Sears Roebuck and Company
made the news by the foct they
?topped sponsoring or adver
tising on-TV programs deemed
violent. . .such as Charlie's
Angels. Starsky and Hutch, and
others. . . This did not impress
*ne. . .In fact, if anything, it
made me angry.. .1 liked all the
programs they decided to drop.
I. .Thus, if I needed a reason not
to shop Sears, there it was. .
.Now if they want to do some
impress me. . Jt was quite
obvious the move was not made
hopefully, to make Sears a
Judge ifepnrth 'Turner there
wJH be a Magistrate on duty 24
hours a day in Kenansville
beginning July 1st. There will
be no new people jdded, but
Kenansville. one in Rose Hill
and one in Faison. One in the
Kenansville office is part-time
in Kenansville and part-time in
Beulaville. where be lives.
These magistrates will be
pulling an eight-hour shift in
Kenansville and also on duty in
rneir respective towns, but lor
a shorter duration. . . The best
thing I can say about it is that at
least those who are drawing the
$9,000 plus salary will at least
have to be on duty maybe 16
hours a week now. . .As some
were not. . .While others were
working most all the time.. .The
worst thins about it is that it will
cut the services at other towns. .

Stratton Murphy, who. I
guess, is about five years okl
and stands around two and a
half to three feet tall, was
listening to a conversation
between Glenn Sudhop. Clyde
Austin. Craig Watts and Chuck
Nevitt ? all State basketball
players ? and all but Clyde the
Glide looked to be 7 feet tall. .
.We*, the basketball players
were ^rag^ing among
themselves about what they
could and the others could not
do. . .And Stratton got all
caught up in the conversation. .
He slapped Chuck Nevitt on the
kneecap and said. "Let's race. .
.1 can outran you." . . .And
Stratton was serious. . -He
really believed he could. . .it

I was in a group uniting about
liquor by the drink, and we were
discussing that this was nothing
new. . .only being legal would
be the'new port. . .We were
naming ever some of the boot
leggers or telling where some
were, when this one fellow, who
wilt remain nameless, said that
the most surprised he ever was
over a bootlegger was when one
night he and sotne more fellows
were returning from a fishing
trip and decided they needed a
drink.. .This one fellow said he
knew where he could get a
drink. . .and drove right up to
his brother-in-law's house. . .
