The Ahoskie Chamber of Commerce takes pleasure in intro
ducing to the community and all its friends and members the
new secretary, Mr..Frank P. Meadows. The "P" is for Pleasant
and he says that he is going to try to live up to his name, espec
ially in so far as the officials are concerned.
We wish him luck and are sure that he will like this section
of the state. Drop in to see our new man?he likes to listen to
troubles, as evidenced by his smiles in spite of the fact that he
has been in our town for a whole week.
MEETING OF THE MEMBERSHIP
As soon as practical, the Chamber of Commerce will hold a special
Booster Meeting of the entire membership and other friends. It is desired
that all members be present to consider several matter# of importance that
most come up. At the aame time the new. secretary will be officially intro
duced and it io hoped that several selections will be rendered by the Wildcat
Quartette. Hold yourself in readiness for the calf which will come at an
early date.
THE FALLACY OF JOKING ON FACTS
th,. i
Somebody has said that the new secretary of the Chamber of Commerce
admits that he comes from food people?with both preachers and bootleggers
in the family. The rumor had its birth in a joking conversation with Brother
Vann, who sells paint to help as properly observe CLEAN-UP WEEK. The
new "sec" was telling about a County Clerk of the. Court up in the wilds of
a neighbor state who once remarked to him that he knew some mighty good
people by the name of lleadows, notably two brothers. One of 'em was a
bootlegger and worked to beat Prohibition and the other one was a preacher
and worked to beat the devil. Secretary Meadows wQl be glad to meet
any-of his kin in this part of the state.
CLEAN-UP WEEK, MARCH 26th to 31st
Mayor Williams got the jump on the Governor of our sovereign state by
designating Monday last as Clean-up Day for Ahoside. But the Governor
bad mora territory so he says that next week, from the 26th to the flat,
inclusive, will be CLEAN-UP WEEK for the whole state. Let's fall in line
and beat him in his proclamation. We can agree on clean premises and neat
yards, even if we can't back the administration on all other lines. CLEAN
UP! PAINT UP! KEEP IT UP!
Here are a few suggestions:
WHAT TO CLEAN-UP?
Your untidy beck yard with its weeds, cans and rubbish.
Your dirty outbuildings filled with Shhvings, paper and trash so liable
to fir*.
Your attics with loose paper and plunder you will never need again.
Your filled up dralaways, that are breeding places for mosquitoes and
disease.
Whitewash is a good fire retardent and makes an unsightly fence look
respectable. Paint your house before it's too late. There is no truer
slogan that "Savt the surface and you save all." The crowds go to the
store with a neat, fresh front; point up and dress your windows again?and
be sure that the dieplay will be worth seeing and can be seen.
After you have cleaned up, help your neighbor. He may not know
how. And after we have cleaned AHOSKIE, keep it elean!
