Boating Accidents Claim 22 in State
During First Quarter; Up from '64
/u me present wriung, me
number of boating accidents re
ported totals 22. Fatalities also
number 22.
The number of fatalities for
1965’s first quarter is four
above the total number for the
first quarter of 1964. Included
in the 1965 total, however, are
three deaths associated with the
loss of a government vessel and
one aboard a tug. All of the ac
cidents occurring during the
first quarter of 1964 involved
pleasure craft or small commer
ical fishing craft. It would be
misleading to combine small
craft accidents with heavy gov
ernment or commercial vessel
accidents without making sfdis
tinction. Of course, the loss of
a life is tragic regardless of the
activity at the time, and too
there is often something to be
learned from the facts surround
ing any accident.
Three boating accidents oc
cured in January, four in'Feb
ruary, seven in March, and eight
in April. Here we can see the
monthly increase as the boating
season draws near. Last year
there were no accidents report
ed in January and February but
reports in March and April
brought the total up to 18 fatal
ities and 20 accidents for 1964’s
first quarter.
Too often the actual or direct
cause of a boating accident is.
not known. This is especially
true when there are no survi
vors. Investigators may find
that the boat capsized, but why
it did so is the real important
question. This is the question in
several of the accidents men
tioned here, since capsizing is
again a leading type of accident.
Here are the various types of
accidents revealed by the ac
cident reports for the spring
quarter of 1965; capsizing, seven
-1
(caused by various reasons such
as use of unstable, home-made
boat, standing in a small boat,
rough water, etc.); fire or ex
plosion, five (cause of this type
is often hard to determine, but
it is important to follow at all
times the prescribed rules and
standards concerning the fire
prevention aboard a craft;) col
lision with another boat, one;
overloading and subsequent sink
ing or capsizing, three; falling
overboard, three; hitting under
water objects, two; sinking due
to rough water hull damage,
one; asphyxiation due to sleep
ing in closed cabin with stove
on, one.
The boats involved varied con
siderably in size, but the old
eleven footer was the boat in
volved in at least four deaths.

CREAGH
Well, oUr election for Jones
Central officers and Student
Council officers was held on
Monday, May 17. The Student
Council and Junior Class re
sults are complete. They are as
follows;
STUDENT COUNCIL: Presi
dent Ellis Banks, 1st Vice Presi
dent Betty Becton, 2nd Vice
President Bobby Meadows, Sec
retary Dianne Jarman, Treas
urer Linda Haddocks, Public Re
lations. Officer Anne Tdallard.
Junior Class — President Gary

The results from the other

outcome of several “run-offs.”
However, we would like to con
gratulate those who have al
ready been elected and to wish
them success as they fulfill their
duties next year.
Last Friday night, May 7,'Jones
Central held its annual athletic
banquet. The address of the ev
ening was by George Thompson,
coach at Grainger High School
in Kinston. Awards were pres
ented by Principal Jeter Taylor.
We are very proud of our JC
athletes and of our athletic de
partment, and we congratulate
them on a fine year.
The coaching staff of Jones
Central is as follows: Varsity —
Thomas M. Pritchard and Jean
E. Worthington; Junior Varsity
— Jerry Elmore and David D.
Porter.
Last Friday afternoon, we held
what we believe to be a rather
unique event at Jones Central,
The operators of all boats/ with
the exception of two, were well
out of the teenage category with
the majority being over 25 years
of age.
There is still a lot of boating
ahead, and if all boaters would
seriously review the tragedies
mentioned above and consider
with some very sober thinking
those of the seasons past, the
second, the third and fourth
quarters of 1965 may not be so
costly.
especially for this area. The JC
coaching staff along with Mrs.
Ann Chapman held a girls’ track
meet. Freshmen girls from Pam
lico High School and South Le
noir High School as well as
Jones Central participated. Jones:
Central captured first place
41 points; South Lenoir, took
second place with 23 points. The
JC team was especially proud of
Betty Wilson who placed first
in five events. Congratulations
to all the JC girls for a fine per
formance.
