Soviet Warns Allies
Of Another Big Day
OF War Maneuvers
BY the Associoied Press

BERLIN, Oct. 8.-The Russians
warned British and American
airlift flyers to expect another
big day of Soviet war maneuvers
today-including gunnery and
parachuting in the air lanes be-
tween Berlin and Western Ger
many.
American officials at the four
power Berlin air safety center said
the Russians had posted a notice
indicating the maneuvers would be
almost as extensive as yesterdays
The Russians included bomber
flights over the Berlin area in yes
terday's drill.
Just how much of the Russians
announced air activity takes place
cannot always be determined. Al
lied flyers plying the corridors across
the Soviet zone frequently have re-
ported no signs of the drills the
Russians announced.
Large-scale Russian activity in
recent days is believed to be con-
nected with the fall war games of
their occupation forces. German
press reports said these have in
cluded mock battles on Eastern Ger
man cities by fleets of bombers, in
Guiding jet models
Berlin May Get More.
Meanwhile, Gen. Lucius D. Clay
told Berliners that they may get
food lift this winter
The American military governor
told newsmen last night that the
Western Allies are planning to grant
small increase" soon
Gen. Clay added that if the pres
ent good flying weather continues
every Western Berliner will have
some coal, too.
The commander said the Western
powers are paying the entire oper-
ating cost of the airlift except for
the German workmen who load
and unload supplies. They are paid
by the German government.
Gen. Clay added, however, that
eventually the German government
will have to pay for the food, too.

A Truly Great Woman

On a bright, beautiful morning
Oct the twenty y-seventh, a shining
spirit left this world and went to
be with God
Minnie Lee Jimison was a great
woman in every sense Of the word.
She was kind, sympathetic thrift
ty, industrious. She loved people,
not only those nearest her, all those
who needed her. Her husbands peo-
pie felt as if she were their own.
She was loyal to her church, her
community, the Grange the school.
She was a neighbor in the broad
est sense Of the word. She was a
busy woman but never to busy to
stop and speak and share the good
fellowship that was a part Of her
nature.
The place that she filled most
was as wife and mother. She was
indeed a helpmeet Her husband
and children can rise up and call
her blessed.
The Wise Man of old must have
had a woman Of her type in mind
when he said: "The heart Of her
husband doth safely trust in her" "
A life like this is a benediction to
any community.
Her sunny smile will be missed on
the streets, by those with whom she
worked.
The irreparable loss of the COM
munity. and her family is Heavens
gain.
It can truly be said:
"She was a good woman"

EVANS RETURNS
FROM CONVENTION

The American public will be saved
millions of dollars through new
methods of merchandising drug
necessities, Druggist J. E. Evans,
proprietols Of the Rexall Drug Store,
at Marion, reported today following
his return from the Rexall Regional
Convention at Augusta, Ga.
After discussing problems of the
Independent druggist with Rexall
executives, Mr.. Evans said the gen
eral outlook for the drug business
during the coming years is bright.
"The retail drug business has a
clean bill of health for holding price
lines against inflation,' he said, Gin
spite of the fact that prices of drug
materials h ave steadily increased
the past few years.
because of advanced merchan-
dising methods developed by Rexall
Drug Company, the 10000 Rexall
druggists like myself throughout
the nation will be able to pass on
vast savings to the public in merch-
andise such as vitamins, oral hygiene
preparations and other home rene
dies essential to public health" Mr..
Evans said.
Improved products developed as
a result of wartime research, now
are being used in everyday drug
products, he explained. "Rexalls
new Kantleek hot water bottle, for
instance, now is made Of an ex-
tremely tough and durable blend of
natural and synthetic rubbers. These
and other discussions led by Rexall
executives stress the drug COM
pany's insistence on rendering the
greatest possible public service in its
stores"
The convention was attended by
approximately 750 Rexall druggists
from Georgia, North Carolina, South
Carolina, Florida and Alabama on
Monday and Tuesday (Oct. 25, 26)
Evans said. A special session for
sales people was attended by three
from his store, on Thursday (Octo-
Der 28).
Among speakers from the drug
company's home office in Los Ange-
les, were J. A. Calvin, chairman of
the board of directors, A. T. Carith-
ers, general sales manager, Charles
Rhoten, manager, sporting goods,
George H. Davis, manager packaged
medicines, and George W. Camp,

partment; Joseph A. Halter, man.
