The Taylor County News
and The Butler Herald '
BUTLER, GEORGIA, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1962
Due to a lack of sufficient
advertising, we were forced to
cut the paper to four pages this
week. We hope this will not
be necessary often.
The news was edited as much
as possible to give the essential
facts and some material was
saved for next week. Many
pictures of course were held
for running next week.
On Thursday night, after re
turning from Warner Robins
where everyone was calmly
preparing for an emergency if
necessary, I found the people of
our county frantically preparing
to receive 1600 children the
next day.
For months, yes even years,
we have been told over and over
to prepare for an emergency.
Even in a nuclear attack some
could survive with proper pre-
But the Cuban crisis brought
home to us so clearly that we
too are sitting on a powder
keg. We now realize it can
happen to us.
Be sure to be present on
Nov. 12 at the Butler Gym and
learn what you can do.

Our policy, published recent
ly, concerning the publication
of news free and charging for
publishing advertising has not
been too popular with some peo
ple.
I regret it. But the policy
is a necessary one. The line
must be drawn somewhere. I
believe it is fair to say that if
you have a. service or product
you wish to give FREE to the
public, we will give our adverti
sing, in the form of news
stories, FREE, too. On the
other hand, if you are CHARG
ING for your service, show or
product, then it seems only right
that we CHARGE for adver
tising in this newspaper.
If I walked into a clothing
store and asked for a dress
free, the owner of clerk would
consider me anidiotl The dress
cost the store money and the
merchant must sell it at a
certain markup to stay in busi
ness. The same is true of
space in this space at a small
markup to stay in business.
The economics of running
this newspaper are that simple.
I wish I were wealthy and could
run this newspaper as philan
thropy. I can’t. I must make
expenses. The small amount
charged for subscriptions goes
only a small way toward off
setting expenses. Advertising
is essential to the financial
success—and continuation—of
this newspaper.
So our policy: News we print
FREE, gladly. . . and we SELL

Stinsons Uninjured
in Auto Accident
No injuries were reported
in the accident on Friday night
involving the 1962 Nash Ram
bler auto belonging to the E. J.

SAC To Hold
Practice Session
At Mauk
Jet bombers of the Strategic
Air Command will begin flying
missions onNovember 6 against
simulated targets near Mauk,
Ga.
Radar bomb scoring equip
ment mounted on an Air Force
train parked near Mauk will
score the accuracy of simulated
bomb drops by means of radio
and radar signals.
B-47, B-52 and B-58 bombers
travelling along a 10-mile wide
training corridor will fly at an
altitude of approximately 5,000
feet during the simulated bomb
runs.
The corridor will begin north
of Walhalla, S. C. and go south
to near Dublin, Ga., to near
McRae, Ga., and then northwest
to aiming points near Mauk.
No bombs are carried by the
SAC aircraft on these training
missions. After the corridors
and targets have been used
for approximately 45 days, op
erations along the route will
be suspended, because the
crews become familiar with
the landmarks and other identi
fying characteristics of the area
to the point the route no longer
offers realistic training bene
fits,
All targets and route
selections have been coordi
nated in advance with the
Federal Aviation Agency.
Highly populated areas and
areas of heaviest air traffic
are avoided.
The RBS Express, designa
tion for the Air Force train
which carries the mobile radar
bomb scoring equipment, is de
signed to inject more realism
into SAC’s training program,
providing crews with a wider
range of unfamiliar targets and
routes. This is done by moving
the RBS Express to a new geo
graphical location periodically
to simulate new and different
target areas. With each relo
cation, new routes terminat
ing near the RBS Express are
used.
The train is manned by about
65 Air Force personnel. These
are radar and electronic tech-
nicinas plus personnel needed
to maintain the train and fur
nish other support. Civilian
train crews move the RBS Ex
press between target locations.
Each train has lOcarscarry
ing radar and communications
equipment, fuel and supplies.
The cars are from U. S. Army
stock.

Rev. Key Speaks
To Kiwanians
The Rev. Jack Key, pastor
of the First Methodist Church
of Cordele, was guest speaker
for the luncheon meeting of the
Kiwanis Club on Friday. He
chose for his topic, The Rights
of Children. They have a right
to be well bred, well fed, well
led, well read and well wed.
Another interesting thing
quoted by the speaker was the 12

be altered or remodeled to
take care of our expanding
volume of mail.”
The construction program is
being concentrated in those
areas where the need is urgent
and suitable space cannot be
obtained except through new
construction.
"We now have about 45,000
post office locations through
out the country, handling a
volume of 65 billion pieces of
mail a year. By 1970 it is
expected to rise to 90 billion.
It is clear, therefore, that we
must redouble our efforts, not
only in expanding our capacity
but also in devising new postal
techniques to meet the demands
of our growing population."
The new sturcture will con
tribute materially to the efforts
being made by Butler, in co
operation with the new Federal
Area Redevelopment Admini
stration, to revitalize the local
economy and help provide per
manent new job opportunities,
the Postmaster General pointed
out. New employment will be
provided during the construc-
ttion phase, he said, and the
completed building will help
community efforts to sell Butler
as a good place for business to
grow.
This cooperation between the
Post Office Department and
ARA, Mr. Day said, is designed
to implement President Ken
nedy's broad program of
Federal assistance to areas of
chronic unemployment and un
deremployment.
Under the Department’s
Lease Construction program
Murray Jarrell will construct
the new building at the south
west corner of Ivy and Square
Streets and lease it to the De
partment for ten years, with
two five-year renewal options.
The Department's capital in
vestment is limited substantial
ly to postal equipment, while the
building remains under private
ownership, with the owner pay
ing local real estate taxes.
"This formula,” Mr. Day
said, "utilizes the resources
and investment founds of pri
vate enterprise for needed
postal buildings.”
The new Post Office at But
ler will be constructed on a
site containing 10,135 square
feet, and is expected to be com
pleted by May 1, 1963. It will
have an interior space of 2,842
square feet, with an area of
11,937 square feet for parking
and movement of postal vehi
cles.
