Children Killed in Monday Accident jiht i ggggff^. TRENTON, W. C, THURSDAY, AUGUST 2, 1982 VOLUME XIV Julian Mann, state director of the Federal Crop Insurance Corp oration, 1 said last week that the amount of coverage purchased by Jones County fanners from his or ganization haS more than doubled over 1961, but Mann said it will not be possible to know what payments for damage are to be made in Jones County until the 1962. crop has been housed and sold. .Last year just over $15,000 was paid out to 25 Jones Countians. This year there has been not only an increase in the number of Jones Countians who had the FCIC cov erage but nearly all have increased the amount of coverage per acre that they bought for their crops. The premium on tobacco coverage per acre is $16.79, Mann said and this rate is the same for all classes of growers. Based on past production records Jones County farms are broken in to three categories fpr tobacco in surance. > Jones County tobacco this year could be insured for maximums of $730, $580 or $490. per acre. Farm ers could buy coverage for part of these maximums or for the en coverage loses his entire tobacco crop he will receive that amount. If he houses and markets part of his corp, the receipts for the crop will be subtracted from his cover age and he will be paid the differ ence. In 1961 there were 240 contracts written in Jones County and this year just over 300. ~.%’t Mann said that his estimate early in July that FCIC damage from water in East Carolina would run between a half and two million dollars .sounded like a wild guess but he said that is all it was possi ble to make, because there was no way of knowing how much or how little of the crop would ultimately reach market, and of course, only a small percentage of all the farms in East Carolina was covered by FCIC. Mann said areas suffering re peated loss could be removed from FCIC coverage and some areas have been taken out already. Three Jones Arrests During Past Week Jones County Sheriff Brown Yates reports three arrests in the county during the past week; Aaron Wilson of Pollocksville was booked on charges of drunken driving, driving without a driving license and violating the liquor laws. Colette Farrow of New Bern route 3 was charged with speeding 80 miles per hour. Joe Bender of Pollocksville was accused, again, of being drunk in public. Authorities Unable Connect Jones ABC Loss to Herb Thieves Despite intensive investigation and long questioning Jones and Wayne county authorities have been un able to connect the 1961 burglary of the US 17 whisky store in Jones County to five men under indict ment for whisky theft in Nash County^ The five W(ayne Countians are charged with stealing over $2,000 worth of whisky from a Nashville ABC store, and they have also charged with theft of ABC whis ky in Carteret County. Last week it was hoped that some connecting link might be found between these men and the Jones theft, but so far all effort to find the link has failed. Eagles 100,000th Fan Reached Monday Night Principal Pippin Leaving Trenton For Job in Raleigh Fred W. Pippin, who has been principal of Trenton School for six years, has accepted a position in the Teacher Allotment Supervisor.

The Kinston Eagles will give Cunningham two tickets to a 1962 m. and a season pass to the 1963 sea son for all home games of the Eagles.

Attendance at practically a 11 Carolina League parks this year is better than in 1961, but there are no other teams in the league with an attendance anywhere near that the Eagles have so far enjoyed. ---— ■ i i-1— Ex-New Bern Mayor Named C&D Director Governor Sanford Tuesday ap pointed ' former New Bern Mayor Robert L.

The rear wheels were in the ditch on the east side of the road and the front wheels on the pavement. The dent in the front door of the car, at the beginning of the rear fender and on the back door came from contact with the three children. At 9:20 Monday night three children of the same family were killed in a freak accident just out side of LaGrange on the Parktown Road. The dead are Willard Lee Pear son, 13, Blondell Marie Pearson, and their half-sister Sandra Vaughn Koonce, 9, all children of Mrs. Thelma Warren of LaGrange route 2.

Bizzell told the officers that he was driving into LaGrange when about 300 feet north of where the children were struck he swerved his car to avoid hitting a dog. He | failed in this effort, killing the dog, Then Bizzell said lie saw a pick up truck at about the same place where the children were either standing still or about to cross the road to go to the truck. He lost control of his car, and it went into a flat skid, skidding more 200 feet sideways down the road, and during this sideways skid the car swept the three children. All three were instantly killed. The Patrol announced Wednes day the arrest of William Henry Wooten, 35, also of LaGrange, who has been charged with racing, reck less driving and manslaughter.
