THE HERALD Of The Twin Cities ROANOKE RAPIDS—ROSEMARY CARROLL WILSON, Publisher and Editor ■■tend as Second Clast matter April 3rd, 1914, at the Poetoflice at Reanoke Rapida, North Carolina, under Act af March 3rd, 1879. PRINTERS, LITHOGRAPHERS, ENGRAVERS WHY A CIRCULATION DRIVE Many of our friends and readers want to know why it is necessary to go to the expense and trouble of an intensive campaign for new subscriptions and they also wonder how in the world a newspaper can afford to offer such in ducements. In answering these questions as to why such proceedure is necessary, we wish to state that fetf newspapers hope to make any money on their subscriptions. The one dollar and a half per year hardly pays for the blank papers and 52 mailings. The revenue from a newspaper comes from the advertising and the success of that advertis ing is in proportion to the number of readers and the reader-interest a newspaper has. The rate which can be charged for that advertising is likewise based on the number of readers. There fore, in order to get and hold advertising and in order to be able to charge a fair amount for same it is necessary to have subscribers, paid in ad vance for the year or a period of years. Other methods have Deen tried to Duud up circulation on weekly newspapers, but they are all drawn-out, spasmodic and never as successful as the plan now being used by practically every weekly paper in the country along the lines of the one being held by this paper. In six weeks, the stress and strain of getting the bulk of your sub scribers in has happened and is over. You then have the necessary figures to impress your local and foreign advertisers and upon which to base future rates. Instead of always messing with the mailing lists, they are compiled and complet ed after the campaign and remain practically un touched for a year. You concentrate in those six weeks all the work that might drag along for twelve months, and the results are far more sat isfactory. You have a live, interested group of readers who are paid up and who are never bothered with pesky collectors thruout the year. Now, as to the cost of such campaigns: it is true they are expensive. But it is the same story as that of the pair of shoes. Pay more and you get a pair of shoes that fit better, feel better, last longer. While these campaigns are appar ently costly, with an even break, it is possible to come out with a good list of subscribers, prizes and expenses paid for and a few dollars in the bank to buy paper and ink for several months. Of course, thr-e is no guarantee. The paper takes a risk; but '.nen, we newspapermen feel that most every business venture and everything else in life has its risks and uncertainties—so here goes. You can help us—we are giving you a read able, newsy, interesting, helpful newspaper. \ou may not always agree with our editorials or policies. We know it is impossible to please ev erybody—we do not try to do the impossible. But you must admit, whether you agree with every thing we do or say, that we are giving you your money’s worth. It’s your home town and county paper. You need not be ashamed of it. Every home should have it. You can help us and help some hard worker by subscribing now during this campaign. We could have waited and waited for times to pick up—but we feel that we are helping good times to tome back by taking the bud by the horns and starting something like this right now with better times and happy days just around the corner. The merchants and business men can help us—it is to their benefit to see that a copy of tins paper goes into every home in their trading terri tory in order to carry their messages of values and bargains thruout the year. They can help by boosting the workers, by talking to prospects, by cooperating in every way. A good newspaper is the sign of a good com munity, just as are good churches, schools, busi ness houses and public improvements. THE FIGHTING GOVEKNOK Governor U. Max Gardner made a speech the other day before the 1931 General Assembly. It is not so Important whether we agree with some of the drastic measures he recommended. All were prompted with the best interests of the State foremost in the Governor's mind. The outstanding feature of the address was that North Carolina can point with a great deal of pride to a Chief Executive who was not afraid to speak his mind and who met and wrestled with touchy problems in a fearless and unassail able manner. There was no beating around the brush or the taking of long and devious rheto rical lanes in the Governor's handling of the pa ramount issues of the day. Among those who iike a strong, fearless, honest man to speak his convictions, regardless A' the consequences, Governor Gardner made more friends last Friday. IS $70.78 TOO MUCH? The average annual salary of teachers in the white schools of North Carolina during the past year was $849.41. This did not include the sup- 1 plements paid to the teachers in seven or eight ( jf the larger city school systems, where the cos', jf living is considerably higher than in the ru ral districts. The salary figure given above is the state salary schedule which is now in force. . iVhen this figure is divided by twelve, which represents the twelve months of the year, it will tie found that the average monthly salaries of white teachers in the schools of North Carolina was $70.78. The question that the Legislature must decide w$ien it proposes to cut the state salary schedule on a horizontal basis is this: Is $70.78 too high a salary to pay our teachers?

CLARK, Trustee. 4t-Jan 22 Service of Summons By Publication NORTH CAROLINA, HALIFAX COUNTY. IN THE SUPERIOR COURT, HAUFAX COUNTY, Plaintiff ▼a. MRS. ELVA RICE ana her husband - —RICE. The defendants, MRS. ELVA RICE and her husband, are required to take notice that an action, entitled as above, has been commenced in the Superior Court of Halifax County, for the purpose of I foreclosing the lien of a certain cer tificate of tax sale, which was exe cuted and delivered to the plaintiff, HALIFAX COUNTY, by G. H. John son, Sheriff of Halifax County, N. C., on June 3rd, 1929, against certain land in Roanoke Rapids Township, Halifax County, North Carolina, list ed in the name of the defendant, MRS. ELVA RICE as of May 1st, 1928 and described as 1 Lot Roanoke Rapida Township, and the said defendants, MRS. ELVA RICE and her husband, will further take notice that they are required to appear at the office of the Clerk of the Superior Court for the County of Halifax, at the Court House in Halifax, N. C., not later than thirty days after the 15th day tf January, 1931, and answer or de mur to the complaint, filed in said ac tion, or plaintiff will apply to the Court for the relief demanded in the j complaint. , various quarter* of the state whew the economic pressure has" bfc«n th< greatest that there be a cut in th< salary schedule from 10 t o25 pel cent. If we cut 10 per cent from thi salaries of teachers, it will mean tha during the cming year they woul< work for an average monthly salar: of less than $65. If we cut 20 pel cent it would mean they would hav< to work for an average monthly sal ary of $56.54. The thing that the public needs tc keep in mind is that the teacher has to live twelve months in the year, al though she does not actually draw her salary more than six, eight, or ten months. The average annual sal ary for rural teachers last year was $772.12. The average for teachers in the special chartered schools was $1,045.35. The increase in the sala ries of the special chartered school teachers was due to two facts: first, on the whole they had more train ing and their certificates therefore commanded a little higher salary; and second, in most instances, they taught longer than did the teachers in the rural schools, because all teachers working on a six-months basis are in the rural schools of the state. As a matter of fact, all of the teachers in special chartered schools work from eight to ten months. These are the actual salar ies in which the state participates. These are the salaries the statewould ut if it adopts a horizontal reduc :ion. Another point that the public leeds to keep in mind in considering salary cuts is that the supplements, or so-called bonuses, are in the ;cvon or eight larger school systems >f the state. These are in the cities vhere the cost of living is higher and he vast majority of these bonuses r supplements are paid by those ci ies and counties which do not par icipate in the equalizing fund.
