Soldier Speeder
Leads Patrolman
On Wild Chase
Pursuit Begins At
Spring Lake. Ends
Out from Aberdeen
A Fort Bragg soldier, Pfc. Don
ald Raymond Naurty, was re
leased from Moore County jail
last week on $1,000 bond, fac
ing trial on several traffic charges
arising from one of the naost spec
tacular highway chases ever seen
in this area.
Patrolman Hargrove of Fay
etteville chased Naurty, who was
driving a 1950 Oldsmobile, all the
way from Spring Lake in Cum
berland County, at speeds up to
90 miles per hour, over a circui
tous route that ended in the woods
near Aberdeeh. The, soldier is
charged with speeding 90, running
through, stop signs and failure to
heed an officer’s siren. The chase
began when the patrolman came
up behind Naurty while he was
speeding near Spring Lake.
With the patrolman in hot pur
suit, Naurty went through Aber
deen, said one eye-witness, “so
fast that I couldn’t tell what kind
of car he was driving.” After hav
ing, led the patrolman a race
through the Fort Bragg reserva
tion, sometimes on rural roads,
Naurty entered Aberdeen across
the overhead , railroad bridge;
turning north on No. 1 highway.
At the stoplight intersection of
No. 1 with South Street in Aber
deen, Naurty, running at an esti
mated 50 or 60 miles per hour
swung right through the dirt park
ing lot, avoiding going through
a red light, and shot up South St.,
past the Coca Cola bottling plant,
across the Seaboard Air Line rail
road and back to Route 211—the
same toad he had just previous
ly traversed coming into Aber
deen.
With the patrolman still in pur
suit, Naurty turned off Highway
211 near the Hoke County line
into a country road, then into an
other rural road and finally leap
ed from the car and ran. Patrol-
What’s happened to the U. $. familii
in thn “Electric Age”?
They use 3 times as much electricity-and pay less per kilowatt-hour for it
U. S. families have moved into the
"electric age." A measure of their change
—^they ore using 3 times as much elec
tricity today as they used in 1939.
One reason is that electricity does
more jobs for them. And the price is low
er—the average family pays less per kilo
watt-hour than in 1939. Another reason
—there's more of it.
The electric light and power compa
nies provide 3 times as much electricity
as they did in 1939. They are building
new power plants and dams and lines
all over the country to keep well ahead of
growing needs.
Carolina Power & Light Company has
had an appropriate port in this expansion.
In fact, this company is engaged in a
$200,000,000 building program that al
ready has resulted in new generating
plants, new substations, new lines and
other facilities. This summer another new
generating plant, near Wilmington — the
largest on our system, will go into service.
In spite of this abundance, some peo
ple still propose that the federal govern
ment build electric projects even if if
means waste, a bigger national debt and
the threat of socialism.
