4 10 Cleburne Anniston Moon Rock jHMA joins CBS Network O'Brien Appointed Talladega Woman UF Budget Chief Wants Investigation MITCHELL told authorities that after Nix's car wrecked the young Negro man climbed from it and was advised that he was under arrest for DWI. The trooper said Nix caught his tie and shirt, tearing it and pulling off buttons. He said Nix pulled the tie until he began to choke. Mitchell said he struck Nix with his revolver, knocking him back. Nix, the trooper said, came right back and continued to choke him.

THE BUDGET Committee will meet with representatives of all local community service agencies at Liles Library on March 30 to discuss tiie budget plan and the supporting justification needed to process requests for inancing in The Lawrence has also in-' dicated that non-profit agencies that meet the membership requirements and desire support in 1971 should contact the United Fund office during March to ascertain tiie proceedure for admittance into the 1970-71 United Appeal. In addition to the 19 members named above, the United Appeal president and chairman will be members of the Budget Committee. The Rev. A.

Stratton Lawrence, President of the Calhoun County United Fund, announced the appointment of lenwaet Committee today. the first step In the organization of the 1970-71 United Appeal which will "kick-off" in late September. Retired Lt. Col. James J.

O'Brien has accepted chairmanship of the Budget Committee again for the fourth straight year. Last year O'Brien divided his committee in three subcommittees of five members each. One subcommittee studied, visited and reported on the health, rehabilitation and research agencies. The second similarly considered the youth, character building and recreation agencies, and the third investigated the financial needs of the welfare, children, families and senior citizen agencies. The subcommittees divided into teams of two workers so that everyone on the general committee did not have to become completely familiar with all agencies.

This organizational concept will be continued in 1970-71. AN INNOVATION this year will be the appointment of three vice chairmen, one representing Anniston Army Depot, another from Ft. McClellan, and the third being the president of the Anniston Labor Council These men will function as coordinators and ntatives of the chairman with the three subcommittees. Appointments to fill the positions described are: Vice Chairmen: Charles D. Heard, deputy commander of An Chavers Murder Suspect Held hi Talladega TALLADEGA Talladega County Sheriff Luke Brewer said Monday that no date for a preliminary hearing has been set for Miss Kathleen Zarrajshak, 22, who was returned here Saturday from California to stand trial for murder.

Miss Zarrajshak, the object of a nationwide search until her arrest at Santa Paula, earlier this month, is charged with the Feb. 1 murder of Cecil Chavers, 49, of Wattsville, a St. Clair County community. She is being held in Talladega County Jail pending further legal action, according to Brewer.

"Some can make as high as $9,000 when they get overtime," he said. "But we negotiate a contract every three years and we don't have to beg Uncle Sam," said Tucker, who also serves as president of the Anniston Labor Council. Letter carriers start at $6,176 and can be raised to a maximum of $8,442 after 12 years service. SALARIES for carriers are higher than most civil service pay for the City of Anniston. Sergeants on the Anniston Police Department, for example, average $5,880.

Patrolmen average $5,576, according to Police Chief Cecil Montgomery. According to Layton and other carriers, extreme responsibility is the keynote of a postal workers job. "Responsibility that's the biggest thing in the postal service," said Layton. "For example, I've carried money and didn't even know it until someone opened lt in front of me. "No matter what happens, the mail on my route would be delivered," said Layton.

RESTRICTIONS on leaves for mail carriers are more stringent than those on other types of federal employes, he said. "I can't just call up and say I'm going to be off the carriers have to be there," he said. In order to become a letter carrier, the applicant must pass a civil service examination with a 70. Even making 70 doesn't guarantee that he will get the job. For only the top three scorers on the eligible list will be certified for each appointment as carrier.

IT SEEMED hard to me," Layton said of the exam. "When I walked out of that room, I didn't think I'd passed it All of the 38 regular carriers who serve the Anniston, Blue Mountain, Oxford and Ft. McClellan are family men. "Either their wives work or they work at two Layton said. "That's how they make it." He left a job as a bookkeeper five years ago to enter postal service.

He likes the work because he likes people and the outdoors. Besides the 38 regular carriers, this post office works eight rural carriers and eight substitute city carriers. He opposes the postal strike in other areas of the country. "I DON'T think this strike is just," said Layton. "It's a wildcat strike that goes against the leadership of the union.

There's a lot more to being a ma" an than riding around in a little blue and red scooter, Layton. according to He hits the time clock at 6:40 am. Then he starts to "case" the mail for his route. To the layman, that means finding which of 600 holes on a huge case each piece of mail goes into. This is to get it sepf rated for delivery.

The compartments in the case run in sequence of mail stops. "There is no way they could bring a soldier in there and he could get my mail in the case before the time I was supposed to be back from the route in the afternoon," Layton said. Surveying his case today packed full of circulars advertising the candidacy of Gov. Albert Brewer. A CARRIER has to be able to "case" a minimum of 18 letters a minute and a minimum of eight articles like leaflets that he.

has to fold. Otherwise he wouldn't get out on time, Layton said. "You've got to know where everything belongs," he said. "A man brought in here cold he'd have to look all over that case to find where to put each letter. Each carrier also keeps a book listing all changes of address on his route.

He has to keep its listings for two years so that mail can be forwarded efficiently. Layton's route starts with the Ambulance Service on West 14th and he winds up his day with a mail stop at 1701 Pine Ave. But his route isn't so bad, he says. "That fellow over there Route 23 he's got close to 1,000 stops," Layton said. SUPPER PLANNED DeSoto.

To Vole On Bonds HEFLIN Citizens In this Cleburne County seat will go to the polls May 26 to decide whether town officials Issue' general obligation bonds amounting to $222,000 for financing of a new water source and system for the community. City officials have been planning the new system since the federal government approved the Cahulga Creek Watershed project about a year ago. THE PROJECT will see a dam constructed across Cahulga Creek inside the Heflin city limits, providing a new source of water for city residents.

It will create a 100-acre lake with a depth of 25 feet and a daily inflow of two million gallons, Mayor John Gaither said earlier. Gaither said the loan would bear four per cent annual interest and would be amortized in 30 years with funds from the city's general fund. He added that the city's one-cent sales tax would be a prime source of revenue to help bear some of the work, which will include a new filter plant. THE MAYOR said no additional taxes would be required to finance the project expected to cost between $375,000 to $400,000 for the dam and lake and about 1400,000 for the filter plant. Heflin's water needs are now served by drilled wells and preliminary plans are to convert the system over to the lake upon completion of the facility.

The bond issue will be decided in a special election May 26 at City Hall. GOP Plans PrPfinrt fff i xccllli TUIC The Calhoun County Republican Committee has voted to hold precinct elec- uons May a to cnoose candidates for the county nominating convention. At the same time, according -to chairman Forrest French, 21 candidates will be chosen to represent Calhoun County at the state nominating convention in Birmingham later this summer. FRENCH SAID a definite number of county convention members has not yet been set, but that the committee "wants at least one for each voting machine about 50 or 56." A date has not been picked for the county nominating convention, French said, "but by law it has to be held before June 22." THE STATE GOP voted against holding primary elec- tions this year, choosing in- stpari thA prevention method for picking political candidates. Commenting on the November general election, French said, "We don't know about all our candidates yet, but I feel that after the Democratic primary and runoff, there'll be a lull in interest "That would be an ideal time for us to get bur candidates."

Mrs. Bertie Mae Nix told Dist. Atty. W. E.

Holl-ingsworth Jr. that she would call for the probe after he declined to issue a murder warrant for State Trooper Harvey Eugene Mitchell, 27, In connection with the death of Frank Eddie Nix of Alpine. According to an official report compiled on the incident by state investigators Sgt. Roy Riddle and Lt. H.

E. Sims, Nix was shot by Mitchell following a high speed automobile chase on Alabama 21 south of here and along a dirt road. Troopers said the victim resisted arrest on a driving while intoxicated charge. THE REQUEST for a warrant for the trooper's arrest was made by Mrs. Nix.

She termed the probe by state investigators "an unjust one." The investigators report read: "After interviewing wit-sesses, viewing the scene and conducting an intensive investigation, it is the opinion of the writers that Corp. Mitchell acted in self defense and committed no crime." Hollingsworth said he declined to issue a warrant in the case due to the evidence he had received, pointing out that he could find no probable cause that an unlawful homicide had occurred in the incident.
