Hatred is active, and envy pass ! ive dislike; there is but one step 1 from envy to hate.—Goethe Woman Elected to City Council; Breaks Precedent Burglars Sought For Break*lns Local officers and members of the Wake County Sheriff’s Depart ment are still continuing investi gations of break-ins which oc curred last Wednesday night of two business establishments in Zebulon. Officers reported that the Pure Oil firm, owned and operated by R. Wesley Liles, and Beck Bros. Veneer Plant were both entered some time Wednesday night. Liles reported to local authori ties that when he went to his plant Thursday morning he found the locks sawed and beaten off, officers said. Upon entering his business house, he found the desks and files had been pillaged and ransacked, and $4 had been taken from the cash drawer. The thieves had either over looked or disregarded about 100 pennies in the cash drawer, officers said. Liles reported that no gas, oil or tires were missing. Alvin Beck of the Beck Bros, firm reported to local officers that thieves had gained entrance into the plant after damaging the locks. Beck told officers three screw drivers, a couple of pipe wrenches and a pair of rubber gloves were missing. He stated that the objects were valued at approximately $25. In their investigation, officers found one rubber glove in the Beck plant and the matching rub ber glove in the Pure Oil plant. Deduction led them to believe that the burglary v. as done the same night. Local officers called in finger print experts from tin Wake County Sheriff’s Department to as sist with the investigation.
