For 55 years he was on the road selling agricultural and farm implements and histotal years in tge hardware business number 59. : Started Here The Athenian entered the hard ware business with T. Fleming & Sons on Thomas street in Ath ens on March 1, 1891, and 46 years ago he took to the highway as the first traveling man to go out of Athens driving a car in his business. . 4 It was in 1904 that he purchas ed a Ford automobile and made headlines in the local paper when he covered the distance t}l?om Ath ens to Union Point and retarn in one day. Mr. Peak recalls he paid SI,OOO for the car and that it had no top=Gasoline in those days was cheap. He does not recall whether or not the car had a license tag but he does remembper that he didn’t use a car without a top and he soon bought one with that pro tection from the sun and rain. The car, incidentally, is on perma nent exhibit at C. A. Trussell Motor Company. Though his years are many and his health not the best and while he tires easily, Mr. Peek today can tell you the various items he sold back in that dim past. As the times changed Mr. Peek said, so did the lines and types of implements he offered for sale. Mr. Peek was born in Philo math, Ga., and married his girl hood sweetheart, Miss Alleyn Cox, also a resident of that corhmunity. They moved to Athens and her father was employed on hte 10-al newspaper for some thirty years or more. The Stages When he first started on the road he used a horse and buggy, then the trains and finally switch ed to automobiles. Of all the cus tomers and firms he called on in those first days, “pPeek-a-boo” says that only two are still in eis tance. They are Braselton Broth ers, of Braselton in Jackson coun ty, and Lonnie E. Green in Dan jelsville. Both are general stores. Mr. Peek said he has never lost a customer because of mistreat ment during his long career. Two (Continued On Page Three) DEFY ORDER FOR HEALTH EXAMS Now heading home they defied a new Wesi German order to give their names and take a medical examination to determine if they had contracted typhoid or other contagious disease in their crowd ed Berlin encampments. “We came free to Berlin and we intend to return freely,” said leaders of the youths. “We will accept ho compromise.” They argued that if they gave their names, they would be fired from their jobs for supporting the East in the cold war.

Mr. Peek today is observing his fortieth vear with the King Hardware Company of Atlanta. Eighty-nine years old, he started selling hardware and agricultural equipment fifty-nine years ago. oo e NEW SCHOOL ATTENDANCE CHAMP HAILED A few days ago the Banner- Herald carried a story relating that a student in the Princeton school had completed five years of school without an absence or a tardiness marring his record. Until now that student wore the champion’s crown. But today the crown passes on, this time to a student in Joseph M. Hodgson Academy, who has completed six years without an absence or a tard iness. The new champ, uniil some body else comes ‘along to take over the crown, is Dorothy Tate, 12-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Chaple Tate of Whitehall. Dorothy is in the Sixth grade and not only has a perfect at tendance record but has a scholastic record of all “A’s” or VS’ . Each time she has re ceived her report card during all six years she has received the highest marks offered by the school. In addition so the two above achievements, Dorothy has been largely responsible for the scheol news sent in weekly for publica tion in the Banner-Herald. So, it's “Hail to the New Champ!” SOLONS HEAR DETAILS ABOUT RED NETWORK WASHINGTON, June I—(AP) —Senator Knowland (R.-Calif.) said today that a “Red network” ran from the Communist party to the magazine Amerasia and on in to the ‘State Department. Knowland made the statément in a speech prepared for delivery in the Senate. It followed close on the heels of a denial by James M. Mclnerney, Chief of the Justice Department’s criminal division, of an assertion by Senator = Hickenlooper (R.- JTowa) that documents the govern ment recovered from Amerasia in 1945 included one which showed the wartime location of American fleet units.

For $1 Billion In Aid President Says Delay In Funds May Strike Fatal Blow At Peace WASHINGTON, June I.—(AP)—President Truman to day asked Congress to provide $1,222,500,000 for a second year of the arms aid program. He said delay in supplying the money might “strike a fatal blow at all our efforts to create the kind of peace which the free world seeks and would lessen our chances of continuing to live and work in freedom.” The fund would finance arms shipments t 6 more than a dozen foreign nations, including Atlan tic pact allies, during the fiscal vear peginning next July 1. The $1,222,500,000 requested by Mr. Truman is slightly less than the $1,238,600,000 which Congress appropriatéd last year to help 13 nations rearm agairst Commun ism. M. Truman made the request in his first semi-annual repori to Congress on the handling of the first year program, which began last fall. Backing up his request, Mr. Truman said: “The momenturn already gained must under no circumstances be lost, because, once lost, il is doubt ful that it can ever be recaptured a2t any cost.” The President gave this break down as to how the new money would be spent: North Atlantic treaty nations— sl,ooo,ooo,ooo.
