School Theiis
Reported Here
Summerfield, Buffalo,
Batesville Robbed

Robbery of the Summerfield
and BatesviIle high schools on
Feb. 8 is now being tied in with
that of the robbery at Buffalo
school in Guernsey county, ac-
cording to Sheriff Clayton Nc
Kee.
The same methods were ap-
parently used to gain access to
the three building according to
local officials.
At Summerfield, the sum of
$50 was taken and at Batesville
they took $50. Most of this re-
presented candy money, which
belonged to the Junior classes
for their annual banquet.
The robberies occurred the
same night as the Summerfield-
Batesville basketball game.
Sheriff John Steele of Cam
bridge, formerly of this county,
is making an active investigation
regarding the robberies and he
is of the opinion that the same
thieves committed all three.
Summerfield, Batesville and
Buffalo schools are relatively
closely situated and it would
have been easy to break into all
three buildings the same even
ing.
The thieves jimmied the locks
with a screw driver or some
other sharp instrument to gain
entrance to the buildings.

KES FEMALE APP0INTEES

It is interesting to note that Presdenteect Dwight
Eisenhower has appointed two to top jobs already
and that he promises to recognize the capabiy OF women
in all fields 1t also interesting to note that the first two
female appontees among list of seventeen names
submitted to General Eisenhower by committee of the
American Association of University women. The AAUW
named committee to recommend the list to Eisenhower
and the committee the seventeen shortly be-
fore Ike named two to major posts.
The two chosen by Eisenhower Mrs Ivy Priest OF
Bountful Utah, and Mrs Oveta C. Hobby, of Houston
Texas These appointments pleasing to the Status OF
the AAUW that committee had proposed both IN the
list sent to General Eisenhower.
General Eisenhowers recognition of women, in this re-
spec is not thing. The last two Democratic admin
stratons have called members of the farer to per-
form top jobs in the Government at various times These
jobs have included Cabinet posts and at present. there
several filling toplevel jobs in Defense De-
partment and other major departments
Perhaps of the reasons why these women usually
come through in the fact that few of them picked for
top posts and the few chosen naturally thought to be
top candidates in the entire country. Whatever the
sons most of the ladies who have been given top
ment jobs the last decades have made credtable
showngs and satisfied the who appointed them In
doing they have paved the for the appointment of
other women to top governmental posts.

PROJECT

The new Tabor City high school gymnasium recently
had modern glass backboards installed replacing the
more old fashioned wood backboards This project cost
about $500 and again the local community rallied to the
support of the project in a hurry.
Just about the time the backboards were completely IN
stalled local people had put the money to pay Tor the
change Thus the school treasury did not suffer any at
all from the project and yet noteworthy project was
carried out.
