During the five year* since 1959, the total supply of frue-cured tobacco has increased by 452 million pounds— equal to about one-third of the 1964 production. The average yield per acre of flue-cured tobacco for 1964 is 2,180 pounds—a whopping 621 pounds more per acre than in 1959. Increased yields have helped build up a surplus. SPEEDING CRACKDOWN After several days of warning Kinston police are cracking down with enforcement of the spead limits on Queen Street. Tuesday 14 persons were issued citations for hitting considerably more than the legal 25 mile limit be tween Spring Hill and Grainger Queen. m tiimm Jt WHEN YOU NEED AMBULANCE SERVICE V , CALL Garner’s Funeral Home D^AL JA 3-2124 or JA 3-2125 Ambulance Equipped With Oxygen For Emergency U»e SSUP mm “COURTEOUS ATTENDANTS” SENATOR JORDAN REPORTS Fran WASHINGTON Senator John McClellan, who has a long and distinguished record of fighting crime and rackets, has introduced a series of bills which I hope will bring about a new awareness of the serious* problems the United States faces in connection with the alarming increase in our crime rate. There is a great deal of evi dence that the American peo ple are as concerned over this problem as any which faces our Nation today, and the situation has reached the point where we must make every effort to curb the widespread disregard for the law that now exists. In offering his bills, Senator McClellan cited some interest ing . . . and at the same time shocking . . . facts and figures. For example, since 1958, crime in our Nation has increased six times as fast as our population, and since 1940 it has doubled. He pointed out that over 7,000 major crimes are committed in the United States ever day, and that crime costs the Amer ican people $27 billion a year. This is over half of what it costs to maintain our entire defense and military svstem When any problem reaches such proportions, it demands efforts to correct it by all levels of government. It is my feeling that regard less of how vigorously govern ment . . . and by government 1 mean local, state, and Federal government, as well as the courts . . . fights crime, these efforts must be accompanied b> positive actions by individuals themselves. They must start with parents, with churches, and with other community organiza tions. A recent Gallup Poll showed that the American public feels that the government should give a large amount of its attention to reducing crime during the next few years. In fact, the poll showed that the government should give more attention tc crime than any domestic prob lem other than education. To me this is interesting, be cause it reflects a widespread feeling that when problems gel out of hand, the first reaction is that government should dc something about it. In the cast of crime, any government ef fort must be accompanied by in dividual and non-governmental group effort. Laws are enacted by governments, but they are obeyed and respected by indi viduals. I am hopeful that the bills Senator McClellan introduced will provoke a nationwide de bate on the whole subject of .— crime, and in doing so bring in to focus once again the impor tance of respect for the law. There has been a tendency in recent years for many peo ple to feel that society owes something to those who turn to crime. Somehow, this seems backward, to me, and we must find a way to make everyone realize that those who would turn to crime, in fact, owe some thing to society.
