found all over the world, the senti-
mental, and good earthly humor.
One such scene represents a lazy
midday on a tropical quay. The
gay blade is sound asleep against
a pile of bananas, while some
drummers gossip at one side. Into
the scene come women bearing
bright fruits and vegetables on the
way to market, silly giggling girls
followed by fiirtatious boys, and a
new woman in the town. Brightly
dressed, smoking big black cigar,
and a bird cage balanced precari-
ously on her head, she creates quite
a furry for a moment-but only a
moment, for the tropics do not
change, and soon all is quite as be-
fore she came.
Katherine Durham as the wom-
an with the cigar adds memorable
Characterization in this satire,
which is one of the highlights of

N.C.WelcOmeP Proposals
Closely Parallel City's

ted to raise the age limit over
which the juvenile court has ju-
risdiction from 16 to II. 90 The
conference has recommended that
legislation be passed permitting
all cities in the state to establish
a court of domestic relations.
The Council of Social Agencies
in a report to the county and city
commissions has commended Off
cials of both boards for their ex-
cellent progress in handling the
problems of juvenile delinquency.
It was noted in the report that
each of the recommendations pre-
viously submitted by the council,
has been acted upon and carried
out for the most part. And even
now, plans are under way to COM
plete the remainder of the pro-
gram. The council explained the
hope that further improvement of
the local situation may be obtain
ed through continued joint affort
of the Council of Social Agencies,
cooperating with the city and
county governments.
Local action recommended by
the council includes: The appoint
ment of a matron for the building
for white juveniles; provision for
physical and mental examinations
for delinquents; purchase of a new
stove for the kitchen in the coun-
ty home; program to obtain
more suitable foster homes; and
conference between the juvenile
court and board of education look
ing toward the better handling of
child guidance in our schools.
The councils report expressed
the opinion that, although not in
cluded in its original recommends
ton, the program of elimination of
sub-standard housing now being
vigorously carried on by the city
will make very substantial con-
tribution toward the reduction of
juvenile delinquency.
Also recommended by the coun-
Gil were three Improvements which
will require action by the next ses-
sion of the state legislature before
they could be put into effect. They
are legislation to raise the age
limit of cases over which the ju-
venile court has jurisdiction from
16 to 10; an enabling act to pro-
vide court of domestic relations
for New Hanover county; and the
establishing of a state training
school for Negro girls.
