Case Dropped The state did not prosecute the case against Bruce L. Goodwin, charged with embezzlement. Mr. Goodwin refunded In February 1957 the money he allegedly "em bezzled", a down payment on a house. The court ruled no grounds for a suit in the case against Richard P. Jolliff Jr., charged with drunken driving. The state decided not to prose cute cases against C. J. Jackson, resisting arrest; Harvey D. Lewis, assault and drunk and disorderly; Ernest L. Eubanks, driving drunk; F. M. Tomkowski, driving drunk. In another case against Tom kowski and the Tri- County Bonding Co., a $150 bond was ordered for feited because Tomkowski- failed to appear to answer to the drunk driv ing charge in the April term of court. The state dropped cases against Eddie Lee Howel, charged with careless and reckless driving; Eu gene Hessee, forcible trespass, and Sam Green Jr., assault. Found Not Guilty Two persons, Stanley M.

Among the true bills returned were Dave Gaskill, Mary Gaskill Harvey and James Harvey, charged with arson, and Carlton Pittinan, charged with forgery. ? Ill ? t III 1 ? I ? to nfcce Mm Carriage counselling warkf A. Counselling urvicci (we call it casework services or aoelal work) is seldom given by itself. These services are around prob lems for which <Jte welfare depart ment has legal responsibility such as truancy, juvenile delinquency, financial need, etc. To cut out the casework services would be to stop our efforts tc improve the situa tions that bring on the problems. 1 believe we could eventually re duce the cost of public welfare by increasing casework services. Un fortunately It is impossible to add up on the adding maehlne the fi nancial savings viien a child grows into a better citizen because his parents received casework ser vices. But I think you can see there Is a savings when I tell you that one child supported entirely from Aid to Dependent Children funds since he was I years old and his father became disabled was in the top tenth uf his class in college this year. Another child has learned to read and write this year after public school gave up on him. His parents were helped to understand through casework services that his difficulties were partially caused by their attitudes. If Carteret County had a Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court with its own social workers, and if the schools had their own truancy offi cers, the welfare department's casework services would be great ly reduced. As it is, we try hard to fulfill our legal obligations and to meet the needs presented to us. We know that we are really just scratching the surface.
