Brewington is currently under a two year Jail sentence that was suspended tor a five year pro bationary period on the condi tion that he violate no law, and in particular not violate liquor laws since that was his viola tion when he was originally sentenced. "Bob White Through the Years” is to be shown and i( IS rated as a top nature Kim. This meeting will be held at 7;45 Tuesday night. The Board of Trustees of the Kinston Graded School District this week voted to name the planned elementary school 5n Northeast Kinston of all pres Lenoir’s Fifth Liquor Store Delayed Temporarily by Zoning Ordinance application was rued Tues day of this week for construc tion of a large warehouse-sales room for the Lenoir County Alcohol Board of Control which Is scehduled to be built by the L. Harvey & Bob' Company and leased to the county just west of the new home of Harvey Mo tor Company at the intersec tion of East Highland Avenue and the Greenville Highway. Due to the fact that the propos ed site of the new warehouse and store is an area presently zoned for residential construc tion the building will be delay ed until the area can be re zoned. For some time this proposed fifth liquor store in the coun ty has been under study by county officials, who have long been rather touchy on the sub ject of sharing profits of the county-managed stores with the three municipalities/ in which they are located. Kinston, LaGrange and Pink Hill receive one fourth of the net profits from fftiose stores inside the city limits and this plan’ to build a store beyond the present Kinston City Lim its is recognized as part of the continuing feeing on the part of county officials who have felt that the towns “done ’em wrong” when they secured pas sage of legislation which split the rather lucrative profits from Jthe legal sale of whiskey in the county. it teachers in the School. The delay in obtaining the jsEagggBp, _ .^ w , Some 50-odd Kinstoniaons have registered their opposition to the proposed sidewalk building program which was authorized by the Town Council in its reg ular November session. Most of the opponents are “again” side watts” because it would mess up their lawns, forgetting that their shrubs to a large extent are on city property. Smith Fails to Pay Jones PMA Fine Newitt “Back” Smith, Hugo farmer and merchant, who this year farmed under lease the Foscue Faun just north of Pollocksville on US 17 Tuesday failed to come in and pay the $1188 fine assessed against him for having 5.4 acre hidden fleldi of tobacco on this Jones County farm. Smith was earlier supposed to have paid the fine by 2 p. m. November 9th and after he failed to appear then another week’s extension was granted to November 17th at 2 p. m. Now the case will be turned over to the State PMA office and after review there it will be sent to the regional PMA office in Atlanta where it will go directly to the Solicitor General for legal action. In addition to the $1188 penalty against Smith the tobacco ac reage on the farm (16.3 acres in 1953) wUl be cut by 5.4 acres in 1954. This penalty will be in affect whether Smith releases the farm or not. Meanwhile Jones County PMA officials’ only comment on another pending matter against Herbert Jones who was found with an .8 acre hidden field and some 30 acres of overplantings on his Jones County farms is also in the hands of the regional PMA office in Atlanta, since investi gators from the Treasury Department have finished their local investigation of the Jones Case and the matter has been passed to higher levels for any further action that the in vestigation’s findings may merit. Corn Acreage Allocation For 25 Eastern Carolina Counties In 1954 Crop Jones and Lenoir Counties are among the 25 Eastern North Carolina counties that have been declared “Commercial Corn Producing areas” and will have com acreage quotas for the 1954 crop year. A Survey is currently being dBtewaiiia.the.corn planting On each farm during the past three years (1951-52-53) and from the findngs in this building permit for the store is regarded as a mere technicality since the Harvey Family owns all of the surrounding real es tate and it is not likely that any opposition will develop to having the area rezoned as commercial so that a permit may be issued. survey will come the basis for the 1954 crop allocations. PMA officials admit without doubt that the corn acreage al locations will be difficult to ad minister for a number of reason. Firstly, ther are' more acres of corn planted in Eastern-Car olina than in any other crop and secondly com can be sold In so many hundred different ways and places. No measuring} of )1953 crop areas is planned in this survey and the survey will depend al most entirely on the sworn statements of landowners as to their plantings of corn dur/ng Continued from Page I nned Fairfield Community Center meeting voted ,U> go with plans for the building sifter the Kinston Board of Aldermen had it may be built to three sections and it is hoped that stth the funds now in hand that the cen tral part of the picture as drawn here can be obtained. The wind on the Header's right to the sec. ond most desired since it con tains small meeting rooms and kitchen tadUtie^! The central section will include a high schooi-aise basketball court which can also double as a meeting hall sufficiently large to seat 1200 people or to may be used lor a banquet hall with adequate room to seat 600 persons. This center section will also include dressing rooms, offices and toilet facilities.
