Amendment on JP Courts
Charlotte Observer

A carefully drawn set of proposals
to improve the courts Of North Carolina,
including the justice of the peace courts,
now awaits the attention of the Cen
eral Assembly.
And constitutional amendment
that will make the justice of the peace
situation even worse than it now is
awaits the attention of the voters.
When they vote in the general cleo
tion on November 4, North Carolinians
will pass on an amendment to expand
the jurisdiction of justices of the peace
in certain cases.
The amendment would increase from
$50 to 5000 the jurisdiction of JP courts
in claim and delivery proceedings again
st personal property, mortgage-secured,
where payment is in arrears.
That is a rather small thing of it.
self. The important thing is that there
would be no change in the JP system
along with the change in its jurisdic-
tion.
1t would be the same old indefen-
sible set-up with its authority expand
ed There would be no safeguards again
st continued abuses, no change in the
fee system by which JP judgments
determine the state of JP pocketbooks.
Even the magistrates themselves
have admitted, at long last, that their
system needs basic reform. No such
reform is envisioned in the amendment
of November A.
Should the people approve the
amendment, the approval would no
doubt be interpreted as satisfaction
with the whole system as it now ex-
lists. 1t would make even harder the
task of the Bar Association in improv-
ing the entire court structure.
The Bar committee headed by J.
Spencer Bell of Charlotte has recon-
mended system of district trial courts
below the Superior Court level. 1t has
recommended also that at least one

came the first judge to preside over a court in
that county. Illustrated with two-column picture of
Judge Stafford on the bench, it says in part:
Mrs. Stafford took the bench in Municipal Court
when City Judge Bob Johnson became ILL., The City's
first lady Judge said, would like to continue as
Judge whenever the opportunity presents itself but
can't fall behind in my other work. She is the Legal
Aid Society's attorney. n
Asked if it was firing to sit as a judge Mrs Stat
ford commented Everything worth doing is tiring'
One officer who brought before the lady
Judge commented She's very capable Judge She tries
to get all the facts in the case but doesn't hesitate to
pass sentence"
It's all right to say boys will be boys and let them
have their fun But the Wake Forest student dressed
as deacon at last Saturdays game too much even
for other boys the students in the Carolina stands
With So bands including 5000 high school musicians
staging impressive haftime performance the dea-
con took his stand in front of the conductor and beside
some little high school majorettes and pretended he
was the conductor. This may not sound bad The
trouble was his baton plumbers plunger and some
OF his gestures too obscene to be described here
To the relief of all, group of Carolina student&
finally came down out of the stands and confiscated
his plunger, placed him the cheereeaders' platform
and gave him good talking to- Evidently they instruct
ed him to return to the Wake Forest side of the field
and stay there for the rest of the game That's what
ne did He looked considerably subdued as he walked
back across the empty field baton with head bent

Here's sudden thought: Wonder how much courage
had to be summoned by the fellow who ate the first
raw oyster?
That reminds me that of late everybody has been
doing reinisence piece, and since firecrackers are
unlawful of my recolections may be helpful to the
chaps preparing to celebrate Halloween.
We used to get Karo syrup bucket, the kind that
the lid fit securely on punched hole in the bottom
put carbide inside and spat it. Then the lid was
replaced and finger put the bottom hole to keep
the gas from escaping match was lighted our finger
removed and the fire applied at the hole, ignng the
gas.
There was tremendous report-good as any fire..
cracker-and anyone who stood in front of the thing
liable to get hit with flying lid You could use
the carbide and till it lost its strength Or
your mouth dry of saliva.
was doing that about the same time shot another
little fellow in the fanny with BIB gun after encourag
ing him to bend and pick up object had steal
thily placed in an appropriate spot
Also about then decided wanted to be a preacher
when grew up, Dad built pulpit The only time
could get anyone to listen to when the adults
around the house sat down to play Rook. SO, while
they played cards, prayed and preached.
Dad also made me scooter, several of them, in
fact He was a foundryman molder The base was
Of aluminium which attached the front and rear
wheels Of skate 1t really rolled And I've still got
it for Billy Jr. and Annis Lillian to learn to ride.
He also made the first meat tenderizer | ever
AS recall, it iron gadget about the shape
OF hammer with head full of spikes can hear the
noise yet of him using it to beat tough round steak
into tenderness.
There were times that was beaten, too pair Of
spankngs remember to this day One was for crawling
under the bed hiding and not answering when he call
ed. That one applied with a hair brush.
The other was for buying penny prize boxes at the
grocery store. That one was applied with the
hand in front of the house while my friends watched
SO reformed. | quit buying prize boxes and start
ed playing marbles for keeps. That phase of my life
ended when Mother and Dad closed my charge account
at the corner store.
Then began saving cigar bands. haunted every
cigar stand in Charlotte a knew the features of
gutter throughout my Ht OF the city. Usually the
bands in the gutter wer9 ther wet filthy but they
good to throw in OF trade with some other kid
for valuable band didn't have. Wonder where germs
were back in those days?
Some other time I'll tell you more, probably about
the day was passing for half fare on the train to
Atlanta because of my size, and the conductor came
through and caught playing Setback with my uncles
And beating them The conductor made them pay full
fare for me.
The World Series interrupted one day so the
razors, shaving and fountain pens could be
ed from Milwaukee to New York.
