Lions Go Them One Better The Gastonia Lions Club, in the Lions Magazine for June, claims the honor of holding the only club egg hunt in the State, but it appears that the Murphy Lions Club has pone the roarers of Gastonia one better in that the Murphy Club sponsored and paid for themselves without any outside donations an Egg Hunt with real hen eggs. Anyway the honor of the Gas tonia club must be shared with the Miuphy Lion?, as witnesses the fol lowing article in the June Lions Magazine: One ot the regular luncheons in Gastonia, N. ('., was waived, the membets contributing the fee toward the expenses of staginp their Easter egg hunt for the children of the city and county. The secretary of the club states that so far as he has been able to learn, it is the first such af faii which has been held in that state. However that honor must be shared by Murphy, N. C., where one hundred and twenty dozen real hen eggs were hidden and a hunt staged at a cost of thirty-five dollars to the club. In this instance no donations were a<k ed from merchants or outsiders, the Lioii^ uikin^ caie of all arrange ments. ? The Lion's Magazine for June.

NO CHANGE IN CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP Letter From Zone Sales Manager Corrects Rumor Prevalent Here The following letter Is carried to correct a rumor that has : preval ent in this section for several weeks to the effect that there was going to be a change in the Che* 1 . t dealer ship at Murphy. Messrs. Fred and HaJlcy Dickey stated they were not t orn, niplating any change and when th? ? unior came to them they immediat jr<?t in touch with the district ice, and G. ?J. Gates, Zone Sales Manager of the Charlotte office, stated that he knew nothing of the rumor concerning a change, and saw no r-.-as??n why the Dickey Motor Company could not give them just as representa tion as they could get at Murphy. The Dickey Motor Company have been dealers for the popular Chevro let cars in Murphy for several years, and have built up a splendid busi ness during that time. Last year they sold nearly 100 new cars, and according to the pace set during the first six months of this year bid fair to even a greater record for this year. Since January 1st, they have sold <37 new Chevrolet?, which is certainly a record that speaks f? r itself. The letter from the zone sales man ager follows: Gentlemen: Replying to your letter of June 4, which is in reference to certain tum ors around Murphy concerning a change in the Chevrolet dealership, beg to advise this is the first time this office has heard of it. I talked to Mr. Fenton some little time ago with reference to how you were getting along and he seemed to think you were making some headway. I can see no reason whatever why you can not give us just as good rep resentation as we could get at Mur phy. All we ask of a Chevrolet deal er is that he keen himself in line with the policies of the Chevrolet Motor Company. Our experience with the Dickey Motor Company has been very pleas ant and we are sorry such rumors have come to your ears to disturb you, but it seems that ever so often some one has a lot to say concerning something they know nothing about. I wish to take this opportunity to express my regret at not having had the pleasure of visiting you since coming into this Zone, but the time is not far off until I will be in that sec tion and I will make it a point to visit Murphy. In the meantime, I would suggest that you make all the progress poss ible and forget anything which you might have heard of a disturbing na ture. ( harlotte, N. C. June 15th, 1927.
