Younts Acquitted
On Driving Charge
Brought By Riders
Old Law Against
Frightening Horses
Cited During Case
Jack S. Younts, general mana
ger of Radio Station WEEB, was
tried and acquitted in Moore re
corders court Monday of a charge
of careless and reckless driving
causing horses to become fright-
jned, under an old statute seldom
if ever invoked before in the
county.
He was indicted by Mrs. Mary
F. Dixon of Pinehurst, who said
that horses ridden by herself and
Robert Freels, a groom, became
extremely frightened when
founts passed them in the WEEB
station wagon, at what she and
Freels both estimated at “around
70 miles an hour,” with siren
olowing, on the Connecticut Ave
nue Extension road to Fort Bragg
Tuesday, November 17.
Younts denied on the stand that
he was driving in excess of 50
miles an hour. He said that he
had just received a radio flash of
cne fatal airdrop accident on DZ
Holland, in which 15 men were
killed, and was on his way to ren
der what aid he could.
It was brought out by the de
fense that Younts is communica
tions chairmam of the N. C. Civil
Defense program, also disaster
gnd relief chairman of the local
Red Cross. He is also, through his
station, a member of the Associa
ted Press and it was in the field
of public information he was
placed on duty following his ar
rival at Fort Bragg, remaining on
duty for 10 hours, and getting the
story of the accident, including
casualty lists, to the world.
He said that, on the way to the
reservation, as he rounded a bend
on the sandclay road about a half-
mile past the Bethesda road in
tersection he saw two horses and
riders but observed no signs of
distress, nor any signal made with
lifted arm or hand.
The statute. Article 7, Section
20-216, says that a motor vehicle
passing a horse, or horses, “o&
other draft animals” must stop if
a rider raises his arm, allow a
“reasonable time” for the animals’
fright to subside, and render what
aid he can.
Mrs. Dixon and Freels both tes
tified that their horses became
frightened to the extent it requir
ed a very strong effort to control
them' and prevent disaster. They
said other cars had passed them
and caused no trouble, but that
the horses became agitated at the
first sound of the station wagon’s
siren, and that Freels held up his
arm to try and get the car to stop
as it approached over about a
200-yard distance. With siren still
blcwing, they said, the vehicle
dashed by.
State Highway Patrolman Low-
rimore was also a witness, testify
ing as to the condition of the
road.
W. A. Leland McKeithen of
Pinehurst, defense attorney, em
phasized the “mission of mercy”
on which Younts was headed, find
read a letter of commendation
written by the Associated Press
for his excellent service in gather
ing and disseminating the news of
the paratroop tragedy. Though he
was not called on in his civil de
fense and Red Cross capacities,
the attorney said he had stood
ready to serve, as a trained man.
Solicitor W. Lamont Brown in
his summation cited another stat
ute, whereby even ambulances
trust obey the speed laws when
otherwise human life woulu h.e
endangered, and pointed out that
the automobile driver has mech
anical controls he can use at any
time, whereas the rider of a horse
can control his mount up to a cer
tain point. He also questioned
Younts’ right to use the siren, and
the relevance of citing civil de
fense and Red Cross jobs, adding,
“It is apparent he was there as
a reporter only.”
Judge J. Vance Rowe, in ac
quitting the defendant, said he
could not be convinced ‘Tjeyond
a reasonable doubt” that careless
and reckless driving was involv
ed, or that Younts had seen '"or
could have been expected to see”
Freels’ upraised arm under the
circumstances, or to have recog
nized it as a signal of distress.
The law is an old cne, and
court officials could not remem
ber its having been invoked in
modern times. Freels said he
knew of it “because they have a
similar law in Tennesssee,” his
native state.

FHEATRES
CAKOLINA
Continuing through this Thurs
day, Friday and Saturday, De
cember 3-4-5 at 8:15 p. m., with a
Saturday m-ctinee at 3 at the Car
olina Theatre, is “Thunder Over
the Plains” in WarnerColor, star
ring Randolph Scott. This is a
well-made, tailcred-to-his-talents
drama set in post-Civil War Texas
and having to do with the ma
chinations of some carpetbaggers
to keep the state in continual un
rest and thus out of the Union.
Supporting the star are PhyUis
Kirk, as his wife, and Lex Barker,
a recent Tarzan as Scott’s junior
officers in the army c-f occupation.
The gayest week of the entire
year will be remembered after
the week of December 6, when
that glorious entertainment “Kiss
Me Kate” will occupy the screen
at the Carolina Theatre the en
tire week at 8:15 p. m. with mati
nees Sunday,,Tuesday and Satur
day at 3 p. m. Now running at the
New York Music Hall, it is bright
and merry as a box of sugar
candy, tinkling as tunefully as a
music box, and bubbling with en
tertainment every second of its
109 minutes of running time.
Taken from the successful
Broadway Musical play, out of
Shakespeare’s “Taming Of The
Shrew,” the picture follows the
Spewack production closely with
the mobility of the motion picture
camera and superb Technicolor
adding greatly to the over-all ef
feet.
The Bard would have approved
the music and lyrics by Cole Por
ter in depth and at a quality level
which must certainly set a record
for a single composer-lyricist.
There are no less than 14 major
song numbers, ranging from
“Wunderbar” to “Too Darn Hot.”
Participating in this festival
comedy, modern sophistication
and engaging music are Howard
Keel and Kathryn Grayson With
important support from- Ann
Miller, Keenan Wynn and Jdmes
Whitme-re.
“Kiss Me Kate” is an entertain
ment treat for all and it promises
to be the best of the entire year.
It has everything from slap-stick
to Shakespeare, including sizable
helpings of romance, farce, spec
tacle and oneretta—or what is
yotm taste? You name it—“Kate”
has it.
