Construe-1 Ion on the new project will be-1 Saturday. j he new construction Is the I result of the Federal govern J ment’s policy of reducing traf-1 vfic hazards. While it has met ’*■ opposition from fcwith strong .some quarters, especially pro tty owners surrounding the, vTin City intersection, it was .pointed out that necessary ; funds would not be available soilless the intersection hazard was reduced. j £ Costs of removing buildings at Tin City and payments to property owners would be far litre expensive than the new road, it was learned. The con struction of the broader inter section will eventually mean the elimination of two hazard ous curves between Wallace and Tin City. Plans are fchat the new in tersection, which will culmin ate in a new route from Wal lace to Highway 40, will be danger-free, as drivers will be afforded clear view from every 4fde. The intersection from the Chinquapin side will have three •entrances, with two grass plots aking the divisions. At present tlfcf €. G. Fuller instruction Co., builders of i the Tin City-Chinquapin high way, have worked to within j one-half mile of Tin City. It is at this point that the new inter section road will be started. It will meet Highway 40 600 feet ; South of Tin City.

Broughton, president of the North Carolina Bar Associ ation, and keynote speaker at the recent State Democratic Convention, will be the princi pal speaker at the annual meet ing of the Sixth Judicial Dis trict Bar .Association in Clin ton Saturday. The district is composed of Duplin, Onslow, Sampson, and Lenoir counties. W. H.

The executive committee is composed of Jake Hurwitz, Albert Hall, P. O. Powell, L. R. Bell, and John Sheffield. The association, being the organization o f cooperative merchants and business men, was formed primarily to relieve the losses made prevalent by the absence of an adequate check on consumers who have taken advantage of local cred itors. This, it was pointed out in preliminary discussion, is particularly true in the records of groceriers. The credit function of the as sociation will be to have con fidential reports furnished monthly to subscribing merch ants, these reports to reveal the names of local consumers who have sTiown inadequate credit and a laxness in the payment of bills. The financial status of newcomers will also be inves tigated, it was decided.

PENSION VOUCHERS ARE DISTRIBUTED BY CLERK Two Confederate veterans and 30 widows of veterans re ! siding in this County received ! their semi-annual State pension checks from the Clerk of the Superior Court last week.

Blanton Retires | From House Race The scheduled second prim ary contest between George Heddie Blanton and C. E. Quinn will not be held, according to an announcement from Blanton, who was runner-up to Quinn in the House of Representatives race. Rumor had it that Blan ton, who waited the legal limit before filing notice of a second contest, would withdraw, but it was not until late Thursday afternoon that he had his name formally stricken from the books. Blanton’s withdrawal leaves no local contest to be decided in the second primary to be held on July fourth and a compara tively light vote is being pre dicted for this County unless the Gubernatorial battle warms up enough to bring out the vot ers, which at this time doesn’t seem likely. The Lieutenant Governorship and the office of Secretary of State will also be decided in the second primary. — P— -II ■■ ■ ■■!

This was probably one of the longest terms held since the court was established in 1928 and result ed in the docket being cleared of a large number of cases. 1 What was probably the most important case disposed of from the standpoint of public inter est and curiosity was that oi Paul Walker and Pearl Wal lace, both white, who were charged with fornication anc adultery. More than 500 pros pective jurors were examinee before a jury was selected to try the case which resulted in both parties being acquitted The more than usual amount oi interest in this case was the result of a divorce proceedings which was instituted and tried some time ago resulting in the | Wallace woman being grantee jan absolute divorce only to have the decree revoked later by Superior Court Judge Henry A. Grady. Other cases tried last week and not previously reported were as follows: Rosa Nell Gautier, charged with fornication and adultery, (entered a plea of guilty and jwas sentenced to jail for two years to be committed to the North Carolina Farm Colony for Women for said period. Pleading guilty to a charge of carrying a concealed wea pon, John Carr was ordered to the roads for three months. In the case of Charley Bos tic, charged with larceny and receiving, the defendant tend ered a plea of guilty of forcible trespass and had prayer for judgment continued for two years on good behavior and payment of the cost. Roosevelt Corbett, charged with abandonment, was sen tenced to four months on the roads, judgment being suspend ed on payment of the cost. In the case of S. F. Mitchell, who was being tried on a peace warrant, the Court found that the defendant had broken the peace and made threats against H. W.

Every tobacco,farmer is urged to vote, unless he wishes to reserve his vote, for other markets to be covered in later referendums. No grower is eligible to vote; more than once.

BONEY : Superintendent Duplin County De partment Public Welfare ' The addition of the Blind Commission to the Department ,of Public Welfare has increas !ed the work considerably, but lit has meant a great deal to the !blind people of the County. Fourteen blind people have been given aid each month since its inception. Numbers of peo ple with defective eyesight have been interviewed and lined up jfor the blind clinic. Twenty-four delinquent chil dren have been brought before us. Of these, seven have been placed in institutions, and 17 placed in different homes in an endeavor to help them adjust themselves, and develop into ! normal citizens without being ! confined to an institution. In order to place one of these chil dren in a private home, we first j have to find someone who is j willing to undertake this res ponsibility, then investigate 'the home to be certain that the environment will be suited tc (the child’s best interest. This i requires innumerable visits. ; Seventeen dependent and neg lected children have been un der our care, and all have been placed in private homes, where we believe they will have pro per nurture and care. One adoption has been com pleted. One child has been taken to a psychiatrist for a mental ex amination. It has been Duplin’s good fortune to have two children accepted in Caswell Training School. We have sent one boy to Eastern Carolina Training School, who otherwise would have had to serve a Penitenti ary sentence. We have made 127 visits to juveniles on probation, and 53 visits to adults on probation. We have had 67 interviewee with juveniles on parole, and 37 interviewes witfy adults on parole.
