Tarboro, July 13.—Competing a gainst four other contestants in the eastern district essay contest of the North Carolina Cotton Growers Cooperative Association, Ui'-s Irene Whitehurst, 16-year-old Coneto High School graduate, won first prize of $10 and the right to enter the State final contest which will be held in Raleigh July 28. Miss Grace Mewborn, 13-year-old Snow Hill High School junior, and Julian H. Shaw, of Littleton, who was graduated from Aurelian Springs High School last spring, tied for second place and each was presented with prizes of $7.50. Third prize of $5 went to Miss Mil dred Davis, of Ffendleton, and fourth of $2.50 to Miss Mary Lane, of Hertford. The prizes were delivered by Janies B. Lloyd, Tarboro newspap erman, who made a strong speech in which he pointed out the many benefits derived from the essay work. M. G. Mann, of Raligh, secretary treasurer of the cotton association, who presided over the contest, call ed attention to the fact that in the Eastern district every student in six schools participated in the contest this year. The six one hundred per cent schools were an nounced as Battleboro, Severn, Per quimas, Rock Ridge, Saratoga and Conetoe. Pointing out that the essay con test is of great educational value, Dr. Joseph G. Knapp, associate agricultural economist at State College, said he would term “Ru ral North Carolina’s Greatest Need,” subject of the contest this year, “a perpetuation of the essay contest into future years.” In her essay Miss Whitehurst, who will compete in the State fin als in Raleigh, July 28th, against three other district winners for first prize of a college scholarship, termed rural North Carolina’s Greatest need as “Organization.” She called for organization in the marketing and buying of farm pro ducts, organization of banking and storage facilities, and organization that would control production. Starting early in the spring a series of school, county and field district elimination contests were held to select the winner of the eastern district. The easter dis trict, of which Miss Whitehurst is champion, is composed of the fol lowing 15 counties: Northampton, Hertford, Halifax, Nash, Vance, Pitt, Martin, Chowan, Bertie, Gates, Edgecombe, Gran ville, Beaufort, Washington, and Perquimans.

More Chevrolets Produced In June Than In 2 Years Production of new Chevrolet cars and trucks in June more than doubled output for the correspond ing month last year and was the largest single month’s production in two years. With a total output of 81,57' units, June compares with 36,14 in June last year and with 68,538 in May this year, previously the best month since June, 1931. i The high June total was made possible only by the splendid mor ale and co-operation extended by the more than 36,000 employes now on the company payrolls. Every effort has been made thru the depression, it was pointed out, to provide for regular Chevrolet vcrkers, Through regulating hours of work per week to retail de mand, and by building up parts tocks :n ean seasons, it has bee possible for eleven months of each ■ear since 1929 to hold Chevrolet payrols to tvithin ten per cent o ’ the average cf 32.500 men.

DISTRESS AFTER MEALS Relieved By Black-Draught "I had sour stomach and gas,” writes Mr. Jess Higgins, of Daw sonville, Ga., “and often I would have bilious spells. I read about Thedford’s Black-Draught and be gan to take it. It relieved me of this 1' mble. I keep it all the time now. ). consider it a fine medicine. I take a pinch of Black-Draught after meals when I need it. It helps to prevent sick headache and to keep the system in good order.” Get a package at the store. Try it! Now you can get Black-Draught in the form of a SYRUP, for Children. ^ ^ Sill irfkiWl —neither strong enough, nor safe enough, nor quiet enough for the body of a quality car like CHEVROLET Why is it that every 12 cylinder and 16-cylin der car in America has bodies of at eel reinforced by hardwood? Why is it that every make of car selling for over $4000 uses bodies of exactly the same type? Why? For the same reason that Chevrolet uses it exclusively. Because every test and every experiment have definitely proved: STEEL ALONE IS NOT ENOUGH! The trouble with steel alone is that It’ stands just so much shock and punish ment. Steel alone is also inclined to rumble and rattle. BUT—when you put the two together—a heavy, staunch steel body over tough, solid hardwood —then the hardwood reinforces the steel—and vice versa! And the re i suit: the strongest, safest type of body, such as Fisher builds for Chevrolet. si CHEVROLET MOTOR CO., DETROIT, MICH. All prices /. o. b. Flint, Michigan. Special equipment extra.
