Still to be heard from in addition Other Job* Open The judicial district which includes Jones County along with , Duplin, Sampson and Onslow Counties is nominating a new superior court judge, since Incumbent Henry Stev ens of Warsaw is retiring. So far the only announced candidate is H. E. Phillips of'Kenansville, who is at persent judge of the County Court in Duplin. , The solicitorial district which in cludes Jones, Carteret, Craven, Pamlico, Pitt and Greene Counties is to nominate a new solicitor since Incumbent Robert Rouse Jr. of Farmville has decided not to seek re-nominationr So far the only an nounced candidate for this job is Cecil May of New Bern, solicitor of the County Court in Craven. Jones Countians, of course, have the right to seek either of these jobs, but only a lawyer may run for the solicitorial job, and there is little likelihood of any but a law yer being nominated to the judge ship, although a candidate does not have-to be a lawyer in order to seek the office. Jones Countians also have a right to seek one of the two 7th state senatorial district seats which, are presently held by Tom White of Kinston and .Luther Hamilton of Carteret County. White is seeking re-nomination, but Hamilton has not yet beep heard from, officially. The. job of 3rd district congress man now held bjr David Henderson of Wallace is also up for grabs in May and any Jones Countian who can scrap up the $225 filing fee cab take a crack at this job.

Jones Teen-Agers Appeal Sentences For Racing Charges Two Jones County teenagers have filed notice of appeal to Superior Court from sentences iijjposed upon them Monday by Kinston Recorder Emmett Wooten, for racing. Walter Ives, 16, of Trenton route 2 and Johnny Grover Mallard, 17, of Pollocksville ropfe 1 were order ed not to drive for six months and to attend and successfully complete a driver training course conducted by the highway patrol. They were each also fined $50. Their cases will be set for trial at the March term of Lenoir Coun ty Superior Court and their bonds were set at $100 each. LOST AND FOUND A 1955 Pontiac stolen Wednesday night from George Marks of 105 West South Street was found the next morning in Jacksonville. - The first increase in the flue cured tobacco crop in 11 years has been authorized for the 1962 crop year by the^secretary of agricul ture. i The increase, though seem ingly small, 4.3, percent above the 1961 allocation, is* estimated to be worth $25,000,000 in North Caro lina alone. A .decision earlier this year that the government would aid in the disposal of discounted varieties of tobacco held -by the Flue-Cured Tobacco Stablization Corporation, led to the decision to approve the acreage increase for the 1962 crop. In Lenoir County the 4.3 per cent acreage increase means the ad dition of 598 acres over the 13,907 acre allotment of ’61. This is the equivalent to the local economy of bringing a new industry to the coun ty that would employ 119 people at an annual salary of $5,000. The recent history of flue-cured tobacco has been o'n of acreage cuts rather than increases. The drop in tobacco consumption that resulted from the accelerated use of filter tipped cigarettes temporarily threw the supply and demand factors out of kilter in the tobacco industry. At the sarup time that the lung cancer scare frightened people into smoking filter-tipped cigarettes the tobacco companies came up with a new technique called “homogen ized” tobacco that made it possible for them to get more cigarettes out Four Kinstonians Held For 1960 Bank Robbery Boy Scout Meeting Includes Holding Board of Review Troop 209 held its regular scout meeting Thursday night at the present. The main item on the agenda was a ’board of review, consisting of Harry Bryant, Albert Bracey and J, R. Holden. David Bryant, Albert Bracey Barry Britt, Barry .Hend erson and Douglas Henderson, were questioned by the board on all phases of second class scouting, and after answering all questions satisfactorily, were advanced to rank of Second Class scouts. Scoutmaster Brock stated he would like to keep this review board active for the next few weeks to determine how many boys might gain their second class rank before camporee. Plans are Being made for this camporee which is to be held in April. Two guests, Sgt. Duke Cagle, scoutmaster of Belgrade and Wil liam E. Mattocks, also of Belgrade were present. Mattocks has show a great deal of interest in the scouts and they wish to express their appreciation for this interest. Scoutmaster Cagle taught the group a few interesting games that can be played indoors. Following a period of recreation, the troop formed a half circle and were dismissed with the Scout ben ediction. Immediately afterwards, a few of the Scouts began work on their first class requirements. OUTSTANDING BOVINE The Holstein-Friesian Associa tion of America has announced the completion of an outstanding of ficial production record by a reg istered Holstein cow, Shangri La Ifevereign Imogepe 4095198, a six year-old owned by O. D. Dunn, New Bern,, produced 16,630 lbs. milk and 701 lbs. butterfat in 304 days. In contrast, the annual pro duction of the average dairy cow is generally estimated at about 7, 000 lbs. of milk containing 265 lbs. HHaH— . HiI IIIIIKMaMBK | u| Four Kinstonians were indicted by a federal grand jury in Raleigh this we^Jc on charge of breaking into a small safe in the Calypso branch of the Bank of Mount Olive in April of 1960. Two of the four are arleady in prison on other rob bery charges. The safe contained $$56.64. ‘ ~ ' Lyman Grant and Thomas Lewis Blanton were arrested Monday and each fyis been bound over to the April term of Federal Court under $5,000 bond. The other two are Carson Hardi son, now serving a prison sentence for robbing a super-market in Maryland and Kenneth Earl Grant, brother of Lyman, who is in the North Carolina prison, serving time for numerous robberies and for complicity in the shooting of a Pitt County constable in 1960. Grant was released Tuesday on bond signed by J. D. Conner of Kinston. Grant, a former Kinston grocer is under indictment for receiving stolen property in Duplin County and has beat the same rap sev eral times in Lenoir County courts. of each pound of tobacco! This simply consisted of grinding up to bacco, mixing it with a neutral 'flavored adhesive rnd rolling it out in sheets which were then shredded as the leaf had formerly (been shredded for the manufacture of cigarettes. Local farm leaders are happy with the changing trend in the tobacco business for they feel that this additional 4.3 per cent will mtore or less be “profit addition” ■since the fixed operating costs of a farm, such as land and equipment investment, taxes, labor and insur ance will not be materially increas ed by the production of 4.3 per cent more tobacco on, each farm. The farmer who in 1961 had 10 acres will this year only have 10:43 acres, which seems relatively in significant to many, but in the ag gregate it does mean a great deal to the East Carolina economy. Once more farm leaders and to bacco industry spokesmen are urg ing farmers to diversity their types of tobacco and to stress quality ov er quantity, but the recent'buying habits of the tobacco companies make little sense in this sphere, when they pay a disproportionate price for low quality tobacco over excellent quality tobacco. Discount Warning Agriculture Department officials also remind tobacco growers that there is a new discounted variety of. tobacco in some plant beds this winter and they urge every farmer to save himself from considerable possible trouble by planting a cert ified type of tobacco from a rep utable dealer. This warning is too late in one sense for the man who has already seeded his plant bed with some un known variety that has potentials of producing far more pounds per acre, but it is not too late for that farmer who has the unknown va riety* fi> make"arrangements to ob tain an approved type of plant when transplanting time comes. METHODIST PROGRAM A study course entitled “Under Orders” will be given M.onday March 5 at the Trenton Metho dist Church, under the direction of Mrs. Claude Banks, Secretary of Missionary Education. It will begin at 5 with a break for sand wiches at 6. Several members wlil take part in the study. ARRESTED IN JONES Rivers Baker of 213 North Tria non Street in Kinston was arrested by the highway patrol in Jones ■County last week and charged with drunken driving. Judge Urges Compulsory Blood Test for Persons In Drunk Driving Cases Recorder’s Court Judge Emmett Wooten, speaking Wednesday to the monthly meeting of the Lenoir County Safety Council, urged pas sage in the next session of the general assembly of a compulsory blood test for persons indicted on drunken driving charges. Judge Wooten said 40 of the SO states already have laws of this kind, which actually do not force a person to have a blood test, but permit a 12-month revocation of his license if he refuses to take the blood test. Wiooten, outlining the duties and complications of his court, remind ed the safety council that the local court is actually three Courts: A common laws court, a domestic re lations' court and primarily a traf fic court. He said' about 75- per cent of the workload of the court- is traffic; cases. HHF1'' ■ Last year the court handled some over 6500 cases — a large percent age of which were submissions for which there was no actual hearing. Wooten says one of the compli cation of all traffic courts is the carryover from the common law which presumes all persons to be innocent until their guilt is proven beyond a reasonable doubt, and the necessity of the court to keep in mind that traffic' violators are not criminals in the ordinary concept of the word. Physical evidence unsupported by eye-witness testimony is not ad missible in traffic cases under rul ings of the North Carolina Sup reme Court, Wooten reminded. This frustrates the officer.who is called to investigate an accident in which there was obviously a flag rant violation but to which there were no cooperative witnesses.
