No sweet-voiced soprano this, but a young man in today's Army working a switchboard luce oneW Bell's own. Because of the increasing sdphistication of modern Army communications networks, men skilled in the installation, operation and maintenance of local and common battery switchboards are needed. Following the mandatory eight weeks of basic training, those enlisting for this course will spend another eight weeks at Jhe US Army Southeastern Signal School at Fort Gordon, Ga. Classes will include: introduction to communications; basic orientation for switchboard operators; the installation and operation of various switchboards and Manual Telephone Central Office Sets; and an end-of-course proficiency test and critique. While the young men manning the switchboards may not be as comely as their civilian counterparts, their job is every bit as vital and important to this country's security.
For further information on this and other fields open to young men and women in today's modern Army, see Sgt. Williams and Sanford at 206 West Columbia Street, Farmington, Missouri. He'll be glad to help you. (Continued from page 1) the 149th district, while Frank C. Ellis and Norman E.

While action on other than the Democrat ticket appears to be light for the primary voting, the campaign for the general election in November is expected to be "plenty warm" at all levels. The first amendment on the constitutional ballot proposes to allow the state treasurer to succeed himself and to be elected twice unless he has served more than two years of another's unexpired term. The highly controversial toll read measure is the second constitutional item. This proposal authorizes the State Highway Commission -to construct and operate toll roads; provides state revenue derived from highway users can be used to guarantee toll road bonds. The third measure on the constitutional ballot: provides for a Court of Appeals consisting of districts, in place of the present Courts of Appeal; alters the exclusive Jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of Missouri and goes on into the administration and retirement in the courts.

Today the right to excavate is limited by considerations of safety and fair play. Almost everywhere, the spite fence is forbidden. As one court put it: "No one ought to have the legal right to make a malicious use of his property for no benefit to himself, but merely to injure his fellow man." Of course, moderate annoyances even if unneighborly are still legal.
A home owner may still be reasonably noisy, even if the neighbors like it quiet He may still paint his house a color that the neighbors consider frightful. In one case, a man turned a deaf ear to a neighbor's complaint about his four large maple trees. It seems the trees kept the neighbor's house in almost constant shade. But after a court hearing, the judge ruled that the neighbor had no legal grounds for complaint. This was the kind of "wrong," said the judge, for which the law provides no remedy.

1 Love Thy Neighbor In half a dozen places, the Bible tells us to "love thy neighbor." But it may be difficult to apply this general rule to the specific people who live next door. To what extent does the law insist on a "good neighbor policy?" Under traditional legal rules, a home owner owed very little regard for his neighbor's sensibilities. He could do almost anything he pleased, so long as he did not actually intrude upon his neighbor's property. In one early case, a home owner dug such a deep excavation near the boundary line that his I neighbor's house had to be aban doned as unsafe. Yet, even though he had acted with malice aforethought, a court held him not liable for ruining the neighbor's house.
And in another case, a court refused to condemn an enormous "spite fence," carefully designed to shut out light and air from the people next door. The judge said "it would be intolerable to allow a man's neighbors to question his motives." But in recent years, as people ooo I I I h- I'. jJt mniiwmfti i whiWntflir AJS-- Construction (Continued from page 1) Since the appointment of Pogue to this position, it is no longer necessary for persons with construction plans to wait for approval from the Board of Aldermen. By making application through Pogue, the applicant will know right away if there are any ordinance violations-either in the construction plans or the zoning requirements-and thus avoid possible costly changes. It is highly possible that some of the construction that is carried out without a building permit could be ordered removed or altered so as not to be in violation of the city ordinances.
It is to avoid such problems as these that Pogue urges city residents to make application for such projects before getting them underway. Sergeant Glen W. Phillips Jr. (right) of Flat River, is decorated with the U. S.
