"Outstanding Farmer" Ice Company Safe Nets Yeggs $50(h One or more groups of rob bers paid a^vlslt to Loulsburg last night and peeled open a safe at Little River" Ice Com pany Into the back o I the plant and used tools there to batter and prize the door off and made away with an estimated $500 cash. SBI. Agents were called In this morning to assist with the Investigation. Officials could not say this morning wheather the team of safe crackers that visited the Ice plant were the same ones that ransacked Joyner's Whole sale and the other two establish-. ments or not. It was reported that some several drawers were pried open at Joyners and that the place was thoroughly ransack ed, but nothing was reported missing following a hurried check. The spare tire was taken from a car parked in front of Yfeughan's Body Shop, but the thieves entered the Phillips 66 ser vice and removed tools from the garage. a Sheriff Champion said that a special investigative team, headed up by Chief Deputy Wal lace R. Champion and SBI A gent L. M. Harton, was working on the break- Ins. There are few unaffected by flattery and we are not among them, thankfully.

By Whse. Fire llor?? Tank Car With Nitr? ?V . . -I Tlireatonod Fire which destroyed most of the roof section of a potato storage warehouse here this morning severely damaged some several thousand bushels of stored sweet-potatoes and threatened a railroad tank car nearby containing an estimated 4,000 gallons of highly explos ive liquid nitrogen. < The fire in the warehouse at the F. H. Allen Gin was be lieved to "hive started from a hot tar kettle left on the roof overnight by a roofing concern which was repairing the roof. Altogether there were tome IS to 16 thousand bushels of sweet potatoes stored In the warehouse. Local wo^unteer firemen, hampered by heavy smoke, -fought the blaze for some two hours In a steady downpour of rain before bringing the blase under control. Most of the da maged potatoes belonged to a Windsor concern and were being stored here. Spurring the efforts of fire men was the presence of a rail road tank car 'on a rail siding within some 10 to 12 feet of the burning tiulldlng that con tained an ? estimated 4,000 gallons of highly explosive liq uid nitrogen. Had the flames gotten to the car an explosion possibly could have been set off that would have caused wide spread damage -in the area. Allen was unable to give an estimate of the loss either to the building or stored contents at press time. The roof cover ing one entire section of the warehouse, however, was vir tually' destroyed and hundreds of bushels of potatoes' were baked well done. Both of the town'* fire en gines were pressed Into ser vice to combat the blaze. Fire men first on the scene report ed that they discovered a tar pot on the roof that had burned through and fallen partially through the roof.
