UP AND DOWN WITH THE Tjhe Avenue Scltivi I FLIES prevented Rosemary Drug Co. from leaving the new store front open as is done in many cities. Most attractive front in town, the wide open front invited and lighted the entire store. But screens were necessary. Powerful fans did not keep the flies out. Fly ex perts say they will face a fan but refuse to cross a shadow. They also say open fronts may be used only in the most sanitary cities where streets and sidewalks are flushed regularly and alleys, etc., kept spot less. Otherwise, flies and more flies. — - ■ o ELDERLY people interest us greatly. We know of none past the age of 60 whom we do not like, regardless of their peculiarities. When they pass 70, we have a special tender spot in our heart for them. .And when the years travel past the 90 mark, we love them all. This week, John D. Rockefeller was 96. Of course, we could love him still more for having reached that remarkable age if he knew us better or was even a 34th cousin or something—but all this is from hearing about a most remarkable old gentleman who is 97 years old and who, last week, paid a visit to his son, E. W. Lehman, of the Rosemary Mfg. Co. The elder Mr. Lehman arrived here one day last week on his way to Norfolk. He lives in Winston-Salem. The next morning he told his son he was off for Norfolk, would catch the morning train, told his son he need not take him to the station; he preferred to walk. Just a mere 97. Worried, his son notified relatives in Norfolk, but the old youngster missed them, took the ferry at Norfolk and had walked five blocks toward their home before they caught up with him. Only 97 years old.—Since arriving in Norfolk, he has gone fishing three times; plans to go every time he can slip away from the young folks— why not?—he’s 97 years young, that boy.

Marks store early Wednesday af ternoon and escaped with all the change in the cash register draw ers. Picking- an afternoon when all stores in town are closed for the Summer, two boys climbed on the low back roof, thru a water-drain hole in the wall, and on up to the roof of the Marks building. They entered the building thru a man hole which had been left unfasten ed on the inside. Most damaging evidence against the young thieves is an old gray sweater, with one pocket torn off, which one of them left in their haste to get away. It fits a boy about 12 or 14 years old. they also dropped two pairs of swim ming trunks which they had taken from the main store. They were frighteed away by Mrs. Marks who returned to the store about 3 o’clock. She heard them running upstairs and the noise on the roof but did not see them or know how they entered the store until investigation this morning showed the money gone from the open cash register draw ers and the trail left by lost sweat and trunks. The store had been similarly robbed on another occasion. Last Wednesday, ^two boys were seen on the roof and police think they can identify them. Meanwhile they are looking for a boy who lost a gray sweater and who yes terday was several dollars richer than he had been for some time. I In Pacific Kidnapping TACOMA . . .

BOARD IN MEETING ALL TODAY •-e Commissioners Tell Control Board To Open Stores As Soon As Possible -o The Alcoholic Beverage Control board of Halifax County has been in session all this afternoon and until late thu evening making plans for opening control stores in va rious parts of the county just as soon as the best system can be worked out. There was a joint session with the County Board of Commission ers early in the afternoon at which time various locations were discussed and the recommenda tions of the ABC board were a dopted by the Commissioners. There was also a discussion of salaries but final action was de ferred until a later date. The County Board of Commis sioners appointed County Auditor Vinson as their disbursing agent to handle the funds for the county and his bond was placed at $1,000. After this joint meeting, the control board went into business session which lasted several hours. Two stores will be located in Roanoke Rapids and stores at Weldon, Enfiield, Scotland Neck and Littleton. Salesmen were present this af ternoon and several car loads of stock was ordered. The Control Board, Messrs. R. Hunter Pope of Enfield, B. B. Ev erette of Palmyra and Wm. Alfred Thorne of Roanoke Rapids, quali fied and took the oath under Clerk Leonidas Hux. It is planned to open some of the stores in the county the lat ter part of next week. Fixtures must be put in, cash registers purchased, rules and regulations printed, office forms ordered, and most important of all, the stock must be selected and ordered. It will take several days to make shipment and much of today was spent in selecting various brands. A central warehouse will be lo cated at Halifax where car-lot shipments will be stored and dis trbuted from there to the various stores.
