FIVE LENOIR COUNTAINS SURVIVE CRASH NORTH OF DOVER LAST THURSDAY MORNING Center Column of Bridge Worst Damaged This is the drainage canal bridge north of Dover where five Lenoir Countians were hurt last Thursday morning when their car coming from the same direction as the parked car in the picture, struck the bridge and flew all the way across the 35-foot opening. The worst damage to the bridge, paradoxically enough, was to the center column of the bridge and it was hit from the outside by the flying car. At 12:55 last Thursday morn ing a northbound heavy conver tible went out of control a mile and a half north of Dover, went 400 feet down the shoulder of the road, struck a concrete bridge, leaped 35 feet through the air and across the ditch and rolled another 100 feet before finally coming to a stop. The car was demolished, the bridge was heavily damaged but miraculously only o n e of the five in the car was seriously in jured; the driver, James Brake of Kinston, and he is reportedly recuperating satisfactorily at Chapel Hill after emergency op erations for a compound skull fracture. Joe Whaley of Kinston route 5, owner of the car, was the next most painfully hurt, suffering a broken nose. Peggy Hill and Shirley Powell of Kinston suf fered bruises and Billy Rayner, also of Kinston, was examined and released without hospitali zation just after the accident. :THE JONES COUNTY T O U RNAL NUMBER 39 TRENTON, N. C., THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 1965 VOLUME XVI Bobby Cox Ranks Second in Past Year Registration of Purebred Porkers in North Carolina's Expanding Industry Robert E. Cox ranks second in the State of North Carolina in the number of Poland China breeding stock registered dur ing the year of .1984; according to officials of the Poland China Record Association of Galesburg. According to the report issued by the national recording or ganization, the Cox firm regis tered a grand total of 132 head of Poland China boars and gilts during the past twelve months. The Poland China breed, on the national level, continued their tremendous growth dur ing the past year as they were the only swine breed to show an increase in recording for the twelve month period. This is the continuation of a growth that over the last de cade has seen the Poland China WMU Study Course . .Last Mo^da^ evening, a WMU Home Mission study course was conducted at the First Baptist church. With Rev. M. E. Gib son, pastor of the church, teach ing the course, the theme was “Winds of Change.” A film was also shown pertaining to mis sion work. An intermission was held at which time the 14 ladies present and Rev. Gibson enjoy ed cake and coffee. breed show a 24.3 percent in crease in recording, while the purebred swine industry as a whole has experienced a drop in total recordings of some 30.5 percent. Survey Indicates Less Smoking Done Last Year Here in Tobaccoland, USA Just how much effect the campaign against cigarette smoking had on residents of Le noir County in the past year is now a matter of record. Figures on cigarette sales in the local area show that the Surgeon General’s report on the health hazards of smoking, re leased one year ago, caused few people to “kick the habit.” Temporarily, there was a drop in cigarette consumption. Millions of people, alarmed at the linking of smoking with lung cancer and heart disease, sud denly gave up cigarettes or cut down on them drastically. It didn’t last long, however. Within a few months they were . puffing away at their usual rate and cigarette sales were back to normal. Figures compiled by the Treas ury Department and by the to bacco industry give the rate of consumption in each section of the country. In Lenoir County, an estimat ed 6,234,000 packs of cigarettes were smoked last year, accord ing to a breakdown of these fig ures. Related to the local popula tion over age 18, this was equiv ■■' :'S<-,, „ alent to 165 packs a year per person. It compares with 169 packs the year before. In other parts of the United States, the average was 207 packs per person for those over 18. The average was 187 packs in the South Atlantic States. A new report by Surgeon Gen eral Luther L. Terry, issued last month, claims success for the anti-smoking campaign. It states that 7 percent of the nation’s adult males and 3 percent of the females have given up cig arettes since 1962. Dr. Terry admits that it is difficult for people who have smoked for many years to dis continue overnight. It might take ten years or so to change America’s smoking habits, he de clared. Meanwhile, he said, we will have to focus on the youngsters and keep them away from cig arettes. Suph a drive is now tak ing form. As to the cost of smoking, the 70 million smokers in the Unit ad States paid some $6.5 billion tor cigarettes in 1964. Residents of Lenoir County spent $1,344,000, or approxi mately $35 per smoker.
