When 1 sat mis down to write
titi. column, I .; found', that my
brain, along witfc the steel ' and
aluminum workers had gone on
a strike. So : 1 t ran out to ask
"Bookie" what I could write about
thia week. VuU of ideas, just
full of 'em," sea. "Bookie.- "Now
just hold on, Bookie.' All I want
right now is one." "Tell 'em July
is over." "Don't be foolish,
'Bookie.' They know that." "But
they dont know that you have
counted up the circulation figures
and that we gave out 2193 books
in thirteen day on the route, and
that is 320 more than in June."
"Okeh, 'Bookie,' I have told 'em
that. Now, just one more idea."
"Don't you think it would be kind
of nice to tell 'em that it has been
almost a year since you and Har
ry drove down to Wilson?" "Oh!
it has, hasn't it? Do you re
member that storm, 'Bookie'? It
was one of the kind that they call
'Arabella,' or 'Beulah,' or 'Clem
entine,' or something like that.
Do you remember how we had -to
wait for the eye to pass that's
what they call the worst part
before the man would fix you up
for the trip? Do you remember
how Harry and you stayed ahead
of me all the way, except when
we lost each other once, and how
we never could figure where you
tow went, and bow you came driv
ing up behind us just when we
were beginning to feel desperate?"
"The thing I remember best,"
sea 'Bookie,' "is when I first saw
a mountain. What thrill? I had !
never in my whole life been out of
Wilson County." "Let me ask
you something, 'Bookie.' Do you
still get a thrill when you look at
the mountains?" "Do you," asks
'Bookie.' "Yea, I do" "So do
I I do 1 do," ses 'Bookie.'

Asheville, Aug. Ned Ar
ret of Newton Saturday night
shook off the winner's jinx that
has ridden with him at McCownick
Field Speedway since June 23
when he won his second straight
sportsman feature on the new
track.
Although he had finished high
in the money each race, he hadn't
been able to win again until Sat
urday when he roared home in
front of the field to register his
third win on the local track.
He took the lead on the 12th lap
when leader Banjo Matthews of
Asheville was involved in a wreck,
and held it the rest of the way
to win. The victory boosted Jar
rett's leading track points to a
solid 336.
That Jarrett's driving is much
improved over years past was
proved Sunday afternoon when he
finished second in the 100-lap
modified and sportsman feature
at Asheville-Weaverville. He has
been the steadiest driver here at
McCormick Field all season and
seems well on his way to the track
championship.
Jarrett will head the field again
this Saturday night when Pro
moter Jim Lowe presents another
125-lap sportsman and amateur
racing program. After his two
races last weekend, Jarrett has
his Thunderbird-powered Ford in
top shape for this week's' event.
He will have to contend with
Ralph Earnhardt of Kannapolis
and Bobby Waddell of North
Wilkesboro, who are running 2-3
behind Jarrett in track points.
Banjo also will be on hand in his
hot rod Ford. The field will in
clude Red Norris of Newton, Car
los Abbott of Hickory, R. L.
Combs of North Wilkesboro, Reed
Moore and Harold Moore, both of
Mooresville, and George Mantooth,
Tommy Boger and Dink Widen
house, all of Concord.
The program will consist of two
10-lap heats and a 30-lap main
event for amateurs, two 10-lap
heats, a 16-lap consolation and a
40-Iap feature for sportsmen.
Time trials begin at 7 p. m., rac
ing at 8.

ILLEGITIMATE
CHILDREN v'c f , !-
May a man 4 required to sup
port hU illegiUmate child? . ,
Yes. ' It is a criminal' offense
in North Carolina' for a man to
wilfully neglect or refuse to sup
port his illegitimate child. . A
child is defined within the mean
ing of the particular statute as
"any person leas than 18 years of
age." .W
The burden is on the State to
prove not only that the defendant
is the father of the child, but also
that the neglect or refusal to sup
port is wilful; that is, intention
al "without cause, excuse or just
ification" after notice and request
for support. -;'
The only way support for an il
legitimate child may be obtained'
is through criminal action. The
action must be brought within S
years afteV the birth of the child;
or where the paternity of the child
has been judicially determined
within 3 years of its birth, at any
time before the child attains 18
ther has acknowledged paternity
of child by payments of support
child by payments of support
within 3 years next after birth,
within 3 years from date of last
payment.
The court may fix by order,
subject to decrease or increase
from time to time, the sum neces
sary to support the child. The
court in fixing this sum may take
into consideration the circum
stances of the particular case, the
financial ability and earning ca
pacity of the defendant, and his
willingness to cooperate for the
welfare of the child.
How may an illegitimate child
become legitimate?
In addition to formal adoption
proceedings, there are two statu-
tory methods in North Carolina f
(1) by petition filed by the
tative father; and (2) by a mar
riage of the mother and father. A
new birth certificate is made out
bearing the name of the fattier.
