Joines It Appointed
Fire Watchman For
Roaring Gap Mt.
Paul Joines, son of P. M.
Joines, Whitehead, has been ap
pointed by Assistant Forester
McCormick, Raleigh, to serve: as
watchman on the new lookout
tower at Roaring Gap. From
this point of vantage it is his
duty to _watch over Alleghany,
Wilkes and'-Sdrry counties for
forest fires, which he will report
to the county warden or to dis
trict warden^. To facilitate this
work, a telephone has been in
stalled in the. tower.
This lookout tower, which was
built by the Federal Govern
ment was completed last fall. It
is to be regretted, it is pointed
out, that such a tower was not
in use at the time of the very
destructive forest fire two years
ago; probably the fire could have
been extinguished before it had
spread very much, thus saving
thousands of dollars worth of
timber.
The county warden, R. D.
Gentry, will appreciate the co
operation of everyone in helping
to keep down forest fires.
Doughton To Speak
Tonight Over Radio
On “New Tax Bill”
-
Congressman 'Robert L. (“Parm

county, is scheduled to speak
over the Columbia Broadcasting
national radio hook-up tonight
(Thursday) from 8:45 to 9:00
o’clock, from Washington, D. C.
His subject will be “The New
Tax Bill.”
Hoffman To Talk
(continued from front page)
sequently he wished to have Con
don questioned, and anked Col.
H. Norman Schwarzkopf, head of
the state police, why Condon had
not been interrogated about state
ments attributed to him since the
trial at Flemington.
The Bronx school teacher re
turned to New York a week ago.
Since then the governor has been
trying to arrange the interview.
When Governor Hoffman first
entered the case he said he wish
ed to see “justice” done” no mat
ter whom it affected. He said
he believed otjaer persons were
involved in m kidnaping, and
pointed to statements by Condon
himself suggesting that Haupt
mann might have had accomplices.
He recently disclosed that Oon
don, as late as 17 days before
Hauptmann went on trial, went
to a Miami jail to interview a con
victed kidnaper, and said he be
lieved Condon’s purpose was an
attempt to identify the man as
the one to whom he paid the
$50,000 Lindbergh ransom.
Mrs. Anna Hauptmann visited
her husband in the death house
today.
Governor Hoffman had no com
ment on published reports that
Mrs. Hauptmann had written to
him threatening to take her life
and that of her son,, Mannfried,
if her husbanff dies.
Mrs. Hauptnpiann could not be
reached for comment.

Psalm Singer To
Gve Program At
GUeVaitylT
On Monday night, March 30,
at eight o’clock, a program of
the oldest lyrics, etc., is to be
presented in Glade Valley high
school auditorium by Jesse Phil*
lips-Robertson, noted "Singer of
Psalm9.”
Ancient instruments will be
displayed, such as the high-sound
ing, or tinkling, cymbal, silver
trumpet, timbrel, finger drum,
etc. A real camel bridle from
Palestine, it is said, will be
shown.
In making announcement of
the coming event recently an
interested person had the follow
ing to say:
“Jesse Phillips-Robertson, 'Sing,
er of Psalms,’ stood by the road
side near Jerusalem watching a
caravan of camels walking sedate
ly by. An Arab sat on the
ground skillfully sliding a string
of amber-colored beads through
his fingers. 'Why does a camel
hold his head so high,’ asked Mr.
R. of the Arab.
" ‘Do you see these prayer
beads?’ the man replied. ‘They
answer your question. There are
100 names for Allah, but we
Mohammedans know only 99.
There are 33 beads on this string.
Three times around, and we have
used 99 names of Allah. The
camel alone knows the 100th.
That is why he holds his head so'
high,’ ”
“Mr. Robertson gazed suspicu
ously at the Arab, and turned to
watch the camels vanishing around
a bend in the road, heads high,
and wondered!!”—adv.
Sweetest the song wherein the
singer is lost.

Announcement
By earnest solicitation of many friends I announce
myself a candidate for renomination to the office of
Register of Deeds, subject to the Democratic Primary.
I also take this method of thanking the voters of
Alleghany county for their hearty support given me
in the past, and solicit their votes again. I want to
conduct myself and the office in such a way that the
good people won’t regret that they supported me, and
by the help of God I hope to live to that end.
This March 26, 1986.
