UNIVERSAL-INTERNATIONAL presMt^ William 1 POWELL1 Shelley WINTERS MARSHA HUNT JAMES GLEASON DOROTHY HART Vast Amounts Illegal Liquor Come Into State WINSTON-SALEM ? Three fourth of the illegal whisky pour- i ed into North Carolina this year went to the "dry" Piedmont area and one-third of the liquor was consigned directly to the Greens boro-High Point - Winston-Salem area. State ABC Chairman R. W. Winston reported at Raleigh that 99 per cent of illegal shipments of $151,624.5 gallons of liquor allegedly consigned to 30 opera tors in North Carolina during the first six months of 1949 was ship ped to prohibition counties. Only 1,533 gallons of the whisky went to ABC counties?900 gal lons to Wilson, he said. The rest was used to wet down "dry" coun ties. North Wilkesboro was the larg est whisky receiving town, getting 26,847 gallons?one sixth of the ;llegal liquor traced to North Car olina. Hie fact that the small town got so much whisky does not mean, however, that all of it was consumed in North Wilkes boro, which, with many other small towns, is believed to have been a distribution center. High Point was second on the whisky list with 23,878.8 gallons. Winston-Salem, where police have conducted a long battle with big time holders of Federal whole sale liquor permits, had but 2, 331.4 gallons listed, but the ABC board noted part of Greensboro's 18.051 gallons as going on to Winston-Salem. Consignments of liquor to small towns near large cities were no ticeable. Such distribution sys tems make it increasingly diffi cult for city police to disrupt bootleg networks across the State, it was explained. Prime example of the system is Ronda, a small town near Elkin, which received 11,714.6 gal lons, very little of which was consumed in the town itself. Although shipments of 9,160,2 gallons were consigned to Ashe ville, which has a city ABC sys tem, they were believed to have gone outside into "dry" Bun combe County. Points to which the liquor was purportedly consigned, were: Greensboro, 18,061 gallons; Morganton, 903; North Wilkes boro, 26,847.8; Forest City, 10, 702.8; Concord, 1,299.6; Hickory, 3,267.6; Winston-Salem, 2,331.4; Lumberton, 9,230.4; Garland, 5, 698.2; Burlington, 4,221.2; States ville, 7,321.8; Asheboro, 2,035.2; Creedmoor, 3,078.6; High Point, 23,878.8; Ronda, 11,714.6; Morven, 3,747.6; Spray, 1,112.4; Kerners ville, 1,626.9; St. Paul, 3,862.4; Asheville, 9,160.2.

Deer Prefers Spaghetti To Normal Deer Fare Clarksburg, Gal.?Bambl, a spaghetti-eating deer has de serted the ways of the wild for the customs of civilization. * The one-year-old buck, who was found near starvation by Mrs. Emil Geigle, now snubs his nose at berries and tender green leaves. Instead he prefers such robust bill of fare as spaghetti, meatballs and good strong garlic. The omnivorous Bambi so far has not taken a stand on the edi bility of venison. rj ;j & I?H?ItfeYMM* l*?J LIN BUMGARNER 3 Miles West on Highway 421 >hone 26-F-21, North WQkesbor Scouts Hike Oyer Grandfather Mtn.

The troop hit the trail at 9:40 and finished the trek at 2:00 P. M. at the western entrance. The entire hike was made in dense fog which swirled about the peak obscuring the beautiful autumn foliage of the Blue Ridge range. Scouts making the hike were Gordon Forester, Jr., senior pa trol leader, Johnny Winkler, Pete Caudill, Bobby Woo ten, Jimmy Swofford, Thomas Finley, Hyatt Gibbs, Terry Wayland, and Slam my Zimmerman. The troop was in charge of C. D. Coffey, m, act ing scoutmaster, accompanied by R. S. Gibbs and R. N. Wooten.
