PHONE 289 l r Judge Emphasizes Highway Slaughter (Continued from Page One) to get across a message of caution. It is a shame for young men to lay bare his breast to the enemy and come home and soon loose their lives in automobile wrecks.” Judge Stevens presented these startling figures: In the past war 261,608 Americans laid down their lives, 651,911 sustain jed wounds, 32,811 disappeared, listed as missing in action, 124,194 were captured and made prisoners of war, this figure totaling 1,070,524. During | the same period Judge Stevens point ed out that 355,000 were killed on the highways, 36,000,000 were wounded and injured in automobile accidents, despite the fact that no bombs were | dropped, nor a gun fired, so that it was more precarious at home on the automobile battle front, than on the battlefronts. Judge Stevens said the slaughter I cannot he stopped by law enforcement I alone, but that citizens must make it their business to stop it. Citing some of the statutes, he said there are not enough officers to guard every foot of terrain, so that citizens have a duty to perforin in reporting violators, who have no right to menace the lives of others. "It is the duty of a good citi zen," he said, "to report violators, re gardless of who they may be and have enough guts to go in court to testify. A road hog will hog anything in life. The main trouble is selfishness and indifference with no thought for the rights of others.” i “During the war,” he said, “no one j would have hestitated in reporting a I person giving information to the ene j my which would jeopardize our boys, j yet we sit by and do nothing about ! reporting those who menace the lives of those who desire to obey the law. This mass murder could be stopped in a week if the violators knew they would be reported." Judge Stevens then referred to the crime wave, which, he said, he was glad to see has not materialized in North Carolina. "However,” he warn ed, “what is happening showed cause for us to be on guard, for an army of six million criminals who have been apprehended is on the march and many were not caught.” lie stat ed that the basic cause for crime is whiskey. i Various crimes were then explain ed to the grand jury and the usual ; instructions given, but before com -1 pleting his charge, Judge Stevens said ‘it almost breaks his heart to see the THE CHOWAN HERALU, EDENTON. N. C., THURSDAY, ABRIL 4, 1946 Court House, a temple of antiquity, have an old stove and stove pipes. ‘Til bet that old stove burns 10 tons of coal per year. “I believe in econ omy, but that is not economy and is almost a crime against North Caro lina, and your County Commissioners ought to do something about it. They should get their hands down in their pockets and provide a central heating plant for the Court House and jail. There is nothing uglier than that old stove.” The idea has been considered by the Commissioners and in fact plans some months ago were prepar ed by an architect, but due to present day conditions, the project has not been started. Concluding his remarks, Judge Ste vens urged the jurymen to enter up on their duties seriously and when completed they will have the satisfac tion of proving that they have per formed one of the most important duties a citizen can be called upon to do.
