taining to hunting and fishing.

as before. The buck season opens
. Sept.- 28. . - i
He also warned hunters with doe
permits not , to hunt out . of the
unit, designated on the permit by
the Game Commission for the spe
cial hunt. The slate is divided into
about SO units, and a specified
number of doe deer is allowed to
be killed in each unit. Hunters

opposition to this, the charge
filed today said:
"...There are indications that
gun powder was being carried
aboard the National Airlines
DC6B being piloted by Mr. South
ard that crashed at Bovia,
N. C."
borne time ago, the insurance
company started civil action
against Frank's widow seeking a
judgement that it would not have
to pay the $500,000. The policy
contained a provision that if the
insured died by suicide, the com
pany's liability would be limited
to the amount of the premiums
paid, in this case 12,757.60.
Frank's widow, former blonde
model Janet Frank, who now is
Mrs. Joseph F. Rafferty of San
Francisco, has taken court ac
tion to collect the money.
Owntd A Gun Shop
The charge that Southard car
ried arms between New York and
Miami was made in papers filed
in Mrs. Rafferty s name in U. b.
district court by her lawyer, Mor
gan P. Ames, of Stamford, Conn.
Southard allegedly held a con
trolling interest in the Gunn Shop,
Inc., in Miami Shores, Fla.
Ames stated that Southard
"used to purchase the merchan
dise for the Gunn Shop when he
was in New York City on National
Airlines flights."
He was often in National Air
lines uniform when he made such
purchase s. . ." the lawyer
charged, adding that in 1059
Southard made purchases at
the Stoeger arms factory in Long
Island City on at least a dozen
occasions, and probably more."
According to Ames, bouthard
would stop at the gun factory on
his way to Idlcwild Airport by
taxi, make a purchase, place the
merchandise in his personal bag
gage and then put it on the plane
he was flying to Miami.
In Miami, the charge said,
Southard would take the arms
and ammunition to the Gunn
Shop, "where it was sold to the
general public, including Cubans
residing in the. Miami area who
required arms and ammunition
for certain purposes."

The incidents were the only

However, an undercurrent of

At two high schools in the Gia

rebelled and held anti-government
demonstrations.
There was some violence and
four policemen were injured at
one of the schools when the stu

High School Up
A breakdown of the present high
school enrollment of 455 shows 128
students in both the ninth and
tenth grades, 121 in the eleventh
grade and 78 in the twelfth grade.
High school enrollment increase
this year is around 50, according
to Lorraine Birenbaum, corre
spondent. In discussion of the forthcoming
public hearing on consolidation, it
was reported that PTA's of the
district had been organized in a
drive to urge school patrons to be
present at the hearing.
In other business, the board set
Monday, Sept. 23, as the date for
the bid opening for a new school
bus and also denied a request fro'm
school patron James Hesch for an
extension of the school bus run to
a mile and a half up Lee's Creek
Road to pick up the Hesch's three
children. Reason given for the re
fusal was that there was not ade
quate turn around space at the
end of this road, particularly dur
ing winter weather when parts of
the road become impassable. State
law requires adequate and safe
turnouts, Hesch was informed.
Report Given
A report was also given on the
driver education program by For
rest Loghry, instructor, who rec
ommended that the summer driv
er program be continued next year.
Loghry reported that 16 boys and
11 girls had signed up for this
summer's program and that all
had completed the course- and had
received certificates signed by the
governor. Thirty hours of class in
struction and six behind the wheel
constituted the course, Loghry said.
The board voted to continue with
the program and to offer two ses
sions also during the school year,
restricting these to after school and
Saturdays. Full class loads pro
hibited offering the classes during
school time as was done last year,
Mrs. Birenbaum reported.
