We, too, are still moderately active altnough Anne has had a rather rough time since the middle of January. She began with a cold which developed into Ber old trouble bronchitis. This was followed by different acnes and pains until about three weeks ago she developed cOnjunctivitis. She gets better one day and worse the next. She seems definitely better today and I hope she Will continue to mend. She has not been confined to the bed much of the time, but it goes rather hara with her to be confined to. the house so long. We received a letter from Edgar a few minutes ago. Helen has been troubled with some baek trouble. She has been going to a specialist in Tallahassee and he told her iast week She could begin her normal activities again provided she is very careful. The "Old man" is still plodding along, taking . thingssmsa rather easily, spending a part of the time in the garden, part time in ehureh work, part time loafing around the house. Last fall one of our members deedea to the church a lot, building and contents consisting of machinery and equipment for a "hobby shop" and quite a “Tittle junk of various kinds. He had tried to dispose of it without success and was tired fooling with it so he ‘gave it to the church and left town. Looking after this has fallen to my 10% and has. taken considerable time. I have, with some help from others, succeeded in selling the major part of machinery and have sola the lot and building on easy terms. If all works out well, we will realize at least $4000.00 from the property, all to be applied on our over all building plan. ? We are having an extended dam rainy spell after a very unusually dry February. The rains, so far, have not been heavy and have been beneficial in helping the early planting of seeds to germinate ana grow.

Prospects for lettuce are good, Irish potatoes are up and growing nicely, beans will be up in a day Sa. possiblg in time to be caught by any late frost that may come af a result of the cold Wave now raging in the northern states.

Our work is progressing nicely with large erowds and eonsiderable interest. rarely does a Sunday pass without from one to a half dozen additions to the chaireh membership.

That consolidated school lasted on, with three or four teachers, until 1951, when it was discontinued, with the Hopewell students sent to Central and the Olin students sent to Harmony, the Jennings Road as the divid- ing line. The abandoned schoolhouse was sold to the community as a ‘River Rat'' Concept Pays CARSON CTY, Nev. (AP) — The river boatman warns pas- sengers to hang on, and then expertly manuevers his raft through thrashing waves and past treacherous rocks to cal- mer water. The riders, who pay up to $50 4 day for such trips, bail water out of the rubber rafts and make sure the beer sack is still trailing behind. The boatman rows for the next rapids a few miles away. The experience is repeated during runs that last up to two weeks or mote. Then sunbaked passengers scatter for homes and the boatmen head for the next “‘put in’’ point and another load of customers. The ‘river rat” raft pilot is one of hundreds of commercial boatmen who are involved in a multimillion dollar business run on big rivers that thread thr scenic ons threo wena disen® They’re found mainly in Wyoming, Utah, Colorado and Prediction Is Disclosed New Mexico on runs down the Colorado, Green, Yampa and San Juan rivers; in Idaho on the Salmon River ; and in California on the Stanislaus, American or Tuolumne rivers. The big ride is down more than 200 miles of Colorado River water in the Grand Canyon. More than 15,000 persons ran the river last year. The boatmen have a. casual nianner that belies théir skill at negotiating the rivers and their ability to keep themselves and their riders in the boat and the river out of the boat. Besides being able to spot community building and used as such until the tornado of May 1973 blew it off its foundations. It has not been used since. Behind that school there was a long and checkered history of earlier schools, an academy with dreams of being a college during Civil War times, a sec- ond academy just before 1990, and the little public schools of the early part of this century. It began in 1849 when the citi- zens of that section prevailed on Brantley York, peripatetic Methodist local preacher and school teacher, to organize an academy there. The academy opened in 1850 as New Institute, with York as agent and the teaching in the hands of Baxter , anather local Methodist preacher. That school was so successful that plans were soon laid for a college, and a three-story brick building was constructed some half mile to the south of the building that is being sold. The name was changed from New institute to.Olin, for or_Stephen Alin 8 poked Metbodist elves tor of the early 1800s The dream for a college was not successful, but the school lasted on as some kind of an academy until 1885, when the brick building was torn down BOSTON (AP) — Joseph Ko- people whose testimony in the pechne, whose daughter Mary inquest into his senae s do weokiien is Soo Boar death was 9 ee al od c 8 nd SO ee “big Bertha” waves or rocks and sold brick by brick and oo = od rafts, the boatmen scantling. 5 pa..conke sat eyes In the — there was an at- ae wh ny to Abi.

The artist, who lived in Statesville and worked in a fur- niture plant, died of cancer in 1957 at the age of 60. He was a : Polish immigrant and lived alone in an apartment on East Broad Street from 1962 until his death. Mr. Olszewski turned out hundreds of pieces and his work was described by professionals as unusual since he used a stippled watercolor effect. The artist, during his lifetime, sold few of his paintings but was generous with them to his friends. At the time of his death, he was practically destitute but owned a number of fine paint- ings. In order to raise some |New York wno woud voucn wr him; but when he arrived in this country, George Olszewski dis- ugh May 31, 1957. The sale of paintings was very successful and many local people own these works. The museum retained several of the paintings at the request of the artist and, as a special event and to defray cost of the exhi- bition, a few of these paintings will be offered for sale. The memorial exhibit will have its formal opening Jan. 7 at 2 p.m. and will remain in the galleries during January. Chamber music will be pre- sented at the opening by States- ville’s Baroque Ensemble. Hos- tesses will be Mrs. E. K. Cog- gins, III, Mrs. Bart Herrscher and Mrs. R. E. Turnipseed. The exhibit is being arranged by the curator and his staff and should create considerable interest in Statesville and Iredell County. Anyone having paintings which may be loaned for the exhibit are asked to call or contact Frans van Bergen, 870 Henkel Road. “9 MOD sun ‘Blue Teuor#e1 s. eimai, mon a3emM ay} 4q 420m STY} paseo} “el SBM ‘ssafoldule Buloley WION woy sate yorq anp SJo “10m jo SeSSsIppe umouy SB] Pue soureu ay} Suaiz “‘sneur f ‘paze00}) @q Ajuo ue fay 7 eupoam)} GuoN ur eJ0qMas|a pue IT@p ' “ST UT UMog susy10m JO dnowg | ® Supreme yseo Aeprjoy [euon “PPE UI 000'Z$ 220 Suyyjyeurog | aryl, — SNLLIVM HSVD "84943 NOA gas 03 adoy *M ‘UMesnul aq) je aul0ofeamM 29 TT} Yom sued STU} Jo a8uez PIM 94) mara 0; W514 om asoyy WeBieg ues “4<W auoydare; TYxe a7 103 sSunuted HySMazs1_O Suypeo; 4q a381ad0-09 | HSI OWN a1doeg “azyTerzourou | 93 S¥aes uaZiag UBA JN ia SEU JO 3208 ayy s1 ‘ay; Seq ‘peed sem Bujaq : “sony [T} 30 dryspsey jo poured -“WI0D JaAau ay Te iI yYsNnoIyy] ‘sesuedxa [etmq pure yezidsoy *[BOIPIUI STY Ja9UI 0} Spunj astel 0} PIOS aq 0} pey sytOM sty pue LS6I Ul auIeD pua ay] ‘190UB9 Jo BulAp sem ty¥SMIZS[O 33.1004) ‘palsequinu aJaM alay SAPP SIy JOq ‘aun ysurese 9081 & Ul ‘SaUddS 198198 ‘sadeospuey ‘sajt] [[19S ‘Seseaugo jo Spaipuny jno peusn} Aj] es94I] 2H ‘pejured pue pejured oH ‘Bupured ‘Aqqoy sty 0} paul ey guy aseds sty Bulg | ‘SpuaeLl] SIy 10} JoUUIpP payooo ; -JJ@s [euoIses00 ue aad pue | poo} sty eseyo.ind ‘jue sty Aed | 04 qof spy uo YZnoUe Ue 0} afqe SBM aff.

I want to write now something about myself about life, love, death and i dont find the right words, So many thousands were used, that all I intend t@ say to you seems to be standarized, like + label on the soap.” That is all. But I get other let- ters: business. replies, tax remind- ers, Scars and Roebuck offerings, insurance securities (for life, acci- dents, livestock and fire). Every day I find something in my mail i box. At my mas there are many greeting cards manufactured in New York or Chi- cago, : But all this dull pattern is invent- ed by the producer whom L don’t know and will never see.

They are sometimes good, And the post: office, ‘the nicest institu- tion of the government, derives there from its profit too, and. I believe it is positive, If the draw- ings sometimes are made by cap- @ble artists, the literary work of the greeting cards look as fol- lows: “This plug is old but don’t you fret.” ‘“‘May your birthday be like an orchid.” “Birthday greeting to a very special friend.” “‘Who’s who Dad with just the chosen few.” “To cheer you just drop in a visit.” “A birthday wish for one I love.” “So, you have a new grandson.” ‘“What a shame to have you sick.” “A shower invitation.” “Congratulation on the new arrTi- val.” “Happy Easter to some migh- ty nice people.” “Hello, how are you to day.” ..+> and many other samples of wisdom for ill relatives and for people. stricken by death of parents.

George Olszewski was born in } Warsaw, ° Poland, February 15, $803, of a Polish father and an} ftalian mother. He arrived in Stat- esville in 1951 and became a nat-} wralized citizen of the United States on April 6, 1956. His life } encompassed pretty nearly the en- tire epectrum of human experi- ence, guccess and failure, happi- ness and sorrow, want and bounty. _ As a child in the early 1900s, he wandered happily through the Tatra mountains, little dreaming that the first Gorman raid over Warsaw would kill his brother and that a few years: later his wife would be struck down.wpon the streets of Warsaw and he himself would be taken'a German prison- er, later to be liberated by the Americans and naturalized by their } @overnment into full partnership | ia what has come to be known as the American way of life. His father held a managerial post in a Warsaw woodworking factory. This probably predisposed young Olszewski to the study of ' ‘architecture, which he began at Darmstadt, Germany, in 1911, but the threat of war sent him home §n 1913. In 1918 he joined the stu- Went legion in the war against Russia. Returning from the war in 1920, he decided to work toward a de- in philosophy and began teaching history and literature in high echool as a means to that as made a doc- the Germans invaded Po- and his wife fled to “the eountry and found sarictuary with family, who were 50 y bad but one pair of among them. . uently, Mrs. Olszewski to return to Warsaw and parents in that oc- A short time there- as shot down upon the in a display of nazi savage , 1942, Olszewski was y the Germans and ‘to Etzenricht, Bavaria, as a sweeper, painter, Gishwasher, waiter. After a while Tinwse 4% he eked out enough to return to New York and there met a re resentative of Rochlin Veneer Company, which then had a plant in Statesville. On recommenda- tion, of his friend he decided to come to Iredell. He worked as a tape machine operator at Rochlin until the plant burned in 193. Then he found employment with Statesville Man- ufacturiz.g Company, making parts for toys, and remained with them until his health failed a few weeks ago. Working with his hands by day, he worked with his brushes and pind at night. During the six years he lived here, he turned out a pro-| digious amount of art work, some | of which has been exhibited at the | Mint Museum in Charlotte, the Arts and Science Museum in Stat- esville, and elsewhere. He put on two one-man shows, during which many paintings were sold bocally. He looked confidently forward to the day when his art would not} only pay its way, but enable him to retire from manual labor and devote his full time to it- He wrote a weekly column for the Record & Landmark and had seadantot | this feature several years into the | future. | But destiny had not decreed that | George Olszewski experience too| much of happiness.

Obviously determined to make a display of resolution, he insisted that the U.S. would not make conces- under threat of Last week, apparently convinced that enough time had passed to eliminate any hint of duress, the President suddenly an- nounced that the U.S. was ready to negotiate a new treaty to replace the one under which Teddy: Roosevelt ac- quired the Canitl Zone in 1903. Along with the concession, however, came a_ second, less predictable, an- nouncement.- The U.S.,..Mr. Johnson said, had decided to “press forward, with preparations for a sea-level canal” linking the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. The Panama Canal, with its six locks, the President explained, would soon be obsolete. Already 300 of the world’s ships are too big to pass through it fully laden. Mr. Johnson suggested four possible routes for the new sea-level canal—two inv Panama, one in Colombia, and one that would run through Nicaragua and possibly part of Costa Rica. He asked Secretary of State Rusk to begin imme- diate talks with the governments of all four countries. Then, said the President, “we will be ready to go ahead with selected site surveys.” Those surveys will probably consume four years and actual construction of a totally new ca- nal would take another ten to fifteen —depending on whether conventional or nuclear blasting was used. + QYALY sions violence. Panama. ~ Second Thoughts: While prepara tions for the new canal go on, U.S. dip lomats will be busy renegotiating the old Canal Zone treaty with Panama. The ‘new treatv, Mr. Johnson promised, would) grant) Panama full sovereignty over the Zone and, unlike the old treaty which applied “in perpetuity,” would automatically terminate as soon as a new canal came into operation. Panama’s President Marco Robles, a nationalist like all Panamanian politi- cians, hailed Mr. Johnson’s treaty an- nouncement as “transcendental.” But some. of Robles countrymen quite so sure. For Panama depends on the canal for its economic lifeblood and a new treaty, however gratifying emo- tionally, would be cold comfort if a new anal captured all the traffic. Some observers, however, suggested that Mr. Johnson’s talk of possible canal routes through Colombia and Nicaragua was simply designed to strengthen the U.S. hand in future negotiations with were not = = Z. — that theory a > Tact that one of a me of the - posed Panamanian routes was that rth : peeeent canal itself—which, if Sadi 3 — : ‘ OnS i t, could be transformed into a el waterway in much ; than it would take to blast — a new canal. , Sea Level Canal Pla n Is Realistic /-¥ <a President Johnson's announcement of plans to renegotiate the 1903 Panama Canal Treaty was timed to take the wind out of anti-Panama government, anti-U.S. riots being planned in Pana- ma for early January, There’s now considerable feeling at the Pentagon and the State Department that it would be wise for the United States to make sizable Concessions in these negotiations. ¢, 4 By negotiating with three countries for possible routes for the new canal, the President’s men hope to get Several Latin countries Competing with each Other for a chance at the Waterway, The aim, of course, is to put the United States in a very favorable light—grant- ing the canal as a favor rather than Wresting it as a concession.

While these studies are by no means new—they have been go- ing on for more than 15 years—renewed interest has been shown in them since the recent flare-up in Panama, especially the five routes shown on the Newsmap. A score card line-up of the 30 routes would show that 1 goes through Mexico, 7 go through Nicaragua, 11 pass through Panama, 5 go through Panama and Colombia and 6 go through Colombia. Troubles with Panama aside, the present canal is growing obsolete. It is thoug!it tliat by the end of the century it will be totally inadequate. A sea level without locks is the ultimate goal.

A BIGGER DITCH — So we ate going to build a new, bigger Panama Canal? ; Chief fault we can find with that is that it has become the typical American approach to almost any problem. You solve it by creating a bigger one. ‘From that it follows that when you find yourself in trou- ble with the Big Ditch, you build a bigger ditch. Thus, you kill two birds with a couple of billion dollars. You make the old canal obsolete, so that it can be handed over to the Panamanians without too much backlash; and you sign a new “treaty” over which to argue for the new one. The principal worry about such a policy is what it por- tends for the future. It simply confirms to the shoestring na- tions what has been demon- trated over and over again in recent years—Uncle Sam will] give in on anything if you kick his shins and scream loud enough. In line with that approach, we predict that in the near future we will discover that, due to logistical advances, the Guantanamo Navy base is no longer needed and can grace- fully be surrendered to Castro or his heirs. And, in time, other bases out- side our continenta! borders will be abandoned as surplus in or- der to soothe some Sukarno or Mao; and the one-worlders and peace-at-any-pricers will fee] the milennium has arrived, What we don’t seem to realize is that we are putting all our eggs into one basket—a nuclear model that can never be deliy- ered—while rendering ourselves impotent to cope with the sort © of thing that is going on right now in Viet Nam and the Congo. In the long run, the hungry bellies will win as they always have. Nations grow epicurean only to fall barbarian. So what's wrong with a bigger ditch? DISADVANTAGED? —We see by the papers that the number of Negroes on the federal pay roll has increased sharply dur- ing the past year while the total of government workers declined. President Johnson himself re- leased the figures. They show that 299,430 of the 2,270,469 fed- eral employes are Negroes. Now let’s see. That is 13.2 per cent of the total. There are 20,- 000,000 Negroes in our total pop- | ulation, which is 190,000,000. That is 10.2 per cent. Who's disadvantaged here? ONE PARAGRAPH — This note from Sam Kaufman, direc- tor of public relations for CARE; Inc., tells its own story: “You could call this Operation Drop in the Bucket,” he begins. “This is the 10th year I have | ,asked you and your fellow ‘Columnists for a holiday season paragraph on the CARE food crusade. If you've ever printed the paragraph, your readers have responded with dollars. And somewhere in the world they have helped with a skir- mish against hunger. “But—isn’t this just a drop in the bucket? Are we any closer to total victory in the war on hunger? Yes, to the first ques- tion. No, to the second—not as long as it is possible to say that half the people of the world are underfed from the cradle to an early grave. “Still, considering that every dollar contributed to the CARE food crusade, New York, N.Y. lance d an wa and la for app before due to Thre a jured i miles Old Mo Saturda Treat | Lowran | ville wa | Myre, | Morelay | bit, 18, | man.
