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. Creath of
Pinehui^t will join about 610 oth
er bankers and guests on a seven-
day cruise to Havana arid Nassaii
beginning Saturday.
The bankers will be attending

speaker of the convention.
Mr. Creath is vice-president of
the Carolina Bank in Pihehurst.
Strawberries rank with citrus
fruits as a rich source of Vitamin
C whether eaten fresh or frozen.
And Virginia Wilson, extension
nutrition specialist, points out
that since your body can’t store
vitamin C—you need a fresh sup
ply daily.
ROADS AND FATALITIES
Bad roads were responsible for
only 11 of North Carolina’s 1,031
fatal auto smashups last year. The
State Department of Motor Vehi
cles’ study of gccident facts show
ed defective shoulders caused two
fatal accidents, holes in the road
one, road under repair four, loose
gravel three, and other defects,
one. More than half of the fatal
accidents occurred on straight,
level and dry roadways.
Speeding on U. S. streets and
highways injured 702,560 men
women and children.
