It is our understanding that the water project is first on the agenda with the sewerage project to follow. This mandate proves that these two projects are of the utmost importance and should be completed at the earliest possible date. Bids for the projects will soon be accepted and in our opinion the mayor and town officials will push the projects with full speed. We feel certain that our officials will handle the projects with utmost integrity to see that a "first class" job is done. We congratulate the 221 citizens who took "time out" to vote on the issues and especially do we commend the more than 200 who voted "yes" thus saying that they want improvement and progress in Marshall and the community.

All members and Tin is used in cam because coating of tin which ia only for this purpose. Smoking In enclosed places, is coining under increasingly severe attack, and programs to protect the non-smoker are being adopted in some areas. Congressman C. W. Young of Florida has introduced a . Non-Smokers Relief Act to require separate seating for smokers and non-smokers on all trains, planes, and buses 1 moving across state lines. Nebraska's legislature has outlawed smoking in elevators, theaters, libraries, art museums, concert halls, and public buses, unless smoking areas are designated. A voluntary "no smoking" policy has been adopted for the Greensboro Coliseum Complex. Special smoking areas have been established and smokers are being requested to use them. Even though the smoking policy is not compulsory, it is still expected to be very effective. There is some sentiment developing in this General Assembly to segregate the smoker from the non-smoker. By 1975, legislation to effect this will probably be in troduced. A bill to increase the membership of the State Textbook Commission from 12 to 25 members and place the power to appoint with the State Board of Education rather than leave it with the Governor, passed the House after being debated for two days. The fact that 21 of the 25 members of the new board are to be teachers or members of the teaching profession, makes it difficult to un derstand why the State's major teacher organization opposed the bill.

' 1 - Raleigh Report X : " , by 1 Ernest Messer - I Due to the fact that the i Governor delayed making appointments to this Com- mission last year, the State , ' was without a textbook Commission r for . several months,- According to school officials, this delay In making appointments held up the adoption of necessary text books and handicapped some classes In the public shcools. This, and the need for more members on the Commission to help absorb some of the added workload, motivated the request by the Department of Public Instruction for the change. . One of the most popular bills introduced this year permits an automobile driver to renew his driver's license without taking a written examination, provided that during the past four years he has not been cited for a traffic violation. The bill has passed the House and is now being considered by the Senate. This is one of the few bills ever proposed to reward a driver for good performance.

A -subcommittee has recommended that the State's attempt to operate its own liquor warehouse be aban doned, and the operation placed back with private enterprise. The State has lost more than $100,000 in liquor shortages since the State began operating the warehouse less than a year ago. The State owns forty-seven airplanes and four helicop ters. A subcommittee has recommended that these planes all be placed under central management, their operation scheduled, and accurate records be kept of their use. A Mental Health Study Commission has recom mended that many inmates of State Hospitals and Centers for the retarded be tran sferred to community group or boarding homes and that day care centers and sheltered work shops be established and utilized for their training. - ii , nsyw "0 FtFtMA OI-fClALV CLAW.LKAI TMC MILI tAr AAIO TeCALOilAL CAPABlLlTy Of ClSSIA, JOB MOiT (OCMIPABll POIiUTIAL OtDNKNT. ft ACT' feao wire whicm the "S0WT HAMS ACKItV AAJO pVtLOPUtMT -PtTOMTO" Of U A-KM40, PiUtU""MHJT O A, H JOU, 5PU1UIK, PUIHN6 MAM IN SPAM, CRU AMD ABM PrLOMt"T.

Kentucky State Comminioner of Public Safety Are you one of the people who call me on the telephone or write me a letter to tell me my troopers are stopping motorists and giving them tickets for "no reason at all"? I wouldn't know. You never give your name. f . You tell me you're a gXod citizen and a safe driver Just using Interstate 64 tor what it was intended speed. And that "dumb cop" gave you a ticket. You break my heart! I hope the next time you're tearing down the road at 85 mph that a trooper catches you before you smash into a concrete bridge abutment and he has to help pry your life leas body out of that crushed speed machine of yours. I hope we can teach you a lesson with a ticket so maybe you don't cause a wreck and cost somebody else his life or her life. You really break my heart telling me you dont have time to go to court about that ticket. I wish you could come with me to the scene of a wreck sometime. I wish I could make you stand and watch a man writhe in the gravel on the shoulder of a highway while he waits for an ambulance that will get there too late to do anything but carry him to the morgue. I wish I could make you help scrape the bits of bone and flesh of a whole family off the asphalt and into baskets. You'd vomit Just like my troopers do, but you'd think differently the next time you climbed into your car. You said you were driving aafely when the trooper stopped you. The road was clear and there was no harm in edging over the speed limit a few miles per hour, you ssid.

What makes the Investment Annuity special, however, is the fact that the funds are in vested for potential growth without handing over control of those in vestments to tha annuity company., It's this flexibUity of control that makes the Investment Annuity different from the conventional "fixed" and the newer "variable" annuities. A fixed annuity is a guar antee by an insurance com pany to pay so many dollars a month for life. The guarantee spalls out exactly how many dollars you will receive after retirement. A variable annuity ia also a guarantee to pay you some thing every month, but the exact amount you receive depends on how wisely the insurance company invests your money over the years. If it. does well, so do you. If it doesn't, your monthly check ia smaller. The Investment Annuity is something entirely new. Like the variable annuity, the size of monthly retirement bene fits depends on the results of investments. In this case, however, it isn't the company who makes the inveetmenta but the investor himself. Its this personal control of in vestments that's caused tha Investment Annuity to be called "the thinking mans re tirement annuity" or tha "people-oriented" annuity. Like all annuity plans, it offers the buyer s big extra saving by postponing the pay- with your ability to Judge road conditions. I'm only sorry a trooper wasnt at that same place a few months ago when a man with a wife and four children had a blowout at over 80 mph'. He might have slowest him down, and his chudnq ybuld still have a father, and ' his wife a husband. Oh, am I getting you mad again? That. man might have been mad if a trooper had stopped him. He might have written me a letter. But he'd be alive. Your letter doasnt bother me, friend. What both ers me is that you apparently haven't learned your lesson. You're probably going to get back behind the wheel of your car, thinking you own the road and nothing can hap pen to you. You dont think about the other people on the road who want to go on living. And who gave your kid driving lessons? You? Then he's probably got a couple of ticketa, too. It's no wonder he weaves in snd out of traf fic, speeds snd leaves strips of bumed rubber at stop lights. I hope we catch him, too, mister; before we have to call you and your wife to identify his body at the morgue. I dont want to catch you cry ing and wishing you hadnt let him have a car until he learned to drive maturely. You aay you want my troopers to let you off with a warning. What you really want is for us to atop doing our Jobs. You want us to let you go until you meet an other guy Just Uka you head on. You're mad because you got a ticket, and you have to take time off from work to So to court. You break my aart, mister. Annuity, tha tax on currant Investment ineom only- postponed. is not but the money that would have gone re - for taxaa it reinvested along . with the net of the capital, ' thareby Increasing even further the growth potential Minder the plan. As. en example, let's 1 suppose you put a total of $10,000 into an Investment Annuity and decided you wanted monthly benefits to start in 16 years. If we assume that the In vastmenta fat your plan will earn an average of 7 per ..XV' year (actually a conservative figure in today's money market), its value will have grown to (24,950, allowing for annuity costs. For comparison, let's assume you took a plan under which you paid the tax on in-, vestment income each year instead of delaying it until re tirement. In thia case, the annuity would be worth $2,200 Jess if you were in the 25 tax bracket, and almost $8,150 leas if you were In the 60 bracket. Aa you can see, the Investment Annuity not only lowers your tax bill, but it helps you pay those lowered taxaa with income earned on the delayed taxes themselves. If you have at least $3,000 in investable funds to start with, you can purchase a aw 111. I 11 EXECUTIVE SEES THREAT TO PRESS FREEDOM "Throughout history, then have been numerous attempts to coerce and mfluknee the press . . Reosnlty, ' however, we aee the beginnings of a new form of pressure against the print media." Citing current political pressure oa newspapers and magazines that carry cigarette advartiaing to provide free apace for anti-cigarette mas sages - Ross R. atillhiser, president of Philip Morrie U.S.A., recently expressed his concern over the increasing incidence of encroachment oa our freedoms of press and Speaking before members of the Virginia Press Associa tion at their 89th Annual Convention in Charlottesville, Virginia, Mr. Millhber warned that "If the American press knuckles under to mis pres sure, to the presnmption by some officials of superjudge meat of what 1 good for aa, it will open the floodgates to a vast outpouring of deraanda foe more free space against other products and ideas that i MufiM fig) e ROBERTS PHARMACY MARSHAU; MX.' &:Stb;CLdsE:I:l At: 1:00 Each Wednesday ,...'! bank.

You can use some of it to buy In surance, or to open a savings account, If you prefer, you can take advantage . of the long-term growth potential of the American economy and provide a hedge against Infla tion by buying mutual funds or stocks through your, own broker or Investment coun sellor. (Should - you realize capital gains, however, these would be assessed to the de posit account at the cor porate rate. The ' tax shelter on investment income does not apply to capital gains ex cept when the annuity is part of a tax-qualified pension, profit sharing or annuity plan.) After you make your orig inal $3,000 deposit, you may add to the annuity at any time either according to a regular plan or whenever you have an additional $60 to de posit. Annuity policies are also assignable, so that you may pledge them for a loan at a bank should you need emer gency funds before you reach retirement. The interest on such loans, Incidentally, is normally tax -deductible. Individuals who are close to retirement may purchase an Immediate Annuity Policy which allows monthly bene fits to start almost immediately.

P, First ' Investment Annuity Company of America, 1846 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, Pa. 19103 VIEWPOINT someone considers to be controversial." Honored by tha VPA aa 1971'a "Virginian of the Year," Mr. MUlhawr went on to state that thia new threat to our freedoms of speech and press, both guaranteed by the Bill of Rights, began with the FCC ruling that bans cigarette advertising on radio and television. Mr. MiUhker is convinced that those persons responsible for these curtailments of our rights honestly believe they are championing and protect ing the public s best interests. "Every attempt at censor ship," however, "is always done In the name of the 'greater good.' But the great est good we have seen in our history has bean when coura geous men have steadfastly Insisted on applying provi sions of tha Bill of Rights against censorship." Aad, according to Mr. MLUhleer, the best guarantor of press freed i jiii ia tha press itesif . . . when it keeps the public fully informed. P.f.C f - : - ' v . ' - '.5- 1 if?!
