessity of! battles against the Communist prosecuting the “cold war” in tyranny. going it alone. “It is clearer than ever that we face a relentless struggle in every corner of the j globe that goes far beyond the clash of armies or even nuclear William Holland Epting, Rt. 4, armaments.

They report that “SAFE DRIVER” INSURANCE PLAN Under the safe driver insur ance plan proposed by the Na tional Bureau of Casualty Un derwriters and the National Au- mobiL Underwriters Associa tion, the premium for a private passenger car would depend up on the driving record for the past three years of the appli cant and other drivers resident in his household as indicated by the number of points assigned against them. records for the pvf three years could qualify for the maximum premium reduction of 15 per cent. It is estimated that 795 out of every l.OOO driveni insur ed by NBCU-NAUA companies will qualify for this discount. With one point, a household would pay the basic premium plus 5 per cent; with, two points,, the basic premium plus 50 per cent; with three points, the ba sic premium plus 100 percent; and with four points, the basic premium plus 150 per cent. Points would be assigned for accidents although under cer tain circumstances accidents would, be exempt from points. Points also would be assign ed for certain moving traffic violation convictions requiring the filing of evidence of finan cial responsibility under any state financial responsibility law. Car owners with less than three' years driving experience would pay the basic rate. is recovering nicely. En route home, they stopped in Charlotte, N.

AMERICANA ' ■ n*:' Cities to See Meridian, Mississippi Meridian, Mississippi, with an estimated population of some 50,000, is the Magnolia State’s second city and the seat of many important industries. General William Tecumseh Sherman would be surprised, were he alive today. In an official message to the Federal War Department during the Civil War he once said. “Meridian no longer exists.” Hie sailing has. not always been smooth for this city that rose from the ashes of destruction to became a thriving metropolis. In past years, railway payrolls loomed large in the economic picture of Meridian. Dieseliza- tion of locomotives and the dis mantling of shop facilities caused railways to now supply only a small percentage of the total pay roll. This has created a complete change in the economic picture. The pattern of the labor face followed closely the progress of the city, the farmer giving way to the railroad mechanic and finally the farm boy and girl emerging predominately as in dustrial workers. Meridian work ers make sewer clay tile pipe, bathrobes, hosiery, shirts, wall- board and wire bound boxes. They manufacture, treat anc ship wood products, as well as work in a large distribution facility, mixed feed plant, meat packing hpuses and bakeries. Three new industries manufacture water heaters, molded plastics and mal leable iron castings. Located almost in the geo graphical center of the mid- South, Meridian is the home of McCain Field, a Naval Auxil iary Air Station, where cadets will receive primary training in flying jet aircraft. The $60,000,000 installation will be commissioned in 1961, will have 2,500 military and civilian personnel, with an estimated annual payroll of $10,000,000. Meridian is home of the na tionally-known “Calf Scramble,” sponsored by the Chamber of "Commerce. The spectacular event attracts many thousands of visitors in April of each year. It climaxed by a contest in which qualified FFA and 4-H boys “scramble” in an arena for reg istered calves. This program, in augurated in 1947, contributes greatly to the upgrading of beef cattle in the area. Cattle has be come one of the principal sources of farm incopae. mm® IMPsSSm £9g£l j|||P are the experts in home financing?
