Correctness Urged By Bond
Postmaster James M.
Bond today urged the citi
zens of Chowan County to
be sure to use the correct
address on their letters
and packages going to ser
vicemen overseas to avoid
serious delays in delivery.
Postmaster Bond report
ed that millions of letters
and packages going over
seas have been delayed be
cause they were insuffici
ently addressed. He said
that one of the biggest
problems has been the
failure of persons to in
clude the very important
five digit APO or FPO
number in the military ad
dress. Mail not contain
ing this number is incor
rectly addressed.
He said that last year
more than nine million
pieces of mail were de
layed in delivery. O's this
number, 3*,i million pieces
failed to include the com
plete five digit APO or
FPO number in the ad
dress. This improperly ad
dressed mail had to be
sent to a military locator
directory where time-con
suming searches were made
to determine the proper
addresses.
“As the Christmas mail
volume going overseas is
expected to increase up to
30 per cent or over four
million pounds above ' last
year, every precaution
should be taken by friends

men to address their let
ters and packages properly
to assure rapid delivery to
its destination,” Postmaster
Band said.
There are four essential
elements to an overseas
military address. They
are:
1. The identity of the
serviceman: grade, full
name and service number.
2. His military unit:
complete.
3. Gateway post office:
New York, San Francisco
or Seattle.
4. APO or FPO: a five
digit number.
When any of these ele
ments is missing, the let

Senator Sam Ervin Says
WASHINGTON-Few is
sues command more in
tense day to day concern
than crime and justice in
this country as our citi
zens try to cope with law
lessness and its tragic ef
fects.
Like other Americans, I
am deeply concerned about
this problem. It has a di
rect bearing on the sur
vival of our civilization.
No individual is truly free
if he remains in mortal fear
that his person, his prop
erty, and his home will be
ravaged by criminals and
that all that he cherishes
may be senselessly de
stroyed.
For this reason, I have
fought to secure legisla
tion to aid the pplice and
the courts in their prose
cution of criminals. Re
cently, the Senate Crim
inal Laws and Proced
ures Subcommittee favor
ably reported three amend
ments, which I have spon
sored, as a part of the
1967 Crime Control and
Safe Streets Act.
My amendments, in es
sence, would restore rules
of evidence which have
protected society from the
menace of crime since the
founding of the Republic.
They would restore the use
of voluntary confessions in
criminal prosecutions and
the use of eye witnesses to
identify the accused. My
third amendment would
permit the accused to have
his day in court, but would
terminate endless litiga
tion over the guilt of crim
inals who have exhausted
their appellate rights
through the highest state
and federal courts. It
would prevent lower fed
eral courts from sitting in
judgment on criminal cases

Chowan Gagers
By WANDA MORRIS
The Hatteras Blue Dev

Bulldogs Friday, Novem

conference game of the
season.
The Blue Devils held the
lead at half time with a
score of 20-11. Final score
was 32-22 in favor of Hat

Ward netted 11 points
for the Bulldogettes. R.
Bunch and Goodwin both
dropped in four points for
the girls. Burras was high
scorer for Hatteras with 16
points.
The Bulldogs were de

with a score of 81-32.
White swished the net for

boys’ team and Copeland
was next with eight points,
Hatteras’ T. Midgett
dropped in 16 points for
his team and Gray netted

courts.
These amendments are
necessitated by recent de
cisions of the U. S. Su
preme Court which ignore
the fact that the victims of
crime are just as much
entitled to justice as is the
accused. These rulings are
contrary to all the prece
dents down to the date of
the decisions, and are bas
ed on sentimentality for
the accused rather than
upon the gravity of the
problems they foster.
Voluntary confessions by
the accused in criminal
trials have been largely ex.
cludetf as evidence as a
result of the June 13, 1966
Miranda decision. Under
this strange ruling, the
Supreme Court reversed
the role of the police of
ficer from that of society’s
protector of that of pro
tector of the rights of the
criminal.
More recently, the Su
preme Court went a step

further and made it ridicu
ously difficult for courts
to receive in evidence eye
witness identifications of
criminals, if the witness
has taken a “forbidden
look” at the accused while
the accused is in ’custody.
These court opinions
have created absurd and
illogical handicaps for law

deal with staggering crime
burdens never before ex

tinues to mount that these

This IsThe Law
By ROBERT E. LEE
(For the North Carotin*
Bar AaHMtatkn)
NEW APPELLATE
COURT
There are now two ap
pellate courts in North Ca
rolina: the Supreme Court
and the Court of Appeals.
The Court of Appeals,
sometimes referred to as
the “intermediate appellate
court” was created by the
1967 General Assembly,
pursuant to an amendment
to the North Carolina Con
stitution approved by the
voters cf the state at a
general election held on
Tuesday, November 2, 1966.
An appellate court, in
general, is concerned only
with errors of law alleg
edly committed in the
court below. The litigants
are represented therein by
attorneys. Rarely do the
litigants themselves appear
even as interested specta
tors.
In an appellate court
there are no jurors or tes
tifying witnesses. An ap
pellate court renders its
judgment on the basis of
the written record of the
case as made in the trial
court below. There is no
new trial of the facts in the
appellate court.
The Supreme Court of
North Carolina consists of
a Chief Justice and six as
sociate justices. The ses
sions of this court are re
quired to be held in Ra
leigh. |
A Chief Judge and five
other judges presently con
stitute the new Court of
Appeals. The -number of
judges on this court will be
increased to nine in 1969.
The members of the
Court of Appeals sit in
panels of three judges
each. The 1967 statute
provides: “The Court of
Appeals shall sit in Ra
leigh, and at such other lo
cations within the state as
the Supreme Court may
designate.”
Thus, beginning in 1969,
it would be possible for
the Court of Appeals to
hear appellate cases in
three separate cities on the
same day.
The members of both
the Supreme Court and
Court of Appeals are elect
ed by the qualified voters
of the state for terms of
eight years.
Governor Moore has
made temporary appoint
ments to the six initial
judgeships. These appoin
tees will serve until Janu
ary 1, 1969.

THE LAST BUTTERFLY
The last butterfly of summer flutters its wings to and.
fro across the last days of late autumn.
Butterfly, oh beautiful butterfly, your beauty is real
and deep, yet it is an intangible thing.
You toss and wave in the air on your aimless course, yet - I
everyone wants to catch you; fly on, fly on, fly on, _
His wings waving freely in the air takes him across
schoolground where children are running and play- *
ing London Bridge is falling down, my fair lady. ~
His flight takes him across a corner where the dead: .
leaves crackle like dry bones dancing with one
another to a muffled minuet.
As he glides and floats through the air, the sidewalks
beam with brightness from a recent shower; they-:
glaze like fine porcelain with a network of fine,
cracks running through thin pottery.
The last afternoon has a spiritual sound that floats
along in pleasing harmony; the peas have fallen
from the vines and the seed are scattered in the
garden.
The lightning bugs have long gone, so have the frightful'
spiders in the passing fall; the forests are filled with
perfumed scented berries and fragrant flowers that
spills over the ground same as tiny pearls or beads
on a thread that breaks.
In the hushed silence the butterfly stops his flight for a
short rest, as the butterfly crosses the Sound to'
John’s Island, the mellowness and ripeness of tht.
tender evening glasses itself in a burst of glittering,
colors across the water.
Into the night soft as red wine the butterfly flutters'
under ft sky that has a ringing similar to tinkling
chandeliers suspended by an umbrella of stars. :.-A
In the night of cold and pearly ice the butterfly is left
calm and watching with a piercing stare.
The last butterfly of summer flutters and expires as -
the icy fingers of the mulberry tree holds him softly'
in their grasp, little winter birds give a shudder
and go back to sleep.
