STATES JUSTiCES MAY PUTON ROBES They Will Decide Question During Summer, Before They Enter New Home. Raleigh, June 26 • The ques tion before the Court deals with what the well-dressed Justice should wear. Specifically, the satorial prob lem is whether North Carolina's seven Supreme Court Justices should don black robes when they open the Fall term of court in the State’s new granite, marble and chronium “Justice Building”. The judges will decide the ques. tion sometime this Summer and, s I ' VISIT [ Hotel Roxboro * k ; \ During 'Hospitality Week’ i k : Were you will find true Southern | Hospitality in its finest form.

The rumor is, though, that the Court is as sharp ly divided on the matter of dress as it has been on many of its re cent decisions. Never in the history of the High Tribunal have the Justices worn robes—by an unwritten a greement, the members have worn dark suits and neckties, both usually black. The question of robes was rais ed about two years ago by one of the Justices, and the matter went so far that Clerk of Court Edward Murry was asked to order sam ples of materials. (Murray got the samples and turned them over to the Justices, and that’s all he knows about it. It is understood that the final de cision at that time was deferred until the completion of the new building. Several Justices are said to be lieve that robes would add dig nity to the Court, and be in keep ing with its new and handsome setting. The tribunal will have the entire third floor of the $700,- 000 building, and the court room, which is two stories high, extends through much of the fourth floor. Stars, not unlike those on the dressing rooms of ingenues, are solid wooden doors of the court room. Automatic elevators, which move at the press of a button, steal silently between the floors. o Dr. Reynolds Stresses Fitness Os Generation Raleigh, June 25 The import ance of immediately preparing young men and women physical ly for universal service, through means at the disposal of govern mental and cooperating State and local units, was emphasized by Dr. Carl V. Reynolds, Sttae Health Officer, in a statement issued to day. He urged that no time be lost in preventing the prevent able, protecting the protectable and curing the curable, in order that American youth, when it goes into centers of training, will not be inviting endemics or epi demics in these centers, but will be fortified against these risks. Dr. Reynolds said: “Today, I saw nine billions of dollars being appropriated for Che ■ national defense. “Today, I saw plans in the' making for universal training. “Today, and tomorrow, we need 1 the man and the woman who is sound in mind and body, to guide, direct and operate our prepared ness program. “Delay means waste of both time and opportunity.
