Today four ladies leave the stage of public life after a successful 2iyear run. The men are resuming command without opposition, just as the hem was turned over to the ladies at the last town election. A little tired-, they point with pride to: A new U6.000 gymnas- ium, a lunch room for the school, a much needed drainage project begun, employment for women in a WPA mattress project, main streets improved through aid ob tained from the Strte Highway Commission, and a treasurer’s re port “all accounts paid in full.’’ Playing the leading role—that of mayor and judge—has 'been Anna Dixon Wilson, a buoyant grandmother. The neighborhood vouche.s for her good old Souti; ern cooking, her flower culture, her business acumen, and her success as an insurance agent. With wisdom .md great dispatch, she can hold court, then rnsh (Monday). Other members are: M. L. El more, owner of the store where the town wives exchange the news over cokes each morning. He be- gins his eighth term as mayor to day! T. M. Humphrey, farmer and brother-in-law of retiring town clerk Helen; S’. West, stock raiser, 'merchant and farmer, whose favorite mare last Sunday presented him with "'my prettiest and only 'birthday present”; and G. W. Merrlt, grocer. “Well, we let the women have their say for two years, now It’s our turn!” said genial Mayor El more. ’ ’jv’ff 'f? = Raleigh, U*rr.

This in formation is nsed in the locating of Industries, In plenning training programs-, and in transferring available surplus labor. “North Carolina is just begin ning to feel the effects of a tight ening labor market in industry,” Mr. Powell said. “Other States have felt it so keenly that several Verge out-of-State employors, with defense contracts, are asking the Employment Service in North Carolina to recruit workers for them. This may be nece-ssary for defense purposes, but our Service wants to use North Carloina workers In North Carolina jobs wherever possible. During the paet six months defense construc tion has utilized fully the skilled construction labor of the State, and shipyards, bases, and new camps will continue to call for both skilled and unskilled con struction workers.” An increasing num-ber of pro duction defense contracts are be ing approved for North Carolina, and, others arc expected in the near future.

Diesel-powered ocean vessels... great double-deck busses... heavy haulage tractor trucks... massive power plants... first used Fluid Drive. They sought—and found in Fluid Drive— power transmission as flexible as steam. But they demanded efficiency and economy. They required the ability to pick up great loads easily . . . they demanded savings in operation and in upkeep. And so industry has increasingly adopted Fluid Drive. Chrysler engineers were first to see the im mense advantages of Fluid Drive in a motor car. They perfected and adopted this scien tific principle ... gave it to the public first in Chrysler cars three years ago. Now Chrysler’s perfected Fluid Drive is available on all Chrysler models. Fluid Drive gives you double economy in- your Chrysler—first, efficient application of power; second, longer car life because of les sened wear and strain from jerks and jolts. Why shift gearsWhy pump a clutch.^ Why not save on both operation and upkeep.^ The nearest Chrysler dealer cordially in vites you tp make a real test'of Fluid Drive efficiency and ease.
