Taylor spotted the overturned
vehicle on his way to work
about 7:30 a.m. He reported it
immediately and returned to
the scene to meet investigating
officers. The officers’ investi-
gation failed to reveal any
clues as to how the mishap oc-
curred. Judge Taylor pro-
nounced Moffett dead at the
scene.
It is believed the accident
may have taken place about an
hour earlier.

Mr. Moffett, who was victim
of a fatal one-car accident on
Friday morning, September 1,
was born March 6, 1935, in San
Antonio, Texas, the son of Ar-
thur and Blanche Boles Mof-
fett. He was married August 31,
1957, in San Antonio, to Claudia
“Jeanie” Berry, who survives
him.
A graduate of The University
of Texas School of Pharmacy,
Mr. Moffett and his family
came to Fredericksburg in .1961
as a pharmacist at Prescription
Laboratory. He bought into the
Corporation about nine years
ago.
As genial, friendly, and dedi-
cated pharmacist, he made
many friends. His sense of
humor and wit was most ap-
parent when guest speaker for
many, many occasions and
celebrations. He was member
of the Fredericksburg Toast-
masters, and among those
menibers to help with the first
fund drive for the Hill Country
Memorial Hospital. He spoke
many times for the Billie Boos-
ters-sponsored banquets, with
one of his messages meriting
publishing in a Coaches Maga-
zine. He was MC for the Gilles-
pie County Fair many years;

Rhodesia, Don't Invite Burglars
Plans to include two guerrilla leaders in an all-parties
conference in Rhodesia make about as much sense as opening
the doors and inviting burglars into your house.
This is not the exaggeration it may at first appear to be. The
United States and Great Britain have invited Joshua Nkomo
and Robert Mugabe to participate in talks about the future of
the Salisbury government, but they responded they will do so
only on condition they are given control of Rhodesian security
forces during the transition period. That's the price asked by
the guerrillas after conferring about British Foreign Secretary
David Owen's proposal for a meeting in the next couple of
weeks.
It would be a tragic price to pay. Both Nkomo and Mugabe
have refused to abandon terrorist tactics during the interim
period. Instead, terror has been intensified with guerrilla
murders of missionaries, women and children. Attacks from
bases in Zambia and Mozambique are frustrating cease-fire
efforts and inhibiting a peaceful passing of the reins of
government from the white minority to the black majority.
Over the weekend, 28 more persons were slain in the suburbs
of Salisbury just a day after Prime Minister Ian D. Smith made
another plea for peace.
It's rather shocking even to think Rhodesia’s police powers
should be placed in the hands of the enemy.
Smith, often vilified as a racist, has changed his policies
in the past year, and has done everything the United States
and Great Britain have asked of him. He plans to resign after
an orderly transition calling for popular elections and creation
of the new State of Zimbabwe at the stroke of midnight, Dec.
31. It may be Rhodesia's last hope for a long time.
We cannot see how the U.S. and Britain can yield to
demands as insane as giving control of Rhodesia's security to
two men who have done the most to destroy that security. It
would give the government to the guerrillas, and bring a sad
death to the long struggle to establish a representative, black-
dominated regime.
The analogy of letting burglars into the house is not so far-
fetched after all.
—San Antonio “Light”
Un-Christian Act of Council
The World Council of Churches, which represents Christian
church groups in all parts of the world - except the Roman
Catholic Church - decided at its recent meeting in Geneva to
make a special grant of $85,000 to the two guerrilla leaders
who are conducting bloody raids against the people of
Rhodesia, in their effort to block the formation of an all-black
moderate government.
It is almost impossible to believe that a group of church-
men, gathered in the name of the Prince of Peace could be
persuaded to give any support whatsoever in any form at all, to
gangs of ruffians who have been raiding Rhodesia from outside
its borders, murdering its citizens, black and white alike, and
actively engaging in tactics designed to create a civil war
among a populace that is pledged to a moderate transition
from white rule to black rule.
While both guerrilla leaders are openly supported by the
Soviet Union and were advised by Cuban military leaders, it
should be noted that one of the guerrillas, Mugabe, is an
avowed Marxist who wishes to bring his own brand of black
communism to Rhodesia. Among other things, a true Marxist
embraces atheism and renounces all religion. So why should
church-goers wish to support him?
Church leaders, who always insist that there be a separa-
tion of church and state are, by this act of the World Council
of Churches, directly interfering in matters of state, and
clearly on the wrong side.
This is probably the first time in history that the Christian
church has actively supported killing, murder, rape and
pillage, blit if the church-goers around the globe are worried
at the drop in support of their churches and the fall-off in
attendance at services, they might well look to the empty-
headedness of their chief honchos in the world council. In
Geneva they acted like simpletons, and we certainly hope they
have not heard the last of this.
As of now, they have a lot of gall to describe themselves as
Christians. —San Antonio “Light”

was not his only source of
entertainment for others, for he
equally enchanted groups with
his great ability of yodeling.
Mr. Moffett was also member
of the Fredericksburg Lions
Club, had served as director of
the Fredericksburg Chamber of
Commerce, and member of the
Fredericksburg United Metho-
dist Church. Among his hobbies
was electro-plating, doing
chores at his new country
home. He enjoyed his boat and
fishing.
He and his wife had had a
wonderful time, the night be-
fore his sudden death when
they celebrated their 21st wed-
ding anniversary with his sister
in San Antonio, enjoying his
favorite dish — lobster.
Survivors are his widow,
Mrs. Jeanie Moffett; two
daughters and son, Cheryl De-
nise Moffett of Austin, Marilyn
Marie and Michael Lewis Mof-
fett, both of Fredericksburg;
sister, Connie, Mrs. Dan Barth
of Poteet, and half-brother,
Marlin “Pete” Puckett of
Floresville.
