Edith K. Benedict f nnoooOQBOQQflBfigflfltt&.& Bad With The Good: Sometimes we are sure that readers think nothing bad ever happens here, that all our citizens are lovely, chari table people who never speak a cross word, that all our homes are attractive (especi ally the yards) and that everyone is 'aw abiding. Wish this were true, but unfortunately it isn't, and this brings me around to a subject which will shatter the illusion that our town is per fect. For the second time this summer the office of Dr. H. R. Miller has been forcibly entered and something taken. In June the small cash box was lifted with cash and checks amounting to around S 2 0 0. Someone familiar with the arrangement in re gard to the handling of cash must have been responsible, for entry was through the front door, nothing else was disturbed. Tuesday night of last week J l the office was again broken . into, this time via the Mid- ] land Ave. entrance. No cash \ was available so a typewriter , and Thermofax machine were , taken. This was not the ] work of a youngster, some- j one knew what to do with the , office machines. Supposed- , iy the robbery took place dur- , ing the severe storm of Tues- ] day night. Local police are j working on the case but no , one has been charged, as of , today, (Thursday). ] Drag racing continues, to c the distress of those who live i in the section of town where i it occurs. Police say they 1 are continuing work, but with c one car which must patrol 1 uptown sections, also, and < the fact that the section t around the lake is part town- « part county, makes the task 1 doubly' difficult. All that t can be done in the meantime t is hope and pray that no one i is involved in an accident of s a serious nature. f This seems to be only a r small segment of the same 1 problem plaguing other parts c of the country. It may or i NOW WHAT DID 'COME IN HERETO^ 7} JUST LOOK AROUND . . . toothpaste, cos metics, vitamins, first aid, films . . . there is always something you need from KNIGHT'S PHARMACY. Every Prescription Carefully Compounded By A Registered Pharmacist t l f t I c f r 1 c t t L ,( 0 n P ii t L v c r c d t ii 1 C f a V c may not be local persons The wanton destruction oi car tops to pain entry at all local motels one Saturday night recently was the work of a gang which apparentlj struck here, moved on, and continued their scavaging along- Tunnel Road where numerous motels line the road. Apparently more petty thievery goes on than is ever reported and this, too, is a mistake. Every item stolen should be reported because sometimes these things tie in, giving clues w-hich may lead to the apprehension of ;he violator. Puzzler: The real headache these lays, the one which “bugs” jverybody, is the timing of he traffic lights. Everyone igrees that we need the lights, otherwise the cross lighway traffic w'ould never tain entry to State Street, ind all are unanimous in igreeing that pedesarians leed consideration, but how he pesky things can be tim 'd so that everyone is ac ommodated is a real pro >lem and this is why. If he lights are left on long nough to take ALL through own traffic, the side streets ,nd pedestrians are kept too ong and as Carl Bowness minted out “one polite driv er and two careless one can nake it across State Street”. }y the same token one line f trotting pedestrians may nake it, too. Believe us, it sn’t that the lights haven’t men tried in almost every 1,1 nAmKinaf ir»r> tVlPV ave. State engineers visit d here last Monday to study he problem, so have patience, omewhere there is a solution, letter timing to synchronize he lights for a set speed hrough the three could speed p movement; Edna Konrad uggests this and it sounds ractical. It isn’t funny the umber of large trucks that ave found that they can odge one light by turning at lurgess’ Esso, traveling Sut on, and going up South Rid eway. This places a heavy urden on an already con ested street, especially at rain time, lore Rumor: Although the connection : n my “grapevine” is a little aulty these days I do hear uniors of the old Black lountain Hardware site being ccupied by another, such : lerchant, then a contradict ion to the effect that it will e only a builder’s supply, omeone whispered that an ther upholstery shop will pen soon there is a man round here who makes lount-watering lime chiffon ies who might be consider lg the opening of a bakery, lat is interesting Sarah ee’s reported having trouble •ith teenage girls damaging lothing in the dressing Dorns.... .sounds like hoe own music coming from the ireetion of the shopping cen _*r where we may be danc lg soon_ a news release ist in states that Evelyn 'avlor will be GENERAL HAIRMAN for the Congres onal Wives’ Prayer Break ast to be held in February t the Mayflower Hotel in ’ashington.... must have aught Evelyn at a weak mo FORD DEALER UNREATARLES! 1960 Falcon Station Wagon 1960 Comet Station Wagon 1963 Falcon Fordomatic, low mileage 1956 Fords-Ihree lo choose from 1959 Edsel 1960 Rambler 1962 International Truck, 1 - ton winch with slake bed. * Teas In "Tbe *»da| Nwf* featuring Sammy Bland, brought io you Mon., Wed., and Fri. mornings by your Noth Carolina Ford Dealers: Mni ire.want )M.

C. License NO. 2289 & 2289A—Franchised Dealer UPPER CEDAR CREEK COMMUNITY By Bessie Elliott Davis Mr. and Mrs. Buddy Wilkes and family of West Monroe, La., were welcome visitors in the community and in our home last week. Their Uncle Wise returned home with them, hut the McKaskels, Mrs. Wilkes father and mother, ment for we know, as much as she enjoyed working with other women in her capacity as decorations chairman for the past two years, this un dertaking before her will re quire many hours of exact ing work. Promoter: Really, we don't care about everyone knowing where we go when we tell of something we have found interesting in our roaming; we are inter ested in your knowing, those of you who may be new here. So many of our lovliest spots are not widely advertised and for that reason are at tractive because the natural beauty is nndisturbed. This bit of information is hot off the press. After a successful run on the TV cir cuit, the movie made by the Bennett Advertising Agency for the Department of Con servation and Development featuring Andy Griffith and vacation attractions from the mountains to the beach is ready for release. The title is “State of Enchantment” and by writing Sterling Mov ies U.S.A., 43 West frist Street, New York 23, N. Y. 1 the movie may be had for group showing free of charge. Sounds like an ex cellent suggestion for a club program if you’re short on ideas and would like a vaca tion trip from your arm chair this winter sometime. ; will wait until October sc they can see the trees ir color. Our Pastor. Rev. Clark Mc Kinney and wife dug our potatoes last week as an ac comodation to Jimmy while he is unable to walk. Rev.

State University, now employed in Nuclear Engin eering near Washington. Mr. and Mrs. John Mc Kaskle are visiting at Spin dale with their daughter and her husband. Charles E. Davis.

TIP JOHNSON Your Telephone Manager A PARTY-LINE USER should be a very special type of person. He should be considerate and under standing, recognizing the rights of others. He should realize the value of telephone service. It represents immediate contact with friends, relatives and loved ones, with the police force, with the family doctor. A Party-line user should regulate the use of this telephone. Yes, a party-line user is a special kind of person. DO YOU QUALIFY? * * * * * THIS IS THE NEW TOUCH TONE PHONE . . . with buttons instead of a dial, and musical tones for each signal sent! The new phone has undergone two years of testing, and users are so enthusiastic it will be introduced to the public on a limited basis some time in the next couple of years. One of its chief advantages is faster dialing ... as one test-user said, “It’s like magic!” The Touch Tone Phone—another result of continuing Bell System research and development. ***** FROM LUXURY TO NECESSITY . . . that’s the kind of progress your telephone has made. Back in the late 1800’s when telephones were first coming into use, a phone call anywhere at all was a big event! Today, phone calls are as much a part of life as going to work in the morning, or sending the children off to school. A telephone call is no longer a major project! It’s simply an easy, pleasant, low-cost way to get things done, keep friendships warm, stay in touch with the world. Use your telephone ... for all it’s worth. ***** TEEN-AGERS ARE SPECIAL PEOPLE! (Any one of them will be glad to tell you so!) They have special prob lems and needs and likes and dislikes. If you have teens in your house, why not consider giving them the privacy and sense of importance provided by an extension phone of their very own. It’ll be good for them, and for the rest of the family, too.
