yet achieved it's goal of $119, 600.
The Chest drive got off to a
late start in Wilmington this
year and with its time schedule
upset has run longer than antic-
ipated. Because they have de-
layed casting off in order to al
low the Chest campaign time to
launch and complete their
drive, the Seal Sale is already
several weeks behind in its pub
licity and campaign to
raise funds.
The officials of the TB as
sociation have postponed their
drive as long as possible, and
at a meeting yesterday they de-
clared the Community Chest
"will have to pardon US while
we march in"
The Seal Sale will crystalize
with plans to be completed at
tonight's Junior Chamber OF
Commerce meeting for the
Christmas seal bond sale which
annually nets a large portion of
the goal which this year will be
$40, 900.
Launching of the Seal Sale
means that Wilmington and
New Hanover county will have
two major drives under way at
the same time, a fact which To-
cal campaign managers regard
as an obstacle to the success OF
both campaigns.

the ditch to safety and that Will
lie ran toward the rear of the
truck to signal the on-coming
ear.
The patrolman said Willie
told him he had reached the
rear corner of the truck when
the collision occurred and he,
too, jumped into the ditch. He
said he found only one front
headlight burning on the truck
and the men had told him they
had already had trouble with
a short circuit at the battery
causing failure of some of the
lights on the truck, but had re-
paired it.
Bobby James and Harold F.
Dickson, who were riding with
Mathis at the time of the fatal
collision, testified that the car
was proceeding at As miles per
hour and that they saw no light
or sign of the truck before they
crashed into it.
Goldberg had some difficulty
trying to introduce pictures of
the wrecked truck and car and
scene of the accident as evi-
dence, but scored for the de-
fense with the testimony of Paul
Hess, in charge of the local
weather bureau.
Hess testified that at l am.
on the night of the accident an
observation was taken in Will
mington showing a clear, moon
lit night, with the moon two and
cne-half days past full moon
and visibility of five miles. He
gave the opinion that a truck
should be visible by the moon
light one quarter of a mile
away.

was covered with liability in-
surance sufficient to satisfy any
civil damage claims.
Solicitor Clifton Moore argued
that the extent ofg Alexander's
negligence in the case was for
the jury to decide, and Judge
Burgwyn concurred in that OPT
MON after some hesitation.
DR.. A. H. Elliot had testified
that Mathis had died as a re-
suit of a head injury sustained
in the collision of the car and
truck. ]. L. Flowers, of the
state highway patrol, testified
that his investigation disclosed
that Alexander and another Ne
gro, Willie Birkette, had left the
stalled truck parked in the right
hand lane of Highway II, for
half an hour while they attempt
ed to repair the motor, while
G. r. Kidd, a white man, sat
inside the cab. Flowers said
no satisfactory answer was gi-
ven by Alexander to his queries
as to why no warning flares
were placed on the road, no one
was stationed to signal ap-
preaching cars, nor was any eff
fort made by the three men to
push the truck off the road.
Repeats Conversation
Flowers said that Alexander
told him Willie was holding his

heard Mathis auto ap-
proach, that he jumped across

associations and civic clubs has
made it possible to X-ray as
high as 88 per cent of the adult
population in the II counties
which already have had the sur
vey," DR.. Elliot pointed out.
The local health department
is the sponsoring agency, and
local authorities are required to
provide funds to take care of
the operating costs of the sur
vey which is estimated costs $40
for 100 persons. The Red Cross
Sanatorium committee has
guaranteed the necessary funds
to bring the survey to New
Hanover county.
According to DR.. Elliot, the
follow up of all patients found
is the responsibility of the local
health department and it's nurs-
ing staff.
To build up public respnse
to the survey, a widespread pro-
motional campaign is being
planned by the local tuber-
culosis association and civic
clubs.
After conclusion Of the sur
vey, X-ray followup of the cases
found will be conducted through
the chest X-ray clinic located in
the health department and sup
ported by the local tuberculosis
association. Miss Lucy L. Nash,
executive secretary, has dis
closed.
The clinic, which has taken
$500 free chest X-ray pictures
in the two years of it's existence,
will be able to discontinue some
of the routine X-raying done un-
der the present program, but
necessary follow-ups of patients
found in the survey will mean
an increased number of X-rays
will be made through the per-
manent clinic, Miss Nash
explained.

These controls, operated by

portation, also expire Feb.

S. Authorize measures
which will induce the mar
keting of livestock and poul-
try at weights and grades
that represent the most ef-
ficient use of grain. This is
a new form of voluntary
conservation developm n t
largely since the President
set up the Luckman citi-
zens' food committee.
6. Legislation to enable
the Department of Agricul-
ture to expand its program
of encoura aging conservation
practices, and to authorize
measures designed to in
crease the production of
foods in foreign countries.
7. Authorize ALLEGATION
and inventory control Of
scarce commodities which
basically affect the cost of
living or industrial produc-
ton. The President put
special emphasis on grain
and steel. =,
8. Extend and strengthen
rent control. This law,
amended at the last session
of Congress to permit "volun
tary" Is per cent rent rises
throughout the country. ex-
pires March l. The Presi-
dent told Congress that it
contains ''w e a k nesses"
which he said are imposing
IAN intolerable drain upon
the family budget
9. Authorize consumer ra-
tioning on scarce products
which basically affect the
cost of living. The Presi-
dent said he wanted this au-
thority only as a "prepared-
ness measure" and that he
believed a fair distribution
of scarce commodities
could be accomplished at
consumer levels without re-
sorting to rationing.
10. Authorize price cell
ings on scarce products
which basically affect the
cost of living or industrial
production, and to authorize
such wage ceilings as are
essential to maintain the
necessary price ceilings.
Here again, Mr.. Truman
spoke of the preparedness
features of the program,
and said he wanted to set
up the authority now to
have it ready in case it is
needed. He said he was con-
fident that if the cost of iv-
ing could be brought into
line with average incomes,
wages could be adjusted
through collective bargain
ing without "an inflationary
round of wage increases.

ment can continue beyond three
