He must get along’ with voters, the city commissioners and the politicians. He must uphold the law and deal justice impartially. He must coordinate all the departments of the city with harmony and for effective action. He must be constructive but economical. He must know: how to cure the roots of the trees from growing into sewer lines; how to keep the streets shining clean right after a sloppy rain; how to pay the hospital bill for someone who is short of change; how to keep str eets level so John Q. Public will not threat en suit every time he drives too fast over a rough l’oad and breaks his already weakened rear spring, He must smile, too, when he is tired. Yes, kiss the babies if he wants to insure re-elec tion. Its a great jobl But with all its hours of worry and days of criticism, it is an honor able position. It is truly our city’s highest award of confidence. It is a position where much can be accomplished and one upon which which much of Roanoke Rapids’ future depends. This is the office to which W. Bernard .Allsbrook has been appointed. With his previous experience as mayor and proximity to city affairs as former city attorney, he is adequately informed to carry on a constructive program. We wish him success! . . . but also his share of peace of mind and happiness! Our Police Chief Stavsll_ The ‘Bouquet of the Week" I goes to Chief Davis! His decision to remain among friends and among those who know him best and admire him most, meets with the approval of the vast majority of our citizens regardless of political affiliations It was a great day for this city when Chief Davis came here and a more fortunate one when ho decided to stay, for he is an intense student of law en forcement and an effective leader. He has surrounded himself with men who represent one of ‘.he finest police forces in anv man's town. They are loyal t > their chief and he in turn gives them his loyalty. The chief has done a good job for our city. The tomorrow looks brighter because he is still our chief.

Editorials— STRANGE ODDITY OF THE CYC LE OF OUR CITY’S MAYORS The last three persons to become mayors of this city had all had previous experience in the highest office. The cycle of this rare oddity actually be gan when the late J. T. Chase first assumed the office, May 6, 1913, and has jelled a period of over 37 years. And the cycle is not yet com plete! When Kelly Jenkins took office in 1941, he was returned to the position he had previ ously held. When the late J. T. Chase became mayor in June of this year, he, too was being returned to a chair he had previously occu pied. Now, W. Bernard Allsbrook is appointed mayor, and he, like his two predecessors re assumed a position he had formerly held. Few if any cities have had a like experi ence. Page Robert Ripley! It’s a ’'Believe it or not” oddity! The Mayor’s Job Being mayor is not all it is “cracked up to be.” It is no easy job. It is thankless! Citizens are difficult to satisfy; they are quick to criticize and slow to give help. Vari ous individuals and groups have their own ideas as to what a chief executive should do. Their ideas may conflict with the ideas of others; they may conflict with plans of the city, with budgets and with sound judgment. But still many think, “anything can be done and especially what we want done.” To a great extent a mayor must be a JtmtirV uni rrrinfl Halifax Farmers Supply Company I Men s swearers Zipper Fronts R Now 4.00 Sport Shirts For Men 100 Left it Now 2.00 Wool Shirts All Red 1 N°w 3.98 p 1 Robe now 2.50 I 1 Jacket 5.00 | 2 Raincoats 10.00 Men’s Cotton Coat Sweaters I Now 2.00 |f Nylon Tuff Sg Tooth Brushes I Now 19c H Boys' Raincoats I Caps 69 c J Coats 3.90 •• A • - neavy ananer Sweaters 3 Only 5.00 each Raincoats For Men Now 5.00 Men’s Wool Overcoats Now 20.00 Men’s All Wool Suits Now 25.00 Boys’ Tweedaroy Knickers Only 4.95 Men’s Broadcloth Shorts Only 69c Girls’ Raincoats Yellow Caps 69c Coat 3.98 Men s Light Weight Jackets Now 3.98 All Leather Belts Reduced 1.00 Polo Shirts For Men Now 1.00 Cotton Robes For Boys Now 2.00 Boys’ Khaki Shirts Only 1.98 Boys’ Overall Pants Only 1.69 Men’s Big Mae Overalls 2.79 ; l Flannelette ’ PAJAMAS , Men’s Sizes j Warm and soft — and Sanforized1!
