Thieves Get Candy, Gum At Kyzer Sta, Thieves broke into Kyzer's Standard Oil station early Wed¬ nesday morning, m a k ing off with only chewing gum and candy after a vain effort to pil¬ fer the cigarette machine. The break-in was not disco¬ vered until employees came to work about six a. m. and found that the lock had been tamper¬ ed with. The thieves used bolt cutters to cut the steeple on the lock, and because this method of entry was employed, Chief Deputy Bill Norton, in¬ vestigating officer, expressed the opinion that grown men did the robbery. He also found smudges inside the station to-indicate that the thieves used gloves. No mo¬ ney was left in the cash reg¬ ister when the station was closed Tuesday night, so nothing was missing other than the candy and gum. This same method o f burg¬ larizing was used when the Busy Bee Cafe and the school were broken into in the past, and it is suspected that the same person or persons did all .hree jobs. The case is under investigation by local authori¬ ties. Hale Moves Into New Office Building Maddox J. Hale, noted local attorney, moved Wednesday in¬ to his new office building just off the courthouse square. Lo¬ cated on the east side of the street and immediately the drug store, the building is one of the most modern in town. Housing only his own private office and library, the concrete block and brick construction also features an attractive re¬ ception room. All interior walls are white plaster, with beige and cream asphalt tile cover¬ ing the concrete floor. A corridor runs the entire length of the building on the north side, leading to a rear door. The structure is heated and cooled by a dual unit. The air- conditioning system is operated by electricity, while the heat¬ ing system is run by oil. Mrs. H. F. Allison and receptionist.

YOUR NEWSPAPER LIGHTS THE WAY ! °/ FREEDOM 'Jins fJi. <zAfation.at Yeisji-j^cijjex ( Week Y\iokex ; - S Theme of National Newspaper Week this year is “Your Newspaper Fights For Your Right To Know”—the true facts in an effort to keep our democracy what it is, a real dem¬ ocracy. Your newspaper plays an important part in your ccm- muni y, by throwing its light on matters cf interest which is everyone’s right and privilege to know. Newspapers fight to be able t: report news as it really happens and not as given them in, perhaps, a bias report by someone else who was pres¬ ent. When the newspapers’ light become dimmed or goes out— as happens in the dictator countries—it is possible for the gov¬ ernment to do as it pleases without the people knowing. It is our American way of life to upheld, among other things, the four freedoms for which cur ancestors fought and died and which includes for one the Freedom cf the Press. Law Returns Prisoners Sheriff F. C. (iraham and Chief Deputy Bill Norton es¬ corted three inmates of Reids- vilie Prison from the Rome jail to the prison Saturday. One of the prisoners was Milt Lee, who is currently serving a sentence in connection with the fatal at¬ tack on Junius Nesbitt in 1951. Deputy Norton and Constable Bill Williams of Lookout Mtn. had brought them to Trenton during the weekend prior to the second week of court. Lee and his fellow prisoners, spent part of last week in the Trenton jail, where they were, to have been witnesses for the state against Paul Crane, whose trial for murder was “struck" j I The new ’56 Dodges are being shown this weekend at Dyer Motcr Co., with Friday hav- n ° Jf® rnenme g dav A T L.

One of the main features the ’56 models is the push-tout- on transmission, an entirely new change from the automatic tran-mission. A big change in styling is the winged tail which have been built up and attractively chromed. The new models also have more chrome than the ’55 ears.

The sheriff and Norton were hesitant about taking the pri- soners back to Reidsville, since it is possible that they may suffer dire consequences at the hands of other prisiners there for turning state’s evidence, but due to crowded conditions of o her prisons in Hie area, it was necessary to return them to!

Herman Pays Help In Silver Dollars About two ago, Herman of Herman Manufact¬ uring Co. had an idea—new to the county, but tried elsewhere many times. When he made up hLs payroll for the week, he decided to pay off hLs eighteen employees in silver dollars. His bank did not ( consider his request for $575 in silver dollars unusual, but his employees were certainly sur¬ prised. Mr. Herman had a good rea¬ for trying the scheme; he wanted the local merchants to see the amount of business his furniture factory brought into the county and kept in the state. According to Mr. Her¬ man, there is little money go¬ out of the state in a man- NUMBER 38 while Rising Fawn ha< 150 children are attending New Salem School and 50 enrolled at Hooker Colored This is an increase over last total enrollment of 1,928. figures will undoubtedly still higher, but the com¬ of all county school^ projects is expected tot some of the strain off conditions which have a major problem the past, years.
