Will the Fourth of July be celebrat- 1 ed on as laTge a scale in Sanford this I years at is was last year? Maybe Mr. A. K. Miller and others who put drew an unusually large crowd* can ? answer this question. If we are to * .celebrate the Fourth this year and 1 put on a program including such things as a street parade, athletic contests, exhibitions of various kinds* races, street dances, etc., it is time to J get busy, as the time for getting up ~l these things is .short.

In a letter to the conference, Dr. Sikes said: ‘‘I think the Kiwanis club should give more publicity to plans for facilitating the economic 'recovery of the _Carolinas, with a view to changing the mental attitude, to eliminatinjr pessimism and substi tuting optimism.” ' Hie conference of past governors preceded an inter-city meeting of clubs in division 4, including Aber deen Benson, Fayetteville, Lumber ton, Raeford, Smithfield, Sanford and Selina. Lieut-Gov. Robert N. Page presided, and each club gave a 10 minute program. The Fayetteville Club presented-’the benefits of the de velopment of the Cape Fear river as a means of _water communication in reducing freight changes.

SANFORD, N r ( After the FiV*^ 'Twenty-five Thousand Miles The VALUE of sound design, good materials and careful craftsmanship is especially apparent in the new Ford after the first twenty-five thousand miles. Long, continuous service emphasizes its mechanical reliability and economy of operation and up-keep. As you drive the.Ford through many months and years you will develop an increasing pride in its appearance and a growing respect for the substantial worth that has been built into it. From every standpoint—in everything that goes to make a good automobile—you will know that you have made a far-seeing, satisfactory purchase. Wherever you go, you hear enthusiastic praise of the car and this significant, oft-repeated phrase—“I’m glad I bought a Ford.” A FORD owner in New York tells of a 13,000-mile trip across the United States and back in sixty dins and says “the car wag extremely economical to operate, com fortable and speedy.” A grateful father tells how the Triplex shatter-proof glass windshield saved his wife and children ■ from serious injury. To test tires, a large company drove a new Ford day and night, for an average of 500 miles every twenty-four hours. It was still giving satisfactory service after 105,000 miles. A Ford car that had fallen into Feraan Lake was submerged for twelve days be fore being raised. After a new battery and carburetor bowl were installed, it was driven back to Spokane under its own power. Many police departments have written of the special advantages of the Ford in crowded traffic because of its alert speed, acceleration, and case of control. An in creasing number of fleet owners are also purchasing the Ford because their cost figures have given conclusive proof of its economy of operation and up-keep. In addition to important triumphs in Germany, France and Italy, the Ford won six ont of sevefl leading places in a contest in Finland, first and second in the Rafaela races in Argentina, first and second in the run from Copenhagen-to-Paris-to-Copen liagen, three gold medals in England, firs# ranking in the durability test over the tortuous Amancaes road in Peru, and first place in the 1930 reliability run conducted by the Royal Automobile Club of Sweden. This contest was an exceptionally se vere test of endurance and sturdy con struction because it was held in the dead ofi winter and covered 600 miles of steady running over snow-covered country roads and mountainous hills.
