FAT FIBERS
Skinny fibers in shag carpets
art gone with the wind. The trend
now is carpets mod* with short,
fat fibers. These carpets are pro
ving durable, and more easily
cared-for thon the long shags
which were so populor a couple
of years ogo

According to Office
Deputy Betsy Frazier
Michael W. Owena, »'

two felony warrants in
Virginia Beach, Deputy
Frazier said, for murder
and for using a fire arm
in commission of a
murder.
He was held without
bond in Warren County
Jail until Monday when
he was released to the
custody of Virginia
Beach authorities after
signing extradition
papers.
Deputy Frazier said
Owens indicated he knew
some residents of War
ren County, and was
enroute to their home
when he decided to turn

at the time of his arrest
as Lawrence Alston's
brother. However, Depu
