COUNTY rm NUMBER 49 TRENTON, k C., THURSDAY, APRIL 26, 1962 !■■»<... .. i^.iiimfrii ■ > uni mi i a i!'* —■* " ( VOLUME XIII Registration Books Open Saturday; Political Battle Moves into High The battle lines arc .drawn, en listment of new soldiers opens On Saturday and the political maneuv ers get into really, high gear this week in Jones, and 99 other North 'Carolina counties. Jones prunfy has two really ex citing 'races, and it’s Hard to tell which Will turn out the biggest flock of voters. «• The five-way race for clerk of superior court and the 11-way race for the five jobs on the board of county commissioners — they are the top tangles. Perhaps, because there is only one job open in the clerk race this will draw, the most interest in the first rounds. At least in the com missioner race five of the 11 will be winners, while in the clerk race four of the five are bound to be disappointed. All those who guess about Jones County politics seem to be agreed that a second primary is almost inevitable in the clerk race, but very few of these guessers will g6 out on a lifnb and say which of the five clerk candidates is likely to be in the 2nd primary. The five candidates, in the order in which they filed are William Henry Hammond Jr., George Nick Noble, .Carl Flowers Jr.., Macy Mallard and Walter P. Henderson. , A lot of small bets will be plac ed before voting time May 26th Miss Mallard, being the only woman in the race, a hard worker and 4 member of one- of the comi ty’s largest and most prominent families is given a better than fair chance of being one of the two top candidates when the votes are all counted. Many people' say that on the basis of training and experience Hanimond is the best technically qualified of the five candidates, bitt they say Hammond will not make the kind of all-out campaign that Is an absolute necessity in a hard fight such as this. Noble is also admittedly well qualified for the post, btit Noble has been involved in just about' ev-, ery political fracas that has hap pened in Jones County in the past 20 years and these battle scars are expected to cost him a majority of ^the ..votes ir. the most populous eastern end of the county. Mowers, as all of the five can didates, is qualified on the basis of his education and experience, but his political alinements are not felt to be nea'rly so good as the other four, but since be is young, energetic and a freshman nobody is willing to write bis chances completely off. Henderson is by far the most colorful of the five candidates, and this is considered to be both an asset and a liability. Some will vote for him simply because he is a colorful, hardworking campaigner, those ofntore cehserVatfvfc leanings. One factor that supports the hopes of Miss Mallard and Flow Tetanus Clinics for Lenoir, Jones', Greene On April 28 from 9 until 2 the Lenoir, Greene, Jones County Med ical Society in cooperation with volunteer nurses, Medical Auxiliary and Public Health Department will conduct Tetanus Clinics.

C. Penney. The complaint alleges that Mrs. Grady was directed to a dressing room to try on a dress, and that she opened a door to a staircase, rather than to the dressing room and fell down the stairs, suffering serious and permament injuries. Money-Makers Nabbed Over Easter Weekend Maysville 6th Grade Enjoys Outing Thru Croatan Forest Area The students of the Maysville sixth-grade an<J their teacher, Mrs. Anntete Richardson, accompanied by mothers of some of the children, Game Protector Sam Moore and Mrs. Moore and Mr. Parker en joyed a trip Thursday. The group departed in auto mobiles diven by mothers and sev eral rode on the back of the pick up truck driven by Moore. They rode through the Catfish lake road to’ Croatan where they stopped to buy drinks and went to Flanners Beach where they enjoy ed a picnic, lunch. \ Going back to Croatan, several fo the children climbed the fire tower which is the highest in these parts, and a few of the girls visited the Croatan school. Th^y returned just in time for school dismissal. The other grades enjoyed Easter egg hunts and hikes. Senator Ervin Sees Long Session for Congress Congress which opened a little more than three and a half months ago with hopes of early adjourn ment appears headed for another long session. Under the Reorgan ization Act of 1946 Congressional ajournment is technically set for no later than July 31. Rarely has it been able to do so. This year the Senate Finance Committee and the House Ways and Means Committee are swamp ed with bills embracing tax revis ion, trad? expansion, health care T j M- t-_‘ 1 '.f ~ gn tot mer ageuy 2rntr a ntmioCr xjt other revenue bills. None of these can be “marked up” for consideration in ’either House without hearings requiring scores of witnesses. Currently the Senate Finance Committee is beginning hearings on the revision bill (HR 10650) while the House Ways and Means Com mittee is starting its consideration of the trade expansion act (HR 9900). Since all these tax and revenue measures must first be considered by the House of Representatives by Constitutional mandate, the Senate Finance Committee already faces a ers is that Hammond, Noble and Henderson are all three from Tren ton, while Miss Mallard is a Pol locksville Township produc.t and Flowers is now a resident of Beav er Creek, although he was raised in Pollocksville Township. veritable legislative logjam. More over, the Sugar Act and Corporate and Excise taxes expire on June 30. Any legislation on these must be considered by these Senate and House committees. A House passed revision of the public welfare program also awaits consideration by the Senate Fi nance Committee. Both committees have an unemployment compensa tion bill that lies' within their jur isdiction for hearings. Health care for the aged earings have not begun *m”"'eitiit:Vrtne Rouse* or Senate committee. Perhaps this may explain why even the admired Shah of Iran found it difficult to command a quorum in is address to a Joint Session of Congress on April 12. That day found Congressional com mittees and subcommittees holding •28 separate meetings and hearings. Hearings concerning so-called “pocket book” issues are continual ly packed with witnesses and spec tators. There appears to be no pub lic or Congressional apathy on rev enue measures. It all adds up to the conclusion that at this stage Congressional committees are very busy, and that there is little likeli hood that Congress will wind-up its affairs soon. Law Classification The Senate Subcommittee on Re vision and Codificati on of the Laws, of which I am Chairman, has Richard Whaley Used Lot of His Luck Wednesday in This Car Wnship tW! Wihaley, ep >r of the Lake: fered painful bruises but not a single broken bone in this badly aley was driving rtke car, belonged to D. F, Abernathy, on Independent Street and to stop for the stop sign.. lie drove directly into the path of a large truck-trailer driven by Charlie Lee Dodson of Danville, Va., who was headed east on Ver non Aye. ' „ The car was knocked to the southeast comer j and pinned S’ against a utilities pole. -The worst of the damage to the car was on the right side, as shown, in the picture at left above,- but it was also badly wrinkled on the driver’s- side,' as the picture at tight indicates.. Arrests of four men in Onslow and Lenoir Counties and a fifth in Richmond, Virginia over the faster Weekend resulted in num-. erous charges against the quintet for making their own money. Durwood Sparrow of 311 Caswell Street in Kinston, Earl Baysden, Norwood Whaley and Clennie Humphrey of Kichlands and Ed ward Thorpe of Richmond are the accused quintet. Baysden is accused of passing $100,000 in phoney $20 bills to a Secret, Service agent late Saturday night or early Sunday morning. Sparrow is accused of being the plate maker and printer of the funny money. lhe other three are co-conspira tors according to the indictments which were put before a federal grand jury in Raleigh on Monday. Baysden and 'Sparrow were al ready under indictment for mon ey-making back in 1958. Baysden was convicted in district federal court for his 1958 episode, but the federal court of appeals in Rich mond decided that the search war rant used in the 1958 discovery of more than $700,000 in bogus $20 bills in Baysden’s furniture in Jack sonville was improperly drawn. Bayden’s attorney’s had recent ly been pressing for a retrial of the 1958 charge, but they are expected to be a trifle slower in the matter of the latest indictment of their client, which didn’t involve the use of a search warrant. Sparrow was indicted shortly af ter Baysden in the 1958 escapade but he has never been brought to trial. Sparrow has served two pre vious hitches in the federal prison for making his. own money. For the other three this was their first indictment for money mak ing. Shrine Dance Friday Friday night the Kinston Shrine Club is holding its annual dance for benefit of the Grainger High School Band. A floor show, two bands, a twist contest and plenty of dancing are planned for the ev ening at “Wonderland," just west of Kinston on the Goldsboro High way. Tickets for the event may be obtained from any member of the Shrine Club or at the door. The “Crickets” and the “Ivey Leaguers" will provide the rhythms for the shindig. Pedestrian Hurt Thomas Watson of 513 East Gor don street suffered serious head injuries and other bruises when he was struck Sunday afternoon at the corner of Queen and Blount streets by a car driven by John Edward Hussey of 809 Tyree Road.

The enactment of such a classific ation of the laws into a code is a major project. \ Ini as much as many of the gen eral laws of the United S t at e s which go into the United States Code are inconsistent or out-of date, there has been initiated a continouos project of revising and enacting the Code, consisting of SO" titles, and thousands of sections, into law, title by title. A codification is .limited to the revision of the existing liw only. It does not embrace any change in the statutes under discussion as they now exist. The enactments al
