(Daily Record photo by Bill Biggs). Roger Crowes Firm Continues To Grow Wften Beggf “Crowe came to Dunn back In 1946 and opened a Mall Saw Store, the wise boys told him he had made a mistake. Even some of his close friends predicted that the busi ness couldn’t survive and that it wouldn’t be long before he’d be heading back to his old stamping grounds at 96, S. C. But they didn’t know Roger Crowe as well as they thought they did. Today, the Crowe Equipment Company is one of Dunn’s most progressive and fastest - growing busness firms. A few weeks ago, Crowe opened a new branch in Charlotte. Already, branches had been opened and are making a success in Winston-Salem and Henderson. RAPID GROWTH No longer is Roger Crowe’s saw business located In a hole-in-the wall. and no longer is it just a saw business. He's added a complete line of tools and equipment. His operations extend over several states. The Dunn businessman who grew up in the logging woods back in South Carolina today recalled his early years of struggling with mix ed '^motions—happy and proud of the progress he's made and equally happy that those hard years are behind him. "As a matter of fact.” recalled Mr. Crowe for a Daily Record re porter today, “I came to Dunn by accident.” PIONEERED IN FIELD But to get back to the beginning, Roger was born in Woodruff, S. C„ son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Rob ert Lf/j Crowe. His father was a farmer and lumberman so he Just naturally grew up in the business. He and his brothers ordered one of the first chain saws ever seen (Continned On Pare Two' Circus Lion Kills Nine-Year-Old Girl MENA, Ark (IFI A half-grown circus Hon clawed and chewed a nine-year-old girl to death here last night while her screams mingled with the noise of the Big Top and went unnoticed.

OC TOBER 31, 1951 Kellys Hold Reunion At County Seat Recently it Kelly’s Drug Store in Lillington where ques tions and answers are dispens ed as rapidly as drinks at the soda fountain, a serviceman dropped by, asking about an apartment. “My name is Leo Kelly,” he said, taking out his driver’s card which shewed he was from Cleveland, O “So Is mine,” replied drug store worker Leo Kelly. They soon found they had things in common beside the same name. They both have one son and one daughter. Both sons are named Leo, Jr. Lillington Leo found Cleve land Loo an apartment at the former residence of Mrs. J. C. Thompson which has been con verted into apartments. But there were more surprises in store for the newcomer. When he returned to the drug store to say thanks for help in his house-hunting, Lil lington Leo informed him that his next door tenant in the apartment would be—yes, H. D.

DRAGGEN OUT BY LEG The animal suddenly lashed out with a paw and slashed the girl’s face. He jumped to the opening and drove his teeth in her neck, then dragged her outside by a leg. , Attendants at the show were close by, but none of them‘noticed the lion mangling the child until the animal had fatally clawed and chewed the little girl. "The trainers were trying to beat him off with sticks.” an attendant said, “but they finally had to pry his jaws open." Dr. Henry Rogers rushed to the cage, but the girl was dying. She was taken to Polk County Hospital and was pronounced dead 30 min utes later. Her grandmother. Louise de Cum s (Continued an page two) Wxt JJailtj Tito Pledges Support To United States BELGRADE. (UP) Marshal Tito said today that military strong Yugoslavia is ready to stand alongside the United States and the West should Russia attack. Tito, in his first press confer ence in two years, said Yugo slavia, aided by U. S. military aid, was rushing her rearmament to match the military strength of the four Russian satellites on her bor ders. NO IMMEDIATE DANGER Dressed in a light gray uniform with scarlet lapels and gold encrusted shoulder boards, he also: Said the danger of war “does act ually exist.” But there appears to be no immediate danger and war could be prevented by strength. 2. Condemned the five-power con ference proposed by the Soviet as “aimed at destroying the U. N.” 3. Said Yugoslavia wants closer and more friendly ties with the Vatican but would not allow any inter ference from the outside from any one “including the Vatican.” 4. Said Yugoslavia hoped for bet ter relations with European nations outside the Soviet orbit-especially with neighboring Greece, Turkey and Italy. > NO NEUTRALITY 5. Said “there can be no neu trality for any country in Europe any more. The question of aggres sion in Europe is indivisibile.” He said Hungry, Bulgaria, Ro mania and Albania now have a total of 859.000 men under arms. And if para-military police were included this total rose to about 1,000,000. Asked what the U. S. will re ceive in return for military aid, Tito said: FRIENDLY ALLY “The United States has already received part of its return over the past few years. Yugoslavia’s resistance to the Soviet Union was not purely a Yugoslav matter, but It also defneded the peace. “The Yugoslav army helped nrt| only America, but also all coun tries in Europe who wished to de velop equally. “As a result, America now has a friendly country on her sid« on whom she can count if aggres sion should break out, and if any aggressor should attempt to en slave America or any other na tion. This Is an important fact which should not be forgotten.” Russia is arming her satellites with a “force which threatened both our country and world peace,” Tito said, but pending U. S. arms aid will help to reverse this situa tion. *’ 'fWWW First Concert Event Staged First in the series of five pro grams sponsored by the Campbell College Concert Association, La Traviata, presented last night, gave the Opera to residents of this sec tion. many of whom can afford neither t'ie tiro* nor the expense to see grand opera at the Metropol- j ,itan level.

Better eare for the sick in Harnett County is envisioned by the Federal Security Agency as part of a broad plan, just announced, to unify the services offer ed by health departments and general hospitals throughout the country. The plan was drawn up after Ihe American Hospital Association and th£»American Public Health Association draw attention to the fact that in the intersets of economy, efficiency and superior health service, the hospital and the health department must be “integrated* into a unity.” In Harnett County, as in other parts of the country, the local health department would be established in or close to the general hospital area. This linkage would give the two services the joint use of expensive and specialized diagnostic equipment and would enable each to share the professional personnel of the other. In organizing the plan, note was taken of existing fa cilities as well us geographical and population problems- Harnett County would be set up as a unit that would include Sampson County. The unit would provide “mini mum’’ standards of a public health physician for every 50,000 people, a public health nurse for every 5,000 and a - sanitarian and a clerk for each 15,000. STAFF OF 33 The personnel requirements in the local unit, under these standards, would be 2 public health physicians, 18 nurses, 6 sanitarians, and 6 clerks. The total, 32, is an in crease of 18 over the 14 employed during the base year of The cost of maintaining this augmented service would require an annual budget of $152,000, far more than in 1947. The FSA state* that its proposal in no way consti tutes a “mandatory Blueprint ” It is an attempt to achieve coordination througß a pooling of resources to make im proved health available in all areas. Rape Charge Reduced, Corn Thief Sentenced Harnett Recorder’s Court ad journed shortly after noon yester day after clearing a docket in which there were few contested cases and many amended pleas were accepted.

(Continued on page two) FIVE CENTS PER COPY Early Demand Abandoned By Commies PANMUNJOM, Korea. (UP) Communist truce negotiators threw a surprise bombshell today by propos ing a compromise battle front cease-fire line which comes close to meeting Unit-, ed Nations demands. The Red proposal was regarded} here as (he most hopeful develop ment since the armistice talks be gan last July 10. A U. N. communique said the Communists abandoned their ear lier demand for an Bth Army with drawal of up to 15 miles, and sub mitted the surprise new proposal at a meeting of the joint armistice subcommittee. “U. N. command representatives .... took it under study to deter mine tile details and their signifi cance,” the communique said. The negotiators presumably will give their reply at a subcommittee meeting at 11 a. m. Thursday 9 p. m. today EST. The communique said the Red proposal provided for a cease-fire line and buffer zone "based on a slightly altered Communist version of the line of ground battle con tact.” NEAR AGREEMENT The U. N. already has prososed that the cease-fire line roughly follow the present battleline, and Allied officers had said earlier that there is near agreement on the line of contact. However, the new proposal would leave Kaesong, site of the Com munist truce delegation’s vase camp and historic gateway to Seoul, in Red territory. The U. N. wants to Include Kae song In 200 square miles of largely uncontested territory which it sug gestes the Reds give up in exchange for 200 square miles of east Korean terrain won by the Bth Army in battle. The U. N. argued it needed Kaesong to cover the approaches to Seoul. Erwin Workers Facing Action RALEIGH IIP —The State Su -1 preme Court ru’ed today that six Erwin Mills strikers who violated a Superior Court injunction last May will have to face contempt proceedings. The high court’s decision in ef fect upheld Judge Clawson L. Wil liams’ right to try the strikers, all members of the Textile Workers Union of America. on charges of violating a restraining order which directed them not to try to inter fere with operations of a strike bound Erwin Mills plant. The Supreme Court opinion said although regulation of strikes for higher wages is closed to state I courts, they still have "traditional police and injunctive power over violence and unlawful conduct com mitted during a strike." The strikers were Davis Holt Mor rison. Ira Matthews, Jr., William Poindexter, Ellis Coats.
