POTENT BEER THING OF THE PAST HERE 3.2 Again Reigns As Higher Percentage Is Outlawed Beer ?that brand of the lager containing more than the prescribed and humble three point two?ap- pears to be a brew of the past in Elkin following the recent mandate that those handling the more po- tent variety were subject to a fed- eral excise tax of SI,OOO, and a fine of SI,OOO, or a year in prison, or both, if they didn't pay the tax. Before the federal government up- set the beer dealers' apple cart here ?and throughout the state?beer of a very potent alcoholic content could be purchased over most any counter. The once famous 3.2 was pushed so far into the background that distributors and retailers found it a problem to dispose of it. But now three point two is again coming into its own. Once more it is foaming over the counters as its kindred of higher alcoholic content is barred from Elkin?and the State. Kiwanis Club Observes Ladies' Night Friday In observance of ladies' night, the local Kiwanis club Friday evening entertained wives and friends of its members with a picnic dinner at Williams' farm, near Mountain Park.

G. Church. Although the man who claimed the radio was not named by Chief Church, or the location of his store, it is understood that the radio was stolen sometime ago when the store was broken into. A small amount of cash and a quantity of merchan- dise was also taken at the same time, it' was reported. According to Chief Church, the store in question was in a building which housed a postoffice, but it is not believed the postoffice was en- tered. Both Hampton and Eldridge are in Forsyth jail in default of bond awaiting trial at the next term of Forsyth criminal court. Both were said to have admitted holding up a filling station located on the Win- ston-Salem-Greensboro road a number of weeks ago, in which the operator was battered into uncon- sciousness after he had been held up at pistol point and robbed. It is understood that a number of robberies which have occurred within a 40-mile radius of Elkin are being investigated upon the theory that Hampton arid Eldridge might be the offenders.
