Dear Editor:
Reference to the letter to the
editor appearing in The Perry
Daily Journal Aug. 13, as I dis-
agree with many of the points
taken by this gentleman, I
would like to take this means to
have my say.
Granted, this section of road
did cast $4,000 per block to
build. It is a main traveled thor- •
oughfare. with some heavy
truck traffic. Therefore, it has
to be thicker, asphalt wise, than
a normally traveled street. A
normally traveled street would
not cost as much per block as
the pilot project, and as we all
know, Fifteenth street does not
compare with Fir avenue. Try
to build Fir avenue today if this
gentleman thinks $4,000 per
block is expensive.
Reference to the statement
"if the plan is to pave only the
blocks that need it worse why
should a taxpayer pay for the
streets other than the one on
which he lives” with this atti-
tude there would be nothing
connecting our cities.
The basic plan is to pave all
streets someday, including this
gentleman’s street, wherever it
may be, providing this sales tax
is passed. Since Fifteenth street
is one of the most traveled in the
city, and its condition was get-
ting steadily worse, it was
picked as the pilot project for
the public’s acceptance.
The gentleman does not make
any reference to maintenance
costs of our streets, which will
greatly be reduced over a
period of time if we have more
streets overlayed.
Some of the older streets in
town were built by grading-up
existing soil and shooting oil
and placing rock on top of it.
This is nothing more than a seal
coat, with no stability whatso-
ever, except for the soil below,
and the oil and rock used is
expensive in itself, so therefore
we would cut our maintenance
costs by a great deal in the
period of six or seven years, and
the way it stands now, it will go
on forever, getting worse as the
price of oil and rock go up.
If this program had been
started 10 years ago, it would
have been much cheaper, and if
we wait another 10 years, it will
be many times more expensive,
and this is something the city
cannot afford.
Granted we cannot afford to
do many streets at one time, but
if we can do a few streets each
year, it will not take many
years to eliminate the problem.
Reference to the matter of
"replacing old water meters,
old water lines, old wiring to
eliminate low voltage, improv-
ing the water plant and other
things to improve the utilities,"
with the gentleman’s attitude
concerning streets, why should
we pay for anything other than
what is in front of our house. We
all know this just won’t work.
Also in reference to the
gentleman's statement on infla-
tion and recession. This is
something I have heard all my
life. Granted we need to spend
our money wisely, but are we to
stop progress out of the fear of
recession?
With this gentleman's atti-
tude, I am thankful that he was
not in charge of the space pro-
gram, or had any say in the in-
stitution of the Social Security
program, or any other worth-
while program that has been a
benefit to mankind as a whole,
because we all know all worth-
while programs cost money,
and the money has to come
from somewhere, and there are
many worthwhile programs,
and I as a taxpayer believe
these programs benefit man-
kind.
After reading this gentle-
man’s letter, I can readily see
that he is a taxpayer uninform-
ed on roadbuilding, and it is for
this reason I feel someone has to
speak up for this program. If
the citizens of Perry are happy
with their present streets, and
are willing to live with them in
Mr. and Mrs. Grisham
Travertine Island Setting
ForDouble-RingCeremony
At Travertine Island in Chick-
asaw National Park at Sulphur,

beck, the bride chose a white

pire lines. The bodice was cov-
ered with chantilly lace and her
A-line skirt was covered with
chiffon and a double row of
flower lace. The long chiffon
sleeves were attached to lace
cuffs Her chapel-length train of
satin was enhanced with chiffon
and matching lace. Her white
floor-length veil of illusion was
outlined with flower lace and
secured to a head band of satin
and Chanilly lace, sewn by a
friend of the family, Mrs. Tom
Dickerson, Kingston.
To complete her ensemble,
the bride carried a bouquet of
white carnations, purple mums,

breath, tied with yellow bows
and streamers. She carried out
the traditional something old,
new, borrowed and blue and a
sixpence in her shoe.

maids were Mary Ward, sister

They were gowned identical in
yellow floor-length gowns of
polyester organza lined with

with caplet sleeves and fabric
flower at the center of the back
waist to secure cascading ruf-
fles. Each wore a yellow hat
with yellow satin ribbon
streamers and carried six long-

streamers to match.

bride, who also served as
ushers.

bride, was ring bearer, and
LaShelle Dilbeck, Sulphur, sis-
ter of the bride, was flower girl.
Train carriers were Misty Shar-
ber, sister of the bride, and
Amanda Langford. The train
carriers were dressed in long
yellow gowns with white ripple
hats with yellow satin ribbon
streamers. The flower girl's
gown was a white floor-length
gown of satin, overlayed with
Chantilly lace. She wore a white
net veil with flower lace trim, a
look alike of the bride.
For her daughter’s wedding,
Mrs. Sharber chose a floor-
length gown of ivory with a
toast chiffon capelet. Mrs.
Smith, the groom’s mother, was
attired in a black and white
print floor-length gown. Mrs
Dilbeck, the bride’s step-moth-
er, was attired in a pink
floor-length gown with a chiffon
perma-pleat capelet. Each wore
a corsage of white carnations.
The bride presented each a long
stemmed yellow rose after the
ceremony.
Following the nuptial rites, a

and centered with the bride's
bouquet. The three layer wed-
ding cake featured a miniature

with a miniature chain fence,
flowers and white wedding bells
on the bottom layer and topped

REBUILT KIRBY’S
Reds Took
Sub, New
Book Says
By DANIEL F. GILMORE
WASHINGTON (UPI) - A
new book describing cloak-and-
dagger intrigues in the Middle
East says there are strong
indications the Soviet Union
was responsible for the mys-
terious 1968 disappearance of
an Israeli submarine wit.. 64
people aboard.
If so, it says, the Israelis got
revenge two years later when
eight of their U.S.-supplied
Phantom jets shot down five
Russian MiG-21s in a dogfight
over the Suez Canal.
The Israeli victory was due to
an intimate knowledge of the
MiG-21 gained through study
and flights in planes flown to
them by defecting pilots, the
book said.
The English-language edition
of "The Untold History of
Israel” by Jacques Derogy and
Hesi Carmel is permeated by
the intrigue behind the hits and
misses of intelligence agencies
in Middle East: the American
CIA, Soviet KGB, Israeli
Massad, Egyptian and French
intelligence, Britain's MI-6 and
others.
The biggest embarrassment
of the Israeli intelligence
network, the book says, was the
failure to predict the 1973
"Yom Kippur" war.
The book says Prime Minis-
ter Menachem Begin, then a
member of the Knesset, was
one of the few Israelis who
doubted intelligence reports
that maintained an attack was
only a "remote possibility."
"Arab logic is not the same
as ours. You can never know
why they will suddenly decide
to set off war,” Begin insisted
at the time.
But Gen. Eli Zeira, chief of
Israel’s military intelligence,
insisted war was “remote”
right up to the day of the
attack.
The CIA, which had thought
war possible 10 days earlier,
meanwhile had reversed its
opinion and asserted any
attempt to cross the Suez Canal
was "well beyond the Egyp-
tians' capacity,” the authors
said.
The authors connected the
disappearance of the 1,200-ton
Israeli submarine Dakar
(Swordfish), on Jan. 26, 1968, in
the Eastern Mediterranean, to
the then-secret Soviet base at
Marsa-Matrouh.
They also described the
Israeli revenge, which began
when two Israeli Skyhawk jet
fighters were attacked by
Soviet-piloted MiGs on July 25,
1970, and the Israelis set a
trap:
"Five days later, two
(French-made) Mirage jets
took off in the direction of the
canal, seemingly on a routine
reconnaissance mission. ...
Above the Gulf of Suez, they
suddenly banked in the direc-
tion of the exact spot where the
two Skyhawks had been inter-
cepted. ... Their pilots sighted
12 MiG-21s rushing headlong at
them. At that precise moment,
the trap ... closed. Eight
Phantom jet fighters suddenly
nosedived into the fray.”
Five MiGs were downed; all
Israeli planes returned to base.
A week later, Russian pilots
were withdrawn from the Canal
Zone.
