A call was put through to
the Police Station BY Ira
Sheen who told Patrolman,
Hoyer that the building at Is
Princess Street was on fire.
Immediately the siren was
sounded but by that time, S
O'Clock, the building was en-
veloped in flames. AS the Sc
veral hundred persons began
to gather neighbors said that
the mother passed up the
street screaming that the two
boys we're still in the house.
Sergeant Archibald Davis,
who was in charge of the in
vestigation said that Joseph
Simmonds was among the
to reach the building and
without knowledge that the
two boys were there never
less, tried to enter to give what
ever help he could. Water
was poured on him to help in
resisting the heat, but as he
entered the building smoke
and the intense heat drove
him back.
Patrolman Hoyer had OBJ
served Ursula at about ESQ
with another girl companion
and questioned their reason
for being on the street at that
hour; she told him that they
were gong to q dance. He
also met 4 young man carry
ing a guitar and other para
phanelia and questioned him.
He told the officer that he
, 1954-09-18

had an argument with his
girl friend and she ordered
him out of the house and he
went for his belongings. Pa
|trolman Gaines was alerted
and later saw the two young
women and the man together.
That was at around 4 am.
Almost everyone Of the es-
|timated two thousand persons
who gathered and helplessIy
watched the flames devour
the building, kept asking the
one question: Are those two
little boys in the building?
No one could answer; one
girl suggested that they were
probably with their grand
mother; but no one could
find the grandmother. Then
dawn came; the fire was now
under control and a search
began. The remains Of the
boys were still on the bed;
burned beyond recognition
Superintendent of Public
Works Alfonso Paraliticci and
Assistant Superintendent Al
bert Nelthropp were on hand
with their volunteer firemen;
they not only got there in a
reasonably short time after
the siren blew but good team
work got the hose working
a hitch and the
crowd cooperated. On hand
too were Administrative As
sistant Albert Fabio and AS

Red China Will Send
Charge d'Affaires 10
Start London Mission
BY the Asseeioied Press

Il
LONDON, June 17.-Red
China has decided to send q
charge d'affaires to Britain to
work for the establishment Of
full diplomatic relations between
the two countries. Peiping radio
announced today.
The radio, quoting a Peiping
dispatch of the New China News
Agency. said:
THE Central Peoples govern
ment Of the Peoples Republic
of China and the British govern
ment have agreed that the
Central Peoples government
should send a charge d'affaires
to London and have the same
duties as the British charge DAFT
flares in Peiping."
BritOn Was Cold ShOuldered.
The envoy in charge of Brit
aims mission in Peiping is Sir
Humphrey Trevelyan. He has
been trying to arrange for the
establishment Of full diplomatic
relations since he took the post
last year, but was repeatedly
cold shouldered by the Reds.
Britain recognized the regime
of Mao Tze-tung in 1850. The
Laborite government of Clement
Attlee sent out a diplomatic
at that time. but the
Chinese Communists have not
accorded it full recognition or
sent a mission of its own here.
When the Geneva Asian Con-
ference opened in April Foreign
Secretary Anthony Eden sum-
rloned Trevelyan from Peiping
and took him along to the Swiss
city to try to get British-Chi-
nese relations properly estab-
lished. Mr.. Eden personally took
UP the matter with Chinese
remier-Foreign Minister Chou
En-lai in Geneva.
The British Chinese agree
ment, as announced by the
Peiping radio. clearly opens the
way for a later exchange of full
ambassadors heading large dip
lomatic missions.
Seeking Trade Boost.
Both countries are looking for
ways of boosting trade.
A Chinese mission is expected
here shortly to discuss ways of
widening business arrangements.
They were invited by private
British commercial and indus
trial groups with the full knowl-
edge of Prime Minister Churchill'S
government.
The Chinese also have made
a number Of minor confessions
recently to British businessmen
living and working in their ter
ritory. They have granted exit
permits to several of them, en-

abling them to leave China for
the first time in years.
The British Labor Party de-
cided May 26 to send ex-Prime
Minister Attlee and seven other
top leaders to Communist China
for a four week visit in August
to promote British Chinese
friendship.
Britain Is the only Of the
big Western powers recognizing
the Chinese Communist govern
ment. This has been a source
of irritation between this coun-
try and the United States about
Far Eastern policies.

MORTGAGES

The word mortgage" has a de-
finite meaning for almost every
one. The law concerning mort
cages is continually growing in
response to changing uses made
OF this device. This discussion will
deal solely with mortgages on real
estate, although many of the prin-
ciples discussed apply equally to
mortgages on personal property,
or "chattel mortgages" as they
are known.
A mortgage has been defined as
any form of instrument whereby
title to real estate is reserved or
conveyed as security for the pay
ment of debt or the fulfillment
OF other obligation. Thus, a mort
gage can be used as security for
the performance of the conditions
of a bond or other agreement.
However, the most frequent use
made of the mortgage is to secure
the repayment Of a loan of money
made to the borrower, or mortgag-
or. His obligation to repay the
loan is usually contained in a note
or notes, which are separate from
the mortgage. The mortgage itself
refers to the note or notes execut-
ed by the borrower, and states
that the title to the property has
been conveyed to the lender or
Tabor City tribune. (Tabor City, N.C.) 1946-1991, 1954-05-12

sale set out in the mortgage itself.
The second of these two proceed
ures is the one usually employed.
The requirements of foreclosure
under sale must be advertised for
at least 80 days by posting a no.
tice of sale at the courthouse and
by newspaper advertisement. the
actual foreclosure sale is held at
the courthouse and is in the form
of a public auction, unless the
court order or notice of sale pro-
vides otherwise.
At the sale, the property is sold
to the highest bidder. The Dor
rover can, of course, bid at the
sale. The sale does not become
final until ten days have elapsed,
during which time the bid NAV
be raised. Upon the filing of a
raise of bid, the property must be
rcadvertiScd and reSold at public
auction. This procedure may be
repeated as often as raises of bid
are filed on the property. At any
time prior to the final expiration
of time for raise of bid. the bor-
rover can stop the foreclosure
proceeding by paying off the debt.
plus accrued costs.
Deficiency Judgments
What can the lender do if the
property fails to bring price
sufficient to pay off the indebted
ness? Subject to one important
exception noted below, the lender
can sue the borrower and obtain
judgment requiring him to ray
the difference between the mort
gage debt and the amount realized
from the foreclosure sale. Such a
judgement is spoken of as a de
ficiency judgment"
Under North Carolina law a
lender cannot bring suit for a de-
ficiency judgment whore the mort
gage was originally given TO secure
the payment of the balance due
upon the purchase price of real
estate. In other words. tho lcndor
must rely solely upon tho re-
estate to recover the balance due
upon purchase money mortgage.
This rule of law was enacted dur
ing the depression of the 1905.
Transfer Of Mortgaged Proper
transfer the property without paw
ing off the debt? Ordinarily, the
borrower can sell or otherwise
Can the borrower on real estate
dispose of the property as he sees
fit, leaving the mortgage deebt I'M
affected. The new owner of the
property must, of course. keep up
the payments on the mortgage
The holder of the note secured by
the mortgage must accent paw
ments of the debt from teh new
owner of the property.
If the new owner of the mort
gagged real estate defaults in his
payments, can the original borrow
er still be forced to make these
payment? AS a practical matter
the question seldom arises. The
holder of the debt ordinarily de-
Ponds only on the real estate fo,
payment. AS a matter of law. h,
is required first of all TO foreclose

against the real estate. II the mort
gage. as shown on its face. was
originally purchase money
mortgage" then, as noted above,
the land alone must stand for the
debt. The fact that the origina!
borrower has transferred his in
terest to another does not alter
this fact. If the mortgage was not
originally purchase money
mortgage" the borrower can be
required to make up any defincen-
cy of the mortgage debt after
foreclosure. Any subsequent own
er Of the real estate, who espresso
ly agreed to pay the debt, can like
wise be required to make up any
deficiency.
Paying off the Mortgage
Tho usual method of distressing of
mortgage debt is. of cor'~Se. by
payment in full. At the time of
payment the mortgage or deed of
trust, and the accompanying notes,
should be marked satisfied and
paid in full by the holder of the
debt, and should be presented to
the Register of Deeds for cancella-
ton. Failure to have the rapers
promptly presented for cancella-
ton may give rise to trouble later,
should the original papers be mis-
placed.
Tabor City tribune. (Tabor City, N.C.) 1946-1991, 1954-05-12

cluded in the mortgage. Secondly,
the property conveyed as security
must be described sufficiently to
permit its Identification. Thirdly,
the mortgage must state that the
conveyance is conditional upon the
payment Of a certain sum, or the
fulfillment Of certain conditions.
Finally, mortgage should be re-
corded in the Register of Deeds
office in order to give all persons
notice OF its existence and TO
establish its priority. Failure OF
a mortgage to meet these require
ments ordinarily renders it invalid
and unenforceable.
Foreclosure
So long as the borrower meets
the payments on the mortgage, the
lander cannot foreclose.
Upon the failure of the borrow
er to comply with the terms of the
mortgage, the lender has the right
to foreclose on the property. De-
fault in meeting the terms of pay
ment is the main cause Of fore
closure. However, the mortgagor
may have failed to perform other
conditions Of the mortgage, such
as the payment of taxes on the
property.
Most mortgages for the payment
of money in installments contain
what is known as an "acceleration
clause" This clause provides that,
upon default in making any pay
ment under the mortgage has an
option to declare the full unpaid
balance of the indebtedness due,
and to foreclose for the payment
Of this entire balance.
Foreclosure may be accomplish
ed in either of two principal ways;

suit; (2) Through the power OF

mortgage. who may, under CEN
tain conditions, enforce the pay
ment OF the note or notes through
the foreclosure Of the mortgage
and the sale of the property.
Deeds OF Trust
In North Carolina, the term
mortgage" is commonly used to
include. in addition to the conven-
tional mortgage, another paper
known as a deed OF trust" In
stead Of being a two-party instru-
ment like the mortgage, the deed
OF trust is a three-party paper.
The borrower in this type of in
strument conveys the title to his
property to trustee to seecur ethe
repayment of his note or notex
to the lender The trustee has no
direct interest in the security; he
merely holds the legal title to the
property SO long as the deed Of
trust is outstanding. II is his duty
to foreclose the deed of trust if
a default occurs and il the lender
demands foreclosure. For purposes
of this article the term mortgage"
will include deed of trust" as
well. except where indicated 9TH
erwise.
A mortgage must ordinarily meet
certain formal requisites. First of
all, it must be properly signed by
the owners of the real estate in
