Local Stores Have Defense Saving Stamp “Retailers for Defense” week is being observed here this week by retailers placing Defense Savings Stamps on sale in their stores, and the Stamps may now be purchased at a number of local business houses. Dates of September 15 to Sep tember 20, inclusive, were set a side at “Retailers for Defense” week, and the local Merchants Association is promoting the sale of Defense Savings Stamps in Roa noke Rapids. Michigan was selected in July as the test state for the sale of Defense Savings Stamps in retail stores, and the results were so out standing that at present in that state over 22,500 retailers are par ticipating. Defense Savings Stamps may be purchased here at the following stores, members of the Merchants Association: Quality Shop, Leg gett’s, Pender’s, A & P, Taylor’s Drug, Halifax Farmers Supply Co. Rosemary Drug Store, and others which have not notified the Mer chants Association office they will sell them. New Deadline Merit System Examinations It was announced today by Dr. Frank T. de Vyver, Merit System Supervisor, that a new dead-line has been set for the receipt of ap plications for the forthcoming cleri cal examinations. The new ruling states that all applicants must be postmarked before midnight of September 22, instead of Septem ber 15. It has been necessary to extend the time limit because of an insufficient number of applicants for the clerical positions. Atten tion is called to the fact that here after all vacancies in county wel fare and health offices will be filled from registers made up of those persons passing the examinations. It is important that a sufficient number of persons apply in each county, since a shortage of eligible county applicants will necessitate appointing persons from state-wide registers rather than from local registers. Campaign To Promote Gas, Car Saving A two-fold effort to lengthen the lives of modern automobiles and to aid the current gasoline conserva tion campaign began Septembei 10 when the Esso Marketers broke advertising in a large list of news papers, according to J.

It i also a significant effort to con vince the motoring public of thi urgent nesd for conserving gaso line. The current Esso Marketers’ ad vertising campaign is using news papers to promote the distributioi through their dealers of a free 38-page booklet on “How to Leng then the Life of Your Car am Save Gasoline”. The newspape campaign will continue for an in definite period. Team Is Guests (Continued from Page One players could only smile their ap preciation.
