~ Stolen Car is Recovered
George Shaver, the local barber, had
his car, a Ford roadster, stolen from
in front of his place of business last
Saturday night after closing up for the
night. Before going to his home,
. George went across the street to his
mother’s home where he remained for
a very short while and when he went
back to get his car it was missing. In
the car was an assortment of barbers’
supplies, such as razors, combs and
scissors that George usually takes
home with him on Saturday night.
On Friday night, while attending a!
‘dance ‘at the American Legion Home
at Kingston, an extra tire, tools and
a large blanket was: stolen from the
car while it was parked on Market{
street. Both robberies were reported
to the police who are working on tho
case.
The machine was recovered Sunday
morning in a lumber shed of the
Shavertown Lumber Company and
was driven 112 miles, Police are ul.-
der the impression that it was the
work of local young men who were
playing a joke on Mr. Shaver.
Robbery Attempted
An attempt was made some time
Saturday night to gain entrance to the
local A, & P. store room on Main
street. When the manager, Sam De-
~ Witt, went to the store room on Mon-
‘day he found one lock was open, per-
haps with a skeleton key wand the
other lock tampered with.
Streets in Bad Shade
Many of the streets of the town are
in bad shape, due to the warm weather
of the past week, many automobiles
were stuck in the mud and pedestrians
who walk along the road are usually
spattered with mud.
i Welfare Drive Successful
According, to Rev. Harry Henry,
‘chairman of .the Welfare Federation
drive, the citizens of Kingston ana
Dallas - responded in a
splendid manner, which is a fine in-
dication of the generosity in regards
to this worthy cause. The local citi
