  • FEBRUARY 8, 1979/THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN/PAGE 13 Sanson? no go on UNC Board of Governors Court of appeals sees crowded docket RALEIGH, N.C. (AP)—The state court of appeals Tuesday upheld four lower court rulings, including a decision prohibiting Raleigh banker J.J. Sansom from serving on the University of North Carolina Board of Governors and the state Banking Commission at the same time. 9 Sansom was ousted from the UNC board last January after Andrew A. Vanore Jr., senior deputy attorney general, issued an opinion that Sansom was violating the UNC statutes by serving on the Banking Commission.

The appeals court agreed with Vanore's December 1977 opinion. After he was (breed ot! the board. Sansom filed a lawsuit in Wake Superior Court, and that court also supported Vanore's decision. In other action, the Court of Appeals: •Upheld the dismissal of criminal charges against two insurance executives and their companies for alledgedly making illegal campaign contributions in 1977 to Insurance Commissioner John R. Ingram. In 1978, a Wake District Court judge dismissed charges against George H. Talbot, president of Charlotte Liberty Mutual Insurance Company, Walter B. Clark, president of Mid-South Insurance Company, and the companies for allegedly diverting company money for political purposes in violation of state campaign laws. Later the same year, a Superior Court judge upheld the ruling. Each man has acknowledged writing a $500 company check to support a January 8, 1977 inaugural breakfast for Ingram, but the courts ruled the law does not apply to inaugural breakfasts. •Upheld a contempt of court order against Rep. G. Ronald Taylor, D-Bladen, for refusing to allow Department of Labor officials to inspect his tobacco business last March 21. Taylor was ordered by a Superior Court judge last April to pay a fine of $500 or submit to an inspection. He had refused to allow state Department of Labor officials to inspect his business. Taylor can appeal Tuesday's decision to the state Supreme Court or permit his business to be inspected, according to George Lennon, an associate attorney general who represents the labor department. •Upheld a $37,250 verdict a woman won against a Raleigh dentist who injured her lip by anesthetizing the wrong side of her mouth for a wisdom tooth extraction. A Wake Superior Court jury determined in August 1977 that Sara D. Cozart was entitled to damages from Dr. Marvin E. Chapin because Chapin acted negligently. Mrs. Cozart has not collected any money due to the appeal. ( hapin can ask the state Supreme Court to review Tuesday's decision and would not have to pay am money, pending outcome ol an appeal. Juvenile arsonists CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP)—Statistics show that juveniles are responsible for about one-fourth of the 200 to 300 arson fires reported each year in Charlotte, according to fire officials. Juveniles have set 14 fires in the Dilworth section of the city in the past 18 months, authorities say. "I'm not talking about four or five year olds playing with matches for the first time," said city Fire Investigator Bert Christopher. "These kids are seven to 17 years old. Their motives are revenge, thrill-seeking and excitement. And in some cases, they're showing defiance for authority." Christopher said some fires set by juveniles in the city cause extensive damage. He said, for example, that one fire set in Dilworth caused $25,000 in damage to a house. And police believe a fire that caused $4,000 in damage last week to a supermarket was set by youths who set crates on fire on the store's loading dock. Christopher said he is investigating reports of a club in Charlotte which requires potential members to set a certain number of fires and turn in a certain number of false alarms. "I look at it as a serious problem," he said. "With the recent national and local publicity we've been having on arson, everybody is starting to take a look at the crime." Mecklenburg County Fire Marshall Dan Carpenter said there are usually several juveniles involved in a fire. "A lot of these kids are doing it to impress their peers, so others have to be involved or there's no fun in it," Carpenter said.
