.2,870 District Court
Cases Pending Trial
AS New Year Begins

District Court will swing into the
new year with approximately 2,87O
cases pending trial, according to fig
ures in the Office of the assignment
commissioner. While the number Is
large, 1t does not constitute record,
according to court officials.
The majority are civil cases, OF
which some 2,348 were entered on
the court calendar for trial, with an
additional $50 or more expected to
be calendared momentarily. A large
number of the civil cases are divorce
suits, many of which are expected to
be uncontested and which, 1t Is be-
heved, can be quickly disposed of.
There also are 371 criminal cases
pending trial. OF these, however,
there are only 228 active cases, with
143 others not being ready for trial
for various reasons. Among the
reasons for delay in the 143 are that
defendants are still at large, or of
unsound mind, or still in the armed
forces.
Five Criminal Case Justices.
Considerable inroads were made in
the disposition of cases after July /,
with 1888 Criminal cases and 903 civil
cases having been disposed of since
then. Most of these were disposed
OF after October l, following the re-
duced summer schedule.
To expedite the handling of GRIM
inal cases, five justices are scheduled
to preside at criminal trials. Two
OF them, however, have alternate
assignments for other duties.
Those scheduled to hear criminal
cases only are Chief Justice Bolitha
j. Laws and Justices James M. Proc.
tor and David A Pine. Added to this
list are Justice Jennings Bailey, who
will also preside at condemnation
proceedings, and Justice Henry A

ricanes- lone striking Texas, the
other Southern Florida-widespread
tornadoes and floods and many fires
were among the calamities.
Preparedness Cuts Toll.
Outstanding fact in disaster re-
lief is that the deaths of fewer than
IL persons were directly attribu-
table to the two hurricanes. This
is ascribed in part to advance plan
ming by Red Cross disaster pre-
paredness and relief committees for
warning. rescue, shelter and care OF
victims.
In one emergency. with more than
5 feet of snow blanketing Buffalo
N. z, and surrounding area, the
Red Cross chapter arranged for de-
livery of food and medical supplies
to outlying snowbound communi-
ties by ski patrol. and provided cots
and blankets to the city post office
and the street department to care
for the reserve Christmas postal en-
ployes and the men working around
the clock to clear the streets.
Health and safety education was
advanced on broad scale during
the year, the Red Cross reported

The Appearance Of Evil

There is no purpose here to try
Representative May of Kentucky, chair
mar of the House Military Affairs
Committee, who is accused of using his
Influence to channel war contract S
through munitions firm, presumably
to his personal profit.
The Senate's War Investigating
Committee is capable of bringing to
light all facts in the case and if it is
proved that the representative was
guilty of misdeeds the courts are avail
able for further examination of evil
dence.
Our purpose is only to direct at
tention to the Biblical injunction to
avoid 1.-The appearance of evil" When
this IS done no mar has reason to fear
investigation, whether he be in official
LIE or the humblest of callings.

fish stayed up there for severa
weeks and was beginning to be
quite a nuisance.
I'm sure the officials of Wrights'

t h e S e unclean situations are

After all, this is the time of the
year when not only Wrightsville,
but Carolina, Wilmington, and Kure
should be putting their best faces
forward. Now is the time wher
folks from all over the country
come down to these beaches and il
would be unfortunate if these vlsl-
tors, who're really the life-blood Of
our resorts, should get the wrong
impression of our beaches.
The beaches each have stree
departments - Wrightsville now
has a daily garbage service and ]
assume that Carolina Beach has
also so there really isn't any
reason why the strands can't be
kept clean, too.
For some reason or other I get
the notion that most people want
to do their ocean-bathing al
beaches that are as near to being
Immaculate as possible. These
same people are not going to want
to keep coming back for bathing
purposes to a beach that is lit
tered.
Naturally, the Wrightsville Beach
authorities-and I'm talking main
ly about Wrightsville because
happen to be on that Beach about
every day may argue that the
folks who come to the Beach
haven't any business littering up
the place. But that's the same as
saying people who go to parks for
picnics have no business ~littering
up the premises.
There must be some way the
Wrightsville authorities can handle
the situation. I note that some
body is spending some money down
there for the publication of a beach

TOP o. THE MORNING
Jaycee Food Campaign

The Junior Chamber of Commerce,
which has a schedule of activities that
a less energetic, predetermined organi-
cation would shy away from, is this
week sponsoring Wilmington's partici-
patton in Family Food Week-one of
the nationwide undertakings designed
to help feed the starving hordes in less
fortunate lands where war destruction
was so heavy.
The Jaycees have placed receptacles
in grocery stores where patrons may
deposit gifts-a can of one food or an
other-which will be forwarded to some
shipping point for distribution among
the starving peoples Of Europe or
Asia.
Prices of canned goods have not
risen so high that most housewives can
not afford to buy an extra can of food.
It is reasonable to believe that the Jay
Gees will have to empty their recepta-
cles more than once.
With the cooperation of the city's
ministers, similar receptacles are to be
at church doors, for the convenience of
w%orshipers who wish to share in this
great humanitarian effort.
1t is important to remember that
