Says Orphans Merit Protec ton of Court Deplores Ter
rltic Slaughter on Highw avs; H. A. Woodlief Grand

In charging the grand jury at the

criminal cases. Judge r. Hunt Parker
specifically instructed that body to

tigatiOn of the operation of school

orphans and dependents by their
guardians.
Judge Parker called attention to
abuses and violations Of the law in
both these activities, and told the
jurors it was their duty to go into
the whole matter to learn what the
situation is in this county. The con-
tinued wholesale slaughter on the
highways of North Carolina prompt
ed the courts remarks about the
school buses. declaring that more
people are killed in traffic accidents
than in any place on earth in pro-
portion to the amount of gasoline
consumption and said il "is more
dangerous to travel the highways of
North Carolina than any place on
earth"
The jury was told to investigate
the conduct of magistrates, and charg
ed that "a public office is public
trust and the people are entitled to
know the acts of public officials" He
also said that freedom under the law
IS cure for communism and
anarchy"
The docket for trial at this weeks
session of superior court is rather
brief, less than 35 cases being on the
docket for disposal. Included in these,
however, is an abduction charge

1t is thought certain that the dock
ct will be cleared up we'll in advance
of the end of the week. though there
are some cases for trial that may run
into the taking Of considerable evil
dence and resulting in lengthy argu-
ments to the jury.
Judge Parker came here to preside
over this court by reason of an ex-
change with Judge E. III. Cranmer of
Southport who was to come here, but
who is holding court instead in his
home county Of Brunswick
Judge Parker told the grand jury
to report on the manner Of driving OF
school buses He said it SD violation
drive school buses while loaded with
children, and also to drive over 25
miles an hour while children are pas
sengers in them. No reckless driver
should be allowed to drive school
buses, he charged.
The court cited figures showing an
estimated LOO persons killed in high
way accidents in North Carolina in
1885 an increase over the 986 in 1884
injured in 1885 and property damage
done estimated at 100000. Over
three are killed and over 1877 injured
every day in North Carolina with a
daily property damage of $4,000.
About 80 percent of those killed in
the State are pedestrians, 3O.4 per-
cent children playing in the street
and 60 percent of the deaths are due
to speeding and ten percent to
drunken driving. Last year highway
deaths were $4,000 in the nation. or
more than were killed during the
World War, and over a million per-
sons were injured in the nation, the
court said, amounting to ten deaths
and 5000 injuries daily.
If any one person is more entitled
TO the courts protection than any
other, it is the orphan, Judge Parker
said, charging the grand jury to go
thoroughly into the handling of funds
of minors by guardians. Any guar
dian who mingIes his wars funds
with his own is faithless to his trust,
Judge Parker asserted.
