Wandering Gypsies Chased From County Moving days were in order for a band of roving gypsies in the county this week. Slipping into the fair grounds when the gates were open to the public without cost last Mon day evening. The gypsy band was chased out Tuesday morning. Oper ating on a scattered front and forc ing their way into rural homes, the gypsies were ordered out of the county by officers Wednesday. Said to have slipped a considerable sum of money from Farmer Alec Williams, a fortune teller was order ed to return the loot, one report stat ing that the fortune teller or "pick pocket" lifted >180 from the farm er. Another report said the farmer missed only $100, the amount He re covered after calling for Sheriff C. B. Roebuck. According to the storv heard on the streets, Farmer Williams went to have his fortune told in one of the little tents along the midway. The fortune teller or fortune seeker in structed the victim to take his pock etbook out and gradually extract a dollar bill, the agreed price for the super information. "Look right at me," the fortune teller told Farmer Williams. Reaching a climax in the semi-mystic rites, the gypsy urged the farmer to lift his head up and close his eyes. The farmer claimed that the money was lifted from his pocketbook at that moment. There was more money in the wallet, and the owner did not miss the lost por tion until a short time later. The show management turned over the $100 to the owner. Missionary Tells Of Suffering In China DRY MONTH A new dry record (or Septem ber in the record at the weath er station on Roanoke River here last month when only O.tl of an inch of rain fell. Only in nine other months during the past eleven years has the weath er station recorded less than an inch of rain, and only once in that period did a dry spell reach such proportions as the one ex perienced in this section since the 20th of last August. In Oc tober and November of 1933. less than one inch was recorded in the two months combined. Kut for a dry year, as a whole. 1941 is well on toward an all-time record.

Germany's well-laid invasion plans are apparently going haywire in Russia, late reports from the long battle front stating that the invad ers are retreating at several strategic points after suffering staggering losses in both men and munitions. One report stated that hi one area sufficient equipment was captured by the Russians to keep the German blitz in high gear for a week or more. Prepared to defend their second largest city, Leningrad; to their death. Russian forces have staged counter-attacks in that area and have driven the invaders hack to points as-far away as thirty miles from the town The Germans, said front-line re ports, are rushing up reinforcements in an effort to stop general Red coun ter-attacks which already have greatly improved the Russian posi tion all'about the city. ~ (The British wireless reported al so that the Russians had retaken Strelna, 20 miles west of Leningrad, and that 2o miles t?? tin- east of the ctiy the Nazis had been thrown back to a depth of nearly 30 miles from Kolpino eastward to Lake Ladoga.) On the central front, Russian coun ter-attacks were reported rolling on, and the official Communist newspa per Pravda declared that Red planes set fire to the forests in some areas to drive the Germans out at the con clusion of a 17-day battle. The Dnieper River in the South, dispatches from the official news agency Tass asserted, was carrying away thousands of German dead. Italian forces had appeared on the west bank oftho Dnieper, it was add ed, and in one of their first actions suffered the loss of a platoon. (The Italians have claimed to be well to the east of the Dnieper.) The picture drawn by earlier front line dispatches was this: South, where the supreme Soviet task is defense of the industrial Don ets basin: The German battalions falling back to their old positions af ter an all-day assault which failed tr> rrprk the Donets line, leaving dead and captured by the hundreds, and dozens of field guns, mortars, machine guns and smaller weapons on the field.

Leonard, Sr., Says Hitler Siicr(*hh Will Mean Viar Vt itli Japan Recognizing in Japan's policies the greatest threat to uproot Christian ity, Dr. Charles A. Leonard, Sr., re turned missionary, declared in an interview here yesterday, that he would be willing to see his son and to take up arms himself in checking the great Japanese menace facing the world today. Home for a few months vacation after seven years of uninterrupted service in China, Dr Leonard, one of the Baptists' most valuable missionaries, eon demned the Japanese aggression in China as the most ruthless move mertt known to the modern world In Dr Leonard's opinion, only the de feat of Hitler will prevent war be tween Japan and the United States He explained that the current bluff ing game can only last so long Im pressed by the preparations the United States is making in the Pa rific. the missionary is of the belief that this country means business His experience with the down trodden and suffering Chinese peo ple has convinced Dr. Leonard that nothing good can come out of Ja pan, that the world could make no ruthless rulers who are robbing the peace-loving and humble Chinese of their heritage and enslaving them. "It is impossible for us in America to even imagine conditions as they exist in occupied China. We have nothing to compare it. with," Dr. Leonard said In unoccupied China which comprises about four-fifths of tlie country not including Man chuna, conditions are much as they were before "However, the war is demanding.much of the people, and suffering is widespread there," the missionary explained. The stories coming out of occu pied China are almost unbelievable. According to Dr. Leonard, the Chi nese people have been robbed of their property and reduced to slav ery-, the -aggressors allowing them hardly enough of the poorest food to keep them alive Sonie forty millions of homeless people have moved into West China the greatest migration of people in history. This hys been a sad trek for parents and children. Thousands of parents, starting with several chil dren. have arrived in the West with only one 01 two left The others, un able to walk further, dropped be hind, crying piteously after their parents, f'lease daddy, mommy, don t leave me, I won't cty any more Surely the road to the West has been one of suffering, sacrifice and death lot thousands of families." Continuing Dr Leonard punted a report from China, "Chinas eoaslal provinces have NO,000,000 refugees, and 80 per cent of these are women and children. Relief societies have only one bowl of rice gruel for one out of teii. Millions will surely per ish unless food is provided immed iately "Our missionaries report finding from one to twenty dead bodies at the front gate every morning. In Shanghai the trucks go forth early every morning and pick up about two hundred and sixty dead bodies from the streets of the city starved or frozen to death during the night." Touched by the suffering of hu manity on such a large scale back in that great country where he has spent many of his best years, Dr. Leonard, it is apparent, is yearning to return to his work there. "Mis sionary work there was never more encouraging than now While nearly all of the missionaries were driven out of occupied China by the Jap anese, native religious leaders are trying to carry on the work, and in Free China there are many American missionaries in the field," Dr Leon (Cnntiniied on page Jourj . ?, ? Fire Damages B'g Lumber Yard Here Its origin not definitely determin ed, fire burned about seven thous and feet of lumber and threatened the big mill yard of the Thompson Lumher Comnanv hpre Wednesday afternoon about 3:30 o'clock, Burn ing rapidly in a large pile of dry lumber before it was discovered, the I fire was just beginning to spread to other parts of the yard when local volunteer firemen reached the scene. Water was thrown on the burning timber during the greater part of am hour before the fire was brought under control Spectators declared that possibly all the timber on the yard or a greater part of it would have burned had there been no wa ter or organized effort to check the fire. Partially covered by insurance, the. burned lumber was valued at ap proximately $210, Fire Chief G. P. Hall said in listing his report on the fire. Club Women of The Fifteenth District In Session Here Today President Addresses Ijirjje Croup in Baptist Chureli This Morning An oumtsftcall to democratic prin-1 cipli-s as they relate to Christian Ed ucation, the Home, Civic Organiza tions and Freedom was heard at the annual meeting of the Fifteenth District North Carolina Federation of Women's Clubs held here today. Attended by 181 representatives from fourteen clubs, the meeting 1 emerged from the routine class to promulgate meaningful policies and to sound a warning against the tol eration of common obstacles to our progress and defense.
