of Dunn’s worst fires. Oddly enough,
Dunn’s worst fire occurred in the
same block.
Dunn's Junior Chamber of Com
merce was reorganized on Janu
ary 14th with Bill Biggs as Pres
ident, and during the year accom
plished a number of worthwhile
projects. Perhaps the most signi
ficant was its “get out the vote"
campaign, climaxed by a registra
tion party at Gardner’s Dairy on
October 16, with registrants served
cake and ice cream.
On April 1, the Mary Vice case
was sent back to Dunn Recorder’s
Court by Judge W. H. S. Burgwyn,
the first of several cases sent up
after jury trial had been refused
by Judge H. Paul Strickland.
The reversal of this and other
cases, brought the local jurist un
der fire and resulted in the near
victory of his Republican opponent,
attorney J. O. West in the second
primary.
The year started out by setting
a precedent in the swearing in of
Mrs. Elizabeth Matthews as acting
Clerk of Courts, to replace Robert
Morgan, whose summons for Navy
duty was effective January 7. She
was the first feminine Clerk of
Courts in Harnett, and only the
second in the state.
NEGRO OFFICERS HIRED
The Dunn town board set another
precedent in agreeing to two Negro
policemen to work in the colored
section at the urging of City Man
ager O. O. Manning.
Rev. Bane T. Underwood took
over as pastor of the Gospel Tab
ernacle. replacing Rev. J. Luther
Davis, one of Dunn’s most beloved
preachers, who retired.
The new Negro School in EnVin
was opened early in January, re
placing five outmoded Negro schools.
On January 16. Harnett had its
first traffic fatality, when Horace
Colville was killed in a crash near
Lillington.
On January 21, the new sanitary
ordinance was adopted and on the
25. a committee began seeking a
site for a Country Club. The two
Negro policemen, John Brockinaton
and Alex Thompson, began their
duties on January 25.
On February 4. the town offered
the Medical Care Commission the
choice of three sites for the Health
Center. King George died on Feb
ruary 6 and Elizabeth was proclaim
ed Queen on February 8. In Feb
ruary a wave of Klan arrests in
Columbus County hit the headlines.
In March, Earl McD. Westbrook
was named chairman of the com
mittee to handle Dunn’s participa
tion in the Finer Carolina Contest,
sponsored by the Carolina Power &
Light Co. The proposal for a new
courthouse was made before the
county board in March.
LEE NAMED JUDGE
Later in March a National Guard
unit was authorized for Benson
and M. O. Lee was appointed Judge
of Harnett Recorder’s Court to re
place the late Judge Floyd Taylor.
Plans for the park development
1 were discussed early in April and
the Jaycees took over this project,
j Policeman Tom Aikens was suspen
! ded for an attack on taxi driver
Berry Allen, pleading guilty on Ap
,ril 17 to simple assault. On (April
9, the contract for the new hospital
wing was let.
Policeman Aikens resigned and
Citv Manager O. O. Manning prais
ed him for his work. Aikens’ part
ing blast was “the crime condition
in Dunn is almost hopeless.”
COBB NAMED CHIEF
On May 7. reporters visiting Po
lice hradquartera, got the news
that Chief George Arthur Jackson
had been summarily fired by Man
ning. The move aroused a storm of
protest but the ousted Chief was
not reinstated. He was replaced by
Chief Alton A. Cobb. On May 28.
Commissioner R. G. Tart released
the board’s request for Manning’s
resignation by June 15. The Legion
announced the purchase of land
for a fair grounds.
Manning failed to resign by June
15. and he was fired, with 30 days
to wind up his affairs. On June 19.
the FBI announced the four arrests
in the Angier bank robbery. On
June 25 the debate between Carlyle
and Talley was held in the High
School cafeteria.
PROPHET AZEL BURIED
Prophet Azel Manning ended his
earthly ministry and was buried on
July 4. Oil the 7th the courthouse
bond election wes approved by the
county board. Manning left the
City Manager’s office on the 15
and his successor. A. B. Uzzle Jr.,
was named on the 28th. On the 26
the Board of Elections announced
registrations for the courthouse vote.
On August 13, the new Chicora
