Library Months At Woman's Club During these depressed times, with shorter working hours made possible by the NRA, why not bring back the good old days when the family gathered around the fireside each evening to iead and discuss stories of adventure, biographies of our great leaders and many other things of vital interest to us all. It is one of the cheapest and most interesting and edifying of recrea tions. "We know youth canont wait, a girl or boy cannot grow up twice, their character forming days are liv ing along. We may declare a mo ratorium on finance but we cannot declare a moratorium on the de velopment of character. "The individual, state or nation who plants a dollar for the sole pur pose of growing dollars will find that the worthwhie things in life does not come in that way as Is being proven in our present econo mic situation. Henry Wentworth's dollar was turned deep under the sod, but though the sun shone on ; it and the rain fell, nothing came from it; not a green tiling, not a singing thing, not a human soul." If we want to reap good things; profitable things, we must sow good | seed. The growth of our library has! not measured up to the increased reading, simply because we have not been financially able to buy new books from time to time. We needj books and Wentworth's dollar plant- ! ed in books for the Woman's Club libary, I believe will bring bounteous returns that will be felt more and more as the years go by. A south- | ern educator said recently that onej of the great needs of the south was ! "an evangelism in behalf of libra- j ries that measure up to the best national standard." So let us en- ' list upon a crusade and refuse to | lay down arms until every person in the county has easy access to li brary facilities. It is very gratifying to see the < !

If we can wake up the public, every where, to the full realization of the vital need of a public circulat ing library tor the benefit of all, we will have no trouble in getting help to make this a reality in Per son bounty. The library contains so great a variety of companions between cov ers waiting for you to call for them. In your community if there is not a congenial friend of your liking there is a book with just that friend who will inspire, amuse, entertain and console you. "After studying our social and economic problems for many years, I have crane to the conclusion that the only solution for most of them lies in education, the kind that pro motes disinterested thinking and suspended judgment Any commun ity which maintains a well adminis tered, adequately supported public library, provides one of the best means for acquiring such educa tion." ?

(Continued next week) Chevrolet Aopoints Long-Time Employes As Asst. Executives Detroit, Mich., Nov. 1. ? Appoint ment of H. B. Hatch and Felix Do ran, Jr., as his two new assistants was announced today by William E. Holler, general sales manager of the Chevrolet Motor Company. Both men are long-time Chevrolet emnlcyes. Mr. Hatch is particularly well known here through having been Detroit zone manager and central office executive, and Mr. Doran comes into his executive po sition with a record for unusual performance as manager of the company's region centering a t Dallas, Texas, where he has been since May 1926. Mr. Hatch, a native of Burlington. Vt? entered the automobile business in 1916 in retail sales capacities. He was a First Lieutenant in the 41st Infantry during the War, and joinj ed the Chevrolet organization April 1, 1921, as field representative on the Pacific Coast. In 1925 he was nam ed assistant manager of the Port land, Ore., zone, and on Aug. 1 of the same year zone manager at Baltimore. April 1, 1930 he came to Detroit as zone manager ,and was instru mental In greatly ' Increasing the company's percentage of business in Wayne county. Nov. 1, 1931 he was promoted to regional manager at the Norwood, O., plant with a half dozen zones under his jurisdiction. Exactly one year later he was brought to the central office to work on special assignments. Mr. Dorans' record with Chevro let dates back to June 1919, when he came out of the Army and went to work in the Fort Worth offices where Texas sales activities then ww centered. Two years later he went to Kansas City, where a like period was spent. In 1923 he was transferred to Oklahoma City, where he served as assistant zone man ager. A year was spent In New . Orleans, opening up a new zone, | followed by approximately a year in Pittsburg. | In May, 1926, Mr. Doran was transferred to Dallas, and except for six months during which he served as assistant to A. W. L Gilpin at St. Louis, he has been in Dallas ever since, first as zone manager and then, from Jan. 1, 1928 until this week, as regional manager. o You Too, Can Help! The saying, "Beautiful Homes Make Beautiful Communities," is true only in part, unless the church es and public Institutions of the communities are also made beau tiful. It is with pride that we note that much has been done in Per son County in recent months to wards permanent improvements and beautific&tion of our school ! and church grounds.. We shoulcTBe j^riicufaijy Inter ested in the improvements which have been started at our county i home. Through the aid of relief j labor, the yard there has been graded and shaped into fine con dition for a lawn. A beautiful rock wall with columns has been con structed, and a good driveway, .en circling the yard from the highway, has been made. The only remaining need to finish the work is the sow ing of the grass and the planting of. the shrubbery on the grounds! Through the efforts of the ladies of the Garden Club of Roxboro, we have been fortunate in having the services of Col. Blair, landscape gardener from the relief office in Raleigh, to make blueprints and suggestions relative to the proper layout of the shrubbery. Not having any money in the county home funds, we are unable to carry out Col. Blair's suggestions unless we can get aid from some source other that what is promised. The ladies Garden Club has very generously offered to do all that| they can towards buying the shrub bery, but their help must be sup plemented with help from else where. Therefore, as chairman of the board of county commissioners in your county, I am making appeal to you to help us complete, this work. I feel sure that there are many people who have a piece or two of spare shrubbery that they would be glad to contribute to the beautifying of our county home. If so, ptease let me know what kind you can furnish; and if it can be !

Respectfuly yours, F. D. Long. MR. HANCOCK PROTESTS What Representative Hancock is understood to be saying, in effect, is that if the export tobacco trade had been as well looked after as the domestic trade the growers would have received for the crop that parity, 17 cents, which Wash ington officialdom assured growers their full powers would be exerted to get. ! What Mr. Hancock is saying, dis tinctly, is that the government could have backed the market, "gov ernment buying through contact I with independent dealers," and with minimum prices based on qual- j ity, with standardization of grades; and that this I? feasible, with re duction of acreage for next year, and in the circumstance that stocks are lover than they have been in years. Mr. Hancock is, for the moment at least, going along positively with the left wing element causing such acute disquiet, particularly to right wingers. The rule of politics being what it is, it is possible that Re presentative Hancock is demagog - uing. It is familiar knowledge to its readers that this newspaper re gards Hancock as trustworthy a man as there is in public life. Our conclusion is that what he contends, therefore, is that left or right, radi cal or conservative, take it or leave it, like it or not, . the authorities have not handled this export to bacco business as well as it could have been handled, or as well at they engaged to handle it. ?

GATES / I keep coming back to that word "balanced" on the back of the Chesterfield package YOU often hear the word balance something is out of balance ? top heavy, not on an "even keel." What you read, "Chesterfield Cigarettes are a balanced blend," means that the right amounis'fff th?* right kinds of tobacco are welded together; that is, home-grown to baccos, the right kind, the right quantity ? are blended and cross-blended with tobac cos from Turkey and Greece. When these tobaccos are balanced one against the other, then you have a mild cigarette. When they are in balance, then you have a better-tasting cigarette. May we ask you to read again the statement on the back of the Chesterfield package? May u>e ask you to try Chesterfield ? 1 A Balanced Blend ? 1WJ, Liecrrr ft Mr?** Tobacco Co.
