MALDON, England, UP) — Les
lie Gurnay saw a boy drowning
in the Maldon Municipal swim
ming pool.
Whipping off his sports coat, he
plunged into the deep water and
rescued'the sinking lad.
“I want to get out of these wet
clothes,” Gurnay told a bath
house attendant.
“Certainly, sir,” replied the at
tendant, “but you’ll have to pur
chase a ticket first. That’ll be
a shilling (14 cents).”
Muttering a protest, Gurnay
bought a ticket, took off his wet
clothes, donned a pair of dry
swimming trunks and , drove
home.
Seven indignant members of
the town council said they would
ask at their next meeting why a
hero was charged for his courage.

2 More Pay Steps
The Army’s noncommissioned
officers corps was given two
additional pay steps as two new
“super grades” were added to
the N'CO grade structure.
The addition of the new grades,
E-8 and E-9, means a soldier is
no longer at a standstill when he
reaches the E-7 grade (old title,
master or first sergeant.)
Prior to the new grade struc
ture, a soldier after reaching E-7
could look forward only to
longevity pay increases and j
eventual retirement.
The NCO corps now includes ]
five “top” grades instead of two.!
They include Sergeant Major, |
Master Sergeant or First Ser
geant, Platoon Sergeant (Sergeant
First Class) and Staff Sergeant.
The new enlisted grade struc
ture offers, in addition to the
two new grades, increased author
ity and prestige, and follows in
the light of ' the Army’s new
career compensation pay plan.
The pay plan that went into ef
fect June 1, 1958 gave pay raises
to all soldiers with more than
two years service.

Liberty Bell Brigade
Continues To Boost
Statehood For Hawaii
NEW YORK, UFi — Jackson Mc
Bride, Honolulu, chairman of the
“Liberty Bell Brigade” stumping
for statehood for Hawaii, arrived
here Saturday in his truck which
carries a 3,000-pound liberty bell
replica.
McBride flew to San Francisco
from Honolulu, picked up his IVi
ton truck and bell, and started
cross country on July 2. He has
publicized the brigade’s plea for
statehood in many cities and
towns across the country.
McBride spent Friday night
aboard his truck. The purpose
of his trip, he said, is to take the
statehood plea “to the people,
with the idea of getting all the
publicity possible.”
McBride, 35, is married and
the father of two small children.
McBride said the brigade was
formed a month ago and has at
least 37 other members, including
businessmen, a college professor,
ministers, lawyers, and news and
radio men.
McBride said he himself is
public relations director of the
Dairymen’s Assn., Milk Division.
He said money for the trip and
bell came from donations among
residents of Ouhu Island.
Friday in Washington, capitol
policemen made McBride move
his truck off Capitol grounds.
He was told that only trucks
making deliveries were permitted
on the capitol plaza—with a
permit.
Sitting in a rainstorm, McBride
told police he was “delivering
a message” and thus qualified as
a delivery man.
McBride added he “got in three
good rings” on the bell before
he was forced to remove his
truck from the capitol grounds.
