Please bo as brief as PRESBYTERIAN CLASS VOICES OBJECTIONS TO SUNDAY AUTO RACES To the Journal-Patriot: A more flagrant desecration of the Lord's Day has not been seen In a long time than was observed here last Sunday when the auto mobile races were held. At a time when the very life of our civilization is dependent upon a recovery of a sense of spiritual balance the people of Wilkes have taken a long step in the di rection of a wide-open Salbbath. Automobile racing, with its dis regard of human life and with* the gambling features that in evitably accompany it, is ques tionable enough on any day, but when it is held on Sunday and when it makes a bid for people who otherwise would be attend ing public worship, then it be comes an unquestionable evil which should be stopped. It is time for thoughtful people to be aroused. The Men's Bible Clpss of the North Wilkesboro Presbyterian church, aware of the threat of such events to public morality, voted last Sunday to raise its voice of protest and to urge those in authority to take such measures as needed to prevent any recurrences in the future. The Men's Bible Class, The Presbyterian Church, North Wilkesboro, N. C. Surry And Yadkin Homes Hit By Week-End Thefts . Blkin, May 20.?Surry and Yadkin County officers today continued their hunt for thieves who robbed homes in Blkin and Yadkinville during the week-end. It is not known whether there was any connection in the burg laries or with a previous robbery of a sum of some $1,500 from another Yadkin County resi dence. The robbery of the North Bridge street home of John S. Mayberry of Elkin occurred dur ing a week-end absence of the family at the beach. Apparently the safe in which valuables were kept was entered by working the combination and the home .was entered by means of a key since no locks were damaged. A feed bag containing a portion of the stolen property was found by a group of Forsyth ?county youths in the Yadkin* Riv er near the bridge on Highway 67. The contents consisting of $28.85 in nickels, a note for $5,-. 000, and other items were turn ed over to Winston-Salem police by the youths. Valuable articles stolen were not found in the submerged bag. The second robbery occurred on Sunday when the Yadkinville home of Ernest Long was enter ed in mid-afternoon while the family was attending the bac calaureate sermon of Yadkinville High School. Long lost $65 cash, two suits of clothing, a watch and other' items. Ned Hood, soil conservation agronomist, a roomer in the home lost several suits of clothes, shirts, radio, revolver and sav ings bonds. A reward has been offered for the apprehension of the thieves, Yadkin Sheriff Mox ley said. Previously M. A. Swaim, Yadkin farmer, reported the loss of $1,500 cash from a box in a dresser at his home. He had no idea when the theft was com mitted as he had not looked into the box in several weeks.
