Turner - JEWELERS - ACROSS the RESK IDEAS FROM OTHER EDITORS From The Lincoln Times, Lin coln ton, N.C.: Now that the Presi dent has had his way with the steel companies, numerous fellow citizens could wish he might turn his fury on the prospect of in creasing postal rates by over $35 a ton (not a mere $6). At least, he might explain why this would not “constitute a wholly unjusti fiable and irresponsible defiance of the public interest.” In this serious hour in our na tion’s history, (if we may borrow some of his words) when we are devoting our energies to eco nomic recovery and stability and asking union members to hold down their wage requests at a time when restraint and sacrifice are being, asked of every citizen, the American people will find it hard' to accept a situation in which a tiny handful of Govern ment bureaucrats can show such utter contempt for the interests of 185 million Americans. If it was so wicked of US Steel to hike its price ZV* percent in the face of a 6 percent increase in costs, how come it is so noble of our Government to ask newspa pers and magazines to pay 50 percent more in second class postage rates, and third class mail users 40 percent more? Have the present keepers of the Federal Establishment forgotten that it was the basic function of the post office to maintain com munications and to encourage the dissemination of information over our continent-wide nation? And are those custodians of our free doms who should be concerned with that traditional responsibility unaware of the number of publica tions that would be doomed to death by such increases? Or are they insensible to the damage to both the national morale and the economy? These questions become es pecially compelling when we real ize that the same Administration that expresses fear of an infla tionary spiral and appears to de plore wage hikes in industry plans raises to postal and other Govern ment workers that will cost far more than the rate increases will produce. Perhaps the Administration thinks the public would be more tractable if it knew less of what is going on—and reporters, writ- | ers, editors, artists, engravers. ! typographers and pressmen would be happier raking leaves? At , least, there’s no better way of i hastening the managed state. . *'g .y«pw.v»w. . ■ «.■ Scout Pack Has September Meet Cubmaster Robert Renwick pre sided at the September Pack meet ing of Cub Scout Pack 66 held Tuesday night, Sept. 18th 7:30. The meeting was opened with the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag led by Cub W illiam Ren wick. A welcome was extended to all parents and friends, especially to the boys and parents who are planning to join the Pack. Renwick introduced the Institu tional Representative, Assistant Cubmasters, Committeemen, and Den Mothers for the benefit of new parents who were attending Pack Meeting for the first time. Elmer Shealy, Institutional Rep resentative, then introduced the speaker, Billl Brackett, Scout Staff Member, who showed a film “Investment in Tomorrow” and gave a very inspiring talk on what scouting means to a boy. He en couraged parents to spend more time with their sons as this meant more than trying so hard to give them unnecessary material things. Especially ,at age of Cub Scouts, 8, 9 and 10—these boys’ lives can be moulded to go either good or bad, whichever we prefer, he said. Mr. Brackett was thanked for his attendance and invited to visit the Pack again. The attendance banner, based on a percentage, was won by Den 3. Renwick awarded the following badges and arrow points: Gold ar row point under Bear, William Renwick; Lion Badge and Gold ar row points and one Silver arrow point, William McCrackin. A spe cial ceremony was then held for the presentation of the Webelos Badge to Ralph Summer, Floyd Mills and Michael Henderson. S mall miniature Webelos pins were presented the mother of each of the Webelo candidates. Renwick announced that Pack meetings would be held the fourth Tuesday night of each month at 7:30 at the church. The theme for October will be “Heroes in Books.” Dr. P. L. Grier dismissed the meeting with prayer. A social hour with refreshments served by the parents was enjoyed. Old Air Force Men Wanted Immediate enlistment for base of choice or to technical school for retraining into a needed Air Force skill—these are but a few of the benefits now being offered former military personnel who re enlist in the Air Force, reports lo cal Air Force Recruiting Sergeant Douglas W. Dyar. In addition, up to thirty days leave in advance of reporting to duty may be taken with full pay and allowances. This can be mighty important, the Ser geant pointed out, for those who have to work their notice before leaving their present employment or who have other personal affairs to set straight prior to departure. One of the most pressing reas ons for increasing Air Force needs for former military personnel is the fact that many experienced airmen are now reaching eligibili ty for tw*enty year retirement. As a result, manpower and woman- pow r er shortages are occurring in the Air Force that cannot be fill ed overnight with young, inexper ienced personnel. Men and w T omen already qualified in Air Force skills by reason of previous mili tary experience are required to help fill the gap. Sergeant Dyar also pointed out that with increasing numbers of top Air Force supervisory person nel retiring from active duty, pro motion opportunities are better than ever. He went on to say “Our slogan about going places faster in the Air Force, v r as never truer than it is today.” Persons interested in learning more about their individual quali fications and eligibility should con tact Sergeant Dyar at the draft board in Newberry each Friday or by writing the USAF Recruiting Office at 1404 Gervais St. in Co lumbia. Providing fun for the whole family, and individuality for Mom and Dad, the top offering in Ford’s 1963 station wagon line, the Country Squire, will have optional bucket seats. A nine-passen ger car, the Squire has the only forward-facing third seat in the low-priced car field, and one of the widest tailgate openings in the industry—more than 50 inches. Described as “the most service free standard-size American car ever produced,” the 1963 Ford Galaxie features complete re-styling, a new 260-cubic-inch Challenger V-8 engine, 36,000- mile major lubrication intervals and 6,000-riile minor lubrica tion intervals, and “cushion link” suspension. Through use of improved lubricants, a complete “run-in” of each engine while it is being electronically analyzed, and an engine flush proce dure, Ford has been able to eliminate the historic 1,000-mile inspection on all of its 1963 cars, except the three van-type vehicles in the Falcon line. « The 4-door hardtop (bottom), is one of the 14 models in the 1963 Galaxie line that will be introduced in dealer showrooms on Friday, September 28.

Five Day Term Of Court Ended By MRS. A. H. COUNTS Newberry county Court of Gen eral Sessions adjourned here Fri day afternoon. In a jury case Friday George O. Rowell of Columbia was found guilty of obtaining goods under false pretenses and was sentenced by Judge William L. Rhodes, Jr., of Hampton to serve three years in the state penitentiary or on the public works of Newberry county at whatever work he can perform. In addition, Rowell is to pay a fine of $1. Judge Rhodes was adr vised by Attorney Maxcy Stone that Row r ell is not'in good health. The charge against Rowell in volved his obtaining a sewing ma chine from Mrs. Lucile Elkins, a Negro, under false pretenses. The Elkins woman testified that she had purchased a sewing ma chine from a company representa tive some time ago but could not pay for the machine.

In the meantime Rowell stop ped at the home of a neighbor, a Mrs. Fannie Cannon, also a negro, and offered her $5 discount on a new machine for each customer to whom she referred him. It was then that she gave him the name of the Elkins woman and told him that she had bought a new mach ine but was returning it. According to Mrs. Elkins, Ro well came to her home and told her that he was a ‘sewing machine man” who had come to teach her how to sew or to pick up the ma chine. She told him to take the machine. When the representative of the company later came to her home to reclaim the machine, she in formed him that it had already been picked up. An investigation then led to Rowell’s arrest.

Mathis again repeated the performance. Boozer then produced a knife and advanc ed on Mathis. Someone in the room took the knife from Boozer but he produced another knife and again advanced on Mathis. Mathis then drew a pistol and shot first into the ceiling and then poured five bullets into Boozer’s body. Dr. J. E. Grant testified that he examined the deceased and that he could have died from any one of three of the five bullets found in the body.
