Officer Not
Impressed By
Wooden Cum

Greensboro.-Kenneth I. Stone,
West Virginia, emulated the late
John Dillinger in attempting a
wooden pistol escape from the
Guilford county Jail and came very
near to joining the Indiana desper-
ado in eternity.
Although not shot, Stone would
have been had he not quickly re-
sponded by dropping his make-be-
lieve weapon when ordered to do SO
by Deputy Warden W. ]. Hobbs,
who, shotgun in hand, frustrated
the attempt after the fleeing pris-
oner had reached the jail elevator.
Stone, a Federal prisoner held
for impersonating a government
officer in Winston-Salem, broke
from his cell tier at 10:45 O'Clock
when Deputy Warden Hobbs made
his round to lock the prisoners in
side their cells for the night.

THE INNER VOICE

The inner voice is speaking
So sweetly to my soul,
And bids me keep on seeking
Until l find the goal,
Beyond this world of sorrow
Where saints forever reign,
And where a glad tomorrow
Will set me free from pain.
GLORIOUS
The inner voice divine1y
Is blessing, day by day,
And ever sweet and kindly
Leads up the heavily way,
To where there is no weeping,
No heartaches and no signs,
Where saints are in Gods keeping
And glory fills the skies.
The inner voice is blessing
My heart from day to day,
And bids me keep on pressing
Along the heav My way;
For there's a home awaiting
just in the bye and bye,
Where there's no sin nor hating,
And not a care nor sigh.
The inner voice is telling
Me I should watch and pray;
I feel its sweet impelling
Along the glory way,
Where many saints and sages
By faith have humbly trod
Throughout the by-gone ages
And made it through to God.

 The II. w. Lake Drug Com- pany occupied the same store in the Brown building for 57 years. It was the original tenant of this particular store which was located at 2l South Main street.
 Medicine for many fathers and mothers of to-day was purchased by their respective parents and grandparents over the prescrip- ton counter and from the hos- pital supply department of this famous pharmacy. It is hunnor- ously estimated that if all the cinders removed from the eyes of pedestrians at the Lake Drug store during the past half- century and more were to be placed in Q pile Waterbury would have another Pine Hill. And when mention is made of splint. CTS one is likely to visualize 8 new lumber yard. The Lake Drug store was actually a first aid sta- ton, and still is.
 Tn 1880 Mir. Lake moved the business to it's present quarters and changed the name to The Lake Drug Company. He still specializes in the prescription business as did his dad before him.
 On May 1st, 1913, MT. Lake was united in marriage to Miss Char lotte B. Armour, a native of Thomaston. The wedding took place in the brides home town. To this union has been born two children: Nancy, now 17, and 8 freshman at Connecticut State College; and William Armour Lake, 13, now attending Thom- aston high school.
 Fred Lake weighs approximate 1y 175 pounds and is six feet tall with blue eyes and thinning gray hair. He is interested in indoor and outdoor sports and is espe- cially fond of fishing and golf. He thoroughly enjoys a game of bridge, cribbage or pinochle, and likes to solve crossword puzzles. Musical comedies are his favored cinema presentations. He de- lights in listening to an interest," ing speaker. He prefers to read fiction for diversion and always reads in bed. He wears glasses while reading. Tn 1929 Mir. Lake went abroad and visited England, Scotland, and France. He had the thrill of an airplane ride from London to Paris and return. He has been up several times since. His favorite food dish is broiled steak and mushrooms. He does not care for dessert. His choice beverage is gin and tonic, a connection imported from Eng land. It tastes like limeade. MT. Lake smokes cigarettes.
 He is past vice-president and past treasurer of the Connecticut College of Pharmacy of New Ha- ven. an institution he helped or. ganize in 1921. He is still on the Board of trustees. In 1882 this college conferred upon him an honorary Doctor of Pharmacy degree.
