The U. S. Eastern District Court Grand Jury handed down indictme.ts at Raleigh on Monday. according to a story by T. H. Pearce in The Durham '" * Morning Herald.

Norlina Fir< Cat And Mc Members of the Norlina Fire Department played cat and mouse with a fire in a building belonging to the Jerman Walker estate on Thursday night of last week. The two-story building is located across Highway 1 from the Northside elementary school, about a mile north of Norlina. The firemen set the building on fire several times and after the flames began to roar. ? rushed in with water from a boaster tank and put it out \ in a matter of seconds. To make certain of a good fire the firemen saturated wheat straw with kerosene. In a matter of minutes they had a raging fire and in a matter of seconds they put it out. The demonstration in fire fighting ended a four-night school in fog technique taught at the fire house by Edward iriscoe, former firemen of Rocky Mount who is now with the State Insurance Commission. The firemen were also taught the use of the Scott Airpack and demonstrated their training as they groped through a smoke-filled room seeking to locate a man sprawled on the floor of the budding. This demonstration was fol lowed by a demonstration on i fog technique. A blazing fire I ^ was started in one room of the house and firemen began to play their house with a fog 1 nozzle attached. In 58 seconds i the fire had been extinguished. Again the house was set on 1 fire, this time the blaze was i . started in a front room of the i house.

It could not be learned immediately whether there will be further indictments. emeu Play >use At Fire the firemen. They put a couple of gallons of kerosene into a can and tossed it through a window on the blaze. Soon the I flames filled the room and were licking around the outside of the door jam, as the blaze lighted up the surrounding area. The firemen moved in on the blaze. A newspaper cameraman shifted his position to get a better shot and as a result got no picture, as the blaze was out in six. seconds and he was left in darkness. Again the house was set on fire. This time the Norlina firemen accepted a real challenge. They let the fire burn until it got into the r a f t e r s.

John Wiggins .colored, around 35. was captured in a raid at his home near Afton late Saturday afternoon. Leading the raid was Sheriff Jim Hundley, assisted by Deputies Bob Chewning, Bonnie Stevenson and Herbert Rooker. | Following his arrest, Wiggins was cited to appear in Recorders Court yesterday. Hundley said that he and his deputies first searched the home of Wiggins but found no whiskey. He said the odor of whiskey was very pronounced leading to the conclusion that he had poured the booze down the drain upon the approach of the officers. Finding no whiskey in the house, the officers began a search of the surrounding |yard and noticed Wiggins standing near a bush. As the officers approached, he grabbed a half-gallon jar from under the bush and attempted to smash it but was grabbed by Deputy Chewnlng before he could do so. The Warren officers also captured a 300-gallon submarine type still and destroyed around 300 gallons of beer in the Snow Hill community on Wednesday morning. Hundley said the still was not in operation at the time but had been meshed in. On the still raid with Hundley were Deputies Chewnlng and Stevenson.

No final de cision has been reached on the location of the proposed nev bridge across the Roanoke Riv er, but the State Highway Com mission "is leaning toward" the site designated as "Alternate A" one mile upstream from public relations director foi the Commission, said Wednes day. The other proposed location designated as "Alternate B,' is located 1.8 miles upstream from Eaton's Ferry. Beard said engineering sur veys are being conducted tc determine which location is most feasible, but that nresenl Indications favor the "Alter nate A" location. This site ha: already been approved by the Commission's Advance Plan ning Section, and the Bridge Section is studying the locatior to determine whether there might be any unusual construe tlon difficulties at that point Beard said the Commissior will expedite the bridge pro Ject as -rapidly as possible ir order to get it completed be fore river water is im poundec by the new dam to be built near Thelma by Virginia Elee trie and Power Company.

Oxford and Sanford. in a statement the warehouse committee expressed the opinion that the Middle Belt crop will be ready for marketing on September 1. However, it said it was setting the later date "in consideration of the grading service and the buying companies" and because of the lateness of the crop on the Carolina Border Belt. The committee pointed out that the September 6 date "maintains the same spread between opening of Eastein and Middle Belt markets as prevailed in 1959." Eastern Belt markets will open oh August 23. CROP ESTIMATE SHOWS 22% INCREASE OVER 1959 RALEIGH ? Based on re- ;s ports from growers as of August 1, the North Carolina Crop Reporting Service has forecast a flue-cured tobacco crop of 788,975,000 pounds, or just under one-half of one per cent above the July 1 estimate of 5 785,100,000 pounds. Drought damage in the Middle and Old Belts reduced the expected k yield of Type 11 by 25 pounds. This decrease was more than onset by prospects for an increase of 35 pounds in the I y-ield for the Eastern Belt and 50 pounds per acre in the Bor- m der Belt Some localities in JM the latter two areas have reported that heavy rains have 1 resulted In some losses from ;-J irowning in low lying fields I and the inability of producers to provide sufficient barn a space for the rapidly ripening a (See MARKET, page 8) H /^m I jjj I NORMAN Mc ARTHUR ~ " * MI 1 rauuinur is new Voc.
