Plans Decrease
In Bell Interest

TarbOro-The Carolina Tele-
phone and Telegraph Company
today announced that it had
been advised that the South
ern Bell Telephone Company
intends TO dispose of the stock
it owns in Carolina Telephone
by distribution to the public
over period of time
President Dai. HoldernesS
said all of Carolina Tele-
phones approximate 5000
stockholders have been advis-
ed of the proposed stock sale.
He said Southern Bell once
owned about 81; of the Caro-
lima Telephone stock but that
it now owns about l8G, of the
outstanding stock. He has been
informed that Southern Bell
also plans TO dispose of its in
vestment in the Inter-Moun-
tain Telephone Compa an y
which is the only other invest
ment it has in any independ-
ent telephone company.
II is our understanding that
the Southern Bell expects to
offer for sale in the Spring of
1864 about One-third of the
stock it owns in the Carolina
Company, he added. He said
that Southern Bell has no de-
finite plans as to when it will
sell the rest of the stock it
owns in the Carolina Com
pany.
He said Southern Bell felt
the stock sale would be in its
best interest because it would
allow Southern Bell to use the
investment in its own opera
tionS.
Mr.. HolderneSS stated that
to broaden the ownership Of
Carolina Telephone stock
would be beneficial. In addi-
ton, the sale will remove any
question as to the Carolina
Company's independent status,
he added.
In connection with broaden
ing the ownership of its stock,
it was stated that Carolina
Telephone intends to make ap-
plication shortly to list its
stock on the New York Stock
Exchange. This will provide a
national market for the stock
with published reporting of
daily transactions.
Carolina Telephone and
Telegraph Company, with
headquarters in Tarboro, N. c.,
operates in Al counties in east
ern North Carolina. AT the end
of October 1863 the company
had plant investment of
nearly SIPS, 100000 with slight
ly more than $4,000 tele-
phones in service. This COM
pares with plant investment
ten years ago of SAB, 100000
and l12,500 telephones in SER
vice.

a. Pass So All Pass
= Opening lead: King of hearts.
West led the king of hearts,
and declarer quite properly
ruffed in dummy. Then, "for
safety'S sake" declarer led
dummy's seven Of clubs to his
own king.
West discarded a heart, and
South suddenly found the room
uncomfortably warm. It's
strange how the perspiration
comes out when you've just
tossed away a vulnerable slam.
South ruffed a heart with
dummy's 10 Of clubs and led
the king Of diamonds from
dummy, discarding the queen
of hearts from his hand.
West took the ace Of dia-
mondS and considered a shift
to spades. Just in time, how
ever, West remembered that
East had played the seven of
hearts at the first trick and
the three Of hearts on the next
round Of the suit.
Trusts Partner
Trusting his partner, West led
the ace Of hearts, forcing de-
clarer to ruff in dummy with
the ace of trumps. Now East
was sure to win the setting
trick with the jack of clubs.
South should make the slam
by leading the king Of diamonds
from dummy at the second
trick. Declarer diScards a low
heart, and West wins with the
ace Of diamonds.
If West returns a low heart,
South can discard a spade from
dummy and win in his own
hand with the queen. The rest
is easy.
West can make things difficult
only by returning the ace of
hearts. South rufus in dummy
and draws two rounds Of
trumps with the king and ace.
He can then discard two spades
on the queen and jack Of dia-
mOndS to make sure Of the
slam.

Anne Being
Used i'm Local
Rescue Course

Dick Buehler and Ron EW-
ing, swimming instructors at
the Sidney pool, have been
giving instructions in artificial
respiration with the use of a
lifelike manikin called "Anne."
"Anne" as she is affection
ately known by those who
have worked with her, is man
ufactured in Norway, and has
been designed to give identi-
cal responses to that of an I'm
conscious person when mouth
to mouth resuscitation is at
tempted. She has a tongue
which will fall back so as to
block the passage of air I'M
less properly manipulated. Her
jaw is hinged so as to dupli-
cate the action of a jaw in a
living being; and the resis-
tance to air in her artificial
lungs corresponds to that of
an unconscious person. She
has been designed so that with
the use of an additional unit
she can be used for training
individuals in external heart
massage.
While it is recognized that
a person faced with the neceS-
sity for mouth to mouth resus-
citation would hardly stop to
think about germs, sanitation

The sugar company spokes-

is making good progress on an

8 per cent bigger than in 1862.

that total tonnage for har-

The agricrlturist indicated
that favorable growing condi-

ing the harvest period could
result in an improvement above

planting got off to an early
start in the Hardin and Wor-

now reported. "There was some
interruption in planting at
Hardin caused by spring
storms. but this affected only
the last one-third of the total
acreage planted. Sidney dis
trict farmers were held back
about two weeks with their
planting, but when the weather
broke, the crop was planted
in record time and quickly
caught up."
Rosenow said that fields
generally, were cleaner this
year than in the past, partly
because of weather conditions
and partly because herbicides
were used widely.

ber of growers in each of

Seventeen-year-old David

from prison charges and
larceny of a motor vehicle. He
is AWOL from the U. S. Navy.
Both will be returned to
Montana where they will be
charged with first degree as
sault with intent to kill and a
variety of other charges that
stem from their attempt to es-
cape from local law enforce
ment officers.
Many of the events that led
to the capture of the pair
were reported humriedly by
some sources and some of the
information is contrary to what
happened. The Sidney Herald
talked with both Watford City
and local authorities this week
and received this account from
those who took part.
Dial and Clark and a
third companion from the
Watford City area who had
served in the Navy with
them were involved in a
traffic accident in Watford
City the night before their
escapade here. Dial. who
had just been discharged
from the Navy. was re-
leased after he forfeited a
$50 bond. Clark was kept
In Jail when If was learned
he was AWOL. The other
youth was in a Watford
City hospital.
After being treated for mi
NOT cuts, Dial returned to the
Jail armed with a rubber mall
let he had taken from the fire
hall. While another prisoner
was being taken from a cell.
Dial Slugged the night police
man three times on the head
and twice on his arm. When
the policeman failed to drop.
Dial called to Clark to come
out of his cell and the latter
grabbed the stunned officer
around the arms and Dial took
his police revolver.
The jailer then ran from
the Jail for his car for a
gun. but when he got TO
the car he was staring
into the business end of a
.38 revolver.
He later said that "every-
time I turned around that
night I was looking down the
barrel of a revolver"
The two then fled in
ton-and-a-half truck with
a steel box. going south.
After their capture they
told officers they were
heading for Wyoming. but
got lost on country roads
around Watford City. They
came out on Highway IS
and went west toward
Fairview. In the meantime
an unidentified man wit
messed a part of the action
