GRAND JURORS TO
» MAKE BUS INSPECT'N
ALL OVER COUNTY
Halifax, X. C.
October 27, 1937
To the Hon. \V. H. S. Burgwyn,
Special Judge Presiding
We, the Grand Jury for Halifax
County, beg to submit the following
report:
We have passed upon all bills
which have been brought to our at
tention to the best of our ability.
Owing to the fact that we found
all offices in the Courthouse in
such splendid condition upon our
last inspection at the August Term
of court, we did not deem it neces
sary to make such inspection at
this time. Also we did not inspect
the following for the same reason,
viz: Prison Camp, County Home,
Sanitorium and Jail.
l The Foreman has authorized
r members of the Grand Jury living
in various parts of the County to
make frequent inspections of school
buses in their territory, and they
have been instructed to report any
defects they may find at all times
and to see that they are corrected
immediately, and to report to the
Grand Jury in session at the next
term of Court. We believe this to
be a more effective method of in
spection than merely making a hur
ried inspection when court is in
session.
We, the members of the Grand
Jury, wish to express our deepest
sympathy to the family of the late
Mr. L. W. Gupton, a former mem
ber of our body, who departed this
life on October 26, 1937. We need
hardly say that we shall miss Mr.
Gupton’s presence in the future
during our term of service to Hali
fax County.
I Respectfully submitted,
I C. T. Johnson, Foreman
Grand Jury.

reports were heard from the follow

librarian, reported 10 books read
during the month. Mrs. Frank

credit received if all reports are in
on time. She also urged that all

Mrs. Wheeler’s lesson on “House
hold Linens” was interesting. She
used for her lesson in the demon
stration several different types,
quality and colors for table cloths,
towels, etc. Stressing the point
that colors in table cloths were an
aid to more cheerful meals but on
ly used for breakfast or luncheons,
to always use white for dinners or
for any special event such as ban
quets, etc. Mrs. Wheeler also add
ed a bit to her lesson by giving
some very good points on how to
set a table properly and the best
method to use in serving when one
has special guests for dinner and
does not have the necessary maid
to serve the meal in cources or
from another table.
Many pieces of useful articles
were brought and given to Mrs.
Carl Gibson, Health Chairman, to
be put into the club health kit
