CLOSURE OF JUKE JOINTS REQUESTED Grand Jury Also Recom mends Pay Increase For City-County Police (Recommendation of the grand jury during the May term of court that proceedings be instituted tc require all beer parlors, piccolos and other similar establishments within the city and county, rated less than Grade B, during certain night hours and weekends, was renewed in the report submitted to Judge Everett Thompson, Tues day. The grand jury further recom mended that the county commis sion and city council give prompt consideration to the increase cf the pay rate for its law enforce ment officers to such and extent as may be found advisable under present conditions, and also au thorizing the employment of such additional officers as may be re quired to properly police the county and city areas. Judge Thompson commended the grand jury for its work and in structed the clerk to send a copy of the report to the Mayor, city man ager and county commission in the end that the recommendation might be complied with. ' The report reads, in part: “We recommended during the May term of court that the neces sary proceedings be instituted to require all beer parlors, piccolos, and other similar establishments within the city and county rated less than Grade B, to close every night at twelve U2:00) o’clock midnight and not to be reopened until six (6:00; o’clock, a. m., the following day and that all such establishments within the city and county be required to close at twelve (12:00) midnight every Sat urday and not be permitted to reopen until six (6:00) a. m. the following Monday. “Notwithstanding that recom mendation, it is our information that some of these establishments continue to remain open during late hours of the night: further, it is our observation that many of the criminal cases before us having their origin in or near these establishments. We believe that the closing of these questionable es tablishments at the hour recom mended would be a forward step in crime prevention and renew our recommendation that steps be taken to close these places at twelve o’clock midnight. “It is our observation that our law enforcement personnel has not been increased commensurate with our growth in population. In mak ing some inquiry in regard to that feature of the matter, we are ad vised that both the County and City authorities have difficulty in em ploying qualified oficers due to the low rate of pay offered; further, that the City is now short 12 police officers below the authorized force due to the lack of applicants be cause of the low rate of pay of fered. It is our further informa tion that the salaries paid the po lice officers of Wilmington are considerably below that of other cities in Eastern North Carolina whose population are much less than that of Wilmington. “We therefore recorrimend that the County Commissioners of New Hanover County and the City Coun cil of the City of Wilmington give prompt, consideration to the in creasing of the rate of pay of its law enforcement officers to such an extent as may be found advisable under present conditions and also authorizing the employment of such additional officers as may be re quired to properly police the county and city areas. The grand jury reported 44 wit nesses examined, 14 true bills found, two not true bills, two presentments and one investiga tion. Reports from justices of the peace were examined. -V A mature Sequoia tree spreads ■fts roots over two or three acres. Xix K STRAIN FREQUENTS* effects one's general health.

Doubt, Courage Belong To Youth, Grads Told ■ w . _ CHAPEL HILL, June 9.—— Doubt and courage and inexperi ence are the virtues that belong to the yqunger generation today— the younger generation that will fight this war. finish it. and take the lead in building the world of tomorrow, Raymond Gram Swing, famed news commentator and for. mer correspondent in Berlin and London, reminded members of the graduating class of the University of North Carolina who received their diplomas at the 148th com mencement exercises in Kenan sta dium here tonight. I am not sorry for you, he de clared. “I do not lament that you' have come upon the scene in this tragic hour. You have the stami na and fortitude to bear the ex actions of deep change. You will dare to examine all, to doubt all. You will build the new world with the bricks and the mortar of doubt. Terming this period in the history of the world an age of doubt. Mr. Swing said that, although it may seem paradoxical he had believ ed in the virture of doubt, as serting that underneath it is a foundation of positive faith. “There is faith in the need for freedom in the practicability of freedom, freedom of mind and freedom under the law.” he de clared. “Such faith is the corner stone of democracy. For democra cy itself is a paradox, a society of individuals who are true to their own visions, but who are concern ed with the rights of other indi viduals. . . For democracy what ever its constitutional form, is dedicated to the protection and fullfilment of the individual, and the individual can only grow if he has the courage to doubt.” Climaxing the three-day pro gram, the exercises lonight gradu ated the largest class in the his tory of the institution. More than 800 young men and women receiv ed their diplomas from the hands of Governor Broughton, after which President Frank P. Graham made them a touching farewell. Alumni from all sections of this state and many from far away places thronged the campus today and recalled their student days at an open air roll call of classes conducted this morning near the Davie Poplar by Judge Henry L. Stevens, Jr., ’17. of Warsaw, alum ni marshal. Holding reunions were the old students club, composed of graduates out of the University 50 years or more, and the classes of ’17 (regular and medical), ’02, ’04, ’05, '06, ’07, ’23, ’24, ’25, ’26, and 41 President Graham discussed the University’s war role at the alum ni luncheon in Lenoir Hall this neon, and Commander O. O. Kes sing of the Naval Aviation Pre Flight school here, spoke on the training of the cadets. Major L. P. McLendon of Greensboro, president of the Alum ni Association, was toastmaster. RUBINOFF WILL PLAY AT CAMP Violinist On Program For USO-Camp Shows, At Davis June 19, 20 Camp Davis received a pleasant surprise Tuesday when USO-Camp Shows headquarters in New York City announced that Dave Rubin off, popular violinist, would appear with “Hullabaloo,” revue schedul ed to play at the camp June 19 and 20. Advise d by his physician to rest after a strenuous nine months coast-to-coast tour, Rubinoff has chosen instead to devote his va cation to a series of USO-Camp Shows engagements. The violinist will bring with him the magic fiddle which has en chanted millions of listeners in con cert halls, theaters and on the radio. Special precautions will be taken to guard the violin which is a genuine (hold onto your chair) Antonius Stradivarius Cre monensis valued at $100,000. Rubinoff is known as the “Mob Artist”; beside being a superb vio linist he is a crowd pleaser. There won’t be anything stuffy about his program. Of all the top flight violinists in thb country, n one would appeal to a solidier audi ence more than Rubinoff. Not only as an artist, but also as a composer and arranger, Rub inoff is recognized as an outstand ing contributor to contemporary music. “Fiddlin’ in the Garden,” “Romance,” and “In a Spanish Garden” are his best known com positions.. In Chicago’s Grant park Rubin off established a world record for attendance —225,000 by official estimate — at an outdoor musical event. “Hullabaloo.” musical comedy production, will also feature the Gae Foster Roxyettes; Lew Parker master of ceremonies; Three Hol lywood Blondes, sensational roller skating trio; the Del Rios, acro bats of the dance, and other head line acts. Admission to these shows is free to officers and soldiers. _\t_ School Enrollment Up 2,412 Over Last Year With a total enrollment of 12, 873 in the school term which clos ed *on May 29, as against 10,461 the previous year, New Hanover county’s schools show an increase of 2,4! 2. The information is giv en out by Superintendent H. M Roland. The 20 per cent increase in en rollment necessitated the board of education’s nine-project, $865,000 school expansion program, launch ed last December, of which three projects have been completed. Work on the other six projects, although hampered by the War Production board’s freeze order on lumber, is still progressing, Mr. Roland said, and all projects should be substantially completed by the beginning of the new school term next fall.

Well’s infantry regiment keep their heads down in maneuvers —and they wear their tin hats, too. There would be a lot of sore heads if they didn’t because when they are theoretically under fire in the field Major Wells rides around in a scout car and uses his slingshot to plink any exposed noggin he finds. The 32-year-old commander knows his men must learn this important military lesson and figures his pebbles can teach it less painfully but almost as emphatically as the enemy’s bullets. tT FIRST RECRUIT HERE FOR WAAC Patricia Willcox Signs Up For Enrollment In Wo man’s Army Corps A former assistant movie di rector, Patricia Willcox, is first of all Wilmington women to apply for enrollment in the new Women’s Army Auxiliary Corps.
