HASTEN ELDRIDGE
CONFESSES ROBBERY
Arrested, Admits He
Broke Into Reece
Barber Shop
Hasten Eldridge, 23, of this city,
has confessed to local police that he,
together with three other boys whose
names he didn't give, robbed the
Reece Barber Shop here Tuesday
night of cash amounting to slightly
over SIOO.
Eldridge was arrested in Winston-
Salem Thursday by Winston
police who were accompanied by E.
T. Reece, proprietor of the barber
shop, and Chief of Police W. G.
Church. He was found in the home
of a negro.
Lodged in the Winston-Salem jail,
he denied his guilt, but when
brought from that city Friday by
Mr. Reece and Policeman Luke Dar
nell, he confessed to the robbery
and waived a preliminary hearing.
Placed in jail at Dobson Fri
day, Eldridge declared that he
did not want bond. He stated he in
tended to plead guilty when tried
at the next term of superior court.
Winston police became suspicious
of the young man when he was seen
gambling heavily in that city Thurs
day, and notified local police. He
had no money on him when arrested.
The shop was robbed Tuesday
night, the men entering through a
rear window. They took the money
from a cash register.

TO LOSE FAT
How would you like to lose 15
pounds of fat in a month and at the
same time increase your energy and
improve your health?
How would you like to lose your
double chin and your too prominent
abdomen and at the same time
make your skin so clean and clear
that it will compel admiration?
Get on the scales today and see
how much you weigh—then get an
85 cent bottle of Kruschen Salts
which will last you four weeks. Take
one-half teaspoonful in a glass of
hot water every morning and when
you have finished the contents of
this first bottle weigh yourself again.
After that you'll want to walk
around and say to your friends—
"One 85 cent bottle of Kruschen
Salts is worth one hundred dollars
of any fat person's money."
Leading druggists America over
sell Kruschen Salts—You can al
ways get it.

PEOPLES' COLUMN
The Tribune does not necessar

heading bat welcomes at all times
communications of interest to its
readers and the general public.
EXPLAINS RELIEF WOQ£
Editor of The nikin Tribune:
May I offer a word of explanation
to the readers of your paper of
what we are trying to do for the
people in running a relief office of
today.
We are here to relieve suffering
as best we can with the allotment
of funds at our command. We in
vestigate conditions of those apply
ing for aid through the service of
case workers, committees and by
personal interviews and know very
well as a rule just where and how
to place the limited allotment of
funds where it will give most relief,
while others who judge hastily from
outward appearance think we make
mistakes while giving aid where
most needed. -
My official staff are well inform
ed, congenial and careful people
who obey orders, the only one of
which I ever give them with a
threat is the following: "If I should
find that ope of you should give or
refuse to give aid to anyone on ac
count of politics I will fire such
worker regardless of consequences."
The CWA is in part linked with
our office, so that we furnish 50
per cent of the CWA jobs from our
relief roll.
Last year we were told that the
giving of relief was our object in as
signing jobs, that the project was a
secondary matter, but today we are
told that the work project is also
an important matter, so much so
that when we have taken relief
families from our files for half the
jobs, that we shall requisition the
re-employment office for men who
have registered as unemployed for
the other 50 per cent of the men
for the project. These men are se
lected to fit the job, men who are
fitted to do the work needed. Ex
world war veterans have the prefer
ence.
These men work together on the
same project, so that the public
who have not informed themselves
as for the rules under which we are
working, but are of the opinion that
every dollar is given for relief with
out any consideration for the suc
cess of the project are continually
criticising.
We have all the patience in the
world with our critics, for I don't
know just how I would feel if I was
on the outside and misunderstood
the very strict orders under which
the office is operating.
Every penny disbursed by our of
fice must check three ways and
stand the test when checked up by
our auditors and inspectors.
Of course it is impossible to give
a job to 2000 men when there are
less than 500 jobs available, but I
am ready to hear all complaints and
to correct any possible mistakes
made by the F. E. R. A. or the C.
W. A. in my county, and invite any
uninformed or dissatisfied citizens
to confer with me on any matter
which concerns the Emergency Re
lief Administration of the Civil
Works Administration of Yadkin
County.
Respectfully submitted,
W. S. CHURCH, Administrator.
