Where 'ShOplifters'
Come Back to Settle

BAYBORO, N. C. = (P ]. G.
Alcock, hardware dealer in this
Atlantic coast town, has kept 5000
worth of merchandise in front of
his store day and night, and says
only once or twice in II years has
anything been stolen.
Anyway, says the Pamlico county
bachelor, there would be no room to
move the tinware, horse collars,
fencing, farm and fishing equipment
inside at night. Small hardware it..
ems crowd the shelves and larger
and heavied ware on the floor of the
small store leave little space for
customers.
Sometimes a customer will pick
up an item from the front of the
store while Alcock is away. "but
they always return the next day or
so when they're in town to settle
up"

Alabama Court Rules
Hitler Same as Skunk

MONTGOMERY, ALA. - It's
illegal in Alabama now to call
anyone Adolf Hitler or a skunk
which, as far as the state court
of appeals is concerned, are one
and the same thing.
The court upheld a 5000 judg-
ment by a circuit court judge
who made the award to plaintiff
allegedly compared to the for
mer German dictator.
The defendant, it was charged,
had posted a sign over nine bales
Of cotton, likening the plaintiff to
Hitler.
Since it is ibelous to compare a
person to ian odious, foul or de-
spised animal-for example, a
skunk the court ruled that
the same goes for calling any
one a Hitler.
