Norlina Police Chief Romie Williams said that Tuck, said to be an employee of the Sea board-Coast Line Rail road, went to his home on Friday night and found his wife Selma Tuck, not present.

Apparently, the officer said, Tuck went into the house where he found his wife with a man identi fied as James Crossin, age 67. Tuck is said to have attacked both his wife and Crossin with a chair. Tuck, according to the Police Chief's account, is said to have carried his wife to the home of his daughter, Deborah Tuck, for her to recuperate and clean up. Williams said that his investigation indicated that Tuck's wife was conscious at that time and talked to her husband and daughter while they were cleaning her up and dressing her wounds. Police said they were not called into the case until around 6:20 this morning when James Crossin called for help. Sgt. James Champion said that he arrived at the Moseley house to find Crossin beaten severely. He said tht he then called for an ambulance and had Crossin transported to Warren General Hos pital where he was described as being in a serious condition. He was said to have suffered two broken arms, internal injuries and several ex* ternal cuts. Champion said that while being transported to the hospital, Crossin accused Tuck of inflict ing the beating upon him self and Tuck's wife. Champion said that while he was at the hospital he received a call to go to the residence of Deborah Tuck. Champion said that he and Warren County am bulance attendant Dennis Paschall went to the Tuck home where they found Selma Tuck who was ap parently dead.

The news headlines show that crime is on the increase in Warren Coun ty. We are all victims of crime either directly or indirectly. Crime reduces our quality of life by threatening human dig nity, wasting human potential, disrupting families, inflating taxes and prices, and causing loss of property. Criminals are all ages, all colors, all sizes, and have different motiva tions. Most crimes are crimes of opportunity. If you eliminate the oppor tunity, you could avoid the crime. Reported loss es in North Carolina from farm thefts in 1978 exceeded $3,000,000. More than 700 pieces of farm equipment were reported stolen the same year. Many crimes occur sim ply because homes, ve hicles, and other belong ings are not properly secured. Community Watch, Operation I.D., Farm Equipment I.D., Home Security, and De fensive Living can make your community a safer place. Learn on Feb. XI how these programs can work for you!

Is your life and property worth one day of your time? Remember we are all potential victims of crime and all hearers of the cost of crime.

Department of Crime Control and Public Safety will give workshops on domestic violence, community watch, and operation I.D. at the Warren County Crime Prevention Program on February 21 at 9:30 A. M. Warning Is Issued About Planting Maryland Leaf A word of caution has been given to Warren County farmers planning to plant some Maryland or non-quota type of tobacco this year. The warning came from Thomas E. Watson, executive director of the Warren County ASCS Office. Watson said that pro ducers should fully un derstand the problems they may encounter if Maryland and flue-cured tobacco is planted on the same farm. "Maryland type tobac co will be considered as flue-cured for program purposes by the ASCS until the Agricultural Marketing Service deter mines it to be a non-quota type," Watson warned. "This usually is done at the time the non-quota is sold." He said if non-quota and flue-cured tobacco is planted on the same farm, the non-quota acre age could cause the farm to be planted in excess of the flue-cured allotment, causing loss of price support for the flue-cured tobacco. "It is suggested that non-quota or Maryland type tobacco be planted on a farm that has no effective flue-cured allot ment for 1961," Watson said. "The acreage of Maryland tobacco must be reported to the ASCS Office as required for flue-cured. Anyone plan ning to plant some of this tobacco for 1981 should get all the facts before starting the crop." Watson also announced that the premeasurement of crops is available to Warren County produc Jurors Are Selected For District Court Session ine names 01 v> Warren residents have been drawn for jury duty for a civil session of Warren County District Court which will begin here Monday at 10 a. m.

Stamp Recipients Must Note Change > A federal law requires food stamp recipients in North Carolina to report changes in their circum stances to the County Department of Social Services immediately. J. W. Farrar, director erf the Warren County Department of Social Services, says wily cer tain changes fall within the Federal require ments. For example, if a client finds employment, changes his address, or has a change in the number of people in his household, he should notify the Food Stamp Office within 10 days. This will ensure the household of receiving the number of food stamps to which they are legally entitled. In some instances, it is to the client's benefit to report a change. If a household member's in come stops or decreases, the whole family may be entitled to an increase in the number of stamps received moothly. There is a state-wide push to cut down on the number of food stamps erroneously issued, (tee of the ways to accomplish this is by making each recipient aware of his or her rights and responsi bilities. At the time of hold is given a Change Report Form, along with
