2 CONFESS THEFT
OF MONEY FROM CAR
COMPARTM'T HERE
Police reported last night they
had obtained confessions from Carl
Haislip and Red Vaughan, two
Roanoke Rapids youths, who they
•ay admitted the theft of a sum of
money taken from a locked com
partment in the car of D. L. Wheel
er here Monday night.
The car was parked in front of a
house at the corner of Roanoke
Avenue and 4th St. where Mi.
Wheeler visited for less than a
half hour. Returning to his car,
he discovered the glove compart
ment had been broken in and rob
bed of about $80 in cash and a
number of checks.
He notified police who started
on the trail of various ones sus
pected of robbing ears in the city.
They picked up the trail of Haislip
and Vaughan at the Blue Bird,
traced them to Weldon, the State
Line, Skippers and Emporia. There
the trail was lost temporarily. Po
lice in Petersburg and Richmond
were notified.
Last night, the two boys returned
to Roanoke Rapids and a half
hour after their return sent word
to the police where they were, after
learning they were being sought.
After their arrests they would ad
mit nothing, but today they told
the officers they had taken the
money and burned the checks.
They went to Skippers, Emporia,
Richmond and Norfolk, according
to their story. Police went to the
place on east 4th Street where the
two said they burned the checks
and found the ashes where they
bad been burned.
Evidence of their having spent
money freely was also unearthed
by the officers along the route the
two had taken Monday night.
Chief Dobbins again warns all
persons to lock their cars when
parking.

Editor Roanoke Rapids Herald,
Roanoke Rapids, N. C.
Sir:
The local talent of Roanoke Rap
ids is indeed remarkable, while the-1
atricals are rather a side line in
my life it must be said that on
last Friday evening, March 17th, a
most enjoyable two hours were
spent in being highly entertained
by the splendid musical show given
by the Kiwanis Club of this city.
Most unusual were the various
acts. Many were comical, some
were romantic, others were filled
with wit and humor, while the fine
voices and the good music seemed
to hold a large audience spell
bound.
The circus feature was unique,
the different animals were repre
sented by the male actors. Often
two or three men were required to
form the larger animals.
One would suppose a little boy
five years of age would find en
chantment in these man made ani
mals. Not so my little five year
old grandson. On his return from
the show he was sent at once to
bed, but not ot sleep for we over
heard the most animated mono
logue on the subject of “Pretty
Girls”. Must be a masculine weak
ness. Well, the ladies do love to
have admiration—they always did.
Taken as a whole the play was
very, very good, and best of all
the proceeds will be used for a most
most worthy cause.
Congratulations, Kiwanis Club,
and most praiseworthy the local
talent.
Mrs. Ruby Sims Rudd,
Richmond, Va.

NEW HIGH SCHOOL BUILDING
ABOVE under construction is the new unit of
the Roanoke Rapids High School being built by
Fred Forest & Co., local contractors. For the pres
ent, the building will be only one story, but later
another story will be added. The new building is
a replica of the Junior High building. Lack of room
space made the building necessary. In the back
ground may be seen several homes in Patterson
