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.
