COUNTY NEGRO
CHARGED WITH
18th CRIME

CHADBOURN, Nov. 20-Wal-
ter Emmons today faced another
charge of bootlegging.
The Chadbourn Negro, whom
Judge w. I. Halstead gave so
days to leave the county and
State, was placed in Jail to await
an appearance in Recorders
Court in Whiteville tomorrow.
Two sheriff's deputies and two
Chadbourn policemen raided the
Emmons place of business Sat
urday and reported finding
eight cans of beer and two half.
pints of bonded whiskey. They
charged him with possession for
purpose of sale.
This was not a new charge
for the dusky Chadbourn man.
Previous to the Punishment case
in late October, he had been &C.
cused of liquor dealings exactly
16 times. The charges ranged
from possession and transport
ing to selling and manufacture
ing.
Judge Halstead, at the October
term, followed the pattern of
previous judgements in all ex'
cept three of the ten times he
had been convicted by suspend
ing a two.year sentence on the
roads on condition that Emmons
leave the county. Under the
terms of Halstead's judgment.
he would have been required to
leave the State shortly after
Christmas this year.
Officers S. P. Saunders and
Garland Mobiles of the local po-
lice force and Sheriff's Deputies
C. B. Martin and Bill Rogers
made the search which they said
Welded the beer and whiskey.
Mayor L. C. Bonkemeyer, be-
fore whom the search warrant
was sworn out, said he would de-
mand $4,000 bond if Emmons
sought his release from Jail.
If the new charges stand up
in court, Emmons faces two
wears on the roads through re-
! vocation of the suspended sent
ence plus any additional time
which may be given for posses
sion of intoxicating beverages
while on probation.
The records show that tomor-
rows appearance in court will
make the twenty-fourth time he
has been in the tolls of the law.
Escape, paddock proceedings
against him as proprietor of
cafe, and larceny were the three
cases in which he was not charg-
ed with either possessing, trans
porting, selling or manufactur'
ing whiskey.
Three times he was found not
guilty and a mol pros was taken
in two cases.

ed by Federal authorities who

These records show that 551
slot machines are in operation

operated in the beach counties of

ABSURD BASIS FOR PEACE

Secretary of State Dean Acheson, for whom we en- certain considerable respect says that we cannot have the kind of peace want while there vast areas where people are in rebellion against hunger poverty and iliteracy."
 This is stock argument advanced by the profession al dogooders but it is utterly faacous Hunger pow erty and lliteracy have not yet been abolished in the United States and it is utterly absurd to think that they will be abolished throughout the world in the of the next thousand years, or two.
 To believe that the peace of the world depends upon the creation of such ideal state of affairs that there will be hunger poverty iteracy is to resign one self to hopeless state of warfare Nor does it follow that if these three enemies of mankind completely eliminated the peace of the world will be assured The facts of history reveal that have developed among the nations of the earth which most nearly had abol ished hunger, poverty and iliteracy.
 Consequently, in opinion, it is decided mistake for those who seek to promote the of the world to argue that poverty hunger and iteracy must be abol ished Why not include disease work and the suffering of man, physical and spiritual?

.Highlights Of
 Girl Scout Camp

Nineteen Senior and Senior In- termediate Scouts camped at Dex- ter the first week and fifteen Jun for Intermediate Scouts the sec ond week. All Scouts had such an enjoyable time that they were wishing they could stay longer than their allotted week.
 A scheduled program was fol- lowed, which eliminated any waste of time and kept everyone busy. The girls were divided into patrols of two or three girls and were assigned each day to different kapers. The seven camp kapers were cooks, hostesses, clean-ups, housekeepers, water carriers, wood-men and the rest patrol.
 The morning classes were de- voted to Second Class Require ments and Dyamatics. Miss Bonnie Anne Dunbar instructed the dra- matics group the first week and Dorothea Hudert and Karen Fricke assisted the second week. A number of skits were presented at the Campfires and a panto- mime was also shown to the guests Thursday evenings.
 The afternoon class was Handi- craft and Miss Ilene Harwood was the instructor. Each girl complet- ed belt, coin purse and comb case.
 After Handicraft came Recrea- ton time when the girls would flock to the river and swim. At first it was hard to muster cour- age for that icy water, but grad ually the girls became used to it and it felt lukewarm! Imagine!!
 Two hikes were enjoyed both weeks. On the first hike the girls walked toward Osborne along the ditch; on the way flowers were gathered for nature study and the various birds observed. The climax of the hike was wiener roast
 Saturday was Breakfast Hike at which time the girls hiked down the road to Carolyn Glavin- ovich's home where they cooked their own breakfast of bacon and eggs over an outdoor fire. Mrs. Glavinovich treated the girls to iced coffee cake rings. Umm!
 Several evenings at camp, the girls played baseball or Andy Over," after which they enjoyed a campfire at which time skits were presented, stories told,
The Nome nugget., 1950-07-10

games played, or songs sung. Bedtime was climaxed with the telling of ghost stories. The Green Man" ghost stories topped them all; even the story tellers were frightened one evening at their own stories when the doors unexpectedly opened and in walk ed-the leaders!
 Miss Uttick spoke to the first weeks camp on the work of the Public Welfare Bureau, which gave a verdict toward the Com munity Badge.
 The second week Mrs. Mozee gave first aid instruction two eve nings, also supplied the camps first ali dkit with some necessary supplies.
 The Brownies visited camp the last Thursday and really enjoyed themselves. Larry Calvin brought them early in the morning and took them home the same eve- ming. He also brought special treat for the girls-potato chips and oranges!
 Quite a number of nice dona- tions were given the campers and the girls wish to thank all the donors. Mrs. William Angell, nene Harwood and Mrs. Weaver treat ed with ice cream on different oc- casions;Mrs. Jimmy Walsh and Mrs. Harwood donated cookies; Mir. McNees sent out 2 cases of soda and Mrs. Swanberg, pop sickles.
 Ted Duffield surprised the camp with several fish which the girls enjoyed for an evening meal.
 In camp this year the. girls bought new sink, which the Boy Scouts installed under the super vision of MT. Fults.
 Other acknowledgements and thanks go to MT. Hank Miller, MT. Swanberg and MT. Green for their services to the camp, also to the Base for supplying the transpor- tation.
 The Girl Scout committees also worked hard, particularly; the menu and food supply committee, of which Mrs. Urick was chair man. The Dunbars deserve thanks also for bringing out so many gro- cery orders.
 MT. Ben Hyndman and MT. Don Lyle earned the everlasting grati- tude of the girls and the cooks, for fixing the kitchen stove, as well as the bunkhouse stove Special thanks go to Mrs. Eigme, camp nurse; Mrs. Gallagher, who kept the camp going smoothly and Mrs. Hirschberg for preparing such delicious meals.
 This year the girls did not have to carry water from the creek through the courtesy of the Pio- need Water Go. and Bronson Wa ter Service, who brought out a water tank and kept it full. They appreciated this luxury of plenty of water.
