High Powered Garbage
FLAG RAISING - Workmen hoist the flags over the highest point of a giant
$1.6 million dollar roller coaster under construction at Carowinds. Since the
coaster will eventually cross the North Carolina-South Carolina state line, flags
from both states, plus the American flag, were raised at the highest point of 93
feet above ground. The attraction will be finished late this year.

What do you do with tons of
waste material - when it poses a fire
hazard?
This problem is not easy to solve,
and some industries consider it a real
problem. But up in the Uni-Four
Area of Western North Carolina a
way has been found, says state
director James T. Johnson of the
Farmers Home Administration.
This area - Alexander. Burke,
Caldwell, and Catawba Counties -
manufactures a considerable quantity
of North Carolina's important
wooden furniture. Wastes such as
wiping rags, scrapings from spray
booths, and finishing liquids are
highly flammable, sometimes
explosive, and very subject to
spontaneous combustion.
Fires often erupt from such
materials stored outside industrial

Helms Sponsors
Food Stamp Bill
Seantor Jesse Helms has joined a
group of 17 Senators in proposing a
reform of the food stamp program,
designed to eliminate abuses.
The new legislation is designed to
save $2 billion the first year, and
would stop the sharply rising number
of people being added to the food
stamp rolls.
The bill has been referred to the
Senate Agriculture Committee,
where Helms is a member.
plant*. A serious tire could lead to
destruction of a plant and loss of
employment to several hundred
people. Such a happening occurred
recently in one area of the state.
State regulations do not allow
sanitary landfills to accept these
combustible wastes. Other methods
of disposal have proven so costly as
to justify plant closing or employee
layoffs.
Safety of the workers and the
economy of the area have been at
stake. Some 238,000 people live in
the region involved.
The first incinerator in North
Carolina to dispose of such waste is
to be located at the southern end of
Caldwell County to serve these four
counties -- Region H of the state's
multi-county planning districts.
Funding is to be done by an
industrial development grant from
Farmers Home Administration, said
Johnson, along with a planned grant
from the Appalachian Regional
Commission, and the remainder from
local sources of the area.
A survey of the quantities of waste
being generated in the area indicated
that an average of over 12,000 lbs. of
hazardous combustible and 544.000
lbs. of non-hazardous combustible
material had to be disposed of each
day. The proposed incinerator is a
two-chamber system which rapidly
reduces all burnable solid or liquid
wastes to a bare minimum of sterile
ash. A hopper will be used for solid
dry wastes not highly combustible. A
separate dock is to be available for
materials subject to spontaneous
combustion.
The incinerator will meet area air
pollution requirements, stated
Johnson. Safety features built into
the incinerator include a flame
safeguard system and C02 cylinders
or a water spray device to extinguish
fires caused by wastes remaining on
the end of the ram feeder. A spray
system will also be used over the belt
conveyor system.
Industries and other users of the
incinerator system will be charged a
rate sufficient to cover the annual
operating expenses of the
incinerator.
Other heavily industrialized areas
of North Carolina might well
investigate the incinerator method of
disposing of combustible waste.
Johnson added. Such projects are
funded through the Rural
Development Act of 1974 to assure
continued employment or create new
jobs. Information may be obtained
from the state office of FmllA, 310
New Bern Avenue in Raleigh, or the
local offices serving each county in
the state.
This Is The Law
Competency Of Witnesses
May the defendant in a crimina
proceeding be required to testify?
No. A person accused of a crimr
may testify at his request, but h<
cannot be compelled to do so.
Once a witness waives his privilege
against self ? incrimination, he may
be required to answer question:
concerning the crime charged as well
as questions designed to discredit
hint as a witness. He may be
impeached by evidence of bad
character and by cross - examination
with respect to the commission of
other crimes.
A North Carolina statute provides
that the failure of an accused person
to testify in his own behalf "shall not
create any presumption against him."
The effect of this statute is to
prohibit all references to, or
comments on, the defendant's failure
to testify. It is improper for the
solicitor in arguing his case to the
jury to comment 011 the fact that the
accused did not take the stand in
defense of himself.
A defendant in a criminal case
waives his privilege of self ?
incrimination by the bare act of
becoming a witness at his own trial.
But since an ordinary witness (one
other titan the accused in a criminal
case) may be compelled to testify
generally, he must wait until he is
asked a question, the answer to
which may incriminate him, before
he can refuse to answer a question on
the ground of self ? incrimination.
A husband has been indicted for
murder. The only witness to the
crime is his wife. May the wife be
compelled to testify against her
husband?
No. The defendant's wife not only
cannot be compelled to testify, but
she will not be permitted to testify
even in those instances where she
desires to do so.
The general rule is that a husband
or wife cannot give evidence against
each other in a criminal proceeding.
There are some minor exceptions in
North Carolina, for example, a wife
is competent to testify against her
husband in a criminal prosecution for
an assault and battery upon his wife,
and for abandoning and neglecting to
provide for his wife and children.
