MASONIC MEETING. frv llfrH. riflrpnp A JnKnAnn C!nm) m - - - - " - ---- - -- --- RAtEIGH, Apr. j.80 Clerks of the Court come up this f alll for the first tim esince North Carolina, in 1919, passed a state wide juvenile court law, establishing a juvenile court in every county in the state with the clerk of the court as judge. Under the supervision oof the judge of the juvenile court andthe superintendent of public welfare come dependent neglected and delinquent children up to sixteen years of age whose needs should be given the most careful in tlligent consideration if the welfare of thehhild is to tie conserved During the past eleven v months when a more or less adequate system of record keeping has been establish ed for juvenile courts and superin tendents of public welfare by the State Board "of Charities and Public Welfare, fifty five counties report having handled 4,643 children." Of them 2,625 have an actual court rec ord, 2,018 being cases that were set tled out of court. Those cases which came before the- court were disposed of as follows: 482' were dismissed, 1,241 .returned home on probation, 450 placed in temporary homes, 355 sent to institutions, 88 adopted, 59 disposed of otherwise. The fifty five counties making this report do not include some of the largest counties having whole time superintendets of public welfare. So it is a conserva tive estimate to say that- at least 8,000 children nave been handled by all juvenile courts in this state in the east vear. A number of the clerks of the eoart are doing excellent work as judges of the juvenile court Interesting sto ries could be told of the unselfish service Ihey have given! for instance. at m judg who made two trip twen ty miles or more over mountains in ona of the western coon ties to inves tigate a case and render what aid he could to a woman and four dependent children into whose lives a tragedy had come; of another who carried home a half naked baby wrapped in . borrowed sweater which had been unexpectedly thrust In his arms, and which the judge and his wife kept in their home for several days until a e:ood foster home was found. Sev eral clerks of the court have gone to other tates to study the work of new established juvenile courts in order to do their work better. Ap- nrAvi I at inch services as this should be expressed by the voter in the June primaris and candidates for the office of Clerk of Court be considered not only on their qualifications to do the clerical work of tha county, but on their personality, character and abil ity to handle children.

It Is surprising to see what good ma- terial for building roads the exjava Uoris afford. Sand, clay and shells ar thrown up whkh when dry and hard, make a firstrsta road bed.
