RED CROSS DRIVE IS SUCCESS This Year $200 Ahead of Last Year And Rates Well With War Day Roll Calls The local Red Cross drive went over the top with a bang, total ing $200 more than the amount obtained last year. This year the total reported to date is $614.18 while last year $415.61 was ob tained. Employees of Roanoke Mills Co. led the field with those of Patter son Mills Co. coming in second and Rosemary Mfg. Co. third. Roan ke and Patterson Mills, where Red Cross orders were fill ed Inst year for flannels, were speeded up in the Roll Call by an explanation from F. C. Williams, who led the drive for those two mills. Mr. Williams had reminded the employees of the Red Cross orders and they responded in hand some manner. The Virginia Electric & Power Cp. contributed the largest single subscription of the Roll Call. That company took out a fifty dollar membership. Particularly good reports came from the two business sections where H. S. Loy, C. C. Shell, Bob deaton and Heath Lee did good work seeing all the business and professional men. There was no house to house canvass, as most - of these were covered in the mills or on the Avenue. Steve Lipscomb, in charge of special memberships, handed in an excellent report. Coming on the heels of the Associated Charities drive, and as someone said, with a half dozen other requests having been made in the last two months of similar nature, those in charge of the Roll Call were more than pleased with the results and wish to thank every person who helped put over such a successful drive.

State engineers arrived in the city this week to make a survey of Roanoke Avenue, preparatory to its paving soon. With this work assured, and plans for the new municipal building and sidewalks, it would appear that the city is entering an era of great munici pal improvement. In addition to the beautification and convenience it will bring, it will provide jobs for many men. STORE ROBBERY __ » The most recent robbery out break in the city was Tuesday night, when thieves, who have not been apprehended yet, broke in a department store in the South business section.

Taylor, of Boykins, spent the week-end with relatives in Rose mary. On Display Saturday THE NEW FORD V-8 for 1934 An amazing automobile. New, yet time-tested, proved. The 1933 Ford V-8 was good—but this is better. Dual Carburetion and Clear Vision Ventilation lead list of refinements. This 1934 V-8 is the finest car we have ever offered our customers. BETTER PERFORMANCE. Greater power, new speed, quicker acceleration, smoother performance, more miles per gallon especially at high speeds, and quicker starting in cold weather—all these result from the new Dual Carburetor and Dual Intake Manifold. New Waterline Thermostats enable the engine to warm up more quickly and to maintain an efficient operating temperature. Added engine refinements reduce oil consumption, further improve operating economy and reduce maintenance costs. NEW VENTILATION SYSTEM permits clear vis ion, prevents drafts and provides desired amount of fresh air in any weather. Individual control for front and rear side windows. When ventilation is desired the window glass is raised to the top. Then the handle is given an additional half-turn. This slides the glass hack horizontally to form a narrow slot. Through this slot air is drawn out by the for ward motion of the car. This simple ventilation system maintains draft-free circulation, insures passenger comfort, prevents fogging windshield in cold or stormy weather. Both windshield and cowl ventilator can be opened to supply additional air needed for comfortable warm weather driving.

Interiors are attractive, with new tufted upholstery, new mouldings, new cove-type headlining, new instru ment panel, new arm rests, new hardware.
