। LET THE PUBLIC BEWARE
। ALTHOUGH many like to pretend that
it isn't so, funeral service like any other
service has to be fairly priced. No one could
1 possibly supply the modern funeral which
the American public demands unless his
firm were soundly operated, with a reason
able profit margin. Therefore, it behooves
the public to beware of “bargains in funeral
service.”

WASHINGTON U
GRAVE QUESTIONS have
arisen in recent weeks about
whether or not the South Viet
namese people really welcome
United States presence and in
volvement in their war-torn
country.
Naturally, when American
men are sent to a foreign land
to fight and die, the people of
this country
have a right
to expect
some measure
of support
from those
whom we are
helping fight
their war.
I have been
greatly disturbed by the wave
of anti-American demonstra
tions in South Viet Nam lately,
and the lack of a stable gov
ernment there is appalling and
certainly detrimental to the
war effort.
IF AND WHEN it is deter
mined that the South Viet
namese no longer support
United States efforts and as
sistance and are unwilling to
fight for themselves or to put
their own house in order, then
in my opinion it will certainly
be time for a reappraisal of
our involvement there.
The original entry of the
United States into this con
flict was questionable at best,
but nonetheless we are today
very deeply involved and com
mitted. Our flag is there, our
troops — 250,000 strong — are
there, and our word and honor
are on the line. In view of the
circumstances, I see no way at
the present time to achieve a
withdrawal.
Try WANT ADS
SELL TOMORROW
with a WANT AD TODAY!
(Not prepared or
So long as we are in the field
of battle and intend to stay
there, every possible source of
military might at our com
mand should be brought to
bear in order to attain victory
or bring the Communists to
the conference table.
NO ONE DESIRES the
brutal bombing of large cen
ters of population in North
Viet Nam, resulting in death
and injury to thousands of in
nocent civilians. This has not
been advocated.
However, the United States
maintains control of the air
and the sea, and this suprem
acy should be utilized to the
fullest in order to hasten an
end to the war and to mini
mize the loss of American
lives.
For example, it is my view
that the Port of Haiphong
should be closed to the traffic
of war materials and supplies.
This probably could be done
most effectively by aerial min
ing of the harbor. Surface-to
air missile sites which are re
sponsible for shooting down
U.S. aircraft should be knocked
out, as should gas .and fuel
dumps, utilities, industrial
complexes and military targets.
It is foolhardy to try to fight
a war without absolute deter
mination to win, and the Amer
ican people will not long sup
port this effort if it drags out
year after year while the loss
of American lives grows higher
and highey^^^^ z

Funeral Services
Held Monday for
Mrs. Loper, 42
Mrs. Jacquin Raynard Loper,
42, died Saturday morning at the
residence of Mr. and Mrs. Harry
Smith, Route 1, Bristol, following
an extended illness.
A native of Ridgeway, Penn.,
she was the daughter of the late
Mr. and Mrs. Antotine Stanta
of Ridgeway, Penn. Mrs. Loper
was a member of the First Meth
odist Church, Miami.
She is survived by her husband,
Carlos E. Loper, Bristol; one sis
ter, Mrs. John Anderson, Kersey,
Penn.; two brothers, Fernand
Stanta and Frank Stanta of Ridge
way, Penn.
Funeral services were held
Monday afternoon at 2:30 o’clock,
at the Martha Memorial Metho
dist Church, with the Rev. Cur
tis Cribbs and the Rev. Alton
Little officiating. Burial was in
the church cemetery.
Honorary pallbearers were Al
ton Boatright, Earl Boatright,
Ray Boatright, Warner Boatright,
Arch Boatright, Truett Boatright,
Thomas Metts, Robert Fender,
and James Winn.
Active pallbearers were Clyde
Collins, Ervin Collins, John Smith,
Harold Smith, Royce Mobley,
Darrell Loper, and Tommy Metts.
Candidate for
Congress, Dr.
Hargret Says:
I will be our man in Wash
ington, not Washington’s man
in the Eighth District.
Many people have commen
ted on this statement of mine.
These people have felt that all
too often instead of our Con
gressmen remaining our repre
sentatives, when they get to
Washington, they join the
“Wheelers and Dealers” on
Capitol Hill, and forget the
people at home, who have
sent them to Washington to
be their representative.
Thusly, the Congressman
guilty of this, becomes little
more than a Federal Clerk
in his district, and if the pres
ent administration continues
on its course to take away
our independence such un
desirable Congressmen will
become nothing more than
Federal Commissars.
A man is no longr worthy
to sit in Congress when
he forsakes his position as
representative for his district
and becomes the pawn of
whatever occupant happens to
sit in the White House.
Sing Will Be
Held Saturday
At Offerman
Offerman Bapt'st Church will
hold a sing, Saturday night, June
4, beginning at 8:00 o’clock.
Refreshments will be served.
All special singers and the pub
lic are invited.
PEACH PROSPECTS
Georgia peach production in 19-
60 will be about the same as
last year, according to the State
Crop Reporting Service. Produc
tion is forecast at 4,800,000 bush
els. First shipments of 1966
peaches were recorded during the
week of May 2 in the extreme
southern part of the state. Pros
pects in this area are reportedly
very good. In middle Georgia,
some varieties have been dam
aged, but the outlook is general
ly favorable.
HARDWOODS, PINES
The presence of undesirable
hardwoods in pine stands can re
duce the growth rate and income
from pines. Extension foresters
at the University of Georgia say
the cost of controlling the unde
sirable trees will be more than
offset by increased growth of the
desirable ones.
