HOME FOR UNWED MOTHERS
NEEDS VARIOUS ARTICLES

The Salvation Army Home and
Hospital for Unwed Mothers,
which serves North and South
Carolina, is in need of single bed
spreads, writing paper, chairs for
a recreation room, baby clothes,
desk-style chairs for school work,
typewriters, soap, and toilet arti-
cies.
One hundred and forty-seven
expectant, unwed mothers from
the Carolinas and several other
states were cared for at the Home
and Hospital in Durham in 1857
The girls receive warm sympa-
thetic care, but they are not left
with the illusion they are on a
holiday from their jobs or studies
Both the mother and baby get
expert medical attention during
their stay at The Salvation Army
institution. Delivery of the child
is made in Durham at a nearby
university hospital. Through spir-
itual guidance and careful coun-
selling permanent injury to a girls
personality is avoided. APPROX
mately two-thirds of the girls
wish to have their baby adopted
and this is handled through Ii
censed child-placing agencies.
Any individuals, civic clubs OF
other organizations interested in
helping The Salvation Army Sc
cure some of the items mentioned
in this article should send mater
ial or letter to Major Ruby Mil.

COUNTY
REPORT
DAVID STICK
pore County Commissioner.
Atomic Township

To anyone making a careful
study of the financial condition OF
Dare County, two things are OBJ
vious:
First, large amounts of money
collected in past years for specific
budgeted county functions have
been spent for purposes and prof.
ects not included in the budget
and in many instances, not au-
thorized by law.
Second. a contributing factor to
this condition has been Dare Coun-
tvs Anticipated accounting system
under which the County Commits
sioners have been unable to tell I'M
til the end of fiscal year whether
they were spending over or under
the budgeted amount in any given
category.
Here is some background on this
situation.
The countrywide tax rate for
1853 is 80 cents on the 500. of
taxable valuation. On this basis, if
$4,000. is collected in given
month it should be distributed to
the following specific fund S
$1,000, School Fund; $1,000 Health
Fund; 5000, Debt Retirement;
$500, Welfare Fund; $500, Poor
Fund; $500, County Buildings and
Courts Fund; $500, Improvements
to Courthouse Fund.
This leaves a balance of $4,000.
or one-fourth of the total, for all
other general county expenses, in
Guiding the Sheriff's Department
jails and police stations, fire war
dens, libraries, Farm Agent, Clerk
of Court, Register of Deeds
County Commissioners, Coroner
and Accountant as we'll as any ex.
ira expenditures such as boat har.
bors, contributions and the like.
In addition, the county serves as
collecting agent for other specia
funds, including those of the Roa.
noke Island Fire District, Dare
Beaches Sanitary District, ane
Manteo and Kitty Hawk Schoo
Districts. This is not county mon.
ey, and by law it should be turned
over to the special funds as it is
collected.
In the past there seems to have
been little concern over the proper
distribution of this money as it has
been collected. Instead of the
School Fund, for example, getting
exactly $500. due it out of $4,000
collected, the practice seems t.
have been to turn over an ever
amount, say $1,000. or $4,000. Ant
as might be expected at the end Of
the average year some funds have
been overpaid while others have MOI
received what was due them.
AS far as the special funds are
concerned, the people who are re.
sponsible for managing these have
trouble finding out exactly how
their finances stand, and in the
case of the Roanoke Island Fire
District l understand sizeable
sum collected by the County from
the 1857 levy still had not beer
turned over to the proper agency

By JOSEPH B. BYRNES
Star Staf Writer

The time e-honored custom of
corridor conferences between
lawyer and client was dealt a
blow yesterday by the NUM-
cipal Court of Appeals.
The Appellate Court held
that justice was, if anything,
too swift in the case of John
T. Creed. 81, of the 4400 block
of Seminary road, Alexandria.
They reversed his conviction
for an indecent assault on an
Ohio high school girl last May.
The girl complained to police
that while she was here with
a clasSmate on a sightseeing
tour Mr.. Greed placed his hand
on her knee while they were
watching a movie at a down.
town theater.
Mr.. Greed was brought into
Municipal Court the next
morning and court-appointed
lawyer was assigned. The judge
instructed the lawyer to go
into the corridor and talk to
his client.
Continuance Denied
The reason for the speed-up
was predicated upon the fact
the girls were due to leave
within three hours for their
home.
Attorney Herbert Horowitz
argued he did not have time
to prepare a case properly. He
asked for a continuance. 1t was

Conviction Upset

denied. He retaliated by de-
manding a jury trial. Judge
Thomas C. Scalley referred the
case to Judge Andrew w. How
ard, sitting in jury court with
the recommendation the case
be heard Immediately.
Judge Howard refused a sec
ond continuance and conduct
ed trial. The jury found Mr..
Greed guilty and a $3.50 fine
or 80 days in Jail was imposed.
Judges Lee Rover. Thomas
Dewey Quinn and Nathan Cay
ton, sitting by designation, held
that Justice under such cir
cumstances can be too swift.
Not Unusual
They said no lawyer under
the circumstances could be ex-
pected to prepare a defense.
They held he was denied the
opportunity to consult properly
with his client and to investi-
gate the possibility of eye wit
neSses.
The fact that the girls
desired to leave town on the
afternoon of the trial was not
a sufficient reason to deny a
continuance, their opinion
stated.
Most court observers class
the Greed case as an extreme
example of the court corridor
conference practice. However.
they were hesitant to offer
opinions as to its effect in the
future.
In the past, whenever a
defendant appeared in court
without a lawyer, one was
appointed Immediately. He
generally was given instructions
to take his client into the
hallway for a chat.
If the lawyer thought he
had a chance, he demanded an
immediate trial, predieating
his case on the possibility the
Government was not fully pre-
pared. In most cases it was a
good gamble.
If he saw he might run into
difficulty he asked for a post
ponement. Generally it was
granted. -.
1t is these multitudes of post
ponements that slow up the
court docket and irk the
judges who are striving to
keep the calendar current.

Steak, Pizzo Style

If the beef craze has had
any competition in the last few
years, it surely has been the
fondneSs for Italian food. A
combination of the two seems
unlikely, but Gusti's, 1887 NJ
street NV. and sol Morse
street NE, has one.
It's called pizzaiola steak and
it goes something like this:
Saute garlic in olive oil to bring
out it's flavor, then take it out.
Add onions, canned tomatoes
orecooked mushrooms and greer
peppers, oregano and grated
cheese, and simmer. Broil OF
pan fry the steak separately
and then simmer it in the
sauce.
Gusti says beef is eaten this
way in Italy, although veal is
far more popular.

DEAR ABBY: A few years
back I had my portrait
painted as a present for my
husband. 1t was a beautiful
painting, but it didn't look
like me. My husband and I
were so disappointed in it
that we gave it to a neighbor
whom it reSembled slightly.
Now I am sorry I acted so
impulsively and I would like
to have the painting back.
We no longer live in the same
town, but we know from mu-
tual friends that the neigh
Dor to whom we gave the
portrait still lives there. How
should ! go about getting 1t
back? IMPULSIVE.
This will require some
skillful handling. Write a
warm and friendly letter to
your former neighbOr and
tell her that if she ever re-
arranges her home and wants
to "get rid" of that portrait,
you'd like to "buy" it from

Renowned Beverage
This particular recipe for
the renowned beverage comes
from the famed Antoine's in

Actually, it's so simple to
make, you can make it your
own family speciality for great
occasions.
There's almost sure to be
a brimming bowl Of eggnog
for your New Years open
house.
Incidentally, the name for
this drink came into use dur
ing Colonial days and stems
from the word noggin, a small
drinking vessel with an up
right handle.
As for recipes to make egg
nog, there must be as many
versions as there are people
who make it. Two recipes for
this rich concoction follow.
One uses only rum and
also suggests a short cut il
you're pressed for time.
The second recipe comes
from a gentleman in Chevy

receipts for eggnog are ut
terly unpalatable."
His letter goes on to read
"Most recipes use whisky a:
q base which in itself in
dicates that they do not trace
back to the Colonial era
when whisky was regarded
as q lowly, common drink
of no real quality and unfit
for Quality to drink"
