Legitimacy Os Child
John and Mary Jones have
been married for a number of!
years. If the marriage is ter
minated by divorce or death of
John, how long afterwards is a
child born to Mary consideied
the legitimate child of John, ■
A child born during wedlock
or within a competent time'
thereafter is presumed legiti
mate.
This is one of the strongest
presumptions known to the law,
and can only be rebutted by
irristible evidence show,ng that:
(1) the husband was impotent
(lacking the capacity for sexual
intercourse); or, (2) the husband
could not have had access to
the mother during the period
w*hen conception must have oc
curred.
,In determining what is a|
“competent time” subsequent to'
the termination of the marriage,'
the law has not arbitrarily fixed'
a cut-off date. It has, instead,
fteated a group of presumptions.
In the absence of evidence to
tJte contrary, it is said that a
jjfrild born within ten lunar
Sonths, or 280 days, after the
Spath of the husband or the
Planting of a divorce degree is
resumed legitimate.”
If a child is bom more than
• ten lunar months, or 280 days,
t,(ie presumption is that the child
is illegitimate.
Court of North Carolina this
year, a child was born to a wo
man 322 days after the death of
her husband. The woman had
not remarried. She testified that
the child was the child of her
deceased husband, who had died
-wlthofl’r'a will, leaving only per
sonal property.
The Supreme Court said that
in the absence of evidence to
the contrary, the presumption
was that the child was illegiti
mate and did not inherit any
of the personal property of the
women’s deceased husband; but
that this presumption could be
rebutted by evidence tending to
shpw that the deceased husband
was in fact the father of the
child. The burden of proof rest
ed upon the child to establish
by the greater weight of the
evidence that the deceased was
the father. The Supreme Court
said that the testimony of the
wife was sufficient evidence to
require the submission of the
question to a jury.
At a retrial of the case in
the Superior Court, a physician,
specializing in internal medi
cine, testified that there are
medical records of thousands of
children having been born after
a gestation of more than 322
days, and that a 322-day baby,
while being considered uncom
mon, was not extraordinary.
The jury found in favor of the
legitimacy of the child.
This is the last of a fall series
of articles that have appeared
weekly during the past three
months. Thev have been writ

lic service of the North Carolina
Bar Association. Another series
will be started in the spring.

6 pounds of veal (up one-half
pound).
4.6 pounds of lamb tup one- -
quarter pound).
'Poultry and Eggs: Broilers—,
Although broiler supplies will
likely be smaller in 1960 than
during 1959. competition from
other protein foods should hold
broiler prices at 1959 levels.
Broilers made up nearly 80% of
all chicken meat consumed in
1959. Consumption of all chicken
meat is expected to be a little
below the 1959 rate of 29.8
pounds per person.
Eggs: Reduced supplies of
eggs during 1960 as compared to
1959 indicate higher retail egg
prices. Because of a larger
population, the consumption will
decline slightly from the 354
[ eggs per -person in 1959.
Turkeys: The 1960 supply of
turkeys is expected to be larger
than during 1959. This will
mean lower retail turkey prices
during 1960 compared to 1959.
Heavy Hens: Heavy hen
prices will also be higher during
1960 than during 1959.
Cereals: Cereals will remain
in plentiful supply during 1960
at about 1959 retail price levels.
Milk and .Dairy Products: Sup
plies of milk and processed dairy
products will be adequate for
1 consumer demand. Retail prices
[during 1960 are expected to be
j about the same to slightly higher
than during 1959. Consumption
per person for butter, cheese
and evaporated milk is expected
to decline in 1960 while that of
fluid milk and ice cream will
i be about the same as in 1959.
Fruit: Total supplies of fruit
will be up in early 1960. Fresh
fruit supplies will be ample in
the first half of 1960. The sup
ply of citrus during 1960 should
be larger than during 1959 and
prices a r e expected to be lower.
The 1959 apple crop was down
sharply from the previous year,
but ample supplies remain.
Canned fruit supplies are at
near record levels. Look for
large supplies of canned peaches,
fruit cocktail, apricots and red,
sour cherries. Sweet cherries
are in smaller supply than a year
ago. Processed apple and peach
product prices will ligely be up
slightly due to a smaller carry
over from the 1959 crop.
Vegetables: Barring unfavor
able weather, supplies of fresh
vegetables through mid-1960 will
be plentiful. Retail prices for
Irish potatoes for 1960 will like
ly be slightly higher due to a
smaller 1959 production. The
1959 supply of sweet potatoes is
THE CHOWAN HERALD, EDENTOR. NORTH CAROLINA. THURSDAY. JANUARY 7,1« M.
plentiful, indicating the possi
bility of lower retail prices for
1960.
The canned vegetable pack is
off a little but the carryover was
larger than a year ago, so the
supply remains about the same.
Frozen vegetables are in heavy
supply. Look for specials on
items in large supply.
Summary: Consumers can ex
pect to pay about the same
prices to slightly less for food
in 1960. There will be larger
supplies of beef, pork, turkey
and citrus. There will be about
the same amount of. broilers,
milk and cereals. Smaller sup
plies of eggs, heavy hens, pro
cessed dairy products and pota
toes are expected during this
year.
