Woman's Club
Meeting Held
At Calvary
An interesting meeting of the
Women’s Home Demonstration
Club was held at Calvary School
Building on Wednesday p.m., Oct.
27. The August meeting was given
over to a community picnic with
brunswick stew and supper; the
September meeting to a Flower
Show and Canning Contest and
business matters had accumulated
making this session longer than u
sual.
Mrs. Wheeler gave a very instruc
tive lecture - demonstration on
Household Linen—especially table
linens and towels. She told her
members that an all white cloth of
linen or lace is the correct cover
for any formal meal. Also that
mats are in good taste, either cro
cheted, knit or made of woven ma
terials.
For the introduction of a bit of
color, for interest and beauty, she
advised colored linens for the
breakfast table, choosing colors
which harmonize with the color
scheme of the room and the china
used.
Mrs. Wheeler reminded her group
that these selections need not be
costly to be in good taste, as linens
can be bought at the damask mills
in Roanoke Rapids for a very rea
sonable price, thus affording the
women with a slender purse, the
opportunity to put beauty and at
tractiveness in her table service.
Those members present were:
Mesdames Nat Hockaday, Hugh
Hockaday, R. W. Hamill, E. S.
Jenkins, J. C. Myrick, W. T. Mitch
ell, W. C. Myrick, Mattie Hardy, H.
G. Myrick, F. R. King, H. T. King,
John Moore, N. M. Johnson and
Misses Edith Fulghum and Helen
Mitchell.
Mrs. E. S. Jenkins, Secretary.

Local Chevrolet
Dealer Reports
Many New Orders
In a statement made yesterday,
Bill Edwards, manager of Tri-Cty
Motor Company, reported heavy
buying of the new 1938 Chevrolet,
first showing of which was made
about a week ago.
“There are several reasons for
the unusual record of sales of the
new Chevrolet,” remarked Mr. Ed
wards. “In the first place, the large
new Chevrolet” remarked Mr. New- ]
som. “In the first place, the large I
number of orders we have received
reflect buyer preference for the
beautiful styling of the new cars
and appearance goes a long way
toward influencing the buyer.
“People are also economy- mind
ea toaay wnen it comes to gas and
oil expense, and the Chevrolet rep
utation in this respect is a big fac
tor. A number of refinements have
been made this year that contribute
both to performance and economy,
and car buyers insist on both of
these qualities. Interiors of the
new cars are beautifully and luxu
riously finished and this has an ex
tra strong appeal among women.
“There is one more reason why
sales are so heavy,” stated Mr.
Edwards. “Early fall new car in
Newsom. “Early fall new car in
troductions are encouraging more
and more people to buy a new car
at this season of the year. So they
can enjoy the extra winter driving
safety and security of a new car.”
Tri-City Motor Company is rec
ommending early placing of orders
for the new cars, even to those
who do not plan taking immediate
delivery. As Mr. Edwards pointed
out, demand for the new Chev o
lets is so heavy that the surest r*.
to avoid disappointment Is for the
buyer to select the car now and
give the approximate day when he
will want delivery.
