Three officers f'om Hyde County

SCHOOLS AIDED
BY ENFORCEMENT
OF TRAFFIC LAWS
Dare County Got $37.2ss.5o In
-Four Years Ending June 3oth.
From Fines and Forfeitures

Figures compiled from county
audits of the past four years shows
the Dare County school funds were
benefited to the tune of $37, 288.5O
collected in fines and forfeitures
just about all of it from traffic
violators, the cases having been
brought into the local courts by
State Highway patrolmen.
During each of the past two
years, the mount annually
paid the school fund fro m
this source has been in ex-
cess of $4,000. This is an
amount about equal to salaries
paid by the county to Sheriff's
deputies, who in return bring in
court practically no cases which
seems odd indeed in view of the
representation made that these Of
ficers are badly needed at so great
cost to the taxpayers. Apparently,
offenses against the peace are not
so great as are represented, based
on activities of county officers. Or
are some communities seeing a lot
of violations when they cry so
loudly for police officers at public
expense, or are they merely trying
to make jobs for friends?
The more than $4,000 a year
coming to the schools during each
of the past two years, is more than
double the amount received in 1856
before Commissioner Ed Schiedt's
campaign for highway safety be-
ban to bear fruit. The appalling
number of deaths in the state had
driven the department to action.
So in Dare County too, the sew
eral highway patrolmen stationed
in the county during the two sum-
mer months when the Lost Colony
is shown, were ordered to expand
their scope of activities beyond the
Lost Colony area. Likewise. fol

I'M DEATH OF WOMAN
SET FRIDAY NIGHT
Solicitor cohoon Expected In
Manfeo For Hearing About
Mrs. Grace Wards Death

An inquest will probably be
held at the courthouse in Manteo
on Friday evening February Is to
hear evidence before a coroners
jury in connection with the death
of Mrs. Grace Gaskill Ward who
was found dead in her home near
Manteo, Friday of last week.
Coroner James M. Vannote, af-
ter being called to the scene and
finding no testimony of witnesses
to the death nor satisfactory evil
dence has followed legal procedure
and summoned the following jur-
ors to hear the evidence at the in
guest: w. M. Jolliff, Charlie E.
O'Neal, Adrian Ayers, J. o. Bas-
night, Selden Midget, and H. O..
Bridges.
The delay in the time of inquest
is reported as due to the need for
the presence of Solicitor Walter
Cohoon of Elizabeth City who is re-
quired to conduct the investigation.
Sheriff Frank Cahoon, who was
called to the scene Immediately
sent for Agent Edwards of the
State Bureau of Investigation and
turned the affair over to him
when he arrived next day. A %
Z calibre pistol from which numer-
Gus shots had been fired, was
found at the scene by Coroner
Vannote, and turned over to the
agent, but it apparently yielded
insufficient fingerprints to be of
value.
Mrs. Ward, 33, was the mother
of three small girls, two of whom
were in school for the day, and the
smallest being 5, was home view
ing TV, when the officers went to
the scene. The death was reported
by the husband John Ward, who
said he went home at lunch time
and not seeing his wife asked the
child who said she had not seen her
mother in long time.
The mother was found in the

Editors Note: During this Legislature, q
bill will be presented which will have as It's
purpose the Improvement Of the courts OF
this stofe. A committee Of eminent men
yeor. The following remarks in relation to
the project ore considered timely.
The duty of the courts of North
Carolina is ''to do equal and exact
justice to all men-rich and poor
alike" The accomplishment of
this end is fundamental to the
achievement of free and truly
democratic society.
Justice delayed for an unreas-
enable length of time is not equal
and exact justice to all men.
Winning lawsuits by technical
ity or surprise is not equal and
exact justice to all men.
Courts too expensive for the
poor man-do not grant equal and
exact justice to all men.
In a sparsely settled rural So
ciety life moves at a slow pace
and the machinery Of justice can
be very simple. Mems rights will
be protected if the judges have
ability and integrity. But as the
community develops an urban and
commercial character these judi
cial qualities, though always alb
solutely essential, are not enough.
The courts develop a business side
as well as a judicial Successes
pile up; they must be scheduled
so that there is no undue delay;
courts must be made available
where they are needed; expenses
must be kept at a minimum. The
worker who depends upon his
wages for his livelihood, the bus

quired in the management Of his
affairs, the professional man
