Police Catch
Ralph Lashley

Just a week ago the Tabor City
Merchants association started its
drive to crack down on sWindle
schemes, and this week the first such
scheme was killed in the bud when
Ralph Lashley, 10, was arrested while
in the act of cashing forged check.
Lashley, of Clarendon, had cashed
six checks on local merchants for
more than $50, before he was ap-
pretended in the Dixie Store Sat-
urday by j. L. Winstead and G..
Garland Fowler while attempting to
get the cash for another rubber
check made out for slo.64.
Word had been pasbed around
town that the forger was passing
such checks with C. B. Cabanis's
name forged. When A check bearing
that signature was brought to Mr..
Winstead, he Immediately informed
Mr. Fowler who was in the store at
the time and Mr.. Fowler called the
cops while MIR. Winstead detained the
forger.
Lashley is currently in the
Jail in Whiteville with his bond set
at $500, or $500 for each forgery
He will be up before superior court
en- August 26.

Ann Arbor, Apr. 5-A University
OF Michigan authropologist is con-
Quoting an investigation OF some
20 skeletons and other specimens
taken from an Indian burial mound
located at Fort Wayne in Detroit.
DR.. Emerson F. Greenman, cura-

have been constructed 1000 years
ago.
Clay vessels, beads made OF shell,
and flints. knives, and spears are
among specimens taken from the
mound which was about four and
one.half feet high and 60 feet in
diameter.

Our troubled world could profit
II II would-from the striking les
son which the outspoken General
Douglas Macarthur has read us in
calling on his army chaplains to
exert strong and direct moral
leadership" over occupation troops
ip Japan.
The specific occasion OF this
move Is the fear expressed by some
Americans that there is wide
spread, promiscuous relationship
between members OF the occupying
forces and Japanese women OF I'm
moral character. The General
states that several .imes he has
commended "the high standard
maintained by our forces engaged
In the occupation" and has seen
nothing to discount that view"
Nevertheless he has acted prompt
ly on the strength OF letters re-
ceived from American homes.
Macarthur. who never has been
afraid to talk right out loud about
spiritual and moral matters, has
combined precept and action. He
has taken measures to curb prosti-
tuition and to provide the troops
with healthful recreation. But he
recognizes that these alone are not
cure. He says moral leadership
also Is necessary.
That is particularly impressive to
your columnist who has just re-
turned from Europe which is suf-
fering in many areas from moral
and spiritual collapse. This Is true
not only Of prostitution but OF all
other phases OF life. and II is the
general aspects Of the situation to
which | would direct your atten-
tion.
So far as prostitution h con-
