In Memorial
Just a thought in memory of
our faithful sister, Arlie Ann
Ball, who passed away a few
weeks ago.
We seem to give her back to
thee dear God, who gavest her
to us. Yet as Thou didst not
loose her in giving. So we, have
not lost her in her return.
for life is eternal and death
is only a horizon and a horizon
is nothing save the limit of our
sight, thus we remember her.

Pair's Death
Is Attributed
To Monoxide!
West Jefferson, Aug. 23.?The
mysterious deaths of a Laurel
Springs couple were possibly
cleared up yesterday by a pre
liminary autopsy report which
stated that they probably .died
of carbon monoxide poisoning.
Russell Bain Sheets, 37, and
Irene Sexton, 30, were found
dead in the back seat of a car
in a parking area on the Blue
Ridge Parkway Sunday.
Pressley Vyers, Laurel Springs
community, saw the car earlier
in the day and became curious
when it stayed parked for sev
eral hours.
Vyers investigated and found
the two bodies sitting upright in
the back seat of the car.
No Marks of Violence
No marks of violence were
found, and early guesses about
carbon monoxide poisoning were
rejected by officers when they
were told that at least one win
dow of the car was down when
Vyers found it.
The motor of the car was still
running when the bodies were
discovered.
Yesterday, the two bodies were
taken to Baptist Hospital in Win
ston-Salem, and autopsies were
performed. Last night, doctors
gave a preliminary report which
stated that carbon monoxide was
the cause of both deaths.
No explanation has been of
fered by officers as to how the
window of the car was lowered
to permit the escape of the dead
IjrHbut invisible gas.
Funeral Planned
Funeral services for Miss Sex
ton will be held at 11 a. m.
Wednesday at the Church of the
Brethren of Peak Creek, Rev.
Kermit Farrington will officiate
Miss Sexton is survived by her
parents, Mr. and Mm Archie
Sexton, and seven brothers and
sisters, Wilmer, Gale, Paul, Her
bert, Alene, Mae and Faye Sex
ion all of Laurel Springs.
Funeral arrangements for Mr.
Sheets were still incomplete late
ast night.

For Your
Information
To carry out findings of an Emergency Board appointed
by the President of the United States under the National
Railway Labor Act the nation's railroads necessarily
agreed with the Non-Operating Railway Labor Unions to
establish a 5-day 40-hour work week effective September
1. 1949.
This will require the closing on Saturdays and Sundays
of many freight stations and offices heretofore open to the
public?on the Southern as well as on all other railroads
throughout the country?so that employees generally may
be given two consecutive days off each week. Under the
settlement the employees will receive for five days' work
the equivalent of wages formerly pcdd for six days' work.
President Truman's Emergency Board points out that the
shorter work week is in keeping with the increasing trend
In industry, banking and business generally.
For the railroad industry, which must keep the trains
running day and night every day in the week, the change
will create many difficult problems. The Southern, with
your whole-hearted co-operation and sympathetic under
standing. pledges to make the changeover with the least
possible inconvenience to the public.
