Re-Roofing Af Rose High is Approvd
By JERRY RAYNOR ReflectorStaff Writer
A bid of $32,430 submitted by Lan-Way Construction Company of Raleigh for re-roofing the two-story classroom unit at Rose High School was approved by the Greenville City Board of Education Monday night, at a special call meeting.
The action also authorizes the payment, at $1.20 per square foot for whatever structural work is necessary beneath the roof. Architect George Shoe explained that there was no way to give an exact estimate of costs on that portion of the roof work, as it would not be known how extensive the damage to the structural deck might be until the membrane of the roof is removed. Totally, the structure consists of 19,000 square feet. Shoe said the best estimate they could give, from having examined the roof by Walking on it, was that perhaps 2,000 to 3,000 feet would need replacing.
The approved bid is for a kop-pers KMM type roof. Bids were taken from four companies on three types of roofs asphalt-felt; koj^rs KMM; and trocal.
Acceptance of the Lan-Way bid was approved after a motion approving the relief of the E. L. Scott Roofing Company of Kinston from its low bid of $28,768. Shoe explained that he received in writing a letter from Scott Roofing that the companys bid had been submitted with a major error mistakenly bidden on the basis of 141 roof squares instead of 180 squares. In reply to questions from board members before they approvd relief of the bid. Shoe said it was an honest error and without fraudulent intent, and that there were precedences for granting relief on erroneous bids by the State of North Carolina. He add-. ed that E. L. Scott Roofing Company was a long-established (me with a good reputation for work it had (kme in Pitt County for government agencies.

A definite date of completion cannot be projected for the reroofing project as the contract calls for keeping the school operable during all phases of construction. Shoe said this means In effect construction must be done on what can be removed and replaced on a day-by-day, good weather basis.
On another bid project, that of furniture for the library at the new Middle School, the board approved the second low bid of $9,550 made by Institutional Interiors, contingent on the school attorney, William E. Brewer, providing assurance the acceptance procedure for the bid is legally correct.
This contingency wording was made to determine if the withdrawal of the low bid from three bids meets the requirement of three basic bids, and also because there was a delay overnight in opening the bids due to a late receipt through mall of a certified check from the third bidder.
The low bid of $9,199 was rejected by Shoe on the basis that the quality of the furniture offered on the bid did not meet specifications set forth for the desired Items, plus the fact that the company. Learning Environments, has Informed Shoe by phone, to be followed up in writing, that it wishes to withdraw its bid.
Because of the involved complications resulting from the total situation, board members agreed that it would be wise to have a legal ruling before making a binding approval of the second low bid.
SupL Glenn Cox informed board members that two suits against the city schocris had been completed. In the case of Mrs. Janie Keyes, settlemait was made out of court with Mrs. Keyes being paid $5,500. This money comes from school funds, not from insurance coverage. The case of Mrs. Key was one (ConUniedoapage)

Annexation Hearing Set For Mar. 21
By STUART SAVAGE Reflector Staff Writer
The Greenville City Council last night voted to hold a public hearing March 21, on the question of annexing the North Greenville industrial property.
Councilman John Howard, who made the motion calling for the hearing said, regardless of how the council might vote, so much has been said, about the annexation proposal, that has been erroneous in nature. We need to get all the facts out and iron them out.
He emphasized that the matter should not be tabled. The council, he said should take some action.
City officials last week made known the fact that annexation of the industrial park was under consideration.
City Manager Jim Caldwell said annexation of the 963 acres was being studied as a way to raise additional revenue for operating funds and capital improvement projects.
Last night. Mayor Percy Cox said the council instructed the city manager to study various annexation proposals several months ago as a means of raising needed revenue and to provide
room for growth, noting that there now i.s le.ss than one square mile of land available for development within the city limits.
The newspaper got hold of it and ran a .story in the paper," Cox said, before any of the studies were complete.
There was nothing secret about it, he emphasized, adding that the Brook Valley area was also being considered for annexation.
As far as the Brook Valley areas is concerned, according to Cox, it would take 10 years to realize any revenue from that area. because of the costs involved in extending city services to that section. He noted that the industrial park area has some city services already,
"After several meetings and a whole lot of work," on the city's part, <^x indicated, the paper , well, several news medias," blew the proposals out of proportion.
We are going to be badly in need of funds, " Cox said, citing a number of improvement projects already in the planning stage. All of these things will have to come to a halt if we don't find some additional revenue.
There are so many things that have to be done if Greenville is
to continue to grow, the mayor noted.
Kmphasizing that the city is in good financial shape and not operat ing with a deficit as some people have indicated. Cox said some $6(X),(XJ0 in additional revenue will be needed to carry out the planned iniprovement program. A tax increase of 20-cents per $1(K) valuation would raise $660,000. The current city tax rate, the mayor noted, is64-centsper$100.
Council member Millie McGrath said the annexation study, started, as an orderly process to increase the tax base.
{'ouncilman Charles Vincent, who seconded the motion for the public hearing, said such a session would, let everything out in the open," and enable the council to. find out whats best for all the cit izens of this community.
Councilman Clarence Gray said, "I have some reservations about a public hearing, but I agree.. . with Howard.
Cox explained that if the industrial area is taken into the city, the annexation would become effective July 1.
The .March 21 hearing was set for 8 p.m. in the council chamber at City Hall.
Strike Shore Drive Project's Carter

By The Assoctoted Press
Power cutbacks are spreading and hundreds of thousands of workers face layoffs because of the national coal strike grinding into its 71st day with talks stalemated and President Carter refusing to order the miners back into the pits.
U.S. Labor Secretary Ray Marshall was to meet today with representatives of the Bituminous Coal Operators Association, the bargaining group for coal mine operators, to try to prod them toward new negotiations with the United Mine Workers.
But no date has been set for any formal resumption of talks.
President Carter has said he will not try to force miners back to their jobs by invoking the Taft-Hartley Act. which provides for an 80-day return to work if a strike poses a national emergency.
The miners have ignored three such court orders since 1948.
Mandatory power cutbacks were ordered in Indiana Monday and were put into effect in West Virginia last week. In both states, tens of thousands of workers faced the possibility of layoffs as early as this weekend.
Sections of northeastern Ohio expect power cuts of up to 50 percent by the end of the week, affecting the jobs of 300,000 workers.
Two western Pennsylvania power companies West Penn Power (3o. and Duquesne Light Co. will plead with state officials in Harrisburg today to be allowed to make mandatory electricity cuts. '
Virginias governor, John Dalton, warned he may soon have to order electricity rationed.
Two major automakers. Ford and Chrysler, warned of plant shutdowns within two weeks unless the coal strike ends immediately.
There seems little hope of a quick settlenlenl. Bargainers thought they had a deal last week, but when UMW President Arnold Miller presented the pact to the unions bargaining council for preliminary approval, he was met with bitter and almost unanimous opposition.
Iq the coalfields, miners continued to show that they arent going to make it easy for utilities to get what coal is being taken from non-union mines.
Two men were arrested near the entrance of a mine in Pike County, Ky., Monday and
charged in connection with throwing a brick through the windshield of a coal truck. In Vinton County. Ohio, two nonunion strip mines closed at the request of some 100 roving pickets.
The pickets told the mine owners that continued non-union mining was damaging chances of resolving the strike.

The Redevelopment (Commission. acting in response to a directive from the Department of Housing and Urban Development. authorized the execution of an agreement with the city regarding the delayed close-out of the Shore Drive project.
Reporting at Monday nights commission meeting, executive director Joe Laney explained that another development has occurr^ in the agencys long attempt to close out the Shore Drive program.
According to Laney, HUD has determined that since there will be excess funds left over from the Shore Drive project which will be turned over to the city for use in the Community Development program, the project will have to be closed out under CD procedures.
The procedures call ter the Redevelopment Commission and city to'mutually agree to close out the project. The agreement will then be forwarded to HUD for concurrence.
Laney said that the CD procedures are different from close out under the urban renewal guidelines in that the city becomes involved in the closing process. Under the CD close out

Fire Damages State Nursery
GOLDSBORO. N.C. (APi -Fire triggered by a massive bolt of lightning did an estimated $1 million damage to the Claridge State Forestry Nursery near Goldsboro Monday night.
The blaze was brought under control during the night by nine Wayne County volunteer fire companies.
Authorities estimated that the fire destroyed $500.000 worth of pine seedlings and that the destruction of the nurserys 18.000 square-foot tree packing and storage facility resulted in another $500.000 loss.
format, the city would agree to bear any future costs that may be incurred in regard to the project.
The commission action last night authorized the chairman to execute the required agreement for city consideration. City Council consideration will probably be given in March.
Word had been expected for some time from HUD on the final close out of the program as the commission felt that local requirements for the project had been met. .
The executive director reported that the developers of the lot at the comer of First and Pitt Streets have asked the commission for a waiver of the covenants for an apparent encroachment on the ten-foot setback requirements.
Laney explained that it has been a practice of the citys Inspection Department to $j^ude porches and steps from the setback provisions. The city approved plans for the Grier-Dunn building on the site on the basis of the exclusion practice, he
noted.
He added that the attorney who is arranging final financing on the building said that two porches on the structure encroach on the setback requirements. The practice of exclusion by the city is not spelled out in the pertaining city ordinance.
The commission authorized the waiver in order to conform with the city practices and urged the city, which is in the pnx;ess of rewriting the ordinance, to specify the exclusion in the regulations.
In other business, commissioners voted to deny a request by a property owner on Evans Street to purchase from the Redevelopment Commission additional frontage on Evans.
According to Laney, the commission earlier approached Ledyard Ross concerning the purchase of a severance on the frontoiParcel IZ-L presently occupied by the Burger Chef structure, in order to widen Evans Street.
In negotiating with Ross for the severance, he had asked that

the commission sell hirp 11,833 square feet adjoining the rear of his property in order to square off the irregularly shaped rear property line and provide additional parking. The severance involves 1,357 square feet on Evans, it was noted.
The Redevelopment staff had indicated to the owners that the sell and purchase arrangement was feasible and would recommend the matter to the commission and city for approval.
Laney said that the attorney for the property owner then asked that the owner be allowed to purchase an additional 20 feet on the south side of his property which would involve a portion of the right-of-way on Seventh Street and a portten of the former Smith property now owned by the commission.

Policy On Sinai Not New
WASHINGTON (AP) - Israeli accusations that the United States is siding with Egypt on the issue of Sinai settlements should have been made 10 years ago when the policy in question was set down, says President Carters chief spokesman.
White House press secretary Jody Powell said the United Slates was making the public reply after Israeli Foreign Minister Moshe Dayan charged the United States on Sunday with siding with Eg;^t in the Mideast dispute.
Israel claims Secretary of State Cyrus R. Vance dropped a new issue into the stalled peace initiative of Egyptian President Anwar Sadat by asserting Israeli settlements in the occupied Sinai Peninsula violate international law,
There is no contradiction between that position and any statement made by the president publicly or privately at any lime including (during) the visit of (Israeli) Prime Minister (Menachem) Begin to the United States last December. Powell told reporters on Monday. He said he spoke with Carters express approval.
Powell said the United States decided in September 1967 that Israeli settlements in the Sinai were contrary to law. That policy, he said, has not changed since it was set down only IbrcH? months after the end of the Six-Day War.
The Israeli cabinet joined Dayan' in expressing regret and protest over the Vance statement.

WASHINGTON (AP) - President Carter has decided on a Middle East warplane package that will give Egypt and Saudi Arabia some of the jets they seek, but deny Egypt the most sophisticated planes on its shopping list.
Carters plan was disclosed today by administration officials who said Israel will receive both F-15 and F-16 fighters to augment earlier deliveries
Egypt, which also had sought these sophisticated aircraft, will receive only F-5E fighters. Egypt had asked for up to 150 of these craft in addition to some of the more costly models that are being denied.
Saudi Arabia, the sources said, will be provided with F-15s.
An announcement of the proposed sales including the precise numbers involved was expected later when the White House formally submits the plan to Congress, which can veto the sales.
The F-15 is the U.S. Air Forces prime fighter plane. It is claimed to be the best fighter plane in the world and is manu-facturered by McDonnell-Douglas Corp.
The F-16. built by (Jeneral Dynamics Corp.. is a light weight, fighter that is cheaper than the F-15 and is to complement it. The F-16 is already being sold to four NATO countries. Norway, Denmark, Belgium and Holland. Iran also is interested in buying this plane.
The F-5. which is built by the Northrop Corp., is a much-less sophisticated fighter designed for foreign sale. About 25 countries have acquired the plane, which is not used by U.S. forces.
Gen. George Brown, the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, has said, I dont think any one in their right mind would try and fly an F-5 against either the F-15 or the F-16.

RALEIGH. N.C. (AP) - Authorities said today they found two briefcases full of money in large bills in the wreckage of a twin-engine plane that crashed Monday night short of the fog-shrouded runway at Raleigh-Durham Airport. killing four persons and seriously injuring two.

Rescuers found one survivor roughly too yards from the crash site and authorities said they believe he was attempting to get help. A second survivor was located iaside the plane.
The bodies of the victims were left in the plane overnight under orders of the Wake County medical examiner.
Identities of the victims and survivors have not been released.
Volunteer fireman Joe Harris, one of the first to reach the wreckage, said: It looks like it came strai^t down. There wasnt a line of trees down. It couldnt ,have twered any more than 25 or 30 yards when it first started hitting the trees and came down. The planes just tom all to pieces.
The only thing that was left was the last half of the fuselage, Harris said.

WAYCROSS, Ga. (AP) - A plane carrying about 2,700 pounds of marijuana was seized after an off-duty deputy sheriff stood in front of the aircraft and pointed a riot gun at one of the tires until the pilot gave up. officers said.
Ware County Sheriff W. E. Strickland said the pilot, Robert Thomas Brown, 30, of Pine-ville, N.C., was being held on $100,000 bond on state drug charges after he was arrested at the Waycross airport Monday by Chief Deputy W. T. Cady.
Strickland said the plane ap- parently had just arrived in the United States when it was intercepted by Cady. He said the marijuana was believed to be from Jamaica and was thought to carry a street value of $46,5 a pound.
Cady, a pilot, was off duty and was working on his own plane when he became suspicious of the twin-engine Lockheed Lodestar, which stopped at the airport to refuel, the sheriff said.
"Wed been looking for this blue and white plane that had been flying in and out of here," Strickland said, adding that Cady noticed blue plastic had been taped over the plane's window, apparently to obscure the pilots face.
"Hes a pretty suspicious type of fellow anyway," Strickland said of his deputy. He stepped up to the pilot and introduced himself as a police officer. The pilot jumped back in the plane and began trying to start it.
Cady got a riot gun from his car and pointed it at one of the planes tires. The pilot had one of the engines going and he was trying to start the other engine, Strickland continued.
"Cady told him to shut the engine down and get out, and he did

Cites Costly Loss To Heart Diseases
Business and industry in the United States will lose over 50 million man-days in production in 1978 as a result of heart and blood vessel diseases, according to Ron Dale, Business Day chairman of the Pitt County Heart Asj^iation.
The lost wages and medical expenses from heart disease will cost Americans an estimated $28.5 billion. Besides this, he added that heart and blood vessel diseases may claim $24,000 in North Carolina alone.
"The problem is especially significant for men between 45 and 64," added Dale. This age group comprises business most valuable executives, managers, and employees. The loss of key personnel and their skills, plus the cost of training replacements, are factors no business person can afford to overlook."
Business Day for Heart was held last Tuesday, but more than .50 volunteer workers, including business personnel and the members of the Alpha Phi sorority, are still soliciting contributions from the business community in behalf of the Pitt C.ounty Heart Association.

This mixing of genetic material creates organisms with different characteristics than either parent" organism.
Many scientists say the technique opens up new opportunities for studying the nature of life and holds promise for making new drugs and mass producing rare biological material for treating disease.
Critics of t|ie work say it could produce virulent new strains of disease organisms for which there is no defense and may create tools for unscrupulous tinkering with human heredity.
Some recent research indicates recombinant DNA work may not be as potentially dangerous as previously believed, and some former critics and legislators have questioned the need for government regulation.
Recombinant DNA research funded by the federal government falls under safety guidelines established by the National Institutes of Health. But nongovernmental research is not covered by the guidelines, although many industrial groups doing the work have agreed to voluntary compliance.
former Bell executive John J. Ryan of Charlotte, the first person to make public allegations of a political slush fund at .Southern Bell.
Mecklenburg County District Attorney Peter Gilchrist, who had directed a three-year probe of Southern Bell, hailed the companys plea as a guilty plea by a subsidiary of the worlds largest corporation."
The company released a statement saying it admitted to misapplication of funds from 1971 to 1973, but those actions were "in violation of a longstanding policy of Southern Bell against any use of corporate funds for political purposes.
The company, which thwarted prosecution of 11 executives in 1976 by taking responsibility for their actions, said Southern Bells board of directors and top officials did not know of the violations and stopped them immediately when they found out.
Under the state law. Southern Bell can be fined at the discretion of the court.
A sentencing hearing was set for Wednesday morning and Gilchrist said detailed evidence against the company would be presented.
The state will present via a (State Bureau of Investigation) agent all of the same testimony we would have presented during a trial, Gilchrist said, adding that the presentation could last more than one day.
Ryan, who was head of Southern Bell operations in North Carolina until he was fired in 1973. still faces charges of fraud, embezzlement and conspiracy.

Justasen Trial Is Continued
The trial of Aage A. Justesen, charged with the machine-gun killing of Greenville grocery store operator Henry Bunton in iieptember 1977, was continued until March 13 in Pitt County Superior Court yesterday.
' Judge Robert Browning ordered the case continued after defense attorneys said they needed more time to prepare their case. Justesens lawyers earlier indicated they would contend that the 52-year-old Denmark native was temporarily insane at the time his former business partner was gunned down.
corporation could maneuver the courts the leave me in total exile as a corporate prisoner of war and walk away with assets in the billions." Ryan said Monday.
I am determined to have my day in court. The truth must come out. If I sleep on a park bench Im going to wait for my day in court. My day will come, he said.
Prosecutors said they had made no decision on his case.
Of course I think we will take into consideration what happened today, said Joe Dozier. an assistant district attor-ney.
State agencies worked with Gilchrist on the investigation and Attorney General Rufus Edmisten said Special Prosecutor Lester V. Chalmers of Edmistens ffice had been directed to work with Gilchrist to "tell the public as much as possible. about evidence gathered in the case.
The company arrived at an agreement with prosecutors despite the fact that it still questioned the validity of the charges. Walker said.
"What were saying is that if this law is applicable, then were guilty of violating it. I personally dont think it is applicable. Weve argued about that before and the judge ruled against us. Walker said.
Prospective jurors for a trial sal inatiently in a courtroom while lawyers from both sides met for about three hours Monday morning and again briefly Monday afternoon.
Prosecutors had been prepared for a trial. Gilchrist said.
Several prominent political figures in North Carolina were subpoenaed for the trial, but all subpoenas were dropped after
the company entered its plea.
None of the politicians named in the subpot'nas showed up for the court session Monday but some .Southern Bell officials, including company president L.E. Hast, were in Charlotte for the session.
Edmisten said he hoped .Southern Bell would gel a hefty fine becau.se "this office has literally expended thoasands upon thousands of dollars investigating this case and attempting to prosecute,
He estimated a "ballpark figure of $2(X),(KK) .spent on the investigation and prosecution.
"Thats not really the point. The point is. somewhere, some
one had to take responsibility in this case." Edmisten said.
Ryan launched federal and state probes into Southern Bell three years ago. when he told reporters he had operated a political slush fund in the company.
Southern Bell operates in North Carolina, South Carolina, (iwrgia and Florida.

Former WAAC Recently Scored Minor Victory
By GEORGE W. HACKETT Anodated Pratt Writer
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) - Is Uncle Sam discriminating against members of the original Womens Army Auxiliary Corps?
Its sad but true, claims Juanita Knipp. Were the forgotten GIs of World War II. We did our part but they refuse to award us all the benefits available to other veterans.
Mrs. Knipp donned the khaki uniform of the WAAC in 1943 end was sent to Ft. Oglethorpe, Ga., for basic training. After it was over, 1 was assigned to a desk job so that a man could be freed for combat.
She thought she had enlisted for the duration of the war.
I had been on active duty about seven months when the government decided to change the WAAC to the Womens Army Corps. We were given a
choice of staying in or leaving.
Mrs. Knipp accepted an honorable discharge and came home. 1 felt I had done my part for the country and if the need ever arose, I would have my veterans benefits to fall back on.
It was a bad assumption.
In September 1969, she attempted to obtain treatment at a Veterans Administration hospital here and was told we dont recognize your discharge papers. You didnt serve in the military. You have no rights. Shocked by the refusal, Mrs. Knipp picked up her pen and began writing various congressmen for help. The letter and telephone campaign have been going on nearly nine years and Mrs. Knipp recently scored a minor victory.
I finally got the Veterans Administration to admit that

Believes Kids Need Whipping
By Abigail Van Buren
1878 by ChlcbQO Trlbun.N.Y. Nw( Synd. Inc
DEAR ABBY; I just saw you on the Phil Donahue show, and I must say I think you are dead wrong to say that children do not have to be whipped to learn right from wrong.
I was one of 10 kids, and believe me, if our father didnt take us out to the woodshed when we lied or stole or even talked back to him, we never would have grown up to be honest, decent, law-abiding citizens. (Only one of us ever went to jail, and one out of 10 isnt bad.)
I raised my kids the same way, and its not always pleasant to have to whip a kid with a belt. But if he knows what hes getting whipped for, hes not likely to do it again.
Its the results that count, Abby, and kids dont understand anything but a good firm hand, to please dont go on television anymore and say that violence begets violence and when you hit a kid it just means youve run out of words. Sign this
A MAN FROM OMAHA
DEAR MAN: My stand on hitting children brought an amazing number of letters from those who saw me on the iPhll Donahue show, but the majority of letters were in agreement with me. Read on:
DEAR ABBY: I am the mother of two small boys, and when the question of spanking came up on the Phil Donahue show and you said you were AGAINST hitting children, I was very happy.
I was spanked (they were more like beatings) by my mother when I was a child, and I can remember hating her and feeling guilty because I knew that children are supposed to love their parents.
I am still trying to work out my hang-ups from that, and I am trying hard not to repeat it with my children.
I am a lay-therapist to abusive parents, and I learned in my training that most parents who abuse their children were once themselves abused by their parents, and the cycle goes on and on.
With the Parents Anonymous program, we hope that cycle of child-beating will be broken.
Im,with you 100 percent: Physically abusing children only teaches them to fear, hate and desire to get even.
My hat is off to you!
COLORADO MOTHER
DEAR ABBY: There is no reason for doctors waiting rooms to be constantly crowded with patients who sit for hours because theyre afraid if they leave for a few minutes theyll lose their turn.
In Sweden they give numbers to patients as they come in. If your number is, say, 30, you know you have time to go out and do something else.
Why dont they do that here?

DEAR T.C.: 'They do. In bakeries. (Smart cookies?)

former WAACs - and there are about 800 of us still alive are eligible for hospitalization, a place in a retirement home, or a military funeral if we want one.
These concessions wouldnt have been possible without the work done'by my congressman, Ron Mazzoli, who must have put the heat on somebody in Washington. He sent me a letter outlining the benefits that were going to be available and when I showed it to the VA they gave in.
But the 55-year-old crusader isnt satisfied.
She points out that other veterans can obtain an education or a home loan, and we cant. Its not fair. How can anyone look upon us as civilians? We did everything but carry a gun. And we would have been glad to pick up one if it were necessary to help protect this nation.
Adding fuel to her argument is a recent congressional decision to grant full GI benefits, retroactive to World War II, to all members of the Womens Air Force Service Pilots. It was a civilian group attached to the Army Air Force.
Im very happy for these ladies, said Mrs. Knipp. I think they should be recognized. So should we.
Two years ago. Congress killed a bill which would have granted equal privileges to the WAACs. Now, theres another floating around in the House of Representatives and Mrs. Knipp is looking for volunteers to work for passage of the legislation.

What are you going to be when you grow up?
Ive seen mothers lean over a crib and hold a hand no bigger than an Alka-Seitzer tablet and ask the question.
Ive seen grandmothers ask it of a child who couldnt walk under a coffee table without hitting his head.
Ive seen teachers pose the question of children who cant color in the lines.
Wouldnt it be great if growing up and being something occurred on the same day?
My childrens ambitions read like the yellow pages of a Manhattan phone book. One wanted to be a doctor until he discovered you had to wash up to the elbows.
One wanted to be the Pope until he figured out you had to work Sundays.
Another wanted to be a real estate man so he could play on steps all day long.
What are you going to be when you grow up? The pressures of knowing became so important that a generation of kids took off in the 60s to try to make some sense out of it. They couldnt.
Most sit in the middle of their
beds surrounded by college catalogues and wonder, Where do I fit? They listen to career specialists and try to imagine themselves in any one of the niches. Am I aiming too high? Too low?
Like Pippin, they are all special.
One of my kids wanted to be the President, but he didnt want to work out of his home.
One wanted to go to sea in a fishing boat, but he refused to wear boots for anybody.
One wanted to be a mother, ^ut she was forever watching her weight.
We act like we are on a timetable. The day after graduation we roll out of bed and say, Well, here 1 am all grown up and a physicist right on schedule.
Maturity is a time when you begin to know yourself. Who you are, what you are, and what you can be.
The other day I heard a visitor say to our college son, What are you going to be when you grow up?
He said With a lot of luck... old.
Hes getting there.

Wood Burning Stoves
Consumers have shown a revival of Interest in wood burning stoves since energy conservation has become the main topic of conversation. It Is easy to bum wood if a family has it available, but to bum it efficiently is difficult. Wood, unlike No. 2 fuel oil.or natural gas, is a very inconsistent source of heat. Each cord of wood may have numerous variables and different properties. The following factors help to explain why wood is an inconsistent source of heat:
1. Different species of wood have difficult densities and resins; therefore, they burn with different intensities and give off different amounts of heat per cord of fuel.
2., The varying amount of moisture content of wood causes wood to give off different amounts of heat and form different levels of creosote.
3. Wood is cut in different sizes and shapes.
Selecting a wood stove is at best something of a gamble. There are few reliable test data on which to base a choice according to Everett Prosise, Specialist in Housing and House Furnishings, N.C. State University, Raleigh, N.C. To eliminate some of the guesswork, the following featres and information should be taken into consideration by the serious user of a wood-burning stove:
1. Wood capacity of the stove
2. Method in which the stove is joaded (front, end, etc.)
3. Maximum length of wood the stove can bum

More Recreation Dept. Space
MAKES YOU WONDER WHATS GOING ON!
S(xm more space will be available to the city Recreation Department for use in its programs.
The space will be in the old educational building of the former Memorial Baptist Church property on Greene Street.
The city purchased the pit^rty from the church when Memorial Baptist moved to new facilities on Greenville Boulevard.
The old sanctuary was tom down, but the newer education building was retained.
Since then the facility has been used as a Senior Citizens Center and for the city schools Extended School Program.
It was recognized that the Extended School Program would be moved out of the building and Siq>t. . of City Schools Glenn Cox notified the Recreation Commission last week that Feb. 27 is the tentative date for moving.
Following that the Recreation Department plans to make the second floor into a center for arts and crafts activities. Programs will be expanded and offered five days a week.
The additional space will permit improvements in an important part of the recreation program and consequently provide new opportunities for local citizens.

Birth Certificate Clue
ByBnXNQBUTT
CHAPEL HILL - Researchers comparing information from birth certificates with later perfomnance by the child have come to a significant conclusion:
Children destined to do poorly in schooland most likely throughout lifecan be identified at birth. That gives years of lead time to correct the condition before school failures frustrate the child and compound the problems.
Since 1968, North Carolina has required that birth certificates include information about both the mother and the child.
The mothers highest grade level completed In school, how early in her pregnancy she began receiving prenatal medical care, the number of weeks her pregnancy lasted, the number of her previous children who later died, and the number of children who died before birth are recorded.
Information on the child indues race, sex, weight, and legitimacy.
These facts now routinely
THE INSIDE REPORT
recorded on all birth certificates may actually foretell the childs future, an 18-month study by the Frank Porter Graham Child Development Center concludes.
TheStuty
The study was funded ($67,000) by the N.C. Department of Human Resources, and conducted by the Child Development Institute of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
A team led by Dr. Craig Ramey, director of research at the child development center, studied 1,000 first-graders across the state.
Each birth certificate was examined, while the children were evaluated on four different testsvocabulary, hand and eye coordination, teacher ratings on classroom behavior, and experiences which prepared the child for school
'Re performance of the child by those measures, and the birth certificate facts were then statistically related. Researchers explain that while the performance
measures alone do not prove human capacity, they add up to valuable predictors. If a child does poorly in the measures, Ramey points out, the chances are he will fail in school, and the failures will extend throughout life.
NOBUTT
Combining test results and birth certificate facts led researchers to conclude that the most important predictorsin order of importanceare race, mothers education, and whether the child attended preschool or kindergarten training.
Specifically: A child who is black, bom of a relatively uneducated mother, and lacking in prior educational experiences is much more likely to be behind his classmates in the first grade.
Severity Researchers continued to analyze the data, attempting
to nail down how severe the risk would be of failure, and how other factors relate.
The study determined that between 10 and 16 percent of all first-graders in the state fall in a moderate risk category; likely to be black, bom later than their brothers and sisters, underweight at birth, and illegitimate. The mothers were not well educated and began prenatal care late in pregnancy. Those were children who scored in the bottom 16 per cent on one of the tests.
Those who scored at the bottom in all four tests were said to be severe riskssharing the outlined factors, with two additional: a lack of educational experiences before the first grade, and a brother or a sister who died after birth. Almost three per cent of the first-graders are at severe risk.
Researchers emphasize that the results do not imply that race causes the problems, but that economic and social results of race produce circumstances leading to problems.
California's Tax Revolt
By ROWLAND EVANS
and ROBERT NOVAK
SACRAMENTO. Calif. -The long anticipated tax revolt has become a nightmare reality in the nations most populous state, terrifying California politicians and spreading prenrKNiitory chills across the country.
Taxpayers elsewhere are reduced to grumbling over taxes; Californians can actually do something, thanks to the initiative" system a vestige of the progressive era that puts legislative questions to the states voters at every election. In the May 6 primary, voters here will have a chance to pass a constitutional amendment reducing property taxes to 1 per cent of market value. That radical step, yielding $7 billion in instant tax relief, would pass overwhelmingly today.
Nor is there confidence the tide can be turned in less than three months, confronting politicians with the utter collapse of governmental financing. Having reacted to the
wailing of taxpayers with cool indifference, elected officials now face tax revolt in all its fury.
The basic cause of rebellion is inflation, vtdiich forcteds tax payments federal, state and local in what amount to annual tax increases. NowtiCTe is this more painful than in California where the inflated real estate market has produced a steadily escalating and fre-t quently regressive property

C/ Some California homes purchased for $50,000 a decade ago now have risen so sharp in market value that the property tax totals $5,000 a year, more than $400 a month. Because of inexorable real estate inflation, that tax goes up annually. If the homeowners income is falling. as with many older taxpayers. hardship is intens.
Consequently, an antiproperty tax constitutional amendment, peddled for years without success by a 74-year-old right-wing Republican activist named Howard Jarvis, suddenly

found a readymade constituency. Without help from professional petition circulators. Jarvis collected 1.5 million signatures (three times the number needed) with ease. There is no doubt about massive public support for the Jarvis amendment today.
In contrast, scarcely any respectable California politician supports the proposal. Even former Los Angeles police chief Edward Davis, seeking the Republican nomination for governor, has dismayed his conservative supporters by refusing to back it. Like more conventional politicals, Davis points out the chaos of $7 billion revenue loss.
'Diis gap between politician and public is typified by one prominent California Republican. As a pditician, he views the Jarvis amendment as the ultimate in dmagoguery and publicly oppc^ it. But as a voter, what will he do May 6? Hell, he replied, chuckling, 1 think Ill vote for it.
'Thoughtful state government officials privately admit they cannot blame any Californian for supporting the Jarvis amendment. In the words of one state bureaucrat, How can we justify sitting on $6 billion while ordinary working people have to pay $200 a month or more in property tax?
Sitting on $6 billion refers to the states average
not maximum daily cash balance in 1977, which never dipped below $4 billion. The surplus at years end was estimated by fiscal experts for Gov. Edmund G. Brown Jr. at $3 billion (though other state officials privately call this a gross underestimate). But even accepting the $3 billion surplus, why did Brown and the legislature fail to turn part of it back to hard-pressed taxpayers long ago?
The answer lies in the sad reality that tax relief has far lower priority for officeholders than it deserves. Not until the Jarvis amendment appeared did either Brown or the legislature push hard for badly needed property tax relief. Even with the critical need for passage of property tax relief to forestall Jarvis, Brown has not been able to unravel a legislative deadlock.
That may be because the true priority for tax relief remains low. The governor stressed to us the need for a prudent reserve and, in football-coach fashion, tacks on his office bulletin board newspaper clippings of gloomy financial forecasts. So he limits relief to $1 billion
scarcely enough to stave off Jarvis.
Accordingly, the political establishment warns the Jarvis amendment would force massive new sales or income tax levies. But Jarvis himself rebutted that with fiendish ef-(CootiiiuedoapageS)

The downtown parking situation becomes worse all the time, and when Court is in session, is practically impossible.
The mall is attractive. It seemed to be a wise, forward-looking move to prevent further urban decay as our city grows. I felt good that we had such good planning in our city. But probably the mall will soon prove to have been a useless expenditure, with more and more shopping centers and soon a mall opening on the edges of the city.
As it is, there is already too much downtown area paved and metered. These areas are unsightly and completely inadequate. Many of the meters fail to work properly. It is discouraging to shoppers, office workers and other downtown visitors to try to have enough correct change and to try to get to the meter to feed it before expiration time.
I was discouraged to read that City Council voted Dec. 1 to abandon plans for a parking garage where the old NCNB building had been. This space is filled with another unsightly lot with meters and no trees or shrubs. The long view would seem to favor the parking garage: less need to pave more land, no meters but a marked ticket, , arid probably better income than from meters. Local and out-of-town shoppers would doubtless feel more relaxed about shopping downtown. The meter maids could be employed to be in the booth to collect drivers tickets and fees. Such a garage would encourage clients and diners and office workers and shoppers and others who transact important business and spend valuable dollars to continue to use the downtown area, and keep it alive and profitable.
As the center of a growing region, Greenville should maintain a vital and well-rounded downtown, while others parts of the town are developing.

grateful heart. The work is the Statistical Abstract of the United States, 1977 edition, 1,048 pages, $11 in cloth and $8.50 in paper. A bargain at any price.
This years edition provokes a comment and raises a question. The comment is that the more things change, the more they change. And the question is, how did our government ^t so nosy?
This is the 98th edition of the Abstract. With every passing year, the. editors compile a little more information. This time around, they have provided us with a raft of statistics having to do with new lifestyles and attitudes of the population. The data* will give you something to think about.
Illegitimacy, for one thing, seems to have become epidemic. As recently as 1965, government statisticians counted 291,0(X) births to unmarried women, for a rate of 7.7 percent of all births. Just ten years later, the numbers were 447,900 and 14.2 percent. Fifty-ei^t percent of these births were to black mothers. Eleven thousand babies were bom to mothers under the age of 15 double the number ten years ago.
For the first time, the Abstract offers some data on legal abortions. Between 1972 and 1974, these averaged
643.000 per year. A more recent estimate for 1976 indicates more than a million abortions in that year. New York reported 624 abortions for every 1,000 live births. Californias rate was 448 per
1.000 live births and Washington States 412. In the country as a whole, one out of every four pregnancies now ends in abortion.
About 70 percent of the abortions are performed upon married women. By coincidence, this is almost exactly the percentage of married women using contraceptives. The Abstracts Table 90 reports in some detail on preferred methods of contraception. Among both white and black women, the pill is most widely used.

Mileage

By JAMES H. PHILLIPS Associated Press Writer
WASHING'TON (AP) - The Environmental Protection Agency is beginning to act on complaints from disappointed new car owners who say EPA mileage estimates stuck on the shiny, clean car windows are inflated by as much as 14 percent.
The EPA is ready to change the mileage estimates after conceding its figures are seldom achieved under normal driving conditions.
The EPA ratings should reflect what drivers can reasonably expect to achieve on the road, EPA Administrator Douglas Costle said on Monday in announcing plans to revise the estimates.
EPA conceded errors of from 7 percent to 14 percent on the high side, and Costle said that is too much. Some individual car owners claim the errors are even larger.
Weve received a lot of consumer complaints that customers are not getting the mileage our tests indicat, said PA spokesman Marlin Fitzwater.
The agency is considering three proposals to bring figures into line with reality:
Publishing only one figure instead of the three currently listed. Listings now give mileage estimates for city driving, highway driving and combined city and highwy driving. The city driving figure is considered the best since it most closely corresponds to the average mileage that most drivers are experiencing. the EPA said.
Listing the three figures, but lowering the estimates by 10 percent to 25 percent for each category.

Industry, Energy Is Penalized
ByJOHNCUNNIFF AP Business Analyst
NEW YORK (AP) - To Henry George, the social reformer, the present method of taxation ... operates upon energy, and industry, and skill, and thrift, like a fine upon those qualities.
What irked George a century ago was that contributions to production were taxed, but deductions from it were not. The incentives, he suggested, were the reverse of what they should be. For instance;
If I have worked harder and built myself a good house while you have been contented to live in a hovel, the tax-gatherer now comes annually to make me pay a penalty for my energy and industry, by taxing me more than you.
The words were recalled the other day, which in itself is nothing of note. But of
significance was the forum, the Tax Foundations Tax Review, and the source of the citation. C. Lowell Harriss.
The foundation is hardly one to espouse the ideas of a man who contributed so much to socialist thinking, as George did, nor is Harriss, a tax scholar, inclined to bother with impractical ideas.
Still, said Harriss, The potential merits are sufficiently promising to justify further attention. Much is at stake.
Such as the very survival of cities, in which parking lots are encouraged 1^ low taxes but improved structures that provide jobs and a tax base are forced to assume the burden..
That at any rate seems to be the increasingly widespread view of people concerned with the future of the cities. It is a view shared by many p.rivate
homeowners, who claim their burden has grown too heavy.
If I have saved, while you wasted, I am mulct, while you are exempt, wrote (George. If a man builds a ship we make him pay for his temerity, as though he had done an injury to the state.
George restated his theme in various ways. We punish with a tax the man who covers barren fields with ripening grain, he wrote. We fine him who puts up machinery, and him who drains a swamp.
Harriss agrees with the perspective, which is bound to give encouragement to the followers of George, who have over the years maintained their courage while their viewpoints were Ignored.
The message remains valid and to a multiple, says Harriss. Todays income taxes have incentive effects which are fo(4ish.
inhumane, anti-social, and destructive of the good things we seek.
An alternative deserves discussion, says Harriss. People would be taxed and at pro^-essive rates on their expenditures rather than on their income. Savings would be encouraged. Capital-raising would be enhanced.
'The federal governments direct tax under this system would fall on a familys, or an individuals, total expenditures during the year, says Harriss. rather than on what they earn, which presumably is for their contribution to production. Harris continues; The present perversity of Incentives heavier tax for doing nwre of what others desire would be discarded. Greater tax would come from getting more (rather than giving more) in goods and services.
Four Wrecks In
City Yesterday
An estimated J4,175 property damage resulted from a series of four traffic mishaps investigated yesterday by Greenville Police.
Heaviest damage resulted from a 6:45 p.m. mishap at the intersection of Greenville Boulevard and 14th Street involving cars driven by Norman Warren Wilkerson of 208 Commerce St., and Stephen John Saieed of 105 Cheshire Dr.
Officers, who charged Saieed with failing to stop for a stop light, estimated damage at $600 to the Wilkerson car and $1,200 to the Saieed vehicle.
Gus Symmes Coats of Brunswick. Ga., was charged with failing to see his intended movement could be made in safety following investigation of a 7 a.m. collision on Memorial Drive, 1,200 feet South of the Village Drive intersection.
Investigators reported the Coats car collided with an auto operated by Jos^hine Prances Difalco, causing $400 damage to the Difalco car and $1,200 damage to the Coats auto.

ficiency over television the other day, pointing to fine print in his amendment that requires a two-thirds vote in the legislature to raise taxes.
The $7 billion in tax relief, then, may have to be absorbed somehow by cutting supposedly uncuttaUe state and local budgets, slashing away at s^posedly indispensable services supposedly demanded by taxpayers. Such a fascinating prospect is why that prominent Republican publicly refers to the Jarvis amendment as demagogic while privately admitting he may well vote for it.
Bartlett of 208 North Longmeadow Rd. and Cynthia Marie Elizabeth Strohofer of 405 Biltmore St. collided about 8:45 a.m. on 14th Street, 75 feet East of the Charles Street intersection, resulting in an estimated $400 damage to the Bartlett car and $50 damage to the Strohofer vehicle.
Police reported a car owned by John Robert Perry of 111 Avon La., rolled from his driveway about 8:15 p.m. and collided with a parked car owned by Christopher Wells Hargett of 110 Avon La.
Damage was estimated at $75 to the Perry car and $250 to the Hargett vehicle.

and substituting a comparison index, putting a cars fuel economy on a sliding scale from one to 10, with top performing cars receiving a .10 rating.
The new ratings would first appear on 1979 model cars, EPA said.
In the past, EPA has defended its figures by saying they are good for comparison purposes. A car listed as providing 20 miles per gallon will give a consumer twice the fuel economy as a car listed as getting 10 miles per gallon, regardless of driving habits, EPA spokesmen have argued.
Part of the reason for the disparity between EPA estimates and consumer driving experiences, EPA says, is mile age tests do not take into account cold weather, bad roads, higher-than-legal speeds and poor maintenance.
Regardless, said Costle, We will do everything we can to adjust the testing procedures and the way we develop the miles-per-gallon , ratings to make them as close as possible to real world conditions.

in the past eight years.
Syphilis has declined dramatically over the past decade, but the incidence of gonorrhea has more than tripled, from 325,000 reported cases in 1965 to one million in 1975. Alcoholism is on the rise among both men and women. The number of unmarried couples living together has more than doubled in the past six years.
Some of the most startling social changes of the past decade have occurred in the area of public welfare. Back in 1965, which was not so very long ago, total public expen
ditures on welfare were placed at $77.2 billion. The comparable figure for 1976 was $331.4 billion. In 1965 we spent 11.7 percent of the gross national product on public welfare; now it is 20.6 percent. In constant dollars (at the 1976 rate), we spent $664 per capita on welfare in 1965; we spent $1,514 a decade later.
The number of persons on welfare has greatly increased. In 1965, government agencies counted 1.1 million families with a total of 4.4 million recipients. The figures have just about tripled since then. The number of persons classified as permanently disabled has jumped from 600,000 to 2
million.
Not surprisingly, these social changes have wrought remarkable changes in the federal budget. In 1965 we were spending 41 percent of the total budget on defense. That had dropped to 24.6 percent by 1976. It has dropped a little bit more since then. The big increase, manifestly, has gone into public welfare, health, education and Social Security payments. Government at every level is taking a slowly increasing percentage of the peoples wealth.
Most of these changes are generally if not precisely recognized. It is the swift rate of change that startles and dismays the casual reader.
Many of the old virtues chastity, fidelity, continence, family responsibility clearly are slipping away from the respected place they once occupied in the American ethos, In their place we are getting different values or nonvalues. None of this necessarily spells twilight for the American empire, but in terms of the old ways it is later than we think.

NEW YORK (AP) - The stock market declined broadly today, following the lead of a continued slump by the dollar in foreign exchange.
The noon Dow Jones avera^ of .30 industrials was down 6.59 at 767.84.
liosers outnumbered gainers by more than a 2-1 margin among New York Stock Exchange-listed issues.
The dollar lost ground against leading foreign currencies for the second day in a row. Analysts noted uneasiness over reports that the United States and West Germany had failed to agree on a strategy designed to stabilize the dollar.
Another drag on the market was word from some analysts that recent signals suggested that the governments index of leading economic indicators, which has risen for six consecutive months, might be headed for a downturn.
The index is designed to signal the likely future course of the economy.
Archer-Daniels-Midi and topped tha active list, down at 15'H. A share block traded at 15.
The NYSEs composite index of all its listed common stocks lost .32 to 49.58. On the American Stock Exchange, the market value index was off .21 at 124.20.

The board voted to deny the request for the additional 12 feet of right-of-way and eight feet off the Smith property since It was felt adequate frontage was available on the present Burger Chef lot. The Smith property frontage only involves 94 feet and a reduction in the frontage would reduce the utility of the parcel, it was noted,
The City Council voted at its last meeting to close the portion of Seventh Street from Evans to Dickinson Avenue. In closing the street, the right-of-way reverts back to property owners on both sides of the street.
Ernest Adams was qualified by the board as a bidder on Disposal Parcel J-8 in the Southside area, located on Wyatt Street between Pitt Street and the railroad.

The commissioners commended Adams for the rehabilitation jobs he has completed in the area.
Reynolds May qualified as a bidder on Disposal Parcel Q-4, located on McClellan Street north of Elks Street, containing 5,000 square feet. May has developed other property adjoin
ing the parcel and he indicated plans to locate a house on the lot if he is the successful bidder.

Under the adopted method, the commission will pay the actual amount filed for unemployment claims under a reimbursement system.
Seniors Club Has Adopted New Name

The suit by three residents who want to take part in the program claims town officials haven't enrolled the town in it because they want to keep the town segregated.
The program provides payments to landlords who make housing available to poor people, who choose the housing themselves.

jected to loss of immunity from being sued. He cited as the most typical claims in suits those involving labor associations, budget deficits, dismissal of nontenured teachers, arguments over hair cuts and dress standards for students, and claims of favoritism by boards to con-stmction companies.
The policy for the Greenville City Schools, Goodson said, is the best type available one he termed a blanket or Coverage A type applicable to school personnel or board members who were, now. or will be subject to suits.
Highlights of the open meeting law as presented by Brewer took note of the confusion currently existing in North Carolina due to no provision being made in the statute for advance notification of meetings in news media. Brewer emphasized that generally, all meetings are to be open to the public with the exception of certain subjects which by law can be discussed and acted on in closed (or executive) session.
On the subject of workshop meetings, such as those held for analyzing budget requirements prior to a regular board meeting at which budgets are acted on, Brewer recommends that such meetings be considered special meetings and that public notification be made. Brewer stated it is his opinion that legally, workshop sessions are considered open meetiiags in that they are part of a decision making process. He said this was also the opinion of the N. C. In^ stitute of Government.
Touching on closed meetings, board members asked Brewer to give them a reading on the 'legality of having a person requesting a hearing to state in writing whether it was desired to have such a hearing on a personal type matter be conducted in a public meeting or in closed session. It is their thinking that such a signed statement of preference would preclude a person at a later date making a claim that a decision was reached in an off-handed manner in some back room for which no record exists. The law provides that official minutes are not required for action taken in closed sessions on personnel matters of y . , , a ^confidential nature, or for

A workshop session on school board liability, open meeting law. and conflict of interest law was conducted for members of the Greenville City Board of Education at a special meeting held Monday night.
Joe Goodson. of Goodson and Flanagan Insurance Agency reported on school board liability, and William C. Brewer. Jr., attorney for the city schools, discussed all three topics under review.
In reviewing the status of school board liability, Goodson explained that the current liability policy in effect for board members and school staff provides a $1,000,000 coverage for an annual premium of$905.
Goodson said the purpose of a liability policy is to provide indemnity for any loss that might arise from claims brought in court actions against an individual employed by the school or against the school board collectively.
Goodson noted that liability policies for school personnel and school boards in North Carolina was becoming common as more governing bodies have been sub-
Scrapping Crime Files
WASHINGTON (AP) - The Justice Department is getting rid of a computerized intelligence file containing the names of thousands of suspected crime syndicate racketeers and details about their lives.
Department sources said the racketeer profiles, compiled from FBI reports, are being purged from the computer because officials concluded the information was of little value in prosecuting organized crime cases.
Besides, said one official involved in the decision, data banks kind of scare me a little
ing of teachers from among family members of school staff or board personnel did not constitute a conflict of interest, as such hiring is based on certain qualifications for a set salary which is a matter of public record.

D. H. Conley scored the first 10
points in the ballgame and then survived a couple of scares by the Ladybirds before pulling away in the second half.
Southern Nash, which shot a pitiful seven for 46 in the game (15.2 per cent), found itself 'behind 10-0 at the end of the first quarter, but pulled to 10-4 In the second period and trailed by a 12-6 score at the half.
The Valkyries barely shot little better from the field, 14 of 57 for 24.6 per cent, but Annie Wooten and Teresa Mills each scored four points in the third quarter as Conley built up a 22-9 lead atthe2:58mark.
Two buckets by Southern Nashs Dale Winstead heiped cut the lead to 23-13 going into the fourth quarter, but Wooten and Miriam Paramore connected early in the period for a 27-24 Conley lead to put the game out of reach.
Valkyrie coach Norma Respess termed the game
sorry. She was disappointed in the play of her team and said. Ill give them one excuse: Im sure theyre tired, because 1 am. The team has played three games a week for the past 14 days.
Respess, who said she was glad to get a chance to play her entire team, indicated the Valkyries should play better for the rest of the tournament. They seem to get up better for the bi^er teams, she said. The Ladybirds were 1-20 coming into the game.
Looking to the Valkyries next encounter, Respess said North Pitt can give Conley a real tough game. She added, "Im just glad the first ones over.
Wooten was the high scorer for Conley with 12 points and the only player in the game to reach double figures. ,

was by far the best last night as North Pitts girls battled Ayden-Grifton closely all the way before pulling out a 34-30 victory in the final seconds.
The higher-seeded Chargeret-tes led only once in the game at 4-2, but pulled to a tie several times in the fourth quarter.
North Pitt got a follow shot from Kim Sharpe to tie the game at 4-4 and then scored on baskets by Geraldine Dixon and Barbara Morning to take an 8-4 lead into the second quarter.

North Pitt then stalled for the last shot, but turned the ball over with 11 seconds on the clock. But the Chargerettes were called for traveling, however, and Pant-HER Sue Grimes canned a running one-hander at the buzzer for a 14-12 North Pitt lead.
The Pant-HERS opened their biggest lead when Dixons lane shot gave them a 20-14 lead with 4:08 remaining in the third quarter. Karen Haseley and Vivian Ellis each got baskets to make it 20-18, however, but Dixon scored again on a jumper to make it 22-18 going into the final period.

"We choked on offense in the first game with State. explained Bolton. Defense shouldnt be any problem becau.se 1 feel our centers can control Beasley. The key is going to be our aggressiveness on offense.
"State has such a tremendous balance on offense that we cant over-commit ourselves on defense.

A Chargerette turnover and a follow shot by Barnes gave North Pitt a 32-28 margin with 49 seconds on the clock. Ayden-Grifton cut it to 32-30 on Debbie ONeals jumper from the right side and a bad North Pitt pass gave the Chargerettes the ball with a chance to tie.

Rogers Wins Hope
PALM .SPRINGS. Calif (APi Bill Rogers will not .soon forget the 11th hole at Bermuda Dune in the 1978 Bob Hope Desert Classic. For that matter. neither will Jerry McGee.
Rogers, a 26-year-old Texan, won the $225,(KX) tournament by-two strokes with a 21-under-par m. But the whole story was told Monday on the 371-yard, par-4 No. 11 on the final day of the rain-delayed five-round classic.
Rogers, a non-winner during his tour vcars on the tour, led
McGee by three strokes after 82 holes but hit his drive into the right rough on No. 11. His next shot caught a branch and fell 10 yards short of the elevated green and in front of a sand bunker, setting up what both players agreed was an impossible shot.
At that point Rogers said he was willing to just put the ball on the green and settle for a 8-putt bogey.
McGee, at the time, was lying 25 feet from the hole, waiting lor a try at a birdie.
"After looking at the shank I just performed, Jerrys looking at a 3-stroke swing, said Ro-gers.
Indeed, McGee said he was thinking: Ive got a 25-foot

Hogs Rise To Top
LITTLE ROCK. Ark. (AP) -Arkansas forward Jim Counce said the Razorbacks had something to prove Monday night in their 82-56 Southwest Conference victory over Baylor.
"We wanted to prove that we are the No. I team and that we arent a fluke, said the 6-foot-7 Junior from Memphis.
"We have a great deal of pride and we wanted it to look like we are the No. 1 team in the nation, Counce said.
Ron Brewer, the 6-foot-4 sen-iOT guard who scored 16 points Monday night against Baylor, agreed.
"This lets the country know how good we are. We didnt get the attention we deserved last year, but we are getting it this season, Brewer said.
Sidney Moncrief, the Razor-backs leading scorer with 20 points, said the club wanted to play like we are the No. 1 team in the nation, and not slop around.
Arkansas Coach Eddie Sutton said a Dec. 29 victory over Louisiana State probably helped the Razorbacks take
Lanier Hot In Pistons' Win
over the No. 1 spot in the Associated Press college basketball poll.
It was LSU that whipped Kentucky 95-94 in overtime Saturday night, clearing the way for Arkansas to assume the top spot in the poll.
"Comparing scores is not a good thing to do, Sutton said. "But we beat LSU at Baton Rouge 67-62 and LSU beat Kentucky. That gave our record some credibility."
Sutton said that after he learned of Kentuckys loss, he thought there was a good chance Arkansas would be No. 1.
First of all. we have won more ball games than anybody and second, were the only major college team with one loss, Sutton said.
I would be the first to admit that if we played in the ACC (Atlantic Coast Conference), the SEC (Southeastern Conference) or the Big Ten. theres a good chance we wouldnt be 24-1. but whos Jo say we wouldnt, Sutton aid.
Sutton believes the Razor-
backs can compete with anyone in college basketball, but that there are 40-.50 good teams in the country.
Marquette. 19-2, moved intc second place with 14 first-place votes and 921 points, followed by 18-2 Kentucky, 18-2, with 12 first-pace selections and 884 points. UCLA, which got one first-place vote and 782 points, and New Mexico, which also got a ballot for the top spot and recieved 527 points off its 19-2 record.
Rounding out the Top Ten were No. 6 Kansas. 20-3; No. 7 Notre Dame. 16-4; eighth-ranked DePaul, 19-2, which got the final No. 1 vote from the 53 sports writer and broadcasters voting; No. 9 Louisville. 16-3, and 10th rated Michigan State, 18-3.
The Second Ten consisted of No. 11 North Carolina; 12th-ranked Texas; 13th-rated Providence; No. 14 Florida State; No 15 Illinois State; 16th-rank-ed Syracuse; 17th-rated Virginia; No. 18 Georgetown, DC.; No. 19 Detroit and 20th-ranked D'lke.
DETROIT (AP) - Bob Lanier wonders whats ahead for the Detroit Pistons.
What' bothers me is that Ive probably been playing as well or better than at any time in my career. said I.,anier. And were struggling to win.
The star center continued his blazing scoring pace Monday night with 31 points and 17 rebounds as Detroit snapped the New Jersey Nets threegame National Basketball Association winning streak, 125-115.
The game, the only NBA contest of
the night, marked the eighth time in the past 10 games that Lanier has topped the 30-point mark.
"I cant conceive of myself playing any better. Lanier added. "But like the other night, I scored 44 points and we still had to struggle to win the game.
The Nets have won only 12 of their 45 games this season and were trying for a club NBA record for consecutive victories. t
But even with Laniers best efforts, the Pistons had a rough fight on their

Razorbacks Are Razor-Sharp
Waltrip Likes Racing Under The Green Fiag
By FRANK BROWN AP Spwts Writer
There was a very good reason why the Arkansas Razor-backs were razor sharp Monday night.
"We wanted to play like we are the No. I team in the nation and not slop around, explained Sidney Moncrief, who scored 20 points and led top-ranked Arkansas to an 82-56 rout of Baylor in a Southwest Conference basketball game.
"We have a great deal of pride. We wanted it to look like we are the No. 1 team and that we arent a fluke, added forward Jim Counce.
They looked like the top-ranked team to a nationwide panel of sports writers and broadcasters. as well as to Baylor Coach Jim Haller.
"Arkansas is No. 1 and they deserve it, said Haller. They were as good as we were terrible.
Moncrief scored 15 of his points in the first half, helping the Razorbacks to a 45-32 intermission lead. Poor shooting by Baylor, which made just 32 percent of its shots in the contest, helped Arkansas raise its record to 24-1 and extend its homecourt winning streak to 27 games.
The triumph also boosted the Hogs conference mark to 12-1, keeping them even with Texas in the sectional race.
Elsewhere, third-ranked Kentucky beat Mississippi 64-52; the I2th-ranked Longhorns kept pace with Arkansas by blasting Texas A&M 90-66, and North Carolina-Charlotte upended No. 14 Florida State 88-79.
Ron Brewer added 16 points to the Arkansas effort while Vinnie Johnson led the Bears 5-8 in the SWC and 11-12 overall with 16.
Kentucky made 67 percent of its second-half shots to open a
49-.T2 advantage and cruise to its 18th victory in 20 games. Jack Givens scored 18 points for the Wildcats, who improved their Southeastern Conference record to 10-2 while dropping Mississippis marks to 9-13 in all games and 4-9 in the conference.
Jim Krivacs scored 24 of his :M points in the first half as Texas pummeled A&M and improved its record to 20-3. The Longhorns, who hadnt won 20 games in a season since 196;}, also got 16 points and 16 assists from John Moore. A&M. which totaled 15 assists, made 27 turnovers while sagging to 10-14
DAVTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) - Darrell Waltrip would like nothing better than 500 miles of racing under the green flag in Sundays prestigious $450,000 Daytona 500 stock car race. The less the race Is slowed by caution periods, he figures, the better his chances for victory.
I hope its 500 miles and green all the way, Waltrip said after qualifying eighth-fastest in a Chevrolet Monte Carlo he didnt think would be in the top lO. Were going with a proven product. We know what the Monte Carlo can do and we know what It will do.
Waltrip and his team are so confident of the potential of his year-old Monte Carlo, they didnt even bother to test during the winter. Most of the tp teams conducted exhaustive tests of a variety of models that became eligible with 1978 rules changes. Richard Petty even tried wind-tunnel tests at an Air Force base in Georgia.
Waltrip, who has the only Monte Carlo out of more than 50 entries here, is used to confounding critics of his car.
They said you couldnt win at a super-speedway with the Monte Carlo because of its blunt nose, Waltrip recalled. Still, all but one of his six victories in 1977 came on the big speedways.
It is said that Waltrip is foolhardy to expect his car to keep up with all the new models. But he doesnt think so.
The speed we ran in qualifying is pretty close to what we feel this car can run all day, Waltrip said of his 184.973 mile an-hour qualifying run. If he can sustain that speed, it should be hard for the others to keep up. "And the longer it stays green, the farther Ill pull away, he added.
Waltrip is still looking for his first victory at Daytona International Speedway in a Grand National stock car race. Hes had better luck in other divisions hes raced here, and hes won one of the 125-mile qualifying races for the .500, although they dont count as victories on a drivers record.
The qualifying races here Thursday should give the other drivers a pretty good indication whether Waltrips Monte Carlo is as much a threat as he thinks it will be.
Waltrip, who is also competing in all three other events here this week, qualified third Monday for next Saturdays Sportsman 300 and fourth for Fridays Modified 200. He is already a starter in Fridays International Race of Champions series finale.

MillerMakes
Comeback
LONDON (AP) - Kathy Miller was an active swimmer and athlete a year ago, before an auto accident put her in a coma for 10 weeks. Now the 14-year-old blonde from Phoenix. Ariz.. is courageously making a comeback as a long-distance runner.
But theres more to her story of iron-willed determination than that, as she has shown after just three days in Britain where she is in the running for a bravery award being presented in London on Wednesday.
With bubbly personality and an incandescent smile, its hard to tell at first glance that Kathy has recovered from critical brain damage and other injuries that made doctors doubt whether she would ever emerge from the coma info which she sank last March.
When she did emerge she was unable to speak, read or write, couldnt eat normally and was barely able to walk. Yet with sheer will-power, she battled toWard recovery and went on to compete in the annual Phoenix 10,000-meters marathon last Nov. 6.
LAS VEGAS, Nev. (AP) Heavyweight champion Muhammad Alls immediate concern is Leon Spinks, but Ken Norton is on his mind and he appears headed for a defense against the No. 1-ranked contender in May.
Ali spoke to me and Jose Sulaiman (the World Boxing Council president) and said that with the good condition hes in he wants to go right into Norton. said Butch Lewis, vice president of Top Rank, Inc.
The fight would be in May, Lewis said Monday. "I can see AJi getting at least $10 million. I feel fairly confident that Ali will accept $10 million.!
Ali has been saying that he wants $12 million to fight Norton for a fourth time. Norton has accused Ali of trying to price the fight off the market as a way of ducking him.
Of course, before Ali gets anything he must beat Spinks
Matthews Is Top Player
GREENSBORO, N.C. (AP) Kenny Matthews of North Carolina State, whose outside shooting helped the Wolfpack defeat Wake Forest last week, has been named Atlantic Coast Conference rookie of the week.
Matthews, a freshman from Washington. D.C.. scored 16 points in the Wolfpacks 88-77 victory over the Deacons. The 6-foot-3 guard hit eight of 12 field-goal attempts, including four in a row at one point.
Matthews had beaten Wake Forest in the Big Four Tournament in December with a last second shot. He is averaging 11.2 points per game this season.
Earlier. Duke guard Jim Spanarkel was named ACC player of the week. He scored 30 points apiece in the Blue Devils victories over Virginia and Davidson.
The weekly selections are made by a committee of the Atlantic Coast Sports Writers Association.

"And darned ifhe doesnt hole it, said McGee. "He pitches' it in.
"It was the turning point of the whole tournament. He probably thought at that point there he was no way for him to lose the golf tournament. McGee said.
Rogers picked up $45,000 for first place to add to the $16,892 he had won previously this year. Although he hasnt won on the U.S. tour, he took first place and $65,000 in the Tai-heivo Masters in Japan last fall.
McGee, who shot a 67 to end up with a 19-under-par 341, won $25.650. In third place, with a final-day 71 for a 17-under-par 343 was Peter Oosterhuis, who gained $15.975.
Rex Caldwell was one of three to fire 66s in the final round and ended up with a 15-under-par ;}45 for $10.575 while Tom Watson, the top money winner of 1977. shot a final-round 71 to end the tournament with a 14-under 346 and fifth place.

"We are delisted, Sulaiman said of Alls apparent ctiange of heart about fighting someone other than Norton after he meets Spinks. It is a change which if it stands - could relieve the WBC of the possibility of making an unpleasant decision The WBC has ruled AJi must sign by April 5 to fight Norton within 90 days of that date or be stripped of the title.
Sulaiman said that he had telephoned Bob Biron, Nortons manager, and that Biron was due here today for a meeting.
As for a site for an Ali-Norton fight. Lewis said. The Philippines are interested. President Marcos has sent a representative. The Iranian government is very interested and a group from Hong Kong is interested And there are others Lewis added.

Burnett Is Ending 11-Year Run
The OaUy Reflector, Greenville, N.C.Tuesday, February 14,1979
GOREN BRIDGE
By JAY SHARBUTT AP Tdevlsk Writer
LOS ANGELES (AP) -March 17 usually is party time. Its St. Patricks Day, which means strong drink, cheers for the Irish. But in a way, itll be a sad day for Carol Burnett.
Its when the red-haired star says shell tape the 268th and last chapter of CBS weekly Carol Burnett Show, ending an Jl-year run that outlasted the reigns of three presidents at her network.
Its like graduating from school, she said. Its that feeling you get where another door is opening. Weve seen births, deaths, divorces, marriages here, and its like another family.
And thats the sad part, of not seeing those people on a day-to-day basis.
Miss Burnett is voluntarily ending her weekly show, following the path previously taken by CBS two other top ladies of comedy, Mary Tyler Moore and Lucille Ball.
Like them, she has no plans of retiring from television.
I just want to exhale for a year, says the lady, owner of
five Emmy awards, who sprang to national notice in 1957 with a gag song called I Made a Fool of Myself Over John Foster Dulles.
Miss Burnett, 42, bom in San Antonio, Tex., but raised and educated here, had cellar-dwell-er ratings for her variety show this season, but says thats not the reason shes ending it.
Weve been in the toilet before, she laughed, adding that CBS never even brought up the subject of those low ratings with her.
In fact, she said, Robert A. Daly, president of CBS entertainment arm, said, Look, you can go another 10 years as far as the network is concerned. I said, Good God, no, who wants to do that?
Then I wouldnt be young enough to do what I want to do.
What finally convinced her it was time to hang it up, she said, was when she began noticing that skits cooked up for her show often had premises shed done in seasons past.
The writing still was excellent, she said, but about 80 per cent of the time I found myself, or those of us whove

"Sure, you can approach it differently, but the first time always is the best.
Miss B., who says her farewell to her weekly show doesnt mean shell never do a series again, was asked about rumors the weekly variety show is finish, past its prime time as a TV form.
I recall one year when we were the only variety show on. she replied. "Everybody was saying variety is dead. But
it will weather. The revue form in my humble opinion will always exist.
The problem, I think, has been that somebody has a hit record, then they say. Give them a variety show.
But a mainstay of variety is comedy and, said the woman who has appealed in 1,500 comedy skits in her series, there is an art to sketch-playing. But they have to develop comedic actors who can do it.-

((c) 1978, McNaught Syndicate, Inc.)
There is a time for everything under the sun, even at the bridge table. The -successful defense lay in realizing when the time to shift had arrived.
South had one tale to tell, and he made that point very clearly. Since South had announced a six-card spade suit. Norths double ton jack was adequate support and a reasonable game was reached.
West led the king of hearts, and Elast saw at once that he could virtually guarantee himself a second spade trick if dummy was forced to ruff. So East followed with a high heart, and West dutifully, heeded his partners signal and continued the suit.
Declarer ruffed in dummy and ran the jack of spades. He came to his hand with the jack of diamonds and continued with the ace of spades. The bad break did not disturb him. He surrendered a trick to the ten of spades, ruffed the heart return and conceded another trick to the king of spades. That was all for the defense; declarers club loser went away on the fourth diamond.
East had his priorities wrong. Two trump tricks
and a heart were not enough to defeat the contract. The defenders had to find a fourth trick, and that couid only be the king of clubs because declarer had to have the ace of diamonds for his opening bid.
East should simply have played the two of hearts to the first trick, asking his partner to shift. Since East could play an unnecessarily high heart if he wanted a shift to the higher-ranking side suit, the lowest heart should ask for a shift to the lower-ranking side suit, in this case clubs.
A club switch would have left declarer with scant recourse. His best chance would have been to take the club finesse. East wins the king of clubs for the second defensive trick, then reverts to a heart, forcing dummy to ruff. Now unless declarer guesses that trumps are not breaking and so opts for a complex trump coup and end play against East, the defenders will score two trump tricks to defeat the contract.

Health Program Offered Pitt's State Employees
Ctosmwotd By Eugene Sbeffer
Pitt itas been chosen as one of three counties in North Carolina to pilot a program of health education and screening for y state employees.
Pianists In ECU Event
ECU News Bureau
Twenty-seven student pianists from several cities in eastern North Carolina and Virginia participated in East Carolina Universitys second annual High School Day recently.
Sponsored by the ECU School of Musics keyboard department. the event included individual lessons with members of the ECU piano faculty, a piano recital featuring ECU student performers and a presentation by ECU faculty members, who discussed ECUs degree pro-^ grams in music.
Activities were coordinated b/^ Dr. Charles Bath, chairperson of the keyboard dq>artment, who was assisted by faculty members Henry Doskey, Richard Lucht, Nelms McKel-valn, Ellen Nagode, Gregory Nagode, Paul Tardif and Eleanor Toll.
Co-hosts of the day were members of the ECU chapter of Pi Kappa Lambda, honor society In music.
Hannah Paramore, of Greenville, student of Dr. Charles Bath of ECU, was among the participating student pianists.
Gov. Jim Hunt announced the program which he said is aimed at improving the health of state employees and containing health care costs. He said It will be made available to about 10,000 state employees, not including public school teachers, who work in Pitt. Burke and Wayne Counties.
The program, which may be participated in on a voluntary basis, will be offered near the employees place of work and a $lO-per-person charge will be paid by the state.
Hunt said he is enthusiastic about the program. This educational and screening program has been proven successful in an industry, at Cannon Mills. We want to try it on a limited basis at first, and if it proves successful, we think it has great potential as an overall part of our health plan for state employees.
The program includes two sessions; first, employees will learn about cancer, hypertension and diabetes in a one-hour educational session conducted by a doctor and nurse. Then, about a week later, these employees will be examined by trained medical personnel for indications of any of these health proUems. Those found to have problems will be sent to their family physicians.
In the Cannon program. Hunt said, two of every 1,000 screened were found to have early cancer; seven to have diabetes, and 15 percent to have high blood pressure. Some 75 percent of those with diabetes could control it with proper diet, once it was found. Most of those with high

Wood pressure (hypertension) could control it with appropriate diet, too, though some needed medication, also, he said.
The program was developed by Dr. Siegfried Heyden, professor at th- Duke Medical Center and consultant to Blue Cross-Blue Shield, which currently holds the state contract for health insurance for state employees. The three-county pilot program will be administered by Dr. William
DeMaria, medical director of Blue Cross-Blue Sheild and professor of pediatrics at Duke.
The pilot program is scheduled to begin the first week in March in Pitt County. Included in the physical examination will be weight, blood pressure, mouth, rectum, urine and stool samples, and diabetes; for males prostate exam; and for females PAP smear and complete breast examination.

Jury's Verdict Is Set Aside
RALEIGH. N.C. (AP) - A Wake County Superior Court judge who didnt like the jurys verdict in a murder trial invoked a little-used procedure Monday to set it aside and order a new trial.
Judge Donald L. Smith issued the order after a jury found that George R. Gitter was sane at the time he admitted fatally beating and smothering his wife.
Four psychiatrists testified during the trial that Gitter did not know what he was doing during the killing on April 9, 1976. and defense attorneys had asked that the verdict be set aside.
Smith rejected the request earlier Monday but said he changed his mind after legal research persuaded him that he had authority to reject the jurys verdict.
I guess this is the most extraordinary power the courts have. Smith said. I never wanted to put myself in the position of overruling 12 jurors.
Eleven women and one man heard the psychiatric testimony for four days last week, including testimony from Duke University emeritus professor Dr. Hans Lowenbach that Gitter thought he was killing the devil when he killed his wife, Sandra Jones Gitter.
The jury deliberated more than seven hours last Friday and Saturday before finding that Gitter was sane.
Wake District Attorney J. Randolph Riley said he would look for legal grounds to appeal Smiths ruling. He had told the jury that common sense and reason were enough to decide the case and they should npt be awed by the psychiatrists.

Ayden Board OKs Sfreef-Use By Wild West Show
Qy DEBBIE JACKSON Rcfledor Staff Wrttar
AYDEN The Ayden Town Board following a public hearing last night which was continued from last months meeting voted to cloese a 32-foot portion of West Avenue between First and Second Streets.
The closed area of the street will be used by Marshall Destens Wild West Show, Inc., for displaying antique wagons, buggies, and for holding a fast-draw exhibition. The frontage had been described as vital to the success of the project," by Bobby Newell, Marshall Destin to the group, at the previous meeting.
The Wild West group was leased the Old Town Hall last month for the purpose of renovating the structure for use as a entertainment facility. Plans have been made to transform the interior Into a saloon and an old jail. Country singers will also perform on stage. Wild West spokesmen maintained that no alcoholic beverages will be served and that the attraction will serve a useful purpose in giving the Ayden young people a place to go and in helping the local economy, if the show is as successful as they anticipate.
At the beginning of last night's meeting, Mayor Ross Persinger spoke to a much smaller crowd than was present at the original public hearing, and said that he had contacted the North Carolina League of Municipalities as to the correct manner of conducting a continued hearing. They recom
mended that the public hearing itself had served its purpose and that the business should go to the City Council, said Persinger.
He then allowed each side proponents and opponents of the proposed closing of West Avenue five minutes each to state new business on the subject.
However, Wayland McGlohon, the auto repairman who had earlier stated that his business would be hurt by the street closing, spoke for 17 minutes for the opposition. His garage is located on the dead-end side of West Avenue and McGlohon reiterated that by closing the middle of West Avenue the Town Board would be limiting his "ingress and egress.
He added that large trucks. If the street were closed, would have difficulty in backing out of his garage back on to West Avenue. He also noted that elderly citizens that he services are not able to turn in their seats in order to safely back out.
According to McGlohon, the public hearing on Jan. 9 had one of the largest crowds ever...I believe that a majority of them dont want their street taken away." He said, too, that the Wild West group is a private organization, and that he did not wish to see the Town Board set a precedent to give leverage to any other groups that would request similar street closings."
In addition, he noted that the closing of the street would limit parking for patients of the Health Clinic which is located in a portion of the Old Town Office. .
Pleads Guilty To Using A Friendship
RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) - Insurance man Howard Bloom, accused of trying to use his friendship with Insurance Commissioner John R. Ingram to get money from insurance companies, pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor Monday. He was sentenced to six months in the Wake County Jail.
Bloom was sentenced on a charge of influencing agents and servants in duties owed employers. The misdemeanor plea was the result of bargaining with prosecutors. Four felony charges against Bloom were dropped.
Superior Court Judge Ed Preston sentenced Bloom to an active six-month sentence starting Friday. The six-month sentence was the maximum allowed un-
Arrest 2 In Bludgeoning
KINGSTREE, S.C. (AP) -Two men were charged with murder today in the beating death of Helen Mathews Humphries. the 29-year-old Lake City convenience store clerk who was abducted two weeks ago. Williamsburg County Sher-, Iff Theodore McFarlin said.
The sheriff identified the men as Silas Cooper and Eric Burgess, both of Lake City. He said their ages were not available.
> Mrs. Humphriess nude body was found on Jan. 27 in a shal-Ipw ditch near Ropers Crossroads in a remote part of Williamsburg County. Authorities said she was bludgeoned to death.
McFarlin said today the murder weapon was a tire iron.
He declined to say what had led him to Cooper and Burgess, although he said one of them implicated the other under questioning after a clue led authorities to the man.
The woman, the mother of an 8-year-old girl, had been abducted Jan. 24 from Fast Fare store on Main Street in Lake City, which Is located in Florence County just a few miles from Ropers Crossroads.
Police making a routine check found the store open but empty and the cash register open.

der the misdemeanor charge.
Bloom. 44, a Roanoke Rapids restaurateur and insurance man, was indicted in December by a Wake County grand jury on four insurance-related felony charges.
He was charged with trying to obtain fees from two insurance companies by telling them their applications for North Carolina licenses would be held up unless they paid him.
Bloom was also charged in the indictments with soliciting money from one company to be used for bribing state Insurance Department officials. He was also charged with conspiracy in connection with the same alleged incident.
In testimony after the plea was entered Monday, State Bureau of Investigation agent W.F. Dowdy said Bloom called at least 42 insurance companies in search of fees for his help in getting North Carolina licenses.
Dowdy said an SBI investigation showed Bloom was a friend and associate of Ingram, but said there was no evidence that Bloom had actually succeeded in speeding the licensing of any insurance company.
Defense attorney Perry Martin argued against an active sentence for Bloom, saying his client was a diabetic who required a special diet. Martin also told the judge that Bloom had already suffered enough from the charges against him.

He added that during the controversy over the closing, he had been depicted as the villain. and he did not wish to be thought of as such.
Following McGlohons presentation. Persinger said that he would allow the proponents of the issue equal time. They declined further discu.ssion.
Persinger added that the main item in que.stion was whether any individual would be deprived of ingress and egress" to his property and if the closing was not contrary to the public interest."
Commissioner Carl Speight proposed that the 32-foot portion of the street be closed, except for the sidewalk, and separated from the remainder of the street by a split-log fence.
In making the motion, Speight added that the ,32-foot space is needed for the success of the show He also noted that in not
allowing the Wild West people a chance to prove themselves all of them are citizens of Ayden the Board would be depriving the showmen Of their rights as town residents.
Commissioner Elliott Dixon agreed with Speight, saying that the closing is essentially a good idea He added that the persistence of the group was a "plus in its favor. He also stated that the Wild West show would be helping the town by preserving the Old Town Hall which has not been used in six years. And. he added, that if it is successful, Marshall Destens Wild West Show. Inc., could benefit the economy.
In reference to McGlohons statement concerning setting a precendent for similar street closings. Dixon said that he believed this was a unique situation dealing with town property.
"Many of us are afraid of this ..if we dont have some innovation, we become stagnant. Dixon added that McGlohon did have the right of appeal.
The Board approved the closing by a 3-2 vote.
In other business, the Board heard a request to amend the budget for the Community Development Program in order to use funds in other areas of the program. A town official noted that the project was running out of money and he requested a shift in the budge^ to allow the project to continue.
The Community Development Program has been aimed at con^ demning and tearing down old buildings in the Ayden area. It was noted last night that there have been problems recently in owners coming back after the houses have been condemned and renovating them.
The programs aim will now
be to restore the old buildings. More money should also be put into neighborhood recreational activities, such as the Mini-park and also into street improvements, A public hearing was set up for the next regular meeting on the matter.
According to Housing and Urban Development, to make the needed changes in the budget, two public hearings must be held.
Also, the Board cancelled ^a public hearing that had been previously scheduled to consider construction of livestock markets in M-1 zone by conditional use permit. The offer to purchase land along the By-pass where the proposed livestock market was requested was withdrawn.
In further business, the Board accepted a state grant for a water distribution system in the amount of $138,735.
The Board also;
Amended the budget for fiscal year 1977-78 to include calendar year 1978 money from the Mid-East Commission for the Ayden Nutrition program.
Approved an ordinance establishing civil penalties for electric meter tampering.
Established a $10 fee for reconnecting electricity during after-duty hours. This would be
added to overdue charges for service.
Accepted a low bid from Leo Venters Motors in the amount of $5,070.85 for a one-ton truck.
Set a public hearing for the next regular meeting to consider assuming the role of the Housing Authority following a petition that the Board recently received asking that they take over this organization.Tadlock Insurance Agency, Inc.
