Ezell Reports Youthful Cor
rectional Institutions Are
Not Full. Can Be Used To
Protect Minors.
Wider use by the counties of
the facilities aforded by North
Carolina’s training schools would
eliminate much of the necessity
of keeping youtrful delinquents
in county jails, is the opinion of
W. C. Ezell, director of the divis
ion of institutions and corrections
of the State Board of Charities
and Public welfare.
“Sometimes children are de
tained in county jails where they
come in contact with profession
al criminals because of the im
pression that the training school
are filled, but the institutions for
white delinquents have not been
crowded for many months,” Ezell
stated.
Morrison Training School for
Negro boys, he pointed out, has
had a waiting list almost since it
was founded, while there is no
place for the care of delinquent
Negro girls since the closing last
March of the institution at Ef
land operated by the Federation
of Negro Women’s Clubs with a
small subsidy from the state.
Stonewall Jackson Training
school for white boys under 16
has a capacity of 500, yet its po
pulation generally runs in the
neighborhood of 440 boys, while
Eastern Carolina Training school
taknig white boys under 20 years,
has increased its capacity through
recent construction to 180, des
pite the fact that its population
ordinarily runs into the neighbor
hood of 130.
The average population for Sac
ramand Manor for white girls
under 16 is about 170 in spite of
its normal facilities of faking

It must have been a matter of grave consequence judging from the
facial expression of Rep. Luther A. Johnson of Texas, right, who whis
pers into the ear of Rep. James A. Shanley of Connecticut. Johnson
probably wears a happier look now, for the arms embargo repeal, which
he backed, was adopted. Shanley advocated retention of existing embargo
legislation.
care of 200 delinquent girls.
In view of these facts, Ezell
says, there is the possibility of
taking at least 140 children that
ordinarily spend from one day
to two months in county jails all
over the state out of their un-J
wholesome incarceraticns in
buildings resembles medieval bas-J
tilles.
Another fact Ezell points out is
that the North Carolina attorney
general has ruled that it is il
legal under the present law for
a child under 16 years of age to
be placed in a jail where he will
come in contact with hardened
criminals.
“North Carolina will never
make any real progress toward
crime prevention until these kin
dergardens of lawlessness are
shoved overboard and children
under 16 years of age given a de
cent chance to get the right atti
tude toward life.
“When the taxpayers of the
counties come to realize that it
will cost them less for law en
forcement by preventing these
youths from learning the ropes
of jailed criminals, the state will
have made a great forward step,”
Ezell said. ,

Junior Claims Man
Sent To Prison
On Forgery Count
Raleigh Warren E. Allen,
negro junior claims interviewer
in the colored Wilmington office
of the Employment Service Di
vision of the Unemployment
Compensation Commission, was
sentenced to five t( eight years,
two to three years on the county
roads and three to five years in
the State Prision thereafter, for
/
forgery and embezzlement in
three cases of cashing and using
unemployment benefit checks
made to colored unemployed
workers in the Wilmington sec
tion, in New Hanover Superior
Court last week.
Judge Henry Stevens, presid
ing, warned savings banks and
Building and Loan officials that
they had almost become parties
to the actions by cashing or cred
iting numbers of these benefit
checks made to others for Allen.
While seven indictments were
brought against him, and sent
ences in the other four were to
run concurrently, many checks
and several hundred dollars were
involved in other cases that might
have been prosecuted.
Solicitor David Sinclair prose
cuted the cases, on evidence pro
duced by Adrin J. Newton, gen
eral counsel for the Commission.
Allen submitted to all of the in
dictments.
Wilfred Bynum, negro, form
erly with Allen in the Wilming
ton office, were indicted Friday
for forgery and will be tried on
the charge in New Hanover
County Recorder’s Court Tues
day. They were implicated in the
charges by Allen, after his sent
ence.
DAIRYING EXPERT
URGES KEEPING
OF MILK COWS
Says Cows Are Most Ef
ficient Producers Os Food
When Properly Fed.
A cow is the most efficient
producer of food known when it
is properly fed, says Prof. R. H.
Ruffner, head of the Depart
ment of Animal Husbandry and
Dairying at State College. Be
cause milk is the most nearly
complete human food, he urges
that every farmer in North Caro
lina keep at least two good milk
cows for a year-round family

milk supply.
“Increasing dairy production is
the logical and desirable develop
ment in North Carolina because
of the long pasture season, in
creased grain and roughage pro
duction, and availability of cot
tonseed meal and other feeds
rich in proteins,” Prof. Ruffner
declared. “Income from dairy
products, important though it is,
often is secondary on many farms
to the value of these products in
furnishing essential food for the
family.”
The State College professor
pointed o-ut that a cow needs a
well-balanced ration to supply
the proteins, fats, vitamins, and
minerals that are in milk. Ade
quate nutrients are needed, also,
to maintain body weight and to

Cottonseed meal is rich in es
sential protein, and is also a good
source of phosphorus; silage, hay,
and cottonseed hulls are economi
cal sources of carbohydrates and
fats; and many grains, including
corn, oats, hay, and grain by
products, suqh as wheat bran,
are available for a balanced ra
p
tion in North Carolina.
Cows will eat about two pounds
of dry roughage and six pounds
of silage daily for each 100
pounds of live weight, but Prof.
Ruffner bemoans the fact that
frequently less than one-half
this amount is fed.
