Chairman Hyde Reports Quota Made
The annual Christmas Seal sale*"
of the Moore County Tuberculosis
association was reported “over the

chairman of the county drive
which took place in December.
The ciUOia was 7,200, and dona

with unreported returns sufficient
to cross the goal.
The funds will be used in the
continued fight against tubercu

of sufferers from the disease un
able to finance their hospitaliza
tion.
Representatives of the Moore
County association will attend a
Program Planning Institute to be
conducted by the state organiza
tion in Fhyetteville February 29,
at which time the overall cam
paign for the State and its various
subdivisions will be considered.
“We whp are engaged in tuber
culosis work have a definite re
sponsibility to see that Seal Sale
funds are spent wisely and to the
best interest of the community,”
said Frank W. Webster of Raleigh,
executive secretary of the N. C.
Tuberculosis association, when in
the county last week.

Police Interrupt Lively Little Poultry
Business Here; Owner Coes To Roads
Two Eight-Month i
Terms Ordered To
Rim Concurrently
A lively little business enter
prise On the part of a West South
ern Pines resident was described
by Police Chief C. E. Newton
Monday in recorders court as
state’s witness against Sam Mc
Neill, about 50, charged with lar
ceny of chickens.
Complaints of the disappearance
of chickens from yards on both
sides of town, along with the dis
covery that Sam was selling
chickens, brought about a police
investigation and the termination
of the business.
Though Sam was keeping a
good many customers supplied,
no reserve stock was dicovered,
and he could give no satisfactory
sources of supply. It turned out
he was disposing of his chickens
as fast as he got hold of them, in
several cases selling to the same
neighbors from whom he had pre
viously stolen.
Since Sam kept no books on
his business endeavors the com
plete list of sources and customers
was unavailable, and many may
have unwittingly supplied him
who have yet to discover their
counts to which he pleaded not
guilty. Judge J. Vance Rowe,
however, sentenced him to eight
months on the roads on each
count, the two sentences to run
concurrently.
