the other day on another mystery trip to Peking. He never tells anyone the purpose of these visits but
he has lots of friends both

Attempts to reach the Island by boat have failed, Billings sald, because the river current is too swift and deep swamps on the river side make the Island almost inaccessible from the river.
The Island, near Wilson, Ark., can be reached by ear only when a sand spit is pushed together by a bulldozer. The Island's nightlife, especially on Saturday nights, is
getting more and more violent.
Jake Balton, of Osceola, Ark., pwner of a large farm on the Island, said the place was alive with armed men last Saturday night. One man was pistol whipped, he said. Earlier this month, another Islander was whipped with-a leather motor belt in front of his wife and children after he was involved in a brawl at the only beer and dance hall there.
The Island has some 60 children of elementary school age and a school, but no teacher, upparently because of the farming community's lawless reputation. It also has a vacant church but no preacher.-United Press,
