Locke Funeral services were held at the grave in Beaver Hill Cemetery Fri day afternoon for Mrs. B. Yv. Locke. Mrs. Locke, a former resident of Edenton, was 67 years of age, and had been living with her daughter, Mrs. W. A. Smith, at Spartanburg, South Carolina, at whose home she died. She had been in ill health as the result of cancer of the stomach, but was confined to her bed only about four weeks. The deceased was the widow of B. W. Locke, for many years super intendent of the Edenton Electric and Water Department, who died Decem ber 13, 1930. The body was brought to Edenton on the Norfolk Southern train and was conveyed to the ceme tery, where the service was in charge of Rev. E. L. Wells, pastor of the Edenton Baptist Church. A number of her favorite hymns were sung by a male quartet consisting of W. Jim Daniels, George Lassiter, W. J. Ber ryman and Chas. H. Wood. Mrs. Locke is survived by two sons, J. D. Locke, of Pell City, Ala bama, and Charles Locke, of Spar tanburg, and one daughter, Mrs. W. A. Smith, of Spartanburg. Pallbearers were W. J. Daniels, G. E. Cullipher, Dr. M. P. Whichard, Antone Davenport, Paul Oisson and J. Edwin Bufflap. Pontiac Boasts Much Improved Automobile Chas. Jenkins Motor Company have now on display the new 1937 Pontiac cars and issue a special in vitation to the general public to see and drive one of the new cars. Pontiac for 1937 has two lines of cars, a de luxe six and de luxe eight. The new models are longer in wheel base, roomier and lower. They have been redesigned with improved rid ing. Larger and more powerful en gines give faster acceleration, high er top speed and more economy. Master six models in the 1935 and 1936 lines have been discontinued, and economies of engineering and manufacturing can be concentrated on a single line of sixes and eights of equal quality, the company states. With the widening market of the last two years and the evident will ingness of greater numbers of motor ists to pay just a little more money for a lot more value, Pontiac should gain both sales and prestige by this astute move. Both lines will offer seven body styles: business coupe, sport coupe, cabriolet, 'two-door sedan, two-door touring sedan, four-door sedan and four-door touring sedan, although the straight sedans in both two-door and four-door eights will be built on or der only. The 14 bodies will be available in seven colors: black, blue, brown, gray, green, maroon and cream. A choice of light tan mohair or mixed wool upholstering is provided, except for convertible coupes which are trimmed either in buffed, crush grain, tan Spanish leather or taupe colored wosted Bedford cloth. The most identifying Pontiac marks of the last two years, the silver streak radiator and hood grilles, are being retained with some modifica tions. Radiator and top hood grille extending from bumper to cowl is narrower for 1937, consisting of a wide center bar separating six nar rower bars. Visibility has been improved by making the windshield two inches wider and higher and increasing its angle of slant from 31 to 39 degrees. Although most of the basic char acteristics of Pontiac engineering have been retained, the chassis has been redesigned where necessary to meet the trend toward longer and lower cars. ] JOPPA V J Mr. and Mrs. Ray Hobbs and chil dren spent Saturday in Hertford.
