JUDGE STEVENS EMPHASIZES
HIGHWAY SAFETY IN CHARGE
TO DARE COUNTY GRAND JURY
Expresses Pleasure on Returning to the DELIGHTFUL
Scenes OF Dare County, Recognizes Several
Old Friends, and Comments on Laroer Jail
and Courthouse Offices.

Judge Henry L. Stevens Jr. of
Warsaw returned to Dare County
Monday after an absence of five
years, and in his charge to the
Grand Jury, dwelt long on his
love of the beauty and interest in
the coastland, dating from his first
visit some 20 years ago, when he
became a judge. He recognized
several of his long time friends.
and gave charge one hour long
on the responsibilities of the
Grand Jury.
Judge Stevens, former Nation
al Commander of the American
Legion is an orator of wide re-
nown, and toward the end of his
charge, he dwelt at length on the
Importance of highway safety, and
the effort that should come from
all good citizens to end the
slaughter and damage on our
roads. He gave strong warning to
persons who perjure themselves on
the witness stand, saying they
would find no mercy in his court.
Before the opening of court at
10 am. Judge Stevens had been
shown by county officers through.
the new jail, and recently repainted
county offices, and he compliment
ed those responsible for providing
and keeping these facilities in good
shape. He mentioned also that the
next improvement for this new
property would be installation of
a modern acknowledging system
for the comfort of people who
work in the courthouse, and as
being as important in summer to
keep the place cool as is fuel and
heat in winter to keep it warm.
Judge Stevens mentioned that
several complaints had come to
him about how the county was be-
ing run, but since this is an cleo
ton time, he had no desire to en-
barass anyone, and he thought
such complaints would better be
brought up at the next term of
court, so therefore, he would tear
up such complaints at this time,
and leave the subject off for the
next term.
