outbuildings and gutted the in

cently was able to return to
work.
All their furniture and other
possessions, donated to them by
friends in Gold Hill, were de
stroyed in the fire.

Census of School
Children Scheduled
The annual school census will
begin in about 10 days in Med

liott D. Becken, assistant super
intendent, said Saturday.
Enumerators will travel from
door to door within the district
obtaining data on youngsters
between the ages of 4 and 19.
Information obtained in the sur
vey will be used in determin
ing legislative funds to, be
awarded to the school district.
The district receives S80 per
census child each year.
Any youth between the ages
of 4 and 19. whose parents live
within the district, will be in
cluded in the census. This is
true recardless of whether or
not he is attending school, liv
ing elsewhere or is serving in
the armed forces, Becken stat
ed. Though it is not required that
youngsters under four years of
ase be listed, Becken said the
district is considering obtaining
their names and ages during
the survey. Information on
youngsters under four years old
would be used in anticipating
future needs in the school pro
gram, he said.
Results of the census will be
considered effective Oct. 25.

out of the rented home was the Oscar J. Haugen family, whose
Gold Hill residence was destroyed by fire less than a month ago.
Secretary
nine to three months. He also
abolished a S30 monthly pay for
feiture, saying the reduction in
rait would incur, a greater pay
loss than this.
Thomas said he believes the
"real punishment" will be the
"memory of those youngsters"
who drowned in a night march
into a tidal creek last April 8.
Worst Part
McKeon said the worst part
of the sentence' given him after
a long court martial trial last
July and August was that it
made it impossible for him to
continue his Marine Corps ca
reer. McKeon told newsmen who
contacted him after the Navy
secretary's action was announ
ced in Washington that he had
already been forewarned by his
attorney, Emile Zola Berman,
to make no statement.
When the reporters contact
ed Berman. in New York by
telephone he gave them per
mission to interview McKean
but by then the sergeant had
gone to the home of a Navy
chaplain, Comrir. Maurus Cook.
Cook, Roman Catholic chap
lain, of the Parris Island Mar
ine Corps base, refused to per
mit an interview because, he
said, Berman had not told him
of having rescinded his "no in
terview" request.
McKeon, since the court mar
tial verdict, has been living un
der a restriction which permit
ted him to continue living at his
home at Port Royai. S C.. near
the base, with his wife and three
small children.

cessful hunters returning from Lake county
last week was this foursome made up of R. D.
Johnson, Een Allison, and Frank Taylor of

Charges
Election Campaign
Swings Into Final
Month; VP's Busy
Stevenson Gives Talk
In Springfield, Mass
Washington (U.PJ Dwight
D. Eisenhower and Adlai E.
Stevennson traded sharp new
charges Saturday as the presi
dential election campaign roar
ed into its final month.
President Eisenhower, in a
statement issued from the White
House, accused his Democratic
rival of. jeopardizing national
security with "loose talk" about
ending the draft.
Stevenson in a speech at
Springfield, Mass., accused the
Republican chief executive of
providing "too little leadership"
to help "the little guy" in the
American economy.
The vice presidential candi
dates also were busy. Vice pres
ident Richard M. Nixon confer
red with Mr. Eisenhower at the
White House about a 14-state
campaign swing Nixon will be
gin next week.
Sen. Estes Kefauver, the Dem
ocratic vice presidential candi
date, spent Saturday campaign
ing ' throuah drought-stricken
Oklahoma. He then headed CUt'lP
to Washington "very much en
couraged" by his week - long
swing through six states of the
west and southwest.
Mr. Eisenhower said Steven
son's expressed hope that tha
draft can be ended soon showed
"either ignorance of our mili
tary needs or a willingness to
take a chance with our nation'l
security."
He -said a "constant" effort
is being made to cut military
manpower without "damaging
the nation's security."
In Springfield,- Stevenson .
hammered at Republicans as the
"party of bigness" and charged
that Americans are being led
by the GOP into a "new age of
industrial feudalism."
"The Republican managers
see America as a big, well-oiled
company, controlled by the men
who, because they run the big
corporations, ought to run the
country, too," the former Il
linois governor said. -
