FARLEY ON COURT
SET FOR FRIDAY
City And County Attorneys
To Confer With Legis-

City Attorney William B. Camp
bell, County Attorney Marsden
Bellamy and the county's two leg
islative representatives have set
three o'clock Friday afternoon for
a conference on proposals that
New Hanover county set~up a
combined domestic relations and
juvenile court, Campbell said last
night.
The conference is expected to
60 far in deciding whether Sena-
tor-elect Alton A. Lennon and Rep
resentative : elect R. M. Kermon
will introduce the General Assem-
bly, enabling act which the county
needs to set up the court here.
Chief support for the domestic
relations court has come from the
Wilmington Community Council,
whose leaders have asserted that
it would go far towards solving
family problems and l~essening jul
venile delinquency in this area.
Both the county board and city
council are on record in support
OF the court in principle if not in
concrete fact.
Kermon and Lennon have
agreed that they will not back the
proposal enabling act unless they
are assured that local government
agencies intend to put it in effect.
It is understood that SO far both
representatives are not convinced
that the city and county govern
ments are ready to set up the
court even if they are given the
enabling act they need.

GIFTS BRIGHTEN
SEBRELL FAMILY
Contributions To Rehabili-
tate Fire Victims Now
Total $1,276

A Merry Christmas came to the
Lake Forest home Of City Fire
man and Mrs. William B. Sebrell
and their four children today-a
Christmas with its laughter and
renewed hopes all conjured up out
of the ashes by the goodwill Of a
city.
Beneath the tree in the Sebrells'
temporary home this morning
there will sit the few precious
Christmas toys that were salvag-
ed from the fire that wiped out
every one of the Sebrell family's
other possessions last Thursday
afternoon.
The toys are freshly painted and
the marks of smoke obliterated.
They were the symbol Of what
a week had done for a family's
Christmas hopes.
At press time last night Will
mington had contributed $1276 to-
wards rebuilding the Sebrells'
burnt-out lives. Late donations in
cluded: S. given through the Star
News by A.M.B.; SIS lately re-
ceived by the Police Department;
and a total of $12 additional funds
collected by Sebrells' fire depart
ment colleagues last night.
But the tamily's need is not yet
filled. Every one of the three agen-
cies which has been receiving con-
tributions for the Sebrells is still
open for further donations.
The Night before Christmas has
come and gone-bringing with it
hope and warmth for a family
that was nearly wiped out six days
ago. The city has a Christmas
story of which 1t can forever be
proud.

Oh Little Town OF Bethlehem

llCCle tOWII VI DeCIlleIleIl,
How still we see thee lie;
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
The silent stars go by;
Yet in thy dark streets shineth
The everlasting light;
The hopes and fears of all the years
Are met in thee tonight.
O morning stars, together
Proclaim the holy birth.
And praises sing to God the King,
And peace to men on earth;
Where charity stands watching
And faith holds wide the door,
The dark night makes, the glory breaks,
And Christmas comes once more.
How silently, how silently,
The wondrous gift is given
So God imparts to human hearts
The blessings of His heaven.
No ear may hear his coming
But in this world of sin,
Where meekness will receive him, still
The dear Christ enters in.

SUGAR SHIPMENT
CASE ANSWERED
Agricultural Department
Says None OF U. S. Crop
Going Abroad

WASHINGTON, Dec. "a up -
Sugar-hungery Americans demand
ing to know why We ship sugar
abroad at a time like this. receiv-
ed assurance from the Agriculture
department Tuesday:
We don't.
1t is true, department officials
said, that sugar leaving American
refineries for foreign areas this
year will total around 400, 900 short
tons. But, they explained:
This sugar was grown in Cuba,
not here. 1t did not belong to the
United States, but was part of the
Cuban crop allocated to Canada,
Great Britain, France and other
shortage areas.
1t came to this country as raw
sugar to be refined.
Officials said that arranging to
have the sugar refined here pro-
vided more work for American
refineries and their workers. They
said that it all could have been
refined either in Cuba or the
countries to which it was allocated.
Confusion Rampant
The Agriculture department says
much confusion has developed in
regard to the Cuban sugar crop
mainly because this country has
been buying the bulk Of it since
early in the war. In doing so, the
United States did not buy the crop
alone, but as an international
agent for all the countries which
normally depend upon Cuba for
part or all their sugar needs. .
Since early in the war, the allled
countries have been operating on
a worldwide sugar-sharing plan.
