Mustering For A

Confidence Vote

By HARRY KELLY

WASHINGTON (AP) - The administration is mustering its forces to counter an attack on President Johnsons Viet Nam war authority and to deliver a vote of confidence one supporter hopes will be a clear warning to Hanoi.

With Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey doing a little lobbying in the background, the Senate moved toward the climax of the debate. Sen. Wajme Morse, D-Ore., was set to give

his argument today the Congress should rescind its 1964 resolution that gave President Johnson a blank check to carry on what Morse calls an illegal war.

Morse promised that after giving senators the weekend to think over his case he will ask Monday that his proposal be attached as a rider to the bill authorizing an additional $4.8 billion in funds for the war.

The vote on his amendment, Morse contends, will be a vote

Eastern Nor^ Carolina Is witnessing the demise of the doldrums, and with that demise will come the establish-m^t, within die next 10 years, of a gigantic chemical complex.

That prediction was made last night by Henry Oetjen, President of the Norfolk Southern Railway, in an address at the second annual meeting of the Greenville CJhamber of Commerce and Merchants Association.

Virtually all authorities in North Carolina agree, Oetjen said, that the development of a gigantic industrial complex in eastern North Carolina is inevitable. Experts of the N. C. State Universitys Industrial Extension Service foresee almost certain development very soon of a huge chemicals complex.

Qi^tjen, a native of New York City now residing in Raleigh, was keynote spealier to the more

Oetjens theme as T h e Demise of the Doldrums, an Ai^ praisal of the Economic Condition of Eastern North Carolina. The magic word in this area is phosphate, Oetjen stated. For several years, businessmen and landowners in the blacklands of Beaufort Coun y have known that phosphate deposits lay under their fields and rivers. Since 1950, they have known that the deposits were as deep and rich as any in the country.

And for half a decade they have been hoping hat an economical way could be found to retrieve the rich ore that the sea, in curious benevolency, left tiiere centuries ago.

It looks like their hopes will be fulfilled.

Long-Range Study Of Education Needs Set

RALEIGH (AP) - The State Board of Higher Education expects to begin soon a long-range study of North Carolinas needs In the field of higher education.

Dr. Howard R. Boozer, director of the board, said Thursday the additional allocation of $85,-000 by the Council of State will allow the board to hire the additional personnel needed to make the study.

During the boards meeting, E. J. Whitmire of Franklin questioned the slowness in getting the study started. He said the board needs to get moving *to justify our existence.

Soviet Tightens Mongolia Links

MOSCOW (AP) - Mongolia ind the Soviet Union ratified their new treaty of alliance to day as unconfirmed reports reached Moscow that two or three Soviet army divisions have entered Mongolia.

The troops were reported sent recently because of Chinese Communist military concentrations near Mongolia, which lies between (^ina and Soviet Siberia.

FEEI.ING KINDA LOW

SEATTLE (AP) - Tome W. Studebaker climbed into his small foreign car last night to drive home, but he felt a little low. Somebody stole all four wtieels to his car.

The study was delayed by a lack of manpower at first.

In other action, the board heard a tentative plan for encouraging state employes to further their education.

State Personnel D i r ec to r Qyde Caldwell said the idea of a cooperative education system through which two persons might jointly hold one state job has been discussed. He said one person would be on the job while the other would be in school.

Caldwell said the state also is considering encouraging employe participation in extension courses. Schedules, he said, possibly might be rearranged so a worker could go to class in the afternoon and make up the work later.

New Chairman Of Center-Locaters

RALEIGH (AP) - Gov. Dan Moore today designated Dr. E. McG.. Hedgepeth of Chapel Hill chairman of a commission charged with establishing two alcoholic rehabilitation centers in North Carolina.

But through a spirit of unity, we can overcome our problems, accomplish our tasks, and bring a wonderful new era of prosperity to this region.

(Quoting Dr. Leo Jenkins, president of East Carolina College, who was also a special g u e s last night, Oetjen said: T h e sleeping giant that is eastern North Carolina has been awak-e n e d and awakened with vigor.

Association president J. B. Kittrell Jr. used progress as the key word in his report to the membership. Kittrell reported that in 1965, the first full year for the newly reorganized joint association, membership reached an all-time high of 347.

Early in the year, he noted, goals were set in 16 areas and most of them have been met. The association was successful in promoting Greenville as an ideal location for small conventions, supported East Carolina College, worked and planned to attract new industry, obtained new headquarters for tiie association and conducted several successful trade promotions.

An unprecidented growth of the Credit Bureau was experienced in 1965, Kittrell reported, with its staff doubled and financial condition vastly improved.

Work has begun toward seek ing location ^ OM three Alcoholic RehabUlietioQ Cen-tere approved by the 19d6 Gi-eral Aseembly in Pitt County.

Legislation sponsored by Walter B. Jones, newly-elected First District Congressman and Pitt-Greene County Senator in the lart General Assembly calls for acwtional taxation of alcoholic beverages to be used to establish three centers, one each in the western, piedmont and eastern sections of the state.

^nes, since his election, has resigned as chairman of a spe-ciai committee appointed by Governor Dan Moore for study of the locations of centers and no replacement has yet been named.

In t Ifttar written to Gov. Moort last week, the Pitt County Mental Health Association urfes that a new chairman be named and that 'favorable con-sidvation** be given a propos

al to locate one of the centers in Pitt County.

Mrs. M. P. Bailey, executive secretary of the association, said letters were written association president Edward N. Warren to each of the remaining four committee members requesting their support for a location here.

Mrs. Bailey said several other eastern North Carolina cities have been actively seeking location of the easts center. They include New Bern, Edenton and Wilson.

We are going to have to get as many people interested in this and pushing it as we possibly can, Mrs. Bailey stated.

The proposed location here has received the endorsement of tne Pitt County Board of Commissioners and the Pitt Medical Society.

Stating qualifications or reasons why the center should be located here, Warren told the conunittee members that the

geographical location of Pitt County adds credence to our request, as well as the fact that Pitt County ranks extremely^ high in North Carolina in known alcAolics, and Is possesses a medical complex without equal in eastern North Carolina.

The students marched silently through the campus to the house of Pesident WilUam C. Friday of the consolidated university to present Friday a resolution of protest.

Acting Chancellor J. Carlyle Sitterson told the chilled stu-d^ts they had acted as Carolina gentlemen in the true sense of the phrase.

Friday said he shared Sitter-sons pride in what you have done and how you have done it.

Friday accepted the resolution and said he would deliver it to a meeting of the university board of trustees Monday in Raleigh. The resolution, adopted at a 2%-hour indoor rally, condemned the proposed speaker policy as a form of prior restraint violating the First Amendment of the constitution. The policy was proposed by the

British Prime Minister Expected Call Elections

executive committee of the university trustees.

The committee recently rejected an invitation by a student group to a Communist i^kes-man, Herbert Aptheker, to speak on the university campus March 9.

At the rally, Jefferson B. Fordham, dean of the University of Pennsylvania Law School, urged that the amended Speaker Ban Law be repealed. He is a native of Greensboro and a former president of the UNC student body.

Fordham said if the law "can be directed against Communists, it can be directed against anybody. As I see it, there is no acceptable In-between. You either have freedom of discussion at Carolina or you do not.

The 1963 legislature enacted a law prohibiting Communists and Fifth Amendment pleaders in loyalty cases from speaking at state - supported colleges and universities. A special session of the legislature last fall amended the law to return to the trustees the authority to govern speakers.

Results 01 Klan HearingStudied For Next Step

WASHINGTON (AP) - The House Committee on Un-American Activities is starting to dissect months of sometimes conflicting testimony about the Klu Klux Klan in an effort to shape legislation to curb its actlri-ties.

The committee concluded five months of public hearings Thursday with 4,300 pages of testimony from 190 witnesses.

The record is not a pretty one, said Rep. Joe Pool, D-Tex., In summing up the yearlong investigation and the hearings.

It is, he added, "a record of floggings, beatings, killings, of plans to assassinate public fig-ures....for no other reason than the color of their skins or the fact they disapprove of the policies and activities of the Klan.

But, throughout the hearings, the Klan had some supporters. One was Ralph E. Pryor Jr., a former Wilmington, Del., detective and former Delaware grand dragon who defended the principles of the Klan, even though he said he was disillusioned.

I believe the Klan has done a lot of good, even today, he testified.

CHURCH EXCLUDED

RUSSELLVILLE, Ark. (AP) A regional Baptist association voted to "withdraw fellowship with Fhsl Baptist Church here because It admitted baptlzttd members from ottier denominations Without rebaptizing them.

The world's first cities were built about 5,500 years ago in Mesopotamia.

Other witnesses said only a certain element had given the Klan a bad name.

One witness, Daniel Wagner, 19, said, I pray to God the Klan is banned.

Testimony painted the Klan as a feuding collection of a half-dozen groups, its officials wrangling over dues money and In-ter-Klan membership stealing.

There were tales of night-riding violence, church bombings, whippings, threats, cross-burnings.

Violence in school integration and dvil rights Incidents liberally sprinkled testimony.

Once shrouded in secrecy, its members robed in white and masked, the Klan sprang Into being after the Civil War. It has withered and flourished at Intervals since.

President Johnson called for laws curbing the Klcm after violence creolted to it exploded in the South.

The overwhelming majority of the people of the ^uth, said Rep. Charles L. Weltner, D-Ga., Thursday, are against the Klan and everything it stands for.

Pool said the next step for the committee is drafting legislation. Weltner has already introduced a bill to require Klan registration under an expanded Mc-Carran Act.

Seven Klan leaders, including imperial wizard Robert M. Shelton of the United Klans of America, Inc., were cited for contempt of Congress by the House for failing to produce records.

commentators said today. | Members of Parliament withj access to the Labor government said they expected WUson to announce the date over the weekend or early next week.

His Labor partys 314 seats in the House of Commons give him a three-vote majority against tiie two opposition parties Conservatives (302 seats) and Liberals (9).

Wilsons government has proposed hard and controversial legislation that could face sudden defeat on a crucial vote. Such a defeat could force him to call a new election, whether or not he wanted one then.

Seeking a more comfortable majority, and noting his partys high rating in current opinion polls, Wilson may choose to call elections now before future troubles cut into his popularity, observers say.

They note that March 31 falls shortly before the annual budget is due to be presented to Parfia-ment The budget is expected to be harsh and may include higher taxes.

If Wilson chooses March 81 for elections, the opposition (Conservatives are expected to charge that he picked the date because the political effect of an unpopular budget once it is announced. But Wilson has already made repeated warnings that Britain's economy faces tough sledding in the months ahead.

Under the British system the prime minister has the right to call elections at any time and name tiie date.

Another likely issue in the elections would be British policy toward the rebellious white minority regime in Rhodesia. 'Tory leader Edward Heath introduced a motion in (Commons criticizing Wilsons policy of economic sanctions and demanding immediate talks with Rhodesian Prime Minister Ian Smith.

The (Conservatives argue that Thursdays coup in Ghana has underlined the instability of new African nations. The Tories say Britain would be wrong to continue its economic penalties against Rhodesia, which they consider a force for stability.

Wilson returned Thursday night from three days of talks

with Soviet leaders In Moscow and said he had made no progress with them on moves to end the Viet Nam war. But he told newsmen that the general So* viet readiness to resume talks on major world problems was a welcome step forward.

Welfare Director

W. T. Gartman Jr., director of the Pitt County Department of Public Welfare, presented the program at the meeting of the Dilettante Book Club held at the home of Mrs. Douglas Ray.

This program was the second in a series concerning legal aspects being studied by the members.

Gartman, who served as a child welfare caseworker and supervisor before becoming county welfare director in October, 1965, spoke on Juveniles and the Law.

After giving a true-false test, he diy cussed all the questions and answers and the technicalities often encountered when dealing with juveniles.

The juvenile court has jurisdiction over children under the age of 16 that are delinquent, said Gartman. It also has jurisdiction in cases of neglect and dependency, he continued, and these are the three circumstances under which it can function.

Mrs. Patterson Gives Round Fable Program

She noted that the recipes of tiie Elizabethan age were hand written by men and the family

recipes were carefully guarded and handed down Jrom graera-tion to generation.

As spices became known In European countries, the art of cooking changed, Mrs. Patterson said. The cookbook became more commo., devekping into heavy volumes sometimes three inches thick and weighing three pounds.

She pointed out lat American cuisine is a mixture of early English, French Dutch and German cookery and the simple dishes of the Early American settlers.

American cookbooks, she noted, are regional as well as national and international.

At the conclusion of the program, Mrs. Davis served cookies and cheese prepared from old recipe.s and cranberry shrub, a punch of early American days.

Working To Cain Pitts Potential

The changing: attitude of the people of Pitt County has signified, more than any other single thing, the strides of progress that have taken place in the county during the past year.

In compiling information for this Progress and Business Review Edition, it has been evident throughout the county that PitPs citizens are pleased with the progress that is being made. They are confident that the economy of the county is on the threshhold of even more significant expansion.

Business in Pitt County during 1965 set new records on every hand. Retail sales topped previous figures with appreciable gains. Employment was up as more manufacturing and service jobs opened to the people of the area. There were new industries announced and expanded operations by established industries in the county.

Pointed Up By Durham County

By WILLIAM A. SHIRES STRATEGIC There was almost instant evidence this week the strategic Importance of misplaced Durham County in the new Fifth scheme of things.

One candidite for the Fifth District scst in Congress began shaking hands and wooing support at the mill gates In Durham within hours after officially entering the race. Another hopeful, stUl assessing his chances, was in Durham the same day on a personal get acquainted mission.

Interesting thing is that both the candidate and the potential candidate are from ^^ton-Salem and the districts most populous county, Forsyth.

mixiAif

8HIRE8

EYES But both had their eyes on Durham, a county which many contend should not have been place in the the Fifth district last month and where many voters are disgruntled and unhappy about it.

It is almost certain that efforts will be renewed just a year from now to take Durham out of the Fifth.

In the meantime, however, a federal court decision to let the state's recent Congressional redistricting stand for at least a year foretells a strong political tug-of-war in the six county dismct this Spring. Observers feel t b at possibly the states most tote r e sting congressional contest of 1966 is shaping up in the Fifth.

At stake is the seat of retiring Rep. Ralph J. Scott of Danbury and the winner will ;ain advantage no matter w the district may be reshaped in 1967.

WORKING - After making his formal announcement to Winton-Salem, young Smith W. Bagley chose to begin his actual candidate-to-voter campaign in Dmham.

He was at the mill gate before dawn the next day talking to textile worker at the change of shifts and referring to common intereth between Durham and his own city, Winston-Salem, and between all of the counties in the district.

The hopeful who was gettiag acquainteduDw mah as n I r acquainted to Durham was State Sen. William Z. Wood of Forsyth who said he had a very friendly reception in Durham, Wood has promised a decision on making the race within a week or 10 days.

Harold W. Thomerson, Scotts admtoiatrative aide, also has announced, and Dur ham may offer its own candidate, Sate Rep. Nick Gilia-finakls, who If he chooeet to run might follow a pattom by beginning hla campaign in Winston-Salem.

MAP Campaignert to the Fifth District travel through parts of two other Congressional districts, the Sixth and Fourth, on the most direct route between the two population centers, Durham and Winston-Salem.

As laid out in the re c e n t redistricting, the Fifth stretches 100 miles from the Neuse river in the east to the Virginia line in Stokes County. Durham formerly was in the Sixth which was a compact four-county district. Redistricting left only two of the four, Guilford and Alamance, to the Sixth and shifted Durham to the Fifth and Orange to the Fourth.

An alternate legislative proposal would have put Durham in a crescent shaped Second District with six Eastern North Carolina counties.

COMPACT Had this been done, it probably would have been less satisfactory than the plan which was enacted.

Both meet approximately the one man-one vote popularon requirement, but the special three-judge federal court has added a new, additional requirement, compact-neii, in ordering that congret-lionel redistricting be done-over in 1967.

It is clear that more cart must be slven to setting up compact &tricts in future plans. And this may causa more headaches than correct-ing population variances between the three districts cited as being out of line on thli count, toe First, Third and Seventh.

with a record number of students, and more significantly achieved larger status in higher education in North Carolina than it ever had before.

Home construction and commercial building in Greenville and some other areas of the county set a dizzy pace during 1965 and continues into this new year. The commercial construction in time will take on added importance as people re employed in the new buildings. And both the commercial buildings and dwellings will in time be reflected in higher tax valuations by the county and its municipalities. :

This was only one of the several areas in which there appeared during the past year record capital investment in Pitt County both by local citizens and by interests outside the county seeking opportunities for future profits.

If there was a soft spot In the countys economy during 1965 it was in agriculture as changes in tobacco controls were reflected in lower gross income from this traditional money crop. But even here, there appeared to be long-term gains toward putting Pitts agriculture on a sounder footing, not only BO far as tobacco is concerned, but from the standpoint of producing other commodities to supplement farm income.

Though the countys economic situation may not have reached the proverbial boom-town proportions, one could sense throughout the county a general feeling of unprecedented optimism. At practically every hand there seemed to be the certainty that 1966 and the years ahead would see the fruits of an economic awakening that has been coming about in Pitt in recent years.

From some point in the future the year 1965 may be looked back upon as the year in which Pitt County had finally recognized its own potential and had set about with a will to develop it fully.

The Dollar As Good As Golc.

By JOSEPH R. COYNE WASHINGTON (AP) -The dollar is as good as gold, the government assures us. And Spain, Belgium, Austria and especially France are in a good position to prove It.

TTiey traded more dollars for U. S. gold last year than all other nations more than 11.24 billion worth. Ihis and other gold sales reduced U. S. stocks to about $13.8 bill 1 o n at toe start of the year, a net reduction of $1.66 billion during 1965.

But despite this further drain on U. S. gold stocks stood at $24.6 billion in 1949

government officials are optimistic that the reduction in gold reserves can be halted.

And the key to the question is the U. S. balance of payments.

Bring the balance of payments deficit into equilibrium

$290 billion either side of zero and the drain on gold will eventually stop, ii the reasoning.

Secretary of the Treasury Henry H. Fowler said most of the gold sales last year came during the first six months and a steady decline thereafter suggests a healthy state of foreign confidence in the dollar.

And Secretary of Commerce John T. Connor said the determination of Americans to end balance of payments deficit the difference between U. S. spending abroad and foreign spending in this country has renewed confidence in the dollar.

It Is the dollar that is \7 _

good as gold - yesterday, to- q.(j Y 6QFS

This Is how toe United States saw a $1.66 billion reduction in its gold stock last

year:

$259 million went to the International Monetary Fund but this also Increased U.S. drawing rights on the fund.

$118 million was sold to domestic industrial users for such things as jewelry and fillings for teeth.

The rest was purchased by foreign countries with dollars but Fowler said $1.1 billion of this came during the first six months of the year and only $177 million between July and December.

France, In line with a policy announced one year ago, cashed in the most dollars for gold $880 million. Following were Spain at $180 million, Austria at $101 million and Belgium at $83 million.

The Spain, Austria and Belgium figures were for nine months only but a Treasury spokesman said today the fourth quarter sales to those countries were negligible.

The gold drain began after World War II when U. S. dollars were sent overseas to help the recovery of war-torn countries.

Since the United States guarantees conversion of official dollar holdings for gold, every dollar which goes abroad represents a potential drain on gold stocks.

By JOHN G. DUNCAN February 25, 1926 Belvobr School Observes. Arbor Day Program

Belvoir School was the scene of much Interest and much enthusiasm yesterday when the classes observed Arbor Day programs proceeded by a delightful luncheon for the guests present for the occasion.

Among the guests were representatives of the Pitt County Board of Education, Greenville School Board, -Co u n ty Commissioners, and a number of Interested citizens.

(Christian Science Monitor)

The need for reform in all phases of animal experimentation is at last making its impact on the American conscience. A recent series of pictures in Life magazine, Concentration Camps for Dogs, powerfully dramatized this need. Shown are dogs, cats, pigeons, skunks, and raccoons, crowded into filthy crates too small to permit standing; heavily chained and emaciated dogs too weak to crawl to the stale bread and frozen entrails that comprise the only food in sight; sick and hopeless-eyed puppies chained to boxes, with only a frozen pan of water nearby; a dog frozen to death in its box. A humane society raid rescued 28 of the worst cases. Some 75 dogs remained.

This is a sample of what goes on in many such compounds all over the Un i t ed States. To cash in on the need of experimental laboratories for almost 2,000,000 dogs a year, dog dealers buy dogs and other small animals wherever they can. These, most of them strayed or stol

en pets, are eventually sold to laboratories, where they often fare no better than they did with the dealers.

Who are guilty? The thieves? The dealers? The laboratories that buy animals which are obviously lost or stolen pets? Wantonly cruel laboratory operators? Of course, guilty also are people who avail themselves of benefits from medical research but close their eyes to its abuses and demand no reform; indifferent or reluctant legislators and executives; individuals who are too sensitive to read shocking exposes but too busy to write their legislators; individuals who are able to back their convictions with money and fail to do so.

There are already pending In Congress a number of bills that would do much toward correcting these abuses, notably the Poage Bill, H. R. 12488, and the Clark-Cleveland combination, S. 1071 and H. R. 5647. Passage depends on the people. None knowing the grisly facts has the right to say Disgraceful! who does not also have the gumption to write to his legislators in Washington.

Some hostesses merely call in a caterer and phone up a dozen close friends they wish to entertain. The caterers man sedately serves the drinks and passes the food.

The guests sedately sip and nibble and discuss the weather and modern art and the latest book none of them have really read. By a quarter to eight at the latest they have left, yawning. On the way home they make derogatory rem arks about the host and hostess, and put them both down as prize dullards.

This is exactly the wrong way to throw a cocktail party. People dont go to such affairs to be bored. They do to chuck off their inhibitions and have a good time. The more like an orgy you can make It the better theyll like it.

In planning a successful party the first step is to take out a big insurance policy. It should cover medical expenses of injured guests, punitive suits by annoyed neighbors, and damage to furniture.

Now it is time to make out the guest list. No matter how small your home or apartment, invite no fewer than 50. Sixty or 70 is even better. Make the party look as much like a crowde(i football game (Continued On Page 5)

By JOHN CHAMBERLAIN Copyright, 1966, King Features Syndicate, Inc. Politically speaking, the conservatives havent won many victories lately. The Great Society, which tends to make moat of our Important phases of welfarism compulsory and to put them under centralized State control, has rolled over the country. 'The National Association of Manufacturers has made Richard Comuelle, a leading proponent of voluntary group action, the bead of Its program division, but you may be sure that If Mr. Comuelle turns up anything interesting to the way of voluntary welfare ac-ti(m the government will move into the field and take it over We are off on a sustained government kick, and conservatives cant do much to slow down tills trend to statism.

But If the conservatives havent had their way about welfarism, they are nevertheless winning one of their crusades. They are managing more and more to make tneir point of view prevail to the field of education. Specifically, they have been routing the so-called progressives (who, incidentally, are not progressive here at all) to the various branches of language instruction.

Not so long ago the U. S. Office of Education started twenty-seven projects In first-grade reading instruction. The results of the projects have not been officially compiled, but those who have seen the comparisons of the relat i v e effectiveness of the look-say and phonics approaches to reading at the first grade level say that four out of six of the projects indicated clearly superior results for the phonics systems and two indicated no significant difference. Whether the Office of Education is totally convinced by this is a question, but it Is nonetheless revealing that a report from California says the federal government has threatened to withhold funds from the San Diego school system until It does something about adding drill in phonics to the sloppy whole word sight recognition of the look-eay method.

The conservatives are also making headway In their efforts to lipprove the content of grade-school reading. Tlie Council for Basic Education in Washington, D. C., tells us that major publishers are beginning to make fun of the Dh, oh. See Dick run type of reader. Many of the teachers manual have done away with the practice of arbitrarily limiting students vocabularies.

The Modem Language Association has started a movement to replace the Dick and Jane readers with good literature. Grimms Fairy Tales, which have been frowned upon in recent years because some of them are bloodthirsty, have been restored to some schools, possibly on the theory that ttiey are far less offensive in their violence to what the kids see daily on their home television screens. The Brothers Grimm at least contributed style to their horror stories. The simpler poems of Robert Frost are now being read in the early grades, and Sinclair Lewis and Ernest Hemingway are standard fare In high school courses.

Government proposals for safety requirements for 1968-model autos will be published in the Federal Register in a week thereby setting off a nationwide controversy.

The proposed requirements will be only for the approximately 10,000 cars a year bought by General Services Administration. But auto makers will likely meet them on all cars. 'They will be tooled up for the change; the changes will serve to Increase profits.

Many of the governments requirements for 1967-model cars are already on the 1966 models and prices have gone up an average of $60 to cover them.

The GSA has been discussing the new safety devices with the industry and safety experts. After publication^ of the proposals, interested persons and corporations will have 30 days in which to corn-met and then, after final

changes, the specifications will be adopted.

TWO POINTS OF ATTACK There will be heated controversy over each proposal, and then over the specifications. For example, it will be argued ttiat a defogging device for rear windows is not necessary; and if required, it will be argued that the proposed measure of effectiveness, clearing 75 per cent of the window In 10 minutes, is not ideal.

riME*

R0E8JNER

,If all the proposals are adopted, they will add several hundred dollars to the price of 1968 models.

The include: anchora g e s for shoulder harnesses for

rear seats (such anchorages on front seats are required for 1967); padding over front corner posts and under dash; a dual braking system with master cylinder controls at opposite comers of the car; recessed das hboard inst r u-ments; stronger door latches and hinges to withstand crashes better; catches to prevent front seats from sliding forward in a crash; marking both sides of cars and fronts and backs with mirrors or reflectors; crash-resisting fuel tanks; gas filler pipe that wont let fuel spill out; greater glare reduction to windshields; rear-vlew mirrors and ashtrays that will break away in crashes, and roll bars over open cars.

TWO POINTS MISSED The specs skip two often suggested: governors that would limit speeds and cowled windshields that slant inward from the top. The Idea of governors has fallen into disfavor since turnpikes have been raising limits of speed. The

cowled, slanted w.indshield, which minimizes glare, would probably never be accepted by the public, many of whom would rather die in a collision than give up the co-called streamline style.

The other safety features would undoubtedly reduce toe death toll on the highways, now running close to 50,000 a year.

However, the decrease would be proportiona t e 1 y small. As almost any morgue attendant will tell you, the big causes of auto accidents are drinking drivers (estnat-ed to cause 60 per cent of all crashes), drivers who fall asleep, drivers who suffer heart attacks, youngsters and a few oldsters who want to show off, Junkies, people with conscious or unconscious suicidal tendencies, speeders, and people who dont replace tires in time.

And some accidents, Dr< Joyce Brothers says, follow quarrels between husbands and wivMk

By MARGARET WILSON Associated Press Writer

New research shows a high rate of heart disease in areas with soft drinking water, but North Carolina and South Carolina doctors generally are not ready to accept a cause and effect relationship.

Many physicians flatly reject the new findings of Dr. Henry A. Schroeder of the Dartmoutii Medical School, who links the rate of heart disease to the degree of softness of drinking water.

There is no relationship between heart disease and the softness or hardness of water, said Dr. Hugh DeBose of Columbia, S.C., matter-of-factly.

A survey by ttie Associated Press, Uu*ough its member newspapers in North Carolina and South Carolina, showed;

.(1) Most cities have soft drink

ing water; and (2) most doctors discount reports of any dangerous relationship between heart disease and drinking water.

Yet, physicians do know that chemicals added to soften municipal water supplies sometimes leave an excess of sodium that may adversely affect patients with heart trouble.

Dr. Henry McIntosh, director of the Cardiovascular Laboratory at Duke University Medical Center, emphasized that the sodium content of water has not been a problem of sufficient magnitude for him to recommend changes in drinking water habits for heart patients.

In the past, Dr. McIntosh explained, excessive sodium content of the water was more important in ttie management of patients with hypertension and

tongestive heart failure than it

is now.

During recent years great progress has been made ^n the development of mediums which aid in the excretion of sodium from such patients.

th*. Schroeders research concluded that death rates from hypertensive and arteriosclerotic heart disease were highest in areas where municipal water supplies were low In degree of hswdness and. high in tra(xs of copper.

The degree of hardness of water, he explained, may be a factor in the cause of kidney stones which infectiMi in turn is a most common cause of high blood pressure and in turn a rapid accelerator of hardening of the arteries.

This is a killer whether in the heart or the brain, causing a stroke.

Dr. Smith said research linking softness of water to heart attacks has been largely impressionistic rather than evidential.

Drinking water in most North Carolina and South Carolina cities is considered rather soft.

Durham, in fact, adds calcium to make its water harder.

If this were not done the water would be so corrosive that it would create problems by seriously attacking water pipes and water heaters, explained Wade Brown, director of water resources in Durham.

From -Wealth To Welfare; For Him, It Was Too Easy

CHAPEL HILL - A Pitt County radio broadcaster is serving on the Bench - Bar-Press - Broadcasters committee to establish an effective laison through which greater understanding can be reached on the mutual problems of court publicity.

UOHN J. MCCARTHY

By JAMES CALOOERO NASHUA, N.H. (AP)-Charies Kranefuss, 72, rocked in his chair in a nursing home and told how he went from wealth to welfare.

Kranefuss went on welfare after spending the last penny from the $150,000 he and his brother won on the Irish Sweepstakes in 1935.

He said: I was working in a gas station and living in Quincy, Mass., when my brother, Frank, and I split a $2.50 ticket on the Irish Sweeptsake.

When an American horse named Dan Bulger was matched to our ticket, a stran-

Venters will join a distinguished panel of judges, lawyers, newspaper editors and broad-

Then, if more than a third of them want to sit down at any one time, theyll have to sit in each others laps, which helps create a cozy, chummy atmosphere.

Whom to invite? It is wiser to invite people who dont know each other. That way in case they cant remember later what they said or did they will at least know they didnt insult a friend. And naturally they wont bother to apologize to someone who is a total stranger.

Now about food. Many hostesses like to prepare steamy casserole dishes. This is a mistake. Plates of it usually are found days later hidden under sofas or poured uneaten Into the laundry hamper.

Anyone who expects a good meal doesnt go to a cocktail party. He stays home. All that is necessary is to fix up is a tray of canapes. They can be made of anything handy-such as small bits of wallboard

covered with old cheese or library paste and chopped up eggs. The main thing is to leave the trays standing for a couple of hours in the rain to make them properly soggy.

As to the liquor, dont bother to learn your guests preference. Just buy an assortment of cheap bottles and put them on the kitchen drain-board along with some buckets of ice cubes. After two rounds most guests dont know what they are drinking or care what it tastes like.

The best time to launch a cocktail party is at 6 oclock Friday evening. After getting the canapes circulating, the smart host and hostess will tip-toe out of the place, leaving an off-duty fireman on guard to put out any small blazes started by carel ess smokers. It also might be helpful to scatter around a few first aid kits.

After spending two evenings in a hotel, you and your husband can probably return safely home. t

On the other hand. Tommy Morris, Hickory water and sewer director, says water in his city is considered to be below hardness, but it really couldnt be called soft.

John Hawkins, general manager of the Greenville, S.C., Water Works, said his citys water is extremely soft. He said it is about five parts per million total hardness.

Dr. Paul J. Philson, superintendent of the Columbia, S.C., Water Plant, said the South Carolina capital cityi water is considered soft.

It averages 30 parts of chemicals added per million gallons of water, Dr. Philson said. Water doesnt begin to get hard until it reaches 100 parts per million. ... We prefer a little hardness in our water because it tastes better.

North Carolina counted 22,000 deaths from heart related diseases last year while South Carolina had 11,222 persons die

Frustrations Lead To Excessive Indulgence

By GEORGE W. CRANE Ph. D., M. D.

CASE Y-447: Mildred G., aged 29, is a problem wife.

Dr. Crane, her worried husband began, my wife must be an exception to your rules about sex.

For you say women are anatomically and psychologically not geared to be as sexy as men are.

But Mildred is nothing but a tramp.

She consorts with anybody who will buy her a drink at the tavern.

I didnt know this whra I married her.

But it wasnt long thereaf^ ter till I found her committing" adultery in our own home.

I had come home a day early from a sales trip across the state.

And since then, I have caught her In many other illicit affairs.

So isnt she possessed an abnormal sexual hunger?

Nymphomania is defined as an abnormal and uncontrollable sex desire in a female.

By this standard, Mildred would appear to be a typical nymphomaniac, wouldnt she?

But her sexual desire is still far below that of her husband and other normal males.

For it isnt a pruritic sexual lust that prompts Mildred to have these frequent illicit sexual affairs.

Instead, she is frustrated in her feminine ego and thus indulges with every Tom, Dick or Harry, much as the frustrated fat women eat an excessive amount of food.

For fat people usually have no organic or stomdch need for their excess gravies, pie, cake and other rich foods.

No, their overeating is due to unhappiness, frustration or the habit of always sitting down for refreshments every time a neighbor drops in.

In like manner, a wife may

be goaded into excessive sexual affairs, yet not have a localized erotic hunger for such.

But, Dr. Crane, you may demand, what else would prod a wife into such sexual orgies if she were as frigid as you say the female really is?

And the answer is usuali-y psychic inferiority.

For example, when I had an interview with Mildred, she admitted that she had never enjoyed the sex act in its own right.

Aijd she didnt have any great fondness for the men of her illicit romances.

But, Dr. Crane, she wept, I get an all gone feeling at times and dread that I am not all there as a woman.

For I am sterile and can never have a baby of my own.

So when I see young women of my age with babies in their arms or pushing a perambulator, I feel so despondent and unwanted that I strike up an affair with any convenient male.

And I usually carry it on to the final conclusion, just to prove to myself that I still have what it takes to attract a man. Readers, over the years I have been consulted by hundreds of such nymphomaniacs but I have never yet found one who was organically or physiologically

Now Facing Tax Evasion Charge

CHICAGO (AP) - A complaint charging Dr. Stevan Duro vie, 60, developer of Kre-biozen, with evading nearly $200,000 in income taxes has been filed before U.S. Commissioner C. S. Bentley Pike.

The complaint, filed Thursday, alleged that Dr. Durovic earned $242,498 in 1960 but that he reported a loss of $115,237 and paid only $216 in income tax.

The complaint contended most of Durovics income for 1960 was from the sale of Krebiozen, a drug taken by some cancer sufferers, and that he attempted to evade $195,710 in income tax.

Durovic; his brother, Marko, 64, a lawyer; Dr. Andrew C. Ivy, 73, a physiologist; and Dr. William F. P. Phillips, 52, a physician, were acquitted last month by a U.S. District Court jury of mail fraud and conspiracy charges in selling and promoting Krebiozen.

Dr. Durovic and Marko are contesting assessements by the IRS for income taxes which they allegedly owe for 1954 through 1958. Stevan Durovic is accused of owing $267,225 in taxes for those years and $142,867 in penalties. Marko is accused of owing $264,346 in taxes and $141,313 in penalties.

Bucs Lose In Final Three Seconds; Davidson, West Va., William & Mary WinFRIDAY AFTERNOON, FEBRUARY 25, \966

By WOODY PEELE Reflector Sports Editor

CHARLOTTE-East Carolina uffered a heart-breaking 76-74 defeat in the last three seconds yesterday afternoon as Richmond advanced into the semifinals of the Southern Conference tournament.

Also gaining the semi-finals were Davidson, the touniament favorite, along with West Virginia and William and Mary.

Davidson handily defeated eighth-ranked Citadel, 79-61, while West Virginia downed VMI, 95-80, and William and Mary beat Furman, 78-73.

East Carolina, down by 10 points in the first half of the fame, rallied and went into a five-point lead, late in the second half, but a charging foul aghinst Jimmy Cox gave them the ball and the momentum, and they were able to come back and tie it up with 3:22 left.

From there the Spiders gained a 74-72 lead but the Bucs managed to tie it up at 2:06 with a pair of three throws by Jerry Woodside.

Then after tibe Spiders had missed a shot, Woodside was called for a double-dribble with 1:40 left and Richmond gambled on one shot for the game. And it worked perfectly.

Johnny Moates passed underneath to Tom Green, whose shot rolled around and in to send the Bucs back to Greenville, after their first appearance in the tournament.

Richmond broke into the opening but the Bucs came back to tie it up at 6-6 on Jerry Wood-sdies shot, then took ie lead at 8-6 on a bucket by Charlie Alford.

But Spike Welsh and Johnny Jdoates, Richmonds hot shoot-teg guards, quickly sparked Richmond back into the lead at 10-8, and from there the Spiders began to pull away, building up

with 13:05 left.

For much of the rest of the half, the margin remained around eight or nine points, and then the Bucs began to rally.

In the closing minutes of the half, the Bucs, paced by Bobby Kinnard, pulled back and finally tied it up at 41-41 with four seconds left on a bucket by Cox.

Then as Richmond tried to get the ball down court, Moates was fouled and hit both to give Richmond a 43-41 lead at the half.

In the opening minutes of the half, Richmond pushed out by seven points, but the Bucs, playing iheir finest game of the season, refused to give in, and fought back, finally tieing it at 56-56, 58-58 and that at 60-60, and then Kinnard hit a foul shot to give the Bucs a 61-60 lead.

Kinnard hit another bucket to give the Pirates a three-point bulge, and for the next few minutes the two teams swapped baskets, and the Bucs finally broke away, hitting at the line, to pull out by six points.

Then came the controversial call against Cox, and Grady Williamson pulled up injured seconds later and called time out to get some aid, and it proved to be the Bucs last time out, and greatly affected the outcome.

From there on out, Richmond began to rally and finally tied it up and then came the final minutes as Richmond stalled, waiting for the final shot which gave the win.

The Bucs, who played their hearts out, hit a fine 50.9 per cent from tt|^ floor, but Rkh-mond, with a phenominal 74 per cent in the first half, ended with a tournament record of 65.6 per cent from the floor, and that was one thing the Bucs could not do a thing about.

The Bucs, however, stayed in

foul shots, as they hit 20 of 22 in the game for a great 90.9 percentage.

Kinnard, who had his best game cf the season, poured in 24 points, while Jimmy Cox hit for 17 and Woodside and Alford each had 12.

Moates led Richmond with 26, while Welsh had 22 and Batta had 12.

In the second game Davidson jumped on a cold-shooting Citadel team and rolled to an easy victory to gain the semi-final.

Davidson ripped off to a 10-point lead in the first half, despite some cold shooting on their own part.

But with Dick Snyder hitting 13 points. The Citadel had little chance.

By the half, it was 29-19, and then in the second half, Davidson got a lot hotter, while The Citadel still could not find the basket.

With 8:12 left, Davidson had pushed their lead to 20, at 60 to 40, and then raised it to as much as 25 in the final minutes of the game, despite the fact that none of the starters were in the lineup.

For Davidson, Snyder had 24, while Bobby Lane hit 17 points. Herwig Baumann had 14 to lead ITie Citadel, while Danny Mohr had 12 and John Debrose had 10.

to a 10-point margin at 20-101 the game in the second haf on

West Virginia jumped off to big j-point lead* in the closing minutes of the first half and then held off a VMI rally led by Charlie Schmaus to take their 95-80 victory.

West Virginia led all the way, slowly building up their lead in the first period, until it reached 25 at 52-27.

But then VMI started to catch fire and cut it down to 52-33 by the end of the half.

In the second half, Schmaus continued to pour in the points

and brought the Keydets back to witliin six points with 5:36 to go at 79-73.

But then Schmaus fouled out, and that did it as far as the Keydets were concerned.

They continued to try to rally, but the sting had been removed and West Virginia pulled away for the final 15-point margin.

Schmaus ended up with 32 points, while John Kemper had 17 and Robin Porter had 11.

For West Virginia, Carl Head was high with 27, John Lesher had 16, Bill Ryczaj 14, Joyn Cavacini 12, and Ron Williams 12.

In the final game of the evening, William and Mary had to bustle to get a 78-72 victory over Furman. The two teams battled it out in the first half, with the lead changing seven times, and being tied 10 times.

Then in the closing minutes

William and Mary pulled away to a five point edge at 40-35.

In the second half, Steve Lawrence began to hit for Furman and pulled them back into the game.

But every time the Paladins had a chance to get ahead, they muffed it, and spent most of the second half trying to close the final two points that separated the two teams.

Only after Lawrence fouled out did William and Mary begin to gain control of the game, and get the margin which carried them to their win.

Lawrence poured in 29 points, whilfl Bane Surratt had 16 and Dan Golsby had 13.

For William and Mary, Tim Walter had 17, Walter Wen 14, Larry Paffrath and Ron Panne-

ton each 11, and Ben Pomeroy 10.

Tonight Davidson meets Richmond in the first game, with William and Mary tackling

West Virginia in the other semifinal contest.

Gives No Reason For His Decision

CHARLOTTE-Wendell Carr, basketball coach at East Carolina for the past three years, resigned yesterday in Charlotte. Carr, in a statement, said he had sent his resignation to East Carolina President Dr. Lee Jenkins prior to the Richmond game last Thursday.

Carr made his statement to a single member of the press after dozens of newsmen had quizzed him on the possibility of such a move, but he had refused to comment on it. He was unable to be reached when the statement was released later in the evening.

Athletic Director Garence Stasavich said he had no idea whether Carr had actually done this, saying that he had heard nothing of it.

He said that apparently Dr. Jenkins had chosen to hold the news until a more appropriate time before announcing it.

Despite the fact that Carr had been under pressure this season, and that rumors of his firing were running strong throughout the season, as have been prevalent for the past two seasons, Stasavich said it came as a surprise to him.

He said be had heard the rumors for too long to know what to believe. He did admit, however, that other coaches had been in contact with him, asking him whether the rumors were true or not, and putting in a bid for the job.

When asked whether anyone was possible in line for the position, he said that no consideration could have been made under the circumstances. How

can you go looking for a coach when you still have one?

Carr in his three seasons at ^t Carolina introduced a 32-40 record. He only had one winning season, in the 1964-65 season. The two losing seasons iveri the only ones in East Carolina cage history.

Tliis years team was picked for a much betto* year that it had, and this was the start of the rumors about the possibility of Carrs being ousted at the end of the end of the year.

Apparently these rumors spofw red Carr into making bis necl? sion to quit before the axe feO if it was to fall.

A graduate of Wake Forest College, Carr was a star player at Muncie, Indiana, BQ1 (Continued On Page 8)

N. Lenoir Whips Farmville Girls

LAGRANGE Farmvilles girls fell behind 9-5 at the end of the first period to powerful North I^noir and never could catch up, losing to them, 40-25.

The second period was about the same story as the undefeated sextet from Wheat Swamp demonstrated just too much poise and finese for the Lady Devils to cope with, leading at the half, 18-9.

North Lenoir really opened ap in the third quarter and

outscored the losers, 11-4, to take a 29-13 three-quarter mark lead.

Farmville managed to trim a point off the lead in the final period but they found themselves too far behind to catch up.

Barbara Powell bombed the nets for 20 points despite being double teamed during most of the game in pacing Griftons conference champion girls to a 37-23 victory over scrappy Win-terville in the first game of last nights Pitt Tourney action.

Miss Powell hit on a pair of free tosses to give Grifton the lead at 2-0 and they never lost it.

Linda Bowen, senior rover, then connected on a driving layup to give the Lady Bulldogs a 4-0 lead before the Lady Wolves could score.

Winterville cut it to 5-4, which was the closest they could get before Miss Powell came back with a pair of buckets to give Grifton a 9-4 lead with two minutes left in the first period.

Donna Reel then hit from the comer for a 11-4 lead and Phyllis McLawhom scored from underneath as the first period ended with Grifton leading 11-6.

The second period was pretty close with Grifton holding the upper hand 96, sending the Lady Bulldogs into the dressing room with a 20-12 lead.

The third period was again tip for tap but saw Grifton gaining a slim edge 8-6, leaving them with a 28-18 lead at the ihree-quarter mark.

With Miss Bowen getting five of their nine points, Grifton added four more points to their lead in the final period, giving them their 13th straight win against conference opponents.

In addition to Miss Powells total of 20, Miss Bowen added 11 and Miss Reel six to account for all of Griftons total.

Miss McLawhom was once again the big gun for disap-piinted Winterville by dumping in 15 points, giving her a two-game total in the toumey of 38.

In the second game of the evening, Aydens imbeaten Tor Dadoes got their biggest scare of the year in the conference but subdued a hustling, and pressing Winterville outfit, 75-38, by taking full advantage of their edge in height in dominating both boards.

Ayden took the lead on a pair of foul shots by hot Walter Claybrook, but Winterville came back to tie the score on a corner shot by Buddy Allen.

Tony DaU scored for Ayden underneath after a bit of play-making, but Winterville matched it on a driving layup by Levi Smith.

After Billy Stokes connected on a follow shot for the Tornadoes, Winterville tied it for the last time on a fadeaway jumper by Tim Mills.

Ayden then began to pull away slightly as Stokes hit on two successive follow shots and Claybrook tallied five more points to give them a 17-12 first period lead.

The turning point of the contest then came as the Tornadoes stmck up a wind that blew tough luck Wintervilles way.

TTie Wolves had about a dozen successive shots go in and come out as it appeared some one had slipped a lid over their basket, and Ayden struck quickly getting 12 points before the losers could score to take a

28-12 lead with 4:35 remaining in the half.

Ten seconds later, Winterville finally solved the puzzle and put one inthat stayed in, as Jeff Hazelton hit on a follow shot and even it rolled around the rim before dropping.

Winterville never could recover from this disastrous interval of time although they did manage to cut the lead back down to 12 at the half, 36-24.

With Steve Stox, Stokes and Claybrook wiping the boards clean, the fiery Tornadoes then broke the game open in the third period and took a 55-33 lead at the thre^uarter mark, before coasting in the final je-riod.

Gaybrook was the games high scorer with 22 points, followed in the Ayden lineup by Stokes with 13, Dail with 12 and Stox with 11. Hazelton paced Winterville with 21.

Robersonville Girls Win To Gain Finals

WILLUMSTON - Roberson-villes girls put together a third period rally that brought them a 36-21 victory over Jamesvilles girls here last night.

The Ramlets fell behind 6-4 at the end of the first period but came back to tie the score 11-11 at halftime.

They they rallied in the third period to outscore their foes, 14-4, to pull the win out of the fire.

Casandra McRorie hit for 17 points to spark the win, while Robersonvilles Frankie Ayers also hit double figures with 12.

Goldsmith and Isaac bettered it Thursday, but their marks can't be official since they came under specialized conditions.

Rain early in the week crttthed most qualifying into a single day. Five-mile separate runs around the 2.6^mile high banked track were abandoned. Cars ran in packs throughout the day and their best lap time counted for qualifying.

Hutcherson, who will sit beside Petty in the front row to Start Sundays sOO-mile chase for $140,OOO ia prizes, had the pole in the second of tc^ays 100-miloa.

West Virginia and Steve Lawrence 29 for Furman. But most jroliflc scorer was VMIs Char-ie Schmaus, who had 32 before fouling out with seven minutes to play in the Keydets loss to West Virginia.

-As Davidson prepared to scale its psychological mountain against Richmond, Coach Lefty Driesell showed no sign of semifinals shakes.

Asked how his Wildcats would stop Richmonds two uncanny outside shooters, Moates and Spike Welsh who scored 22 points Thursday Driesell Said: I havent even thought about it. We look loose and 1 think well find a way.

Most concerned was William and Marys Bill Chambers, whose Indians customarily dont shoot too well but rebound with fury and upset the opposition With their slow-poke efficiency and poise.

The word to describe the way I feel about our game with West Virginia is fear, said Chambers. We can play better and we have to or they'll stomp us right into the court. Richmond, winner of its last four games, set a tournament record by shooting 65.6 per cent against East Carolina on 29 field gdals in 44 shots. Welsh was 10 for 12 from the floor, Moates nine for 14 in the opening rounds most exciting game.

West Virginias Ron Williams set an individual record for the tournament with 10 assists, and added 10 points for the Mountaineers, whose bulky lead melted to six points before VMl with Schmaus out of the game lost its comeback fervor.

Disappointed Carr And Winning Coaches Comment On tourney

qMARLOTTE A briefly disappointed Wendell Can* had nothing but praise for the East Carolina Pirates, despite their 76-74 loss to Richmond yesterday in the opening round of the Southern Conference Tournament.

They played hard, and gave a 100 per cent effort, he said. But when (Grady) Williamson had to call time out when he hurt his feet, It ruined us. It was our fifth time out, and we couldnt get one to talk to the boys in the closing minutes when it got tight again.

Carr pointed out that when the Bucs had the ball after this, they didn't move the ball the way he wanted them to, they just stood around, holding it, and when we were finally ready for the shot, it didn't work.

He said the Bucs were trying to get Cox Inside, by drawing Richmond out, but they didnt move the ball enough.

Carr also pointed to the tremendous performance by Bobby Kinnard, playing his last game for the Pirates.

He kept us in the game when they got ahead, and then brought us back to where we couW have won it.

He also had praise for Rich monds fine guards, Johnny Moates and Spike Welsh. Carr

I said he thought Moates would take the last shot, but set up a defensive play to stop anpne.

Two players were to collapse on the ball carrier, and force him to pass back and have a player break In an attempt to intercept, and possibly get a snowbird. But only one of the men carried out his duties, and that killed the plav.

Richmond coach Lewis Mills felt his team did a good job in keeping the ball away from Charlie Alford and Jerry Wood-side, and that the shooting In the first half was the big t^st for Richmond.

Following the game, he told Tom Green who got the winning basket, that he played a lousy game for 39 minutes and 63 second, but the remaining seven seconds was enough to (nf-set It.

He felt that Jimmy Cox was one of the key players in the East Carolina offense.

Me said he knew that if he was hitting, he could kill the Spider. (Cox hit Six of 12 and got 17 points).

that Dick Snyder played his usual fine game.

It was the easiest first game Ayin in the tournament for us. Citadels Mel Thomps<m, however, moaned over his teams poor shooting.

The Bulldogs hit only 31.7 per cent. We couldnt have put the ball in the Atlantic Ocean today.

If wed hit, we might have had a chance, but we just couldnt keep up with them, and after we got down, we afe not the type of team to pick up 10 or 15 points.

Davidsons Lefty Drisell felt his team put together a good defense against The Citadel, and singled out Phil Squire for his defense on Wig Baumann.

Offensively, he picked Bobby Lane as the standout, but noted

The military In Viet Nam may be doing a good job, said VMIs Gary McPhetrson.' butl they sure didnt do it in Charlotte. in the first half. VMIs Charlie Schmaus drew special praise for his pulling VMI back into the game in the second half.

Schmaus hit 32 points in the game, mostly in the second half. But he fouled out and that killed the Keydets chances.

West Virginias Bucky Waters had a lot of praise for VMI, calling them a courageous team to come back against them In the second half.

Schmaus was great and his fouling out was probably what saved us. But the rest of the team also got the spirit from them and we still had a fight on out hands. Waters felt that his tough schedule during the regular season played a big role in the game, helping them not

Lyles Alley of Furman felt that having to change from the mart-to-man in the late stages of the game was a crucial factor in Furmans loss to William & Mary. We were in the zone to try and keep them from getting all the rebounds Alley said, admitting that Furman was not a good rebounding team.

We tried to get the ball Into Steve Lawrence, who played a fine game, he said. But he fouled out and that was it.

William & Mary's Bill Chambers moaned over the foul trouble his team got into, losing two starters on fouls, but felt his bench helped out a lot, with David Walker helping to fill the gap.

The fast break toward the end of the game, when the Indians finally pulled away drew praise from the coach and he picked Larry Paffrath for his fine ball-handling during that phase of the game. Me Also noted that Bane Surrat and Lawrence almost killed them with their fine shooting.

Coastal Refrigeration Corp. Growth Even

Has Seen Continuous Growth

Coastal Refrigeration Co., Inc. is located at 304 Hooker Road, Greenville, N. C. and because of its diversification is the largest business of this type east of Raleigh.

It is a closely held corporation that acquired property and inventory belonging to a company of the same name which was formed in Greenville in 1946. The company now has 15 regular employees with an annual payroll of approximately 175,000.00 a year.

The company has continuously expanded and has followed the policy of plowing its earnings back into physical assets. In July, 1955 the corporat i o n moved from West Fifth Street Extension to its new building on Hooker Road, and in 1958 the company constructed a warehouse on the lot along with its building for handling the additional expansion. At the present

time, the company owns and operates a fleet of nine trucks and autos to carry out its sales and service program. The company has a complete parts and service department along with sales display, and office facilities in the main building. A complete sheet metal shop and storage is in its warehouse. All of this property is self-contained on a lot 100 x 250 with security fencing for its vehicles and property.

Coastal Refrigeration Co., Inc.

! is complete 1 y diversified to meet the needs and desires of ;its customers over the entire I Eastern North Carolina area with the following capable people heading up its differe n t departments: Roger M. Collins, Jr., General Manager; Thomas M. Byrd, Sales Manager; Roger M. Collins, III, Sales Representative; Josephine R. Dees, Office Manager; George M.

The Griffon Times In Better Position To Serve

GRIFTON -- On August 14, 1952, the first issue of The! Grifton Times was published.! The birth of The Times came^ about when its founder, editor and publisher, Clyde G. Simmons of Kinston, saw the need of a paper in a town that was to grow in a ten year span so rapidly that it was the fastest! growing town in the state.

Simmons was invited to Grif-! ton by Ivan Bissette, the late; Thurman Williams and the then Mayor, Sam Nelson, and oth-. ers.

The first year, the Times! Building was begun and in the early summer of that year, the equipment was installed and the paper began publishing in its own home.

In the beginning, Simmons had, with him his son, Robert E. ^ Simmons, on the staff handling; advertising and circulation. Mr. Edwin ^ ves was social editor; Mrs. I' 3d Simmons was and! i.s the business manager of the paper. I

When Mrs. Reeves returned' to school teaching, Mrs. Maxine

Cobb became society editor and has held that position since.

In the years since the first issue'of the Grifton Times, many changes have been made in Grifton and The Times has moved along with them. It has promoted the town and pushed for better things for it.

The paper has outgrown its original equipment and t h e change was made to offset printing in June, 1963. This is the latest method in printing and the trend is to that method.

Today, The Grifton Times is in better position to serve its readers and advertisers than ever before, and is so doing. Its growth has been steady and the years ahead are looked forward to with giving even better service than it is today.

The staff is composed of C. G. Simmons, Sr., editor and publisher; C. G. Simmons Jr., associate editor; W. E. Weaver, mechanical supervisor; Maxine Cobb, society editor; Mildred Simmons, business manager; Alice Jolly, secretary and typist.

Respess, Service and Production Manager; Jean C. Hamill, Assistant Service Manager; and Louis W. Perkins, Sheet Metal Manager. A complete S h e et Metal Department with a 11 equipment and manpower to fabricate all types of metal ducts for air conditioning and heating or any specialty use located in its warehouse imder I the supervision of Louis Perkins, who has 30 years of experience in this work.

The Service and Installation Department is by far the largest department. The company has felt no product is any better than the installation and service that it is given. The serv i c e department maintains serv i ce 365 days of the year and use is made of an automatic answering service to facilitate this by which any customer can get service by the emergency crew simply be dialing the office telephone number (752-2294) after hours. The corporation con-t r a c ts service maintenance agreements over 30 counties of Eastern North Carolina and maintains adequate parts stock to take care of emergencies.

The installation department is capable of installing any type of air conditioning or refrigeration with George M. Respess, who has 32 years of experience, in complete charge.

The officers of the corporation are Roger M. Collins, Jr., President, George M. Respess, Vice-President, and W. P. Moore, Jr., Secretary-Treasurer. They fully realize the potential growth of Eastern North Carolina, therefore, the major part of earnings have been retained in the corporation for expansion of its facilities.

Amazes Buiider

I just dont know where all the people in Greenville and this area come from, exclaims R. R. Ross, super i n-tendent of The G r e e n v ilie Branch of Barrus Construction Company.

The amazing development of this area is almost bey o n d understanding, he continues. East Carolina College has been the hub around which all of this progress has evolved.

The Greenville Branch of Barrus Construction Company, located on East Mumford Road, employs 75 workers. The main office is located in Kins ton.

It was founded by A. K. Barrus of Kinston and has grown to serve Eastern North Carolina with various construction needs.

Ross, a native of Lillington, came to Greenville in 1952. Prior to his employment with Barrus Construction Company, he worked with the State Highway Commission and the government. In 1946, he joined Barrus as a superintendent.

Ross is married to the former Virginia McKay of Harngtt County. They have five children.

We are here and willing to serve the people of Greenville as often and as best we can, he said.

Security Life's Agent Believes In Community

Greenvilles Security Life and Trust Co. General Agent, W. M. (Booger) Scales believes in a man putting back into h i s community as much, if not more than he takes out of it. I truly believe, Scales declared, that a man cant live in a community and make it a one way street and Greenville has been wonderful to me.

Scales began his insurance career in 1948 and in 1953 became Security Lifes General Agent. In 1955, he was elected to the Winston-Salem-based insurance companys Board of Directors. At the time, he was the youngest director of a major life insurance company in the United States.

For the past 10 years. Scales has been Security Lifes top salesman and president of the companys Presidents Club. For 13 consecutive years, he has sold in excess of $1 million in life insurance, qualifying for membership in the Mi 11 i o n Dollar Round Table, a top honor for salesmen of all insurance companies.

According to Edwin J. Collette, President of Security Life, the company is characterized by progress in sales.

He pointed out that new business in 1965 rose by $26 million and life insurance in force recorded a net gain of $208,941,-569, a 12 per cent increase over 1964. Total insurance in force, Collette reported, was $2,145,-087,619 at the end of the year.

Associated with Sc a le s in the Greenville off i c e is R. Clarke Stokes, a native of Hertford, who joined the company some six and one-half years ago.

Stokes is a member of Security Lifes Presidents Club and has been awarded the National Quality Award presented by the National Association I of Life Underwriters. He is also a past president of the Pitt County Association of Life Underwriters, past president of the Greenville Lions Club. He is a Jaycee and a member of the organizations board of directors.

Ay den C-of-C Thrives On Theory Of Cooperation

AYDEN The Ayden Chamber of Commerce thrives on the theory of cooperation.

According to President Dr. Steven Sudor, recent months have brought forth evidence of cooperative efforts among the members of Aydens business community.

In August, 1965, he advised, the whole town was involved in a three-day sale called Harvest Sellabration.

The sale, Dr. Sudor said, featured a bargain in every store was a success, and the Chamber of Commerce credited the cooperation of local merchants as well as an extensive advertising campaign as reasons behind the projects reception by the buying public.

Dr. Sudor pointed out that the Chamber of Commerce - sponsored Christmas Parade is another of the organizations community promotion program and termed Decembers parade and associated business activity as one of the finest seasons weve had.

The parade is a big thing for Ayden, he declared, and we pack the people in here. Dr. Sudor said on conjunction with this years parade, the 25 merchants participated in a customers, shoppers carnival, during rh

which nrizes were awarded to

customers.

A local optomitrist. Dr. Sudor said the Chamber of Commerce is steadily working towards developing facilities and atmosphere which will be attractive to industry.

The feeling here is that we have a good place to live, he center, a residential center and declared, and we want to promote Ayden as a shopping center, a residential center and an area capable of handling industrial development.

Pointing out that the Chamber of Commerce works closely with the Pitt County Development Commission, Dr. Sudor said the organization has drafted a brochure to be used for industry-hunting, deliniating the ! attributes of the town.

, While Ayden already has I about five major industries and a number of smaller manu-I factoring operations, another i manufacturing concern, Ayden 'Garments, recently set up operations.

We have committees to cover every phase of development or potential development, Dr. Sudor said, listing the features of Ayden which makes it attractive for new business and industry. And, we have, with our sewage disposal system, the cleanest water anywhere. That is a good resource.

Nash Brick Co. Serves Big Area

I We produce good brick, claims co-owner and president !w. R. Coleman of Nash Brick ! Company located near Roc k y Mount. We pride ourselves in I both the quality and the service our corporation offers, he continued.

The company was founded in 1902 adjacent to the Rocky Mount airport. In 1957 a move was made to 23 miles west of Rocky Mount off highway 43.

At the time of the change in location, a great deal of expansion, production, and quality in products was experienced by the corporation.

We maintain our own fleet of trucks to insure prompt and efficient service, says C o 1 e-man.

Coleman began his career with the company by becoming a stock holder in 1947. In 1961, he took over as president.

A native of Rocky Mount, he attended the University of North Carolina. He is a member of the Rocky Mount Rotary Club.

Married to Stella H. Coleman, Coleman is the father of two children.

To Build Largest Bubble Chamber

ARGONNE, ni. (AP) - The Argonne National Laboratory will construct the worlds largest bubble chamber for studying nuclear particles.

First To Build Utilities Plant

WINTERVILLE - Winterville was the first Pitt County community to build a town-owned and operated utilities system. Town officials claim that a power line was built to carry current up to Greenville for sale there.

Today, however, the situation is reversed and Winterville buys its power from Greenville. The 1964-65 budget showed a revenue from electric charges at $63,-000 in the total town receipts of $116,045.

The old system operated only at certain hours of the day and an ordinance required 25 wyatt light bulbs on the lines. Charges were made according to the number of bulbs each customer had.

Today, Winterville buys about 250,000 kilowatts each month for sale to approximately 500 customers in the community.

Wintervilles revenue sources also include income from its water and sewage system charges.

The town has just completed its first full year of use of the new sewage treatment plant that went into operation in December of 1964.

The local government floated a $220,000 bond issue for the $436,000 construction p r o j ect, and the federal govemm e n t matched the balance.

Coupled to this project was extension of lines to provide access links to every house in the community. There are about 12 miles of such lines.

According to Mayor Walter Dail, there are about the same number of miles of water mains to serve the growing number of people in the town. There were 846 residents in 1950. A decade later, the figure had grown to 1,1416.

A new well was added to the water system about two years ago and is deep enough to tap soft water sources. The town does not have to add softeners to this newest source as it must with the hard water from the two older wells. i

Stokes is married to the former Catherine A. Jolly of Greenville. They have two children.

Mrs. Maxine Reel joined the Greenville office in January, 1959 and serves as secretary

and receptionist.

Scales, long active in Greenvilles civic ^fairs, is a native of Pitt County and attended Greenville High School and Fish-burne Military Academy in Waynesboro, Va.

He is married to the former Virginia Gaylord of Greenville and has three children.

Scales is the first man in Greenville to have received two of the communitys highe s t awards for work in community affairs. In 1957, he was named winner of the Jaycees Distinguished Service Award and in 1961 received the Exchange Clubs Book of Golden Deeds Award.

He is also a past winner of the North Carolina Jaycees Award in 1957 and has been featured as Tar Heel of the Week in the Raleigh News and Observer.

The acceptance of insurance in modem times is more general than ever, says J. D. Wilson, Sr., a man who has sold more than $25 million in insurance during his lifetime.

For a period of 43 years we have seen insurance really at work by observing benefits carried out to the end of their original purposes, from endowments to family protection plans and whole life policies as sold back in the 20s, 30s and 40s continue to perform their functions today.

Andrews, Betliel and Pitt County civic leader and agribusinessman, has filed reports in the Summer Theater office here that show 51 Bethel residents have bought season tickets. The Bethel quota for 1966 fias 50.

Bethelo showing, said E.C.C, President Leo W. Jenkins, is another example of the eagerness of this fine community, director of the theater, also praised the Bethel response to the 1986 subscription drive. He said support like that show by Andrews and the Bethel community gives us tremendous encouragement to make the 19-66 season our best yet with the leadership of one of its most outstanding citizens, to

make a deifinite contribution to a program which will continue to enrich our region.

Ghana's New Leaders Soy Liberties Abused

ACCRA, Ghana (AP) Ghana's new military leaders say they overthrew President Kwa-me Nkrumah because he had abused individual rights and liberties.

He has been running the country as if it were his own pers(Mial property, Radio Ghana, controlled by the new regime, said Thursday.

Announcing the creation of a National Revolutionary Council, the radio said Nkrumahs gross economic mismanage ment had forced Ghana to the brink of national bankruptcy.

What we need, the radio said, is a radical revolution of our financial and economic poli-des. This will be done almost inunediately.

The army seized power before dawn Thursday while Nkrumah was en route to Peking. He arrived there a few hours after ttie takeover was announced in A radio broadcast.

A combined paratroop-infan-try attack apparently met resistance only from the presidential security guard.

After a two-hour lull, small-Arms fighting resumed in the fcven-acre complex where Nkrumah lived and had his offices but there were no reports of serious clashes elsewhere.

Casualty estimates ranged from 4 to 18 dead and 30 wounded.

Thousands of persons danced In the streets after the fighting mded. They tore down statues

that Nkruma had erected to himself and gathered near the waterfront Usher Fort prison after a radio report that political prisoners would be freed in due course.

Ghana Radio did not name the members of the new council but said Lt. Gen. J. A. Ankrah, who was deposed some time ago, had been promoted from major general and was named armed forces commander.

The broadcast announcing the coup identified Col. E. K. Koto-ka as leader of the revolt.

Ervin Ray Register, 25, of Route 2, Tarboro was charged with failing to reduce his speed fnniigh to avoid an accide n t yesterday following investigation of a 9:30 a. m. mishap at the Intersection of Greene and Martin Streets.

Police, who set damage to the Register auto at $250, said it collided with a car driven by Robert Farrell Bristow, 63, of 1402 North Pitt St.

Damage to the Bristow vehicle was set at $85.

No injuries were reported.

Officers Chosen AF HD Meeting

New officers were elected at the meeting of the Grimesland Home Demonstration Gub meeting held at the home of Mrs. Lillian Gatlin Monday.

Those elected included: Mrs. Thelma Little, president; Mrs. Lucy Dudley, vice-preside n t; Mrs. Geneva Gatlin, secretary; Bfrs. Bertha Parker, assistant secretary; Mrs. Australia Hardy, repmler.

Refreshments were served by fhe hostess.

RALEIGH (AP)Spokesmen for North C ar o 1 i n a tobacco growers feel that a proposal to set liability limits this year on tobacco i n s u r an c e policies I would discourage farmers from j producing full quotas.

I They told State Insurance I Commissioner Edwin S. Lanier I Thursday the proposal possibly ! would drive the growers to the federal government for crop in-i surance.

i Lanier said the proposal by I the N.C. Fire Insurance Rating Bureau was a pre-indictment j of farmers who might grow I more than their quota under the j acreage-poundage control systems.

He indicated he may order the bureau to restudy tiie matter and offer an alternate proposal.

The bureau has proposed that all policies in 1966 contain a provision limiting damage payments to poundage that could be sold under acreage - poundage control. Under the proposal, a grower who lost harvested tobacco by smoke or fire would not collect insurance if he sold his full poundage quota for that season.

Find A Need For More Treatment

DURHAM-Judson H. Blount, 76, has been found in need of further observation and treat-ment and has been committed jto Duke Hospital for an additional 180 days.

I Blount has been undergoing treatment as a mental patient at Duke since January, when he was brought here for a 20 day commitment January 28, through affidavit of Dr. Phillip G. N el son of Greenv ille. Blounts son and two daughters, J. H. Blount, Jr. and Mrs. Howard Hodges and Mrs. Alfred Willis III, had requested the committmant.

Dr. Hans Lowenbach, Duke psychiatrist has advised the family to petition for permanent committment.

The 180 day committment was ordered by Gerk of Superior Court Alton J. Knight following a hearing at Duke Hospital.

Blount himself argued there was nothing wrong with h i s mind. He told, however, if he had to be hospitalized he wanted to be transferred to Highland Hospital in Asheville, a Duke affiliate that treats patients with nervous disorders.

Dr. Lowenbach testified that Blount, because of senility, was subject to violence and combative assaults. He added that Blount is being given tranquilizer drugs to lessen anger.

Education Lives By Politics - Sanford.

PowaII, KisHr & Co.

MEMBER or THE NEW YORK STOCK EXCHANGE

POWELL T. SPEIGHT

REGISTERED BEFRESENTATIVE Can PL 8446S of PL 8-2439

DURHAM (AP) Former Gov. Terry Sanford of North Carolina says education lives by politics l^ause it is a function of government.

Sanford, whose administration was linked closely with new educational programs, told North Carolina and Virginia educators Thursday that educational improvements and innocations go hand-in-hand with politics.

He noted that the Compact for Education, now endorsed by more than a dozen states as a way to exchange educational information and methods, was the creation of political action on the part of governors, legislators and educators.

The 250 teachers from public schools in North Carolina and Virginia, participating in the Duke University seminar, also

were told that public' apathy was behind money problems that beset both the Democratic and Republican parties in North Carolina.

State Democratic Chairman J. Melville Broughton told the group that many see money as a means of buying votes or blocs of votes. But I can assure you the use of money would be lessened if we could solve the problems of voter apathy.

Financing the state Republican party was listed as our biggest problem by state Republican Chairman James Gardner and said the GOP is atr tempting to put the art of raising money on a businesslike basis.

The seminar c o n . i n u e d through today with talks by additional speakers.

WEATHER FORECAST The Friday night forecast includes snow from the Great Lakes Into New England and from the central and irorthem Rockies Northwest, changing to rain along the coast. Cold air moves south from Canada across the Great Lakes states.

Postman May Be CensusJaker

WASHINGTON (AP) For most Americans the census taker in 1970 could turn out to be tht postman.

Andrew F. Brimmer, assistant secretary of commerce for economic affairs, said a census by mail technique will represent a basic change in the enumerating process for the 1970 nose count.

In a talk prepared for a conference of population and housing census users. Brimmer said most Americans will answer the 1970 census by filling out a form delivered by the postman rather than face an enumerator for a personal interview.

This system will save money and produce more reliable results, he said. Some persons may be less inhibited in answering questions if they are merely filling out a form rather than facing an interviewer. After all, sometimes that interviewer is the person who lives next door.

Seeking Federal Recreation Aid

GREENSBORO (AP)James Stevens, assistant director of the North Carolina Recreation Department, says the state hopes to get $1.5 million in federal aid for recreation projects in the Tar Heel State.

Stevens told a subcommittee of the Piedmont Triad Committee Thursday that the federal aid would be increased to $2.5 million each year thereafter under state recreation plans.

He said he was very optimistic that some of the funds could be used for a regional park-recreation center in the Northern Piedmont. But he suggested less stress be put on plans for a zoo in the park and more on water recreation facilities.

Today In Washington

Commander Salutes Gl Performance

SAIGON, South Viet Nam (AP) Gen. William C. Westmoreland, commander of U.S. forces in Viet Nam, paid high tribute today to 2,500 American infantrymen while on a personal tour of the battle-scarred jungle north of Saigon where they hurled back a fierce predawn Viet Cong assault Thursday.

Astride the hood of a jeep, the general told his men: You gave the enemy a sound defeat and I am proud of you. Your performance was in the highest spirit and professional conduct of U.S. fighting men. I salute you.

The discovery of 46 more bodies outside the camps barbed-wire defenses raised the toll of enemy dead to at least 135. Many more were believed to have been dragged away by the Viet Cong. Fifteen Communists were taken prisoner.

While officers of the U.S. 1st Infantry Divisions First Brigade briefed Westmoreland on one of the heaviest attacks of the war experienced by American troops, action elsewhere in the past 24 hours tapered off. U.S., South Vietnamese and other Allied troops reported only sporadic contact with the enemy.

By THE ASS(X:iATED PRESS

WASHINGTON (AP) Starting in July, Selective Service will begin drafting 2,496 physicians for the armed forces.

The Defense Department says it needs 1,446 doctors for the Army, 700 for the Navy and 350 for the Air Force.

And, before the doctors go, 900 male nurses will be drafted for active duty in the Army and Navy. This draft starts in April.

The department said the action was necessary to meet added medical requirements for South Viet Nam casualties and because of the over-all increase in military strength.

WASHINGTON (AP) - The House and the administration have ended a near impasse on proposed increases in the minimum wage.

Rep. Adam Clayton Powell, D-N.Y., chairman of the Education and Labor Committee, reported Thursday that he had endorsed an increase to $1.40 an hour this year and $1.60 in 1968.

Powell had been holding out against demands by organized labor for a boost to $1.60 next year.

Minimum wage legislation has been tied up in a subcommittee because the administration has been unwilling to go along with the faster step-up proposed by labor and backed by some sub^ committee members.

The minimum wage now is $1.25 an hour.

Hendrix has a quick answer;

Latest figures show that 53.1 per cent of all deaths in North Carolina are caused by h e art disease of one kind or another. Heart disease is the number

I one killer in the United States, taking more lives each year than cancer, pneumonia and intluen-za and even automobile accidents all put together. This was true last year despite the fact that since 1950 the death rale from diseases of the heart and blood vessels among men between 45 and 64 has been cut by six per cent.

The only way to cut this figure lower is through research, treatment, education and other programs. That is what the Heart Fund doesprovid e s money to conduct such programs.

I The history of the American Heart Association dates back to 1916, long before a state or local organization existed. In that year, a group of New York physicians formed the first organized society for the prevention and relief of heart diseases.

This Will Be A Year Of Change For Farmville Utilities Service

FARMVILLE - 1966 is the year of change for Farmville Utilities.

Most of our improvements have been to our power lines, said James H. Pittman, Utilities Superintendent, And we are raising our primary voltage from 2,400 to 12,000 volts. According to the Superintendent, some $60,000 has been expended for power line improvements, and $55,000 for the addition of two circuits.

The voltage conversion project, Pittman said, was begun in January, and is expected to be completed in June, with the cost estimate running from

$55,000 to $110,000.

At his post since October, 1964, Pittman said the utilities improvements were needed to keep pace with the growth of the town, and more specifically, the power requirements of the industrial complex in and around Farmville,

The influx of new residents, accompanying industry and business, has also created requirements for modernization of utilities equipment and servicies.

An outgrowth of the increased requirements was the addi tion of a $7,000 bucket ladder truck in January, for use in

servicing high power lines and street lights.

We could have been using this truck for the last five years if wed had it, Pittman said. We can use it for many things.

He pointed out that the purchase of the truck was brought about by the demand of the public for continuity of services.

A lot of jobs can be done with this truck in half the

In order to benefit the blind program, which is a state-wide project of Lions Clubs, the Ayden Club has conducted community calendar and broom sales to raise funds, Garris said.

As far as other projects are concerned, Garris pointed out that the Lions Club also provides backing for the Ayden Recreation League, by the sponsorship of a baseball leam.

In addition to Garris, other officers of the club include Stancil Summrell, treasurer and Kenneth Jesneck, secretary.

The new department opened in September and is used for the display of desks, office machines, and other office furniture.

Pittman said recent months have been spent in extending Farmville Utilities services to five new subdivisions, with crews installing equipment for water, sewer and power.

'The factors involved in Farm-villes growth, Pittman said, have rendered necessary other moves to account for future expansion of the residential and industrial portions of the town.

As a part of the program to meet demands, he advised, an additional deep well was added in January to the four already supplying Farmvil 1 e s water needs. During the same month, a second sewage disposal plant began operation.

The disposal plant, Pittman said, was built at a cost of $150,-

W.R. Duke Sees Upward Trend

FARMVILLE - During my 13 years here in Farmville,

1 have watched the economy start an upward trend and along with this went the morale and general optimism of the people, says W. R. Duke, president of Duke Buick-Pontic Inc., of Farmville.

inie recent establishment of industry is resoonsible for this. It is to this ch^ge in attitudes that I credit my own prosperity and growth.

The Duke Buick-Pontiac Company of Farmville has dealt in automobile sales and service since 1952 when its owner and founder W. R. Duke, began business.

Duke, who is a native of War-renton, is a graduate of the Gold Sand High School.

His experience includes work as a district manager for the Life and Casualty Insurance Company prior to establishing his own company. 1

He is a member of the | Greenville Lions and Moose and | also belongs to the Farmville! Masonic Lodge Shrine C1 u b. i

He is past president of t h e Pitt County Automobile Dealers Association.

Married to the former Hilda Griffin, he is the father of three children.

In 1924 the American Heart Association was formally incorporated, but was still composed mainly of physicians interested in research and professional education.

It was not until 1946 that work began on reorganizing the association into a national voluntary health agency. During the year 1946-47, the first National Heart Week was held.

The first national Heart Fund campaign followed shortly after, in 1949, and in that same year, a tentative office for a North Carolina Heart Association was established in Winston-Salem and the first Heart Fund campaign held.

That first year, the association raised approximately $6,-000 throughout the state, or more than $500 less than Pitt County alone raised last year.

Thus, the ^owth of the Heart Association is shown. What began as an idea in the minds of a group of physicians 50 years ago has emerged as a major national, state and local health agency.

Pitt County has played and will continue each year to play its part in contributing to the valuable work of the state and national Heart Associations.

Mayor S. Eugene West and three incumbent councilmen were returned to office by Greenviile voters in the citys

Dealership Has Changed Hands

We would like to thank all the people of Greenville and Pitt County for the wonderful welcome we at Phelps Chevrolet received upon opening this past year, remarked Waverly D. Phelps.

Phelps is the new owner of the dealership as of November, 1965.

We plan to give the best in service to our customers, Phelps continued.

elections last May.

West ras over his only opponent, John C. Tyburski 2,353 to 690, while incumbents Percy Cox, John Howard, and Ralph Brimley and new comer J. Edwin Clement won over five other men for seats on the council by substantial majorities.

Dr. Clement replaced Dr. Earl Trevathan on the council. Dr. Trevathan did not seek re-election.

The race was Tyburskis first bid for elective office. He filed for election on the final day of the filing period.

Cox took the lead in the council race, polling 1,719 votes. Cox'was defeated in the 1963 city elections but was appoint

ed to fill a vacancy on the council when A. Hartwell Campbell resignea.

Cox was followed by Howard who received 1,538 votes. Dr. Brimley received 1,427 votes while Dr. Clement took 1,355 votes.

The winners were followed by D. D. Garrett with 1,058; Troy B. Dodson with 1,045; Robert Lee Smith with 939; Louis E. Clark with 842 and John D. Grier with 573.

Two other incumbents, municipal Recorders Court Judge Charles Whedbee and solicitor Eli Bloom were re-elected without opposition.

Whedbee received 2,981 votes while Bloom polled 2,701.

The total vote of 8,258 waa much less than the record 4,300 vote record set in 1968 and the 4,292 votes cast in 196L

The 1961 and 1963 tumouta came in the fact of the i issues of public housing and slum clearance for the city.

It was the third time West had been elected to the mayors chair. He also served three terms as a member of the council.

West has been a leader in the fight for slum clearance in Greenville and instituted the Shore Drive redevelopment project now under way. He has also placed emphasis on street widening and improvement projects.

Our sales have increased and with this increase, we will be able to share some of the profit with the customer.

Automobile sales and service has been provided for the Pitt County area by the Chevrolet dealership for more than 34 years.

It was founded in 1933 by J. J. White, Sr., and W. S. Brown. Walter Harrington became an associate in 1954.

PROCESSING . . Assistant Librarian Mrs. Eva T. Mon k (left) and Librarian Mrs. Gray Martin put the necessary touches to new books before placing them on the shelves of the Farmville Library.

Located at 2308 Memor i a 1 Drive, the firm under Phelps ownership employs 40 employees.

FARMVILLE-The FarmvUle libr^ has no problem with reading fads. They read everything, said Mrs. Gray Martin, librarian. Of course, Jbe best sellers are always in circulation, but they read just anything.

Reading anythi^, and the Increase of Farmville residents, through industry, has required adjustment for the Librm*y to meet demands.

At the end of the fiscal year, June 30, 1965, said Mrs. Martin, We had 7,934 books, which includes 577 new books.

The librarian noted that the books came to the library by moans of the towns appropria

tion to the library to purchase books and through donations by individuals.

The reason for the increase in volumes, Mrs. Martin said, is evident by the circulation figures. She pointed out that the 1964 circulation amounted to so 15,170 books, while the 1965 figures demonstrated considerable Increase, with 16,355.

Breaking down the totals, Mrs. Martin said the 1964 total included 9,340 adult books circulated and 5,830 childrens.

The 1965 figures, she advised, showed 10,677 adult books and 5,678 childrens.

Located on the comer of Walnut and Church Streets, the lib

rary has experienced continuing growth since opening in 1954.

A gift from the late Elizabeth Davis, in memory of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Francis Marion Davis, the building, of Georgian design, first housed 2,290 volumes.

The collection has increased significantly in recent years, through contributions from A.C. Monk, Farmville tobbaconist, and various town organizations.

Mrs. Martin, who has served as librarian since the opening of the facility in 1954, said during the initial years, the libra^ was primarily utilized by children, but over the years, circulation has become sparked by

adult readers.

Assistant Librarian Mrs. Eva T. Monk explained that school children still form a major part of the librarys circulation volume, and more so, since the influx of new residents has caused an upsurge in the population of the Farmville schools.

Our busiest time of the year, however, said Mrs. Monk, is after Christmas, when the weather is cold and bad and the farm people, who cant work come in to read.

Phelps is a native of Columbia, where he attended Creswell High School. He had 14 years of car dealership experience in Columbia before coming to Greenville.

In Columbia, Phelps was chairman of the executive Dem-jocratic committee and superin-jtendent of the Methodist Memorial Church. He was also on the board of the Albemarle Development Association.

Married to the former Gay Hopkins of (k)lumbia, Phelps is the father of five childrra.

At Cold Harbor on June 2, 1864, Sgt. R.R. Fleming, Pvts. M.A. James, J.H. Cherry and Coggins captured 63 Yankees.

Planning was continuing also ion the 16 acre Newtown clearance project and housing units have been reserved to handle displaced families here. Newtown is located on 14th Street near the Norfolk Southern and ACL railroad crossing.

Finally the Redevelopment Commission is at work on the 440 Midtown projects. This involves a careful study of all housing in older section of the city. Much of the housing will be brought up to standard by property owners, although some small areas within it will probably have to be cleared.

Midtown is expected to be a long term program designed to bring most of Greenvilles substandard housing up to a safe and sanitary level.

The various urban renewal projects will be expensive. The CBD project, for instance, is estimated to cost $7,024,400. However, the federal government will pay three-fourths of this. Thus the citys share will be $1,716,539. But the city can

Principal Has Pride In Gains

AYDEN Ayden High School Principal Ed Warrfe^kes pride in people and perc^ntigbs.

In 1965, he said, y4 per cent of our graduating Seniors went on to further education. In 1964, it was 68 per cent.

Why?

I think there is more interest in parents and students, he explained. Both know good work has to be done in order to get into college.

With an enrollm e n t of 250, Warren described the schools curriculum as strong, o u t-weighing anything else. And, he pointed to community support as a motivating factor for students.

You just couldnt find better community support, he declared. The students have pride in themselves, and realizing the community supports them, they try to do well.

Warren cited as evidence of community interest in school affairs the productions of the recently-instituted drama program.

guage to our students, he declared.

Warren termed the schools overall program as balanced.

He said the school has inaugurated a dropout committee to assist with reducing the dropout problem. The committee members are made of interested Ayden citizens.

Our dropout cases are referred to the committee and as a result, we have fewer dropouts, he declared.

Warren said the school has recently completed re-evaluation for the Southern association of Colleges and Schools and had met the standards of the accrediting organization.

We dont stress just athletics, he declared. We stress these other things, too. We take pride in meeting the standards of the Southern Association.

Community support of the athletic program is more than evident, Warren noted. Its nearly a way of life in Ayden.

Our Tornado Club helps us financially and in other ways, supporting all sports, he said. They do a lot of good. Warren, who came to Ayden in 1963 from the principalship at Belvoir-Falkland High School, received his A. B. Degree from Atlantic Christian and his M. A. from East Carolina College.

Warren is currently working with the State Department of Public Instructions small high school project in Hyde County as a consultant. The project,! headed by Dr. Joseph Johnson is designed to upgrade smaller high schools in Hyde.

Warren said he hopes the future will bring new educational programs to Ayden.

I would like to have a distributive education program and if we can get the funds, additional classes in .science, he said.

He noted that the school will shortly be adding courses in geography and that an advanced mathematics course for thei eighth grade has already been! instituted.

Lautares Jewelers Grows With Rest Of Greenville

MAYOR FRANK AILEN

Auto Specialty Has A Full Line

Thats our biggest amount of progress here, said Mayor Frank Allen. The continued growth of housing develoi^ ments.

Within the town limits, six subdivisions, already studded with houses, are undergoing constant expansion.

In some areas, workers put finishing touches on structures nearly ready for occupancy.

Elsewhere, foundations are being laid.

This has been necessary,** said Allen, not only because of

the influx of industry, but also because Farmville is a growing community and attracts people on its own.**

Why? '

People want to go with a winner,** the Mayor explained. They would rather go with a progressive town than with one that is standing still.*

During the past year, Farmville has acquired one new industry and has been benefitted by the expansion of another. In the downtown area.

Insurance Fitm Sees Big Strides

Distributor of the micro remanufactured engine Auto Specialty Company, Inc. of Greenville offers a complete line of parts f(M* the auto-moble.

We have facilities for crankshaft grinding and repair, says H. L. Austin of the company.

The business was orighially founded in 1942 by W. B. Peel. In 1964, a corporation was formed by W. R. Austin and H. L. Austin who is a part owner and manager of the automotive machine shop and is a wholesale parts jobber.

H. L. Austin, manager, is a native of Washington, North Carolina. He attended Washington High School and Swan Quarter High School. Upon graduation, he entered East Carolina College.

Austin and his wife, Bobbie Credle Austin, have one son, H. L. Austin, Jr.

In commenting on his business, Austin said, We appreciate the patronage of our customers.

I wish to thank the many thousands of Jefferson Standard policy holders for protecting their families and businesses through our services, says Max Ray Joyner of the Jefferson Standard Life Insurance Company of Greenville.

Greenville and Eastern North Carolina are making tremendous economic progress and we hope that Jefferson Standard will be as accepted in the future as it has been in the past.

Our Elconomic Council has had a tremendous impact on the growth and progress of this town, Allen advised. The Coundl members are tmselfish . . . they put aside personal gain for community gain. Surburbia, the companion of industrial centers, is gradually developing in Farmville.

To cope with the situation, the town has improved the capabilities of the public utilities, police and fire departments.

Tarmville has always been a wide-awake town, Allen said. It has always met its goals. There is a feeling here that we can get the job toe if we put out shoulders to the wheel. But, a wheel needs a cooperative push.

Theres no doubt that the people of Farmville work exceptionally well together, the Mayor explained.

Elected to his post in May, 1965, Allen, a farm equipment dealer, heads a fiv&;man Board

of Commissioners, composed of Sam Wainwright, Robert Lee Smith, Dr. Sylvester Aycock, W. C. Wooten and Cedrick Davis.

The economic destiny of the town is their concern, and Alien is optimistic.

I think Farmville will experience continued progress and growth during the coming years, because of our present momentum in this direction, he said. The citizens of Farmville form a team which possesses leadership, desire and cooperation.

rii Dally Reflactor, Oraanvllla, N. C.Progratt and Sutiiwaa llavlaw, 196^A-15Farmville Fire Company Is Over Fifty Years Old

farmville - The Fire Station here remains locked and quiet most of the time.

But, with the sound of alarm, the volunteers pur forth from the drug stores, barbershops, department stores and other places, throw open the doors, don their gear and race away on the ever-ready trucks.

The majority of my men are available during the day in this two-block area, said Fire Chief Curtis Flanagan, surveying the business district. j

The Fire Company dates back i more than 50 years. R. E. Belch-! er was the first chief, followed by Chief Haywood A. Smith, who retired in 1960, and for whom the Fire Station is named.

Flanagan, who is also Secretary of the N. C. Firemans Association and a member of the

N. C. Fire Service Training Advisory Commission, succeeded Chief Smith upon his retirement.

Flanagan joined the department

as a volunteer in 1950, and ed as Assistant Chief for 12 years before assuming the duties of Chief.

Servil both Farmville and the niraTareas around the town, the dep^tment is equipped with two Amwican La France-equipped trucks, which include pumper and tank units.

In November, the company added a $2,400 tanker truck to carry water supply into areas, primarily rural, where no hydrants are available.

In addition, with modernization of equipment and practices as impetus, the department has also purchased, and is now utilizing two Scott Air-Packs, breath

ing aparatus to enable firemen to enter heavy smoke.

The equipment, according to Chief Flanagan was purchased at cost of $300 per unit.

This equipment, he said, along with similar equipment, is highly important for the protection of men and to enable

fire-fighters to move into a fire, which puts them in a better position to do a better job.

Nnmbers 43 Men

The unit, composed solely of volunteers, now number 43 men. Flanagan said with the increase in personnel, the units training

Carolina Dairy Serving Today A Six-County Area

program has beoi intensified.

The local training, said Flanagan, consists of regularly-scheduled training exercises, utilizing old buildings which the owners have requested to be burned, as training aids.

Most of the time, Flanagan explained, We take an old building and set it up as a smoke

house, in order to give the men a taste of working with the aif-packs.

While local training is mainly practical exercise, the department also sends men to neighboring industrial education centers for participation in courses in fire-fighting and fire-preven-tion measures.

November 28, 29 and 30th, said Flanagan, We had five men training at the Wilson Counity Technical Institute. The pro-jgram was set up by the Institute, the Wilson Fire Depart-jment and the Eastern Carolina Firemans Association.

But, the principal difference between two training programs

is that the local int>gram is continuous to acMeve a state ol constant readiness.

We are following a standard training program, the Fire Chief advised, recognized by the N. C. State Firemans Association, the office of the Commissioner of Insurance md the Community Colleges.

Carolina Dairy today produces 9,000 gallons daily, getting milk from more than 50 producers to serve a business area that includes Martin, Pitt, Beaufort, Onslow, Hyde, and Washington Counties.

In addition, the firm holds a contract to supply milk products to the Seymour Johnson Air Force Base in Goldsboro and also supplies milk to the marine base at Cherry Point.

Manager Ercell Webb reports that the companj established another processing facility at Kinston last year.

When the dairy products company began processing and distributing its products in 1936 it product 150 gallons daily from two milk producers to serve his Greenville customers.

Webb went on to say that in 1963 the dairy was selected as the outstanding All Star Dairy Association, a national group of indej;ndent dairies.

Original founders of the company were J. B. Webb, Jr., M. 0. Blount and C. W. Harvey.

The firm is located today on Memorial Drive and it now en>-ployes 46 people.

Ercell Webb is a native of Chowan County and graduated from Edenton High School before earning his^ B. S. degree from Wake Forest College.

Webb has worked as a teach-er-c 0 a c h in the Pinehurst School System and later became auditor of the North Carolina State School Commission of the state board of education.

He came to Carolina Dairy Products in 1956.

Webb has served as past president of the Greenville Merchants Association and the Junior Chamber of Commerce and the Greenville Rotary Club. He was president of the North Carolina Dairy Products Association and treasurer of the All Star Dairy Association.

In 1842 the Tar River flooded quite a large area. This is said to be the biggest flood ever known in the County.

Tax Rates Cut Farmville For mS-M

FARMVILLE - We are In good shape financially.

A major portion of the business of operating the town of Farmville is the business of Carl Beamon, treasurer, tax collector and clerk.

And business was, and is, good enough for a cut in the tax rate for 1965-66.

According to Beamon, the municipal tax rate on property was reduced from $1.50 per $100 valuation in 1964-65 to $1.10 for the current year.

We felt this would be adequate for our needs, the town treasurer said.

The principal reason for Farm-villes financial security is the revenue derived from the municipal operation of utilities.

Beamon said approximately 60 per cent of funds delegated to the municipal budget is derived from utilities revenue.

Our budget for this year totals $879,536.20, he explained. Out of that, we anticipate $560,554.20 will come from the utlies.

The treasurer pointed out that the towns financial structure involves three funds: the general fund, utility fund and debt service fund.

The general and utility funds, he explained, offset expenses of general municipal operations, while the debt service fund is I utilized to make payments on bonds. I

We have a very sound situa-ton here, Beamon declared. Of course we have some indebtedness, but we are offsetting that each year.

Farm-CityDayObservancels Successfully Begun In 1965

Hia importance of both the rural and urban communities was brought into the focus of public attention during 1965 with the advent of Farm-(^ty Day for Greenville and Pitt County.

Under t h e sponsorship of

the agricultural committee of

the Kiwanis Club of Greenville, the successful observance of

Farm-City Day was held on the campus of East Carolina College on November 24. The day-long program featured a variety of seminars on both agriculture and industry was highlighted by a speech in Ficklen Stadium by one of the best-known agricultural men in the nation.

Horace D. Godfrey, administrator of the USDAs Agricultural Stabilization and (^n-servation Service, delivered the keynote address for Farm-City Day before a crowd of agri

cultural and business leaders lead by James A. Graham, North Carolina Commissioner of Agriculture.

Godfrey, in his address, painted a rosy picture of agriculture for North Carolina and the nation, saying that all is fair and well for agricultural and agribusiness enterprises.

He remembered to the group the many hard times that agriculture has faced in the past and said, I am glad to report that on a whole agriculture is better off than in any peacetime period in history.

He told the group that farm income for the nation had increased 11.5 billion since 1960 and attributed much of the success to the ASCS sponsored feed grain, cotton, wheat and tobacco programs.

We are headed in the right direction, said Godfrey. And

we need to continue to make progress. We still have problems and we need to deal with them.

The morning session of the Farm-City Day Activities saw representatives of Pitt Technical Institute plug skilled trades to supplement the farm income of the area. Joe Downy, from Pitt Tech, offered a full explanation of the evening and extension programs at the school and how it was possible for almost anyone to attend classes.

This was followed by talks by agricultural specialists from N. C. State University and by local farmers who specialize in poultry, swine, beef, cucumbers and farm record keeping.

The Farm-City Day program was under the direction of Dr. Grover Everette, president of the Kiwanis Qub and Carl Kin-law, chairman of the clubs agricultural committee.

During the past few years, the basketball program at East Carolina has begun the long transition from small time to big time, and the journey is only partially completed.

It took the Bucs some time ! before they finally gained a victory over a Southern (kmfer-ence team under Wendell Carr, the head coach, but this was finally achieved during the last season.

The Bucs started that year off like a house-afire, and quickly built up a winning record.

Then after a victory over The Citadel In Wilmington, they were caught in a snowstorm and made an all-night trip to Lenoir Rhyne, where a long losing streak began, as they had six straight defeats, all on the road.

But they finally ended this with a win, again over The Citadel, and went on to compile ^ 12-10 record.

But the big story for that season was the fantastic freshman team put together by the coach-ing staff.

The freshmen rolled to a 14-5 record, and in their final few games averaged over 100 points per contest.

Three of these freshmen are now members of the varisty team' and two have broken into the starting lineup.

* The Pirates this year are led iby senior Jerry Woodisde, who had a 19.6 average last season, and averaged over 20 points in the first month of play.

Joining Woodside in the fore-court is Bobby Kinnard, the teams top rebounder last season. This year, he is serving as captain of the team. Grady Williamson, a third senior on the starting five, is back in the starting lineup and is rated as a good team leader and good defensive player.

The two sophomores joining them are Jimmy Cox at a guard post and Charlie Alford at center.

Ck)x, a fine ball-handier and' shooter, averaged 18 points per! game as a freshmen, and is not too far below that this season. Alford, at center, hit for 20.6 last season, and has been | hitting about 15 points per game

this season.

At 69, Alford is* the teams tallest man.

The Bucs had their troubles at the start of the 1965-66 season, but were expected to climb out of their miseries once the

defense started clicking.

Coach Carr is aiming for them to reach their peak during the tournament in early March, when the conference champ and NCAA tournament representative is chosen.

ECC BASKETBALL . . . Jerry Woodside, leading scorer for East Carolina for the past two years, goes up for a basket in one of the games this season. The Bucs picked for a high finish, did not do as well as expected of them, but are hoping to pick up in the tournament.

Deaton Can See

Ayden Potential

AYDEN Theres a man behind the City Managers desk here who measures a towns development potential with a yardstick of experience.

Phillip L. Deaton assumed the duties of City Manager Oct. 1, 1965. Although the time has been relatively short for effective measurement, he recognizes the areas ripe for exploitation and those that will take a while long-ei- to bring around.

I think Ayden has excellent potential in the residential community for people who wish to live near but not in Greenville or Kinston, he said. And the possibilities for industrial ^owth are present, but not quite as evident.

He cited as the principal problem facing Ayden insofar as both residential and industrial development are concerned is the high value of land.

That is the greatest drawback, he declared. There is high value placed on land in and surrounding Ayden which s currently being used for ag

ricultural purposes.

Father of four children, Deaton is a 1957 graduate of Wake Forest College. He received a A. B. degree in Political Science. He also holds a Masters of Public Administration degree from the University of Denver, which he received In 1961.

Upon graduating from Denver, Deaton was employed by the Pennsylvania Economy League and Bureau of Municipal Research, Eastern Division. In connection with his work, he co-authored two books. Proposed Position Classification and Pay Plan for Bucks County Government, published in 1961, and Philadelphia Government, published in 1963.

In 1962, he was appointed Chief of Personnel and General Services of Petersburg, Va. and was subsequently elevated to the position of Aministrative Assistant to the City Manager of Petersburg, a position he held until accepting the position of Ayden City Manager.

Deaton is a native of Akron, Ohio.

opportunity for customers to purchase items when needed, on a pay-as-you-wear plan. Without the credit, many customers could not have made the purchases because of lack of immediate cash.

Some of the most famous brand names in the country, added with Belk-Tylers just completed expansion program, gives the store a dual image.

The image is that of a store offering top qualtiy, name brand items for the more discrimina-ing customer. And at the same time, Belk-Tylers retains its long established reputation of a store offering quality merchandise at popular prices.

Local manager of the store is B. D. Johnston, a native of Courtland, Virginia. He has spent a large portion of his business life in Greenville with the exception of short periods during which time he served in positions of management in other Belk-Tyler Store.

Johnson is married to the former Vivian Edmonds of Roanoke Rapids and they make their home on Orton Drive in Greenville.

Mr. and Mrs. Johnston are members of the Jarvi Methodist Church. Johnston is a member of the Board of Trustees of the church and is a past president of the Ellingtons Mens Bible Class.

Clerk Of Court Responsible For Large Segment Of Pitt Business

D. T. House is the opinion that the Cleric of Courts Office **is the most r^ponsible office In the county. He has a lot of evidence to back him up.

House is the Pitt County Clerk of Court and his job, and the jobs of his staff, are awesome! In both size and importance.

Passing through the Clerks Office every year is every rec-cord of every case, criminal and civil, brought to Pitt Superior and Recorders C o urt, plus monies and records of monies bandied by the courts.;

And that is just the begin-1 ning. The Clerks office is not! merely a bookkeeper. House | and his assistant, H. L. Lewis,; have responsibilities of considerably more consequence.

The Clerk handles many judicial matters, and, in fact, actually acts as judge in m a n y cases, such as cases involving estates or minors. There are any number of civic actions that come before the Clerk rather than the court its e 1 f, and all civic actions begin in the Qerks Office.

The Clerk, House, is also IIm Judge dl Juvenile Court,

which includes cases involving children under 16; he acts in a I judicial capacity in cases involving adoption and custody of children; and has the authority to issue judgments at sanity hearings.

For House, who has been Clerk of Pitt County Court since July, 1945, working with minors is the most important! and most responsible part of his job. Its up to me to see that their interests are protected.

House is a native and life-l long resident of Pitt Co u n ty.; He has the unique distinction of having attended and completed his undergraduate study at Trinity College, but obtaining his degree from Duke University. It seems that between the time he finished and the degree was awarded, the name was changed.

After college, he returned to Pitt County and was a teacher and prindpal of a school for 12 years. Then he quit and turned to farming for a livili-hood. He served on the Pitt County Board of Commissioners for five years and assumed the office of Clerk in 1945.

FARMVILLE - A study to find ways and means of improving Farmvilles downtown business district is currently underway by the Farmvi 11 e Planning Board.

According to Dr. John Mew-bom, long-time chairman of the board, the project has been in progress since 1964 and should be completed by July, 1966.

In connection with this study, said Dr. Mewbom, a questionnaire survey was conducted among the merchants and various business firms and opinions obtained as to their recommendations about our most pressing needs, he said.

Dr. Mewbom said the survey revealed that the biggest need is for additional convenient parking for potential customers.

undertaking, citing parking facilities developed by such firms as The Turnage Co., the Bank of Farmville, the Farmvi 11 e Furniture Co., and the newly-I opened First National Bank of Eastern North Carolina.

Thus, we are considering a program of improving store fronts, which will possibly include a uniform awning of equal height and size.

The Planning Board wi 11 strongly urge and, in fact, require future developers of business properties to provide some off-street parking for their potential customers, he declared.

Dr. Mewbom said the board is also considering a [M'oject to improve the downtown lighting system and the feasibility of moving utilities services equipment underground.

This was found to be the number one need for the continued growth and expansion of our downtown area, the Planning Board Chairman said.

As a result of the survey, Dr. Mewbom explained, the Planning Board has already begun taking steps toward improvement of the business area.

The board is trying to get business firms to provide all the available off-street parking possible, he said.

He pointed to what he termed marked improvement in tie towns parking situation as a result of the Planning Boards

John Simpson came to the area from Massachusetts when he was a young man. He settled six miles below present Greenville and called his seat Chatham.

Dr. Mewbom is now is his 21st year as chairman of the Planning Board. The organization was founded in 1945 and re-o r g a nized in 1962, when Farmvilles industrial development began to boom.

Since re-organixation, the tasks of the Planning Board have become more clearly defined in terms of devising means to cope with the influx of new residents and the increasing momentum of the towns development.

While the board has developed ordinances to provide control for the new subdivisions evolving from the need for housing, the business district has become an area of particular concern for the organization, because of the necessity of the business district to keep pace with the growth of the rest of the town.

Dr. Mewbom said in addition to the general study centered around improvement of the business district, a number of smaller projects are also being considered.

We want to try to improve the general appearance of the area, the Chairman said.

He pointed out that the Planning Board, while considering the general improvement of the business district, is working in close cooperation with the Farmville Chamber of Commerce and Merchants Association and the towns beautification committee.

The Planning Board has tried to create a fertile attituoe among the citizenry, he declared.

G& WBoats Added

Another Plant Here

Naturally progress means more income and better changes of an increase in the volume of our sales, comments Don White, part-owner and presU dent of Grady-White Boats, Inc. of Greenville.

In July of this past year, G. and W. Boats added another plant to their present business. Designed to manufacture fiber glass boats, the plant is located at the site of the old Union Carbide plant on 14th Street. Marlin Boat Works, as the new plant is named, has now come under the sole management of G. and W. Boats, Inc.

G. and W. Boats is a manufacturing distributor of the G. and W. Boat Line. The company serves a business area which includes all of the United States and some foreign exports to European markets.

The company boasts highest standards of ethics and good hiisiness practice. It offers expert and friendly advice in the purchase of one of its many types of boats.

The Grady-Whlte Boat Company was founded by its present owners, Don White and Glenn Grady, in 1959. It now employes 120 to 200 people in the old plant and 30 people in the new addition.

Officers of tiie conipauy are

Don White, president; Glenn Grady, vice-president; Corinne Grady, secretary; and Enid White, treasurer.

White is a native of Vance-boro and attended Vanceboro High School. Upon graduation, he entered East Carolina College and later entered the University of Florida.

White is a member of the Vanceboro Rotary Club and the Greenville Masons and Shrin-ers Club.

He is married to Enid Pette-way White of Jacksonville and the father of three children.

White operated a hardware store in Vanceboro for over ten years before establishing the busine.ss here in Greenville.

Eastern North Carolina will grow if we dont get an over abundance of union activities in the area, says White.

Our own progress is such that we are very proud of be-' ing in this area.

FARMVILLE - The Farm-jville Junior Womans Club be-jUeves in variety.

I According to Mrs. Charles I Carr, President, the 21-member 'organization sponsors a kinder-jgarten and nursery in Farm-;ville and supports the Caswell Training School in Kinston and I the Childrens Home in Greensboro, as well as other commu-inity projects.

The kindergarten and nursery, located near the Farmville Utilities Power plant complex, is called the Little Red School.

I The facility has been in op-jeration for a number of years, and employs two full-time teachers.

We dont make any money from the tuition charged, said Mrs. Carr. The money is put back into the operation of the school.

The Junior Womans Club was founded in 1931 with 20 members. The organization is a mem-:ber of the North Carolina Fed-jeration of Womens Gubs. i The principal yearly project of the Farmville Club is the 'Annual Autumn (Parity Ball.

I The affair was held in Octo-m jber, 1965 at the Greenville Golf and Country Club. Proceeds I were delegated to Caswell Training School and the Childrens Home.

The club also had charge of Farmville 1964 Heart Fund Drive and the drive to fill the community Gothing Closet.

We collected good, old clothing, said Mrs. Carr, for times when we might find people who are needy.

The Farmville organization has been gradually growing in size, Mrs. Carr explained, and

The fSll of 1965 proved to be a bonanza for football in Pitt CJounty.

Of the five teams which had a history of football, all turn-, ed in winning records, with Ayden topping them all.

The Tornadoes, possibly one of the staters finest Gass A teams in a number of years, won their conference title handily, routing the other two teams in the Coastal loop.

Then they added eight more overwhelming victories to their credit, most of them against 2-A opponents.

They topped this off with a pair of victories in the district playoffs, including a 40-21 victory over Weldon for the district championship.

The victory here kept the Gass A championship in Pitt County for the second straight year. In 1964, Farmville captured the crown with a 21-0 victory over Weldon. In the previous year, Farmville had gone to the district finals before losing.

But this was Aydens year to howl, and one of their victims was their arch-rival Farmville.

The Red Devils, however, were no longer concerned with the Class A championship, having moved up to 2-A competition in the Eastern Plains Conference. They were not eligible for the loop title, however, because not enough games were scheduled with conference teams.

But the Red Devils put together a fine year, losing only to Ayden, and putting up t h e finest showing of any team in the conference. For a while, it was rumored that the confer-ence might choose Farmville I to represent it, because of their stellar record, but Farmville (Stopped this, by saying if they ! werent able to win right, theyd rather stay home.

Another Pitt County team stayed in their conference race right up till the close of the season.

Grifton, a member of the

Gass-A Tobacco Belt conference got off to a big start and was the only team which had a chance to stop Belhavens rush to the crown. But by the time that game rolled around, the Bjydldog line had been crippled by injuries, and the bench didnt have the strength to take it.

Grifton still ended up with a winning record, and showed that it must be a contender in fu

ture years, since the club is a I young one.

I Eppes High School also post-led a winning season. Although I the Bulldogs had some bad moments, they countered these with good ones, and finished all even at 5-5.

Sugg High of Farmville was in their conference race right idown to the wire, and was on-ily edged out by Windsor for I the conference crown.

In the meantime. South Ay den High School fielded its gridiron team and went on to win several of its games and show they were going to try and build a powerhouse such as the town is used to.

All-in-all, it proved to be a banner year, coupled with Rose High Schools winning season, the county probably posted one of the best overall records of any county in the state.

The next two weeks proved to be the payoff. Strong Wasn-ington fell to the Phants, 28-7, and the next week, previously undefeated Tarboro went down 20-0 in a hard-fought conteat.

Tbtt pteture ol tfaa tobacco

crop in Pitt County during 1965 was one of paradci. While new control program and excessive rains held down the yitd, the crop was sold on the market firom |7 to $8 per hundred higher than in 1961

Spent $40 For Seeding Campus

Ib 1916 it was figured that the cost of planting grass seed on the Training School c a m p us would cost about $40. The planting area was 136,795 feet or 5 acres plus.

The pounds of seed needed was figured to be about ISO pounds.

But while the crop was bringing in more money per pound, farmers received more than $8,500,000 for the 1965 crop.

Farmers had a banner year for tobacco in 1965, as far as production. For Pitts 22,370 acres, the average yield was 2,481 pounds per acre. In 1965, ts 3deld was off 648 pounds to 1333 pounds per acre.

Pitt farmers produced tobacco 00 21,352 acres.

The real story comes with the amount of tobacco sold, which totaled nearly 18,500,000 pounds less in 1965. The year before, Pitt farmers marketed 55,499,970 pounds of tobacco. During the past season, only 37,030,672 pomids were placed on the warehouse floors.

Excessive rains caused the decrease in yield, producing a lighter tobacco than had prevailed the year before. But if this was not aiough, the county suff^ed a cut of 1,000 acres in the crop allotment, as the a(^age was cut five per cent with the new acreage-poundage control program. Instead of the 22,370 acres harvested in 1964,

Even with the excellent sales throughout the marketing season, tobacco growers stUl suffered a tremendous loss. Instead of the $32,062,333 that the crop brought in 1964, farmers received $23,421,900.

There is still one bri^t spot of the year for tobacco though. While excessive rains reduced

the acreage yield, it also produced a light thin tobacco that appeals to tobacco buyers and it was evident from the start of the season that there would be little tobacco going to the Stabilization Corporation

cent of the sales as compared to nearly 30 per cent from 1964.

Across the five tobacco belts, the Stabilization Corporat i 0 n sold twice as much tobacco from its surplus stock during the year than it received from the 1965 crop. This was one ol the few years in the,, history of price supports that this had happened.

Nearly every market on the Eastern Belt averaged $60 per hundred or better for the season and Stabilization deliveries totaled little more than six per

But with the good and bad of 1965, tobacco farmers are looking toward the 1966 season which is just beginning with the plant beds. Tobacco experts are predicting another banner year, with the ideld approaching again the record yield of 1964 and they are al^ predicting another good year in sales.

The Pitt County WUdlifc Qub. formed October 1, 1964, has made great strides forward during the past 12 months,.

The clubs purpose, as described by its president William S. Goodson, is to conserve and develop Pitt Countys ^vildlife and natural resources. . .and to cooperate with ttie state and federal government in the same program.

With a membershio of 284 the club has launched a building program on a tract of land on rural road 1400 between Falkland and Belvoir, off N. C. 43.

A club house is over half finished on the clubs own 60 acre tract of land, which adjoins the Wildlife Commissions river access area at the Tar River Bridge there.

And in addition to the clubs own land, plans call for the club to gain control of a total of 10,000 acres in the immediate area.

Activities of the club are concentrated in the area of the clubs land holdings, where a shooting range, an archery range and about a mile of river frontage for fishing are already available.

Future plans call for stocking of several ponds near the river and construction of other gunning ranges, as well as experimenting with migratory birds on the Wildlife Clubs preserve.

The club also plans a positive program of work with Boy and Explorer Scouts and the 4-H Clubs of Pitt County.

Goodson explained that another facet of the club in addition to its conservation and development program is educating our sportsmen in safety in both water and field sports.

Membership in the group is open to persons 21 years of age, in good standing in the community, with a positive interest in conservation and development

and hunting and fishing.

The wife and children come with the fathers membership Goodson pointed out, adding that women are welcome at the meetings.

Programs tentatively planned for womn at the club site will include horseback riding, archery and shooting.

Plans also call for nature

trails on the clubs holdings, witli

Boy Scoute and 4-H groups labeling the various trees in |he area that would be of int^est to those participatii^ in botany or biology.

In addition to Goodson, other officers of the club include vice-president Dr. Ray Minges, sec' retary Mitchell Wootoi and treasurer J. . Ganis. ~

PITT WILDLIFE CLUBS home on its 60-ecre holding near Falkland will be completed.

FARMVILLE The Fai ni-yille Economic Council works for the future.

The idea of bringing in these plants is to help the young people here to find employment, so they wont have to move to another area, said Ed Davenport, president of the 10-year-old Economic Council.

Farmville is now the nucleus for six industries. North State Garment, Collins and Aikman, FCX, Formica, A. C. Monk Tobacco Co. and Valor Manufacturing Co.

The major portion of the six bave been established in the Ig'ca for some time.

Valor Manufacturing Co. has Just set up shop within the last year.

What we have done is sym

bolic of what were wo r king for, said Davenport. The people are getting a vision of the direction in which the Far m-ville Economic Council is moving.

The towns spirit has been a decisive motivating factor, Davenport explained.

Recently, he advised, Several of the industries held open houses for the public, and conducted tours, explaining their operations.

Davenport said the industrial organizations were impressed with the townspeoples more than passing interest, in the ! workings of the plants.

The people who held these events, the Economic Council President said, were pleased with the peoples spirit, interest and attitude.

He pointed to spirit as one of the reasons for the location of some industries in Farmville.

They tell us that that is what sets us apart, Davenport said. People from outside, who have compared Farmville with other places say that is the first thing they notice a community spirit of accomplishment.

Davenport praised Farmvilles Industries, for their contributions to the community.

We in Farmville are very appreciative of the type of people who have come into the community and the contributions they have made, he declared Key personnel who have come into Farmville have demonstrar-ed a great deal of leadership, in dicative of the industries the represent

Ayden Guided By A Growth Plan

AYDENThe Ayden Planning Board is geared for progress.

; We believe we have the machinery to help Aydens grow-jth, said Tom V. Wheless, local jeweler and Chairman of the Planning Board.

' The machinery consists of jfour committees: Beautifica

tion, Public Relations, Industrial Development and Rental Housing. The committees memberships are determined by appointment of the town government, but the committees themselves, according to Wheless, function under the auspices of the Planning Board.

The Board Chairman said the Beautification Committee is concerned with improving the general appearance of the town.

He said the group has been, engaged in several beautifica-j tion projects during the fall and; winter months. i

When Spring comes around, he declared, We hope to see some visual results of the work of our committee. ,

Ten Taken As Union Hostages

When Greenville was occupied by Union Forces for a brief spell in October, 1862, ten local citizens were taken to Washington, N.C., as hostages. They were: J.S. Dancy, Hodges, Hoell, Tyce, Cobb, B. Albritton, R. Greene, \llen Tyce, James Forbes, and William Stocks. They were reeased in a few days and returned to Greeoviltek

lations Ck)mmittee, Wheless pointed out, is aimed at building the image of Ayden, through advertising, promoting the town as a progressive community at tractive for industrial or residential development.

The committee has gotten up a brochure which points up the various advantages to be found in Ayden, Wheless said. And they are working very closely with Dr. Sylvester Green and the Pitt ciounty Development Commission.

The Planning Board Chairman said a survey conducted about a year ago pointed up the pressing need for the development of rental housing in Ayden. Thus, the Boards rental housing committee was created.

The committee concentrates its efforts towards assisting anyone who is interested in building or remodeling rental housing, he explained, and to work with newcomers to help them find a house to rent or just to help them in any way possible.

According to Wheless, the Industrial Development Committee was formed to promote Ayden as a potential site for industry.

The committee works with prospective industry to assist them in any way in order to secme industry for Ayden, he explained.

Wheless pointed out that the Planning Boards principal Dio-ject was the development of a Growth Plan, in cooperation with the City Planning Division of the North Carolina Department of Coservation and Development.

The plai^ which

zoning and other areas, is the product of a study which began in April of 1963. and completed in November, 1965.

We feel with this plan and the support of the people, Ayden will develop uniformly and effectively, he declared.

Aydens Ministers

See Cooperation

AYDENWe have good cooperation between the denominations.

So said Rev. Ralph Messick, President of the Ayden Ministerial Association, describ i n g the work of the organization.

While the six-member Ministerial Association fosters programs of community benefit among themselves, the group also joins with other groups to sponsor programs. Rev. Messick said.

This year, he advised, We sponsored, along with the youth of Ayden, a community-wide revival.

The program, according to the Association President, featured Evangelist Kemp Edwards, an Ayden native, and ran from Oct. 31 through Nov. 4, 1965.

It worked out real well, he explained. We had a good meeting.

The Ministerial Association also joined with Ayden Communi

ty Services during Christmas to sponsor a Christmas Basket program for the underprivileged.

I would say we served between 70 and 90 families, Rev. Messick declared.

As far as the Association's individual programs are concerned, the minister pointed out that the group sponsored Thanksgiving and Holy Week services for the community.

fo addition, he said, The Ministerial Association was asked to offer prayer at the home football games of Ayden High School. We undertook that program and received a lot of favorable comment.

The Ministerial Association also conducts a program of providing hospital beds and wheel chairs for the disabled.

The Ministerial Association owns some hospital beds and a wheel chair which are kept available free of charge for those who are in need of such equipment, he said.

Greenville Parts & Metal

Provides Many Services

We look forward to the coming of new industrv to Greenville as producers of scrap are always welcome by us, comments Nicolas Simonowich, vice president and manager of Greenville Parts and Metal Company, Inc.

Another welcomed source of scrap metal is the increasing number of cars that are driven in Greenville everyday.

As a wholesale and retail buyer of scrap and a broker of smaller scrap yards, Greenville Parts and Metal Company, was founded in 1929 by Sam Flemming.

The business, located on | North Greene Street, employs, approximately 18 people.

Officers of the company are: j S. G. Knott, president; Nicholas Simonowich, vice-president and manager; and Paul Knott, treasurer.

Greenville is a growing city. In December of 1955 the city included some five and one-half square miles of land. Nine years late in December 1964, the area had grown to eight and one-half square miles.

Today the city includes 10.93 square miles--a 98.72 per cent increase in size in the past 10 years.

And with this growth, which included the addition of 1,553.5 acres (2.47 square miles) through annexation during 1965 comes a growth in the citys system of streets.

December 1964 saw the city with 115.63 miles of streets, including 91.40 miles of paved thoroughfares and 24.23 miles of unsurfaced roadways.

Today there are 102.77 miles of paved roadway and 26.87 miles of dirt streets in the city. In all 14.01 miles of roads were added to the city during 1965 . . . and all but 2.64 miles of it paved.

Since July 1, 1964, some 27 streets or portions of streets have been added or opened and paved.

An additional unpaved 21 streets have been added or opened in the city.

Streets to be opened , added to and-or paved since mid-1964 include: Kennedy Circle, Norcott Circle, Skinner, Bradley and Pine Streets, Arlington Drive, Cherokee Drive, Calvin Way, Millbrook Street, Aztec Lane, Shawnee Place, Webbe Street, Kirkland Drive, Able Street, Newton Drive, Moore Street, Eiellwood, Aze-lea.

Several portions of Evans Street were reworked and widened, including a portion at the Sheppard Memorial Library as was a section of Hiird Street in front of the recently completed Pitt County Court House.

The Village Grove project included the installation of storm drainage, curb and gut-

Local Firemen Are Well-Equipped

The modem day firemen, wearing heavy protective clothing, helmet, and self-contained breathing equipm e n t complete with face mask and oxygen tank looks more like a man from outer space than he does a firefighter of the past.

And just as todays as t r o-nauts are better equipped to fly than were the Wright Brothers, Greenville firemen today are better able to enter bura-mg buildings and strike a death blow at the heart of a fire from within than were the firemen of yesteryear.

In old Greenville when the call of fire rang out, Rough and Ready volunteers would grab their buckets and ladder and run to the scene of the fire. And speed was important, for if the bucket brigade failed to arrive before the fire grew too large, the building would be lost.

Then in 1916 the city purchased its first fire truck to replace an old horse-drawn steamer.

Since those early times, the fire engines have become more streamlined and efficient and the men better equipped and trained.

Former Fountain School Now Used

As Branch Of Technical Institute

Faimville Clid) Stresses Youth

FOUNTAIN Once abandoned due to ccmsolidation, the old Fountain High School building here now hums with activity. Since November, 1964, the building has hous^ a branch of the Pitt Tecnhical Institute, established under the provisions of the Manpower Development Training Act of 1962, enacted during the administration of President Kennedy.

According to Thomas E. Um-phlett, Coordinator of the branchs program. Fountain was selected as site for the facility because of the available building and grounds.

The facilities' here give us room to conduct large-scale projects, he said.

In the beginning, the Fountain branch offered courses in four areas, including plumbing, sheet metal, carpentry and electrical work. This year, Um-phlett said, the institute has maugurated a course in painting and wallpapering.

The Fountain program began with 66 students. The enroll-ZZ ttient now numbers 100.

wbose education' is limited, UmpMett' said, those who didnt graduate from high school.

The school is operated solely on federal funds. Additionally, students receive compensation to. help defray living and personal expenses during the nine-month duration of their schooling. Payments to the students also come from^ the Federal Government.

Should the student not be declared head of the household, but the head of the household is unemployed, then he still receives the regular $24 per week compensation, Umphlett advised.

If a student is married and head of the household, Umphlett explained, he receives $24 per week plus $5 per day for each dependent up to six.

The money is not enough for a man to live off of, the Coordinator said. But, it will tide him over until he finishes here and gets a job.

Umphlett pointed out that the cost of training an individual for the nine - month period, amounts to about $2,100.

I have figured, however, that the man will eventually pay

back in taxes what the government has invested in his training, he said.

Of the current enrollment, Umphlett said the ages range from 17 to 60 years. They come from as far away as Roanoke Rapids, and Hyde County and commute daily. Sixteen of the students live on the campus in mobile homes.

This is helping North Carolina as much as anything I know of, Umphlett declared. Industry is looking for trained people, and to some extent, we are helping them in this field.

**This program is designed to help people who are unem-^oyiKl or underemployedwork-bg less than 40 hours per week, the Coordinatt* said.

In addition to offering the eourses in particular trades, the Fountain branch also provides courses at the primary, elementary and high school level. **niis is designed to help those

Truck Rentals Firm To Expand

**We are very pleased to of-. ler service to the people of ' Greenville and the surrounding area, comments Vince Howell, president of Tarheel Truck Rentals, Inc. of Greenville.

We can give trucks to the people whenever they are need-d.

Howell went on to say that the company plans to initiate a full-fledged automobile rental aervice on economy budgets.

Tarheel Truck Rentals, Inc., employs four persons and is located at 305 Alport Road.

TTie corporation offers truck] rental service and regular garage service as well as the sale of new and used automobiles.

The rental service was established in 1958 as a corporation j and now has branches In Kin-' ston and Wilson.

Howell is a native of Waynes-vllle where he attended Waynes-lUe High School. He later went to North Carolina State University at Raleigh.

In 1947, Howell came to Greenville with the Air Force Recruiting service. After service, he went into the finance business and worked up until this past year with Atlantic Discount Company.

FARMVILLE - With the Farmville Rotary Club, the emphasis is ui^n youth.

The organization, Farmvilles oldest civic club, sponsors and supports Boy Scout Troop 24, a college scholarship fund, and contributes support to the Boys Home at Lake Waccamaw.

Each year, said Carl Venters Jr., president of the local club, We also sponsor a public speaking contest in the high school.

The president said the contest is available to those students who wish to enter, and subjects for speeches are drawn from The Rotarian, Rotary Internationals magazine.

As far as the Boy Scouts are concerned. Venters said, the Rotary club furnishes the Troop with a meeting place as well as other support.

with the department is chief of a department which includes three stations, six first-line pieces of firefighting eq u i p-ment and 27 full-time paid firemen. In addition the department maintains a 34-man volunteer department and has two outdated pumpers which it maintains on a stand-by basis.

One of the main reasons for the efficiency of tiie department has been the continuing training program including both classroom instruction asd practice at the departments drill tower, constructed in 1942 and paid for largely by a $5,000 donation by Mr. and Mrs. M. 0. Minges. And when possible, firemen set fire to condemned dwellings and gain practice on actual fires.

Chief Jones explained that some of the best training is acquired during a controlled training fire. The blaze gives firemen an opportunity to put into practice what they have been schooled on in the classroom under actual fire conditions.

As opposed to the old-time firemen who would stand In the street and flood a structure with water, where possible modem day firefighter a 11 e m p t s to gain entrance to the building and put water (in the form of fog which rapidly turns to steam in the super heated air, thus driving out the hot gases and putting out the fire) directly on the fire.

And to aid in the departments efficiency a new fire alarm control console was installed at the central fire station this past year.

The new control panel replaced an out-dated alarm control panel installed when the present central station was constructed in 1939.

However anything would be an improvement over the word-or-mouth fire alarm and the bell that was later used to summon the towns bucket brigade volunteers.

The future will see great changes in the departm e n t. Clhief Jones forsees the establishment of a full-paid department in the not too dis t a n t futureand more trucks, to mention just two.

With a full paid complement of firefighters the whistle, which calls volunteers to the fire scene would be silenced.

But somehow, the whis tie

Bems to be more than just a call to a fire. The whistle sounds more like a tributea reminderto remember the work and

valor of the firemen. And R IMBi of encouragement to someona whose home is in nerilsaying hope is on the Wiy*_

Planters National Bank Sees

Steady Growth Through Year

At the end of December, 1965, we had five and a half times the resources than at the end of the first year of operation, commented Frank Little, manager of the Greenvi 11 e branch of the Planters National Bank and Trust Company.

This has resulted from the need of additional banking institutions and the rapid growth of the general economy of Greenville and surrounding areas. We feel that the growth of East Carolina College, the addition of several manufacturing facilities and the continued stability of tobacco marketing has created a healthy growth in Pitt County, Little continued.

The Greenville branch of the Planters National Bank was opened here in 1960 with Little as the vice-president and local manager.

The organization was orignal-ly founded Id Hocky Mount in 1899 with J. C. Braswell as its first president. Todays president is Archie W. Nelson.

The banking firm today has i Ruby Kittrell of Greenville and a total capital and assets of 4s the

PROGRESS Needs PROTECTION!

Insurance is often taken for granted and progress would be practically impossible if it couldn't be protected.

Protection against the unexpected whatever it may be is often a bulwark against bankruptcy or financial loss that can never be regained. Greenville is building . . . everyone will agree to that. We can tell that our city and county are growing because more and more people come to us every day for insurance protection for something they've built or bought.

Farmville's Kiwanians Assist Young People

FARMVILLE ~ Our main project is boys and girls.

So said Farmville Kiwanis Club President Andy Martin, assessing the organizations civic interest.

We assist, each year, he explained, Four young people in going to college through a loan fund.

The money for the scholarship project, the Kiwanis president said, is derived from the operation of a carnival, which Is held each year in the high school gymnasium.

Martin said the affair consists of various games and other activities, and is designed to provide enough money to award a $400 scholarship to each of the four selected students.

Upon graduation, t b e recipients pay back the $400, in order to replenish the fund for the use of other students.

In addition to that project, we also give a $50 grant to a student at H. B. Sugg High School, he said.

The Farmville Kiwanis Club, the president said, has increased in membership from 37 In 1965 to its current 43.

Martin, Qerk of the Muncipal Court and Assistant Town Treasurer, said the Club plans to continue its current projects, and will take others as they are presented.

We have a brunswick stew supper each year, Martin said, to raise money for general projects.

The general projects include such activities as the purchase of rain coats for the winter use of the school safety patrol.

And, if we hear of a child needing money for school lunch, or a child in dire need of something, Martin said, if we can assist, we do.

for the purpose of promoting activities in the high school but also set up scholarships totaling $300.

Tbe Jaycee president pointed out that the scholarships were for study at the college of the recipients choice, and said the establishment of the program was the result of the excellent participation of tbe Boosters 124 members.

While the 28 members of the Junior Chamber of Commerce conduct various money-making and community projects, long-range project is the establishment of a Civic Center for tbe town.

According to Bullock, tbe problem is money, but with completion of each fund-raising program conducted by the organization, a portion of the receipts are tucked away for the Civic Center.

AYDEN - The growth of Ayden means an increase of responsibilities for Ayden Police Chief James L. Ross and his force.

We arc in the process of recruiting an auxiliary police force, said Ross, surveying the manpower situation. Iliese men will be used to handle unusual or emergency situations.

The regular force, Ross said, now consists of six full-time officers and one part time.

We are hoping to add another officer by July, the Chief advised.

Ross pointed out that the largest number of law violations stem from traffic infractions and public drunkenness. He said breaking and entering poses no great problem, but an increase in the police forces numbers would help to keep such offenses at a minimum.

A native of Pitt County and a veteran of World War II, Ross was appointed Chief of Police in July. He replaced Chief William D. Brooks, who resigned to become Chief of Police in Sanford. Ross is a veteran of 10 years on the Ayden Police force. He is a former Pitt County ABC Officer.

The new Police Chief said as many men as possible will be sent to the various Law Enforcement schools in the vicinity. Some, he explained, are graduates of police schools in Greenville, at East Carolina College and Williamston.

Most of our officers have had special police training, he advised. We are planning to send two other officers to school this year.

The trained officers will have much to do when the recruitment of officers for the auxiliary police force is completed.

We will try to recruit at least 10 men, Ross said, And they will be given police training .. . we hope about two hours per week of on-the-job training.

Ross explained that one of the goals of his program for the coming year is to work on safety in Ayden.

We want to work on safety at several particular points in the town, he declared, such as putting up stop signs for yield signs at places where there is a frequency of accidents.

Funds Of Powell Bill Important To Farmville

FARMVILLEStreet improvement projects here arc expected to continue at the same pace despite a slight increase in Farmvilles share of State Powell Bill Funds.

I dont imagine that well have any more street improvements this year than we did last year, said Carl Beamon, town clerk.

The towns 1964-65 share amounted to $18,966.95. Beamon said the figure was increased to $19,568,95 for the 1965-66 year.

The figure for last year was based upon Farmvilles 20.48 miles of streets, 11.84 paved.

The new amount Beamon advised, is based upon 21.21 miles of streets, 12.18 of which were paved.

The Powell Bill funds are restricted by State Law, which require that the money be used for street improvements or related projects.

The funds are derived from gasoline taxes and pro-rated to municipalities on the basis of population and town-owned street mileage.

Beamon said that a number of paving projects will be conducted during the current year, primarily because of construction of new subdivisions within the town limits.

He pointed out that the towns share of the Powell Bill funds does not bear the sole burden of paying for paving projects. The town pays one-third, he explained, while property owners pay the other two thirds.

Beamon said because of the influx of new residents brought by industry, the prospects of new subdivisions are good. He said new subdivisions would call for stepped-up emphasis on street projects.

We do have a need for new homes, he explained, and it is probable that new subdivisions will be forthcoming.

area.

We serve a little bit of Wilson and Edgecombe Counties and the Fountain township, said Peele.

A member of the Fountain Rural and City Fire Department since 1956, Peele was appointed to serve as Fire Chief last month, filling the vacancy created by the death of veteran Chief, V. E. Baker, who died In October. Baker had served as Chief, intermittently, for about 20 years.

The Fire Department operates two fully equipped trucks, which are housed in the Municipal Building. One of the vehicles belongs to the town of Fountain, and is used solely for town calls, while the other, owned by the Fountain Rural Fire Association, is utilized for the out-of-town calls. The town truck is a 500 gallon capacity pumper, while the other is of 1,000 gallon capacity.

In addition to the two trucks, Peele said, the Fire Department has recently acquired a

1,000 gallon water wagon a tank truckwhich be used to fight fires out of town, reducing the chances of running out of water and having to return to town while fighting a fire.

With his recently - appointed Assistant Chief, Donald Johnson, Peele conducts fire training drills twice each month.

We meet every first and third Monday nights, he explained. If it is cold, we stay inside and take our practice inside with the trucks, working out any problems. But, if it is warm enough, we go out and shoot a little water.

Peele said the Fire Department will add no new equipment in the future, except for replacement of the present apparatus.

He pointed out however, that he would like to add two more men to his force shortly.

So far as I can see, we have all we need, he said. But I do want to find two men so Ill have an even two dozen.

sanctuary in 1958 with a building prc^am involving in excess of 1400,000.

With so many denominations moving their place of worship to the residential sectioois, some might have wondered why Jarvis Memorial retained its downtown location. Their plans call for a full seven day a week program including a noon-time worship service every week-day for all the business people to seek respite from their business rush and find spiritual renewal.

Jarvis Memorial has 1,462 members served by a pastor, Dr. E. B. Fisher, and a Director of Christian Education, Miss Diana Harrison, two secretaries, and a janitorial staff of three. The sanctuary seats nine hundred and is air conditioned. Alongside the sanctuary there is a modem educational plant, two stories and a basement extending from Greene Street to Washington Street

Jarvis Memorial is one of the leading Methodist Churches in the state. The budget this year is just a little under $100,000. Many of the laymen serve important roles on Conference committees. Jarvis Memorial conceived, planned, sponsored, CO n t r i b u t e d financially, -and membersh ipwise in the creation of Saint James Methodist Church.

Methodism in Greenville did not expand much until 1878 when Reverend L. L. Nash arrived to serve Greenville circuit. He found St. Pauls in a struggling, liquor ridden town. Nash, too, commented on the lack of men in the membership. The church building had become dilapidated, and there was no parsonage for the young preachers familyhe was displeased with being provided rooms in the towns hotel for his young wife and little babies.

Much is known of this period because Dr. Nash wrote a book about his ministry with a chapter on Saint Pauls. S u f fice it to say, Nash led the congregation into buying a lot on the southeast corner of Second and Greene Streets. On this lot a parsonage and a new church were built.

The new St. Pauls was a wooden structure one hundred feet long and fifty feet wide. Nash had added many new members. An added impetus to the now growing church was the holding of District Conference (Washington District) at St. Pauls. The coming of Bishop W. M. Wightman to preside at the District Conference was an important occasion. Next, Nash led the Greenville people to buy six acres of land to establish a District sponso red

But building due to post-war contingencies did not get under way until the pastorate of Leon Russell who came in 1949 and stayed for five years.

OREENVIUFS POLICE DEPARTMENT ... is not staffad antirely with men. Shown bova ara thraa of tha 11 policewoman, left to right, Mrs. Daila Stubbs, Mrs. Lawrence Jadnon and Mrs. Juanita McCarthy.

Greenvilles Police Department is not staffed entirely by menthere are 10 women also in the department.

The women, as well as the men, are sworn in and have full power of arrest. Tliey are on 24 hour call duty, subject to call if they are needed.

There are five full-time policewomen, five who work part time as school crossing guards and an assistant in the records department.

During working hours, 8 a. m. until 5 p. m., they wear white uniform shirts, navy skirts and coats. The school guards wear light blue and navy.

In addition to regular duties, they occasionally assist in typing warrants, filling out arrest sheets, searching female de-fendents and filing.

Special training is not required in order to qualify as a policewoman. However, c e rtain requirements are m a i ntained which include being a hi g h school graduate and a person has to be 21 years of age before she can be a sworn officer.

The local policewomen do attend special classes and courses

including first aid, search and seizure, laws of arrest, judo, public relations and narcotics.

Policewomen of the local ie-partment are: Mrs. Lawrencie Jackson, records clerk; Mrs. Judy Sutton, who assists in records; Mrs. Juanita McCarthy, secretary; Mrs. Della Stubbs, traffic clerk;

Mrs. Mary Blank and Mrs. Thelma Dove, parking meters and school crossings; Mrs. Lillian Harris; Mrs. Mary Burroughs; Mrs. Lillie Mae Cobb; Mrs. Shirley Bell; and Mrs. Adail Barrett, school crossing guards.

Commenting on being a policewoman, Mrs. Jackson stated, I have worked from school guard and radio dispatcher on up to records clerk and it has been very interesting all the way. I have enjoyed every minute of it.

Instead of selecting this type of job, 1 think it selected me,

I was asked to work at school crossings through the school PTA because I enjoyed children. I accepted the job and when there was an opening to work full time, I applied and was accepted, continued Mrs. Jack

son.

Traffic clerk, Mrs. Stubbs, noted. Of course I thoroughly enjoy my work and a lot of pleasure comes from meeting the public.

T find that the public is just as nice as you will allow them to be. The relationship between an officer and the public is usually set by the officerthe officer sets the pace and the public will follow. Very rarely indeed do you find anyone that wants to act in an uncomplimentary way. An officer should always deal with them as just another person and should never have ap arrogant attitude.

1 guess, perhaps, since my husband, Clyde, who is a lieutenant in the detective division, had been in this type work for eight years, it afforded an interest in law enforcement even before I started working here, she concluded.

Clark Funeral Home Has Progressed With City

After Brig. Gen. Junius Daniel was mortally wounded on May 12, 1864, Colonel Bryan Grimes took over his command. Grimes became a Brig. General on June 5th.

Clark Funeral Home was established in 1941 as the E11-wanger Funeral Home by its original founder, A. A. Ellwan-ger. In 1944, it was purchased I by its present owner, Marshall F. Clark.

According to Clark, the medical and educational facilities of the area had a great deal to do with the success of his progress.

Clark Funeral Home serves Greenville and the surrounding area with funeral and ambulance services. The business is locatecT at 1206 Dickinson Avenue and employs seven people.

In 1961, another branch of Clarks Funeral Home was opened. This business is located in Maysville and is managed by Genievere Miller Clark.

Clark is a graduate of Rose Hill High School and MCI Institute of the Marine Corp. He is originally from Scotland Coun

ty.

Before coming to GreemiUe, he was associated with th^ Quinn Funeral Home in Jacksonville.

He is married to Genieveri Miller Clark.

Mrs. Clark is originally fronr New Bern where she attend ed New Bern School. Upon graduation, she entered Chowan College. Mrs. Clark also at* tended Queens College and Fredericksburg College. She is a graduate of the Gupton Jones College of Mortuary Science of Nashville, Tennessee.

On Sept. 25, 171^, a select committee of Secrecy, Intelligence and Observation was appointed. On it were: John Simpson, Arthur Forbes, Will i a m Robeson, George Evans, Simon Pope, Robert Salter and Thomas Wolfender.

The organization also works towards securing sites for industrial purposes, and at present, has locations ranging from three to 95 acres listed with the Pitt Development Corporation for reference by industry.

We recently negotiated for the sale of one of the sites to the Free Will Baptist Press, Stroud advised.

One of Aydens oldest industries, the Free Will Baptist Press will construct a new printing plant on the site, which is located on Highway 11 north of Ayden. The building program is expected to begin in the Spring.

Methodist Church is this year celebrating its 151st year as an organiz church. History actually dates back many years before the organization.

There arc records of a church in existance as far back as 1729, but no evidence that it was a Methodist Church has been discovered.

Bethel Methodists believe that their church is an ouL growth of the 1729 church.

Records do show that a Methodist church was in existence in 1849. In the year 1877, another church was erected whose structure is now used as the AME Zior Church

In 1910, a new structure for the Bethel Methodists was occupied, this one on Washington Street. The Washington Street church was soon out^own and in 1922, the present structure was erected.

BETHEL - Bethel, a town of little over 1,500 persons, was settled around the middle to late 1700s on the site of a small Indian village by people who reportedly migrated here from the Gold Point area in Martin County.

Andrews, Whitfield, and Ca-terhead families owned the tracts of land upon which the town was settled.

Bethels main street was established when the road from Greenville to Halifax was laid. The road became known as Main Street. At that time Halifax was the North Carolina capital.

About the same time another road was built from Tarboro and passed east west through Bethel.

Near the turn of the century, a church was built in the settlement by Methodists and named Bethel Church. The community surrounding the church and the crossroads subsequently became known as Bethel.

The first store in Bethel was established in 1840 by Oliver Spain. During this time, the Bethel Church was used as a school on week days and as a church on Sunday.

Bethel became more commercialized when in 1848 the Andrews family sold two hundred acres to Mrs. Lucinda Davenport and on this land was erected a hotel. The building now stands on Church Street and was built by Alfred James II who also laid out Main Street and James Street.

Just before the Civil War the village was used as a voting place and a muster area for the militia.

Railroad tracks were first laid through ^^iheHn 1883. The tracks belong to the Atlantic Coast Line Railway today.

Only 170 residents made up Bethel at the time of its incorporation as a town and the number did not grow until the coming of the railroad.

Professor Z. D. McWorter conducted classes in an academy in Bethel until in 1902 by popular vote it became the first town in Pitt County to have a free, public supported grade school.

Bethel has remained primarily agrarian during the 20th century with a trend in recent years for its residents to live in the community and commute to other places to work.

Many of the residents are landowners who live in town and rent farms to tenants. Until recently. Bethel has been a center for raising Irish potatoes.

At one time. Bethel was reported to have ranked second to Farmville as having the highest per capita income in North Carolina.

Products have grown from window shades to tricot fabrics, auto upholstry and carpeting, transportation fabrics for buses, aircraft, etc.; toy plush for fuzzy tigers and teddy bears; pile apparel fabrics; carpeting and incidental rugs and upholstery fabrics for home and business.

The company continues to develop new lines as the market shows trends to new desires.

Farmville has proved to be a most important part of the companys operation from its opening in 1963. When the expansion program which more than doubled the size of the plant was completed last year, a special open house was held on October 3rd attended by more than 4000 guests. 'The following day featured a short address by Governor Dan K. Moore.

Bethel Baptist Church Organized In 1886

THE ORIGINAL STRUCTURE OF THE BETHEL BAPTIST CHURCH . . . ia now the Bethal Panacostal Holinasa Church. The church was destroyed and rebuilt in 1899.

BETHE^i TTie first movement to Establish the Bapt i s t faith and doctrine in Bethels history was instigated in 1886. The final product of that movement is the Bethel Baptist Church.

The first Baptist church to be organized in Bethel was founded in 1887.

From the minutes of the Tar River Association, At Bethel, in Pitt County, a church of 15 members was organized, and a beautiful House of Worship has been completed. The little band is heavily burdened by a debt incurred in the building of this house. ,

Any help extended them will be a benefaction worthily bestowed and well pleasing to God. Twelve persons were baptized.

The church was dedicated on Sunday, November 3, 1887.

The building was erected on the site north of the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad where a Pentecostal Holiness C h u rch now stands.

It was a neat, wooden structure with arched windows, a beautiful spire, and shuttered

windows. In the belfry was suspended a bell.

In addition, the church had a small auditorium, a baptis try and two small classrooms.

The aisle carpet was a strip of cotton bagging used to deaden the sound of the heavy shoes worn in that day.

The small house of wors h i p was heated by a round stove m the center of the auditorium and lighted by kerosene lamps.

Hie church was destroyed by a cyclone in 1899.

Second Church

A second church building was erected by the Bethel Baptists foMowing much the same plans as were used in the first church.

Pews salvaged from the ruins of the first church were used and may still be seen in the balcony of the present Bethel Baptist Church.

The new church grew in interest and in numbers under the ministry of the Rev. J.W. Rose.

Soon the small church was outgrown. A large tent was erected on the lawn to accommodate the mens Bible Qass and classrooms were divided.

The Greenville home is only one of many such facilities constructed and operated by the Community Health Facilities, Inc.

The Baltimore, Maryland, organization of this corporation began in 1957. Its original founders are Richard Rynd, who is president of the business and br. Joseph Francus, vice-president.

It became their aim to make this corporation one where persons of moderate income were enabled to receive the kind of nursing care we all so fairly deserve.

Community Health Facilities, Inc. is a member of the American Nursing Home Association and the Maryland Nursing Home

Association.

Many of the homes have already been accredited by the new National Council for the Accreditation of Nursing H o m es sponsored by the American Medical Association.

Bond is a native of Long Island, New York. He served in the Coast Guard for four years and is a graduate of Gold Beacon College in Wilmington, Delaware.

He then established an insurance business in Wilmington before coming to ECC in 1961 to study pre-med.

Bond was the assistant administrator of the Greenville Nursing and Convalescent Home as of March, 1965, and took over the position of administrator in May 1965.

He is married to the former Sandy Fresco of Pennsylvania, a r e g i stered nurse at Pitt Memorial Hospital. They have five children.

I George Stancil, a graduate of I East Carolina College, and a former member of the science faculty at Ayden High School, assumed the post in September.

We have been progressing along the same lines as last year, said Stancil, evaluating his months as an administrator.

The year, however similar to the previous one in terms of operation, has brought a new project~a self evaluation study! for accreditation with the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools.

The entire county system is conducting this study, the principal said. We havent applied for candidacy yet, but we are getting ready.

Stancil said enrollment at the school is now about five hundred students. With a curriculum covering grades one through seven, the figure is slightly higher than last years which was about 496.

Although enrollment has not

We are anticipating two extra classrooms being added for next year, Stancil said.

He pointed out that no new

educational programs are on tap for the immediate future, but cited the departmentalization of the seventh grade as an innovation.

This allows the teacher to teach in a field in which he or she is more confident, he explained. We feel it gives the student a more specialized Instruction.

Stancil said the school has also been provided with a special speech teacher this year, who works with those students who have speech defects.

Southern Conference Sports Writers Were Right In Estimate Of Buc Eleven

Before the start of the 1965 football season^ the Southern Conference Sportswriters Association picked East Carolina for a third place finish in the Conference.

The coaches, less optimistic about the Pirates in their first year of Southern Conference eligibiiity picked them for fifth.

It turned out that the coaches were wrong and the writers were right. The Bucs finished with a >-l record in the conference and that was good enough for third place.

But that was not even the high point of the season.

On December 11, the Bucs defended their 1964 Tangarine Bowl Championship against the

University of Maine. That resulted in a 31-0 victory for the Bucs and their straight 9-1 year and third straight bowl game victory.

Only three weeks later, however, tragedy struck, as Norman Swindell, captain of the team, was lost on a hunting trip.

At the start of the season. Coach Clarence Stasavich was somewhat optimistic about the team, but did not expect another 9-1 season.

He felt that the Bucs were a better team, but also stated that the competition was tougher, as the schedule was improved.

It was the last year for the Bucs as a minor and they

intended to leave that division with their mark.

West Chester was the first to feel the jab of the Pirate sword, as the Bucs rolled to a 27-6 victory in their opener.

But the next week, Furman, smarting from a licking last season, tore into the Bucs, and came away with a 14-7 victory.

It was the last loss of the season for the team.

Next came their arch - rival, Richmond, a team which had beaten them for the past three seasons, all by close scores.

This year, the story was reversed, and the Bucs made up for their losses, gaining a 34-13 victory.

Then came Louisville, a young, but rising team. They gave the

Bucs one of their toughest battles, but the Bucs went home with a 34-20 victory.

The Citadel came to Green-villt looking for a victory and only got a 21-0 loss banded to them by the Bucs.

Then came a long road trip to Monroe, Louisiana, where the Bucs pasted Northeastern Louisiana, 45-0.

The next week, at Homecoming, the Bucs closed out their

attack and rallied for a 21-20 victory. Then their awaited bid came later that week.

But Howard still stood in the way, and gave the Bucs a scare for a half, before bowing 35-10.

The second straight Tangerine Bowl was anti-climactic as the Bucs rolled again, 31-0, with almost ease.

The year proved to be a good one for the record book too. Aside from a couple of team

longest series, as Lenoir Rhyne conference records, Dave Alex-

bowed, 44-0.

By then bowl hopes were in the air, and the Bucs were told unofficially that if George Washington went down, they would get the Tangerine bid.

It looked at first like the bid wasnt coming, as George Washington took advantage of early Buc mistakes to take a 20-0 lead in the first period.

But it wasnt over, trailing 20-7 going into the last period, the Bucs put together a fine air

Mder snapped conferenct marks in total offense, rushing, rushes, touchdowns scored and points scored.

In addition, Peter Kriz set a new conference mark for extra points kicked, rounding out the year.

In the Tuscarora War of Sept.

1711 the home of John Porter at the head of Chocowinity Bay was said to have been the first place attacked by the Indians.

Formica Corporation Plant Puts Emphasis On Training

FARMVILLE - Ameri can Cyanamid is growing faster than the nations economy.

So said T. J. Canning, manager of the Formica Corporation plant here, a subsidiary of American Cynamid.

Producing Formica Supe r-core, a flakeboard sheet, the company set up operations in Farmville in 1958.

We have opened a new warehouse recently, said Canning, reviewing innovations instituted by the company during the year. We previously had been using two tobacco warehouses. ! He pointed out that the new I warehouse is being used for the .storage of the finished product land for shipping, as well.

Employing some 200 workers, the plant. Canning explain e s, utilizes pine pulp woo( obtained from within a 125-mile radius of Farmville. The product, Supercore, is made by combining wo<xl flakes with synthetic resins to produce a board.

The primary use for the product is as an underlayment for Formica Decorative laminates. It is also utilized in furniture crops, cabinet doors and sink tops.

About 70 per cent of the wood needed for the operation is delivered to the plant by truck and the rest by rail. The plant processes the raw materials into an annual production of some 40 million square feet of Flake

board.

The plant covers 42 acres on a 93-acre site on South Field Street.

Canning said training of employees has been emphasized during the year, with personnel attending school outside the state as well as neighboring technical institutes.

He said the training program is an effort to overcome a lack of skilled labor.

I think this area in the last eight or nine years has built up industrially but then it has a long way to go as far as technically trained peopoe are concerned, he explained. It is a national bottle neck as well as an area bottleneck.

He pointed out that Formica believes the responsibility for training rests with the company itself.

It is our responsibility to get these people trained, he said, and that is what we will do with on-the-job training and other means.

Walter Gray Serving Bethel For 25 Years

BETHEL ~ This year marked the 25th year that Bethel has had the services of Walter Gray, Chief of Police.

Gray came to Bethel from Roboaonville where he had been employed by the W. M. Scales Tobacco Company. He is a native of Stokes and attended Stok as Ifigh School

For two years, the police chief operated a service station In Bethel and then joined the police force.

In 1943, he was appointed superintend e n t of streets and water works and has remained in the capacity since. Nine years ago, he became Chief of Police.

My work brings me in contact with young people and I

advantage,*' commented Gray.

He serves as superintendent of Bethel's p^k along with his other activities.

Police work is quite a rewarding area,'' he continued. It is certainly an excellent way for a man to help the public. In speaking of Bethel's police departments activities he commented that the crime rate in Bethel is normal for a town of its size.

We do know that crime is advancing, but this is the product of larger population and increasing traffic through the town itself.

Most of our arrests, conducted Gray, are for drunk and disorderly conduct with traffic offenses second. The offenders

of Bethel natives and visitors. Chief Gray heads a four-man police department which operates on a 24 hour schedule. The staff includes Willis Overton, Jesse Gardner, and Curtis Taylor.

The department is equipped with a radio car and base radio station in the police office which provides immediate links with county police and the state highway patrol.

Chief Gray is married to the former Bertha Johnson of Rob-ersonville and they have three children.

BETHEL-Pitt Countys second rescue unit came into being following a meeting of tlie Bethel Town Board on December 1, 1959.

The commissiiMiers aproved the venture after a delegation appeared to describe the need for such'an additional emergency unit which would booster the veteran city and rural fire fighter organizations.

Bethel is unique in the fact that both its fire and rescue operations are conducted into parts of three counties. Bethel serves parts of Pitt, Martin, and Edgecombe Counties.

Backed by the Bethel commissioners pledge of $500 for equipment and authority to increase the fire department membership to 30 men, the rescue squad was off to a good start.

Additional support came from the county governments of the tri-county region and was completed with public solocitation for funds to purchase the squad panel truck.

Similiar to the older Greenville squad, the Bethel squad is composed of dedicated men and is under the supervision of a Bethel doctor, Dr. W. A. Moody.

When placed in operation, the

new Rescue Squad was dedicated to the memory of Willie Abeyounis, a fireman killed in the line of duty while fighting a rural fire. He was the borth-er of the present Bethel fire chielf George Abeyounis.

Since that time the tri-county rescue unit has played an important role in the protection of the lives of the citizens of the Bethel community.

King Cotton Seen Losing Proposition

While tobacco in Pitt County was seeing both good and bad in 1965, the story of the cotton crop is mostly bad. Total sales in cotton (lint) and cottonseed was down $389,693 from the 1964 gross, a loss that is blamed almost entirely on excessive rains during the year.

Pitt cotton producers harvested 6,447 acres in 1965 and mar-k e t e d approximately 7,250,-000 pounds. Gross income from this cotton totaled $500,000, with very few producers getti n g through the season without a

loss.

During 1964 about the same amount of cotton was harvested and produced, yet the growers realized gross incomes of $773,640 on cotton (lint) and $116,053 on cotton seed.

Probably the only lifesaver for the cotton growers was the Federal Crop Insurance, which estimated that 75 per cent of the cotton producers in the county filed claims to cover expenses for the 1965 crop.

Prospects are considerably brighter for 1966, however. The Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service instituted

While tobacco and cotton were hurt during the 1965 growing season, com crops were having a holiday, soaking up the excessive rains and posting nearly $900,(KX) more in gross sales during the year.

GRIFTON - In the 1800s, Grifton was known as Bells Ferry with about 75 people living <xi the Lenoir and Pitt aides of G^ntentnea Creek. In 1883, the name of the community was changed to Grifton for C. M. A. Griffin, the grandfather Mrs. M. B. Hodges. The reason for the towns naming itr self after Griffin is not recordad.

Malaria constantly presented a health problem and after the railroad laid a track in 1891, ttte.town gradually moved to fattier and healtUer ground.

In an old industrial issue of the Kinston Free Press issued in 1906, the following description of Grifton was given: Surrounded by one of the best farming sections in East-t r n North Carolina, eleven miles from Kinston, on the Atlantic Coast Line Railway, live a thriving people in the town of Grifton. N. C., w h ere seven hundred and more inhabitants live in a healthful climate and enjoy an atmosphere of happiness and morality. Tbie is supplied with eight pub-Uc wells driven to an average depth of 192 feel

The article went on to comment how the town had been Accounted an unhealthy location* where citizens lived down 90 the low-grounds of (tentent-oea Creek, and drank surface water. The result was chills tnd fever.

The principal enterprise here was the Grifton Manufacturing Company that made and repaired buggies, wagons, and farm implements. The firm employed ten and its officers included Leon 0. Cox.

Another local industry of the time was the Keene and Kit-trel Lumber Company.

In addition to the railroad, water transportation was available up to the Grifton Dock during high water season. In the remaining months, t h e waterway, alM called Moccasin River^ was navigable to a dock seven miles below town.

The article noted that a Captain Tillman made two trips a week betwe^ Grifton and New Bern with passengers and freight

only a slight increase in sales of eggs, but prospects for the future have brightened considerably.

Pitt dairies in 1965 produced 10,(M)0,000 pounds of milk for a total sales of $625,000, about the same as in 1964, Egg production on the other hand was up slightly. During the past year, Pitt producers marketed some 3,000,000 commer c i a 1 eggs for sales of $1,020,000, compared to 2,887,000 eggs for $923,-840 in 1964.

Sales of hatching eggs increased about 2,000 during the year as some 64,000 dozen were sold for $38,400.

Pitt com growers during 1965, produced better than 4,000 acres more than in 1964, with a considerably better yield. The price of com was eight cents more per bushel $1.20 and at the end of the harvest season, gross sales totaled $3,328,000 compared to $2,480,800 during 1964.

Even though it was a good year for com, the Agricultural Extension Service is asking for more. Sam Winchester, extension chairman for Pitt, earlier this year estimated that Pitt producers mark eted 3,750,000 bushels of corn at $1.20 per bushel.

He said that if this cora had been used to finish out either livestock or poultry, it would have returned better than $3.00 per bushel and boosted countys farm income by $6,

Ayden Mayor Confident -We Can Get It Done'

*vWTi-If there is any-tnittg Ji Ayden we want done, we can get it done.'

Thus, Mayor Ross Perslnger described the mood of Aydens people towards promoting and advancing their town for de^ velopment.

"T think the majority of the people here have a wonderful rttitude, he declared. We, have good people here, both colored and white.

Persinger noted that Ayden possesses in its population the forces for progress.

We have executives, professional people and professors from East Carolina College living here, he explained. I believe in putting those kind of people to work.

A former city councilman and mayor since 1964, Persinger said the Negro population of Ayden is one of the towns attributes.

We should be proud of the high caliber of colored people we have here, he declared.

ROSS PERSINGER

That Is something we often overlook. Of course, we have some we could overlook but then we have those among the white population also. Persinger expressed the belief that the future holds for Ayden whatever we want to make of it.

I think we have the best potential of any area in the county, he declared. T think A'311 grow industrially and res-iccnUally.

The Mayor pointed out that one of Aydens most pressi n g needs is the development of

residential areas. He said the need is evident in the lack of rental housing and the scarcity of new houses fw incoming residents.

If we provide these services for our people, Persinger advised, well grow.

A native of Louisburg, W. Va., Persinger came to Ayden in 1953. He is a crafts analyst with the DuPont Company.

Persinger noted that the progress of Ayden has been mark^ in recent months. He pointed to the newly-formed Rescue Squad and the purchase of a new school activity bus for the Ayden Schools as examples of the citizenrys concern for their community.

He said the Ayden town fathers will soon develop plans for new utilities rates for res-idrats. Aydra currently is supplied with electrical power by the Grenville Utilities Commission.

We hope to have a different rate so we can induce people to use more electricity, ne explained. And, once and for all, we are going to decide whether we can buy power cheaper from somebody else.

Persinger pointed out that with the construction of a new building for ttie FYee Will Baptist Press on Highway 102 North of Ayden the prospects of a residential area springing up around the site are good.

All highways coining into Ayden, between now and summer will be four lanes, he advised. That also will make the approaches to our town more attractive.

Persinger is a veteran of World War II, having served in the European Theater. He is married to the former Happy Hutton of Charleston, W. Va. They have two sons, and four grandchildren.

Colonial Store Moves To New, Bigger Building

Pepsi-Cola Plant Is Now Expanded

The Daily Reflector, Greenville, N. C.-Progress end Business Review, 1966^

The Pepsi Cola Bottling Company of Greenville has expanded rapidly to keep up with new demands in this area, according to Jack Minges, president and treasurer of the company. ' We extend our appreciation to the people of Greenville and Pitt County for their part in making this growth possible, he commented.

Minges father, M. 0. Minges, established the first plant in Greenville in 1923. Beginning with less than 1,000 feet of floor space, the business has now grown to consist of more than 125,000 square feet (rf plant floor space in Greenville, New Bern, and Kinston with distribution points in Washington, Morehead City, and Jacksonville.

When the plant was first

We have a strong conviction ^t when a homemaker comes into a food store, she is primarily interested in foods.

So said R. L. Bel^dn, Vice-President of Colonial Stores Raleigh division, noting the features of Greenvilles new Colonial Store located in Pitt Plaza Shopping Center.

Belvin said the new store is arranged with an emphasis on foods of all kinds with a minimum of space devoted to items not related to foods or everyday household needs.

TTierefore, we are concentrating on presenting a complete line of foods with a minimum of space devoted to other household items, Belvin explained. We feel that by doing this we can better serve the total food needs of our customers.

Colonial Stores had its beginnings in 1901, whai David Pender, then 24 years old, moved to Norfolk, Va. from his home in Tarboro, N. C. and opened a grocery store bearing his name In 1910, Pender opened his first lM*anch store and when he retired from active management of David Pender Grocery Co. in 1926, there were 324 stores in

Virginia and North Carolina.! Pender died in 1950.

In 1940, the Pender Stores merged with the Rogers Stores, be^ in Atlanta, Georgia by a Maine native, L. W. Roger. The Rogers operation, begun in 18-92, included 22 stores throughout Georgia ^d South Carolina. Rogers died in 1914.

Now operating more than 430 supermarkets in ten states in the Southeast and Midwest, Colonial employs 10,000 persons on a full-time basis.

Belvin said a study of homemaker likes and dislikes throughout Colonials operating territory cimtributed much to the formation of concepts for the arrangement of the new Greenville unit. ^

Weve tried to incorporate as many of their ideas as possible in this new Colonial Store in Greenville, Belvin declared. Ill have to admit that as a result of these interviews with our women customers, we have had to :vise our thinking in many arc s, but we are in business to please women and I think they can take pride in what we have done here in Greenville.

Earl Thompson Is manager of the new Greenville Store.

Crime Is Scarce In Winterville

WINTERVILLE Winterville boasts a very low crime rate according to police officials in the town. Chief W. M. Ennis commented, Once I came with-ing ten minutes of going an entire moneth without making an arrest.

Ennis heads a three-man force in the town consisting of a fulltime assistant and a part time policeman.

J. E. Buck has been a fulltime police officer for about 40 years, and served with Winter-villes police for about 20 of the years.

Amos Worthington serves in part-time capacity on the force here.

The officers report that most of the work is patrol duty and regular routine.

established, M. 0. Minges manufactured an orange soft drink and did not add Pepsi until 12 years later.

The Pepsi Cola Bottling plant is located at 1809 CHckinson Avenue in Greenville and servei a business area of Pitt, Greene, Martin, Beaufort, Hyde, Tyrcll, Washing ton, and Bertie Counties.

Steady growth caused the first plant division in 1950 when Forrest Minges became president and manager of the New Bern plant. In 1953 another division made Hoyt Ming e s president and manager of the Kinston plant.

Dr. Ray Minges, a Green-ville surgeon, Maxel E. Minges and Martha Minges Bass are also stockholders in the frm, which today sells not only Pepsi-Cola but also IWet Pepsi and Mountain Dew.

Farmville Police Had A Sad Year

FARMVILLE - For Farm-villes Police Department, a year has brought new leadership and sadness.

The new leadership came with Chief Graham Creel. Sadness came with the death of veteran officer Lyman R. Eason.

Eason, 56, was shot and killed on Nov. 10, 1965, as he attempted to arrest a suspect in a Greene County breaking-and-entering case.

Robert Rogers 19-year-old

Spring Lake Negro, arrested the day of the slaying, has been charged with Easons murder, and is awaiting trial.

The National Police Officers Association recently awarded Eason the Medal of Valor ^or outstanding heroism, valor and meritorius service above and beyond the call of duty , The citation was presented to Mrs. Eason on January 13, 1965 by Farmville Police Sgts. Grover Bailey and Carl Tanner.

Basketball in Pitt County has seen some changes made since the close of the 1964-65 season.

One team is no longer with us, while another is seeking fame and fortune in another conference.

Grimesland, after a failing season for the boys and their Second straight winless season for the girls, dropped from the list after the school was converted into an elementary branch and the high school students were divided up among the area schools.

FarmviUe, the defending tournament champion and the district champ, dropped out of the Pitt County Gass-A Conference, and moved to the Eastern Plains 2-A Conference for all sports.

And this left the door open for Ayden High School to dominate the county with few if any opposition.

Ayden last year was figured to be a sure winner in the Pitt County Conference and went on to prove that that estimate was not a wrong one. They swept through the conference with Ut-tle or no opposition, and then ran into tournament troubles.

freeze and the zone press and it proved to be too much for them. But they went down hard, forcing an overtime before bowing. ' ,

Ayden still had a chance, how-|ever, to come back, in the dis-jtrict tournament. But again they had their troubles, as Rober-jsonville held off their raUy for a 57-56 victory.

FarmviUe then used its freeze-press against RobersonviUe and came away with the district crown in a 51-46 victory, and went on to the state champion

ships.

There, however, their game didnt work, as they ran into eventual champion BoonviUe. FarmviUe, after being down by as much as 14 points rallied to tie it up in the fourth period, and even take the lead, but the BoonvUle team proved too much and the Red Devils feU, 55-52.

The 1965-66 season opened with a bright prospect for the year. Ayden was the overwhelming favorite, but Bethel was rated as a possible dark-horse to

unseat them. Other challengers are expected to be ready by tournament time.

Thus far, the brightest spot in the basketball world for Pitt County was the fine play in the Ayden Holiday 'Tripleheader, held late in December. While the pairings didnt bring together the best teams in the tournament, there was stiU some fine play, and the tournament proved to be one which should have lasting use in the area.

But for the present, the word for the future is Catch Ayden.**

BETHEL BetheFs municipal library underwent a remodeling program this past year and the product of the efforts have been increased circulation.

Included in the renovation was the addition of a concrete floor, new books, new shelves, and a paint job.

The number of volumes in the library is now approximately 5,-000. The books are purchased by the town, donated by individuals in memorial, or given by the five or six book clubs in Bethel.

The library itself is 15 years old and is housed in a former doctors office which the Blount family owned and donated to the j town. I

Mrs. Sallie Tucker founded the library and served as its first librarian for four years. Her sister, Mrs. P. C. Rives, succeeded her and remained librarian untl about a decade ago when Mrs. Mary L. Manning took over the work.

The assistant librarian is Mrs. S. L. Johnson.

Readers draw from sour c e s provided through the bookmobile which operates from the Sheppard Memorial Library in Greenville.

The first collection was in a room at the grammar school where there were about 2,850 books according to an old

record.

The present collection is augmented on a monthly basis wiUi municipal allocations. The collection contains classics, fiction, historical, autobiographical and

reference sections.

Many of the classics owned by the library were donated by the Bethel Clinic.

Library hours are from two to five p.m. five days a week.

By JOHN G. DUNCAN

The county has been in conflict many times with nature. Hurricanes, blizzards, an d milder thrusts have been tak-in stride for they can be expected now and then. It is the unexpected happenings that cause the most fear an<| alarm.

Perhaps then, the most frightening encounter between the fixed and changeable took place on a hot August night some seventy-two and a half years ago. And perhaps also, what happened that night long ago when the earthquake hit these parts would only have been a memory if the editor of the Eastern Reflector hadnt been at his desk in the Skinner Building.

August 31, 1886 The night was almost fair with a slightly haze appearance in the Western sky which thickened after ten oclock. But it wasnt long after his comment on the weather that things began to happenthe earth shook.

At first the newspaper man attributed this to a sound he , had heard many times before in the store below him.

It was like something we had experienced when barrels of pork were rolled across the floor. The sound was similar and we attributed the noise and shaking to that.

But as the sound began to increase, the writer began to put aside the pork rolling theory.

The building now began to sway back and forth in oscillations swings with a rude and rapid quiver.

When it seemed that the

supports to the building were about to give away, and the building settled from its usual vertical stance and leaned towards the northeast. What ever tasks he was doing when it all started were forgotten. All around town houses and building were doing strange dances to metores rumbling tune. Windows rattled and broke and anything not nailed down began to roU around.

The shaking of the earth prompted much prayersome from sources not heard from for a long timeand much repenting took place. A few in the local pubs caught between the sway of booze and sway of the earth sobered up and vowed never again.

By this time the newspaperman had reached the conclusion the building on its own accord was failing to pieces. We stood not on the order of our going out and next found ourselves in the street. As we emerged from the shed in front of the building, people were rushing out into the street.

A big object bounded from the tin roof of the store across the street. We thought at this time it was timber, but afterwards learned it was a Negro man who bounded through the window touching the roof once and landed in the street.

Looking back toward the building he had just vacated the writer was surprised to

find it still in one piece.

Did Not Ust Long

*Tt did not last longer than forty seconds, though it seemed much longer; In ten or twtlv m i n u tes after t he first (shock) the second very slight one was felt, followed in ten minutes by a third, almost as severe as the first The fourth was very slight. One merchant ran out yelling cyclone. Then in a voice of horror vowed it was raining colored folks and brickbats.

One young man reading in his second sto^ bedroom jumped out of his window over to a tree six feet away and slid hurriedly to tht ground.

Another boy of sixteen jumped from the second story of his home and fell on a pile of bricksunhurt.

Other people thinking their homes were being broken into armed themselves.

Next Day On Wednesday Sep. 1, the news came that Charleston, S. C. had been almost destroyed by the same quake and that forty people had been killed.

The people of Greenville had course to be exceedingly thankful to Him who preserved them in this time of great danger.

Physical damage to the town was slight and people were soon back to their ways of doing things.

And the number of those that

took to prayer during the earths shaking and kept to the straight and narrow thereafter will nevCT be known.

But for awhile on a hot

August night of long ago, and even though it was only for a short time the devil was a total stranger to the folks of

Greenville.

FALKLAND The dryness of the Fall and Winter months has made Falklands recently-completed fire station a busy place.

We have saved a lot of woods land, said J. P. Stancil, Fire Chief.

Organized in 1961, the Falkland Volunteer Fire Department now counts 25 men on the rolls. Through the efforts of a number of the men, the new building was planned, built and equipped. In addition to one fire truck, the department has also recently acquired a 1,000

gallon tank truck.

The tanker was purchased in order to provide the firemen with greater water resources when fig h t i n g fires away from accessable water.

The Fire Association meets monthly, serving suppers, and periodically conducting fundraising projects to augment the equipment and provide general financial support for ^e departments operations.

According to Stancil, the department also receives financial support from donations and from the Fire Associations

rates.

For membership in the Association, Stancil said, the rates are set at $7.50 per month per building, $5 for any additional building and $10 perj month for commercial build- > ings. i

The fire department has recently installed a fire alarm system, and Stancil said plans for the future call for the possible acquisition of a county-wide radio hook-up and equipment to furnish a fallout shelter, as provided by the Federal Government.

Bethel Mayor Is Industry-Hunter

MAYOR JOE BUHERWORTH OF BETHEL progrese of Bethel.

has hopes for industry in the

BETHEL Industry is his main hope for the future of Bethel and Mayor Joe Butterworth has directed many of his efforts for the improvement of the town in that direction.

Now in his third term and sixth year as mayor, Butter-worth has seen the town limits of Bethel increased the town facilities foT utility service improved.

Two new deep wells with a pumping capacity of 350 gallons a minute each have been recently installed by the town, explained the mayor. We have also increased the sewage system in the new section of Bethel at the North end of town. Butterworth went on to say that Bethel citizens are now making plans for a large sewer disposal unit.

In speaking of industry, he remarked, Industry would increase the population here. This I would in turn make inprove-ments in our school system a reality and would also be quite advantageous to the economy and well-being of the town. We have already felt the expansion of the surrounding towns of Greenville, Tarboro, and Kinston, as they all draw skilled employees from Bethel.

Diana Hosiery came to Beth

el in 1945-46 and was hoped to be the beginning of a growing industry for the town. The plant was designed around full-fashion hosiery, however, and the market for that style leg wear became almost obsolete soon after the plant began operation.

Butterworth explained that the town had purchased a five acre lot on which the plant was built. The brick structure is fully air-conditioned. Hope for another industry to fill the vacancy is expressed by many of the townspeople.

The town of Bethel is known for its unique residential areas and the mayor commented on

its success.

We have many farmers living in Bethel who have farms which they manage, but prefer to live inside the town limits. The cost of living along with the good environment found in Bethel entice many other people to live here also.

I can safely say that we are above average in resid&itial growth, continued Butterworth.

Another facet of Bethel of which I am quite proud is our large number of churches and the fine clinic we have here. Our

recreation facilities include a park and a swimming pool.

Butterworth is a native of New port News, Virginia. He graduated from Forest Park Hi^ School in Baltimore. He then entered Wake Forest Upon graudationin 1942, Butterowiih entered Notre Dame Midshipmans School and received his commission in 1943.

After a trip overseas cm active duty, he returned in 1945 and taught for one year at Notre Dame.

In January, 1945, he married Frances Manning of Bethel whom he had met while in school at Wake Forest. They now have three children.

He has been in Bethel since that time as manager of Mannings Supply Store.

In 1954, Bethel town officifils appointed Butterworth as commissioner and in 1961 he became mayor. He is a member of the Rotary Chib and the Bethel Medioi^st Church.

Nobile Homes Filling A Need

, Wa like to think we are ^; * helping the pwple of Greenville Pitt County find a better ; way ol life by providing instant housing which fits into the budget of the young, middle age. and elderly people ot this area, says J. T. Williams of Azalea Mobile Homes, Inc.

In 1959 we realized that the low price houses for the average family were rapidly disappearing from this area. We saw where it was a problem for our coUege students to find adequate low price houses. At

first we tlwught that the shell ^home was the answer but af-

* ter some study we saw th e

shortcoming in this type of housing.

After traveling through many parts of North Carolina and Virginia we saw where the mobile homes were just beginning to expand into larger and more modem construction.

Realizing that this could be the answer we opened a sales lot in conjunction with our plumbing business. After a short time we realized that this was the answer for our college students, our young homemak- 'ers, our elderly people. In *fact we found that Uiere was a mobile home for almost any purpose including schools and offices.

The firm has grown in six I years to be one of the largest retail mobile home sales in North Carolina with gross sales of alnK)st $2 million. It now has retail sales lots in Kinston, New Bern, Washington and Williamson.

The firm employs 30 f u 11-time people plus part-time college students with an annual payroll of approximately $100,-000.

Azalea was founded seven years ago. It is located at 3012 E. 10th St. and Hamilton Street.

Winterville Origin Was As Train Stop

WINTERVILLE Winterville originated as a train stop for the Atlantic Coast Line trains which ran from Kinston to the main line in 1890.

At the stop was a woodrack kept by Amos Graves Cox to help the train crews. With the train'pausing at the woodrack and the small crossing on which it was located, people began to come to the area to do business with the railroad and the community.

Cox had earlier foun d e d a small factory at the crossroads. He and his manufacturing company were the founders of the town. The Cox home was the center of invention of a number of farm implements produced in the factory. The home was about a half mile west of the present town.

There were about 50 residents in the area when the name of Winterville was given. Prior to that the community had b e en named after the Coxes.

In 1894, Cox moved his plant to the tracks and around the new plant developed a nucleus for the new community. It was incorporated in 1897 when there were two stores in the village, one a general store owned by Co)L.and the other a dry goods store run by B. F. Fleming.

Leaders of the Neuse Baptist Association founded a boarding academy on the secondary level here. Buildings of the former

In conveying his town-site lots, Cox put into each deed a re

work done in the old church building includes a new paint job, new draperies, woodwork refinishing, air conditioning, and the enlargement of the fellowship and dining halls.

The new section was built to join the old section at both the kitchen and the sanctuary.

Members of the congregation are now busy acquiring new furniture for the church.

The congregation of the Christian Church here got its beginning as a mission church in the 1890s when a frame sanctuary housed services for the approximately 75 members.

The Rev. J. J. Harper was the first minister in the church here. Today the Rev. William M. Edge serves as pastor.

BETHEL Bethels number one project for the past two years has been the improvement and extension of the municipal system.

A new section was annexed to the town limits several years before which included the northwest end of Bethel. This annexation prompted the improvement of the system.

According to assistant town clerk Mrs. C. M. Burton, this project is the reason for a general increase in the towns budget with major emphasis being placed on the utilities.

Fot the year 196465, comment Mrs. Burton, Our budget was $69,200. For the year 1965-66, the budget is $82,958.

The budget increase is a result of the $60,000 bond issue voted on by the Bethel community. Other financial aid for the sewer project was in the

way of a federal grant for $56,000.

Plans for the future include a new lagoon for the sewer system. Plans for the project are already underway.

Another project is the hard-surfacing of C%erry Street from McWhorter Street to Railroad Street. Work on the street is now in progress.

Mrs. Burton has been the as-sitant town clerk in Bethel for more than 20 years now. She is originally from Aurora and came to Bethel in 1925.

She is married to C. M. Burton and they have four children.

Town Clerk is M. L. James. James has been in that position for 15 years. He is a native of Bethel and serves the town as its fire commissioner.

He is married and has two daughters.

August, 1966 will mark the completion and grand opening of Greenvilles Pitt Plaza, a $1.5 million shopping center.

According to W. B. Leverton Winston-Salem, President of Pitt Plaza, Inc., upon completion, the shopping center will house 28 businesses, utilizi n g 222,902 square feet of floor space.

Leverton said that in addition to leases announced in 1964 with J. C. Penny Co., Roses Stores, Inc. of Henderson, Colo n i al Stores and Eckerd Drugs, Pitt Plaza has also contracted to lease floor space to Mi 11 er-

Wahl Co. (Three Sisters), Butler Shoe Ck>rp., The Glidden Co., Planters Nations Bank and Sportsmans Barber Shop.

Some of the business which have leased floor space have alread^^ opened for business and Leverton noted tliat some six or seven stores will open by March 2, 1965.

However, the grand opening will not take place until August 4, 1966, Leverton said, which is the date J. C. Penny Co. will open for business.

Pitt Plaza Inc. was chartiered as a North Carolina Corporation in July 1965. The principal stock holders are Leverton and KJK Corporation of Henderson.

The first phase of the shop-jing center project, scheduled jfor completion next month was begun in March, 1965, and will contain 162,727 square feet of floor space. The second phase I of construction, expected to begin shortly, will contain 60,175 square feet.

George W. Kane Inc. Henderson is the. general contractor and Robert W. Crump of Winston-Salem is the architect.

Leverton said the design of the center is open i mall with the first phase of buildings fronting about 1,000 feet along U. S. 264. The second phase will be I built in front of buildings nearing completion and will form the mall.

Pitt Plaza Inc. owns certain I options to acquire up to 26 acres of the James L. Evans property I on which the new shopping center is located. The facilitys plans now call for the utilization of 24.8 acres.

In 1883, the name of the community was changed to Grifton for C.M.A. Grifton.

In the small village, Frank Pittman had established a general repair shop and it was in this shop that the first Methodist Sunday School was held.

Before this time, most Methodist familes attended Rose of Sharon Church. For the services no musical instruments were available and the only literature was the catechism.

Pittman had three sons who were musically inclined and they led the singing.

Realizing that a church building was becoming a necessity if progress was to continue, Albert Coward gave timber to erect a building. The church building was erected on the site now occupied by the Ne g r o elementary school. The belfry was separate from the building and contained a bell given by the Mose Spriveys.

According to church records the first minister to serve the church was the Rev. Alpheus McCullen; however, oldest members remember Rev. Carpenter. a circuit rider, who preached once a month when the church was first established.

remarks Lewis.

GRIFTONThe crime rate in Grifton has decreased in the past year according to Chief of Police Luther Lewis.

Last years number of arrests totalled 20 per month on the average as compared to an average of 18 per month this year.

Chief Lewis attributes the low .crime rate to the cooperation are right here in Grifton.

They cooperate in any way they can, said Lewis. Some

Lewis went on to say that Grifton had the lowest crime rate in the county.

We very seldom have break-ins down here, explained Lewis. Of course, the fact that most of Grifton is on one street and can be watched by one man accounts for this.

Lewis heads a staff of three full-time policemen and one part-time. Members on the Grifton force are Robert Spikes,

Jimmy Lewis, and Harold Nobles.

Lewis, who came to Grifton from Ashe City in Middlesex County seven years ago, began working with the town as a utility worker. He became police chief six years ago.

His duties include not only normal police protection, but also involve minor maintenance of fire fighting equipment.

The new facility will give the college one of the finest plants in the Southern Conference, and the pool will probably be the site of future Sotith-em meets.

Construction on the facility began in December and is expected to be finished in time for the 1967-68 basketball season. *

The new field house, located nearby, inside Ficklen Stadium, will provide dressing areas for the outdoor sports, principally football, baseball and track. Its construction will end the problem of having to transport sports teams from the present gym to t h e athletic facilities before and after the games.

The building will also provide storage space for equipment used in outdoorsports.

Another building, while not primarily athletic, is connected to the program. It is f o r the Century Club, the prime contributor to the athletic program.

The building will be used for meetings of the club, and pre-and-post-game get-togethers. Century Club members will also enter the stadium through the building.

During the past year too, the baseball field got its first real use, as the Bucs played most of their home games on the field. A new scoreboard, a pub-lic-address system and a press-box were installed there.

Practice fields in the area were also given their first use this last year.

Next to Ficklen Stadium, a soccer-lacrosse field was constructed and has seen use for the past season for both of these teams, both playing their initial year at the school. Both are now on a club basis, but are expected to join the athletic program in the future as full sports.

Rowing is another new sport at the campus, also on a club basis. The headquarters for this is Washington, N. C., where storage space and a launching dock have been located for the schools two shells, donated by northern colleges.

The future also shows some construction on the way. Plans currently call for the college to seek permission to issue additional bonds for the construction of the other side of Ficklen Stadium.

Grifton Growth Required Forming Two Subdivisions

GRIFTONGriftons population has swelled substantially duringthepast few years, enough in fact, to warrant the development of two subdivisions for the small but progressive community.

In the last decade, the Forest Acres subdivision and Country Club Hills development have provided for an influx of new families in addition to older residents of the Grifton area.

Forest Acres was established about 1955 when the land w :s mapped along highway IL About two-thirds of the resi-drrts are DuPont Plant personnel. Well over 50 homes now po'.uLate the subdivisicm.

It was begun by Kenneth Tal

bot, Leroy Cherry, and W. I. Bissette. The subdivision includes a swimming pool which exists through the corporation of the residents.

Country Qub Hills was developed by Sam Nelson, an insurance agent here.

Nelson said that the development was in planning stages in 1961 and that after land was purchased adjacent to the Grifton Golf and Country Club, he began using aerial and topographical maps to determine possibilities as a subdivision.

The development was planned with regulations that maintain minimum prices on the residences and provide for enough land between homes to maintain a rural aspect in the area.

It is the policy of the department to answer rural calls from all over the county with this equipment, says Stocks.

BETHEL Bethel Clinic was founded in 1950 when Dr. Charles Jorden and Dr. Connell G. Gar-renton each put up $5,000 and borrowed the balance to erect the original clinic structure.

William Allen Moody, MD., joined the staff in 1954 and the size of the clinic was doubled to 13 beds and a bassinet, two incubators, and an autoclave.

Other equipment purchased by the clinic at later dates includes an oxygen tent, electrocardiogram, and X-ray units. The clinic is also equipped with a laboratory operated by Med i c a 1 Technologist Rufus E. Coltrain.

Other staff personnel includes five registered nurses, nurses aids, business staff of four, and a custodian.

Doctors on the Bethel Clinic today treat people in a 25-mile radius covering a tri - county area.

The facility serves more than ten thousand families with few of its patients coming from Bethel. Service extends as far away as Washington Rocky Mount, Greenville, Scotl and

Neck, and Tarboro.

A few major and minor operations as well as the regular obstetrics work is handled through the clinic. It is accredited by the North Carolina Medi-ical Care Commission and is licensed on its approval to treat insurance cases.

The three doctors see approximately 33,000 outpatients a year. The clinical type operation is quite unique in that there are three general practitioners who can rotate on a duty schedule. Usually there are specialists in larger clinics.

A 24-hour service is available at the clinic at all times. Emergency cases are brought i i oy &e Bethel Rescue Squad.

The outstanding point of the clinic is that the doctors as general practitioners can offer a tremendous range of service from psychotherapy to surgery.

Meals for the clinic patients are prepared by t h e Grade A. Cafe, a local catering service. The clinic itself has no major kitchen facilities, though it is equipped to prepare small ciders.

Growth Is Mark

Th Daily Rallador^ GraanvUla, N. C. Pvo0rait and lmfiaia Ravtaw, 1964-X*31

01 Local Moose

The past year was another year of growth for Greenville Lodge 885, Loyal Order of the Moose.

Already the largest lodge in North Carolina, the Greenville fraternity added to its membership and constructed a new $90,000 auditorium to better serve its o w n needs and those of the community.

Its a far cry from 15 years ago when it was chartered with 50 members over a furniture store in downtown Greenville.

Lodge Governor H. Horton Rountree terms the new auditorium a necessity. It had been In the planning stage for two years and was completed in late December.

We had 1,701 members in late 1964; and at the same time in 1965 we had 1,850 on our rolls. So it was needed to meet the increased demand of our members.

H. H. ROUNTREE . . lodge Governor

But it wasnt built only for the Moose, he continued, it serves the community as a . whole.

In the first week our new auditorium was open it was used by over 2,000 people for various functions unrelated to the Moose.

The new auditorium is twice the size of the original, adding 9,600 square feet to lodge facilities. On December 27, 1965 it was fwrnally named the Edwin M. Baldree Auditorium, honoring ttie lodge secretary who contributed much of his time and effort toward its realization.

We in the Greenville lodge strive to appeal to the widest spectnun of community life, noted Rountree. Were very proud of sharing all thats good in fratemalism. The Moose is a family fraternity, and we offer as much as we can to all the member of our families.

The lodge has set a target of 2,000 members by April 30. Well make it, too, smi 1 e s Rountree.

Other officers currently serving on the board, are: Past Governor James Harris Sr.;

Junior Governor H. Reginald Gray; Prelate William N. Leitch; Treasurer John B. Boyd; Secretary E. M. Baldree; and Trustees Eli Bloom, Norman Garrison and P. A. Taylor.

Aiwther silver plaque for community service, in competition j among all lodges in the United States and Canada (within their I membership category) was earn-ed by the Greenville organiza-jtion during the past year. In j other recent years they have I won a first place gold nlaque in this field, two second place awards and two third place (bronze) awards. TTiey have been frequent winners %if service awards within the North Carolina Moose Association whidi counts 70-odd lodges.

Another distincticp during the year was election of Greenville Moose Henry Flake as President of the State Assod a t i on.

The year also saw an official visitation by the Supreme Governor Elmer Harter, and Past-Supreme Governor Ralph Vill-ani. On that occasion, Lodge 885 was OTie of several lodges across North Carolina that hosted members of the Supreme Council. But it was here that the largest class of initiates (220) was gathered in honor of the visitors from Mooseheart, III.

*1110 lodge board of officers seeks to contribute to the county as a whole in approving service projects; for while it is officially designated as Greenville Lodge 885, its membership is made up of men from all sections of Pitt Ck>unty and often beyond.

And while they work, the Moose also play.

During the fall, winter and spring the entertainment committee provides regularly scheduled dances. Each year name bands are booked to play for the members (Guy Lombardo, Harry James, Jan Garber, Charlie Spivak, to name a few).

Family Day picnics are held, as are occasional dinner meetings for the members, parties and games. The Moose swimming pool is open for five months of the year and serves as a favorite gathering place for adults as well as young members of Moose families. The pool has a spacious concrete sun deck with lounges, chairs, table and beach umbrellas. A wading pool for the small fry, a concession stand and well-kept bath houses. . . the whole screened by fencing and hedges. . .comprise a valued addition to lodge facilities.

Qualified lifeguards are on duty during hours the pool is open to bathers, and during forenoonhours the lifeguards give swimming lessons in classes for children as well as adults.

A miniature golf course also serves members families during summer months, and an adjoining picnic grounds complete with tables, grills and sturdy playground equipment has proven popular.

Polio Beaten, Drive Goes On

On or about April 1, 1955, Dr. Jonas Salk and his associates annouiKed to the world the discovery and effective use of the now famous Salk Polio Vaccine.

Shortly thereafter, the National Infantile Paralysis Foundation ceased to exist. It was reorganized and in its place was formed the National Health Foundation. |

J. H. Rose of Greenville, who has served as chairman of the Pitt County unit of the Infantile Paralysis Foundation since 1941, continued in that position with the new National Health FoundaticHi.

Only now the emphasis was changed from the March of Dimes for polio victims to the March of Dimes for children crippled by birth defects.

The work was the same but die cause was different.

Money raised by the local unit and units thoughout the state helped establish a treatment . center in Chapel Hill for such crippled children.

. ' Money was kept within the county to help pay for necessary operations on children with .. birth defects. And money was sent to the national headquarters for continuation of research in the area of birth defects.

Money raised in the years before, incicjentally, went toward ^ research which eventually re-V suited in the discovery of the Salk Vaccine.

The Health Foundation still provides care for victims of iMilio, tlu>se^wh unfoi tuiiately r,)ntracted it just before or just after the vaccine. As young cliildren grew and their need for larger braces or other equipment became clear, money from the Pitt unit of the foundation

helped, and still helps, p a y for them.

We used to raise $10 to 112,000 a year in Pitt County, Rose says, now we only raise about $2,000 per year. People figure now that Polio is out and there are so many other charities, they dont contribute.

But Rose and the small corps of dedicated workers affiliated with the organization here keep trying. Each year an intensive letter campaign is carried out and the Air Force ROTC unit of East Carolina College stages an all-day march marathon on the streets of Greenville solict-ing donations.

The Pitt unit of the National Health Foundation will continue its annual march and mailing campaign, however, and though it has no set goal to achieve. Rose, campaign director Mrs. Louise Carrigan and treasurer Joseph S. Moye will continue to do the best we can.

Rose points out that calls for aid are not as heavy now as they once were, through the organization does have the responsibility of providing continuing care for those already afflicted.

Im going to continue as long as we have anything to work with, Rose comments, but before (before the vaccine) dont know what people would have done without the foundation.

The expedition* that captured Greenville on October 9, 1892, was a water base operation. The steamer. North Slate, a launcli, and a flatboat carried the troops. Tl)e steamer carried a 24 pound Howitzer and the launch, a 12 pound Howitzer. Lt. McLamb commanded the force, which consisted of about 55 men.

According to Fred C. Engle-hart, plant manager of Greenvilles Uniwi Carbide Corporation plant, The progress of our corporation is still ahead of the

general progress of the area. This growth, says Engle-hart, can be partly attributed to the growth of the battery industry during the last 20 years.

Ho^^er, continues Elngic-hart, I feel that the most significant contribution to this growth has been the fine workmanship, the cooperation, and

In addition, it has a number of products sold under trade marks well-known to the public such as Prestone Anti-freeze, Glad Bags, Everyready, Batteries, E)ynel, Sevin, 6-12, Bakelite, Pyrofax, and Vinylite.

'Dodgetown' Is Remodeled

We have a completely remodeled. . .and in our new location, we offer new and used cars and trucks, as well as motor tune-ups and general automobile service, remarks Gene Haddock.

Haddock is present manager of Dodgetown, Inc. located on Memorial Ehive.

Formerly Jim Dandy Motores, the business was opened under that name in May of 1964. As of April, 1965, the business changed management and ownership, as well as location.

Officers of tiie dealership are Hurston Wynne, Jr., president; James C. Wynne and Ray Lockhart, vice-presidents; Gene Haddock, secretary-treasurer and general manager.

The business serves an area of Greenville and Pitt county.

Haddock is a native of Win-terville where he attended Win-terville High School. He is a graduate of East Carolina College with a degree in business administration.

Married to the former May Cox of Winterville, Haddock is the father of two children.

their way through a 10-11 season, but slowly building up their strength for the conference tournament, where one of the two conference berths in the state tournament would be chosen.

Under their new coach. Nelson Best, the Phants progressed slowly, but each time looked a little betto* than in the last game. Best had said at the first of the season he wished to set the pace so that the team would reach its peak at the tournament.

And at the tournament, the Phants turned in what was probably the most amazing finish of the nine team field.

In the first round of the tournament, the Phants were matched up with West Carteret, a team that had seen better days in ie pretoumament days, but was suffering from dissention in the ranks.

Despite this, the Patriots put up a still battle for a while, but then the Phants began to take charge. The Patriot star, Robert McLean, was constantly boxed out by ttie Phisnt defenses, and after scoring nearly 25 points a game aU season, finished his high school career with only eight points, most of them late in the game, as senior Sonny Taylor did a fine job on him.

The next night, Rose took on New Bern, and battled them down to the wire before losing by a slim margin.

The result landed by Steve Fuller on the all-tournament team, and gave Rose hopes of a bright future for this season.

In the early days of the season, however, things were anything but bright for the Phantoms.

After football season cut into the practice period and held several players out of work for as much as a week or two, they finally all got together.

Then injuries struck and hampered the effort.

The Phants dropped their first two games before winning a non-conference tilt with Tar-boro. But three nights later, they fell to Tarboro again.

During the Christmas holidays, the Phants participatec in a tournament in Wilmington, and despite the fact that they lost both games to 4-A competition, Coach Best announced that he felt the team was ready.

The first game after that proved that he was right, as Rose scored a victory over Tarboro in its opening conference game.

And at the start of the new year, things indeed looked brighter for the Phants, and they began hustl^ again, making their opposition know that they had to play a hard game to beat them.

Again this years plan, however, calls for the Phants to make their peak at the tournament. This year, only one team from the conference goes to that state tournament, the conference tourney winner.

Thus the regular season games are merely a warm-up for that important three-day session. The chips will all be riding on these games.

According to Lucas, he did most of the work on the jail himself. Located in the Municipal Building, the jail is capable of accommodating 24 prisoners.

The town, in addition to providing the Chief with a cruiser some years ago, recently purchased radio equipment for the vehicle. The radio works in connection with a coimty-wide police network, providing contact with Greenville and Farmv i 11 e police departments, as well as others.

A graduate of Howard and Columbia Universities, where he received undergraduate and graduate degrees, respectively, Ormond said the school also instituted a football program for the first time.

The new trend has produced results, Ormond reported. He said 74 per cent of South Aydens 1965 graduating class enrolled either in college or in the technical Institute program.

We won two games, he said. *That wasnt too bad for the first year.

With the new counseling program at work, Ormond expressed optimism that more of South Aydens students would be furthering their education.

It seems as if our students are better able to realize their potentialities, he declared. I feel safe in saying more and more will be going on for further schooling, as time passes.

Ormond became principal of South Ayden in 1931, when the schools enrollment numbered 180 students with five teachers. The enrollment in 1964-65 was 1,|07 for grades one through 12i The current enrollment is 1W8. Hicre are 36 teachers on fhculty.
