„. .„ u a J™* BAnJFF GIVES NE W DEPUTY TIPS AS OTHER FAYETTE OFFICERS KIBITZ
Hugh Stinchcomb, Deputies Allen Farr, James A. Jones Watch Mrs. Lois Seawright Give Tips io Mrs. Thomas Crews
Deputy Sheriff Shuns Gun
By BETTV CARROLLTON
Constitution Women's Editor
FAYETTEVILLE' - Mrs.
Thomas (Marian) Crews, Fay
ette County’s first woman dep
uty sheriff, is getting plenty
of expert advice on how to
handle her new job.
But her favorite tipsters are
not the men with whom she
works (Sheriff Hugh Stinch
comb, who appointed Mrs.
Crews to the position, deputies
James A. Jones and Allen
Farr). Deputy Crews leans to
ward learning from another
woman — Fayetteville's be
loved Mrs. Lois Sea wright
(fondly called “Miss Lois”).
MRS. SEAWRIGHT, daugh
ter of the late F. B. (Tobe)
Brown who served as Fayette
County sheriff for 12 years, in
1956 became the first woman
baliff of the Superior Court
here She’s now also assistant
registrar.
“We’ve been trying to get
Mrs. Crews to wear this gun,”
observed Deputy Jones, tak
ing a wicked-looking pistol

and holster from the office
safe, “but so far she’s shied
away from it.”
Mrs. Crews didn't balk, how
ever. when Miss Lois added
her entreaties to those of the
male trio. A diminutive dyna
mo who at 77 years of age is
as spry and snappy as a ma
tron of 50, Miss Lois prompt
ly adjusted the gunbelt to a
more proper angle about Mrs.
Crews' slim hips: “And if you
really want to learn how to
shoot, just come over to my
backyard any afternoon,” she
told Fayette’s new deputy.
Mrs. Crews declined the in
vitation. For now, at least:
“I’m crazy about my job, but
I don't like guns.”
Empowered to make arrests
when necessary, the deputy’s
duties include serving as ra
dio operator on a half-time
basis in the sheriff’s office.
That craft she is learning
from the men, who declare
she is becoming a real ex
pert.
THE PERT ’N’ PRETTY
officer currently is setting up
— and will maintain — an up
to-date record of all arrests
and criminal cases which
come under the jurisdiction of
the sheriff’s office.
“That’s keeping me real
busy now,” said the mother
of two children (Kay, 18
months old, and James Wil
liam, 8 years old), “and I’m
afraid it’s pretty slow going
—I frequently get so interest
ed in the individual cases it
takes quite a while to com
plete the record.”
Sheriff Stinchcomb, who es
tablished the Fayette “firsts”
in appointing Miss Lois and
Mrs. Crews to office, said he
is “very pleased” with the
results: “We’ve not had a sin
gle complaint from the pub
lic or horn any official,” he
reported. Sheriff Stinchcomb
explained that the growth of
Fayette County had increased
the business at his office and
the need for more record
keeping, clerical details, al]
of which Mrs. Crews will now
handle. During the past sum
mer, the Fayette sheriff’s of
fice went under the salary sys
tem instead of the fee sys
tem. The change brought
about the hiring of a new full
time deputy and purchase of
a new patrol car. The County
Commission has established
a policy of purchase of equip
ment designed to provide
Fayette with the most mod
ern and up-to-date depart
ment with which to offer pro
tection and service to local
citizens.
Mrs Crews previously
served as clerk in the City of
Fayetteville office, praised'
Sheriff Stinchcomb (who on
the first of January marked
his 17th year in office) not
only in his capacity as her
superior officer, but for his
foresight in utilizing the tal
ents of women in responsible
jobs.
“I DON’T THINK a woman
should be asked to accept any
job just because she is a
woman,” the deputy empha
sized. “But certainly there
are a lot of capable women
who qualify for all sorts of
jobs, but have not been con
sidered for those positions.”
As far as her own job is
concerned. Mrs. Crews thinks
“everyone should work up
here some just to see what
can happen.”
Admittedly, there is some
thing different every day:
“Even the routine is interest
ing and exciting.”
The trim deputy sheriff
laughingly reported that some
local citizens have “unusual”
ideas about just what does go
on in the law office each day:
“Recently, one woman con
gratulated me on my job then
added, quite seriously, ‘Now
you’ll know how much money
everybody makes.’ ”
Since she was sworn into
office on Jan. 3, Mrs. Crews’
duties have not included pro
viding the staff with morning
coffee. And that situation has
created the only mystery
she’s been unable to solve:
“The men all leave me here
while they go out to get cof
fee. And I haven’t yet found
out where they go.”
Character building is almost
like the weather, everybody
talks about it but very few do
anything about it.

Service Now
Available
Bryan County farmers can
arrange for official staking and
referending of their 1966 acre
ages the County Agricultural
Stabilization and Conservation
Committee announced this week.
To get staking and referenc
ing service, which is being
provided on a cost basis, a
farmer must file a written re
quest with the County ASC Of
fice prior to March 15, 1966,
says Mr. H. L. Page, Commit
tee Chairman. The rate to be
charged for the service in Bry
an County has been established
at $5.00 per farm plus 50 cents
per acre, and payment based on
this rate must be made at the
time the request for staking
and referencing is filed.
“The staking and referencing
is purely optional,” says Mr.
Page, “and is offered as a serv
ice to farmers who prefer to
have an official measurement to
use as a planting guide . .
The chairman explains that
all of these acreages in the
county will be measured as soon
as possible after crops are
planted to determine compli
ance with the programs. When
compliance is checked, the of
ficial acreage shall be the acre
age staked and referenced if
the crop or land use is limited
to the staked and referenced
area.
ASCS to Issue New Type
Tobacco Marketing Cards
in 1966
Tobacco growers are being
asked to furnish information to
be used in preparing a new type
marketing card for tobacco
farms.
The new cards will be plastic
—similar to plastic credit cards
used by gasoline stations. The
card will be more convenient
and of a size that it can be
carried in a billfold.
The information being re
quested must be obtained at an
early date so that the new cards
can be prepared accurately and
in time for use during the mar
keting season. Farmers are
urged by ASC personnel to fur
nish the name of the farm oper
ator for 1966 (the person in
charge of the entire farm oper
ation) and the number of his F
C Stabilization card.
Tobacco growers will present
the new card at the warehouse
at the time their tobacco is
weighed in. Warehousemen will
imprint farm identification on
a warehouse sale bill and furn
ish a copy to the grower and
one to the Record Center locat
ed in North Carolina. The new
card is a part of a new record
keeping and reporting system to
be installed this year.
