...Negro farmer, after halting his car on a country road. Taliaferro Sheriff Milton Moore identified Sims and Myers as two of the whites, and the jury was shown weapons seized from their cars: six sawed-off shotguns, four .38-cal. revolvers, a .22-cal. rifle, a length of heavy chain, and several wooden clubs bearing carved swastikas or the letters...
Buzzing the Bee. The Union hardly seemed a bargain at any price. Yet the Copley newspaper chain paid $2,650,000 for it last May, and Copley is not known for spending its money foolishly. The chain's 15 other papers are all well-established dailies in such cities as Joliet, Springfield and Elgin, ILL., and San Diego, San Pedro and Burbank, Calif.

For all his personal frugality, Kresge...
...church the pastor of which uses tobacco." Kresge men and women, mindful of old S. S. dictums, still eat separately in company cafeterias, habitually snap off lights when leaving washrooms-although managers complain that switches are wearing out. Yet when President Cunningham in 1961 urged that the chain fight discounters by opening its own discount "K-Marts," at a cost of $80 million, S. S. gave his approval without blinking a blue eye. The success of those stores is one rea son why the company's profits last year rose from $17 million to $22 million despite prodigious start...
