Continued Care Urged in Control of Sleeping Sickness in Eastern Carolina Public health officials say this week that the outbreak of en cephalitis that has swept across a large part of Eastern Carolina is showing signs of weakening, but they urge continued effort on the part of all citizens So far only One human case of “sleeping sickness” has been reported and this patient is re portedly recuperating satisfac torily in the university hospital at Chapel Hill, but horses, mules and ponies have been hard hit. This disease which is called “blind staggers” by many when it is in animals is thought to be transferred to humans from an imals by one breed of mosquito.

I New Bern Attorney and Undertaker Ordered Pay Back $1340 to Estate In Jones County Superior Court A New Bern lawyer and a New Bern undertaker have been ordered to return $650 and $690 respectively to the estate of the late James Emmanuel White of Jones County. White’s mother, Mrs. Catherine White Turnage has laso been ordered to return $595 to the estate. The order was issued this week by Jones County Superior Court Clerk Walter P. Hender son. The lawyer involved is Reg inald L. Frazier and the under taker is B. S. Rivers. | The order issued by Hender son states that “prior to March 15, 1965 the court ascertained that it had never approved nor had any paper accounting been made in connection with the ad ministration of the estate of James Emmanuel White. “On that date the court is sued a show cause order to Reg inald L. Frazier and Catherine White Turnage ordering them to appear in court April 5, 196E . at 9:30 a.m. to show cause wh> Catherine White Turnage should not be removed as administratrix of . the estate and why final ac count should not be rejected.’ The order recounts that or November 26, 1963 Mrs. Turn age was named administratrix ol her son’s estate although she ap peared to be an illiterate anc linoKln f A ci rrr» Vior nn m a one “not being given to much un derstanding.” The appointmen’ was made the order states be cause “the court placed trus and confidence in Frazier.” On December 12, 1963 th< order states Mrs. Turn age and Frazier came to fill a “purported final account' which was sworn to but whicl did not include any voucher bank statement or other mate rials. Henderson’s order says tha when the pair appeared on De cember 12, 1963 with the pur ported final accounting anc when he refused to accept i Frazier told him they would gc directly then to the Branch Banking and Trust Company ir Trenton and make a deposit. Bui the order finds that no deposit was made until December 13th and that the bank transactor purporting to cover the estate’s final accounting was made sub Stepped up spraying for mos quitoes on about a 16-hour daj basis has been instituted by al the public agencies that have this responsibility. But in many areas there is no spraying by governmental agencies and the responsibility Continued on Page 8 sequent to the attempted filing of the final account. At the show cause hearing on April 5, 1S65 Frazier did not ap pear at the appointed hour of 9:30 but a letter came stating it was impossible for him to do so because of other court com mitments, which prevented his getting there before Noon. Mrs. Turnage and a grand daughter, Katy Mae Bryant had reported at 9:30 and each had asked to be given permission to give an affidavit to the court. At 10:30 a m. Frazier arriv ed, the order says, and brought with him photostats alleging bank entry on December 13, 1963 of $1950 and showing a balance of $15. The photostat further reflect ed checks drawn on December 13, 1963 in the amount of $650 to Frazier for attorney fees, to B. S. Rivers for $690 for funer al expenses and to Mrs. Turnage for $595. On the basis of the sworn affidavits subscribed to by Mrs. Turnage and Miss Bryant the court found as a fact "that Ca therine White Turnage did not until the death of James Em manuel White know, nor had she ever heard of Reginald L. Frazier until she went to the undertaker where she was told she would have to consult Reg inald L. Frazier before the fun eral home would discuss any matters with her.” The affidavit also states that Mrs. Turnage accompanied Fra zier to the bank at the time of i the deposit and withdrawals and ■ that he carried her to her home : and in the presence of Miss Bry ’ ant purported to count into her i hands the $595 she was sup , posed to have gotten from the • check drawn in her favor. But, the affidavit alleges, that when Frazier had left all she had in her hand was five one-hundred dollar bills and two twenty dol lar bills. On the basis of these find ings Court Clerk Henderson or dered the three involved par ties to return immediately all funds they had drawn from the estate and Mrs. Turnage was removed as administratix of the estate. Henderson said White left mi nor children who had first call ! on any funds that have come or might come into the estate. Earlier this year Frazier was in the limelight when Superior Court Judge Chester Morris threatened to put him in jail ' for contempt after he had ! misrepresented the medical condition of a client. GESTAPO ORDERS IMMEDIATE REGISTRATION OF ILLITERATES IN LENOIR COUNTY By Jack Rider This week Lenoir County elec tion officials received their of ficial notification from the Ges tapo in Berlin, D. C. that be cause less than 50 per cent of the people over 21 years of age voted in the last general elec tion every illiterate person in the county automatically be comes eligible to register and to vote. This is the first local echo of the fiat issued by the .“Reich stag” earlier this month and specifically aimed state by state and county by county at those particular areas of the Reich Sphere the natives had recently shown signs of recklessness with the manner in which “der Fuehrer” is running the coun try. .. . ^ vV , . ’ whose record is a mat ter of long acceptance, were dis turbed by this order, but agreed to enforce it as set forth in the Gestapo directive. The only slight diversion from the order compounded by the Reichstag on the direction of “der Fuehrer” is that Lenoir County officials plan to require each illiterate registrant to prove who he or she is. This ruling was issued on Monday by the local elections board and at this writing it has not been judicial ly determined if this is an abridgment of one’s civil rights. Such items as driver’s license, social security, cards, welfare checks, NAACP membership cards and parole cards may be used for purposes of identifica tion. Hie election board did not make any statement about how an illiterate would know wheth er he had his own identification card or that of someone else. Each registrant is required to take an oath as to party affilia tion; which is a good “Democra tic Party” law that so far has not been outlawed by “der Fueh rer.” Although the election board made no statement it has been revealed by the usual reliable source that consideration is be ing given to including the pict ure of candidates along with their names on each ballot so the voters who cannot read will be able to select their leaders from a “mug shot.” It is rumored that some of the politicians who have been using publicity pictures taken from their high school annual are a bit shocked about having to use a picture taken within the recent past. They fear, so it is reported, that their followers, who have been accustomed to these vin tage album pictures might not recognize them in their present condition. Another large group of politi cal leaders are seeking to have a family portrait picture, show ing them with their children, wife, grandchildren, in-laws, and the family dog. Still another group is prepar ing petitions seeking to use pic tures in which they are seen shaking hands with Martin Lu ther King or embracing Marian Anderson. People in the electronics in dustry are also feverishly try ing to put together a voting ma chine in which the voices of all candidates will be played in the voting booth, with each repeat ing the Lord’s Prayer with or gan music in the background. rhe voter would punch a but ton for the voice he liked best, and there is the possibility that a picture of the candidate might be flashed on the voting booth wall to match each voice so the illiterate voter would have a louble check to make sure his vote went in the right direction. Back in Berlin, D. C. another less subtle group is studying the Soviet system under which no voter registration is necessary and everyone is forced to vote m every election day. This sys tem is simplified further by per mitting only one name on the ballot, and no write-ins are al lowed, either by literates or il literates. The usual informed sources from Berlin, D. C. say there is absolutely no truth in the rum jr that “der Fuehrer” is consid ering abolition of the Republi can Party.
