Whiteville Man Dies In Crash Death was instant for James Hammonds, 55, when his automobile crashed into a tractor-trailer outfit on US 701 a mile north of Whiteville Thursday afternoon. Driver of the truck, Frederick Lane Ray, 38, of Rt. 1 Tabor City, is reported to be in fairly good condition at the Columbus County Hospital where he was admitted following the accident. Ray suffered chest injuries, lacerations to head, back and leg. Trooper J. B. Nipper deduced from his investigation that the Hammonds auto, a 1966 Chrysler, was proceeding southward on .US 701 when it crossed the center line into the path of the northbound truck and trailer bearing 24,000 pounds of tobacco. Hammonds was homeward bound from Lumberton where his wife had undergone minor surgery Thursday morning. Hammonds was senior employee of The News Reporter in longevity. His career as newspaper pressman started 40 years ago when he entered the field under guidance of his brother, the late Willie V. Hammonds. In the succeeding years he learned the mechanics and operation of the newspaper’s back-shop operations except typesetting. His widow is the former Mary Elizabeth Smith. Also surviving is a son, James Thomas Hammonds. Final rites were observed yesterday (Sunday) at 3:30 at New Hope Baptist Church of which he was a member, with burial in the church cemetery. The pastor, the Rev. Maurice Gilliam, officiated. Survivors in addition to his widow and son are two half-sisters, Mrs. Susie Soles and Mrs. Katie Hill, both of Whiteville. Pallbearers were from among his co-workers: Earl Norris, Duval Norris, Jim High, James M. Harper, Elgie Clemmons and Elisha Sellers. SOUTHPORT VISITORS Dr. and Mrs. R.

Household Appliances Set To Relieve Energy> Time Today’s modern living in creases the demand for house hold appliances to relieve time and energy expended for every day tasks and chores around the home0 Appliances can help do work, increase comfort, save time and maintain appearances. “However,” reminds Mrs. Justine j.Rozier, extension home management specialist. North Carolina state University,” un less an appliance is chosen care fully with the user’s needs in mind, it can be more of a nuis ance than a help. There are some important questions to be asked and answer ed even before shopping for an appliance, the specialist be lieves. They include; Will this appliance really be used or is it wanted only be cause "everyone else” has one? Will the new appliance be used frequently and to best advantage or will it be used for just a once or twice a year job? Is there something else in the house that is already doing the job more satisfactory than the new appliance will? Is there a “place” to keep this appliance where it will be easy and convenient to use? Counter space in most houses is limited. Are all the extra gadgets, but tons and accessories necessary or will a more “standard” model serve needs as well? A standard model is usually less expensive to buy, repair and frequently costs less to operate. Could this money be used to better advantage for something else? Will cash or credit be used for purchase? A cash purchase will cost less but may not be possible. Shop around for cre dit. Compare costs. Safety, should be another im portant consideration in purchas ing appliances, as well as in proper use and care. Accidents are most likely to happen when home appliances are not selected wisely, are installed improperly, are not used according to direc tions or are not repaired re paired when necessary. January-July U.S. Savings Bonds and Freedom Share sales of $38,351,399 were the best peacetime sales for the period in the history of the Bonds Projram. This amounted to an increase of 5 per cent over 1967 January-July sales and represented 55.7 per cent of the state’s 1968 sales goal of $68,800,000. Sales in Brunswick County for the month of July amounted to $1758. Combined January-July sales amounted to $25,524, which is 61.8 per cent of the county’s dollar quota for 1968 of $41,280, according to Aubrey C. Johnston, Brunswick County Volunteer Chairman. Savings Bond Sales Increase Students To Get W-2’s For Safekeeping Thousands of students who worked during the summer months will soon be receiving their forms W-2 (tax withholding statements) from their em ployers. J. E. Wall, North Carolina District Director, has reminded students to place their W-2’s in a safe place so the forms will be available when the time comes to file 1968 income tax returns. Wall said that refunds of tax withheld on wages can only be obtained through the filing of i tax return. Returns for 1968 are filed between January 1 and ft k: \;S-0' April 15, 1969. Wall pointed out that parents of full-time students, or non students under age 19, may claim their children as dependents if the parent furnishes major support for the child during the year. Married full-time students may be claimed by parents who furnish the child’s chief support unless the child files a joint return with his or her spouse. The Atlantic salmon, whose numbers have diminished in recent years, once was so plentiful that some indentured servants in the 1700’s demanded contracts specifying that they would not be forced to eat salmon more than three times a week. Most of the oceans’ waves are caused by wind. The harder it blows, the bigger the waves. Young Visitors Seek To Serve Notice a group of young strangers here traveling together last week?
