either pay fine or leave town.
They left town.

these statesmen not only usually
charge more for their commodities,

those offered by local businessmen.
In addition, he points out, the mon

TOM SAWYER PLAY
SHAPING UP WELL

Rehearsals for The Adventures of
Tom Sawyer have been underway for
some time, and, according to the lat
est report the work being done by the
cast in interpreting their parts, prom
Uses the public the best home talent
play in recent years.
The play itself is based on the i'm
mortal story of The Adventures of
Tom Sawyer, created Iby Mark Twain,
It is story dear to the hearts of all
American whether they are children
or adults.
The role of Tom Sawyer is taken by
Henry Powell, and how he does try
the patience and break the heart of
Aunt Polly, played by Mrs. Bert
Moore. Toms romance with Becky
Thatcher, played by Sadie B. Parham,
is one of the rich spots of the drama.
Joe Harper and Huck Finn, taken by
Wallace Kelley and Bill Bryan re-
spectively, join Tom in the thrilling
adventures on Jackson's Island The
part of Mrs. Harper, who gossips,
weeps and finally rejoices along with
Aunt Polly is taken by Mrs. J. w.
Sanders. Susy Harper, Mrs. Harper's
devoted daughter is taken by Mrs.
Lannie Green Stafford. Mary, Aunt
Polly's niece and Toms constant aide
is played by Sue Kelley. Sidney, Toms
half brother and trouble maker is
taken by Gillion Burleson, Jim. aunt
Polly's handy boy is played by j. H.
Hicks. The widow Douglas who knows
all the news is Mrs. w. S. Gerber,
while the part of the sheriff is taken
by Clyde Finch.
Each character interprets his role
we'll and makes his individual contri-
button to the successful expression of
this immortal drama.
The play is a riot of love, laughter
and tears from the beginning to the
end, in Tom Sawyer the community
has an opportunity to enjoy two hours
chock full of clean, wholesome amuse-
ment. It is play that will be longed
remembered by those who witness it's
performance.
The play is to be presented at the
Vance theatre, with matinee and night
performances. There are several adj
ded attractions on the program for
both afternoon and night. It is ex-
pected to have several musical num-
bers between acts, Then through the
courtesy of the Henderson Merchants
a number of valuable prizes will be
awarded to the holders of lucky num-
bers at the drawing which will take
place at both afternoon and night.
Tickets have been distributed thro-
ugh the schools and the various mems
and women's clubs of the city. Thew
may also he purchased at drug stores.

ing stolen cars for the insurance COM
panies. The reason for this increase
in thefts in North Carolina is due
largely to the lack of any radio con-
troll system for the highway patrol,
Coble said.
1T is only necessary to look at the
figures for states and cities which
have police radio systems and those
which do not, to see the difference in
the number of automobile thefts,"
COble said. IF an automobile thief
knows city or state has no radio
control system for reaching police of
ficers, they know they can steal car
and drive it 800 to 600 miles and then
abandon it without much danger of
being caught. But if they know that
the license number and description
of the car will be broadcast to every
highway patrOlman and police office
within a few minutes after a car is
missed, they know their chances of
stealing a car and not being picked up
are very slim.
"Take an example right here in
North Carolina that shows the differ
ence between cities which have and
do not have police radio commun1ca-
ton systems. The city of Whining
ton has no police radio system, with
the result. that automobile thefts in
Wilmington average about seven per
week. Yet in both Greensboro and RAJ
leigh, where the police departments
have radio communication systems,
the number of car thefts do not aver
age more than one a week."
A Statewide radio system for the
State Highway atrol would also make
it more effective in reducing the
number of accidents, as well as in
spotting and arresting reckless driv-
ers, hit-and-run drivers, drunken dr1v-
ers and all types of violators, in ad-
dition to automobile thieves, Coble
said.

Dates and Places
for Visits by Doc
tors This Month

All dentists Of the city are cooperat-
ing in the pre-schOol clinics being
held in all the white schools of the
city and county unGer auspices of the
Vance County Health Department, it
was announced today. One of them
will be present at each of the clinics
to examine the children for dental
defects.
The clinics are for children who will
start to school for the first time next
fall Any physical defects of any
kind discovered will be called to the
vice as to treatment or for calling on
doctors for that treatment.
Parents are urged to accompany
their children to the clinics, which, of
course, are free. The purpose is to
have the children starting to school
for the first time to be in the best
possible health.
The first of the clinics was held
Tuesday afternoon at Clark street
school, and was attended by DR.. I. H.
Hoyle. He said today that % chill
dren were examined, and that many
defects of one kind or another were
detected. So far as dental condi-
tions are concerned, he said most
children are eating too freely of
candy and sweets in general, which
mitigates against the development of
sound teeth
At all of the city schools the hour
for the clinics is 1:3O p. M, and at
those in the country the hour in each
instance is $3.50 o'clock in the morn
ing.
