ty home was voted by the New
Hanover Board of County Commits.
sioners yesterday morning at the
body's regular session, when 1t
was decided to take under consid.
Grafton the construction Ut a new
home lat such time as it seems
opportune.
Although Chairman Addison
Hewlett agreed that the county
can afford better home than
the one we now have" it was his
contention that no action should
be taken until time when labor
and materials become available.
The concensus Of the Board was
that the time was not what they
termed "opportune" for the con.
struction OF new home. They
agreed that the grand jury recon-.
lnendation was sound.
Chairman Hewlett also brought
to the attention Of the Commits.
sion, the Urgent need for addition
al nurses at the County home to
assure that patients get the
proper attention. He also men.
toned the shortage OF sheets at
the home. and his recent efforts
to obtain additional supplies.
With respect to the recommen.
dation of the grand jury that ths
county commissioners at once
adopt definite plan Of procedure
as to the future operation of the
home,' a committee from the
County now is working with the
Board Of Welfare In this connec-
ton.
A meeting between the City and
County committee appointed last
week and Harry Fales, superin.
tendent of the Bureau of 1dentifi.
cation, was scheduled for tomor.
row to hear Mr.. Fales report Of
the activities Of the bureau. Coun-
ty Attorney Marsden Bellamy re.
ported that Mr.. Fales had notified
him last Friday that his report
was prepared, and that he was
willing to meet with the city-coun-
ty officials at their convenience.
At 2:30 p. m. Friday the
County Commissioners will review
property on which complaints
. were presented to the Board Of
Equalization and Review to deter
mine whether or not reductions in
taxes are advisable.
In this connection, on the mo-
ton of Commissioner Gardner, the
Board ruled that as soon as the
county reaches a decision as to
t the assessment, that notice be sent
to the property owner, informing
: him Of it's action.

Hitler, feverishly disunited on the
question of Negroes.
The whites in Carvell City were
passively prejudiced or fiercely in
tolerant, according to what they
heard and how they were aroused.
Sometimes they listened to Kirk
Mabry, liberal editor of the local
Salute. But when Kinks son, Alan,
came home wounded from Guadal-
canal, he found that a Negro muir
der had stirred up the whites and
that they were primed to follow
the new marshal.
Cancy and His Tart. Cancy en-
joyed being marshal. He had more
money than ever before; ladies
bowed to him in the street. He
was not supposed to touch liquor,
but once in a while he would stop
at friends house for a few slugs.
He took up with a smooth little tart
named Julie, who showed him the
gay life on a visit to the state capt.
tai. Nobody but Editor Mabry and
his son seemed to bother about the
new marshaps goings-on. Cancy
had the Negroes so scared that they
Minneapolis spokesman. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1945-02-09

would hardly venture out after
dark.
Urged on by Julie, Cancy grew
holder. When Catfoot Grimes and
an Italian storekeeper peddled their
liquor to the Negroes, Cancy looked
the other way-after pocketing a
fat cut. When Doc Stanley found
out, Cancy's pals ran him out of
town. But Julie, greed and liquor
got the better of Cancy in the end.
Slowly, shrewdly, Editor Mabry and
his son piled up the evidence against
Cancy, worked painstakingly to win
over one respectable citizen after
another. Then they struck-in an
editorial that staggered Carvell City
and brings the story to a bloody
end.
They Lynch Up North q" The
Winds of Fear is better, as we'll as
more timely, than most current
best-selling novels. Its faults are
the usual ones of novel of its kind:
in his worthy effort to be scrupu-
lousy just, Author Carter often
sounds more like an honest broker
than an imaginative novelist. Like
most just men he sounds best when
he let's go-as when Editor Mabry
bellows: "They lynch up north, and
damn sight more people than we
do. Only they call them race riots"
