Savings Bonds Gone Streamline WASHINIGiTON, D. C. — 'Don't (be surprised if that United Sta tes Savings Dond you 'ouy from now on looks and feels a little different — it’s just gone .stream, line. In keeping wiuh the electronic (brain and otiiei advancements of tine modern era, tne new Series if ibond is going to n'ave more “punch.” In fact its full of pun cues — lo or mem. but don't ret these worry you. They're just an other sign- uti progress im uiis day of mechanize,.km. And, inciden tally, 'will save you 500,000 tax dollars a year in reduced printing costs. The Treasury says the only other 'Savings 'bond now offered, tne current income 'H bond, will continue to be printed on paper stock in the old size. The 'punch card bond is small er than its predecessor, and will be handier to carry in a man’s coat pocket or a lady's handbag. (It might oven prevent some on those washing machine tragedies caused when the fellows had to fold the old bond, then forgot to remove it'from a shirt pocket.) The now size will also make it easier to stow away tbonds in your strong box *or bank safety deposit u»ox. 'Hie actual size of the E bond is 7 3-8 by 3 1-4 in ches. 'fine old bond is i 3-4 by 4 1-4 inches. iKor any 'Who might be curious about the 13 ipuncnes, the Treas ury offers tin is explanation, me first punch denotes the size of the loond. Tor example, a ijiltxl v bond would have a punch down in the fourth position. The next 14 columns, or punches, retpre sent the serial number, and the twelfth indicates it is a Series E bond. Hie thirteenth column is reserved for special accounting operations Joy toe Treasury wnen the bond is cashed. Other than the smaller size, the punches, and the flexible cardboard stock on which it is printed, the now bond looks very ■muck like the old one. It contains about; the same wording and il lustrations. One exception is the wording, "eight years,and eleven months from issue date x x x.’’ This change in maturity (from “nine "<M STATES NOW HAVE PRIVATELY-OWNED TAX-PAYING TREE FARMS .COVERING MO'RE THAN 424)00,000 ACRES OF WELL MANAGED woodlands-' with tree farming, we harvest. , WOOD FOR TODAY WHILE ■ GROWING TIMBER FOR TOMORROW/ TREE FARMS RANGE IN SIZE FROM .

The new table of redemp tion values also appears on the back. The other exception: most of the punch car Ibonds carry the signature of the new Secretary df the Treasury, Robert B. Anderson, who succeeded George M. Hum phrey on July 29. So don't worry when your next Savings Bond is “shot full of hol es.” The Treasury wants to assure you it’s the same “safe and sound” Series E bond you’ve been buying since 1941 — to the tune of nearly one hundred billion dollars worth. The E in “E Bond" stands for Excellence in every iway: com plete safety, principal and inter est guaranteed by the United States Treasury.

MURRAY’S 610 Stone Street Off Cleveland Ave. A STATEMENT OF PRINCIPLE - I he newspapers of North Carolina, conscious of their obligations, and mindful of their own human imperfections, rededicate themselves to these principles which guide a responsible press in a free society. I Freedom of the press exists in a democracy, not for the power or profit or pleasure of any in dividual, but for the common good. The right of the people to know cannot be denied or dimin ished without endangering democracy itself. It is the obligation of the press to provide accurate, timely and complete information about all de velopments which affect the people's political, economic or social well-being. Given the facts, the people usually will reach wise decisions. II The trusteeship of a free press is tire final re sponsibility of the publisher. He may share it, but he cannot escape it. The good publisher provides the necessary money and space for adequate cover age of the essential news and employs personnel of integrity, ability and sound judgment. He exalts accuracy above every other consideration, and in sists upon prompt, full and even generous correc tion when errors occur. Ill Every citizen deserves the stimulus of a strong editorial page, on which the editor voices his own well-informed opinion, clearly and forcefully; yet willingly provides space for contrary opinion. The good editor ofttn takes sides, but without arrogance or intolerance. He champions boldly the rights of the people, sometimes against govern ment itself. He provides leadership, particularly in his own community. He has a special responsibil ity to defend the weak, to prod the public con science, and to speak out against the injustices of which a majority can sometimes be guilty. IV The primary function of a newspaper is to re port the news. The good reporter strives con stantly to find and write the truth. This task, no matter how difficult, is his unescapable responsi bility. To be true, a story, together with its headlines, must be honest. To be honest, it must be fair. To be fair, it must be accurate and complete. Honesty demands objectivity, the submergence of prejudice and personal conviction. Fairness de mands regard for the rights of others. Accuracy demands courage, painstaking care, and perspec tive to assure a total picture as true as its individ ual facts. V The final test of every story, every headline, every editorial, every newspaper is: Is it honest? Is it fair? Is it accurate? To the end that they can more frequently answer these questions in the affirmative, the newspapers of North Carolina adopt this state ment of principle. Adopted unanimously by the North Carolina Prut Association at it» 90th Annual Institute m Chapel Half N. C, on January It, 1909.' Arrest Tally Lists 110 Fifty . six cases of motor vehic le violations headed the list of 110 arrests on the September ar rest tally shget issued by Kings Mountain Police Department Wednesday. Public drunkeness cases ran a good second with a total of 18. Capiases and Investigations came next with five each and as sault on a female and larceny drew a count oif 4 each. Three cases each for violation of prohibition laws and driving under the influence were arrest ed. Assault, resisting an officer, and disposing of mortgaged pro perty were listed at two arrests each. * Only one arresc each was re ported for non-support of an ille gitimate child, rape, - worthless check, temporary insanity, as sault with a deadly weapon, and use of profane language in a public place. State Fair Plans Junior Daily Show Climaxing the state’s Junior Dairy program lor the year, ap proximately 300 entries are ex pected for the Junior Dairy Cattle Show at the North Carolina State Fair, October 15-19, according to J„ D. George, extension dairy spe cialist of N. C- State College. This is a slight increase in number of entries over former years, and the quality otf animals is expected to (be very good as all of the animals entered at the State (Pair will have'been screen ed in the county and district snows that have oeen held ear lier This fall. Mr. George points out that while the Danish system of jud ging is used in the Junior shows, champions are selected. The champion animals are then eligi ble for competition in the “Open” senior shows and may compete against senior entries for best of breed and for the grand champ ionship honors. Junior county herds are offer ed prizes, also. A county herd consists of six animals of one oreed pooled from the offerings of at least four different exhibi tors from one county. Each coun :y may enter one herd Ifor each of the following breeds: Holstein, Jersey, Ayershire and Guernsey. Judging of all Junior Show en tries will be on Tuesday, October 15, starting with Holstein and Jerseys at 9 a. m., and the Ayer ihires and Guernseys at albout 1 p. m. No exhibitor may show more than two animals, and each animal must be registered in the name of the exhibitor npt iater than August 1, 1957. Entries in Junior Dairy classes close fuesday, Oct. 1, 1957 at 6 p. m. MORE ABOUT laycees Heard Contimoed, From Front Page enough for all to enjoy it. “It is these concerns, the ones that are able and willing to make the big investment and1 take the big risks that are going to discover and produce the new products of tomorrow. And every, one will benefit — all levels of business, all levels of consumer.” Mr. Noyes said that business oti every size must increase product ivity in order to keep up with the country’s growing population, which is expected to increase by nearly 50,000,000 people in the next 20 years, and the ever in creasing demand for a higher standard of living. Mr. Noyes reported that the Du Pont Company spends more than $75,000,000 a year on research. Yet, on the average, he said, only one out of 20 research ideas ev er becomes a commercial product, and it takes an average of 10 i years to get one from laboratory | to consumer. “We feel that the risk is justi. fied, however, because we find ■ that for every dollar we spend I on research, we gain new know! , edge which enables us to spend j about three dollars on construc tion of new plant facilities,” he| added. After trying to pull apart a j ! sheet of “Mylar” only 1/500 of ■ an inch thick,' Mr. Noyes explain. ■ j ed this film has a tensile streng. th of more than 23,000 pounds ; per square inch. He added that "Mylar” is chemically inert, an i almost absolute moisture barrier, and has excellent insulating pro. perties. He described a few of the cur. • rent uses of “Mylar”: sound - re cording tape, a base for metallic j yams and metalized film, refri gerator insulating material, weather balloons, surgical dress ings. packaging, and electrical insulation, wh'ich has permitted redesign of many electric mo ; ‘ors to reduce their size and wei. ght by 50 per cent. Another product of research i discussed by Mr. Noyes was hy per - pure silicon, which Du Pont scientists have refined so highly that impurities are measured in parts per billion. This has proved to be a key to the harnessing of solar energy and an important material for the electronics in dustry. ‘Ut is hard Ifor an empty bag to stand upright,” said wise Ben Franklin, bom 250 years ago this year. That was one of his ways of preaching thrift. Today he’d say: “Buy IU. S. Sawings Bonds regularly.” IN GOSPEL SINGING PROGRAM--Members of the Blue Ridge Quar tet of Spartanburg, S. C. will be among the group of performers who will present a program of gospel singing Friday night beginning at 8 p. m. at Kings Mountain high school auditorium.
