G-MEN MAY
BE SUMMONED
WARNING FROM LIEUT. LAU
RO OF THE OCC CAMP
PERSONS MUST BE CARE
FU L ABOUT RECEIVING
STOLEN PROPERTY.
I
«'A tip to the wise at times is
sufficient, and it ii well wise :
this time to warn the citizens of'
I
this knd surrounding communi
ties of the danger attached to
{
buying Government articles 0.-
property that may be offered fo. 1
aale by individuals other than
Governmental agencies who, af
ter certain proceedings are au
tkorized by the law to dispose oi
property that has been condemn
ed/* I
This warning is given out by I
i
Lieut. Joseph V. Lauro, com
manding company 3422, CCC. j
Danbury, N. C.
Lieut. Lauro further states:
'The person that buys govern
mental property otherwise than
the authorized agencies uvty l.e
securing stolen P and
thus lays himself liable to the
offense of buying, receiving and
concealing stolen property and
can be prosecuted under state o.
federal laws. t,
"The local law enforcement
agencies o? this community are
composed of honest, competetu"
.■»e n under capable supervision of
Sheriff J. John Taylor, are at all
times endeavoring to safeguard
the citizen* but without the co
operation of the citizens the c
forts of the law officers are ii
vain. When this occurs, your
community is over run with pet
ty thievery and you have startec.
something that is hard to eradi
cate.
"The person who tries to ac
quire governmental property b.
soliciting a CCC enrollee to sell,
# w*ether shoes, clothing or other
wise, is not only aiding an.
»betting the commission of; . a
•rime, but he creates a demand
tot an article and gives the seil
m the opportunity t 0 start steal
ing to meet the demand. Thus
the innocent citizen hag started a
hoy off to a career of crime that
may lead to—who knows where?
'"A> individuals who fail to co
•perate with the authorities o:
Oie CCC Camp in maintain
ing a high standard of morale in
and around the community, who
not refrain from soliciting the
•lea of government property, be
Wned, that aid will be secured
the Federal Bureau of In
vestigation and State Govern
ment to eradicate this evil in
fluence.
''Traffic with a CCC enrollec
does the community no good; the
citizen should buy his wearing
apparel from a "local merchant
who carries o" a fair and legiti
mate business. It will circulate
money faster, aid business and
make a better community.
"The cooperation of the entiro'
citizenry of the community i 1
requested in creating a spirit in
the enrollee of becoming a useful,
honest, upright citizen, instead |

DELEGATION HERE MR
HACKETT'S FIRST TRIP T(,
COUNTY LEAVES OUR
PEOPLE PLEASED, BU'l
FULL OF DOUBTS TIC 1 i
PROPOSED GERMANTON
WALNUT COVE ROAD.
Coming to Danbury to meet i

provement of the highway i". .. j

i
trict Highway Commissions ,
Gcrdon Hackett of Wilkesboi •; 1
paid his fir*t visit to Danbur> 1
this week.
Our Stokes citizens were muc
pleased to have the commission- i
e r visit us, but he was able t. i
give them scant encouragemep.
as t G roads i n the near future.
He stated that tie county ha.
already received fur more thai,
its just allocation i.i the building
'of the wide concrete turn-pikt I
'vk Pinnacle and King which
Elme r Newsum has very approp
riately named the Lakes-to-
Florida highway. Thi s roa
-1 which skirts the southern edge
of the county, is charged up tc
Stokes road programs in tlu
amount of $450,000. This of
course includes several expensive
bridges.
| A large delegation met Mr.
i Hackett here and asked for the
rebuilding and hardsurfacing
the road which leads from
I Meadows township, a mile no-'ti.
jof Gennanton, via the Lawson
place and othe r points down
close to the A. & if. railroad t».
Walnut Cove, entering the latter
place and intersecting with No
-89 at Fulton's store in Walniu
Cove. Mr. Hackett was unable
to make any definite promise*
with reference to this road ex
cept thlat he would put it on th.
map for the earliest considera
tion possible, and would sen
engineers to re-locate it. Tno
proposed highway serves a largo
■ number of citizens between Ger
man ton and Walnut Cove, and
is a -very important road. During
bad weather, lying o n bottom c
lowlands largely, it becomes al
most impassable, and at me
present time is in a wretuic-«
condition in many places.
Aurora Borealis
Tuesday Night
The aurora borealis shone Tues
day night in all its grand ana
solemn beauty. This spectacle
which excites the wonder and ad
miration of mankind, has never
been jtatisfactorily explained,
though there are various theories
as to its origin. It is popularly
supposed to be the reflection ol
the sun's rays o n the polar reg
ions of ice.
I Science says it is of electrical
origin. The electron, which is •»
natural unit of negative electric
ity, is supposed t Q be in play In
the heavens, producing the phe
nomenon.
