ROTARY-KIWANIS
CLUBS MEET IN
JOINT SESSION
On last Thursday evening at the
Womans' club building the Rotar
ians and the Kiwanians met in a
Joint session with the tidies of the
Womans' Club serving a delicious
three course dinner. The two clubs
were almost one hundred per cent
in attendance, with the Rotarians
having a slight edge on the Kiwan
ians in members present.
Following a few words of welcome
by O. B. McBroom, president of the
Rotary Club and Baxter Mangum,
president of the Kiwanls Club, and
a few announcements by each per
tinent to the. week's program for
their respective clubs, the program
for the evening was turned over to
Kiwanian Furman Herbert, toast
master for the occasion. He spoke
briefly 00 friendly relations between
the two clubs, followed by Rotarian
West who pointed out that "K"
could stand for "Kindness" as well 1
as Kiwanis, and that "R" could
stand for "Reliability" as well as
Rotary. His remarks centered about j
the relations that should exist be-!
tween the two clubs and what they i
could mean to a community. -
Rotarian George Kane instructed
the "Young Kiwanis Club" in the
ways of civic clubs, warning them
of the pitfalls that awaited them on
their way. Kiwanian J. Sam Mer
ritt was introduced and he, in turn,
introduced various members of the
two clubs, telling of their many
noble features and giving away their
pet sins. Rotarian John Mangum
gave' some interesting and valuable
figuies on the position of the Rox
boro tobacco market, along with a
plea for the two clubs to do all in
their power to foster this market.
He was followed by Rotarian Howard
Strang who pointed out that a great
need for Roxboro was being carried
on to a certain degree by the two
clubs, with the help of %other civic
organizations. He made several con
structive and helpful suggestions!
along these lines. _i

accompanied by Miss Katherine Hat
chett at the piano. The entire pro- !
gram was made of fun, laughtc,
and a singing contest between the;
two clubs; with a serious note drop
ped tin here and there. It was de
clared one of the finest meetings
that had ever been held by either
club, and a vote of thanks was ex
tended to Mr. Herbert and his com
mittee for their splendid work in
planning it."
TIRES BORE BRUNT
OF 500-MILE RACE
SAYS MR. CLARK
The story of how tires made pos
sible new speeds and eliminated pit
stops in the 500-mile International
Sweepstakes at Indianapolis May 30
was told today by Mr. Lawrence
Clark, manager of Central Service
Corp., Firestone dealers in this sec
tion. It was the I5th consecutive
year Firestone Tires have equipped
the winning cars, but this year tires
were more vital than ever before.
"The new fuel limit of 45 gallons
meant that the drivers had to elim
inate forced pit stops." Mr. Clark
said. "They had to have tires that
could stand hours of terrific pound
ing. No other 500 miles of race Or
road tests puts such a strain or re
sponsibility on tires.
"Lap speeds up to 120 miles an
hour this year meant 150 miles per
hour or faster on the straightaway.
There is terrific outward thrust on
the tires in negotiating the curves.
The momentum of the cars as they
dive into the turns brings an un
controllable action that is called
drifting,' by which the car, though
headed in the right direction, tends
to sweep over the embankments. It
takes supreme skill and utmost
strength of steel and rubber to avoid
disaster.
"At such speeds one would expect
the tires to be almost entirely worn
away. But inspection of a Fire
stone tire after it had gone the full
500 miles showed the amazing fact
that there was very little sign of
wear. The engineers have perfected
tread stocks that withstand high
speeds and friction at almost Are
heat caused by the tread grinding
on the brick track
"But even more important is an
engineering feature embodied ? with
in the tire. It is the patented gum
dipping process by which the high
stretch cords are soaked in liquid
rubber, protecting them against in
ternal friction which would cause
destructive heat and deterioriatlon.
It also safety-locks the cords and
gives greater adhesion and flexibility
to the tire. At 120'.miles an hour
toe centrifugal force in the tire in
creases its circumference at least
ten per cent and often much more,
and the tread would be thrown oft
were it not for this vital gum-dip
ping which welds the tire into one
strong cohesive unit.
"The same process is a protection
for the motorists whose cars we
equip with Firestone tires," Mr.
Clark concluded. "It means longer
wear because It minimizes internal
heat. It givee the new high speed
tire for 1034 the greatest blowout
protection of any tire made."

Lesson
By Rev. Charles E. Dunn
JESUS ON THE CROSS
Lesson for June 10. Matthew 27
Golden Text: Hebrews 12:2
Some feel it is morbid to empha
size the Cross, that it is more whole
some to stress the life of Jesus than
His. death. His happiness than His
sorrow. His teachings rather than
His sacrifice. But there is nothing
undersirable in facing the Cross so
berly, without mawkish tears. At
once we are impressed by its protest,
its searching rebuke of our "godless
society. In the light of-the cruel-'
fixion we note the blackness of the'
human heart. i
The Cross, too, is a supreme reve
lation of suffering. We think of Je
sus hanging helplessly in unspeak
ablep ain, the horrors of which we
can only faintly imagine, enduring a
shame so desolating that it is no|
wonder He felt God had forsaken
Him.
Now there is comfort ill our
Master's pain. In the midst of their
own agony men have discovered in
Christ a consoling Bellow-Sufferer.
The plain truth is that the Cross is
"the typical and representative
agony of the world," as one novelist
says "of it. In the Louvre there is
a striking painting of Jesus on the
Cross, at the foot of which the artist
has placed a desolate figure, veiled
in darkness, lcooking up at the in
scription, "He himself has endured
greater.-sufferings."
Note, too, the complete submis
sion of Jesus. This is well voiced
by Katherine Mansfield, a victim or
tuberculosis, who wrote in her Jour
nal: "One must submit. Take it.
Be overwhelmed. Accept it fully."
But we rightly think of the Cross
as an expression of victory.
Miss Mansfield says elsewhere.
"I dd not want to die without leav
ing ^.record of my belief that suf
fcring'ican be overcome." Exactly!
Suffering can be defeated. In one
sense, the Cross marks the greatest
failure in history, for the Master
hangs there defeated and broken.
But in a higher sense the Cross 's
history's greatest success. For the
Lord of glory reigns there as King!
CHEVROLET IN
LEAD 2ND MONTH
Passenger car registrations for
ApAl pftte Chevrolet In the lead
for the second consecutive month,
according,, to Motor St atlstics re-,
leased by R. L. Polk and Company.
Chevrolet registered' 63,458 passen
ger cars during April of 38.2 pW"
cent of price class. This April figure
Shows an increase of 12.662 units
over the March registration figure
when Chevrolet led the entire In
dustry in passenger cars by regis
tering 50.796 units or 38.3 per cent
of price class, Ji
Chevrolet maintained the lead in
the commercial car and truck field,
making an impressive showing by
registering 15.050 units in April.
Total registrations of Chevrol ;t
commercial cars and trucks for the
year tbfough April were 49,797 units,
47.4 per cent of weight class.
Registration figures for March and
April definitely establish Chevrolet
as America's fastest selling car and
forecast another year of Chevrolet
1 dominance In tin- automotive In
dustry. Chevrolet has led the In
dustry in sales during five of -. the
last seven years.

He is now gone to his reward
but we feel his going made earth
poorer and heaven richer. We know
that we can't see him any more
[here on earth, but we can live in
I such a way that we can meet him
.in heaven where there'll be no more
I pain and death, nothing but peace
.and Joy.
I We wish to take this method of
i thanking his many friends and
[ neighbors who so kindly assisted
him and them that just spoke one
comforting word during his illness
and death, and especially Dr. J. H.
Merritt, who so faithfully attended
to him. All was done that loving
friends and a good doctor could do
i but nothing could stay the cold
hand of death. God saw fit to take
him to that beautiful home in
heaven. His loving brother.

Electricity is the fastest thing in the world. Years of
engineering research finally resulted in releasing this
magic speed for cooking purposes.
With the improved high speed units there is no waiting,
and the modern electric element brings glowing, intense
heat in direct contact with the cooking utensils, with a
minimum loss of heat.
The modern Electric Range has been accelerated to
meet the modern woman's demand for more speed in her
kitchen.
