THE JONES COUNTY NUMBER -48 TRENTON, N. C., THURSDAY, MARCH 30, 1967 VOLUME xvm Mon With A Hoe Being Replaced by Man With Putter Since the dawn of civilization “The Man With A Hoe” has been a part of the overall picture, but in Eastern North Carolina me J chanized fanning, with herbi cides and flame throwers has long since retired the hoe, if not the man with a hoe. And with each passing year more and more of those who have “hung up the hoe” are tak ing up the driver, the irons, the wedges and putters that are used to chop grass on golf courses that are springing up with amaz-1 ing speed. Just a few years ago golf was a game for rich or retired peo-1 pie, but today the game has been brought witbin the reach of ail but the very lowest economic brackets and is available to ev ery age group outside the cra dle. Not so many years ago barn yard pool” was laughed at by the “he men”, who snickered at the knickered gentry as they beat that little dimpled ball from hole to hole around a cow pasture. But not any more. Golf is the “in” sport . . . and no where is it more “in” than in North Caro lina. Just west of Kinston the Fall ing Creek Golf Course is promis ing relief to the Kinston area’s swarm of golfers by July First. Down in Jones County the new course may be open late this year. > Both are big, beautiful layouts that will offer a challenge as well as relaxation to every play er from the beginner to the old pros. Kenansville, Ayden and Grif fon all have well established courses that are covered with golfers during any day when the weather is the least bit reason able 12 months to the year . . . T"‘ and even on days when the wea ther is “unreasonable” a few hardy souls are out whacking away. To the non-golfer golf is a stu pid looking game. Knocking hell out of a little ball and then walking after it, only to hit it again and going off to hunt for it again. But it is a game of great skill. The challenge of knocking that little ball several hundred yards and into a very tiny hole in three, four or five licks IS a challenge, and one that very i few can meet. Memberships are still being taken in both the Falling Creek and Jones County clubs. For full information about the Kinston course Donnie Gay of Radio Sta tion WFTC should be contacted and for full information about the Jones County club Carlton Ipock, assistant farm agent, should be contacted. The Falling Creek course is strictly for golf, but the Jones County Club will have tennis courts, swimming pool, boating nesty Pays list Friday night 13 , _ T._ Vernal Harvey of 6-C Carter Courts found a purse with $34 in it at a dance he|d in tHe park ing lot of Kinston' Plaza. Acting on his mother's advice, he turn ed the purse in to police who got it back to its owner, who by Mon day morning had not rewarded -youngster's honesty. But a i of $76 was raised and giv the youth, including $5 who lost ‘the facilities on Trent River, ban quet and party facilities. Neither group has yet an nounced whether it will place a limit on the total membership al lowed, but in actual practice no course can accomodate beyond a certain number of players and this has ultimately forced mem bership limitations on all exist ing clubs in this area, so the safest way to be assured of mem bership is to join now before the membership is closed. Water Hazard Adds Beauty to Course This’pond on the Falling Creek Golf Course will serve sev eral purposes for Lenoir County's newest golf course which is scheduled to open in July. It will provide water for irriga tion of greens and tees, and it will provide a challenge to players on two of the club's 18 holes. One other smaller pond will add beauty and a challenge to a short par-three hole on this same course. Pro's Home at Jones County Club This is the most nearly completed facility at the Jones County Country Club that is now under construction and it is the home of the professional who will operate the club that is expected to be opened late this year. Jones Clubhouse Framework Going Up This Tuesday picture shows part of the steel framework that will support the roof and ceiling of the Jones County Country Club's clubhouse, which sits on a high bluff, overlook ing a long reach of Trent River. This facility, the golf course, swimming pool and tennis courts of the Jones County club aro all expected to be ready fer use late this year. issaS&i Harold Hargett Jr. Fined $50 for Not Burying Dead Cattle, Dead Chickens Last Friday in Jones County Recorder’s Court Harold Hargett Jr., operator of a feed mill, gro cery and egg farm in the west ern edge of Trenton, was fined $50 by Judge Joe Becton.

Jones Central Sophomore Takes First Prize in District Science Fair Clover Wilson, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Marvin Wilson, a sophomore at Jones Central High School, displayed the first prize winning project at the dis trict science fair held last week in Wilmington. She will have the same pro ject at a statewide competition that is to be held April 7-8 at Duke University. Miss Wilson’s study was on the “Effect of Hormones on Sex Dif ferentiation”. She fed controlled groups of baby chicks on diets that in one instance contained male hormones, in another female hormones and a third pair were fed normal chick diets. The results were startling. The male chick who was fed male hormones started to crow at the tender age of three weeks and turned out a king-sized comb, also indicating that he was prematurely aged. The female chick fed male hormones grew twice as fast as the other two pullets, and also developed a large red comb, testifying to her mixed up situa tion. Marvin said he was watching that medicine mighty close a round the house because he did n’t want to reach for an aspirin and wind up on a poultry psy chiatrist’s couch. Majorie is al so using extreme care; medical ly speaking, that is.
