LOCAL STORE BURGLARIZED Merchandise Valued at Ap proximately S3OO Stolen From Smithey's THIEVES ENJOY SUPPER Groceries, clothing and over alls, valued a t approximately S3OO, was taken from Smithey's store on East Main street some time Wednesday night when thieves entered the store. En trance to the building was gain ed through the basement of the building. The basement door was pried open and a window on the staircase leading to the second floor was taken out to enable the robbers to get to the street floor of the building, when the door failed to yield to their efforts. Evidently the robbery was made in a leisurely manner, as the cafe of the store gave evi dence that the thieves also ate a light supper while they were in the building, leaving empty milk bottles and plates on the counter. It is believed that the truck of T. C. DeLozier, stolen on the same night, was used by the rob bers to haul their loot to some cache in the county, as the truck was found, abandoned, on the Dobson highway the following morning, and a check of the speedometer showed that the truck had been driven about 60 miles. Local police are working on the case.

The Best Place to Get It Elkin, N. C. ARMY PHYSICAL STANDARDS SET Medical Examiners to Keep Sharp Eye Out for Draft Dodgers INSTRUCTIONS GIVEN Washington, Oct. 23.—Draft Director Clarence A. Dykstra promulgated physical standards for men to be induced into the army today and gave special ad vice to medical examiners for de tecting malingerers who simulate ailment to dodge the draft. The requirements are more len ient than those maintained for regular army personnel but more stringent than those applying un der the World War draft. They are part of the elaborate classifi cation process which will deter mine the 800,000 men to be called for military service and which will follow ne*t Tuesday's lottery. Men who are not placed in de ferred classifications at once be cause of dependents, essential job, etc., will be given thorough phyi cal examinations and placed in one of these three classes: l-A—Those available for gener al military service. I-B—Those available for limited military service. IV-F—Physically, mentally, and morally unfit. A person dissatisfied with the local board's ruling and who claims a lower classification may appeal within five days. Dykstra's regulations outlined physical requirements designed... "to procure men who are physical ly fit for the rigors of general service." The registrant must be able to see well; have comparatively good hearing; have a heart able to Always Greatest Values In E J'TO »H At Modern Super Market Sour Pickles 2 Qt.

If a man feigns a defect or ail ment which the board cannot de tect, or if It believes defects are self-inflicted, a report must be made to the governor. Noting that "there is something indefinable in the bearing of a malingerer which experience alone can detect," the instructions are designed to anticipate all the known methods of physically dodging the draft.
