HMNr% wm— v a jl nis l s the Law By ROBERT E. LEE t* (For die N. C. Bor Association) Bailments and Sales Distinguished Atking took some corn to a mill for the purpose of having it ground into meal. He told Bailey,' the operator of the mill, that he wanted to get back meal -ground from the very com that he brought, and that he would be back in a week to pick up the meal. In the meantime, the mill and its contents were destroyed by fire. The fire was not caused by any negligence on the part of Bailey. May Bailey be sued for the value of the com delivered to him ? No. The transacted was a bail ment. Atkins was a bailor and Bai ley was a bailee. In a bailment the possession of personal property is delivered to the bailee, but the title or ownership of the property is re tained byfthe bailor. The particu lar transaction was a bailment be cause Bailey agreed to return the identical property' in an altered form. If i?r<y>erty delivered to another under a bailment is lost gr destroy- 1 eA without the fault of the' bailee, the loss falls upon the bailor, be cause it is hig property that is lost. The risk of loss for the destruction of property, unless otherwise agreed, is upon him who has the title. Suppose Bailey’s mill had ..not been destroyed by fire. Could the creditors of Bailey have levied upon th§ com brought to the mill by Afjuns? ?Jo. Creditors of Bailey cannot seize property in his possession tl|at does not belong to him. V Goble took some corn to Bailey’s *mSl in exchange for some meal. There was no agreement nor un derstanding that Coble was to get back mgal from the very corn that h£ brought. Coble was to simply exchange his com for meal, pick ing up the meal a'week later. Be fore Coble returned for the meal, the mill and its contents were des troyed by a fire without negligence bit-the part of Bailey. May Coble sue Bailey for the meal that he did not receive in exchange for his com? Yes. The transaction was a sale or exchange. The title to the com had passed to Bailey. It was prop erty of Bailey as of the time of its destruction by fire. Coble may re cover from Bailey the market value of the meal promised in exchange for the com. T If the mill had not been destroy ed by fire, creditors of Bailey could have levied upon the com de livered by Coble. As of the date of delivery, it became property, of Bailey. This is the last of a fall series . of articles that have appeared weekly during the past three muhths. They have been written for the non-lawyer as a public ser vice of the North Carolina Bar As sociation.

For some years now the leaders of the National and World Council of Churches, a heterogeneous con glomeration of high churchites, Unitarians, and all stops in be tween, have welcomed and defend ed Communist church leaders from Russia and its satellites. Recently, at the meeting of thei World Council of Churches in Ev anston, Illinois, several of the Communist church leaders were -elected to high positions in the or ganization; among them men who had accused the 'United States of i germ warfare in Korea, and others \ who had written articles in Com munist magazines that defamed our American way of life. When these ' modem Judas Iscariots returned home they carried on their propa ganda warfare against American Democracy, telling their people all sprts of terrible things they ‘‘wit nessed’’ while in the United States. At the time several American Christians protested the inclusion of these false witnesses in the World Council, but the leaders of the World Council, among them Bishop G. Bromley Oxnam, and Eugene Carson Blake, disregarded , the protest and defended their . “Communist brethren.” Later these men wpre invited to Communist Europe, and were given degrees at Communist universities. In the recent Hungarian revolt the people of that great country 1 . threw out their Communist church , leaders, including those who had been so active'in the World Coun . cil, and .replaced them with their . true bishops and pastors, who had i been in prison. What did the ■ World Council say to that? Bishop i Oxnam says he knew all the time they were Communists, and that sooner or later the people would 1 remove them from their positions. sSEt J. C.

Yet 'Bishop Oxnam has defended these .very men, and has received honors at their hands. The maga zine over which Dr. Blake has edi torial direction said, “When they were in America at the World Council meeting many Christians felt they had no business there.” But Dr. Blake was not one of these many Christians. During the Hun garian revolt the leaders of the World Council actually sent a tele gram to the rightful leaders of Hungarian Protestantism congratu lating them on their release and inviting them to unite with the World Council. It will be interest ing to see whether or not the World Council goes back to its old policy now that the Communists are once again in control of Hungary. It is too bad that these church leaders are too proud and too pom pous to admit they were wrong, and let it go at that. It does not speak well of their Christian faith that they have to cover up their terrible mistake, to save face, to make everything appear as if they had always been opposed to Communist control of churches. However, let us be thankful that, in spite of themselves, they have realized their mistake, and though they won’t ad mit »they were mistaken, Ve* may hope they will not make the same mistake again. If they had read their Bibles to begin with, they would have rea lized that Christianity can have no fellowship with unbelief. If they had read their church history they yOU dentists say “wenderfui" . . . “best I’ve ever used” ~. “best tooth paste oa the market* would have had tihe example of I' the early church which stood firm, i without compromise, against justj such a challenge' as that which faces the chufch today. Their sin will not be forgiven until they re pent of it, and humbly confess it; but let us rejoice that at least they will not be so quick to commit it! again. j_ Peanut Production Is 50% Above Last Year With an expected yield of 1,550 pounds per acre, the 1956 produc tion of peanuts in North Carolina will amount to 306,900,000 pounds frdm 198,000 acres.
