John Michael Curtis, a telephone company service supervisor and a Randolph County resident, said his knowlegde of the Klan is limited. "I don't know much about them," he said.

Of the three groups, the Nazis seem to be the leastknown among the potential jurors, one of whom said she didn't remember anything about the American Nazis but has heard about the Nazis during World War II, who, she said, had strict rules and "did what they had to do." While the Ku Klux Klan has been boasting of increased membership and a renewed interest in its activities, the jury pool knew little about the group. Harry D. Marshall, a funeral home employee from Mount Airy, sounded almost as if the Klan were the subject of a rumor. "I've heard that a lot of times they disagreed on the blacks and stuff like that," he said. Sherry L. Hawley, of Durham County, said she heard about the Klan in school but her knowledge of it is limited to the fact that, "years ago, they would have the burning crosses and things like that, but nothing recently." Ruth H; Booe, of Davie County, said she reads fhe Winston-Salem and Mocksville papers but does not know very much about the Klan. Although Eleanor E. Mills didn't say she was against any group in particular, she wondered why the CWP was allowed to have its "Death to the Klan" rally in the first place.

But, before doing so, monitor the exact days and times that you smell the odor and any other information, such as weather conditions, that might be of help in determining what the odor is. The Environmental Affairs Department does look into odor problems and will be glad to investigate the one in your neighborhood once sufficient preliminary information is available, says Mike Hastings, an environmental specialist at the department.

"1 think the CWP and other groups really take advantage of our liberties that we have. I think they're wrong in even wanting to parade and say, 'I'll get you for this' or Til get somebody.' I just think it's all wrong. I'm a pacifist." Linda M. Bumgardner has been identified as one of the 12 jurors chosen to hear the case. During her questioning, Bumgardner said her grandfather was a Klansman. When asked by the court if that would interfere with her ability to be fair, she said: "No, I don't think so, because that was a long time ago." According to the partial transcripts, the Ak potential juror identified as a black man was Willie Vjfe Vincent, 66, from Burlington. A retired BurlingtoiF Industries employee, Vincent was eliminated because of his age, say the transcripts, the number of miles he would have to travel daily to get to Winston-Salem and because he had only an eighth-grade education. As for other things many of the potential jurors have in common, one of the more interesting is that they own weapons. i Said Harry Marshall: "I own a couple of pistols, a cou- i pie of shotguns and two other rifles.** Only portions of the jury-selection transcript have been made public; the rest will be available whenever they are- I typed. U.S. Judge Thomas Flannery said he decided to I close the selection procedures so that the potential jurors could be candid with their answers and not fear seeing or hearing their comments in the newspapers or on television. The identities of the six men, six women and six alternates who were chosen for the jury have not been made public. All that is known about the jury is that it is allwhite and includes the granddaughter of a Klansman.

A: The "Someone You Should Meet ..." feature is an outgrowth of an earlier feature called "Bachelor and Bachelorette of the Week." In essence, it briefly acquaints our readers with single people who are doing positive things with their lives. Whether or not their accomplishments are "ordinary," we feel, is not the primary Teason you should or shouldn't want to meet them. But that is a choice for you to make. By the way, the feature is, from all indications, one of our most popular departments. i SINUAL i v li^niTi/ lirNVJKI I T rRADE FAIR MVENTION CENTER IESDAY 28, 1984 A.M. - 3:30 P.M.
