ENJOY AIL THESE "Deluxe" RCA WHIRLPOOL FEATURES* How loud can an automobile muffler be before it is too loud? That question was the subject of an hour-long trial in. Moore Recorder’s court Monday after noon -When Southern Pines po licemen, admittedly on the wm- path against drivers with noisy mufflers, set out to test the stat ute governing mufflers. Floyd Uphole, 19, of West End arrested by local officers about two weeks ago and charged with driving a car with a noisy muff ler, contended through his attor ney that his muffler was not the “gutted” type. Neither, he said was it unduly loud. His attorney, H. F. Seawell said it certainly couldn’t have been any louder than the trains or trucks passing through South- gm Pines, or for that matter, many of the police cars. But the policemen, .Sigt. Lamar K. Smith and Robert T. Yonts, said they were acting on orders and they had felt the West End driver was making entirely too much noise. Solicitor W. Lament Brown read the statute covering noisy mufflers and suggested a demon stration of the car in question. Judge J. Vance Rowe called on members of the State Highway Patrol to test the car by driving it around the courthouse. Following the test (“terribly loud,” someone.said) Judge Rowe ruled that the car was too noisy and charged the defendant with the costs of the action. ^ Southern Pines police said they ^srere going "to continue arresting drivers who possessed loud muf- fl6rs “Some of those things make the train sound like a lullaby,” tney said. - Manchester Road Will Be Closed To Traffic Friday Manchester Road, which tra verses Fort Bragg, will be closed ^for convenience sake—^to civ ilian vehicles Armed Forces Day, Saturday, May 19, officials of the 18th Airborne Corps and Fort | Bragg have announced. The road will be closed off after 8:30 a. m. from Southern Pines and Vass from the west and Pope Air Force Base from the east. Traffic will be turned off on Highway 87 to the entire post Armed Forces Day “Open | House.” _ . , , I Experience has indicated to 1 Fort Bragg officials that even the best traffic control and direction provided within Army regula tions cannot eliminate traffic j congestions on Manchester Roadj during the type of “Open House” demonstrations planned. To further avoid traffic conges tion and inconvenience to their guests, Fort Bragg personnel will [ provide complete on-post trans- portation, information booths, traffic control points throughout the reservation, and parking lots com-plete with attendants—for approximately 1,000 vehicles. 1 Cotton, Tobacco Crops Slated To I Be Measured Soon The Moore County Agricultural 1 Stabilization and Conservation Committee will start measuring cotton and tobacco crops on all farms in the county in the very near future, it was announced to day by Walter I. Fields, officer manager for the ASC. Fields said that a sufficient number of measurers is stiE not 1 available, and requested that I anyone interested to contact his office in Carthage at once. All people chosen for the work will be given necessary training and instructions by members of | Ithe ASC staff. Fields this week also listed the | official price of tobacco during the 1955-56 marketing year for the convenience of tobacco growers and the penalty rate on excess | planting for the 1956-57 market- ling year. Average price for 1955-56 was | 52.7 cents per pound; penalty rate for 1954 was set at 40 cents per pound. The penalty rate for the 1956 wheat crop has been established at $1.07 per bushel. Fields said. I The rate'represents 45 per cent of the parity price of wheat as of j I May 1. The first 1956 prepared produc tion forecast is for a crop of 900,- 000 bushels, according to the North Carolina Crop Reporting Service. Moore County peach growers, completely wiped out along with other peach growers in the Sand hills last year, cheered the news. Few of them had reported seri ous damage to their crops caused by the late frosts and otner weather damage. . The crop reporting service said it had no reports for individual counties at present, but did say that the crop forecast would be about 58 per cent of the 1945-54 average of 1,559,000 bushels. Most Moore County growers have said that a 60 per cent crop would help them make up the tremendous losses of last year. Cold weather in March and April caused spotty damage in the county. Some orchards escaped with little or no .damage while others had more severe losses. On the whole, .however, Moore County growers said they were happy with the present forecast. Mr. and Mrs. L. B.

ROADS AND FATALITIES Bad roads were responsible for only 11 of North Carolina’s 1,031 fatal auto smashups last year.
