Three Businesses
Broken Into Early

Three local business places were
broken into Friday night by bold
thief or thieves.
The first break-in was at Red
Front Grocery on West Third street.

car in the vicinity of Red Front,
when they heard hammer hit

turned in the side alley behind the
Peoples Bank. to make an investi-
cation. When they got out to in
vestigate, they called in a second
patrol car that arrived in less than
a minute 1t was cruising about
block away.
The investigation disclosed that
the store had been entered from the
rear. and the safe had been worked
on. The dial Of the safe was broken,
which accounts for the hammer
hitting STEEL
The thief apparently fled between
the time the patrol car came by
and turned down the alley. Possibly
a look out sounded the warning
when the patrol car came near.
Apparently the same thief waited
about an hour and struck again.
This time he hit Reds Sunoco Sta
ton and Bob's Super Market. both
lust west Of town. Farmvillel police
officers discovered the break-in at
Bob's about 10:45 and at the Sunoco
station minutes later. Charles Reid
did not leave the service station
until about 1920, SO Police Chief
Otto S. Overton estimates that the
break-in occurred between 1920 and
1O:45, when the break-in at Bob S
was discovered

neck the whole way Chief Over
ton said, but we just missed him
at every turn"
About $50 was stolen at Red
Front. and no losses reported at

Supreme Court Upholds Indignation
Orders For Prince Edward County

The United States Supreme Court
refused today to hear appeals con-
corning school indignation in Prince
Edward County. The appeal was
made by attorneys for the Prince
Edward School Board. asking that
the indignation order issued by the
Fourth Circuit Court Of Appeals be
reversed, and the original seven
year delay plan Of Judge Sterling
Hutcheson be upheld.
BY refusing to hear the case. the
Supreme Court upholds the decision
Of the Fourth Circuit Court of APP
peals, which on May this year,
ordered desegregation to begin in
Prince Edward County.
The Appeals Court and the Su-
preme Court both refused to stay

peal to the Supreme Court was be-

cause of this legal order. the board
Of supervisors refused to appropriate
funds for public schools in Prince
Edward County.
In a related case. the Supreme
Court also refused to hear an ap-
peal from the City OF Norfolk. The
Norfolk town council announced its
intention to pay no money for in
tegrated schools. However, court
order was obtained that forced the
city to pay the money. The refusal
Of the Supreme Court to hear the
case means that a federal court
can order funds to be paid for in
tegrated schools, if money has been
appropriated for public school pur-
poses.
