Break Ins Continue To
Plague Rural Merchants
Rural stores .in the. .county i
continue to be late hour marks |
for the petty thievery that had
plagued the area for the past .
i few weeks. The latest to be
' hit were Llttle Hiver Ice Com
pany's 561 Store and T. H.
Dickens' Store in White Level, i
Tl?e ? store-station combina
tion on Highway 561 was en
| tered around 5 o'clock, last
Friday morning. Entry was
made by unscrewing a latch
on the front door. Mrs. Gerald
Edwards, whose husband op- ;
i erates the business, reported
that the only thing they could
let ermine as missing was sixf
packs of chewing gum.
Junior Duke, who lives next
door to the store, reported that
his dogs began barking around
the time of the break-in and
he believes that this scared
the robbers away.
The Dickens. Store was hit
for the second time recently!
when on Saturday night entry
was made by breaking a front
window. Thieves had entered
the store In December. In
Saturday's break-in, Mrs. T. H.
Dickens reports that they found
some .22 caliber bullets, some
chewing gm a?4-atoout $20 in 1
change missing.
Much of the change was made
up of special coins being saved
by Dickens. There were sev
eral buffalo nickels reported
stolen. In' the December rob
bery, the thieves left all the
pennies, hut this time they took
even the smallest change.
Sheriff 4 oe Champion said his
department is investigating
these newest break-ins along'
with the rash that took place
a couple of weeks ago.
Breaking And Entering
The broken window, left, was
. used to gain entry into T. H.
? Dickens Store in White Level
Saturday night. The latch-, at
right, has tjeen replaced at the
Esso 561 Station three miles
east of town, where thieves
stole six packages of chewing
gum Friday morning.

P. C. A. Use
New Emblems
The Federal Land Dank As
sociation of Henderson and the
Loulsburg Production Credit
Association will put new cor
porate identification" emblems
into use of March 1, according
to a joint announcement by B. W.
Parsons, manager oftheFLBA,
and M. L. Jones, general man
ager of the PC A. 4
On the same day, other or
ganizations of the Farm Credit
System throughout the nation
will also put the new corporate
identification program into ef- ~
feet. These Include Federal
Land Hanks and Federal Land
Bank Associations, Federal In
termediate Credit Banks and
Production Credit Associa
tions, and Banks for Co
operatives. Farmers and their
cooperatives borrow $5.6 bil
lion a year through this system.
Association emblem Is a deep
blue oval, the new Production
Credit Association emblem is
a brilliant red oval, and the
Banks for Cooperatives will
1h? identified by a metallic gold
oval.
The overall emblem for the
Farm Credit System is also an
oval. The pillars of its illus
tration represent the three
banking groups, the roof sig
nifies the uniting service ob
jective, and the solid founda
tion symbolizes the strong
financial base of the system.
The oval of this emblem is
enclosed by the words, "Farm
Credit Service."
"Lip to the present," Parsons
and Jones said, "Banks and as
sociations of the system have
used a variety of emblems.
Behind these emblems are re
markable credit institutions,
deeply .rooted in the history of
American agriculture. The
farmer-owned Federal Land
Bank Association have served
farmers for 47 years with long
term land bank loans to re
finance debts and purchase antl 1
improve farms. The Federal
Intermediate Credit Banks, es
tablished in 1923, supply loan
fui)ds for local farmer-owned
Production Credit Associa
tions
"Our new corporate identifi
cation program Will be a na
tionally known farmer-owned
trademark," Parsons and Jones
pointed out. "It reflects our
modernization in farm credit
methods to keep pace with the
needs of modern farmlng.ln this
community."

dio for 21 years, was intro
duced by Mrs. Walter Fuller of

Depressives, Paranoid Schizo
phrenics, Psychopathic Per
sonality, Physical Handicapped,
and Obsessive Compulsives.
He explained .that women cause
fewer ac- idents than men be
cause they are less Obsessive

the last legislature toward
greater traffic safety. He al
so urged support for a Me
chanical Inspection law, uni
form court procedures and for
local purchase of a Chemical 1
Testing unit to determine drunk ;
drivers.

closing remarks about the unit, 1
[jointing out its need1ocally~be

coholics, that are difficult tc
determine without such a test
ing: unit.
