Plans drawn by Mr. R. H. Stev
ens, architect, are s-till tentative
but call for a $5,000 Club House to
be erected on the town donated
site on Pollock Street just south
of the Carteret Library. Plans will
meet the needs of both Boy Scouts

ted for the approval of leaders of
both groups.
The committee is already at

ing the full amount required by
the middle of the month.
Sunday afternoon the USO will
honor Girl Scouts on the occasion
of their 32nd birthday the
scouts are not 32, but the organi

Judge Webb Has
Busiest Tuesday
For Some Months
Tuesday Court drew a crowd
that suggested a session of Super
ior Court and was in session until
four o'clock. There were few col
ored anions spectators, and, with
one exception, all cases on the dock
et involved white offenders.
The hearing of Harvey Lewis
(white, Morehead City) charged
by Charlie Rose (white, More
head City) with forcible trespass,
drunkenness, and disorderly con
duct occupied the entire morning.
Both men had counsel.
The Rose family was very much
wrought up emotionally, voices
were high, there was much gesti
culating, and considerable acri
mony entered into the testimony.
The case got off to a bad start be
cause of unusual terminology used
by Rose: his "living room m his
"dining room; his "sitting room
is something else. It took a littlo
while for others to adjust to this
nomenclature and everytime he
had to explain it, spectators laugh
ed, and the Court had to call for
order. Finally Rose got sore,
shouted, 'I shant tell you no more.
Let me draw a map." Trial was
held up while he mapped his five
room house showing "a sitting
room" for company; " a living
room" for eating.
Both men had pasts in which
were many ore spots which they
resented having brought up and
rbout which they were not very
Accessible but which 2.Vleli-
a matter oi vecoiMV - i.
It was clear that although Hit
vey sober might be all right, when
Mrs. Rose called to her family
"Yonder comes Harvey drunk,"
there was considerable consterna
tion on the part of the Rose fam
ily. Whether Harvey kicked the
panel of the door out or not as
wns alleged was not fully establish
ed, but it was established that
something happened and that Har
vey entered in hostile manner and
uninvited, and the Judge found
him guilty on the trespass charge.
He was given 90 days sentence
suspended on condition he not
trespass or molest the Rose'3 for
a period of 5 years and pay costs
of $25.75.
The colored case was Carney
Chadwick charged with taking
clothes of Nancy Debrix. He made
restitution of the property, and
the Judge continued prayer for
judgment upon payment of costs.
Daniel Wheelton, white, charg
ed with larceny of goods valued at
over $100 waived examination and
was held for Superior Court under
a $400 bond.
Case of James Garland Willis,
charged with assault, was contin
ued from last week and was eain
continued until Friday morning be
