Farm Bureau Hears SBI Head At Annual Meet "It sometimes seems lhai loo many people expect miracles from law enforcement officers. They never want to see an officer until they need one and then they expect him to show up in 30 seconds or less and immediately solve the problem whatever it may be. "But we are not miracle workers and are no belter than our resources and support will allow us to be," said Charles Dunn, director State Bureau of Investigation, at Monday's annual membership meeting of the Hoke County I arm Bureau held in the Hoke High School cafeteria. Limited Training Dunn stressed. "Salaries are low and the rate of increase ... has not kept pace with other professions. Training and* education resources are still limited. "The last Genera! assembly, for instance, failed to provide funds to start a Criminal Justice Academy even though it had the active support of the Governor and law enforcement across the stale." The director continued, "We need to be less concerned about armament and more concerned about the individual officer. We need to be concerned about how well qualified he is. how well educated and trained he is. and how well he is supported by those he serves . . . The investment has to be made where ihe problems of crime are the most expensive and that is at the local level." Parents Responsible Speaking of juvenile delinquency Dunn remarked. "We may need a law that would make parents responsible for their children's actions until they reach a certain age. Tor instance, if a juvenile is given a mini-bike and he violates the law. then the parent should he charged." More than Talk Dunn concluded his talk with. "Crime prevention is meaningful opportunities for youth involvement within the home, the church, the school, the community. It is a well financed and coordinated juvenile corrections program. It is equal justice under the law. It is effective and understanding law enforcement. "Crime prevention is more than talk. It is concern for the young people It is action." Election I arm Bureau officers elected at the meeting are Julian IV Barnes, president. T.J. Harris, vice president; and Pearl M. Childress, secretary ? treasurer. Directors elected are J. H Blythe. J W. Hayes. Proctor Lock lea r. N. L Mcl adyen, Kenneth W. McNeill. Julian B. Mcl.eod and George Shook. Annual Report The farm Bureau annual report indicates a total county membership of 207.

Approximately 22 people attended the ground breaking ceremony of Continental Yarn Corp. in Rockfish. Continental Yarn is the first industry to complete a lease-purchase agreement with Rockfish Enterprises Inc. Last week Herman Koonce. Rockllsh Enterprise president, announced the agree n*ni with Continental Yarn to construct a modern textile plant in RockOsh. Rock fish Enterprise, a local development company organised to bring new indurstries to the area, was formed about ten years ago. The group purchased the Rock fish school building and about six acres of surrounding land. Under the agreement Rockfish Enterprises retains ownership of the land, buildings and machinery and leases them to Continental Yarn. Construction will begin immediately on approximately 28,000 square feet of a modern, air conditioned building for a yarn manufacturing operation which will spin synthetic yarns for the upholstery, drapery trimming and hand knitting trades, reports Ralph W. Barnhart, Continental Yarn Corporation president. The new building will be constructed of brick with one end made of concrete block to allow for future expansion. The other end of the structure will join the presently existing school building. The front portion of the Yarn plant will extend approximately 130 feet. Included in the plans is a lunch room with vending machines. Barnhart says no meals will be served but it is likely hot sandwiches will be available. Machinery is now being installed in the school building for a pilot training operation which will begin to spin yarns as soon as installation is completed. Barnhart said job openings exist for cxpenenced and inexperienced p. sonnet with wages, fringe benefits and working conditions comparable to the trades. Monday marks the day Continental Yarn begins accepting job applications in the office building of the pilot operation. The office will be open Monday through Eriday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Approximately 18 employes will be needed for the pilot operation, said Barnhart, with a continual increase to 70 employees by the time the new building is completed. Expected date of completion is April 30, 1973. He reports job openings for men and women and says it is planned to run three shifts when the plant is in full operation.
