"VIP" TOUR?A khakl-clad member of the Ft. Lewla Re. ceptlon Station discuaaea American heritage with six new sol diers on a "VIP" tour of the atation'i Freedom Shrine in Freedom Hall. The diiplaya are deaigned to remind the new recruit of his heritage, the part the U.S. Army haa played in the colorful hiatory and development of our nation, as well aa how important it is to pause and reflect on our hard-earned freedom*. 1968 CHEVELLE Station Wagon, fully equipped w/air, was $2495 ?& *2195 Roeford Auto Co. (D?al*r Lie. No. 1303) RAEFORD, N.C. T elevision T ubes Cast World Glow Millions of small screens lieht the world from tropical Sierra Leone to frigid Siberia. Local color and customs often flavor foreign television broadcasts. In one small African country, the entire cast of a program fled the studio when the local witch doctor appeared. Stations in Saudi Arabia begin the day with readings from the Koran. Saudi women are not allowed on programs and a pair of hands is the only live thing viewers see during a popular series on the delights of cooking. Television has spread to 100 countries from Albania to Zambia, the National Geographic Society says. Viewers cluster around the glowing tube in such unlikely placcs as Gabon, Mauritius, and Southern Yemen. More than 225,000,000 television sets are in use around the world. A recent documentary introduced its audience to a "Stone Age people" in New Guinea. Now Australian authorities say that educational television may reach the region within five years. Japan ranks second behind the United States in number of television sets with 20,500,000. Japanese traditionalists delight in kabuki theater, and sumo wrestling by giant ic grapplers. Younger viewers seem to prefer westerns and science fiction films. The medium's impact extends beyond the screen to clothing and speech liabils "We used to be able to tell whether people were Tokyoites or hicks, explained a popular Dependent Housing Option Expanded For Army DSAs WASHINGTON' (AXF) ? rousing options for families o. district senior advisors (L'SAs) have been expanded with the addition of Clark Air Force Base, Philippine Islands, under a plan just ap proved by the Department of the Army. Housing options for family members is one of many benefits provided qualified Army officers who agree to serve 18 months as a DSA in the Republic of Vietnam (RVN) under the DSA Pro gram. DSAs currently serving in RVN will be offered the ini tial opportunity to apply for a limited number of presently occupied dependent housing facilities at Clark. To qualify, the in-country DSA must have a minimum of 12 months remaining in RVN after his dependents arrive at Clark, and he must not have previously exercised an option to locate his depen dents at a base of his choice in either the Continental United States or Hawaii. After eligible in-country DSAs have been offered the new option, it will be opened to DSA nominees entering the 18-month program. Because of the limited number of facilities at Clark, there may be a wait ing period. TV personality, " but this is no longer possible." Italy has experienced a similar transformation. Before the television age, many Italians spoke regional dialects. Now linguists claim people generally converse in the national tongue. A television set in Cairo, captial of the United Arab Republic, offers a rare opportunity to compare cultures and languages. A wide array of programs from the United States, the Soviet Union, France, the United Kingdom, an Czechoslovakia is beamed each night in original languages with Arabic subtitles. Western shows are more popular than the standard Russian fare, which may offer massive ciancs lifting heavy steel, or tractors rolling majestically across vast fields, -- all to a background of solemn, uplifting music. In the United States an estimated 83,000,000 sets make television a way of life. A few holdouts persist, however. One father permanently unplugged the family set after lus son complained that a family mountain climb was not as exciting as the one he had seen on television. Taking the opposite stand, a university professor energetically defended the medium. "Wisdom and knowledge have always come through the visual sense. When a man throws out his television, there's a bit of suicide in it." 1 9 69 FORD Torino GT,fully equipped was $2695 SALE S04QC PRICE 79 Radford Auto Co. (Dealer Lie. No. 1303) RAEFORD, N.C.

Improvement involves content, appearance of individual advertisements and the quality of printing. The typical retailer in a small city knows considerably more about advertising and how to use it ahan his father did. Many old ? time merchants considered advertising as scarcely more than a notice. He did not take in to account the benefits to be derived from good layout, hard ? selling copy, timeliness, or the impact of size. Often he never learned the importance of consistency. The newspaper advertising man of another generation, who attempted to help the retailer with his advertising, often knew less than the retailer about the arts of advertising and selling. At times it was a case of the blind leading the blind. However, even in a comparatively crude form, newspaper advertising was effective. Refinements have made it more effective, and has greately increased the demand for newspaper advertising space. Improved printing equipment being used by many small newspapers has made it possible for the local advertiser reproduction quality was once limited to high quality magazines. The results of improved layout, complete copy, consistent insertions, and better printing are better informed more loyal local consumers. And, of course, more prosperous local retailers.

Rain Dat?, October 31 Sale Conducted By SMITH'S AUCTION E.P. SMITH, Manager F.A. SMITH, Auction** THIS MAY BE THE MOST MISUHDERSTOOD BARGAIN IN AMERICA. MISUNDERSTANDING NO. 1 Everybody knows what's been happening to the cost of living. It's been going up like crazy. About 160 percent since 1940. And if you're like most people, you assume that the same thing has been happening to the price you pay for electricity. So we'd like to correct this misunderstanding. Until this year, there has never been a rate increase in electric service for your home. Not one single residential rate increase in the history of CP&L. MISUNDERSTANDING NO. 2 Why, then, is your monthly bill higher than it was say fifteen, or even ten years ago? Well, just think about this for a minute. How many electric appliances do you have today that you didn't have then? You're spending more, mainly because you're using more. And because you're using so much more, you've actually helped us lower the unit cost of electricity for your home. So the price you pay today for electric ser vice is only about half what it was 30 years ago. And our rates are among the lowest in the country. Just ask someone who's moved here from another state. We hope this corrects the second biggest misunderstanding of all. MISUNDERSTANDING NO. 3 Now we have asked for our first general rate increase. And just in case there is any misunderstanding about this request, we'd like to tell you why. Just as it costs more to run your household, it costs us more to run our com pany. More for fuel. Equipment. Wages. Construction. (And you know what it costs to borrow money these days.) Yet, while everybody's been passing on higher costs to us, we've invested large sums in more efficient facilities, so we wouldn't have to pass them on to you. But we can no longer hold the line. The rate increase we've requested is about 14%, which amounts to less than 6<t a day ($1.72 a month) for our average residential customer. So look at it this way. If CP&L rates had gone up like everything else, elec tricity would be a luxury for a few instead of the bargain it is for everybody. We hope you understand. CML CcxoUo A l?gh? Co^po-y
