Company Causes
Test CaseFor OPS
First Action In U. S.
Regarding Keeping of
Records
The first case in any court in the
United States regarding where rec
ords required by the Office of Price
Stabilisation’s General Ceiling Price
Regulation should be kept came up in
Raleigh on July 26. Judge Don Gil
liam issued a mandatory injunction
the Halsey Hardwood Com 7
pany of Edenton.
The order requires that the Halsey
Hardwood Company keep the required
records available for inspection in
Edenton, where the firm is incor
porated.
The Halsey Hardwood Company is
a corporation, the majority of whose
shares are owned by Richard P. Baer
& Company of Baltimore, Md. The
firm, represented by former U. S.
Senator William B. Umstead of 'Dur
ham, held that it was their custom
to keep records in Baltimore, thus
meeting the requirements of the law.
The consent judgment signed by the
defendant granted the relief which
had originally been sought by the
OPS. The government was repre
sented by John C. Rodman, Assistant
United States Attorney.
District Enforcement Director
James P. Latham said: “It is felt
that this consent judgment will have
a most excellent effect on compliance
activities within this district. The
Halsey Hardwood Company, as well
as many other lumber companies in
this state, are controlled by partner
ships or businesses outside North
Carolina. Until this action, there
was an honest question in the minds
of these firms as to exactly where
they were required to maintain their
records—at the plant where the firm
does ite business or at a spot of the
company’s own choosing. That ques
tion has now been answered.”

[ Mobile Diorama
i Exhibit On Belk-
Tyler Lot Aug. 3-4
Free Display Sponsored
By Edenton Police
Department
A beautiful detailed mobile diorama
exhibit will appear in Edenton Friday
and Saturday, showing on the Belk-
Tyler lot next to the Belk-Tyler store.
Cliff&rd Cunningham, an artist and
skilled craftsman of Arlington, Va.,
worked more than a year in construct
ing exhibit which is entitled “The
Prince of Peace,” which is housed in
a gleaming white trailer. The ex
hibit will give viewers an unusual
perspective of scenes from the life of
Jesus Christ.
Dioramas are usually built per
manently in museums and other
places of display. Mr. Cunningham
believes that this is the first mobile
diorama exhibit in the world.
A former businessman, Mr. Cun
ningham devoted hundreds of hours
to research and the construction of
the exhibit. He has an investment
of about SIO,OOO in mobile equipment
and materials but says “the idea of
making anything out of this exhibit
is not so important. I’ve gotten a lot
of personal satisfaction out of build
ing it. I hope to bring Christ just
a little closer to the people who view
this exhibit.”
Four painstakingly prepared dio
ramas, including many waxen figures,
complete to every detail, especially
as to costumes, are in the exhibit. Mr.
Cunningham has overlooked no mi
nute detail. Reproduction of masonry,
flowers and other vegetation, rocks, <
soil texture and other items are in •
accordance with the Bible description |
of the scenes and in accord with ,
world-famous paintings by great ar
tists. i
Mr. Cunningham is a past master at
the art of building exhibits. He did
exhibit work for the War Department
for two world fairs, San Francisco
and New York, and built a number of
other special exhibits for the govern
ment.
The exhibit is sponsored by the
; Edenton Police Department and the
public is cordially invited to attend.
There will be no admission charged.
