Miss Kruger, who owns a stan dard poodle named "Roz”, had been in advertising, done groom ing and obedience training, and written a pet column before she opened shop three years ago. ( Those Buses Late; Bears Get Blame ATLANTA W — The Army and an unsung bus company offi cial named Quattlebaum rewrote the story of the three bears today. But neither came up with a prac tical solution to get around the bearicade in the Great Smoky Mountains. The problem arose from the Army’s desire to get fresh re cruits from western North Caro . lina over the mountains to Knox I ville and safely into GI garb with in the rapid schedule laid down by the Pentagon. For this task, the Army has an agreement with the Carolina Coach Company at Raleigh. The Caro lina Mountains are in the juris diction of the 3rd Army, which has headquarters in Atlanta and an area recruiting post in Knox ville. But the buses are persistent ly late getting the rookies into Knoxville. The matter has been brought to attention of HQ in Atlanta by the Knoxville recruit ing officer together with the ex planation provided by J. H. Quat tlebaum, the bus line’s vice pre sident in charge of traffic. Blames Bears Quattlebaum's “brief,” as re layed by the assistant traffic man ager to whom it was addressed, spoke for itself as it reached the senutiny of the Army brass. “T)o be perfectly frank with you,” Quattlebaum said, “even though you may thing I am kid Negroes Flee To Escape Klansmen M A PLESVILLE, Ala HP — Two Negro men who were flogged by a crowd of hooded Ku Klu\ Klansmen have fled with their families front this Central Ala harnt town, authorities disclosed today. The Negroes. Ernest Gotee and will Brown, were among six who were beaten during a terroristic demonstration by a 22—car cara van of klan nightriders last Fri day. Five of the Negroes were beat en in Goree's home by groups of the hooded men who used black jacks and lengths of rubber hose, it was reported. Estimates of the number of Klansmen ranged from 75 to 200. Police Chief Hargis Davidson said no one has filed a complaint about the beatings and none of the klansmen allegedly involved has been identified. The Negroes said the terrorists accused Brown of helping to or ganize a local chapter of the Na tional Association for the Advance ment of Colored People. No rea son was known for beating the others. Davidson said he went on duty Friday night after receiving an anonymous telephone call front out of town saying the Klan would hold a demonstration in Maplts ville Davidson said the klansmen he saw were as “orderly as ehurh —going people.” But during this diversion in an other part of town, the Negroes said a part of the klansmen ar rived at the Goree home where the victims had gathered to watch television together, and began at tacking the Negroes. ding, tbe bears in the Smcky Mountain Park cause the lateness of the buses in the tourist season. “If the weather is pretty and the bears come out of the woods to the side of the road, every tourist and his family has got to stop and try to feed the bears and take pictures and so forth. “This continues until a trooper comesalong and runs the bear back and makes the tourist go on. It is impossible to pass when such happens. It usually takes us from 20 to 30 minutes or longer on a schedule. In other words, If we have three bears, the bus is an hour late.” Suggests Possible Solutions The commandsr of the Knor ville recruting station, Maj. Dor ris N. Gerard, suggested three possible solutions: 1. The weather be chaned to bad on the days when Army re cruit runs are made td discourage both the bears and the tourists. 2. The road be closed to tour ists on such days. 3. Stop all clocks which the boars might read at 9:30 a.m. on Army bad days to delay the ap pearance of the bears by some two to three hours. Gerard added this might result is a secondary traffic jam of tourists wating for the bears to show up. The matter w'as duly forwarded by Maj. Gerard to Lt. Col. Buie Hess, commander of the 3rd Army recruiting district in Atlanta. Gerard pointed out that signs along the highway in the Smoky Mountain Park plainly state that tourists should not feed the bears. The inference was plain that the bears not only won’t tell time but they defy the signs by sitting be side the road with their paws out.

AIR CONDITIONED TODAY & TUESDAY TAYLOR • MALONE *—TIP ON A-** DEAD JOCKEY STEWART UR CONDITIONED TODAY thru WEDNESDAY mmm SIDNEY ROITIER —-E warnerColor Wanner Bros' Polling Places Listed For Nickels Vote Every citizen of Harnett County who buys fertilizer, whether for a small garden or flower bed, or a many acred farm has an oppor tunity to vote August 23 in the Nickels For Know-How referendum. The “Nickels ’ program, only one of its kind in the nation, has been operative in North Carolina since 1951. By law, such a program must be submitted for approval to vot ers every three years. Purpose of the program is to promote agricul tural research. Voters will decide whether they wish to continue an assessment of five cents per ton on fertilizer and feed for support of the Agriculture Foundation. The foundation is con trolled by a board of directors, composed of 100 outstanding farm ers and farm leaders throughout the State. Every county has represen tation on the board, which deter mines what expenditures will be made from foundation funds, and outlines the direction of research by scientists. More than 50 research projects are under way at the research center of the foundation at State Col ege. These include problems of disease, insect control, poor crop stands, soil fertility and improve ment studies, crop diversification, cattle breeding and feeding, poul try marketing, vegetable acid fruit production, forage crops, dairy cattle problems, grain improve ment and production, swine produc tion, ornamental horticulture, and all phases of tobacco and cotton production. Assessments going into the foun dation’s funds are collected from fertilizer and feed manufacturers by the State Department of Agri culture, then turned over to the foundation. The nickel-per-ton as sessment is included by manufac turers in the retail price of the product to the consumer. Average annual cost to the individual fer tilizer buyer is around 30 cents. No advance registration is needed to vote, and voters may cast bal lots in townships other than that of residence. Polling p'aoes open at 6:00 a. m., and close at 6:30 p. m. Voting places in Harnett will be as follows: Anderson Creek, Hi’l’s Garage; Averasboro, number 1, Floyd Alt man's store; Averasboro, number 2, Alphin Brothers store; Barbecue, Buck’s Grocery (formerly Mickey’s Place); Black River, Angier Town Hall; Buckhorn, Spence Harring ton’s store; Duke, Erwin Park; Prove, number 1, Coats Town Hall; — Pay-As-You-Watch TV Is Being Tried NEW YORK (UP)—The number | to call in Bartlesville, Okla, Is I 5616. A simple order on the telephone will transport the screen of the downtown lyric theatre into any citizen’s living room. Bartlesville, a prosperous town | in the heart of the Osage Hills, is ^ the center of the first big fling into pay-in-the-parlor TV. Sub scribers will be able to view a number of uninterrupted movies on their TV sets for $9 50 a month starting in early autumn. They’ll be brought in by shielded cable, an avenue over which (the Federal Communications Commission has no control. Bartlesville is not the scene of a test. It is the scene of a full fledged business venture. There have been at least two large tests with pay TV—one m Palm Springs, Calif., with wire and the other in Chicago by air. Three Movies A Day Zenith ran the Chicago test in 1951. It installed decoders in 300 sample homes for nothing and gave subscribers the chance to watch 90 movies over 90 days at $1 per movie. The movies were shown three times a day. There were good movis, medium movies and some dogs. The average family spent $3.72 a week on its TV movies. Families watched movies about three times as often as they usually did in theatres. The experiment proved so successful that early in the fame outside item flies tried to cheat by listening to the unscramb led sound alone. They gave up when Zenith began scrambling the audio, too. Paramount ran the Palm Springs test in 1953 in 300 picked homes. It was conducted via open wire, a cheap highway for TV programs, but a fairly inefficient one. Open wire goofs when it runs into ob stacles. And it sometimes radiates its signal to such an extent that a program can be picked up free. What Test Showed Nevertheless, Lou Novins, vice president of Paramount’s teleme G-rove No. 2, Agriculture buildign, Coats; Hector's Creek, Reid Smith’s store; Johnsonville, Com-; muntiy Building; Lillington, coun ty agriculture building; Neill’s Creek, Corliss Johnson’s store; Ste wart Creek, Joe Strickland’s store; Upper Little River, number 1, O’ Quinn’s store at Mamers; Upper Little River, number 2, Thomas’ Farm Service. ter firm points out that were val uable conclusions were drawn from the test: The greatest market for pay TV shows is the low income group. People will pay to watch any : ' kind of uniterrupted movie even if it's a dog. In Bartlesville, 38 miles of wire \ are being strung right now on tele phone poles by a firm called Vu more Inc. Vumore is a subsidiary of Video Independent 'theatres, a chain that operates some 150 mo vice houses in the Southwest. Bartlesville, headquarters of Phillips Oil, was chosen because Vi deo Independent owns all four the atres in the town—two convention al, two drive-ins. Its citizens get good TV reception and all three _ networks—two from nearby Tulsa and one from Muskogee, Okla. It’s a jumping town. Back in 1950, Its population was 19,228. Now its estimated more than 30, 000 citizens liven in Bartlesville. Its median income back in 1950 was $3,573, exceptionally high for the state. The educational level is high and unemployment is low. How Wires Will Work The 38 miles of cable that Vu more is laying will cost about $104, 000. Vumore will sell the cable to Southwestern Bell which, in turn, will rent it back to Vumore for $3297 a month. As a studio for beaming its movies, Vumore will use the re-modeled Lyric Theatre seating capacity: 700. The Lyric has been converted at a cost of 35, 000. There are 8000 TV homes in Bartlesville and Vumore hopes to sell to 4000 of them. Actually, the project can operate with 1500-2000 customers. Originally, Vumore planned to give its customers 13 telemovies a month for $9.50. It has now upped the number of films to 30. It won't charge anything for instal lation. Some of the movies will foe shown currently with the ether conventional house in town, seme before and some after. Video Independent has permits from 35 other cities *in the South west, including Tulsa, Oklahoma City and Lubbock, Tex., according to C. O. Fulgham. vice president of the theatre chain. He sees pay , TV a-coming, but he doesn't think it means an end to the convention al movie house. “We’ll continue to have movie houses,” says Fulgham “as long as boys and girls want to hold hands."
