C\J I < O II cV o Si - by Bill Riggans Roanoke Mills No. 2 has only two softball clubs this year with about fifteen members on each club. One of the clubs is captained by Rob ert Rogers and C. Brown and the other piloted by Ruben Daniels and Nathan “Chubby” Taylor; while all teams at No. 2 are managed by our old friend, J. O. Brown. J. O. and the captains of the club are really making the boys hustle for a posi tion this year, and by the middle of the season every position on both clubs should have a star in his own rights.

You’ll Also Fine! — A FAMILIAR SIGN TO SOFT DRINK DRINKERS EVERYWHERE It is most remarkable, this “SWITCH TO DR.PEPPER” attitude that has come about the last few years . . . yet it’s apparent on every hand ... Notice it the next time you attend a big baseball game, or large gathering of any kind . . . There’s a marked PREFERENCE for DR.PEPPER ... AND—Dr.Pep per drinkers consistently “stick to it!” There IS a reason . . . and until you have actually tasted a frosty cold DR.PEPPER on a hot day, you cannot realize how quickly it seems to ENERGIZE your entire system. See “Suicide” Hayes next Sunday afternoon, and while there, say “DR.PEPPER” to your ven dor, “the CHOICE of the Grandstand!” Dr. Pepper Bottling Co. OF ROANOKE RAPIDS, INC.
