Well, our records show that, each week, more than 2,700 people pay for The Press. And experts in such matter figure that, nation-wide, an average of four persons read each copy of a newspaper. And 4 tiniQs 2,700 comes out at 10, 800. I That figure, though, almost certain Iv is low very low. Because all the evidence is that more people read each copy of The Press ? and read it more thoroughly ? than is true of any daily newspaper, or of most weeklies. Thus the chances are 15,000 to 20,000 read The Press each week. But, to he conservative, we take the national average of just 4 readers per 'copy and put the total number of read ers?at "more than 10,000".

It is different in many ways. For one thing, it is old; its "town common", a city park, was estab lished in 1760, a marker says. The things that made Tarboro most distinctive, though, were its avenues of shade trees ? its streets, even in the business .dis trict, are pleasantly ' and beauti fully shaded ? and its lack of parking meters. Instead of putting in meters, I was told. Tarboro has built parking lots. Not a parking meter in the town! I could not help contrasting the situatidn with the one in Franklin, where, it seems to me. ! whenever a- place to park be comes available, there's a race i between the motorist and the J town, the latter with a parking '< meter in its hand.
