C., aa second clast matter under Alt ed Mai^ 4, 18T». MONDAY, OCTOBER 9, 1939 The Market Lot We believe that city officials and' others concerned took a forward step in remov ing tiie truck vendors from the streets and obtaining for them a lot on which to do business removed from the heavy traffic of the streets and sidewalks. It is commendable that S. V. Tomlinson and J. B. McCoy have donated the use of the vacant lot adjoining the new city hall for that purpose. There is no room on the streets for truckers selling fruit, produce, cabbage, potatoes, pigs, etc., and yet the producers felt that they have a right to sell here. A good feeling will prevail when they know that a space is provided for that purpose. Wonderful Improvement Covering the cobblestones on the grade parts of Ninth streets is an improvement appreciated by all who drive over it. The cobblestones had become so uneven that riding over them was an uncomforta ble procedure and the stone surfaces had become so slick that it was dangerous. Motor vehicles going over the uneven stones produced ntuch noise which must have been disturbing to people living near the street. North Wilkesboro is now rid of cobble stone surface with the exception of the one block on Ninth street between the depot and Main street. Perhaps the city will be in position to cover them at a not far dis tant date. Autumn In The Mountains Within a few days the first frost of the season will fall on the leaves of the forest ctf the mountains and nature will dip its paint brush into multi-colored paint to make the most beautiful scenes under heaven. Some love the flowers of spring and the greeen of summer but to others the most beautiful season of the year is fall. Cool breezes as relief from summer heat blend ■with beauty in making a season of splen dor. The tourists and outing season in north western North Carolina should not be over when summer is done. It should only be reaching its height. No one should miss the mountains when they are clad in the gay colors of fall. New Automobiles Automobile models for the year 1940 are being introduced and big volume sales ctf the new models is anticipated. The manufacturers have a habit of put- ing out such good looking cars every year that they create a desire to buy. The 1940 models which have been shown and others to be shown soon are very attractive and are really good machines. An automobile made today represents great improvement over those of only ten years ago and the good thing about it all is that their cost is no more. There is no comparison between the service and comfort whdch can be had from an automobile now and those of ten years ago. Vast improvements have been made, not a great amount in any one year but when the 1940 model is put up against the models of ten years ago there is little comparison. - ^ .«r The automobile industry has done a good job in providing more value for mon ey expended. The automobiles are better and more attracHive. They are made just as safe as engineers know how to make them and at least 99 accidents out of every hundred are caused by the drivers or by materials and circumstances not caused by the way in which the cars are made. We fear that improvement in drivers of automobiles has not kept pace with im provement of the machines they operate. ♦ — Seven Rules For Safety The outstanding fire prevention authori ty of the nation has issued a set of seven fire prevention rules which, intelligently observed, would go a long way toward keeping the fire demon under control. 1. Use electricity safely. That means that all electric wiring and equipment should be installed in accordance with the National Electrical Code, and that re pairing and installation should be done by an -expert workman. Amateur electric ifork is one of the fire’s best fnenda. 2. Smoke in safe places only, rraat goes for your home, your office, w fac tory in which you work, Ifor^e ouW^ fwywbere else. tiUtehes and srh untold millions of 1y yearly. ^ ^ 3, Remember that great fires were small fires to start with. Proper binldinff construction, plus good fireprote^o^ would make it possible to prevent almost any fire from serious spreading. 4. Fire breeds in oily waste—keep all such waste in a closed metal container. - 6. Carelessness and ignorance are of ten the cause of explosive fires. Here is a rule especially applicable to workmen m industry, who should thoroughly under stand the possible fire dangers involved in their particular jobs. 6. In many factories and places of bus iness special fire hazards exist, which re quire unusual precaution and vigilance. 7. Cleanliness is a great aid to fire pre vention. Keep your basement, garage, at tic and closets clear of litter. Every one of those rules ia simple—all can be easily observed. Observing them may save your home or business—^nd, in finitely more important, human lives. *1^' 4-H Meniberg to See ars woritepf I»rop«r.

Borrowed Comment HUNTING MAY BE DANGEROUS (Mount Airy News) The hunting season will soon present its annual toll of dead hunters as the sports men take their guns and stalk the elusive quari".. It might not be amiss to urge all hunters to be cautious in their handling of fire arms, in the discharge of their weapons at what they think is game and in generally maintaining an attitude of the highest pru dence in connection with hunting. Many children in the United States will take up the sport this fall for this fir ; time. Older persons, a.ssuming responsi bility for their guidance, should not over look the necessity of teaching them the proper method of handling firearms. A little time, devoted to this task, may save a human being who is worth more to you than the game that the woods and fields offer to you as sportsmen.

GROOM IN STAR ROLE (Reidsville Review) Another variation of l^ie story about a bridegroom who got written up in the pap er is going around. Here it is: Mr. Miram Norcross became the bride groom of Miss Emily Lewis in a pretty ceremony today. He was attended by Mr. Schultz as groomsman. As the groom ap peared he was the cynosure of all eyes. “He was charmingly clad in a going- away three-piece suit, consistting of coat, vest and pants. A pretty story was cur rent among the guests to the effect that the same one worn by his father and grandfather on their wedding days, but he shyly evaded questioning on this sentimen tal touch. “The severe simplicity of the groom’s pants was relieved by the right pant leg being artistically caught up by a hose sup porter, revealing a glimpse of brown hole- proof sock above the genuine leather shoe. “Blue galluses grace(fully curved over each shoulder were attached to the pants for and af, while a loosely-knotted blue tie ($500) as damages to _ rode under his left ear above a starched.

BOASTFUL GESTURE (Fayetteville Observer) Germany’s gesture in the delivery to Rumania of 12 fighting planes which had been ordered before the outbreak of the war was a gesture such as inhabitants of besieged cities were wont to make in the olden days when they would toss loaves of bread down from the walls to show their attiackers the folly of trying to starve them out. Bits of the news here and bits of news there pieced together indicate that Bri tain and France are building up an air fleet designed to shoot the German planes out of Uhe skies, control the air, and methodically bomb Germany into subm5s- sion. There is no indication that this attack will come before spring at the earliest. By that time the Allies will have accu mulated sufficient numbers of warplanes,', supplies of gasoline and complements of trained pilots to be aggressive in the air In the meantime their policy appears to be one of only moderate aerial activity, cautiously conserving their fighting planes against the day designated to show Ger many what a horror aerial warfare can be at Wilkesboro, North Carolina, on the 8th day of November, 1939 and answer or demur to the complaint of th% plaintiff ini’ said action or the plaintiff will apply to the Court for the relief demanded said complaint.

WILKES 1“^ / AS PEATUIED IN Payne Clothing Company North Wilkesboro, N. C. THE BLACK OUT (Oxford Public Ledger) Progressive business people do not want a business black out. 'To avoid such a sit uation, they keep their advertising before the public, through responsible advertis- i. .g medium. Customers come from the home. The most effective advertising message is the one thafl goes into the home and penetrates into the heart ojf the family circle as inti mately as does the family newspaper. The merchant who fails to keep his in vitation ■ before the family circle, telling them of the things available at his store and which are desired by that family, is creating his own black out—one t^t will eventually destroy his hasbess. ^ NOTICE OF SALE North (Carolina, Wilkes County Mrs. D.
