Whilbe gave to Brown a check
tor $2,000 in payment of merc
handise. White did not want to
give the check, telling Brown
that he did not have such a lar
ge sum on deposit. Brown as
sured White that he would hold
the check and not put it in for
collection until told to do so. The
next day Brown, without White's
consent, presented the check for
payment to the bank and pay
ment was refused, because of in
suffienoy of funds. White was
indicted tor giving a worthless
check. May White be convicted
and sent ito prison?
Yes,. White has given a worth
less check in violation of the Nor
th Carolina statute, because he
knew at the' tthte he had neither
funds nor credit at the bank to
t»y it upon presentment.
Thie fact that iBrown, the payee,
ditl not keeP Ws promise is no
defense. White has caused a nui
sance to trade and commerce by
putting into circulation worthless
paper — an offense against the
public. There has been a disturb
ance of the (business integrity of
the community.
Is it a crime for the payee of
check to pass on to a third person
a check that he knows is worth
less?
Yes. It is if at the time of the
delivery he knew the drawer did
not have sufficient funds on de
posit or credit at the (bank with
which to pay the check upon pre
sentment.

Many visitors consider a stay
in North Carolina incomplete
without a trip to one of the cen
ters of the State’s vast tobacco
industry. The big cigarette fac
tories at Winston-Salem, Relds
ville and Durham offer guided
tours each weekday.
Hunting waterfowl with a ca
mera instead of a gun is a fas
cinating hobby for many visl
tors. lA't Ansonville, on U. S. 52 a .
ishjort distance from Southern,
Pines and BinehurSt, more than
12,000 Wild Canada geese spend
the winter at the refuge estab
lished by the late Lockhartt Gad
dy as a hobby which grew into
a nationally known attraction.;
In the Cape Hatteras National
Seashore Park, some 12,000 snow
geese take up winter residence
at Pea Island Refuge about
Thanksgiving time and remain
Within sight of the Cape Hatter
as highway until early January.
Throughout North Carolina,
winter travelers find a wide ch
oice of good accomodations, a
mong them handsome new mo
tor courts on the new or newly
rebuilt north-south highways
which bypass many congested
areas.
Historical sites and many spe
cial attractions remain open
year-around, including the Rilt
more House at Asheville; the
Wachovia Museum and John
Vogler House in Old Salem, Win
ston -Sailem; the craft centers op
erated by the Southern High
lands Handicraft Guild at Ashe
ville; the Moaehead Planetarium
on the University Of North Caro
line campus at Chapel Hill; and
tlie Nuclear Reactor building at
N. C. State College, Raleigh.
So, It’s fairly evident that win
ter retains many travel lures in
“Variety Vaoationland," point
out the motor club’s travel ex
perts.
Don't let ihigh-priced machinery
stay outside during the winter.
