There was nothing saucerlike

As ^e forward end proceeded,

George Rogers, Negro, found a
novel method of doing his Christ
mas shopping. The result was no
merry Christmas for George, and
his New Year greeting was a six
months' sentence, handed him
Tuesday at recorders court in
Carthage, to be spent working at

He was convicted of larceny of
articles from two cars parked on
the local streets during Christ
mas week. From one car, belong
ing to Pete Martin and driven by
Msr. James B. McFarland, who
had been doing her Christmas
shopping, a quantity of gift items
were taken—ties, socks, bed
room slippers, a lamp and other
things. However, in rifling the
car as it was parked on Leake
street the night of December 21,
George overlooked the best gift

H. B. Wright, of Green Harbor,
Mass., a guest at the Mid Pines
club, were taken clothing, keys,
eye-glasses, a comb and $5 in a
small silk purse, as it was briefly
parked on North Page street the
night of December 20.
Both thefts had been reported
to the city police, said Chief C. E.
Newton. However, when officers
observed George “acting suspi
cious” on a West Southern Pines
street about 3:30 a. m. Thur^ay,
December 22, they did not at first
connect him with the thefts.
George was a man with a record,
though, and they proceeded to
search him. In his pocket they
found a pair of brand-new bed
room slippers.
The officers then went to
George’s room, where a search
revealed more of Mrs. McFar
land’s purchases still in their
cheery Christmas wrappings, also
some of the things lost by Mr.
Wright. The trail took them also
to a neighbor’s house, where
George had apparently already
made a gift for there was Mrs.
McFarland’s new-bought lamp.
Several of the stolen items re
main missing, among them Mr.
Wright’s keys and the $5 bill and
purse. Chief Newton said.

Airborne Men Train
for Biggest Maneuvers
A large contingent of the 82nd
Airborne at Fort Bragg is enter
ing this week on intensive train
ing at Little Creek, Va., for this
country’s largest peacetime man
euvers, to be held through mid-
March on a small island off
Puerto Rico.
A 500-man vanguard left Fort
Bragg Wednesday by truck, fol
lowed by 3,000 more soldiers in
nine trains, for the naval ship
yards at Charleston, S. C. There
they , were marclied aboard a
small armada of waiting ships,
to be set sail for Little Creek.
During the maneuvers, dubbed
“Exercise Portex,” the Airborne
members will support 80,000
troops—Army, Navy and Marines
—in a simulated invasion and de
fense of the island. Realism will
be given the maneuvers through
the presence on the scene of three
actual Russian ships, classified as
“fishing schooners” but known to
be radio-equipped and believed to
be on duty in the area for obser
vation purposes.
