McMullan Rules 16 Years
Legal Marriagiable Age
RALEIGH, Dee. 26—(/P—Attor
ney General Harry McMullan held
in a digest of opinions today that
boys and girls 16 years of afce or
over may lei^lly marry in North
Carolina unless otherwise barred,
and that girls 14 to 16 can marry
with their parents' permission.
He said that in the case of a
girl 14 to 16 years of age. a per
\ son representing the parents or
guardians may give permission for
the marriage.
In another opinion. McMullan
ruled that under North Carolina
law an abortion is legally p&mis
sible providing it is necessary to
preserve the life of the mother.
However, this is the only excep
tion under North Carolina law', and
all other abortions are considered
a felonious offense.
BAIL FOR PRISONER
McMullan held further that:
There is no authority under our
law for a sheriff or deputy sheriff
to fix or approve bail for a pris
oner, except in the case of a ca
pias issued to such officer by the
clerk of Superior Court after an
indictment has been found.
Under state law, when a person
is charged with a crime but has
not been committed to prison, bail
may be fixed by a justice of the
• Supreme court or judge of the Su
I perior court in all cases, and a,so
; by a justice of the peace or chief
'■ magistrate of any incorporated
' city or town in all except capital
cases.
i After a person has been commit
i ted to prison, and before trial, a
justice of the Supreme court oi
1 a Superior court judge may fix
bail in all cases, and a justice ol
the peace or chief magistrate mas
fix or approve bail in all out capi-;
tal cases.
No county or municipality can
levy a license or privilege tax in
excess of $1 per year upon the use
of a motor vehicle licensed by the
state. In addition to the $1 tax,
however, cities and towns may levy
a tax not in excess of $15 a year
! on automobiles operated as a tax
icab.
Under state law a veteran and
I his minor spouse may execute a
valid instrument or conveyance
whenever such instrument is ne
i cessary to produce for the veteran
i arty benefit to which he may be
entitled under the laws of the
United States.
NAMES IN BUSINESS
Persons engaged in business in
North Carolina under an assumed
name or designation other than
the real name of the persons own
ing or conducting the business,
are required to file with the coun
ty clerk of Superior court a cer
tificate setting forth the name
under which the business is con
ducted, and the real name and
home address of the persons own
ing the business.
There is no provision in state
statutes which requires a bank to
be open at any specific time.
I Banks maintain regular hours on
all days except Sundays and holi
days in order to avoid the possi
bility of liability under the nego
tiable instrument law.
A bank operating a branch on
a federal military reservation in
North Carolina would be compell
ed to obey the directions of the
commanding officer in regard to
opening and closing hours, and
bank holidays.

Distributed by the Associated Press
; RALEIGH, Dec. 26—During the
past lour years libraries to some
degree have had to adjust their
activities and attune their work
to war time conditions. Some of

W'hile others have expanded.
The North Carolina state li

this department has tried to lunc

shortages in both material and la

most or tne county papers, witn
the cooperation of the papers
throughout the state, within the
last year or year and a half we
have completed our files for this
work with an addition of about
seventy-five new newspapers to
our already splendid collection of
state papers. The routine work
involved with our casualty index
ing has been such that it has
been only within the past year
that our index has been typed and
placed in a permanent file. The
name of each casualty which has
occurred to a North Carolina boy
in service as well as those missing
in action has been typed on a sep
arate card with a reference of the
name and date of the newspapei
from which the information was
taken. Some names have several
newspaper references added tc
their cards for often a boy is list
ed as missing in action, and later
listed as a prisoner of war. etc.
These cards are filed alphabeti
cally according to the name. Each
of the newspapers which are re
ferred to in this index are in files
accessible to the public and from
the dates on the casualty index
one may refer to the paper and
read the original newspaper ac
count. This index has already
proved of great value to our pa
trons both in and out of the city.
GREAT ASSET
Our newspaper files are one of
the library’s greatest assets. We
have one of the most complete
files of Raleigh papers that are
now in existence. The genealog
ists and researchers find invalu
able material within them, but as
with all items that have no in
dexs. it takes both time and pa
tience to search through them.
The delight or the genealogists
is our biennial report which was
printed last year. For several
years we have been extracting the
marriage and death notices from
the Raleigh Register and North
Carolina Gazette and the Raleigh
Str. Our biennial report embod
ies an index of these notices for
the years 1799 through 1825. This
index is alphabetically arranged
according to years. It is our in
tentions to publish this index in
each of our biennial reports until
we have completed the files of
these two newspapers. The worth
of this index has been proved by
the number of requests for copies
of our biennial report from both
libraries and individuals in other
states.
During the past year we have
added many interesting and val

HUGE NEW OIL
FIELD INOKLA.
NEW YORK. — Definite faith on
the part of the owner that there
was oil in the area in spite of the
lack of geological or geophysical
evidence is responsible for the re
cent discovery of the West Edmond,
Oklahoma, oil field, probably the
most, important oil pool found in
the United States since Pearl Har
bor. By September, 1945, the field
had produced nearly 25,000,000 bar
rels.
The story of the opening of this
field, Oklahoma’s largest single oil
field, is told in the current (De
cember) issue of Mining and Me
tallurgy, journal of the American
Institute of Mining and Metal
lurgical Engineers published here.
It is told by E. G. Dahlgren of
the Interstate Oil Compact Com
mission and Dan O. Howard, pe
troleum geologist of the Oklaho
ma Corporation Commission.
The area of the field is 26,800
acres, or over 41 square miles, and
it is now equipped with 670 pro
ducing wells. One company esti
mates that there are some 600,
000,000 barrels of oil in the ground,
about one-third of which can be
recovered by primary methods,
leaving 400,000,000 barrels to be re
covered by the various secondary
methods of pressure maintenance
water-looding, and re-pressuring.

No Santa Claus For
Burned Child In
Hospital Here
Little Dorsenteen Womlc, four- j
: year-old daughter of George Wo
imic, Kings Mountain negro painter,
| was severely burned on Friday
: morning by a fire which occur
j red after an oil stove exploded,
! completely demolishing the house
and furnishings of Womic and his
10 children. Moreover, Dorsenteen,
who yesterday was improved to
the extent that she could see, had
no Santa Claus and her intense
pain was not alleviated by pre
sents that she probably had not
expected anyway. * i
Womic himself received bad
burns about the face and hands
when he went into the blazing
house to rescue his daughter, who
was brought later to the Shelby
hospital, her entire body blistered
and swollen by the burns.
Glee A. Bridges, Kings Moun
tain business man and county
commission chairman, has made
an appeal for gifts of food and
clothing to be given to the Womic
family, such gifts to be left at
the Bridges and Hamrick Hard
ware Co., in Kings Mountain.
Nothing was salvaged from the
fire.
