Appreciation
OF The Band
Is suppressed
Mrs. Wester Thinks 1t
Was Well Worth Cost
In Many Ways and
Thanks All Who Help
ed Make Trip Possible

An appreciation on behalf of the
Henderson high school band and
those responsible for the recent trip
to the New York Worlds Fair was
expressed today by Mrs M w.
Wester, president of the Band Boost
ers Club, to all who had a hand in
making the trip possible Her let
ter follows:
To the Editor:
Through the medium of your pa
per and in behalf of the Band Boost
ers Club, wish to thank every firm,
club, or individual for any contribu-
ton towards the trip that the Band
has just made to New York to the
Worlds Fair. And to those who
contributed immeasurably through
words of encouragement, we are
also greatly indebted. And to those
who bade us farewell on Saturday
and received us home again on
Wednesday night, that in itself made
the undertaking worthy of all eff
:'Ort
From the standpoint of those MAX
ing the trip, we are certain of its
success. It will make a lasting i'm
preston upon these boys and girls,
and we hope stimulate them into
wanting to make something of their
lives that they may go and see more.
AS for the grown persons with the
party, I'm sure it was worth every
thing to be able to forget all cares
or worries and in their enthusiasm
to fall in behind the band and march
to that stimulating tune of "Show
Boy" down Constitution Mall to the
Court of Peace
Henderson has a right to feel
proud of its delegation. The band
was. credit to itself, its school and
the town, and certainly received its
share Of acclamation. We have a
right to be graciously proud of our
State, our governor and, most of
all, our town. We believe that Hen
derson had one of the largest and
finest delegations of any town in
North Carolina. The publicity re-
ceived from this trip for the town
can hardly be- measured in dollars.
However, if that were the only rea-
son for making the trip, we have
been fully repaid
We wish it had been possible for
more of you to have been with us
on this trip. If you weren't, and
you can possibly do SO later, by all
means make the trip. The fair it.
self is worth all efforts
Again, let me say, "Thank you
for your loyalty and cooperation in
making this trip possible for these
boys and girls"
Sincerely yours,
Mrs. Millard w. Wester,
President Band Boosters Club.

Judge Presiding.
We, the grand jury for the June
term OF court, beg to submit the fol-
lowing report:
We have examined and passed up
on all bills of Indictment presented
We have visited in a body the
Scott Parker Sanatorium and the
county home, and found them in ex-
cellent physical condition and nicely

same IN an orderly condition.
!. II mas been brought to the atten-

vices, and that boys in their teen ages
are oelng allowed to play them #

UP boards, punch boards and num-
oers tlckets are being sold to some
extent, and as far as we can learn
M are also participated in by minors.
we have been advised that minors
are not always excluded from pool-
rooms.

grand jury that the county and city
law enforcement officers exert everv
effort to relieve this unhealthy con-
uitlon, and to stop all operations of

tlon we make solely in the interest
Oh the youth OF our community.
An unfortunate occurrence at the
county Jail a few weeks ago, where
IN man lost his life, has been in
vestlgated by us, and we beg to sub
NIT these facts:
Leonard Dunn, patient at the
Scott Parker Sanatorium, became
suddenly mentally unbalanced, ac-
cordlng to information secured from
DR.. Vance Rollins. A hurry call for
police officers brought Officers East
wood, Harris and Mitchell, who were
requested by Dr. Rollins to have him
locked up as a protection to himself
and others. These officers carried
Dunn to the county Jail, and, in the
presence and company of Jailor Ellis.
placed him in cell with one Pusey
Thorne, who was also of unsound
mind. Sometime during the night or
early morning hours, Dunn was
brutally beaten by Thorne, from the
effects of which he died a few hours
later. There is no disputing the fact
that Dunn, who was entitled to every
protection, through negligence or
oversight OF some one, did not re-
ceive the proper attention, and in
consequence thereof lost his life.
We have not endeaVored to fix the
responsibility on any person or per-
sons, and our recommendation in this
matter is that the proper authorities
be instructed to make a sweeping
investigation and endeavor to fix re-
sponsibility, and remedy the situation
for 9nV like OcclIrrnnon
In the event the proper authorities
find that the county Jail facilities are
inadequate to take care of the mem
tally unbalanced, and it is reason
able to anticipate their care from
time to time, then it would be our
recommendation that proper facili-
ties be provided with a new extern
sion Of the present cell blocks.
In connection with recommended
ton Of this grand jury at the March
term of court, we have been advised
that the County Board of Education
will include in its 1939-194O budget
the necessary expense to install and
erect adequate fire escapes at the
Negro graded school in Henderson.
We have followed this recommended
ton through and we consider this
very important.
An examination of the reports of
the justices of the peace discloses
that all have reported as required by
law except J. H. Rice.
