PRIVATE THOUGHTS AND GENERAL PRINCIPLES 'the demise of THE STUBBY TRUCKER' May 10, 1976

With a laborious groan and slow graceful display of twisting metal the fully loaded straight job gave up its fight for balance and began a slow, almost enchanted descent to the gutter. Hit­ting the ground it set up a hideous howl as it scraped across the blacktop while gouging out large holes and stopping traffic . It slid and scarred its way toward a restaurant and a telephone pole. Fortunately the pole stepped out into the path of the 50 odd thousand lb. machine and brought things to a halt. The pole jerked convulsively as the machine fetched up at the wind­shield -- saving the face of the hood from any damage. The glass was blown into the cab where the driver had fallen to the passenger door to watch the tar whip by a couple of inches from his face .

There was a moment of s ilence while the pole shuddered back into stillness and then, the questions, the sirens, the accusations, the dripping fuel, the realization of what had been done and the conscience of the driver began to bombard the flattened and mangled cab.

I grabbed my CB which was hanging in front of my face by just an antenna wire ($40 a set) and c limbed up and out of the driver's window. Strong hands let me down to the ground and I began a self-inflicted phys ical. One cut , 'a small one on the palm of my right hand where I had carelessly caught a sliver of glass off something as I hauled myself out of the jumble be­hind me.

Boston ls a strange, wonderfuland frightening place. Much more frightening if one does have a grip on the lifestyle , gath­ered through careful observation; a must for the frequent visi­tor /survivor, as I was. As I sat in an ancient straight- backed chair in the seedy police station I suddenly realized that some­where in the shuffle I had lost my grip and was having trouble fending off the curious looks. I had never seen this piece of Boston and my head was pounding with "WHAT NOW •• • LOOK AT WHAT'S HAPPENED ••• WHAT NOW?

"Well as the truck went into the first part of the rotary I felt the load shlft • • • well I might of been going a little fast •.. the car came out of the Broadway end of the rotary and didn't slow or look ••• Stupid jerk, •• well I began to cut the wheel to the left but they just wouldn't seem to go ••. the load started to lelj.n to the right and . • • I felt like · I was trying to command the

: course of a toboggan. I even leaned hard to t he left--trying •• • for an endless second the truck stayed suspended on the right bloc of wheels and in a straight line. , • "

In slow motion, the truck that ls skidding on its s ide snugs up against the pole--the glass flies-- car doors begin to open-­people run to the helpless vehicle -- Most of the driver's body is flung against the dashboard and the gearshift .••

one got hurt .• • Don't give me that--I kn~w what happ~ned. !,'ve been a cop for 20 years. I saw the skid marks •. .• listen I -lleve in poetic justice.

Then the shouting begins. The oil begins to flow--slicking r-----~~-----------------­the ~reet. Latecomers slow and stop, hopelessly snarling traffic. Brakes and tires squeal as some forget and others have to compensate. Morning rush-hour has come to a halt. Cops wave and holler. The driver's head pops out of the cab; firemen turn the hoses onto the rig. The diesel from the sus­pended fuel tank drips through the fill hole and inside over the seats and the driver' s retreat, down to the tar through the obliterated passenger window. Highway crews arrive and be-. gin to sand the slick area.

are too-timely and all- too-real. The T ime of the Fourth Horseman, by Chelsea Quinn Yarbro : They died by the thousands from diseases that weren't sup­

posed to exist. Medical science has wiped out all the dcadl.v d iseases---. How could this child have diphtheria ?--and yet all the symptoms were there---.

High in the Andes Mountains of Peru an archaeologist stum-bles upon an ancient tomb, and unwittingly releases ~crms from a civilization doomed by a plague over 5, 000 years ago. What happens when this qcadly organism, for which there is no antidote, reappears?

Frank Slaughter here takes on one of the most important subjects -- the complex, high- stakes world of interglobal medi­cine , taking us behind the public deeds to the private people whose courage cru1 make the difference between today's flus and tomorrow's headlines.

And --- with the world watching via a commandeered TV network the kidnappers wire the towers of the bridge with ex­plosives as an earnest of their second threat to plunge the Golden Gate Bridge into the waters of San Francisco Day.

Another coincidence: Recently we have had several boxes of books given to us by a Middletown, Conn. school librarian -­among the books is one entitled "The Hostages" - - which is the story of a busload of children, kidnapped. It makes one won­der if the ideas for the California bus- kidnapping could have originally been written in some novel of a few years back.

The bill I proposed and the amendment now adopted by the ------------------------­Senate would provide tax incentives for making -such repairs to existing buildings so that familles will be encouraged to save energy. Besides promoting improved heating efficiency, these repairs could also help the homeowner to reduce his fuel bill -- a fact that is especially significant in states like Maine, where fuel is expensive and the winters are long.

The Pen fr /Jtghtier 'J111U1 1he S::.()rd

We welcome ail Open Letters and Letters te the Editor.

I believe that a well-coordinated program of tax credits for energy improvements can help millions of Americans add more insulation, improve home heating and cooling systems, and add storm doors and windows. The benefit to the country in terms of energy conservation and to taxpayers in terms of savings on their tax and fuel bills will be very significant. The opinions expressed in this coI'umn are not necessarily tho1:>........,.;

I am glad to see this legislation finally moving forward, and of the editors. I shall work diligently for its passage. We feel that a newspaper should express the views of the people, PAYMENTS FOR TOWNS however much we might agree or disagree with them.

The House recently passed legislation I supported to pro­vide funds to local governments whose tax base has been eroded by tax-free Federal property.

The legislation passed by the House will require the Fed- Town Crier eral government to make payments in lieu of taxes to local Milo; Maine

Mllo, Me. Aug. 10, 1976

jurisdictions in which the government controls significant amounts of property. In all, tax-exempt holdings account for more than one-third 6f all land in the United States. This in­cludes land controlled by the National Forest Service, the National Park Service, the Bureau of Land Management and various other Federal agencies.

In Maine, there are substantial Federal holdings, particu­larly in Oxford and Hancock Counties. The affected local jur­isdictions do receive compensation from the government for the tax-free property, but since the formula for allocation of this money has not been changed in decades, the Federal pay­ment no longer meets the cost of maintaining roads, fire pro­tection and law enforcement in many areas. This leaves an unfair tax burden on local property owners.

The bill passed by the House will increase the Federal al­location and will give local authorities a greater measure of flexibility in relieving their taxpayers of the financial burdens imposed by Federal lands.

Under the new formula, communities in Maine counties would receive the following additional funds: Oxford County, $25,625; Hancock County, $25,499 ; York County, $2, 775; Knox County, $2,347; Washington County, $165. These funds can significantly help our towns and our taxpayers.

REDUCED AID FARES FOR SENIOR CITIZENS Commercial airline travel is the most expensive means of

transportation there is. Yet it is also one o~ the m?st con­venient and the most direct form of transportation available.

Dear Sir: On June 21, a funeral was held at the Lary Funeral Home

for a 38 year old war vet. As the cars were lining up for the procession to the ce_me­

tery, our so called Chief of Police rode by and asked a mem­ber of the procession whose funeral, and he was told Maurice Hall, and he rode on.

As the procession got to the stop sign on Elm St. the funeral coach and the car with the widow went up Main St. Somewhere between the funeral parlor and that stop sign a big truck got into the funeral procession and stopped at the stop sign to let cars up Main st. , who also got in line. As they saw where they were they pulled to one side. By this time a large space was in the funeral procession of a long line of cars.

The next day the Chief of Police of Milo was asked where the police department was at the time when 5 minutes of their time would have been very much appreciated. One member of the procession said lt was my fault, no he was not on duty at that time.

There are more town cops in Milo than I saw between here and N. Y. ·and still they are never around when needed.

When asked where the town police were at the time, the Chief of Police said, I'm sorry I did not !mow, or the under­taker usually calls. (This ls not true.)

Thanks to the M. P. D. from the family and friends of Maurice Hall.

THE TOWN CRIER

Suing The Eavesdropper

Suspicious of his wife, Ralph set up a recording device to moni­tor her telephone calls. Sure enough, he collected enough in­criminating evidence to get a

. divorce.

But after the decree. his ex­wife struck back with a claim for damages.

"Under a recent federal law," she told the court, "a person may be he Id liable for the secret inter­ception of private conversations."

She was right about the federal , ,,...._ law. But the court decided it did

not apply to one spouse eaves­dropping on the other. Comparing Ralph's action to listening in on an extension telephone, the court said Congress never intended to intrude that far inside the family circle.

The case illustrates the "grey area" often found in legal issues involving eavesdmppers. The an­swer was somewhat clearer in an­other case when the eavesdrop­ping was done by an outsider.

This time, the landlord of an apartment building hid a tiny re­ceiving set in the living room of a woman tenant. This gadget, con­nected to a loud speaker in his office, enabled him to "tune in" on her social life.

But when the woman found out, she sued the landlord for damages and collected. The court called this an invasion of her right of privacy- "the right of an individual to be let alone."

In a more extreme case, an­other landlord placed a micro­phone near the bed of a young couple. When they too sued for damages, the landlord claimed they had no evidence that he had actually heard anything.

But the court held him liable anyhow. The court said:

"Jf the peeping Tom, the big ear and the electronic eaves­dropper have a place in the hierarchy of .social values, it ought not to be at the expense of a married couple minding their own business . in the seclusion of their bedroom."

JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES TO HOLD TWO-DAY CONVENTION Murray Mayo of Milo announces two special a,ctivities of

Jehovah's Witnesses from the Milo congregation for the month of August.

August 14 and 15 about 1200 Witnesses will be meeting at U/M for a two-day convention teaching them how to use the Bible more effectively.

Bent on practical use of the Bible, rather than vacant scholarship Jehovah's Witnesses want to know how the Scrip­tures can change a person's life, making him more honest, responsible, and sensitive to the needs of others.

The assembly in Fort Kent, with its theme "Become Doers of the Word" helps Maine Witnesses rrsist weakening of faith because of pressures, money problems, or anxiety over wide­spread illness. Their program recommends ten or fifteen

----~inutes of Bible reading daily, as well as sharing what they learn with their neighbors.

Featured as the main event of the weekend, a public lec­ture , "Are You Doing What God Requires of You?" will be delivered by Donald D. Cecil, current supervisor of the work of Jehovah's Witnesses from northern Maine to Pennsylvania.

Mayo says about 65 Witnesses from Milo congregation will travel to Fort Kent for this event.

During August also, Mayo details _Milo Witnesses will be distributing an edition of the Watchtower Society's A WAKE I

-...~g:{zine providing an update on the persecution of Jehovah's Witnesses in Malawi, Many county residents may be aware that Maine Congressmen have tendered queries to the State Department since atrocities in Malawi came to light.

Mayo emphasizes Jehovah's Witnesses are not looking for signatures or support, but are simply engaged in an infor­mational campaign.
