Carolina’s Only TABloid NEWSpaper The Roanoke Rapids Herald _V0LUME TWENTY_ROANOKE RAPIDS, N. C„ THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 22nd., 1934_ NUMBER THIRTY-TWO BAFFLING BURGLARY HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS UP AND DOWN Che Avenue WITH THE EDITOR Kiwanians last Thursday bent fun-owed brows over a government test. What did the following let ters stand for? Try them yourself. Answers on another page, RFC, CCC, NRA, FDIC, FHA, FERA, HOLC, TVA, FACA, PWEHC. The headlines of last week’s issue caused much comment. By coincidence the November issue of The Modern Psycholo gist, on sale at local drug stores has an article on Abnormal Outlets by Howard N. Rose, Psychologist. He says sadism is predominant in every-day life, defines it as an abnormality in which one receives a certain mental or sensuous pleasure by causing pain to others. We quote from one paragraf in his discussion: “Have you ever read a news paper account of a murder and ridicule what seems to you to be the best joke you ever heard when you quote the murderer, who con fessed: ‘I killed my wife because I loved her”. And he adheres firmly to this motive. The courts laugh at him and either put him in prison for life or send him to the electric chair. Yet he clings to this reason for killing his wife”. Mr. Rose goes ahead to as sert that the psychological fact is there but is not interpreted. He would have courts regard eases of sadism as unpunishable motives for crime. He says sad ism may be overcome if the person wants to help himself. It is like ridding oneself of any undesirable habit. Little symp toms which proclaim sadistic tendencies, say the writer, are such as one who bites his or her friends, likes to hurt your hand when shaking hands, al ways looking for a fight or tus sle, likes to be the first to bring bad news, likes to hurt the feelings of others at the slight est provocation, is unnecessari ly cruel to animals, etc. A new project like the school building always calls for more work.

HOPE TO DECORATE AVENUE Business Houses Plan To Start Stringing Lights A group of merchants in the city plan to start a regular cus tom of lighting the Avenue with colored Christmas lights during the holiday season, starting on a small scale this year and adding to the fixtures each year. The movement was started by the Merchants Association but because many of its members are not on the Avenue, the Associa tion gave up the idea and indi vidual merchants on the Avenue are going thru with it. At a meeting this week, a doz en business firms agreed to donate to the fund for buying the nec essary globes and wire to string lights in the two business blocks in the South Ward. E. W. Smith local electrician, has agreed to in ' stall the lights at cost and VEPCO has agreed to enter into the scheme with full cooperation. Mr. Smith plans to see business firms in the North Ward this week and (turn over) ROSES IS VICTIM NO CLUES Four Locks And Safe Fall Before Onslaught Of Clever Robber Police are puzzled over one of the boldest robberies in recent years and are no near er a solution of who broke in the new store of Rose’s Five & Ten Sunday night, broke four locks, a safe and escaped with fourteen money bags containing several hun dred dollars. The trail of the robber can be easily followed from the time he entered the building until his ex it. But from then on there is no clue or trail. Entrance was made in the al ley by climbing a telephone pole which very handily delivers one to the second story window which was prized open with little trou ble. The second floor has not been finished but is being used for storage purposes. ,A door down to the first floor was forced open. This threw the thief into the storage room at the rear of the main store. An other lock broken and he was in the main store. The safe was located in the of fice on the balcony in such a po sition that the robber could work behind the balcony railing with out detection from the street. As a matter of fact, a person in the store could not have seen him at work. The actual method of breaking in the safe provides one of the baffling mysteries of the rob - bery. It appears that the combi nation was bent down far enough to permit a hacksaw to be used altho some of those who know safes cannot figure out just how this method was successful. But it was and th.e robber went away from there with fourteen money bags containing several hundred dollars. Four of the bags were white canvas, eight were khaki colored and one was a large canvas bag. Loaded down with hi a loot, the robber evidently could not or would not leave by the upper story window. He broke the Yale lock on the rear door of the store ( Torn over J
