Wallace And Beulaville Lose Out In
Battle For Routing Of Highway US 13
Wallace, Chinquapin, Beulaville
and Harrells lost in the battle to
get proposed Federal Highway 13
before the present State Highway
Commission.
Following a hearing before the
Commission in Raleigh last week
the Commission voted to recom
mend to the American Association
of State Highway officials that U.
S, 13 in eastern North Carolina be
Extended from Windsor, where it
terminates at present ,to Golds
boro. It would run by way of Wil
liamston, Robersonville, Goldsboro,
Mount Olive and Faison.
It would not run along the route
previously approved and heartily
endorsed by the State Highway
Commission in 1953. At that time
the Kinston, Pink Hill, Beulaville,
Wallace, Harrels route was propos
ed. Elizabethtown may also be
excepted from the present rout
ing.
Representing Wallace at the hear
ing were Mayor J. Willard Hoffler,
who acted as spokesman, Claude
Hepler, representing the civic
clubs. Dr. John D. Robinson, Jr.,
representing the Chamber of Com
merce and J. W. Aycock, Sr., rep
resenting businessmen.
Charlie McCullers, director of the
Kinston Chamber of Commerce,
spearheaded the efforts of the 1953
group. A man from Robersonville
who was elected two weeks ago
to act as spokesman for the 1953
recommended route suddenly turn
ed neutral at the meeting. The
road will go through Robersonville
under any circumstances. It will
also go through Snow Hill, home
of a present Highway Commission
er and Goldsboro, home of another
Highway Commissioner.
In 1953 a delegation from the
Highway Commission, along with
Engineer W. H. Rogers, surveyed
the proposed route through Kinston,
Pink Hill, Beulavllle, Chinquapin,
Wallace, Harrells and White Lake
and heartily endorsed the route.
The group stopped for refreshments
at Wallace, took a brief tour of
the Carter Febrics plant, and went
on to dinner at Melvin’s Beach at
White Lake.
Last week's recommendations of
the Commission will be made after
completion of a new bridge across
the Tar River at Greenville. It is
estimated that construction will
take 18 to 24 months.
In the meantime a new Governor i
and Highway Commission will be
elected and appointed, a spokesman
pointed out. “We won the 1953
battle, lost the 1955 battle, but
still have a chance to win the
war,” he said.
Actually, the North Carolina
highway commission does not have
the power to designate federal
marked routes. That is within the
province of the National Associa
tion of Highway Officials. There
are few, if any, cases on record
where the national association fail
ed to follow recommendations of a
State highway commission.
Crops In Better Shape At End Of June
This Year Than Last Despite Less Rain
The 71.85 degree average tempe
rature of June 1955 is the coolest
June on record at the Coastal
Plain Station at Willard, Jesse W.
Sumner, assistant director in
charge, said today.
June of 1952 had a high of 79.9
degree average which is the high
est on record for June.
Although this area had one-and
a half inches more rain in June of
1954 than in June of 1955 it all fell
in a period of five days while the
rain of June 1955 fell over a 13
day period. With the rain fall
ing on 13 separate days this en
abled the crops to utilize it more
efficiently and as a result crops
are in better shape at the end of
June this year than last year, Sum
ner observed.
The. highest temperature of 1955
appeared on the same day as the
lowest of 1954, June 6th.
There were six days in June
1955 with a temperature of 90 de
grees or above while there were 15
*laVs of 90 degrees or above in
1954.
Rainfall for the sixth month was
3.46 inches while in 1954 it was
4.96 inches. Both years were de
partures from normal, this year’s
being 2.24 inches below normal.
Rainfall for the first half year
was 16.54 inches, a departure from
normal of 7.06 inches. Last year’s
rainfall through June measured
20.66 inches, 2.94 inches below nor
mal. The average temperature
last year was 77.10 degrees. This
year’s average of 71.85 is 4.35 de
grees below normal.
The highest temperature occur
red, Sumner said, with a 95 de
gree reading. Last year's high was
100 on June 27. 48 degrees was the
low reading both years.
The last recorded rain at the
Coastal Plain Station was on Sun
day the 26th when the heaviest
rainfall of the month occurred, .93
inches falling.
Rainy days in June and the am
ount were: 7, .01; 8, .02; 9, .36;
11, .04; 12, .03; 18, .64; 19, .84; 20,
.30; 22, .09; 23, .01; 24, .05; 25, .14;

Planting Of 1956 Flue Cured Crop May
Be Cut 12 Per Cent,- Vote On July 23rd
Planting of the 1956 flue-cured
tobacco crop would be cut about
12 per cent under a proposed pro
duction and marketing control pro
gram announced today by the Ag
riculture Department, which ord
ered a grower referendum to be
held on July 23.
The proposal calls for allotment
of 889,000 acres for next year’s
crop as compared with 1,007,000
acres allotted for this year’s crop.
State planting allotments will be
announced later.
The national marketing quota
proclaimed for the marketing year
1956-57 is 1,130,000,000 pounds as
compared with the 1955-56 quota of
1,270,000,000 pounds.
In the referendum, flue-cured to
bacco growers will have three choi
ces: (1) For quotas for the 1956,
1957 and 1958 crops: (2) for quotas
--lor the 1956 crop only, or (3) a
gainst quotas.
The department stated that in a
' >similar referendum held July 19,
1952, growers favored marketing
quotas for three years (1953 thr
ough 1955) by a 97.8 per cent vote,
with one per cent favoring quotas
for one year and the remaining 1.2
per cent voting against quotas. The
total vote was 260,163.
Marketing quotas have been in
effect for flue-cured tobacco every
year since the enactment of the
Agricultural Adjustment Act of
1938, except for the 1939 crop, when
they were disapproved by growers.
Marketing quotas can continue in
effect only if approved by at least
two-thirds of the growers voting in
the referendum. When quotas are
in effect, tobacco produced in ex
cess of the farm allotment is sub
ject to a marketing penalty and
price support is available at 90 per
cent of parity.
If quotas are disapproved by
growers in the Saturday, July 23,
referendum, they will not be in
effect for the 1956 crop, and no
price support will be available.
The law requires that the Secre
tary of Agriculture proclaim tobac
co marketing quotas each year af
ter the total supply once exceeds
the reserve supply. As of today, the
estimated total supply is 3,300,000,

Mystery Farm Identified As
Elmore Jenkins Farm, Teachey
This week’s mystery farm, as
many readers informed us, belongs
to Elmore Jenkins and is located
near Teachey.
Jenkins bought the 166-acre
tract ten years ago from Lib
Moore. During his ownership he
and his family have continually
worked to improve the land.
Among innovations since 1945
have been the clearing of 75 acres
on the tract, as well as setting up
a drainage system.
Mr. Jenkins was married to the

home, works elsewhere.
The daughter, now Mrs. J. W.
-ffiirner, lives in Goldsboro.
The Jenkins are affiliated with
the Wallace Methodist Church.
Principal crops on the Jenkins
farm are tobacco and cow feed.
In the way of livestock they own
a number of cows, horses and
mules. Cows, however, are the
favorite of the landowner.

New Legislation
IsAidToNC’s
Practical Nurses
The place of the Licensed Prac
tical Nurse on the health team of
North Carolina will be greatly
strengthened by the action of the
1955 Legislature in two important
ways, according to Miss Joyce War
ren, Chairman of the North Caro
lina Board of Nurse Registration
and Nursing Education.
The new' legislation should pro
vide for thoroughly trained prac
tical nurses and for better li
censing control of the group, she
said.
Most important of these ,is the
requirement of a 12 months course
of training in an accredited school
of practical nursing in order for
the applicant to be eligible for the
Practical Nurse Licensure Exam
ination by the Board after July 1,
1956. Until that time persons de
siring certification as a licensed
practical nurse may take the ex
amination after properly endors
ed experience and informal train
ign, under the “waiver” provisions
of the existing law.
A course or certificate from a
commercial or correspondence
school of practical nursing does
aot qualify a person for practical
aurse licensure in North Carolinaa.
The second important phase of
;he new law is the strengthening
af the licensure procedure requir
;d of the licensed practical nurse.
1'he fee for the examination and
initial certification is $10.00. The
innual licensure renewal fee has
aeen increased from one dollar to
wo dollars, effective next Janu
lry. In addition a penalty fee of
jhree dollars plus the renewal fee
las been established for those who
io not renew their license on or
aefore January 1 of each year,
rhe last examination to be given
o the so-called “waiver” appli
cants w-ill be on July 25, 1956, Miss
iVarren said. Other examinations
or the group in the intervening
jeriod will be on July 27 and
cjovember 9 of this year, and on
March 21, of 1956. Applications
nust be on file with the Board
jy July 6 for the next examina
ion and tw'enty to twenty-five
lays prior to each scheduled ex
imination.
Mrs. Sawyer To
Join Penderlea
School Faculty
Mrs. Norma R. Sawyer will join
the Penderlea school faculty, where
she will teach the eighth grade.
Mrs. Sawyer received her educa
tion at Vanceboro Farm Life
School. High School, Vanceboro,
North Carolina and attended East
Carolina College, Greenville, North
Carolina. She received her AB de
gree this summer.
Mrs. Sawyer has had thirteen
years experience, teaching at
Maysville School in Jones County
for two years, Conetoe School in
Edgecombe County for seven years
and until the present, she has
taught for the past four years at
Rocky Point School.
Mrs. Sawyer stated she had
found eighth grade boys and girls
an interesting age group to teach.
"Many students”, she said, “by
the time they have reached the
eighth grade, have learned to
work independently. It is not un
usual to find they have developed
many fields of interest pertinent
i to everyday living and the prob
lems of our day.”
Mother Nature
Overcomes Some
Freeze Effects
The freeze of March 27-28 showed
j the ignorance of mere humans
j when it comes to the plant world,
| according to W. A. Stephen, ex
! tension beekeeper at State College.
| Tulip trees, also know as yellow
I poplars, that were ready to bloom
the end of March were in a very
critical condition and the freeze
killed all the leaves and every
| visible sign of bloom.
“It looked as if the bloom was
; finished and that the bees, which
j depend on the tulip trees for a
I large percentage of nectar during
! the early hony flow, were to be
j deprived of that source,” Stephen
|said. “However, the trees are mak
ing good. Seven weeks after the
| freeze the trees are in full leaf
^nd, while not as full of bloom as
! indicated before the freeze, are
j showing many blossoms and it ap
pears that the blooming period will
be more prolonged.

Pumping Equipment Slowly Draining
Lake To Recover Drowned Boy’s Body
Fire departments from ail towns'
in Duplin County were busy along
with irrigation equipment this
morning draining Hall’s Lake in an
effort to locate the body of a
young Wilmington boy who drown
ed there about 4 o'clock yesterday
afternoon.
Explorer Scouts from Wallace
were on the scene as well as law
enforcement officers from all over
Duplin. The Scouts were probing
and diving in the area the drown
ed youth w'as last seen as well as
a wide surrounding area. Officers
were directing traffic and rescue
operations. The crowd at 8 o’clock
had swelled to about three hundred
people. Late yesterday afternoon
and last night's crowd of onlook
ers was approximately 500, observ
ers thought.
Wallace volunteer firemen and
| others dived continuously until af
j ter dark Sunday night in an effort
i to locate the body. Grappling
hooks wore* aisu tnijJiuyeu. uuvv
ever, the efforts of divers .is well
as equipment was frustrated by the
countless thousands of cypress
knees, roots, stumps and debris on
the bottom of the 20 acre pond.
The missing youth was identified
as Billy Merritt, 18, a recent high
school graduate, lie is the son of
James and Myrtle Merritt of Wil
min :ton, formerly of this area. The
famuy was visiting kinsmen near
by.
A crowd of people were seeking
relief fiom the heat yesterday af
ternoon when the tragedy occur
red. Merritt and a companion,
William Johnson had started out
in a boat to go around a tree on
the far side of the lake, about
150 yards away. About fifteen
yards from the tree, according to
onlookers, the boat overturned.
Johnson himself was nearly drown
ed. Merritt disappeared from
sight.
When the grappling hooks and
diving showed no signs of progress
Henry Hall, owner of the lake, gave
the go ahead sign for draining of
the lake in an effort to recover
the youth’s body.
The fourteen inch drain of the
lake had lowered the level about a
yard during the night and addi
tional pumping equipment to ex
pedite the process was called in
this morning. First on the scene
shortly after eight o’clock was the
former Army truck purchased by
Rose Hill some time ago. A near
by farmer’s International irriga
tion piece arrived next followed
within minutes by fire trucks from
Wallace and Magnolia. Others were
on the way at latest reports as well
as additional irrigation pieces.
The road was blocked by pipes
carrying the water across.
The diving equipment of a man
staying at Judge Henry Steven’s
cottage at the beach was also re
quested and being sought.
The lake where Merritt drowned
covered about 20 acres, according
;o a topigraphieal engineer. It was
built about seven years ago and
was used for fishing and bathing.
It was on the same site where the
present owner's father had a pond
many years ago and ground corn
into meal. It is located about two
miles east of the Sampson-Duplin
line west of Rose Hill.
| A few men from the Clinton unit
of the National Guard were also
on hand this morning to assist in
the rescue operation.
Signal Lights
Required Now On
Trucks & Buses
An amendment of the turn sig
naling law, effective July 1, pro
vides that any motor vehicle in
use on a North Carolina highway
shall he equipped with, and re
quired turn signals shall be given
by, a signal lamp or lamps or
mechanical signal device when the
distance from the center of the
lop of tne steering post to the
left outside limit of the body, cab
or load exceeds 24 inches, or
when the distance from the same
point on the steering post to the
rear limit of the body or load ex
ceeds 14 feet. The latter measure
ments applies to any single vehicle,
also to any combination of vehi
cles except combinations operated
by farmers in hauling farm pro
ducts.
That part of the amendment
which requires turn signaling eq
uipment to be used, applies to
the drivers of all vehicles owned
or operated by the State of North
Carolina, or any political subdivis
ion thereof, or any city, town or
district. Drivers of motor vehicles
while actually engaged in work on
the surface of a road are exempt
ed, but not when traveling to and
from such work.
Owners failing to install turn
signaling equipment, or drivers
failing to use it as required, are
punishable by a fine of not less
than $10 nor more than $50, or
imprisoned for not more than 30
days for each offense.
The main object of the amend
ment is to bring about State-wide
installation and use of turn signal
ing equipment on large motor ve
hicles on a mandatory basis. An
incidental purpose is to end the
confusion resulting from language
in the turn signaling law that is
so ambiguous as to have caused
some owners of large motor vehi
cles to install signaling equipment
on the assumption that it was com
pulsory, whereas other owners re
fused to do so without ever being
prosecuted.
For many years Section 20-154
has permitted turn signals to be
given by hand and arm or with
signaling equipment subject to a
proviso that signaling equipment

5,444 Non-Farm Commerical Workers
In Duplin; 4 Employing More Than 100
In mid-March 1953 about 5.444
non-farm commercial and indus
trial employees in Duplin County
received taxable wages under the
old-age and survivors insurance
program, N. A. Avera, manager of
the Wilmington Social Security dis
trict office, said today.
During the first quarter of 1953,
376 reporting units of employers of
commercial and industrial employ
ees covered by the program paid
sut some $26,690,000.00 in wages
taxable under social security in the
bounty. The largest proportion of
employment, 2726 employees, was
n standard major industry groups
vith 52 employed in public utility
positions. In March 1953 Duplin
bounty had four employing units
.vith 100 or more employees.
These and numerous other fig
ares on employment, payrolls and
employing units for the county,
state and the nation, appear in Co
unty Business Patterns, first quar
ter, just released. Issued under
joint sponsorship of the Bureau of
Dld-Age and Survivors Insurance
and the Bureau of the Census, the
newly published edition of County
Business Patterns in the seventh in
a series showing county and indus
try statistics based on wage re
ports filed under the Federal old
age and survivors insurance group.
County Business Patterns. Mr. Ave
ra pointed out, is a compilation of
statistics derived as a by-product
of-Bureau of Old-Age and Survivors
Insurance accounting operations un
der which records are maintained
of social security taxable earnings
received by every person covered
by the Federal insurance program.
Employment and payroll data for
more than 43 million employees and
3 2-3 million reporting units of em
ployers covered by the program
were tabulated to provide the fig
ures which appear in this edition.
Reference copies of CBP bulletins
may be examined at field offices
of the U. S. Department, of Com
merce, at district offices of the
Bureau of Old-Age and Survivors
Insurance, and at many public and
college libraries, Mr. Avera said.
