'THURSDAY, NOV. 15,1956- 1 ht^T' HEN .that Powell boy started . courting my niece Sara Ann *1 saw trouble ahead, it being elec ■tion year and all. But that sum teer' as they’d' daihce, his dark ‘arm about her tiny waist, her taffy colored head so close to his, every body said it was meant to be. I admit, I even had a few goose pimples when I saw them to gether. It certainly was a love match. ■ But you see, my brother, Sara Ann’s father, runs the bank and dabbles in politics. Gil Powell’s father farms at the edge of town and owns one of the finest herds of Angus in the state. But he dabbles in politics too on the other side of the fence! Most everybody seemed to think the chasm could be spanned by true love. But when a boy and a girl have heard nothing but one side of the story for over 20 years you can’t expect either to take a sensible point of view to a subject, Especially if the moonbeams hap pen to get wiped from their eyes just about election time! So they went ahead and got married de spite my plea that they, wait, and have a pice Thanksgiving wedding, after the election. “We’re too old to be influenced by our fathers any more! Besides, tve’ve made a pledge to ignore politics,” Gill grinned and pulled-; her tp him, brazenly kissing her «> fight in front es me. '’Campaign promises!"

His folks had moved into town and the kids were living it up in the big old family house about a mile out of town. Sara Ann called or I called her every few days.

CAMPAIGN PROMISES By Madge Adams having the time of her life, dec orating the old house and Gil, in his spare time was paneling a big basement room in knotty pine. It was going to be a combination recreation room and office for him. ’ ' It was then I noticed the little worry wrinkles that formed in Sara Ann’s white forehead and her near hysterical laugh {hat accompanied _her- remark. So! Something was wrong despite the careful gaiety of the occasion. When I got back into town I dis covered the fire was getting fuel from an outside force. I soon dis covered that Gil’s dad had pointed out tnat cattle prices were down, due, naturally, to the present bungling mismanaged administra tion. He had also explained that there was going to be little money to make any major changes in the old house and he surely had hinted that it’s an unthinkable wife who does not vote the way it strikes her husbands pocket book. And cvidentaily a lot of this had seeped through to Sara Ann. To complicate the matter, Sara Ann's father had spoken to her of her sacred duty as a voter. He had hinted that only a weak spined female would give up h*r life long convictions because pf * husband. ) ,Ta top it all pff JS went out or, election day and found Sara Ami locked Ip the basement. When Gil came jrt she practically accused him of. locking her in so she couldn’t go vote. “All right! I'm going to take you into town to vote—,” Gill said curtly. “Oh, Gill NO l’m sorry for' what I said. Oh, darling, you go on in and vote, I don’t care!” j And as I saw the moonbeams return to their eyes I knew it was time for me to get out. It wasn’t for me to tell them I’d seen them' each come in and vote earlier in the day without letting the other one know. , • gretted there was no such organ ization in the town where they then lived. He paid a visit to the nearest Boy Scout organization, asked them to cooperate and start a movement in their town. The leader made the suggestion that Kirk’s son be approached to help stax-t the movement, thus giving him that sense of importance that human, beings crave. " In due course of time Kirk saw his son a Scout Master, and in the interim between the unhappy sit uation and this elevation, the boy gradually came to see the impor tant issues of his life as his father saw-4hsm. The young daughter again ab sorbed the teachings and beliefs of her brother. To lead rather than to boss be came the policy of these parents, and their “teen-age problem” was virtually solved THIS IS THE LAW By Robert E. Lee ' (Fqr the N. C. *6ar Association) FAMILY INJURIES Mr. and Mrs. Joe Smith, and thsir son, John, .age l ten, were riding for pleasure in the family oar on the highways of North Car olina. John was at the wheel. While driving at an excessive rate of speed and due solely to the negligence of joe, the automobile collided with a tree. Mrs. Smith and John were seriously injured. May they recover damages in a legal proceeding from Joe? Mrs. Smith may recover against her husband in the courts of Nor th Carolina a judiment for the full amount of her personal injcr ies. John, however, cannot recover anything from his father. There is a statute in North Car olina which gives to a husband and wife the right to recover against each other damages sus tained to their person or property the same as if they were' iinniar ried. If Joe Smith has the usual type of .personal liability while driving an automobile, the insurance company will pay Mrs. Smith the amount of the judg ment obtained against her hips barM.

In these kinds of Gourt actions the defendant of ten gives testimony that is favor able to the plaintiff. John cannot recover anything from his father because in Nor.th Carolina, and generally elsewhere throughout the United Staets, an unemancipated minor -child can not maintain a tort action against his parent for personal injuries. The fact that the parent has an indemnifying insurance policy . does not change the rule. The rea son is public policy, a policy of seeking to preserve parental au thority and family harmony. Th - have said that there would be little parental authority and discipline around the home if the minor children could threaten the father with court proceedings. “A’ child should not be taught to bite the hand that feeds it.” In many jurisdictions, other than North Carolina, a wife can not sue her husband for personal injuries on the theory that .such suits would disturb the domestic SEE IT TODAY!

Kenyon, Jr.. FCX mar keting director, explained that the nuts must be handled properly it | they are to qualify for top prices. I This meanajjp- he said, that the hulls must be removed the walnuts thoroughly dried. X test for dryness is that the walnuts shoqld not weigh over 20 pounds per one-half bushel alter the hulls are removed, and they should not stain the hands when rubbed against dry palms. Kenyon also pointed out that there should not be- more than 10 blanks p-.-r 100 walnuts. A blank is defined as a walnut without a kernel or with a kernel sufficient ly damaged to classify it as a blank Before being taken to market, the walnuts should be placed in bags and tied securely. Any kind of bag other than paper* will be accepted. Utilizing this “waste", crop can add millions of dollars yearly to the income of Carolinas farmers, Kenyon said.
