Although this is the season
to be merry, it is* also the
season to be robbed. WinstonC

uaiEin is experiencing a
continuous increase in robbe-'
?? ries and break-ins. "Robbery of
convience type stores,
mini-markets, street muggings
and house break-ins have
been of oreat ennrern tn thp
police department and citizens
in the North and Northeast
? . section of the cityT" said T-A.
Surratt, chief of police here.
"There has been a
tremendous loss to citizens in
reference to stereos, T.V.'s,
clothing, coin (Collections, and
tape decks in this section of
town", he said in a recent
interview.
People are stealing anything
that is not nailed down.
Much of it, chief Surratt
said, is impulsive. "But some
of it is planned and schemed
out." The chief said there is a
market place _.-_for these
easy-selling goods.
Stolen goods such as T.V.s
and Stereos are easy - to
"fence", and often robbers
will steal to fill orders.
"A lot of it is taking place
within the neighborhoods,"
he said. Some of the. stolen
goods never get out of the
neighborhood."

"People don't take the
'necessary precautions and
some areas are conducive tox
committing crimes." For
instance, the openness of the
territory around used car lotsr;
dimly lighted streets, isolation
of small convenience-type
stores and carelessness of
some Christmas shoppers.
This might explain Winston-Salem's
14 to 15 per cent
increase in crimes in 1974.

The Better Business Bureau
has urged former students of
the Career Training Institute
or Keypunch Academy who
feel they were deceived by the
. schools' advertising and
promotional materials to seek
possible refunds of their
enrollment fees through the

(FTC).
The FTC, in a consent
agreement signed recently
with the former owners of
Career Enterprises, Inc., has_
ordered them to pay as much
as $1.25 million in refunds,
primarily . to students who
completed one of their
vocational courses and then
were unable to obtain jobs in
the field for which they were '
trained.
The FTC has said that as.
many as 80,000 former

them, and many of these may
not be current.
The Commission order,
which does not constitute an
admission of any law
violations by parties to the
agreement, is based on

"The respondents' courses
were virtually worthless for

courses and franchises is an
unfair act of practice."
