About a couple of weeks ago, so the story was brought to us, Clemen Johnson decided to indulge in his favorite recreation—fox hunting. So he packed up his dogs and started out to J. J. Murray’s place where he planned to join forces with Murray’s dogs for a real day of hunting. As he came through Emit, be tween Selma and Zebulon, his keen ears picked up the sweet music of fox hounds hot on a trail. Clemen came to a screeching stop and be gan asking questions. “Yep,” he Peoples Bank Deposits Grow; Past Year Sees Two Million Dollar Gain The statement of Peoples Bank & Trust Company, published on page three of this issue, shows de posits in the bank of nearly nine teen million dollars for December 31, 1951, an increase of nearly 2Vfe million dollars in the past twelve months. According to the statement, Peo ples Bank now has $18,960,551.40 in deposits. In December 1950 de-| posits amounted to $16,638,292.77. This shows an increase of $2,322,- 258.63 for the year. The increase in deposits in Peo ples Bank, one of the faster grow ing banking houses in the state, resulted from better business con ditions than predicted by some e conomists or increased savings by the general public. Wendell Cagers Defeat Wakelon; i Knightdale Keeps on Rolling Along Wendell High School’s basket-] ball teams won both ends of a doubleheader from Wakelon at the Wendell gymnasium Friday night, the boys grabbing a 62-45 game and the girls winning by 38-25. After trailing by only one point at halftime, Coach Jim Fish’s boys fell far behind in the third quar ter, .scoring only 5 points while Coach Harry Helmer’s team got twenty-five, to trail 45-24. The local five outscored Wendell in the final stanza, but lost by 17 points. Bailey with 14 points led Wakelon. , was told, “W. J. Wilder’s dogs have jumped a fox and sure are , having a time!” Without wasting another word, ' Clemen took off for J. J. Murray’s, 1 got him to load up his dogs, and 1 Johnson and Murray and two 1 packs of excited hounds headed 1 back to Emit. Off They Went i Clemen turned his dogs loose, : we §re told, and they picked up i the trail and off they went, their throaty voices joining Wilder’s i pack and bringing folks from all over the countryside to see + he chase. The cry of the hounds grew higher and louder, and the hunters knew the fox was treed. There were over 200 cars of excited folks winding over the country roads in an effort to keep up with the chase. The cars pulled to a dusty stop, and cheers went up as the hunters j advanced through the briars to find the fox. Caught a Cow But the excitement quickly i turned to side-splitting laughter when the hunters found the dogs 1 barking at a red-nosed cow instead of a fox, and one of Clemen John-' son’s dogs was nipping at the cow’s red nose. Johnson’s pack redeemed them selves Thursday of last week, how ever, when they returned to the scene of their prior downfall and led a hunt which resulted in the capture of three foxes near Dixie. That’s the story our reporter I brought in. The local girls trailed all the ! way in dropping the opener to the neighboring school. Juanna Joy Mitchell was the offensive star for Wakelon, and Kat Baker star red on defense. The undefeated Knightdale boys rolled to an easy 49-29 victory ov er Apex Friday night, while the Knightdale girls came from behind to defeat the Apex girls, 41-39. In a non-conference double header Rolesville girls lost to Bunn by 51-39, and the Rolesville boys lost to the Bunn boys, 59-42. Zebulon, N. C., Tuesday, January 15, 1952 Senator Kefauver Investigates Vice In New York City By Estes Kefauver For sheer drama, for wholesale peeling back of deceptive camou flage, the New York City open hearings were the climax of the Senate Committee’s crime hunt. Our final judgment on Am bassador William O’Dwyer’s offi cial conduct when he was Kings County district attorney and then mayor of New York, was this . . Neither he nor his ap pointees took any effective action against the top echelons of the gambling, narcotics, waterfront, murder or bookmaking rackets. In fact, his actions impeded prom ising investigations of such rack ets.” O’Dwyer was questioned close ly in connection with his handling, as district attorney, of the whole sale homicide ring known as Mur der, Inc. A former O’Dwver ap pointee Frank C. Bals, one-time chief investigator for District At torney O’Dwyer and later the sev enth deputy police commissioner when O’Dwyer was mayor, was severely castigated by Senator To bey. Murder. Inc. The controversy was whether O’- and Bals had mishandled the case in such a manner as to permit Albert (Umberto) Anasta sia, alleged boss of the murder ring, to escape prosecution. Murder, Inc., which the gang sters themselves called “The Com bination,” was a tightly run crime syndicate which police believe was responsible during the ’thirties for assissinating between 120 and 130 persons throughout the country. It has been charged publicly that An astasia directed its execution branch and that Joe Adonis was a top leader. Informer Killed , The operations of Murder, Inc., finally came to light when, through confessions of underlings, police obtained iron-clad evidence against Abe (Kid Twist) Reles, who later admitted he actually carried out the murders under Anastasia’s or ders. Reles made a deal with O’- Dwyer to turn informer in ex change for leniency. Information he gave sent eight men to the chair and some 50 others to pris on. But before Kid Twist could testi fy against Anastasia, who was eluding arrest, the informer met a mysterious death. Reles was under (Continued on Page 4) MEN WHO BUILT LIGHTING SYSTEM ■ wB * w H ■ WHS wgg - v kB jsiji ' r ,/ t-*. jNjjpf JSjP Ed Kitchings and his crew of construction workers, pictured above, worked Sqndays and holidays as well as regular duty periods the past fall installing the local street lighting system.

Agent Cites Huge Wake Polio Cost As Drive Begins The Wake County Chapter of the National Foundation for In fantile Paralysis spent $21,765.55 to assist a total of 72 polio pa tients last year, it was revealed today by Mrs. Elise M. Walker, Chapter Chairman. Making public the 1951 finan cial report of W. R. Rand, Chap ter Treasurer, Mrs. Walker de clared that services made possi ble through funds raised in the 1951 March of Dimes underlined the need for a successful 1952 drive. The 1952 campaign, which will extend from January 15 through January 31, has $30,000 as the goal for the Wake County. “The record of what has been done makes us all eager to con tinue and to expand this work as needed,” she said. “Unfortunate ly, even if we had no cases of in fantile paralysis in our county in 1952, there remains much to be done for patients stricken in 1951 or before. Os the 72 patients aid ed in 1951, 61 were old cases, 11 new ones. The toll of polio con tinues on into the next year or years.” The report showed that $11,828.- 42 was expended for hospitaliza tion of polio patients whose fam ilies could not afford full cost of care themselves. The sum of $387.34 went for administrative costs. No Paid Workers Mr. Rand pointed out that are no expeditures for paid work ers in the Foundation’s work in the county, except for the auditor who i checks the books once a year. The bulk of the fee paid for the audit is returned as a contribution to the Foundation, he added. The Wake County March of Dimes last year raised $36,118.- 51, of which 50% was retained for local services and 50% sent to na tional headquarters for its scienti fic research and professional edu cation programs, as well as emer gency aid to Chapters. The nation al office supplements local funds when high incidence wipes out lo cal resources. During the year $4,- 975.00 was received in emergency aid by the Chapter, Mrs. Walker said, and the Chapter begins 1952 with $4,319.79 in unpaid bills. Wake County’s expenditures in polio treatment in the past three years, fortunately, have been rel atively small. In order to help care for the rec ord number of cases in Wake dur ing the last seven months of 1946, the national headquarters advanc ed the county $46,352.63, which was far in excess of the dimes contri butions that had been made to that year’s campaign. Woodrow Jeffries Is New Jail's First Inmate The dubious honor of being the first overnight guest of the new jail cells in Zebulon’s municipal building wen’ to Woodrow Jef fries, colored, of Route 3, Zebulon, who was locked up Saturday night by policeman M. G. Crowder for public drunkenness. The jail is divided with two cells for colored containing four bunks each on the east side of the building and three cells for white containing two bunks each on the west side. Both compartments open into the office which will used by the police department.
