Beginning their Individual training in rifle marksman Ship, our three local Army trainees, Privates Norman G. Dean 111, Grover.D. Jeffreys, and James T. Johnson, have spent most of the past week becoming acquainted with their weapons and their firing characteristics On the 25 meter rifle range. The period of familiarization between man and rifle, like nearly all other Instruction un der the "tralnflre" system, Involves actual firing of' the rifle rather than prolonged practice sessions without am munition, characteristic of the old rifle marksmanship train ing. Under this training system the men receive Instruction in range procedures and safety as well as detailed instruction In weapon operation and tech niques before they go on the firing range.

Fountain says the. more he studies the president's ci vil rights legislative package, "the mdre opposed I am to It and the more determined I am to do everything I can to de feat It." Commenting on his earlier press statement that the pro gram Is "uhwlse and un timely." Fountain said that It Is an "all-embracing program of unwarranted severity and unprecedented sweep. "Many of the provisions for Its enforcement would Infringe upon the rights and responsi bilities of the states, . local governmental units and private citizens," he said. "Under the proposed Inter pret^tion of the Interstate Commerce Clause of the Con stitution, almost every retail establishment In the nation, from the lowliest hot dog stand to the grandest hotel In America, could be swept under new federal controls. "In addition, If any citizen's right to equality of treatment Is permitted to transcend another citizen's right to use his own property as he sees fit, ,then we will not be far from Executive Orders or de crees that a private home owner Is no longer free to dispose of his own property as he chooses ? especially if federal funds or guarantees were In any way used In build ing that home. "We have come along way toward solving our racial problems," Fountain contin ued, "and we still have some distance to go. "However, In a proper cli mate ? without outside Inter ference?responsible people at the local level can and will, In due time, In an orderly, sane and sensible way, find an honorable and reasonable solution to such problems. "What so many people seem to overlook Is that solutions to such problems must be sought In a manner consistent with the best interests and general welfare of the entire communi ty. "And the tools most needed to solve these problems--head# County Gets $189,270 For Secondary Roads Franklin County will come In for $189,270* In secondary roads construction and Im provements during the fiscal year that began July 1 under a $1.3 million program adopt ed by the Fifth Highway Di vision recently.
