An appeal was issued to the gen
eral public today for the donation of
vegetables of all kinds to be donated
for canning to .be used during the

in the public schools. Any kind of ve
getables that will admit of canning

ing to acquire a sufficient quantity.
A1 least 1 000 cans of vegetables
of all kinds is desired. It is estimated

food will be taken for canning.
So far no donations of the kind

the need will be large, and it is hoped j
that the response will be in keeping
with the need.

HEAVY DOCKET UP
BEFORE THE MAYOR
Prunks Play Prominent Part
in Long Session Before
Mayor Watkins
A heavy docket faced Mayor Irvine
B. Watkins in Municipal Court this
morning, the session lasting practical
ly four hours with whisky cases pre
dominating.
Mary Knight, alias Mary Brodie,
Negress, pleaded not guilty to pos
sessing illegal whisky for sale, but
was adjudged guilty and sent to jail
for two months. In another wsyrant,
she was charged with attempting to
intimidate witnesses, Wade Reid and
Norman Gill, Negroes. In this case
she was given additional two montrio-
She appealed both cases to superior
court, and was set free under ssu ,
bond.
John Reavis, Negro, who was tried
Friday for being drunk and fined $5
and costs, was sent to the roads to
day for not being able to P a Y the
court.
George Young. Negro paid $5 and
costs for being drunk.
Ham Guill, white, also faced a
charge of being drunk in a public
place, and was fined $5 and costs.
Isaac Gill, Negro, paid $5 and costs
for careless driving.
George Burton, Negro, was fined
SSO and costs or to serve 30 days in
jail for driving drunk. His license
was revoked for s|x months.
Eugene Mitchell, white, was given
six months in jail for driving drunk.
He appealed to superior court.
Charles Tampie faced a charge ot
vagrancy, and was dismissed.
William Crosby Smith, was dismiss
ed on a charge of loitering and vag
rancy.

charged on count of beating James
Rainey.
Eugene Teiser, white, was called
and failed q,n a drunk charge, and his
bond of sls was forfeited.
Joe Jackson. Negro, got ten months
on the roads for threatening to kill
Lizzie Evans, Negress.
In pre-depression days, when we
talked of welfarev we really meant
wealth.
when the infantile paralysis situation
was approaching its worst. Some
weeks ago Dr. Mitchell advised con
tinuation of the suspension through
August. But, since there has been on
ly one case in the county in nearly
six weeks, it was felt that there
would be no risk involved in starting
all Sunday school departments again
next Sunday.
These church schools have been
greatly crippled by the ban against
the children. Only adult and young
people’s departments have been iri
operation, and those schools which
have been accustomed to having at.
tendance marks of 300 to 400 have
dwindled to around 100 or a little bet
ter.
Sunday school officials are calling
on their department heads and teach
ers to contact il pupils anad have
them return next Sunday, and it is
expected that the schools will rapidly
snap back to normal.
