Most every town in Duplin County is making a concentrat ed effort to clean up and beau tify our towns. If the young folks will cooperate, the work of the older folks will really show up. % Garbage cans are placed in each town, and on every high way in the county. Why wouldn't It be Just as great sport to throw the cans at the garbage can and see what a good marks man you are. In the first place, you are not being a good citizen when you are a litter ~bug; In the second place, you are showing no civic pride for your present and future home; in the third place, it is against the law.

"I Four-lane Fairway...Friond or N)e Plans to widen the heavily traveled N C Highway 24, whlcn Is also main street through the town of Beulaville, drew fire from some half dozen opposers at a public hearing Wednesday. The hearing was conducted at the Beulaville town hall, which was filled to capacity, most of which endorsed the project and felt It was "a step toward pro gress." The project, If approved, would expand the present two lane, 26 foot highway to 64 feet, with four traffic lanes and parallel parking on each side. The project Is estimated to cost $300,000. Beulavllle would be required topav$35,000 of the estlmated$110,000needed to acquire the right-of-way for the 1.4 miles Involved. The highway department was represented by W. A.

One lady protested that her yard would be absorbed by the project and her visiting grand children would have no place to play. One man opposed it be cause he said it would "take my house." One of the largest stores in town would be cut back 13 feet. A spokesman said they wanted that "put on the back of the store" as they could not afford to lose that space.

About a hundred Boy Scouts, Cub Scouts, Den mothers, and adult leaders lined up to board the train In Rose HQ1. The air was crisp and cold, but the railroad track was lined with parents and friends to give the boys a real "send off' for their trip to Halifax. It has been a long time since a passenger train of this length has passed through Duplin County or since such a dele gation has turned out to meet a train. The train picked up Scouts In Wallace, Rose Hill, Warsaw, Mount Olive, and Goldsboro. In Goldsboro a ceremony was held at the station. Each boy carried his lunch, which was eaten on the train. He also car ried a small American flag, and a letter to a serviceman In Viet Nam. The aim of the pil grimage was a reaffirmation of the scout's belief in God and their country. The small town of Halifax, North Carolina was crowded with scouts and adults from all of eastern North Carolina. It was here that 191 years ago the colony of North Carolina announced Its freedom from England three months before the siting of the Declaration of Independence.

P.'S agreed to be "guinea pigs" last Thursday when a Breathalyzer demonstration was held In the Duplin County Court House. The demonstration was given by Trooper, C. F. Futrell of Jack sonville. In order to use the Breath alyzer, anyone who oper -ssthe machine must be certWed by the State Board of Heahfe,' They must go through a 10 day school and pass a rigid examination. The permit must be renewed every 15 months. Instructors at the school are from the In stitute of Government, Law en forcement officers and Health Departments. To conduct the experiment the three volunteer M. P.'s from Camp Lejeune had been given six ounces of 100 proof whis key within 3 hours, and six oun ces of Coca Cola. One boy was a large frame heavy set fellow, the second a medium size '.man and the third a tall thin person. On each boy Troop er Futrell gave the test of balance, walking the line, touch ing nose with eyes closed and picking up coins. Then they were tested by the machine which is completely automatic and sterilized after each use. The first subject's blood alco hol content was .05%, the second .11% and the third .10%. Ten percent Is the minimum stand ard set for safe driving, and a person can be arrested for driving under the Influence. Eventhough the boys had passed all of the physical tests well, two of them were not capable of safe driving. When a driver Is suspected of driving under the Influence he must be seen driving by the Patrolman. A questionnaire Is . 'Illcd out and the object has the right to take or refuse the Breathalyzer test, bufa driver has given his Implied consent when he buys his license. The Breathalyzer Is a most fair machine. It detects the difference between alcohol and Insulin. The machine collects air from the lungs and not the mouth. Patrolman Futrell gave the demonstration before about 50 law enforcement officers, law yers and other Interested par ties. About 33 law officers of the state, and 82 patrolmen have been trained in using the Breath alyzer.
