Giving Fain a test. Mr. Stable realized immediately that it would bo pos sible for him to hear. Fain, who is a carpenter and a . ick-smith, and has a wife and u ur children, thrilled over the possibility of hearing, yet was un jole to finance the purchase of an aid Then, his friends in Murphy decided to make it a Christmas present to him He says. The first sound I ' heard was the most wonderful fending I have ever had Without my hearing aid I am not able to hear a sound. I can't express what it means to be able to hesr after 49 years of silence." Declaring that this is the most thrilling experience of his life, he says he cannot tell what he enjoys most, "I have never heard my wife's voice before until I receiv ed the hearing aid It'vk 'lie _ sweetest sound in the world to ^ hear my wife and children's j voices. I cant say that there is any certain thing I hear that I | enjoy mosit. I enjoy listening to the radio. .The music is a sweet sound to my ears " Mrs. Fain is teaching her hus band to talk, and he says he thinks it is going to be very simple as soon as he can' receive the full sound The hearing aid is turn ed down to a loy tone until he I gets used to sound. He can use I it only two hours a day at present. Fain says, "I want to thank all of the fine people in Murphy for . presenting me with the hearing aid. I don't think a nicer Christ mas present was ever given or appreciated any more than this " I Funeral Held For Mrs. Timpson Mrs Atheline Timpson, 96. died at her home in the Grape Creek section of Cherokee County Sun day morning after a brief illness j Funeral services were held at 2 p. in.

Army goined it* enviable auto safety record, which tops comparable civilian experience by as much as 50 percent, is through the use of such safety devices as the one above, which measures the spirt seconds from the time a driver sees an obstacle until the time he steps on the brake. The electronically controlled device is being demonstrated to a group of Army drivers by Col. John S. Roosma, Provost Marshal and Safety Director of the First Army.
