from Halifax County under the
first draft call had been reject

First Quarter
OF Fiscal Year
Shows S353,O89

Halifax County ABC store
sales for the first quarter of the
l948-49 fiscal year are tagging
somewhat behind the mark set
during the first quarter of last
year, county Alcoholic Beverage
Control Board chairman Jack
Vincent reported today.
The first quarterly report for
the new fiscal year was made
public by Vincent, showing sales
for the three-month's period
were over $4,000 behind the sale
during the first quarter last
year. During July, August and
September of this year the sales
total in the Halifax County Ii
quor stores was 1858, ,089.51 as
compared with the S375, ,34.2; for
the same period in 1947.
Of the total sales the quarter
ly report pointed out that total
profits amounted $75, 1858,
of which $1O,338.39 has been ap-
portioned to cities and towns in
the county.
Roanoke Rapids is due to re-
ceive S4,355.89, WeldonS2, 398. .38,
Enfield Sl,53911, Scotland Neck
$1,322.93, Halifax $369.06 an d
Littleton $3530l. The money re-
ceived by these towns from
county ABC store profits is used
for necessary expenses for the
municipality.
Halifax County averaged about
$l0,500 per month during the
first quarter of the profits used
in the county's general fund.
The sales decline over last year
was reflected in the fact that
the first quarter net profits for
the county is S32,565.74 as COM
pared with $37, ,205.46 last year.
While income from the stores
during the three months showed
a slight decline, expenses were
showing a slight increase to cut
further into the stores total pro-
fits for the county. The ex-
penses involved in the operation
of one of the county's biggest
retail businesses showed an in
crease of approximately $l,0OC
per month during the three
month report, with operating
expenses, including salaries, de-
probation and other, climbing
to $l8, O52.72 for the first quart
er this year in comparison tc
the expenses of $15,8O4.35 a yeal
ago.
In line with the other de-
creases in revenue the amount
set aside for state taxes re-
served for law enforcement
dropped from the $34, ,490.49 last
year to $32,261.00 this year.
Vincent pointed out that Hall
fax County and the municipali
ties in it are nearly one and
half million dollars richer fol
having has the ABC stores II
operation since 1885. He sale
since the stores were first open
ed there has been a total of ST.,
484. 80 in cash distributed from
the store profits.

They were taken to building near by while the men were given 10 understand once and for all that they were prisoners of the Japanese Empire and therefore subject to their will and command and any who tried to escape or broke any fraction of the rules of the internment camp that they were being taken to, would be severely punished or shot. Then we were marched away to the prison camp. taking nine hours by the sun, to reach a distance of perhaps thirty or forty miles from Tokyo. "The women?" We never saw them again.
