One of the leading activities in
which all the troops in the city
are engaged is the National Girl
Scout project icr 1948 Clothing
for Friendship" in which all the
local troops are packing boxes
for overseas shipment to chill
dren in the war-ravaged parts
of the world. A box for ship
ment was packed at the Girl
Scout Hut here last Wednesday
by Troop II under the direction
of Miss Lillian Lee, local Girl
Scout leader, and contained an
entire wardrobe for a child for
one year, including clothing, un-
der clothing, coats and shoes.
The box prepared Wednesday
was made up for a girl eleven
years old and the local girls ad-
ded to the box a completely
equipped sewing kit. '.f
Miss Lee said several of the
boxes have already been sent
and others are being prepared
this week by many of the girls.
Some Of the articles going into
the boxes are donated, however
much of the material sent is
purchased new by the girls. The
shipping of the boxes overseas
is handled through the Society
of Friends in New York City
and all boxes are sent to anony-
nous children, although notes
are allowed to be inserted by
the girls in the box when it is
packed.
Miss Lee said many of the
troops here this week will study
about the late Miss Low, who
founded Girl Scouting in the
United States in 1911. Girl
Scouts were first started in Roa-
1oke Rapids in 1884 and in
1888 a Girl Scout Hut was built
for the girls.
In addition to the eight re-
sular troops now active in the
city, there are also two Brownie
troops.
Girl Scouting is one of the
Red Feather a, tivities OF the
Roanoke Rapids Community
Chest.

Master Minds
Give Hard Time
To Scotland Yard

LONDON (U.P.)-The mas.
ter mind" isn't always a figment
Of mystery fiction. Scotland
Yard has two of them to worry
about right now.
Behind the baronial walls oi
the Yard. overlooking the Tha,
mes, all the resources of scienti-
fic crime detection are being
used to trap two whose exploits
would sound ridiculously untrue
even between tine covers of 6
lurid crime novel.
They are born business men
ostensibly. Both operate from
London. Somehow they seem tt
be able to command silence ev
en- from underlings caught ane

light sentence ever has giventhe

facing logn Jail terms. Not ev-
light sentence ever has given
the police a damaging bit OF
evidence.
Only the other day one OF
them apparently attended the
trial of some Of his hirelings
Detectives are reasonably Ger.
tain he was there, but they cant
prove anything against him.
They hoped there would be
some sign from the prisoners.
But the accused took their long
sentences without glance at
him.
One of the two specializes in
robberies. of big country houses
and valuable art works. He is
believed to have helped plan the
500, 1000 jewel robbery of the
Duke and Duchess of Windsor
two years ago when they were
guests at man5ion in suburban
Sunningdale.
He is almost certain the
brain behind the robbery of
Lord Astors Hever Castle,
where they picked what they
wanted with the discrimination
of art experts.
Before the war, Scotland Yard
detected the same hand in sew
eral robberies at the stately and
usually isolated homes of the
wealthy nobility.
He ceased operations during
the war, perhaps as a patriotic
gesture, and this Yard hoped that
somthing had happened to him.
But the Windsor robbery chang
ed their minds.
The second master mind is
by far the more dangerous. His
most recent exploit was a bid
for what would have been one
OF the greatest hauls of all time
So, 900, 900 in gold, diamond and
other valuables from the bonded
warehouse at London airport.
Among the items worrying the
Yard is how the G.OC. general
officer commanding), as he was
known to his men, managed to
learn the contents Of the ware
house and the secret time of the
arrival OF plane carrying $500,
700 in gold. Also how he mana
ged to recruit eight of London's
toughest gangsters from six diff
ferent gangs and yet exact blind
loyalty from them.
He moved his eight chosen
men into furnished rooms near
the airport, supplied them with
a Rolls Royce, a Bentley (both
among the most expensive cars
in the world) and a powerful
station wagon. He knew the hab-
its of the warehouse guards and
had their tea drugged on the
day appointed for the raid.
Scotland Yard learned about
he raid from a separate under
world source, however, and al
though they watched the prepa-
rations and foiled the robbery,
hey never got line on a lead
er. The break up of the ware
house raid was d dramatic high
light of postwar crime here. The
robbers al wore silk stockings

Paving Is
Under Way

Work was started this morn
ing by the F. D. Cline Construc-
ton Co., Of Raleigh on widen
ing and paving the south end
of Roanoke Avenue here from
Twelfth street to the Seaboard
station. --
The work undertaken is part
of that given the construction
firm under a State Highway
Commission control and will
join with the widening of the
Weldon Roanoke Rapids highway
in the near future by the same
company.
This morning road machinery
was put to work on that por-
ton of the Avenue which is not
now paved. Workers said the
dirt portion extending about six
feet on either side of the present
paving will be scraped out and
a four-inch layer Of plant mix
blacktop surfacing placed along
the curb, narrowing to a three
inch layer along the present pave
ment. Over the entire section
there will be added a one-inch
layer of the plant-mix material
from the company's plant near
Garysburg.
The construction foreman said
that the entire project should be
completed within a weeks time
barring adverse weather, and re
quested that motorists heed the
signs which have been placed on
the project.
He said that when motorists
fail to stop for the barricades
it puts the work several days
behind schedule.
