Made For Youthful Fun, But...
Boys Prepare
Blasting Device
The harmlMs looking nuit
and bolts above are being used
in a unique way by Durham
youngsters to produce home
made blasting devices. The
pair of blasting devices above
were conliscated by John
Avery Boys Club Director
Lee W. Smith, pictured e x-
amining them below.
According to Smith the de
vice is made by coupling two
bolts face forward into one
nut which has been packed
with match heads. The bolts
are tightened, then the entire
device is thrown against a
hard surface, causing an ex
plosion similar to a pistol shot.
Puffs of smoke are also given
off on impact. Smith said.
Although there have been no
reports of injury suffered
through the use of the devices,
it is believed that they con-
slstute a menace to young
boys, who could suffer injury
from the i|ct»losion.
The devices first made their
appearance at the boys club
area early this week. Smith
of theiA and gave their young
designers a stern lecture.

College, was described as short

statemeik received this week
from the college’s ali^mni asso-i

The educator was tak^ to
task because of his remarks on
the problems of Negro colleges
in NorfH Carolina to a news
paperman.
Dr. Jones was quoted earlier
this spring in a syndicated
article which appeared In most
of the state’s daily newspapers
as saying that Fayetteville
State Teachers College “not
only takes in illiterates, but we
graduate illiterates.”
The alumni statment this
week said the remark is "most
unfortunate and untimely.” It
described the statement further
as a "blunt . . . blanket indict
ment,’’ and charged Dr. Jones
with "shortsightedness” in mak
ing the statement.
The alumni statement failed
to contain the signature of any
of the members of the execu
tive board, under whose name
it was sent.
Dr. Jones has been president of
Fay«Hteville State College for
two years. He replaced Dr.
