"Your Welfare Department per

7 Recorder'a Court and Superior Court.
' Josephine Young, a colored woman,
. had hex husband in court for non
support, During the trial the judge
felt tt there was'; more W the case
than "was being brought ' out in the
evidence. ' He ordered that the case
be continued, and that the Welfare
Department make a social investiga
tion to learn more about the case. (
By making visits, to the- home and
by talking to some ' neighbors we
found that ("Archie, waa giving his
wife a little money occasionally, but
this was not nearly enough to sup
port the four children. He was also
out of the home no much that it
would almost have been better had
he not come in at all. We learned
that much of this was due to the fact
that Josephine had such a sharp,
. nagging tongue thai; - home life was
rather unpleasant. .'".'
We gave out report r to the court
ivVaiid it ordered that Archie pay im
the Welfare Department ' $10.00
into
f' week to be turned over to Josephine
for the. family. After several months
of working with, this family we suc
' ceeded in helping them iron out a few
of their difficulties, so that the man
' and his wife lived together . much
. more happily than before.
In connection 'with our work with
the courts we work with parolees
and probationers. Probation and
parole are often confused in the mind
of the general public. Parole is ex
tension of freedom under supervision
and on certain conditions to a crim
inal after he has been convicted and
has received ft, sentence and entered
the State's prison system. Probation
. allows him to remain at liberty after
he has been found guilty of breaking
the law bu without going to prison.
Conservation Men
Meet At Goldsboro
About sixty-five farmers, represen
ting the eight soil conservation dis
trict covering eastern North Carolina,
and others interested in the soil con
servation movement, met in Golds
boro on Tuesday, May 28. There, ac
cording to A. C Edwards of Hooker
ton, who acted as chairman, a for
ward step was taken to assure better
land use for this entire section.
The chairman explained the need
for an organization of supervisors
in eastern North Carolina. "We
sjkouJtL. get together occasionally,"
stated Mr. Edwards, "in order that
we may exchange vieWs on ways and
weans to solve our .common prob
lems. The job of soil conservation
here, as anywhere else," he contin
ued, "is too big for any of us to at
tempt alone. We should and must
work together for the benefit of all.
We have problems such as drainage
which are not important in the mid
dle and western parts of the State;
and so we can work them best in
meeting with those who represent
sections confronted with similar pro
blems. This is not," he emphasized,
"to be construed as taking a lesser
interest in soil conservation in the
entire State, but rather an effort to
work more closely on our local pro
blems without taking up extra time
at the annual Slate meetings.
At a preliminary meeting held in
Greenville on April 16, committees
were formed to work on the major
problems confronting the soil conser
vation districts in eastern North Car
olina. These committees were to
deal with the following subjects:
Drainage; pastures, field crops and
erosion; education and public re
lations; forestry and wildlife and
coordination between agencies.
Mrs. J. D. Ward Dies

Mrs. Connie Hobbs Ward, 62, wife

Surviving are four sons, James F.
Ward, Paul H. Ward, Elton C. Ward
and Leland G. Ward, all of Tyner, and
three daughters, Miss Donnie Ward,
Miss Lovelle Ward of Tyner and Mrs.
Cortez Parrish of Newport News.
Her mother, Mrs. Sarah E. Hobbs of
Suffolk, and- three brothers, Noah
Hobbs and Hirsel Hobbs of Norfolk,
and Talmadge Hobbs of Suffolk; three
sisters, Mrs. Virgie Speight and Mrs.
Susie Speight of Portsmouth and Mrs.
Myrtle Butler of Buckhorn," Va., and
four grandchildren also survive.

Warwick Swamp church Thursday af
ternoon at 4 o'clock (EST) and burial

." Daily Vacation Bible
I School At Center Hill
i A Vacation Bible School for the
. . ' Center Hill Methodist Church opened
" Monday afternoon with an enroll
ment of 43 pupils and four teachers.
1 The school is scheduled to close with
Friday's session. ' The enrollment is
;' ; expected to increase during the week,
X Vacation School for Evans Math'
j odiBt Church h scheduled to begin
next Monday morning at, 9:30 fl'clock.
Certain conditions are imposed oir a
probationer which, if violated, will
result in revocation of hla freedom
and, bring , imposition of a Sentence
to prison. ; Both probation and parole
provide . controlled way of . givig
adui delinquents- a second chance,.
The .County Welfare Departments
have' been invaluable in helping with
the cases of the vounirer probationers.
Department records and information
are helpful to probation officials; ber
cause at large percentage of the per
sons on probation have had some con
tact, directly or indirectly, with the
welfare agency, either before or af
ter being placed on probation. i.A
great number- or probation cases
come from that strata .of society
needing the assistance of the wel
fare department in one form' or
another, so that if the individual him
self isy not known to the department
there may at least besome record of
the family and its conditions.
ceTore ' a prisoner is released on
parole, the parole board writes the
local welfare department to learn
whether or not the man is likely to
have a job, a good home, and proper
friendly, help from neighbors and em
ployer when he comes out. After
plans' are made which are approved
by the parole commission, the local
welfare department and the prisoner
himself is released into the care of
the welfare department. Thereafter
he must . report to this office each
tynth until he' has shown that he has
oecome wen settled in nis jod andcin
his community.
Here again are several ways in
which your welfare department co
operates with other agencies at no
financial expense to the county.
Through this help many people are
assisted in becoming better adjusted
and are assets to the community.
