. ---V TtURSnAY, AUG. NORTH i- -y ' -.x: " ■ • ^ riK Is Mach Brightei Of Mllers Creek New York, Aug. 8.—The Gen eral Motors Corp. put another bright touch on the summer pic ture of business improvement to- • day by reporting for July a sub- ’’ Btantial year-to-year increase in car sales of users in the United States. Sates to home consumers were put at 102.031 compared with 78,758 trucks and cars in the 1938 month. For the first sev en months the total was 802,492 units against 576,878 in the 1938 period. June sales to U. S. con sumers were 124,618. Latest sales reports- from the field encouraged motor makers to look for further expansion in the home market over the next year or so. The General Motors plants are warming up for early production of 1940 cars, now that the toot and die strike has been settled. 4 Elsewhere the business nows ostly confirmed recent indica tions of an upturn, contrary to expectations during the vacation season. A July increase of about 15 per cent in dollar sales over 1938 was anno'.inced by Mont gomery Ward & Co., one of tlie big mail order houses. The J. C. Penney Co., which caters largely to trade in small towns unci rur al sections, showed a .1 ily ri.se of 6.8 per cent in doliur sales ci'iii- pared with the 1938 mouth. The “American Machinist" said “Huge foreign purchases of ma chine tools are pending” |or the domestic machine building indus- ' try. The trade publication said i metal - working companies, ac- j counting,for almost one-fourth of I the .American industry, "are in a ! period of expanding operations." I The United States contributed ; the sharpest percentage gain a- , mong leading producers in an ex- ; pansion of world gold output to I record heights in the first half of ; this year, the American Bureau iof Metal Statistics repurted. Do- I mestic output, it noted, was up i to 2.494,000 ounces compared 'with 2.155.000 in the first half I of last year, a gain of nearly 16 • per cent, ; Rayon yarn .shipments in the 1 first seven months of this year ! expanded to 194.IO0.000 pouncis, an increase of 48 per cent over 131 IIOO.OOO in the eomimrable period last year, the Textile Eco nomics Rnreau announced. A shift to rayon on a “wholesale scale’’ in dress and underwear fabrics us n siilt of a rise in prices of | silk was held partly accountable j for the larger rayon sales. j Tbere arc in the United States • more than 1500 industrial and con-' .suiting laboratories, employing .some L’O.OOO workcr.s. -v|.cMd'ng ini cxcc.ss ,if .8J.uO.000.000 annua'ly inj research.

Everyone is said to be grevlotisly offended at the • item. But it was widely reported ‘ in the neighborhood two weeks J ago, and it was even declared he was almost in a dying condition and that two cars of relatives had gone to be at his bedside. It is' a good thing he is so well and is to he hoped that everyone will j understand he has never been ill : and desist from starting such ' ridlcnlons and unearthly rumors, for everyone with one accord wan's to send this correspondent to the lethal gas chamber, how ever innocent she is in regard to mistakes. ,A baptizing was held Sunday at Brier Creek.

I Love The Woods I lovp tlic ..lummcr woods, I lovp their quiet shades, Their soul-refreshing solitudes And sorrow-healing glades. I tovc the autumn woods, 1 love their gold and red. The pathos of tlie falling leaves ; Upon their rustic bed. ( I love the winter woods, ! Their trunks and branches j hare. The feathery evergreens that warm The frigid northern air. I love the trees in spring. When every branch and twig Proclaims a resurrection day' AVith life so rich and big. I love to feel that God Can do His work through me.
