The radio an nouncer said one of the bread truck drivers was in a certain city the other day and saw a little girl and her dog trying to cross a busy business street. For several minutes, she tried to get across but traffic was too thick and her little dog was hard to handle. Finally, when she was about to give up in despair and break into tears, a police officer saw her trouble. He stopped the traffic, took the little girl’s hand and piloted her and her dog across the Avenue.. yes, it was Roanoke Avenue in Roa noke Rapids, N. C., said the radio announcer, and the name of the policeman was A. J. Brigman. • • Equipment continues to roll in for William JAX WIN FIRST TWO GAMES Some of the High School football squad snapped at practise this week.

Merchants, storekeepers, business men, clerks, salesmen and sales ladies of Roanoke Rapids, all those who sell anything, whether goods or service are invited to attend a meeting next Wednesday night at the Municipal Building when Roa noke Rapids begins the National Salesmen Crusade, with the slo gan, “Sales Mean Jobs”. The Crusade is being sponsored by the Roanoke Rapids Merchants Association but participation is o pen to non-members as well. It is hoped that every concern in the city will co-operate during the bal ance of the month of October. Principal speaker next Wednes day night will be A. H. Hermann of Richmond, Va., of the public relations department of the Vir ginia Electric & Power Co. The meeting will start at 7:30 p.m. Participating firms will have caps for salesmen, lapel buttons, window cards and pennants, which will be delivered to them after the meeting Wednesday night for use during the balance of the month. This material is now in the office of the Roanoke Rapids Merchants Association. With the idea that every sales means a job for somebody and usually plenty of jobs all up and down the line, the public will be approached from this angle as well as the fact that participating firms will have new Fall stocks and at tractive prices during the period of the Salesmen Crusade. Final plans were made at a meet ing of the directors of the Mer chants Association yesterday aft ernoon called by President F. D. Wilson. The board gave C. C. Shell, who will represent the As sociation at a State directors meet ing, authority to use his judgment and go as far as possible in getting relief for retailers and the public from the general sales tax. POSTAL RECEIPTS Postal receipts for the quarter of the year ending on September 30, rose to a degree of 23 percent over the same period of 1931, ac cording to Postmaster L. G. Shell.

The postmaster further stated that- the receipts for the September quarter set a record which has not been equaled during a similar period since the estab lishment of the Roanoke Ranldn Post Office.
