Delights Hearers
President’s Report Will Be Pub
lished In Next Issue Of
The Courier.
The annua) Chamber of Commerce
dinner held on Valentine evening in
the dining room of the First Metho
dist church decaSatsA hsnriawBely foe
the occasion was a delightfully pro
fitable community event. Dr. 0. L.
Presnell, president of the organiza
tion, was master of ceremonies until
he turned the office over to the in
coming president, Francis White.
Beginning with the singing of
America, Larry Hammond led the
group with Mrs. Miriam Burns at
the piano. Dr. R. S. Truesdale led in
prayer which was the last of the
preliminaries before the dinner was
served.
T h e entertainment furnished
throughout the dinner was unusual
ly delightful. Mrs. Murray Field
and Miss Bobby Gene Truesdale were
soloists, with W. iT. Truesdale, vio
linist, adding further to the musical
program. He was accompanied by
Mrs. Gilbert Powell, of Greensboro.
Mrs. Cleveland Thayer gave an ori
ginal poem by request, ‘The Home
Town Tragedy.”
William Underwood introduced the
speaker of the evening, Dr. H. E.
Spence, head of the school of reli
gion, of Duke University. The bur
den of the speech dealt with the
fact that with increased privileges
of modem day living, come increased
opportunities for community service
for such organisation as the Cham
ber of Commerce. This organisation
represents the forward business men
and women of the community, there-1
fore the speaker pointed out many
and varied Helds for service. Es
pecially did he stress the work and
opportunities in child training, in
industry, in polities and in religion.
He also mentioned the changed sta
tus of women hood as a factor of com
munity life today. The speech was
pregnant with the meaning and for
ward thought, but in no way heavy,
for Dr. Spence is one of the wittiest
speakers that has ever been brought
before the Asheboro Chamber of
Commerce for a dinner speech.
Dr. PresneU’B report of the years
work is a concrete summary of the
activities of the organization and
will be published in toto in the next

Modern Store Near
Completion In Chief
Business District
The old home of the Asheboro
Bank and Trust company, located in
Depot street, has been completely
transformed during recent weeks and
is nearing completion as a store
building. When officials of the bank
sold the building sometime ago, three
business men of the county pur
chased it for an investment. The
owners are, E. M. Kearns, J. M.
Caviness and J. W. Lambert.
These three men have spared no
exipense in fitting out the place as
a modern store building and it is
now charming throughout. From the
outside view of modernistic windows,
by position as well as outlined with
silver and black, give the first idea
of a smartly up-to-date place. In
side, as well, the modemistie idea is
carried out in cases, shelves and
coloring.
It is expected that the building
will be completed within a few days
Bank Of Biscoe Is
Robbed By Two Men
Noon Wednesday
Two unmasked men, approxi
mately thirty years old, held up
the two employees of the Bank of
Biscoe at noon Wednesday. Ac
cording to X K Maness, cashier
of the bank, two men came into
the bank and while one of the
men covered the two workers with
guns, the second man raked up the
loose change not i£~ the bank
vault and made good their escape.
The cash missing will amount to
be tween $500.00 and $1,000.00.
As soon as the robber got the
money both men hurried to a
green Chevrolet car parked in
front of the bank and fled, but
not before Mr. Maness shot six
times at the car. Someone on the
street also fired at the speeding
ear and another bystander saw one
of the men grab his shoulder as
if he had been struck hy a bullet.
Mr. Maness further stated that
more than one bullet went into the
bock of the ear.
The robbers fled north on high
way Tt, toward Asheboro, where
police were alert for their arrival.
As ws gs to press, however, the
mm were still at largo.

Officers Intend To
Protect Robins Now
Nesting In County
W. C. Lisk, District Warden.
And State Agent Aiding
Tebe Morgan, Warden.
Terms Of Treaty
Robins, Formerly Nest As Far
South As Virginia, Here In
Vast Numbers.
W. L. Birsch, United States {fame
management agent, of Washington,
D. C., with headquarters in Washing
ton, North Carolina, was in Asheboro
and various places in Randolph coun
ty on Tuesday. Mr. Birsch was with
District Game Warden W. C. Lisk,
■Who is well known in Randolph. Mr.
Birsch came to the county at the
request of Mr. Lisk and the county
warden, Tebe Morgan, for the pur
pose of assisting in the protection of
the vast numbers of robins that are
stopping in the county
According to the wardens, there
are few robins nesting habitually in
.North Carolina. Virginia is as far
qSu^h as they ustiaify come, but in
the winter of they came . to
western Randolph in throngs and
again the past two weeks these
birds are visitors in our county. They
are nesting a short distance south
of Franklinville covering an area of
a mile and a half wide and three
miles long. During the day they
roam for many miles, foraging for
food, but return at sunset to this
selected spot.
Mr. Birsch explains that he is here
to assist in the protection of the
robitts and calls attention to the
fact that molesting these birds make
a traitor of the United States, rather
than holding this crime as a personal
offense. Years ago a treaty was made
with Great Britain concerning robins
and wild ducks, therefore the offic
ers insist that people consider the
matter from this standpoint of in
ternational honor.
There are three classes of hunters,
according to Mr. Birsch. The sports
men come under the first classifica
tion and are people who hunt for
the love of the sport therefore they
take the trouble to familiarize them
selves with the rules of the field and
stream and keeps them accordingly.
The second class is the business man
who hunts once or twice a year and
violates the law inadvertently from
lack of information. The thiid class
is the one for whom the officers
are unhesitatingly “laying”—the
wilful law violators.
It is the intention of these tree
officers together with their under
cover helpers to protect these birds
and when “Uncle Bill” Lisk decides
upon a matter, it is as well as done.
The officers ask the cooperation of
each citizen of the county in this
matter, however rather than have
unpleasant dealings related to the
matter.
