He dutlined . some of the objectives of this inter- - denominational group of Christian . lavmen and cited some niirnificanr pi. samples of the movement's efforts to apply religious principles in what is so often termed secular living. For example., leaders of labor and man agement have been brought together repeatedly where they could sit down at the same table and in the light of Christian principles try to dissolve their differences, and discover what is the' right thing to do sfether than what they have felt was 'expedient for each side. Belief in and practice of prayer to help to build and preserve a Peaceful world found definite expression when this organization of laymen sent Dr. r ranK uaubach to raris last year for the purpose of organizing prayer groups and thus bring to bear Chris tian principles in the minds of the leaders of the nations assembled there for weeks in the interest of peace.

The position as athletic director at Perquimans High School has heen vacant since the resignation of Dave Fuller, who entered the Navy in 1942. The coaching since that date has been handled by Max Campbell, editor of The Perquimans Weekly, who assisted the school officials dur ing the years when a teacher-coach was unavailable.

Owens is continuing an investigation of the attempted theft of meat from a smokehouse owned by H. A. Turner of the Ni- canor community, at which time a shotgun, set as a boobv trap, explod ed. Evidence gathered thus far by Sheriff Owens supports belief that. Wayland White, Jr., of Belvidere will be arrested and charged with the at tempted theft. The Sheriff was called to the Tur ner residence late last week to in vestigate the attempted theft, and upon evidence gathered, discovered that White was admitted to a Suf folk, Va., hospital late Thursday night suffering from a shotmjn wound in which the charge had en tered the right thigh between the knee and hip. When questioned by Sherilf Ow ens, White made a statement that he was wounded while hunting rahhitc near his home. White's condition is reported by hospital attendants as be ing fair.

Avoiding to Sheriff Owens, following bis trip to the Tur ner farm, somebody oried onen the door to the smoke the shotgun from a lanyard attached to the door, the gun beinir cocked ready for firing. The sheriff's investigation led to the belief that whoever attempted the theft had been shut in tho o-; of the right thigh. He disclosed that a trail of blood led from the smokehouse to the highway and bits of flesh were found near the scene. Returning to Hertford, Sheriff Ow ens called all local doctors and mr. I by hospitals and asked to be inform ed oi any person requesting treat ment for such wounds.
