Keep Quiet, Sober Up . . . Or Both Advice To Drunks Who Public drunks read Su premc Court opinions and wh< have taunted officers with "You can’t arrest me without a war-, rant,” will be well advised to be quiet, sober up, or do both.! The two houses have passed a : bill which permits officers to arrest without a warrant for mis demeanors committed in their presence. In fact, an officer may arrest whenever lie has rea sonable ground to believe that a misdmeanor has been committed in his presence. It was this lat ter provision that stirred House, members to the longest debate of j the session. Advocates contended that the “reasonable grounds to believe” provision was needed \ to protect the officers and to re move from them the burden of being insurers of conviction. Op-; ponents declared that this pro- j vision unduly infringed on the rights of citizens, and that i deprived them of, the right U resist an unlawful arrest. (The right to arrest for felonies was never challenged, and the law on the point is unchanged.) When ratified this week, the bill becomes law. and the legisla ture will have overrulled (at the Court’s own suggestion) the Supreme Court decision that un less a misdemeanor amounted to a breach of the peac-;, an officer must have a warrant for a valid arrest..., The tables were turn ed in the Senate on another crim inal procedure bill. After a de bate that lasted even longer than the House debate on the arrest bill, by a vote of twenty six to twenty-two the Senate defeated a bill proposing a constitutional amendment o authorise the teg* islature to permit defendants in non-capital cases, when represent ed by counsel, to waive jury trial.

The phone number has not been changed. n v au mandatory sou icsi re iquiigipents under the Agricultur al Conservation Program have | been lifted for 1955, according to A. K. McAdams, office manage of the county ASC office. | At a recent meeting attended h" beads of Agricultural Ageacie* ! at trie sram does not by any means in dicate a feeling on the part of Agricultural leaders that soil test-. i»g 4s .not 4t .vital and. jUTjnanent part of good farming practice. This change was made merely be I estfte' • :aHi.' toil '■ "testing-- -^*elitti«y ■ available to Tar Heel farmers are just not adequate to handle .the trmendous volume of samples be ing submitted under 'the ACP program. The State Laboratory now has a backlog of over ten thousand samples If the manda tory soil-- test requirement was contihiied for spring practices,^ thousands of farmers would be; left out in the cold as far as cost-share assistance under the ACP is concerned. Our state can not afford to lose even the small-, est fraction of possible soil and water conservation, much less the "amount represented by thousands of untested samples, Guthrie pointed out. ' Soi' testing is still strongly rec ommended for all vegetative cov- !: er practices under the Agricul- i tura! Conservation program. ! i ; Letters Mailed ! 400 Accounts j * \ Five Years Old An intensive drive aimed'at de- . linquent Orange County, taxpayers and designed to collect by civil prosecution if necessary taxes now overdue by at least five years was begun this week. The whole problem of tax suits was handed to Chapel Kill Attor ney Emery Denny Jr. -several months ago by the County Com missioners. This week the first batch of over 400 letters were mailed out, giv ing citizens who owe tax bills at least five years old six weeks to come in and settle up or face civil suits in the courts. _ :■; No estimate of the amount of. money represented by the more than 400 accounts delinquent five years or more was available, but County Tax Supervisor Sam Oat- * tis estimated they ranged from a few cents to several hundred-dol lars for some of them. Decision to go after delinquent ax monies owed the county with enewed vigor was made by the . Board of Commissioners shortly after the new board took office." Denny Will conduct the suits for the county on a percentage basis with the agreement that he will nter into negotiations with the commissioners for compensation in the event of complicated or long Irawnout cases. 4-H Clubbers Will Observe Annual Week Orange County 4-lf member! will begin their observance of lia-._ ional 4-H Club Week, March 3 13, with a county-wide Recreation Might.
