' It is pretty generally known to the public, however, that this group is wasting, its time and money, since the Utilities Com. mission has no power over the electricity policies of the City of Kinston, and it has no alterna tive but to approve the transfer. A form letter sent out to those utilities customers caused them to feel tost they might base some legal recourse, but that is far from true.

For over 32 years Hines Ice7 Cream has been a favorite food In Eastern North Carolina and for most of those years the man in charge of preparing this deli cacy has been^ Wilbur Benjamin Elder, pictured here with a batch that was just before going through the freezer on Wednes day UEdmlng of this week. Rider Is a native of Pamlico County, son of the Late James and Mary Elizabeth Potter Ri der; t)ae latter still getting around pretty well at the age ; ,h RAdei was the fifth child in a family of nine, three sons and gig daughters. He was bom October 24, 1€95 and greiw up In Pamlico Comity, near Cash Cor ner and within sight of Vande mere Creek, where he learned to swim and to catch speckled perch. An agreeable recruiting ser geant in I9M (July) permitted a small white lie to go into Army Records and aged Rider by two years so that he could enlist In (the Army. $ider ays now Ik . ^.; would' accept Army age: Rider served for five years in the army, the last two as a first sergeant in the 21st Machine Chin BabtaUion of the 7th In fantry Division. He was over seas for 18 months during World Wtar I and had the somewhat dubious honor of taking part in the famed battles of Sit. Ml hiel and the Meuse-Angonne.

Spence of Klnston,''fto*te six parked his car in front of the Kinston Police Station walked In and said, “Lock me op. I’m too drank to be driving.

Power Transfer Note Carolina Power & light Com. pany Counsel Charles Rouse told Kinston officials Wednesday h difficulty in obtain, ing permission from the Utili ties Commission to transfer his company’s holdings inside the city to the city electric system on May First. Much of the pro testing petition filed by Jones, Reed and Griffin, attorneys for those protesting the change, is “scenery”, Rouse said, and tije only issue likely to be considered by the commission is the city’s ability to serve the customers.
