INi.vOEs ~ SlOcE Up---

Richard NiXons stock presidential candidate has
up significantly since Sen Kennedy's thoughtess
mark about apoogizng for the Up incident had he been
president NiXon record favorable enough before
that time and rightly Nixon has expressed his conf
dence in the policies of the Eisenhower administration and
has shown himself to be experienced and determined
leader
The Republican record should speak for itself also
gardng jobs prices national security takehome pay. An
EDITORIAL from the Republican national headquarters gives
these facts
Under the Republican policies since 1853 American
workers and their families have Jared better than
fore.
In these and half COP years. the cost of living
has up only 10 per dazzling contrast to the 48
increase which rdded values during the
years.
In the period the value of the dollar has declined
less than Nickel in contrast the 5O-cent decline the
preceding Democratic years.
Bostered and encouraged by this financial stability
American under Republican policies has expanded
to provide altme record 655 million jobs rs per
than available under the Democrats in the
boom which accompanied the preceding administration
And these jobs record wages In 1852 average week
y earnings about $4,000 per greater than the
$67.97 of 1862.
Family income under the COP is % per cent higher than
under the Democrats and this difference by
steader prices
But this isn't all The future great Since 1858 our
gross national product the total of all jobs and all
economic activity has grown by than 35 per cent
in 1860 it will crash through the historic half ron- dollar
barrier
This sustained, solid growth means even more Jobs
even more income and security for tomorrows
families and their children.
Good reasons for voting Republican this fall.

7 Teachers Retire
From School System

An unusually large number of
teachers from the county school
system retired this year from ac-
tive service, it was announced by
Willard L. Hawkins, county super
intendent. In all, there we're seven
teachers who retired last Monday,
accounting for approximately 400
of the total teacher turnover in
the county to date. The trend to-
ward a number of teacher retire
ments each year from the local
school system can be anticipated
for the next five to ten years, he
added. This is due to the high age
bracket of number of teachers
who will have had the required
numbers of years of teaching eX-
perience to qualify for retirement
within the next several years. This
will increase the need for teacher
requirements and will also bring
to the county a group of younger
teachers, likely to increase the an
nual percentage of teacher turn
over.
For the past few years Garrett
has had one of the smallest teach

BOzMbeES wiz begin Lou
Altitude Missions Deer. Area

Strategic Air Command BAT and
B-52 jet bombers will begin flying
low-level missions over Oakland
within the next few weeks, Cen
eral Thomas S. Power, EAS Com
mander in Chief, announced this
week.
The mammoth jet bombers will
fly both day and night missions in
all types of weather, General
Power said. This loW-level flying
will increase EAC's combat crew
proficiency, enabling the crews to
perform any bombing tactic in any
type of weather, day or night, the
general added.
Oakland is along an air route
recently approved by the Federal
Aviation Agency for use by SAC
in its low-level training, General
Power explained. Both the siX-jet
BATS and the eight-jet B-52s will
fly at attitudes of 1000 feet above
highest point along their routes.
The route begins at Redwood,
West Virginia, goes eastward to
a point west of Charlottesville, Vir-
ginia, north to WesternpOrt, Mary
land, then southwest to Lexington,
Kentucky.
General Power emphasized that
the bombers will fly at about go
miles per hour, so local residents
will not hear sonic boOms In fact"
he added, SAC" will do everything
possible to cause as little annoy
ance as possible to citizens along
the route"
AT the same time" he continued,
I'VE hope everyone will realize the
necessity for training our crews
under all types of situations. In
every case, the safety of local resi-
dents and of our crews will be the
paramount factor in our planning
General Power concluded.
