Neither Rocks Nor
Dynamite Can
Stop Old Touge
FRANKLIN, N. C., W — Old
Touse is a blue tick-bulldog
hound, one of the ibest coon dogs
in mountainous Macon County.
Luke Chastain of Otto is his
master.
Two weeks ago, Old Touse and
a smaller dog, baying joyfully, ran
a coon through a crevice in a
granite cliff just over the Georgia
border.
Then they couldn’t get out. It
looked hopeless. Luke took his
hammer and chisel, though, and
*began pecking away at the stone.
F:ve days later the smaller dog
thinned down from loss of weigh,
escaped. But as he did, some rocks
slipped and penned Old Touse
even more securely.
The dog could only poke his
nose through the hole for food
and water.
Luke kept chipping away, and
fellow hunters spelled him. The
13th day came and Old Touse was
still alive, but time was growing
-hort and there was only three
inches of room to swing the ham
mer.
Luke decided. Red Talley, 15,
of Satelah, Ga., wriggled into the
crevice and set a dynamite charge
then squirmed out. There was an
explosion and a cloud of rock,
dust, closely followed by Oid
Touse.
Coons beware. Old Touse is
gonna ride herd on you again !

v-nd Social Security
Social Security Is Not
Intended As Total
Retirement, Says Advisor
JUNEAU — “How do you ex
pect me to live on that?” This is
the question often asked the folks
at the social security office when
a claimant is told what to expect
in the form of monthly benefit
checks.
Everell C. Cummins, manager of
the Juneau social security district
office reminds us that social se
curity benefits were never in
tended to furnish all of a person’s
income when he retires. However,
these insurance checks form a
foundation upon which to build a
retirement structure. A working
person should strive to build addi
tional protection by means of pri
vate effort and individual thrift.
Cummins states that surveys con
ducted by his bureau show that
three out of four social security
beneficiaries have other income.
There are some twelve million
persons now drawing $650 million
dollars monthly in social security
benefits, but only 25 percent of
the aged beneficiaries depend on
their social security benefits alone.
In planning for your retirement,
and for the security of your fam
ily in case of death or disability,
an estimate of probable amounts
of social security benefits payable
to you and to your family is
necessary.
Cummins says that his office
will be glad to cooperate by esti
mating the amount of social se
curity a person may expect when
he retires. He has a motto that ad
vises prospective retirees — “In
quire before you Retire.”

cial security contact your social
security representative, Box 131,

Federal Judge Will
Void Merger of
Alaska Unions ,
WASHINGTON, OP) — Federal
District Judge F. Dickinson Letts,
who is arming Teamsters Union
monitors with powers to enforce
a union cleanup, said yesterday
he intends to void a merger of
union locals 183 nd 859 in Alaska.
Letts cited the Alaska locals
merger as an instance where
Teamsters boss James R. Hoffa
and the union failed to follow
out monitor reform orders.
Judge Letts said the union con
stitution provides that no local
union can dissolve, secede or dig
affiliate while there are seven
dissenting members. The court
said official minutes of a Decem
ber 12, il957, meeting of Local 183
at Fairbanks indicated 12 mem
bers voted against consolidating
with Local 859.
The court ruled also that insuf
ficient notice of a merger meeting
was given and that “the question
of merger was never presented as
a single clear-cut issue.
“The approval of the merger,”
the court^said, “was treated as a
part of or as a prerequisite' to
the request for the granting of au
tonomy and the two questions
were presented for a single vote.
“The record does not disclose
that any sufficient and adequte
notice had been given to the mem -
bers that the question of merger
would be considered and voted
upon. The court thinks that for
this reason lone the merger so
effected will be considered as
void.”
Second Testing Of
Round-Trip
Snark Missile
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla., UFi —
A Snark guided missile, the na
tion’s most advanced weapon ca
pable of spanning intercontinen
tal range, blazed across the At
lantic early yesterday on the start
of a round trip flight.
The 69-foot weapon was fired
once before from the Cape and
recovered.
One of the goals of this shoot
reportedly was to test new instru
ments aboard the Snark. The
range attempted and type of new
equipment used was not dis
closed.
The Snark, capable of carry
ing a nuelear warhead over a
6,000-mile range, will become op
erational next July when the first
unit is assigned to Presque Isle,
Maine.
