ALE GAN, Mich, SPIT. 81
Q.N.S0-A prominent Chicagoan,
Edward J. Murrey, who said he
did not know the Sunshine Sports
Club nudist colony was being run
in violation of the law, took the
witness stand as a surprise wit
ness today at examination of Fred
c. Ring, 40, and his wife, Ophelia,
operators of the camp.
The Rings, nudism's pioneers in
the Middle West. are accused of
indecent exposure. The case is
the first test prosecution of mud
lists in Michigan.
Murrey testified that he came
to the hearing voluntarily at his
own expense. He said he and
his wife attended the camp twice
once for a weekend at a charge
of so cents and again for an
entire week for $3.50. He was
under the impression, he said
that the colony was operated with
the sanction of authorities.
High Blood Pressure
At the camp, he said, he took
sun baths to cure high blood
pressure. He denied that he had
observed any immoral words OF
actions among the patrons of the
colony. He was very positive and
emphatic on his point.

RELIEF ROLLS
WEEDED OUT
FOR WINTER
BY International News Service

BY International News Service
A nationwide pairing of relief
rolls to meet the urgent needs of
winter was under way today,
aimed at reducing all relief lists
to strictly urgent cases.
A check-up Of new names on
payrolls is part of the general ef-
fort to winnow information which
will show:
/. The extent Of new employ
ment over the country.
2. Names of new bread winners
from families now on relief
rolls, so that where justified
these families can be released
on their own responsibility
again.
Relief funds have been declared
inadequate throughout the coun.
try, by Harry L. Hopkins, Federal
relief administrator. He has
called for increasing the amount
being given to individual families,
while warning the Federal Gov
ernment cannot carry the entire
load.
$4,000 on Rolls
Tabulations just completed
show that in July the were 3,51O.'
900 families being cared for
largely with Federal funds in
many States, compared with
S,580,000 families in January, and
O peak of 4,470,850 in April.
Hopkins declined to speculate
on the aid trend for next winter
He said:
eve have not yet felt the full
impact of the public works pro-
gram, however. When we do
there undoubtedly will be a
Shortening of the breadlines."
Where such projects already are
effective, he said, reductions OF
1000 and $500 families from the
community relief list have beer
reported. He hoped this trend
would be general.
Relief in Storm Area
The loads in hurricane areas OF
Texas and Florida, and in drought
areas of the Dakotas and Texas
have trebled.
Territory affected by these dis
asters has been strictly defined
by relief representatives, and
variations in relief policies &C
meet the special conditions there
have been announced by the Ad-
ministration.

haven't been happy a single mo-
ment since Miss Leonard broke
her engagement. You've been
drunk-you may give me notice
right now, sir-every night for
six months. Your heart is
breaking, and yet you try to pre-
tend that you're happier as a
criminal lawyer, defending gang
Sters, big shots, than you were
as a member of the highly re-
Spected firm which your grand
father founded and which your
father carried on"
I'll not give you your notice,
Layton" sighed Durant. And
I think that everyone in the
world would agree that yours
are the words Of sanity. Gang
Sters and criminals are not
choice clients. But they're
interesting. Corporation cases
aren't-not to me. I tell you,
mystery, intrigue-they're the
only things that interest me.
And there's drama fighting for
a mans life, whereas there's
only a fee in winning a con-
tract case. I know. I moved

world exists a not-too-unpre-
Sentable young woman who
would do me the honor to be-
come my wife and the mother
of my child. But you see, Lay
ton, I happen to want only one
certain young woman"
And she'd want you if you'd
stick to the sort of thing you
were meant for" said the valet.
There's the difficulty; what
was I meant for? To be junior
partner in the law firm which
my grandfather founded, to
spend my life fussing about
estates in which I'm not inter
ested?"
Its more respectable than
defending notorious criminals;
getting yourself mixed up with
all sorts of questionable peo-
Pile"
But I'm not respectable,
Layton. Responsibility bores
me. And questionable people
are infinitely more entertaining
than unquestionable folk. And
justice is a better thing than
smugness."

"Is there anything surprising

"Now the difference between

thought we might stretch a

learning to be a farmer himself
this summer. She sent us a
cunning little picture of Calvin
in overalls an everything, but,
unfortunately, it was not clear
enough to make a newspaper

no was to serve longer than any
one had ever served, Mr. J.. H.
Ramsey was appointed first on
August 10, 1882. A. H. Boyden
was made postmaster On June Is,
1885 and for many years it was
Ramsey and Boyden.
July IS, 1889 Mr.. Ramsey was
again appointed and then Mr.. Boy
den again on June II, 1898. Then
Mr.. Ramsey again on October IS,
1897, the latter having held the
Office until his death with the ex-
ception of six months that Mr.. w.
Henry Hobson held the office in
1910 and 1911. Mr.. Hobson had
also served as assistant postmaster
for several years, having been con-
nected with the office since 1901.
1t was Mr.. Hobson hat started the
first postal savings service in
North Carolina while he was posi-
master. R. c.. Jennings was acting
postmaster from January 7, 1881
to April l, 1882.
Mr.. Ramsey held the office many
years longer than any other, all
told about forty years.
When Mr.. Ramsey was first ap-
pointed to the office it was located
in a little frame shack where the
Ford Hotel now stands. There was
only one clerk employed at that
time, he being Richard Graham.
When Andrew Balfour was post
master his mother attended to the
office for her son.
In 1870 there were only seventy
five p~ostofhces in the United States,
of this number four of them were
in North Carolina, located at Ed
enton, Washington, Newborn, Will
mington. The Salisbury postof6ce
wa established three years later
Carolina watchman. [volume] (Salisbury, N.C.) 1871-1937, 1933-03-31

and was located in a small wooden
house where Capt. R. w. Price
lived on East Innes St. This office
became Presidential on March 20,
1867 and second class on July l,
1899. Free delivery of mail was
established in the town of Salisbury
September l, 1902.
The present postmaster, Phillip
Peacock, was appointed on April
1, 1882.
Mr.. Van Ross the efficient and
accommodating assistant postmast-
er, has filled his position since Feb.
l, 1924. Mr.. Ross has been in the
service altogether since Jan. l,
1915.
In 1881 the postofice depart
ment held up the construction of
the new Federal court room and
the much needed addition to the
postofhce building, and for a time
it seemed that the project would be
dropped, but due to the untiring
efforts Of Congressman Robert L.
Doughton, of this district, the
plans were carried forward and the
building completed, with an in
creased appropriation, including an
elevator costing $4,000. Had not
Congressman Doughton insisted On
the completion of the building
with the necessary additions, in all
probability, the work would have
been delayed for years.
Hon. John S. Henderson of Sal
isbury, was chairman of the COM
mittee of postofices and post roads
and while he held this appointment
in Washington, the first rural de-
livery route was inaugurated in
North Carolina an done of the first
in the United States.
Salisbury's new office represents
an expenditure by the Federal Gov
eminent of more than 100000
and is second to none in the State,
and it is said that it is one of the
fine buildings of the nation, it be-
ing one of the very few of pure
white marble structures.
This handsome building houses
the Federal Court which is held
here twice yearly. A Duff, post

quarters here, his territory compris-

Revenue Agent J.. T. Ketner, is
stationed here, also c.. w. Hall, De-
putty Marshall, and Percy Bloxam,
United States Commissioner.
The building houses a navy re-
cruiting station with c. E. Nc

Eight rural routes lead out of
this office.
Thirteen clerks are employed in
the post office, three sub. clerks
and carriers. Four j%anitors, under

as a clerk and is also secretary OF
