tet will sing “Are Ye Able,” af
ter tolich Benediction will be given
by the Rev. Mr. Hubbard.
Then the boats will glide away
from shore, and in the gathering

In Federal Court
Of the seven illegal-liquor con-1

—Moses Bannister, 18 months;
Ezell Bannis'.er, 12 months; Corne
lius Bloome, six months; and Pri
son James, six months.
Heavy Fines
The other two conspirators, Steph
en Price and Nelson Bannister,
both Negroes, were fined $200 and
$150 respectively. In addition, Ban

gallons of illicit liquor since Iasi

SOROSIS REPORTS
$4,750 IN DRIVE
Mr*. John K. Ward Pre
dicts Cancer Campaign
Will Succeed
Over $3,000 on the road to a goal
of $4,750 was reported last night
by Mr*. John K. Ward, publicity
director for the New Hanover coun
ty Cancer control drive.
Earlier in the day the total had
been announced as $2,900, but ad
ditional reports yesterday after
noon brought the total to the above
figure.
Predicts Success
Mrs. Ward expressed the belie!
that the drive which ends officially
May 1, will be an overwhelming
success in New Hanover county.
In her appeal Mrs. Ward asked
the “liberal support of everyone, in
making the county’s quota go over
in a big way, and possibly over
subscribing the amount”.
Sorosis In Charge
The campaign in New Hanover
is under the sponsorship of the
North Carolina Sorosis. It began
two weeks ago, and since that time
“substantial” reports have been
made by the various groups mak
ing solicitations.
Mrs. Ward said that checks for
donations to the drive should be
made payable to Mrs. J. R. Chas
ten, Box 825, Wilmington.
Beach Canvas
At Wrightsville and Carolina
beaches, a group of girls will make
house-to-house canvasses for funds
for the drive.
The day will also be set aside at
the beaches, and in Wilmington as
“tag day”, when workers will solic
it contributions from persons on
the streets.
Government estimates of the na
tion’s citrus crop for 1946 indicate
it will be 188,480,000 boxes; about
j 10,000,000 more than last year.
