which to send his son to America,

His story of his experiences in
the old country and in America
caught the interests of the club
members.

F. C. Williams
Announces The
Tear's Winners
Announcement is made this
; week of the winners in the annual
Garden Contest sponsored by P.
C. Williams, Vice-President and
General Manager of Roanoke and
Patterson Mills Companies, and
recipients of the various awards
totaling more than $400 will be
made within the next few days.
As usual interest ran high in
the annual contests in the three
mill villages this year as resi
dents of the villages exerted them
selves to improve the general ap
pearance of their yards, flower
and vegetable gardens. Judges re
ported a decided improvement in
j the number and sizes of the
} gardens, due to interest having
■' been stimulated in the Victory
Garden program earlier in the
Spring
Awarding of cash prizes for
winners in the flower and veg
etable garden contests and in the
general improvement of yards and
premises was started here more
than six years ago by Mr. Wil
liams and has since drawn a rec
ord number of entries each year.
More people participated in
the vegetable garden phase of
the contest this year than ever
before, Mr. Williams reported.
A total of $405 in cash awards
is being distributed among 63 em
ployees of the mills by Mr. Wil
liams. The same amount of mon
ey was awarded last year, and
was distributed among the same
number of employees. This year
the award schedule was revised so
as to constitute 63 prizes, divided
as follows: a first prize of $15.00;
second $10.00, third prize $6.00;
fourth prize, $5.00, fifth prize
$4.00, sixth prize $3.00, and sev
enth prize $2.00, in each of three
classifications, for flowers, gen
eral appearance and vegetable
gardens. This same schedule of
awards were made in each of the
three mill villages, Roanoke No. 1,
