ment plans. Parry completed his

proximately 100000 miles dur
ing that time. He and his wife

Wave OF Thefts
Hits Blackbird,
Townsend Areas;
No Arrests Made

A series of burglaries and at
tempted breaking and enterings
in the local area have kept state
police detectives extremely busy
in the past few days. Four COM
plants in the Townsend-Black-
bird-Odessa area have been in
vestigated, but no arrests have
as yet been made. Intruders
broke into the Flying A Service

breaking glass in an overhead
door. Ten dollars in change was
stolen from a cabinet. Approx.
imately $l2 in change in a coir
box was taken from soft drink
vending machine at service
station operated by Edward
Grace at Ginns Corner. Police
believe that the same thieves
are responsible for breaking into
Watson's Service Station or
Route l3 north of Odessa. Sulli.
vans Bazaar at Townsend was
also burglarized of candy ano
cigarettes. Ten dollars was also
taken. All cases were investi.
gated by state police detectives
at the State Road troop. AL
though officers expressed the be-
lief that the thefts and entries
might be the work of the same
persons, no direct tie-in has
been uncovered. Work to un.
cover clues continues today.

sible participation in all athletic

continue sound policy in order
to graduate into this community
well stabilized citizens" she
stated. Miss Jane Reed and Will

"The Family F'allout Shell
ter" a booklet published by
the Office of Civil and De-
fense Mobilization is one of
the years most important
publications though it re-
ceived no rating on any best
seller list. It is an essential
publication for everyone who
can read.
Every person should know
that radioactive fallout can
be carried by upper air
currents great distances from
a nuclear explosion. Fallout
radiation can be extremely
dangerous.
Adequate shielding is the
only effective way of pre-
venting radiation casualties
in the wake of a nuclear
attack. A family fallout shell
ter, adequately equipped,
would be one of the safest
refugees in such an emergency.

Slowly the moon glides
Across the evening sky,
The black dirt falls,
Like rain on the cleaning coffin,
There's no returning, no way by,
You live but once
And the moon glides often.
Farewell, farewell, my beloved
Parting cannot be for ever
The black coach has descended,
With your life and laughter
My life too was ended,
You died but once
Now the moon glideS never.

Ambassador Cabot took up
the subject of religious per-

out that friction, where it eX-
