Prison Escapee Is Returned; Flees Funeral While attending the funeral of a sister, a Robeson County Prison Unit inmate broke and ran, escaping from his accompaning guard after becoming emotional due to a tremendous strain, according to prison officials. Sterling Jones, who was serving time there had just viewed the body of his deceased sister and had visited his ailing father when he apparently became highly emotional from the strain and fled his guardian. Sheriff's deputies were summoned to aid in the search for Jones who had entered a wooded area in the Purvis-Elrod areas of Union Township. Jones was picked up on the other side of the wooded area and returned to the prison unit a short time later. Reaction (Continued from Page 1 the Foreign Office in Bonn expressed hope that further agreement would follow in limitation of strategic weapons.

Communist China apparently considers the agreement "collusion" which will result in increased Soviet i i a pressure on China and monopolization of nuclear arms. The Japanese reports said there has been no official Chinese reaction but Kyodo news service quoted observers in Peking as saying China is of the view that the signing of the treaty is a move toward a U.S.- Soviet conspiracy in the field of missile and nuclear arms. The Peking correspondent of the newspaper Asahi Shimbun said Peking insists that the United States and Russia, if they want to limit strategic weapons, must first proclaim that they will never use nuclear weapons first against any country of the world. The Japanese welcomed the signing of the ragreement and expressed hope that the two superpowers will further curb their nuclear arms race. The Czechoslovak Communist party newspaper Rude Pravo hailed the agreement as "an exceptionally important milestone on the road toward easing the international atmosphere and toward securing permanent peace." "Economy Size" means large in soap, and a in automobiles.

The a i Convention met Saturday May 27 at 2 p.m. at the Court House in Lumberton.

Rains, although not as heavy as that accompanying hurricanes, were forecast for the southeastern portions of Georgia and South Carolina Saturday night. Chairman (Continue from Page 1 parties should be given more representation. At first, Black and Indian leaders asked for a three-way split, but finally the convention settled on 20 whites, 14 blacks, and 14 Indians. At this point, the three races again split into caucuses and elected their delegates as well as those offices in the county executive committee which had been apportioned out among the races ahead of time. Upon reconvening, all remaining officers and delegates were elected by acclaimation by the convention.

Before adjourning, the delegates passed a resolution commending Mrs. Lucy Gray for a job well done as executive secretary of the Board of Elections and as a member of the Board for many years. In addtion, outgoing chairman Earl Britt was given a standing vote of thanks for his leadership during the past four years. Britt announced that the district convention would be held on June in the superior courtroom and urged all those there to attend. The new officers and district delegates are as follows: The Robeson County Democratic i Committee: Chairman John W.

To the uninitiated, that's little short of magic, with Joe Hendrlck serving as Lumber ton's Merlin The Magician. Now if you're one of those who gets i i i i a little, normally unnoticed things, like the cost of the telephones for the city of Lumberton during the past year, the place to look is in the budget. A close i through a document's index will reveal that such an item is listed. Where? Under code 11. We did, for example, and found that the city of Lumberton paid out $6,305 for telephone service during the budget year 1971-72.

Are there places in a document where little "special funds" could be lurking behind a funny title? Could be. We didn't find any, but that wasn't what we were looking for. Again, however, this is not a criticism of the city of Lumberton. Any budget would provide such hiding places. The U.S.

Budget, North Carolina's even Robeson County's. Lives there a loving wife with heart so cold that she never squirreled out a few sheckles from month-to-month with hubby not knowing it, just so she could spring that favorite fishing rod, or new putter, which he had been admiring so long down at the sporting goods store, on him come birthday time? Like little-thought-of drains on a budget, there are also some little-thought-of sources of revenue. Prior to doing the work on this project we'd never heard of "intangibles taxes," but now we all know what that little item is. All right, we've been through the procedures for how it's all worked out, we've been through the ways it was worked out for this year, now how about the important stuff how's it going to work out this year? NEW SALES TAX The money coming in from the new county sales tax is not going to hurt the council as it goes about making its budget. Hendrick feels the city will get about $120,000 from the new tax in the coming fiscal year.

What system does one use to estimate revenue? "Each penny in the tax rate, at the current evaluation, will bring in about $4,600," Hendrick said. Always there are needs, needs which continue to grow despite the shouts of the taxpayers wanting some relief. Take the city's water supply. As Hendrick described it, Lumberton, thanks to it updating of the system will have a day's supply on hand. Presently, the city has only a 20-minute water supply stored for emergency use.

If something happened which made it impossible to replenish the current water supply, the city would first, cut off the water to the city's industries. Second, the people would be asked to practice water rationing. If everyone cooperated when we completed the water expansion now underway, that one day's normal supply, would last a week, with only the demands of household use to deplete it. But, just as the city is getting some new money from the sales tax, there'll be some new expenditures in the 1972-73 budget. The city's going to need a new sanitary landfill to meet the requirements of the state's new laws governing the disposal of trash and garbage.

Other new things Lumberton is going to need in the future include: a new fire station, a lot of street a i got requests on hand that would cost us $250,000 right a larger sewage treatment plant built it to handle 7,000,000 gallons a day thinking that'd hold us for 10 years. However, if recent growth continues, it'll be too small within two and a new delivery point for electricity ($20,000 already budgeted). THE TOUGHEST PART The toughest part of Hendrick's job in doing the budget? "When I go into that council chamber. There's no tough part till that moment," he replies. "The council has to make political and economic decisions much more than I do.

I look at it from an adminislrative point of view," he said. The job of the i i i a councilman at budget time is without question a hot seat. On one hand they've got pressure from each of their precincts toget work accomplished, and on the other hand they've got Hendrick's estimate of anticipated revenue. There's no way to balance those figures. But even that's not the worst worry.

Few people are aware of it, but Ihe council members are required by law to tax the pdople enough to run the city. Failing that, each member would join the criminal ranks for in North Carolina it is a i a a if i don't lax enough to run Lum- berlon properly. "When someone a and reports their house is on fire, we can't just say: 'Sorry, we do not have the equipment to come right now, we ve spent all the money we were given by city council this year," Hendrick said. It would be a no-no to tell the citizen whose house was being broken into by a a "I'm Probable Cause Is Found In DeLongMurder Case By HADl.EY WILLIAMSON Kobeaoulan Staff Writer Probable cause was found Friday in the case of Bobby Ray Dial, charged with the murder of John M. DeLong on May 13.

Bond for superior court was set at $10,000. District Court Judge Charles G. McLean explained a he usually sets such bonds at $5,000, but in Dial's case he noted that the defendant had fled to Baltimore after the incident and had to be returned. Dial, 24, of route 3, Lumberton, is charged with the slaying of DeLong, 44, of route 1, Lumberton, while they were gathered at the home of J. A.

(Tiny) Thomas in Saddletree on Rennert Road. Thomas testified that he and friends were gathered for a chicken supper in the shelter of his garage behind the house. He said that DeLong was frying chicken when he (Thomas) went into the house for salt, and while there he stuck what he called an "antique" .45 calibre pistol in his belt. When he returned, Thomas said, he saw DeLong throw a drink bottle at Dial, whereupon Dial drew a .25 calibre pistol and fired twice. DeLong was struck in the abdomen and back of the head.

Thomas said he hadn't seen the head wound, only the stomach wound, when he and Garfield Hunt loaded DeLong into a car and carried him to the hospital. Thomas explained that DeLong must have turned after the first Protestants (Continued from Page 1) Association marchers drifted back to Shankill, which they have threatened to turn into a "no-go" area for security forces for the second straight weekend. The organization threw up barricades in Shankill and East Belfast last Sunday to protest the refusal of Northern Ireland authorities to smash Irish Republican Army "no-go" areas in Londonderry, the north's second city. The explosions in the capital badly danaged an empty movie house in the old Park Road area and a building in the Crumlin Road district. Warnings were given before both blasts, and only two people were slightly hurt, including Christie.

At Forkhill, near the Ireland- Northern Ireland border, a bomb planted in a parked car exploded as a military patrol cruised past. The army said four soldiers were injured but not seriously. All three incidents were blamed by security forces on IRA guerrillas. sorry the policeman in your area is on vacation this week, but he'll be back next Friday." TAX Hendrick holds out little hope for a meaningful tax cut this year, although it has been a favorite topic of conversation among politicians all over the country. "I'll tell them how much money we're going to collect and then they'll decide if we can do all we need with the same tax rate," he said.

Hendrick admitted the increase in property tax evaluation, which has been estimated at amounting to between 18 to 20 per cent, would help hold down the actual tax rate. Hendrick, who smiles a lot in his own easy way, recalled that in 1969, the city council did things a little differently. "That year, they told me what they wanted done and then I went away and did my homework and came back and told them what it would cost. We won't do it that way this year," Hendrick chuckled. PROMISE TO DO It's obvious by this time that Ihe budget is a form of behavioristic promise to perform certain services for the citizens who foot the bill for the whole process of government the taxpayers.

It is also obvious that precedent is as important in governmental budgeting as it is in law. It should be, for Ihe budget itself becomes law when it is adopted in its final form. Translated, that means that the palterns of previous years are not going to be abandoned in a wholesale manner. The same programs of service police, fire, garbage collection, etc. -are going to be continued, at least at Ihe present level and most likely at an expanded and more expensive level.

Major changes in the ways of getting revenue or the way of getting rid of those hard-earned tax dollars are unlikely to occur. With that in mind, the best place to get a pretty good picture ov the 1972-73 budget would be the 1971-72 Lumberton budget. What can we be sure of? One thing's certain. The new budget is not likely to have a total of less than $4,113,984. If lost year's increase is any kind of reliable yard stick, LumbertonianH can expect the new budget to go up about $500,000.

And that a i hfiy. shot, causing the second to hit his head. "Bobby was Thomas said, but did not explain what he meant by Explaining his theory of his turning around, Thomas said, on cross examination, that he wasn't sure because he was not looking at DeLong. Questioned on that, Thomas explained that he had pulled his pistol and told Dial not to raise his against him. "Juul where were he was asked.

"I was not looking at DeLong," Thomas replied, "I was looking at that booger with the gun." He said Dial called him a "S-O-B" and then left. Deputy Sheriff Al Parnell, who Investigated, said that he was told the bottle was a Coca Cola bottle, but he had seen a broken beer bottle outside the shed. Parnell said he found one spent .25 calibre shell on the floor of the shelter. Davis Named 'Man Of Year' By Methodists "Man of the Year" at Chestnut Street United Methodist Church is W. W.

Davis. Presentation of a plaque to Davis was made by Worth Womick, chairman of the nominating committee for the men of the church. In the presentation Womick said: "A man does not strive to receive this award rather, as a result of his dedication to his church, he earns this instinction. This year's recipient of the Man of the Year Award has labored long and hard for his church and for his community. There are few positions in our church in which he has not served chairman of the administrative board, chairman of the finance commission, chairman of the Pastor- Parish Relations Committee, Chairman of the Personal Committee, Lay Leader.

"He has also held several district and conference positions, and he has been a member of the Fayetteville District Executive Committee Board of Laity He was instrumental in the music ministry we enjoy in our church."

Bill Hammond president; Don Gillespie vice president, Henry Davis --secretary and treasurer. $74,817 Pledged (Continued from Page 1) received pledges in his area of $11,000. The Jaycees, who launched the drive with a gift of $5,000 over the next five years, have also played a big role in the campaign.

The Lumberton youth raised $1,039 with their "Youth Carnival" April 8 at Biggs Park Shopping Center. The remainder of the $74,817 grand total includes $1,268 from door-to-door canvassing as reported by four of the five neighborhood chairmen. Despite being scheduled May 8-20, the canvassing has really not gotten off the ground. Each of the chairmen said a tremendous amount of work still needs to be done in this area. These neighborhood chairmen are Novella Whitted, South Lumberton; Zelma Locklear, West Lumberton; Ray Lavoie, East Lumberton; and Jim Allen and Jerry Giles, North Lumberton.

Mrs. Whitted said she had pledges amounting to $500. Hardest worker among the young people doing the door-to- door canvassing is Marian Bailey. 16-year-old daughter of Rev. James H.

Bailey. Rev. Bailey is co-chairman of the overall a i i His daughter, a junior at Lumberton High School, reported she had received pledges of $301 from a total of nine people. "These are on 31st and 32nd Streets," she said, "in the Tanglewood area. I still have 29th and 30th streets to go." Mrs.

Velma Canady, who is helping Mrs. Locklear in West Lumberton, said: "I'm on vacation this week and hope to knock on a lot more doors to help in this campaign." At its luncheon, the recreation foundation decided to extend the door-to-door canvassing and overall campaign into June. "We are very happy with the progress thus far," said Luther J. i president of the foundation. "We are far ahead of the fund-raising pace in the drive i raised for the Robeson County Library." A breakdown of the firms making pledges in the two major categories of special gifts and industries is as follows: SPECIAL GIFTS Southern a i a Bank a camaw Bank and Trust Co.

Home Federal Savings and Loan Assn. Protective Agency, Inc. and Robeaon Savings and Loan Assn. $500 on an annual basis. Individuals have given in this category $1,500, $750 and $100 plus Ihe i i anonymous gift of $25,000.

INDUSTRIES Alamac Knitting Mills Scarborough Builders Supply Co. Lumbee Corp. Pepsi Cola Bottling Co. Acme Electric Corp. and Alpha Cellulose $500.

The foundation is scheduling another meeting in June in continuing a month-by-month progress report on the fundraising. It is also suggested to Bill Sapp, director of the recreation department, that a master plan will drawn of the proposed Lumber River Green way area, citing priorities of which areas there should be developed first. Sapp said that stage one should be the acquisition of land. Britt noted that additional land in the Greenway may be given to the a i as a "charitable donation," but this may be done after June. Meanwhile, the emphasis at the meeting was that everyone should get involved in the door-to- door canvass so all of Lumberton can have a part in the fundraising.
