The South may stand alone on

Civil rights legislation, pend
ing before the House Rules Com
Imittee and the Senate Judiciary
Committee, would authorize the
attorney general to bring suit
against individuals charged with
civil rights violations.
Southerners have said that
with the United States as a
party. any person in the court

charged with contempt during
the suit would be denied the
fright of trial by jury.
South Stands Alone
Concerning this provision, Mr..
Robertson said:
THE South stands alone-and
I'VE are minority--so far as is
sues involving segregation are
concerned, because the bulk Of
the colored population is con-

finishing job to prepare it for next

Varnish accumulated for years is

Twelve foot foul lanes, to bring the

8I-Yr.-OId Pandora Farmer Looks FOrlCard
To 43rd Season As Cider Press Operator

Although there will still be another
four to six weeks before cider-making
time, Seth Basinger, 81-year-old
Pandora farmer, who has been in the
business AZ years, is impatiently
getting his equipment into shape at
the Morning Star Cider Press north
west of here.
Always cautious about predicting a
bumper crop this early in the sum-
mer, Mr.. Basinger believes the mill
is in for heavy season. He quickly
adds, however, that a dry spell in the
next few weeks could shrivel the
crop and there is always danger of
devastating hail storms this time of
year.
Seth went into the cider business
40 years ago with his friend and
partner, the late Sam Amstutz. They
operated the mill at first on the ]. u.
Amstutz farm, where Seth says cider
had been pressed from apples of local
orchards for nearly 100 years.
When Mr.. AmstutZ died in 1927,
Mr. Basinger moved the Morning
Star Press to his farm and has
operated it there ever since. Now, a
son, Clyde, handles most of he
operation, but Seth still enjoys over
seeing the work and inviting everyone
he sees to come over for a drink. +"
At the time the Pandora man began
processing apples, the juice brought

a grand price Of two cents per gallon.
Seth recalls that when the price went
to five cents people grumbled, but
even at today's prices apple cider
is still one Of the least expensive
natural fruit juices available.
