Forsyth County, recently got a face lifting as 30 4-H members worked at converting it into a clubhouse and meeting place. To carry out the face lifting. 4-H'ers armed themselves with paint brushes, hammers and saws. They sold light bulbs and candy to secure sufficient funds to buy materials for repairs and they gathered supplies donated by community members. In addition to having a new club house, the boys learned to make minot repairs and the girls learned decorating skills, Mrs. JoAnne Falls, assistant home economics Extension agent, says. Rence Wilkins. a Rocky Mount 4-H'cr, had to make a choice between a S25 ready ? made bathing suit or a S22 trip to 4-H Congress in Raleigh. As any smart teenager would, she figured out a way to do both. 'Rence made her own bathing suit for five dollars," Evelyn Wilson, associate home economics Extension agent, Edgecombe County, relates. This left money for the Raleigh trip. For three years, Mrs. Yvonne Ray, home economics Extension agent, Columbus County, looked for a homemakcr or 4-H'er who would like to made extra money by pickling cantaloupe to sell at the SENC ? Crafts store. Lake Waccamaw. She found her family. Grandfather, Volley Recce Burroughs, Sr., had the cantaloupes. Mrs. Burroughs and her two daughters Ruthann and Cindy, like to do food preservation. So Mrs. Ray held a cantaloupe pickling workshop for the Burroughs family and two other girls. Gay Garner and Nance Soles. Points emphasized during the workshop included correct weighing of ingredients, use of correct equipment and proper processing techniques. Accomplishments of the workshop showed 8 half pints of pickles and more to come. Local Business The prosperity of the United States owes more to the automobile business than to any other single industry, exclusive of agriculture. No question about it- thc United States can build the best and most attractive cars in the world. But recent experience shows that these fine machines do not sell automatically. The selling of automobiles to a mass market means advertising in mass media. At times, sales failures may be caused by the concentration of national automotive advertising in less effective media. Automobile manufacturers could give more heed to the opinions of their local dealers. According to a study in one School of Journalism, dealers rate newspapers far above any other local medium as a means for advertising automobiles. More than 85 per cent of the dealers questioned in the survey called newspapers and "excellent" medium for advertising automobiles. The same percentage had an equal regard for newspaper pub!icity~in contrast to approximately 40 per cent who gave radio and television an equal rating. This Is The Law BURGLARY What is burglary? Burglary is, the breaking and entering of a dwelling house of another, in the nighttime, with the intent to commit a felony therein. Any room used as a sleeping apartment in any building is included within the definition of a dwelling house. Burglary is generally committed with an intent to steal, but there are frequent cases where the intent is to rape or commit other serious crimes. If a person breaks into a dwelling house at night with an intent to commit therein a crime not sufficiently serious enough to be classified as a "felony," he cannot be convicted of burglary. He will in this instance be convicted of a lesser offense. The intent to commit the felony must exist in the mind of the defendant as of the time of the breaking into and entering of the house. For example, if a person breaks into a dwelling house at nighttime to merely look at documents or valuable pictures, he is not guilty of burglary, because there did not exist in his mind as of the time he broke in and entered an intent to commit a crime serious enough to be designated a "felony." This is true even though after entering the house he changes his mind and decides to steal the documents or pictures, and in fact does steal and carry them away, therby commiting a felony. But. on the other hand, if he breaks into and enters a dwelling house at nighttime with intent of stealing documents or pictures, and upon examining the documents then decides that they are not worth taking, and in fact does not remove them, he is nevertheless guilty of burglary in the first degree, because the intent to steal or commit a "felony" existed in his mind as of the time he broke into and entered the house. What is the punishment for burglary in North Carolina? The crime of burglary in North Carolina is divided into two degrees, first and second, depending upon actual occupancy of the dwelling or sleeping apartment at the time of the commission of the crime. If the habitation is actually occupied at the time of the commission of the crime, it is burglary in the first degree and punishable by death or life imprisonment. If the habitation is nut actually occupied at the time of the commission of the crime, it is burglary in the second degree and punishable by either life imprisonment or for a term of years in the discretion of the judge. The law has always regarded burglary as one of the most serious or aggravated crimes. The law has been zealous in the protection of a man's home. It is in his home where he relaxes and sleeps. ABSOLUTE DIVORCE This is the first of a fall series of articles which will appear each week throughout the next three months. They liave been written for the non-lawyer as a public service of the North Carolina Bar Association. What are the grounds for an absolute divorce in North Carolina? The statutory grounds for an absolute divorce in North Carolina are as follows (I) If the husband or wife commits adultery: (2) II either party at the time of marriage was and still is naturally impotent: (3) If the wife at tie time is pregnant, and the husband is ignorant of the fact of such pregnancy and is not the father of the child with which the wife was pregnant at the time of the marriage (4) If the husband and wife have lived separate and apart for one year; (5) If either party lias engaged in an unnatural or abnormal sex act with a person of the same sex or of a different sex or with a beast; (6) If tlie other party is suffering from incurable insanity and has been confined for five consecutive years next preceding the bringing of the action in an institution for the care and treatment of the mentally disorderded. Approximately 97 per cent of all absolute divorces obtained in North Carolina are granted on the ground of one year separation. May the court order a husband to pay to his wife money for her subsistence and attorney fees during the tune tlrat tire divorce proceeding is pending? This may be done if the judge finds tlrat lire wife does not have sufficient means whereon to subsist during the prosecution of the suit and to defray tire necessary expenses of tire suit. This is predicated 4pon the justice of affording the wife sufficient means to cope with her husband in presenting her case before the court. What is the legal effect of a divorce upon the children of tire marriage? Divorce terminates the legal relation of husband and wife. It has no effect upon the legal relation of parent and child. The liability of the fatlter primarily, to support the children remains as well after as before a divorce, and even where the custody of the children has been awarded to the mother. How soon after the divorce may the parties remarry? Either or both of the parties may enter a marriage with another person immediately upon the granting of the divorce decree. Of course, if they desire, they may enter into second marriage between themselves.
