PJLOB TWO Interesting N< Reported F By M. K. DlNNAUAiV (Special Writer for The Democrat) Raleigh, N. C.--A 200-man CCC camp has been authorized to be established at Fort Macon, near Morehead City and Beaufort, opening on April 1 and continuing" for six. months for the purpose of restoring old Fort Maccn and completing the 3 3-4 mile road along the sand bar to the causeway to Atlantic Beach. R. Bruce Etheridge, director of Conservation and! Development, has been advised. The Fort Macon site is historic, having beet) mentioned as a fort site in the 1700s, and the present fort building was erected about IOC years ago. lite 4.10-acre tract was deeded by the Federal government to the State in 1024. with the proviso that it be a jierpetual state park. Located on the end of a sand bar. it has been accessible only from water, at the mouth of Bogue Scuild and near a break in the sand bank connecting the sound and harbor with the ocean Educators Visit in Washington Dr. A T. A lieu. State superintendent of public instruction and J ale B. Warren, secretary of the N. C. Edu cation Association, spent a few days last week in Washington in the inter est of the Federal fund for education, first as an emergency, and then , as a permanent policy for the future, j They report that progress apparently is being made, but will not predict the results. Dr. B. B. Dougherty. Boone, member of the State School Commission. and LeRoy Martin its secretary, also! I visited Washington last week in their' j effort to get a grant of 30 per cent' J toward purchase of about $100,000 i worth of school busses. They may i succeed in getting this grant, but it r will be harder to get it for the ehas- I sts of the trucks than it will for the it bodies, on the ground that supplying < the bodies will put that many more j ( men to work making bodies. The j > emergency units are making such .= grants. If the grant of 5125,000 is' < allowed, the State, which has to ffijy:' the trucks anyway, would supply. about 5275,000, a total of about -?4.- , 000,000. Recorder's Courts May Handle Manslaughter Cases "Involuntary manslaughter," or killing a person in an automobile or other accident without intention of so doing, is classed a migdeencanor and may be tried in the usual recorder's court, which have final jurisdiction over misdemesr.org, as a result of the amendment to the law as amended in 1933, it is held in an opinion hy Assistant District Attorney j A. A P. Sea well The 1933 amend-! ment provides that punishment for I involuntary manslaughter shall be in i the discretion of the court and may 1 be a fine or imprisonment, 01- both.
