Dog ijfatmel Brings Litigation - This week a “show cause" order was Wed in Joifts County Superior Court as the result of a Pollocks ville man maintaining a dog ken del in a residential section. The litigation was instituted by David Raymond, Smith and; hi* wife, Ernestine, against John T. Phillips. The complaint alleges that each of the above is a next-door neigh bor-of Smith on Greenhill Street in the Sunset Park section of Pol locksville. They claim that over, a period of many year*, and in spite of re peated offers to help him build a kennel in another area Smith has persisted in keeping from six to eight dogs, which constitute a nu isance. The complaint says that the con stant barking and squealing of the dogs has. interrupted the sleep and. rest of the complaining parties and has in fact forced one of the par ties to undergo treatment for a serious nervous condition, which was allegedly brought on by the nuisance that Smith has refused to abate.

Family Affair Lut Friday morning a. collision at the intersection of Highways US 70 and US 258 involved vehicles driven by Early Horn and his granddaughter, Geannie Smith, both of 105 West New Bern Road. Miss Smith suffered a cut lip and damage was estimated at $700 to the two vehicles. No charges were made by investigating Patrolman Wesley Parrish. Jesse Arnold, pediatrician on tie staff of Lenoir Memorial Hospital, - this \tre?k reported that already this spring five children have been treated at that hospital for poisons they accidentally swallowed'. Arnold says the area served ,by this hospital has been averaging about three deaths a year for many years from the accidental poison ing of children. Farm homes suffer the majority of this kind of tragedy, the doctor said, but city dwellers also hive in secticides, herbicides and' other household chemicals that are deadly. Arnold says the most susceptible age grouping is from one to four; from the time the child begins to toddle about until its reasoning a b'ility is sufficiently developed to prevent its sticking everything it finds in its mputh. Arnold reminded that more child ren in this particular age group die from accidental poisoning than from, any other cause. He especially reminded of the danger of all poisons containing Chlordane, for which there is no known antidote. If a child gets a sufficient amount of this poison in its stomach—and not much is re quired-death from convulsions is inevitable. Arnold also urged that parents not only take every possible pre caution to keep poisons beyond the reach of children, but in places where they will not be mistaken for other chemicals by older persons.

Pack against Charles Wlesley Smith and the Tidewater Transit Company, both of Kinston. Young Pack on the night of March 20, 1961 was passenger in a car driven by another Marine that was involved in a collision with a trutk-trailer of the transit com pany driven by Smith. The accident took place just north of Eagle Swamp Bridge between Kinston and Griffon. Young Pack suffered a broken spine, which forced the removal of three sections of the spinal col umn. He is paralyzed from his shoulders down, and doctors testi fying in his behalf at the opening of the trial said it was their opin ion that he.would be paralyzed for the remainder of his life. The defendants claim that the car in which Pack was riding, was stopped on the highway, without proper lighting, and therefore they are not liable to pay damages that resulted from the wrongful act of the driver of the car in which Pack was riding. Court room observers say the $250,000 suit is the largest ever tried in Lenoir County Superior Court and they feel it will consume all of this week’s term of court. Borrowed Trouble Camp Lejeune Marine Andrew Pugh borrowed trouble Friday night when be used the car of an other Marine, Mack Jones, and while driving it dipped off a util ity* pole"on the comer of Shine and Tiffany streets. He was charged with reckless driving and driving without a driving license. Eagle Home Game* M and 17 — Winston-Salem . 2* — Rocky M<mnt June Z2 and 23 — Durham ml
