Centerpiece in Kinston's Near-Riot This is the battered remains of a car belonging to Camp Lejeune Marine Everhart Turner, who is awaiting trial in Le noir County Superior Court on charge of assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill and conspiracy, along with six other Marines. Tuesday Recorder Emmett Wooten found no probable cause of guilt in charges of malicious damage to private property against four Kinstonians, who were accused of inflicting the es timated $600 damage to the ciar shown here. Its windshield, rear window, headlight were broken and the heavy damage done down the full length of its right side is shown here. Turner and his six Marine buddies are charged in the near-riot of Sep tember 6th that came on the 300 block of East Bright Street in Kinston when the Marines shot into a home, wounded two peo ple and terrorized the area for a frightening few minutes. While many DE graduates go into retail sales, and up the line to such high-paying positions as store managers, personnel man agers and merchandise buyers, the field is by no means limited to jobs in this area. Throughout the nation, peo ple trained in marketing are taking their places in wholesale houses, banks and other busi nesses as sales representatives, insurance and real estate brok ers and salespeople, and in hun dreds of other business and ser vice positions. DE is vocational training with a future. A flexible program, stu dents of all interest levels and a wide range of ability can inte grate vocational preparation of this type into their high school programs to advantage. DE trained students can find a way into the business world imme diately upon graduation from high school. For the college bound, prepa ration in marketing taken along with a well chosen schedule of academic courses can be valu able both in terms of landing a job in a college or university town and in further study in the business and economics areas. Two DE courses are being of fered this year at Jones Central. They are Marketing 1 and Busi ness Economics. A total of 79 students are taking the Mark eting course which is taught during three periods each day, and there are 25 students in the Business Economics section, j In several cases, students have signed up to take both the Mar keting and Economics courses this year, j If the program is successful and school officials decided to continue offering it next year, Marketing 2, a senior level sec ond year of study will be added. When DE is properly establish ed at Jones Central, certainly by the third year, students will be able to study Marketing three of their four years in high school. Business Economics will be of fered for sophomores, Marketing 1 will be a junior level course, and Marketing 2 a senior unit. Students taking the Market ing course are encouraged to find part-time jobs for at least a few weeks during the school year. This on-the-job training, if undertaken in a suitable bus iness or office, can provide both the opportunity for practical ap plication of what is learned in the classroom and a chance for the student to get a first-hand look at the business community. Jones Central does not offer a full co-operative DE program in which students spend part of their day throughout the school year in a closely supervised work situation. The only oppor tunity for students in the Jones Central program is after school, on Saturdays and perhaps dur ing the holiday season. Henry H. Goodman is the Dis tributive Education Instructor at
