Doggonedest Hangover for Beer Tippling Canine

BROCKTON, Mass. R-Alfonzo Saturday had the biggest doggone hangover in town.
 The 7O-pound canine was in the dog house after making a specta- cle of himself Friday night during trot of the local pubs. Friendly patrons helped him to his favorite beer and, well, Alfonzo just didn't know when to stop.
 Thirst quenched, the boxer tried to wander alone down one of Brockton's main streets. In obvi- ous distress, he wobbled, weaved, stopped, leaned against a utility pole for support and finally col lapsed.
 Aroused or just curious specta- tors called police, who classified the boxer as a drunk and took him home.
 The dogs owner, Harry Al phonse, explained people like Al fonzo and Alfonzo likes beer, and they all usually get along fine.
 But after Friday nights spree, Alfonzo might well bark: ''It's a dogs life"
 And he should know.

New Route to DEW Line To Be Blazed During Winter

SEATTLE, R-The Alaska Freight Lines will pioneer a new route through arctic regions dur ing the coming winter, the Seattle Times said it learned Saturday.
 An informed source in New York said Friday that the Seattle firm will haul construction mater ials into northern Canada from Alaska for the DEW line radar network. How far east the trans portation operation will extend was not specified.
 Steel and concrete for the radar stations will be taken north from Eagle, Alaska, and then into Can ada. The materials are being shipped by barge from Seattle to Valdez and then by highway to Eagle.
 Last winter the Alaska Freight Lines made arctic transportation history by breaking a truck route to the Arctic Ocean from Fair banks. Trucks, moving in path cut by bulldozers, left the end of the highway at Circle City and travelled hundreds of miles thru mountains and over rivers and tundra, where wheeled vehicles never had been before.

Savings Bonds
Sales In County
Total S32>856.2l

G. Harold Myrick, U. S. Savings
Bonds Chairman for Lincoln
County today announced the pur-
chase of Series E and H Savings
Bonds totaling $17.825.00 during
the month of February. This
brings the Savings Bonds sales
total for the January and Febru-
airy period to S32 ,856.25 which rep
resents ITO pct of the county's
1855 quota.
A monthly sales report compil-
ed in the Greensboro Savings
Bonds office of Walter P. john
son and released by State Chair
man of U. S. Savings Bonds Ad-
visory Committee, w. H. Andrews,
Jr., showed that sales during jan
uary and February for the entire
state amounted to $10.637 .617.50
which is an 18 pct. achievement
toward the 1855 state quota and a
81 pct. increase over 1854.
This months report based on
Federal Reserve figures reveals a
continued drop in redemptionS
which was S pct. less during the
first two months of this year than
for the corresponding months of a
year ago. The net increase of sales
over redemption reflected the big
gest net gain for any two months
period since 1949.

Lincoln County Blood
Program Chairman

Will you be one of those who
remembers to give pint of blood
to the blood bank tomorrow? We
need over a hundred and fifty
donors if we are to meet our
quota of 145 pintS. OF all of the
healthy adults living in Lincoln
County, this is a mere handful,
and yet we often have less than
this when the Bloodmobile visits
our county.
MUST HAVE RESPONSE
1t is a disgrace if we in the
fine county that is called Lincoln
cannot show a greater interest
in one of the most vital health
services operating soleful for our
benefit. Our county can easily
go over the 100 pct. mark if
enough donors will respond to the
call.
We have quite a few gallon
donors and others who have given
nearly that much. These persons
are very faithful in supporting
the blood program and some of
them have never benefited di-
rectly from the blood program.
At the same time there are many
persons in the county who have
benefited directly from the blood
program who have shown little
or no interest in securing blood
Ionors for the bloodmobile visits.
It is net fair for a few people

ed they were planning to intro
duce a bill in Raleigh to make
the primary system the legal me-
thod of candidate selection in
Lincolnton. Recommendations as
to date and election procedure
for the bill providing for primary
were asked of the board. Clark
and Garrison listed May % as
the date for the city election,
April 80 as the primary date.
In the same issue, the town
carried an election notice naming
May Bird, the traditional date, as
the time for the city election.
Names of registrars, judges and
location of polling places were
listed in the notice.
BOARD FOLLOWS CUSTOM
Mayor E. Carr Heavier told
The Times today, that under the
present law and as the board GUS
tom every two years, the May
3rd date for the city election was
set at the monthly meeting the
first week in March. At this time,
no notice had been received of
proposed bill to set up primary
system, he said. This. the March
meeting, was the time of year to
set the election date. it was
explained, under the current law
covering the election procedure.
If some other method is adopted,
then the election procedure
would change. 1t was pointed out
that the town board sets the elec-
tion date, but that the mass con-
vention date is set by the party'S
county chairman.
Mayor Heavier said he was
not opposed to primary; that
it was his understanding the
town board is agreeable to the
wishes of the people on cleo
ton procedure in LincOlntOn.
He pointed out that if the pro-
posed bill by Rep. Clark and
Sen. Garrison is passed in the
General Assembly, then the
May 3rd election date will be
superseded by the May % (gen-
eral electiOn) and April 80 (pri-
nary dates. The Legislature
can set whatever date e(sl it
wants, it was explained.
Although the town board mem
berS have not expressed them
selves publicly on the election
procedure issue, one report was
that some felt that the people
should be allowed the opportun-
ity to vote in a general election
whether they preferred the con-
vention or primary system in Sc
lecting the town candidates for
mayor, alderman, school board.
Rep Clark and Sen. Garrison
stated. publicly, that they have
found the sentaiment of Lincoln
