was heard as appears in the record.
After hearing the evidence and
after due consideration thereof,
die Court finds the following to be
facts:
1. The challenged jury was
drawn on Monday, the sixth day of
January, 1947, this being the date
set for the regular monthly meet
ing oi the Board of County Com
missioners. The drawing took place
in the Office of the Register of
Deeds. On previous occasions the
drawing of the jury had taken place
both in the office of the Register
of Deeds and in the office of the
Board of Couity Commissioners.
On January (i, 1947. the drawing
took place approximately at five
o'clock, P. M. On that day the
January Term of Civil Court had
convened and was in session and
recessed for the day approximate
ly at live o'clock, P. M., in the af
ternoon. Leaving the court room
the Sheriff, in possession of one of
the keys to the jury boxes, went
to the office of the Register of
Deeds and the jury box was then
opened, at which time were pres
ent the Sheriff, R. V. Welch, the
Register of Deeds, Bryan D. Med
ford, the Chairman of the Board of
County Commissioners, George A.
Brown, Jr., and the other two
Commissioners, namely, J. R. Hipps
and D. J. Nolaud, and also a child
under the age of ten years. While
the Sheriff was present at the time
the jury box was opened, he did
not remain during the entire time
of the drawing of the jury list. The
names were drawn from Box No. 1
by the child and handed to Mr.
Brown, the Chairman, who read
the names, and the names so
drawn and read were written on a
list by Mr. Medford who, as Regis
ter of Deeds was the Clerk to the
Board of County Commissioners.
2. No persons were present at
the drawing of the jury except
those whose names are mentioned
in the preceding paragraph. The

door to the ofTue of the Register
of Deeds was shut or locked. It
was and had been the practice in
Haywood County for many years
to shut or lock the door when the
designated officials and child were
engaged in drawing jurors for the
forthcoming term of court, and
should some person come to the
door and seek entrance it was stat
ed that such officials were en
gaged in the drawing of a jury and
would not be available until such
was accomplished. This procedure
had been adopted, or rather the
custom had been followed, so that
there would be no interruption in
the process of drawing the jury,
and the completion of the jury list,
and none of the designated officials
distracted or called to other duties
while this was being done. No
person ever demanded and no per
son was ever refused the right to
be present upon the occasion of
the drawing of a jury. The only
persons who sought entrance were
those who sought to confer with
some of the designated officials re
lating to other subjects. There was
no purpose on the part of the desig
nated officials to exclude from pub
lic knowledge or information the
proceedings being conducted on
January 6, 1947, and on that partic
ular day no one sought to enter
the office of the Register of Deeds
where the jury drawing was taking
place, notwithstanding it was
known and reported in the corri
dors of the Court House that the
jury was then in process of being
drawn.
3. Upon the drawing of the
name of Ned Carver a, discussion
developed relating to his criminal
record and of criminal cases then
or recently pending against him.

"Scouting has always been an

influance than ever in promoting

of the National Scout Council.

Powell, founder of the movement
stated in an interview at Washing

"The world will never wipe out

and solely on this account the
County Commissioners in their dis
cretion and in good faith excluded
his name from the jury list. No
criminal indictment was then pend
ing against Ned Carver, the most
recent criminal indictments against
him, two in number, having been
recently disposed of at the Novem
ber Term, 1946.
Some six names were drawn
from the jury box which were not
listed. Of these one or more were
the names of men known or under
stood to be dead, and the remain
der were the names of men known
or understood to be non-residents
of the County, and solely on these
grounds the County Commissioners
in good faith and in their discre
tion, excluded these names from
the jury list. Upon the foregoing
findings of fact it is ordered aH.

Sugar Stamps Will
Get 10 Pounds
After April 1st
WASHINGTON (P) The office
of temporary controls announced
today it will make 10 pounds of
the 1947 sugar ration available to
householders on April 1 using a
sinele stamp.
At the same time, the price ad
ministration branch of OTC said
sugar stamp number 53, currently
valid for five pounds of sugar, will
expire at midnight March 31, one
month earlier than originally an
nounced. OPA also said there will be no
special sugar allotment for home
canning this year.
An official of the agency told re
porters that the revision of coupon
validity dates will help OPA carry
out provisions of any new ration
increase which may be ordered for
consurvs during the year.
Secretary Anderson has an
nounced that sugar imports may be
sufficient to allow an extra 10
pounds for household use this year.
The total allotment for this use last
year was 15 pounds for regular use
and 10 pounds for home canning
for each person.
OPA said it "seems fairly cer
tain" there will be more sugar this
year, but gave uncertainty over the
size of the increase as the reason
for failure to fix the expiration date
of the new ration coupon to be
