No re cent Indictments for prostitu tions have keen made in this area. Bat apparently the mili tary authorities must have some reason far niacins uii« com munity “Off Limits To All Mili tary Personnel” At any rate it Is a disgusting sight for visitors, or even na tires to »®e such degrading signs tatted up at the en trance to what moot of ns like to refer to as a decent place and' a fine place to settle and rear a family. The stigma that these signs attaches goes far beyond the tiny gathering of riverside dwellings that is known as “Spamowsville.” It reflects on the morality of the entire tom '■ftf 'Ape Labor Immediately ^Jones County PMA Secretary Nelson Barker this week urged those Jones Countlans who feel that they will need extra farm labor at tobacco-housing time this summer to place orders now rather than waiting until the last minute. The deadline for placing orders for this labor is ICay 1st.* Every farmers In the county has been given ample time to study the plan and to make ar rangements In his neighborhood for housing and using this labor to the maximum possible advan tage of everybody concerned and there is no need to delay placing these orders. Barker reminded. Week In Review Hie Kinston Board of Aider men in a called session Monday morning voted to issue $400,000 In bond anticipation notes to take care of current expendi tures in the program authoriz ed by voters last October.

Hargrove was all but decapitated by the blow and died instantly. No farther investigation of the accident was deemed neces sary by Coroner Raymond Jarmon after a study of the evidence was made. Bids for paving 232 miles of road in the state were asked for Tuesday in Raleigh and includ ed among this was 19.65 miles between Pleasant Hill and Phil lip’s Crossroads and other short er sections connection into this on a new site, approved the bond issue as direct • ed by the Supreme Court, released the $15A00 bond plac ed by the three plainttfs and awarded the plaintiffs $4,500 attorney’s fees. The county still has the right to appeal from Nimock’s judgment but since it would have to appeal the entire judgment and per haps delay work on the hos pital until late this fall, it is considered most unlikely that the county would cause this further delay because a Serve on Korean Airlift Airman Second Class Thomas W.
