Letter From National Chairman Of President's Ball , i T?:t Walurot-Astoria, New York City February 26, 1934. Mr. C. \V. Bailey. Editor, v The Cherokee Scout, '< Murphy, N. C. 1 Bear Air. Bailey: 1 Now that the Birthday Ball for the President has come to a successful j o nclusion, I feel that I would be re- { '.iss in closing this activity unless 1 \ U ok opportunity to express to you < the appreciation of the National Com- j mittee for all that you and your as- ; ociates have done in making this sue- I t ess possible. < Of course, no social event is a rial success without the cooperation of the press, but in this particular case t.ie newspapers of the country play ed a much greater role than the in- 1 v oluable one of acquainting all of < vut the countrv were organized in t iheir readers with the event. ( Over 3600 local committee through oat the country were organized in s practically five weeks. Mr. Carl I'yoir, the General Director of the s National Committee, tells me that 1 'his record of organization would < have been absolutely impossible ex- 1 cept for the fact that the local chair- ? men, almost without exception, were c nominated by the local newspapers publishers. Thus we were able 1 to enlist, almost instantly, chairmen v who had the support and confidence t of their community. I think the most heartening fact developed by this campaign was that, without a single exception, the newspepars of this country, both daily < and weekly, joined in organizing and S supporting this great humane work. 1 This is probafcy the first time in the 1 history of our country that a nation- c wide organization has bqen effected c through the medium of the press although, of course, the newspapers of a the country have frequently given un- 1 stintingly of their space to many I charitable causes. As soon us returns from local committees are completed and have been audited by a firm of nationally known oertified public 'accountants, full do- v tailed information will be furnished 1 the pubKc through the press so that t ail may know the extent of the success b of the Birthday Ball. e It has been a real inspiration to t me to have been associated with you m this work and I just want you to t know that I feel aery deeply that you J can always have a just pride in hav- t ^6 played so important a part in the 1 fight against infantile paralysis. Sincerely yours, b HENRY L. DOHERTY, F National Chairman ti 2 Rev. R. W. Prevost, Frank For- o syth and Mrs. .W.*T. Forsyth were visitors in Murphy on Tuesday of this S week.

(C?tiand mm peg a I) $1.00 YEAR?5c COPY Trade-In Value Of Cars Is Standardized By Code Washington?When you go shopping for a new automobile, don't expect to put one over on your dealer by getting a big price for your used car. The_new NRA dealers' code does $way with that sort of bargaining. At the ^me time, nowever the code protects you irom the tricks some unscrupulous dealers used to practice, to offset the disastrous competition in their business and the chiseling ot some customers. Now, when you take your car to a dealer lor appraisal, all he need do is lift the hood and look at the engine and serial number. Then he opens a fat book contain ing some 3,000,000 tabulations, loiki j though the group of serial numbers i that includes your car ard quotes a price without batting an eyelash. That's all there's to it?take it or leave it. Bargaining with him for a higner figure won't do you a bit of i good, because any other dealer to I whom you take your car will do ex actly the same thing. ilnat mysterious book of facts t-Hls ' the dealers of the United States the highest prices which they may quote for cars of nearly 10,000 classifications. They may go lower but nevti above, these figures. If they do go J a'bove the maximum, and they're discovered, a serious tine and perhaps ? loss of the Blue Eagle will be their J penalty. The car may be as good as new, \ but the age of tire used car is what ?-uuma i iiiiicm; u And don't think you cagn get away , with any subterfuge in this allow ance business. In Michigan, recently, three dealers offeree a prospective ? customer the same allowance for his ? car?mind, they could have varied j their quotations by going oelow the i maximum price >cted in the 0f'?de book, although most dealers orfer the r maximum and let it go at that. Of the three dealers, however, one ? offered to thiow in a free polishing ' and waxing job, for which Jie should ' have charged $4. Discovered, the L dealer had to give up a substantial part of his profit and promise to live up to the code hereafter. Can Ga Farther Afield I On the othei hand, you still might succeed in g^inng a new car at a ! lower price t%han that quoted in your , district, by the simple means of buying it in another district, where the delivered price of the car is less. All dealers in each district are I bound by the code to sell their new cars at a definite delivered price, but there's a slight variation in such prices as between districts. Of course, you'd have to suffer the 5 inconvenience of traveling back to the original dealer for servicing during the car's guarantee period. ? When it comes to buying a used car, you will have the protection of , getting exactly what is represented j in the advertising or in the salesman's talk. "Doctoring" Is Barred Mn Inncror can thp (Ifalpr cpt hur-W the speedometer and charge you i more than the car is worth on the basis of its "low mileage." No longer may he "doctor" the engine with r heavy oil to make it run silently or more smoothly. Discovery of such practices will cost 1 a d'jaler hig license to operate under NRA. Neither can he sell you a "demonstrator" at a reduced price, unless that car has been operated for at least sixty days, or been driven at least 3,500 miles. Until then its price is the same as any new car on the floor. Finally you'll have trouble trying to buy a new car as part of a "fleet," U> save the discount. There still is some discussion among dealers on this T>oint, but tentatively the code makes it illegal to allow fleet discounts on automobiles or on trucks of less than three-fourths ton capacity.
