C. THURSDAY, OCTOBER 22, 1942 NUMBER 12 FOUR JAILED ON ASSAULT CHARGE HERE Leonard Moseley is at liberty under $500 bond, but must answer to a charge of secret assault at city court here next Monday. The charge constitutes a felony, and grew out of his alleged attack on Clifton Smith, night ticket agent for the Carolina Coach Company, at the union bus station here about one o’clock Wednesday morning. Held with Moseley is Wesley Ed mondson, James Harris and R. A. Bateman, on charges of aiding and aucamg 111X11 111 L.u; cUirfclUlL. Bond has been set at $100 apiece in each of the aiding and abetting charges, and at press time Thurs day Edmondson was the only one of the trio who had posted bond. Preliminary hearings for all four will be conducted Monday by Kelly Jenkins, mayor. Smith was on duty at the bus station Wednesday morning when it is said that Moseley entered the private ticket office at the bus sta tion and struck him in the face with his fist. Smith, who wears glasses, was momentarily stunned by the blow. An officer was sum moned and made the arrests of the four youths when it was learned the three companions of Moseley had been in his company, and were reported to have “promoted” the trouble. Moseley was arrested about a month ago for disorderly conduct at the bus station, and Smith testi fied in the case. It is thought he resented Smith’s testimony and de cided to even the score Wednesday morning. Police say he has given them no little trouble, and that he had been warned against loitering about the bus station. DR. BEN LACY WILL INSTALL NEW MINISTER Dr. Ben R. Lacy, president of the Union Theological Seminary, Rich mond, Va., and a member of the Granville Presbytery, will conduct the morning service at the Presby terian Church here Sunday, and will preside at the installation ser vice of Rev.

EXPECT FULL QUOTA BY END OF THEWEEK The Roanoke Rapids Community Chest received at press time $7,643.15, which is more than one half its goal of $15,112.15, accord ing to the latest figures released by Father Peter M. Denges, Cam paign Chairman. Practically all groups, the In dustrial, the General, and the Special, reported returns from for ty to sixty per cent of their quotas and with all majors clicking 100r'i> it is believed by Chest officials that the drive will go over the top by Saturday at noon of this week. Every citizen, without exception, is expected and urged to do his part in our greatest humanitarian campaign for Home and Country. Scores and scores of voluntary Chest workers are canvassing the city, so that not a person will be denied the privilege of doing his part for ten vital Social Agencies, so essential to the welfare and betterment of this friendly and progressive community. There is a group of people in our city that is unclassified, and the Community Chest needs the.'r fullest support. Officials of the Community Chest ask that these persons contact the colonels of the uenerai solicitation, Aiirea t\. Martin or William P. Taylor, at the Rosemary Drug Co., or the Roanoke Pharmacy Co. respective ly. Pledge cards and Chest but tons are available at both these drug stores in Rosemary and downtown Roanoke Rapids. “While our gallant boys are giving their lives freely in Solo mon Island jungles and in many other parts of the world, we at home have a redoubled obligation not to let them down. Morale on the far-flung battle lines of this vast, global war depends on mor ale here in Roanoke Rapids,” Father Denges said in comment ing on the drive today. “There is no greater opportunity on the home front for demonstrat ing our loyalty to the men who fight for us than through the Com munity Chest. It is a chance not only to show our Allies in this struggle that we recognize the in dispensable contribution they are making to ultimate victory,” he continued. Here in Roanoke Rapids the bolstering of the home front, as a vital prerequisite of final tri umph, calls for adequate support of the city's needs, some of them greater than ever during these dark days of grim war. War does not obliterate, or substantially les sen, the requirements of our ten vital Social Agencies. On the con (Continued on Page 8 Sec. A)
