Allen. 21, all of Headquarters Squadron, Cherry Point, Tuesday in County Recorder's Court we?e fined $25 and costs on charges of being drunk on the highway and destroying state property. All three were charged with the offenses June 4 by State Highway Patrolman 8 H. Brown on U. S. Highway 70 sear Smitty's Drive-In, Newport. Patrolman Brawn told the court that he went to the drive-in after receiving a call from patrol head quarters and found the defendant* around a car imbedded in fresh ly laid asphalt. The three appeared to be in an intoxicated state, he said, and there were foot prints alt about in the asphalt. He said the boys told him they were trying to push the car to get It started. The car had been push ed approximately 150 feet in the fresh asphalt from the drive-in en trance, Patrolman Brown said. Sheriff Hugh Salter and Deputy Sheriff Marshall Ayscue who were at the county jail when Patrolman Brown and the three defendants arrived, told the court that in their opinion, the men were drunk. Allen Testifies Allen said that he and Golden went into the drive-in and while there had two beers. While in there he said he saw Haskins and another man. Shortly after entering the place, Military Police entered and picked up the unidentified man for being AWOL, said Allen. This man told him to take his car back to Cherry Jarry Schumacher Auto Races Put One In Hospital; Kill One Got in my "hot rod" Monday morn and took off for Darlington, S. C., where they were having a big time automobile race. Now for some unknown reason, this piecc of junk that t call a car was run ning like a sewing machine, the weather was perfect, the traffic was light, and my cup was running over. Now Darlington was decked out like New Orleans in the Mardi Gras, and at the track the excite ment ran at fever pitch, all the world's best drivers, mechanics, and all the other people necessary were on hand, the usual celebrities, Wilbur Shaw perhaps the greatest of all the old time racers who is still alive, movie stars, all the greats of the racing world and then some 15,000 peasants like me and thee. Now theae monsters that scream around the track at aver age speeds of 129 miles per hour, (that means from 1M to 1M In the straitaways), are sleek things of beauty. If you can call a rat tlesnake beautiful, and they are just aboat twice as dangerous. They give no warning just before they crash you to eternity. If you'd like to own one just dig ap from $8,000 to >30,000 or more, not counting upkeep, and you're la business. Now I recognized one fellow that came from California with his entourage, hired Chuck Stevenson, probably the world's greatest driv er, and after 30 laps the engine flew apart. Must have been related to my hot rod. Well anyway, need Jess to say, they didn't make any money that day, but at least the driver is alive. So here comes the start: 30 can lined up like soldiers on dress pa rade; coming down the track at over one hundred miles an hour, the pace car pulla off to the apron, the starter's green flag comes down with a whip, and the thunderous roar is almost more than human ear druma can stand as every driver trie* to get to the first turn first. This is the most breath-taking part' of any race and one always won ders who in the pack is going to come out first. Somehow very few accidents occur at this point, it'a always after they have settled down to a more orderly pace that death CASTING - PIT -SPIN - HE* - BOAT SURF - TUNA 7 ?iUail c-~ *? / HEADQUARTERS FOR SPORTS FISHERMEN REELS - GEAR - TACKLE REPAIRS (W Sbapari S*e*t PkwNM HiwIwH CKy, N.

Well, this driver made his; he hit the out side wall on the far turn and for a split second the car skidded, then plunged like a rocket gone crasy up and over at a hundred and thirty miles an hour. Up and over and out of sight down the embankment, at least sparing 1S,0?? people the sight of his MtH hody. This fellow is still alive, (bough very critical at last report. The next driver wasn't so lucky. He's dead. He hit the retaining wall about a quarter mile from the first one, skidded wildly, the car leaped high in the air, came down with a sickening crash, stayed right side up but the driver had a broken neck. And we say bull fights are inhuman. Capt. Tony Seamon claims that the Sanitary doesn't have a mouse or a rat in the place. Reason? A cat that has been a sort of mascot and pet for over seven years. Now the other day this cat crawled up into the motor compartment of some one's car and when the per son started the motor, the cat real ly got chewed up, in fact everyone thought it was deader than a mackerel.

At the tiaae Barms Construction Co. was resurfacing that portion of the highway. When Allen and Galen went in the drive-in the road by the entrance was not paved, Allen testified.
