Farm Labor Survey Set The number of Americans 14 and-older in the labor force who did any paid farm work during ^963 will be determined from Jmswers in the December Cur rnt Population Survey to be con ducted in this area during the wefek of December 15 by the U. S. Department of Commerce. According to Joseph R. Nor wood, Director of the Charlotte Regional Office, U. S. Bureau of the Census, the figurtes will up date those released recently which showed that 3.6 million persons in the labor force were employed as hired workers on the Nation’s farms during 1962. The survey has been conducted regu larly since 1945 by the Bureau of the Census for the U. S. Depart ment of Agriculture. Answers given in this survey, being taken in 357 selected areas of the United States, will help the Government in determining farm labor needs and in studying the special economic and social problems of migratory workers and othfer farm employees. In addition to the questions asked annually on the number ol days worked and cash wagoe earned, the Census Bureau inter viewers this December will ask information on the type and val ue of other benefits the hirec I farm hands got from their far mer-employers. Included will b« questions on frefe housing, meals food products and other benefits The questions will supplement the regular questions asked each I month on time worked by those j in the labor force during the i week before the interview from j which th Nation’s employed-un I employed figures are dterived. In October the survey showed ! 3.2 million of the 76.1 million persons in the labor force were out of work. The comparable fig ures for the same month a year ago are 3.3 million and 74.9 mil lion.

One evening Ht^mah was adjusting the curtains-of the living room window whenhis hand touched something on the top of the window-frame, .loose in a crevich, which he thought at the time was a piece -of ,d<rt or plaster. It fell to the floor: To his astonishment he discovered-'that it was a valuable diamond brooch covered with cobwebs and dirt. Hannah handed the valuable brooch over to the police, receiv ing a receipt for it. After a dili gent search, the owner was not found, and the police handed the brooch to Peel. There was no evi dence that Peel had ahy know ledge of the existence of the brooch before it was found' by Hannah. May Hannah in a legal pro ceeding recover the brooch from Peel? The above facts are substan ■ j tially those appearing in Hannah vs. Peel, an actual case decided by one of the highest courts of England only fifteen ypars ago. j The case is already appearing in j case boohs studied by Arnepicavii law students,’and probably cor-1 reetly states both the English; and American law on the subject. It is not unusual for American lawyers to resort to .English cases for judicial precedents. This is especially true where there are no statutes or cas£s on the particular subject in the state. Thiere are, for example, no statutes or actual cases in this area of the law in North Caro lina. The Engiisn court held that Hannah could recover hither the brooch or its value from Peel. It found from the facts that the brooch was "lost” in the ordinary meaning of that term. It saw no circumstances to take it out of the general rule of law that the finder of a lost article is entitled to it against all persons except the true owner. This is the last of a fall series of articles which have appeared weekly during the past three months. They have been written for the non-lawyer as a public service of the North Carolina Bar Association. Another series will be started in the spring. A man’s well became contami nated with gasoline.

May the own er of the well recover damages from the operator of the filling station? Yes. A person who, by permit- j ting the pollution of his own soil j or the water thereunder, contam inates his neighbor’s well is lia ble in damages. In some cases the continuation of the pollution has been re-: strained by injunction. In 1927 the Supreme Court of North Carolina said: "One mayj no more pollute a subterranean; stream than a surface stream. Aj person has no right to 'befoul,: corrupt or poison underground water so that when it reaches his neighbor’s land it will be unfit: for use by man or beast. The same principle applies to noxious! odors. This a good morals as well; as good law.” A largte building was construct ed without gutters. The water collected thereon was thrown a gainst the wall of a neighbor’s building. This water kept the wall of the neighbor moist and the water leaked through the wall and damaged the building. Does thb neighbor have a legal remedy? Yes. This was an actual case before the Supreme Court of North Carolina some years ago. The Supreme Court said: "The water falling on the defendant’s lot, in its natural condition, could run off as nature provided for it, and the lower proprietor could not complain. But when the de fendant erected a building, the roof prevented part of the rain fall from being soaked up by the ground, and when the defendant collected it on his roof and dis charged it against the plaintiffs wall, or increased the quantity at the plaintiff’s wall, he divert ed the water from its usual coursie and became responsible for any damage caused thereby.” The plaintiff recovered dam ages and a court order requiring the ownter of the building to con struct gutters or drains to pre vent the water from flowing a gainst his neighbor’s building and lot. Stars vary greatly in tempera ture, according to the Book of Knowledge. Orange stars such as Arcturus have temperatures of about 7,500 degrees Fahrenheit. Yellow stars, among them our sun and the star Cfipella, have' temperatures of about 10,000 de- j grees. Some white stars, such as’ Sirius and Vega, reach 20,000 de grees and a blue-white star such as Rigel, in the Constellation Orion, has a temperature of a bout 30,000 degrees. i Airman Bishop In “Big Dipper" USS KITTY HAWK (FHTNC)-j Jambs D.

The^Oacar**of the railroad industry is the Golden Freight Car pictured above, which is awarded annually by Railway Progress Institute. This year, the coveted trophy was won by Southern Railway System — the first time it has been won by a railroad in the Southeast. The trophy was awarded to Southern in rec ognition of our efforts to increase our usefulness to those we serve by providing improved service at lower prices. Our lightweight, 100-ton-plus capacity freight car, “Big John,” which enabled Southern to make a 00 per cent reduction in the prices we charge for hauling grain, was cited as an illustration of how progressive poli cies will benefit both the public and the railroads. We are proud of this recognition. It will spur us to strive even harder to fulfill our public duty to provide the most useful and lowest-cost freight transportation possible — saving money for both shippers and consumers.
