SPINISTER SISTERS ACCUSED OF Theft
OF $33, 900 FROM UNDERTAKEN

Laurinburg, N. c. (ANP)-Two
middle-aged spinster sisters, both
working as maids and living in an
old, rundown house, had hopes Of
moving into a mansion and living
a little higher on the hog.
The women, Miss Truemiller
Polston, "a, and Miss Pinkey Pol
ston, so, were arrested on charges
of stealing $4,000 from Negro
undertaken c. H. Morris, for whom
Truemiller worked.
But what really has tongues
wagging in this town Of $500 is
the linking Of the Polston sisters
with the construction of a sump-
tuous two-story brick home in a
fashionable white residential Sec
ton. They were accused of taking
the money over a period of several
months from a safe in Morris
residence and were believed to be
investing it in what has become
known as Laurinburg's mystery
mansion.
Residents of the neighborhood
where the home is being built did
not know who owned it. For
months it has been the source of
rumors, including one report that
it was owned by a rich Negro
from New York.
The Polston sisters purchased
the lot for $4,000 through a white
agent, it was reliably reported. An
unidentified source said the agent
was supervising construction for
the sisters.
Police said Truemiller Polston
was employed as a cook and maid
by Morris.
A rundown Of events leading up
to the arrest of the sisters, re-
sembling a plot for a television
mystery or thriller movie, was
given by police.
Officers gave this account:
For months, undertaken Morris
suspected that money was being
taken from a safe in his residence
on the second floor of his business
establishment.
Last week, while hiding in a
closet, Morris watched his maid
open the combination lock on the
safe. He jumped from cover,
grabbed the maid and called police.
Under questioning, Miss Polston
implicated her sister, who works
as a maid in the Scotland (Coun-
ty) Memorial hospital and she also
was arrested.
Police searched the house where
the sisters live and found several
boxes and suitcases filled with new
clothing.
The Polston sister, charged with
grand larceny, are being held in
the county Jail under $4,000 bond,
pending a hearing.
Laurinburg is 100 miles east Of
Charlotte and eight miles from
the South Carolina state line.

TIES that BOUND HER

Burbank, Calf. (ANP) - An
unobserving woman motorist drove
half a mile on a railroad track,
then got stuck in a switch and
delayed a 1OO-car freight train.
Maize Wells of Burbank said
she got on the tracks at a cross
ing. A track supervisor saw her
car bounce by at 25 miles per hour,
followed by a freight train going
in the same direction. He threw a
switch that tagged down the
train.
Police said the woman told
them:
II thought this was a road"
She was not cited.

- AhC o4ha NILE oAL4Ln 4OOkOO up
and saw her living room was on
fire. She called the fire depart
ment and then her husband.
The fire was put out and a man
saying he was from the fire In
surance company called. You who
have been paying on your insur-
ance policies for twenty years or
more would be shocked to have
this agent say, Didn't you Just
have a fire a short time ago?
Shocked at that attitude and tone
Of voice you say, ''we have been
paying on this policy for the last
forty years and this Is the first
time we have ever needed to call
themw
The agent grunted and strutted
around with his hat on and a big
cigar in his mouth looking to see
what the damage was. Then he
walks toward you and says, IT
guess we will have to do a little
painting here and there and clean
the wall paper here and there and
wipe off the woodwork a little" "
Then he tells you the adjuster will
be out in a few days.
The adjuster comes out to see
the damage that is done and he
says we will hear from him with
in few days. Within a week they
call and tell you the men will be
out to take care Of the damage
done by the fire.
The men come out within
another week and you notice they
are only putting one coat Of paint
on where the fire had taken all Of
the paint off. When you tell him
it won't look right he said, LADY,
it says on this paper to put one
coat of paint on and that is all
I can do. I just work for the COM
pany."
The bottoms Of the baseboards
were not painted because they
didn't get burned enoughw I'M
agine how the baseboards look
half painted! When you complained
about the looks he said he was
told to leave things as they looked.
The room was left like that.
Your husband had to leave the
city on business and so you were
left with a job you thought was
half done.
You are wondering If that Is the
way all companies do the first
time they have to spend a few
cents on money you have been
paying to them more than half Of
your life. You spoke to friends and
here is the experience friend had
who lives half way across the
country.
My friend, Helen Roe, opened
her living room door one afternoon
as she came in from work and the
entrance was dense with black
smoke. She could hardly see but
she felt her way to the telephone
and called the fire department,
then covered her face with a wet
cloth and went all over the house

In Race With Islam:
In Race With Islam:
Possibility Remote
Thar ChriSfidnS viii
Endorse PoIYg0mY
BY EnOc p. Water


Chicago (ANP) - There is a
remote possibility that the rest
less husband with a rowing eye for
the feminine beauty which sur
rounds him outside his home might
find Christian sanction Of his poly
gamous tendencies.
The highly controversial subject
Of polygamous marriages was re-
Vived as a result Of a resolution
adopted by the recent All-Africa
Christian Youth Assembly which
met in Nairobi, Kenya.
In a stirring speech in support
Of a suggestion that the Christian
church condone polygamy, Pastor
Jean Kotto declared Christians
who are polygamists in secret re-
ceive Holy Communion, yet we
refuse Baptism to sincere men who
live openly with several wives" He
added that the time was at hand
when Christians face up to the fact
that Africa is traditionally poly
gamous.
The assembly then overwhelm-
ingly backed up the suggestion and
in a closing message said that the
structure Of the church In African
should correspond to the needs Of
the present and the aspirations Of
the African personality.
Behind this unusual position In
the deep rooted and intense COM
petition between Islam and Christi
anity to capture Africa. Christian
have conceded that
they have been handicapped in
their drive because the Muslin
faith does not frown, as does the
Christian church, upon a man TAX
ing more than one mate.
Christianity Is tagging behind
Islam on the continent, despite the
fact that Christianity has done
much more In the field Of social
welfare for the Africans than has
the Muslin church.
While there are several reasons
for the Africans preference for
Islam, the one that keeps cropping
up to annoy Christian missionaries
is the question of polygamy.
Some stauch advocate of plural
feel that the Christian
faith must make some concessions
if it hopes to achieve its aims in
Africa.
Should Christianity surrender to
African pressure, it is inconceiv-
able that sanction of polygamy
could be restricted to the areas
where the church has found it a
matter of profitable expediency.
This would mean, then, that the
Christian church in the United
States and other homogeneous
countries would be in conflict with
civil laws enacted at the instiga-
ton of the church banning plural
Then the husbands with the row.
ing eyes could translate their
clandestine romances into church
marriages. OF course
cynics have pointed out and per-
haps with great accuracy, that ap-
proval Of polygamous marriages
might kill more extra-marital ro-
than it would resolve into
At this point all such specula-
ton is purely academic, because
even optimists agree that it will
be a long time - If ever - that
Christianity confers its blessing
upon the man who has more than
one wife.

With a bond election of { h e Palmer Independent s c h o 0 l District forthcoming, the ques- tion of what will happen to the bonded indebtedness of the dis trict after the formation of the borough is of considerable in terest locally.
 Superintendent of schools R. C. Carter referred this week to Section 07.10.130 of the Alaska Statutes, which states that "an organized borough shall suc- ceed to all of the rights, pow CTS, and duties of any service area and of any school districts and public utility districts in cluded within its boundaries ;. and shall succeed to all of the right, title, and interest in the real and personal property held by the service areas or districts.

When service area or special district had a prev iously incurred bonded indebt- edness, no less than all proper ty that was within the service area or special district at the time the bonds were issued shall remain subject to taxa ton to pay the principal of and interest on the bonds for as long as they remain outstand- ing"

borough may not necessarily mean that this indebtedness will be amortized over the en- tire borough area.
 Tt appears that the borough will assume all debts that the school district h as assumed prior to the incorporation of the borough" Carter stated. The school district may as sume new debts until the bor- ough assembly is functioning and takes this authority from the schools. The borough as sembly may organize, but may not be ready to assume h e powers until later in the two year preparatory period. In this instance, the borough as- sembly would have to consent to the assumption of new bonded indebtedness by th e district"
 In other words, Carter said,
