lington church. Detective Sergt
Charles Lee reported that a
man entered the church. ex-
pressed an interest In joining
it and asked the secretary, who
was alone, II he might look
around.
Sergt. Lee said that later the
man returned, thrust a knife
against her throat and made
her obey him.
The crime was virtually a
duplication of the one that
happened in Fairfax last Oc-

there could not positively
identify him as her assailant,
police said.

Ice-Cooted Highways
Cause Many Accidents

Ice-coated streets and high.
ways caused a rash Of traffic
accidents in the Washington
area this morning, particularly
in the Maryland and Virginia
suburbs.
Most Of the accidents involv-
ed only minor property damage
and no injuries.
Roads within the Park Police
jurisdiction, like George Wash
ington and Suitland parkways
were especially hazardous.
Park Police said every avail
able car was dispatched to in
vestigate them, but persons in
volved had to wait their turn"
until police.could catch UP with
them.
The icy roads were the re-
suit Of yesterdays rain and
snowfall which left many areas
around Washington, especially
in the western and northern
suburbs, covered with two or
more inches Of snow.
BY dawn today a thin glaze
Of ice coated the roads. and
State and county highway
crews were busy sanding them.

No Damage

Not even a kitchen fire dur

with the regularity of Miss
Todd'S noon day meal Monday.
Excitement and alarm among
the hungry guests was greater
than damage of the fire.
After the smoke had been

still would be served. Yes"
Mrs. Todd replied. IF the
house burned down. we'd still
serve dinner in the yard"
The fire was more smoke
than anything else and was
caused by grease spilled on the
big gas stove which has be-
come a familiar landmark for
Eastern North Carolina trav-

Guest speakers for the meet
ing were Ed Hickman, Cap
tain and George Jones, DireC-
tor CT the LoriS Rescue Squad.
They were accompanied by
LoriS Chief of Police. Paul Ray
Jones. Hickman told of several
interesting incidents which the
LoriS unit had experienced in
the past three years since be-
ing vi SdllILCO.
Hickman pointed out that
this was not just glory or
ganiZation and that the mem
bers must love helping their
fellow man in all types of
work. THE squad doesn't need
too many men to do a job al
any one time but does need to
have several available" he
said.
Jones said that rescue
squad should not act in sit
uation where it would compete
with a funeral home but should
limit its service to emergency
situations.
The purpose of a rescue
squad is to deliver from con-
finement, violence or evil. This
includes a lot of territory and
as a. result calls for many diff
ferent types of equipment.
for example, one accident may
call for rescuing someone who
had fallen into a deep well.
The next call me be to cut a
person out of a wrecked car.
Also the duties of a rescue
unit include searching for lost
persons, searching for the bod
les of drowning victims. and
coming to the relief Of persons

dents.

Tentative Curriculum Set
For Consolidated School

A tentative curriculum for
West Columbus - Columbus
County's first consolidated
School - was recently pre-
scented To the Board of Edu2a-
ton by county assistant sup
crintcndcnt John Hicks.
In submitting the cirricul-
lum. Hicks pointed that the
suggested study program was
not firmly fixed and that the
desire of the individual stu
dcnt would be the final de-
Gliding factor in the four-year
course selection.
Supt. T. Ward Guy told
Board members that the schoo!
plans were moving through
state channels in Raleigh on
schedule, and it is hoped that
construction on the schools
physical plant will begin this
summer.
The consolidated school.
Which will draw pupils from
Fair Bluff, Evergreen, Cerro
Gordo, and Chadbourn, is be-
ing financed by part of a 50
million bond issue passed last
November by county voters.
Approximately 100000 of the
bond issue will be spent in the
consolidation program.
Guy said hopes are that the
school will be ready for pupils
by the fall of 1864.
Course description and the
suggested curriculum is as fol-
lows:
Science
!. General Science, a back
ground course dealing with
areas of physical science, is a
required subject for ninth
grade students.
