School Board Tables Consolidation Action Two Jones Schools Fish Kill in Neuse Under Investigation Biolgoists and chemists of the State Wildlife Commission are try ing to determine the cause of the death of a great many fish im mediately below Kinston in Neuse River. Large numbers of all types of •fish have been dying in recent weeks and prior to the rains of the past weekend. The absence of rains which might have washed farm used chemicals into the river has led to cojnecture that some Kins ton or Kinston area industry or business might have dumped pois onous materials in the river while it was at a very low stage, thus making the poison more harmful than if the river had been at nor mal levels. Marine Family Killed j During last Thursday night’s ^ rainstorm at about 7 Camp Lejeune Corporal David Wood, his wife, Beverly, and their eight-month old child were killed when their carj crashed into the bridge across Southwest Creek on Highway US 258 six miles south of Kinston. The Cincinatti, Ohio famliy were trav elling northwardly as Cpl. Wood was returning his family to their Ohio home before his debarkation this month from San Francisco for duty in the Pacific. The adults were killed instantly but the in fant lived for about six hours in a Kinston hospital before dying from multiple internal injuries. Kinston Has 43 Auto Aeeidents in May Kinston Police Captain Fred Hart reported that there were 43 accidents investigated by the de partment during the month of May. These wrecks included 13 one car, 30 two-car and three car-bike wrecks. Also seven parked cars were struck and $765 damage was inflicted upon perfectly innocent utility poles. There were 37 indictments made as the result of investigations of these 43 wrecks and 33 persons suffered injuries. Total estimated property damage to all vehicles in volved was $15,105. Tobacco Program Jeopardized by Georgia Growers Action By Jack Rider There is trouble in Tobaccoland, U S.A. Last week when Federal District Judge Frank Scarlett issued an or der, restraining the Agricultural Stabilization Conservation Service from enforcing a 10 per cent acre age reduction of Type 14-flue-cur ed tobacco, his was the hand feat threw a big monkey wrench into the one fairly successful federal government farm program. When Judge Scarlett issued his; order officials of the ASCS said the order would be immediately appealed but on Tuesday of this week no further action Jhad been taken in the matter insofar as the courts were concerned. ilK Locally, all County ASCS offices have been instructed to hold up the measurement' of tobacco and destruction of overages. ■>, Among tobacconists of all shapes and descriptions there is wide dis agreement about the future; both immediate and long-range of the tobacco industry. Some suggest that if the Type 14 lowers in Georgia and Florida do \ to live under the program, be los* a —Bit i tobacco is sold. Others argue that Judge Scar let’s ruling eliniinates this possi bility. Some feel that if the protection of parity supports is withdrawn from Type 14 tobacco the tobacco buying companies will “steal” a Georgia-Florida crop. Other tobacco “experts” argue that the Type 14 tobacco produced in recent years is superior in qual ity to the tobaccos grown further north in South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, Kentucky and Tennessee. They say nothing would please the tobacco buying companies more than to have an unlimited expan sion in the Type 14 crop, which would be disastrous to the bulk of the crop in the northern end of the growing area. Others express the view that the tobacco program has benefited the buying companies more than it has any other segment of the industry — fair more than it has benefited the growers, and, hence, the buy ing companies would not be a par ty to any action that would be like ly to destroy the program that has stabilized the industry to a degree never known before. eing heard is W the whole program apart in the next referendum so that unlimited planting can be had for one year, .which uncontrolled planting would be used as a base for the new pro gram that is believed would then be instituted. The move in Georgia is just an other in a series of efforts to get more of the flue-cured tboacco crop for that area, which now pro duces about 10 per cent of the to tal crop. There have been several previous efforts in congress and in the Georgia legislature to harass the tobacco program but the cur rent effort is causing federal of ficials more concern than all the others combined. Every loophole in the existing to bacco program has been abused to its fullest extent in the Georgia - Florida effort to get a bigger slice of the flue-cured tobacco crop. In 1938 the supreme court of that day killed off the first farm con trol effort of the New Deal, the old AAA, but after one year with; out a tobacco program the growers of tobacco voted overwhelmingly for the present program and they have voted by near-unanimous ma jorities every three years since to keep the program. But as tobacco acreage becomes more and more valuable the pres sure of areas where tobacco can be grown for a bigger slice of this nicotinish bonanza has grown slowly but surely, to erupt now in this legal effort to destroy the en tire program. Since the first farm control leg islation was struck down in 1938 the officials charged with carry ing on the tobacco program have avoided any kind of court involve ment for fear that another court might destroy the present program for basically the same reasons that an earlier court tossed the AAA in to the governmental scrap heap. It is reasoned that the tobac co program has been by the con sent of the tobcaco farmers, and by better than 90 per cent majorities; but this reasoning overlooks the fact that the farmer who has no tobacco on his farm and who may want some has no voice in this decision. Tobacco in its long history has weathered many severe storms, such as the current medical quack ery and the Georgia determination to rule or ruin, but so long as it is a six billion dollar per year bus iness it will survive, in some fash ion ; although many who are involv-r ed in the industry may suffer greatly before order comes out of the current chaos. i 'T rfrir-'itrni Monday night after a meeting with more than a hundred patrons who were opposing the consolida tion of the Comfort Elementary School with the Trenton school the Jones County Board of Education tabled action until a later meeting. At present Comfort has eight teachers, one of whom is the prin cipal, and Trenton has 11 teach ers, one of whom is the principal. If the two schools were combined the enrollment would be large enough to justify a full-time prin cipal. School Superintendent George Harriett said the Jones County Board of Education did not ini tiate the consolidation move, but there has been discussion of general consolidation of the county’s ele mentary school of the state school bond issue is passed in November. Under this proposal Jones County would get $281,000 for school con struction. Maysville Firemen Have Successful Sale Meeting Monday evening at the community building were approxi mately 20 members of the Mays I ville Fire Department, with Ru I dolph Pelletier presiding. The men discussed the new set of by-laws which they are in the process of preparing for later adop tion. Pelletier complimented the group on the success of its barbe cue Saturday. , Beginning at 11 a.in., the sale lasted until 6 p.m. when they sold out. The sale was termed profitable one and required much planning and work. Proceeds from it will be used to secure necessary equipment for the department. After adjournment, C. W. Lan caster, Jimmy Wright and Colon Conway served ham, eggs, hot bis cuits and soft drinks. Fifteen from Lenoir Take Degrees at UNC Among the 2600 degrees recipients Monday in the 170th graduation exercise of the University of North Carolina were 15 Lenoir County students.

Wild, Rough Chase Kinston police and officers of the sheriffs department early Sunday charged Tommy Pigott of 208 East New Bern Road with drunken driving, driving while his license was revoked, failing to stop for a siren, hit-and-run driving, malcious damage to private property and possession of barbituate drugs after a brief chase that began on South Queen Street and ended up back of the CadilUc Motel.
