Smith, who who remained in jail today in lieu of $260,000 bond, faces a federal hearing on air piracy charges July 4.

Police charged that Sm'ith, 23, of Buffalo, went to the home of his ex-wife, Ethel, before dawn Wednesday and stabbed her and a man there, Dennis Keeys, 23. Then he took 13- month-old daughter, Jettian, and proceeded to the airport. After the air piracy charge was lodged against Smith, Buffalo police charged him with two counts of sault, one count of kidnaping and one burglary count in connection with events at his. ex- wife's apartment.

FBI agents said that after leaving the apartment, Smith, armed with a four-inch switchblade, made his way onto an empty American Airlines jet at the Buffalo airport and held authorities at bay for than two hours while asking for a pilot to take him "out of-the country." Smith gave up after coaxing by agents, his mother and a minister. Mexico; expected to Mexi half that number graduate.

They had a lot of business transacted." You know, we asked ourselves the same question. Of course, WE were the ONLY NOT asked to participate and if you will check your coupon books you will see that EVERY. business in the book was local EXCEPT the studio.

We wonder WHY? But, you see, good photography costs money, not only for the customer, but for the studio. Think about it a minute, even snapshots are expensive you have film, flashbulbs, film processing, prints, BUT the studio has much more expense than this, A studio doesn't produce snapshots, and call them portraits, we produce good portraits and we spend many' hours retouching negatives and prints and doing art work to make your pictures look as; good as we can. You the customer wouldn't allow us to deliver inferior why then do you continue to pay studio prices for snapshots? We ask, why are you reluctant to come into the studio and visit, to ask questions and to get our price lists? Honestly, we aren't MONSTERS and we do like to be of help, When I go to weddings and I see an amateur that seems to be at a loss as to what they are I have the time I give them help and suggestions. In fact I often pose the couple, so they cad get a better picture and you know what, it costs me extra sales. WHY do I do these because I am a person, just like you, and at times I too need help.

WE ASK THAT YOU THINK ABOUT THE FOLLOWING Culvert's Studio is home owned, we are open 0 days a week, 52 weeks per we are here, to serve your' needs, when you need us. When the Lions Club sells coupons for an outside studio, when our churches allow outside studios to sell them on the directory gimmick and when Jay's IGA, Westlakes, Wal-Mart and ALL the rest bring in outside KIDNAPPERS for their We specials WHO BENEFITS? That outside studio does and what do you get? I needn't tell you the answer you know. A few of my friends tell me that my approach to the problem Is wrong, that I shouldn't bombard the merchants and people responsible for taking my business and giving it to some, outsider. BUT, I don't see It that way yesterday I received a notice from the city of Mexico to renew my business license, I pay taxes to the city and county, I can't refuse local needy clubs and organizations, I give them my support CAN THESE OUTSIDE STUDIOS SAY THIS?
