J members in attendance, eum industry was adopted by The curtains were drawn on one of the greatest fairs ever staged In Wilkes Saturday night at midnight when the 1933 Great Wilkes Fair came to an end. Both from the standpoint of finances and entertainment, the fair, which was in progress five days, was considered a huge suc cess. It was estimated that between twenty-five and thirty thousand people visited the fairgrounds during the five days. Tuesday was the biggest day from the standpoint of attendance due to the fact that school children en joyed a holiday and were given free admission. Much credit for the success of the fair is due to the hard work of W. A. McNeill, president and business manager of the Great Wilkes Fair Association, and W. A. Rousseau, secretary. The. free acts were exception ally good and the midway shows attracted many customers. The exhibits were outstanding and many people took advantage of the opportunity to see the ex cellent products of the farms of Wilkes and adjoining counties. The public wedding staged on Wednesday night and the auto mobile race Saturday afternoon were outstanding features of the fair program. The various free acts were an nounced over the amplifying system installed by Mr. “Red” Kenerly and the D. & M. Elec tric company. The broadcasts were sponsored by a number of local business firms. In every respect, the public ac claimed the fair this year one of the best, if not the best, ever held locally. Washington State Has 18-Inch Snow Fredrick J. Perry, ef England, takes the U. S. National Tennis cup across the sea, the first time in thirty years that an English man has won our singles cham pionship.

Gulf Service Station dealers In the territory of Distributor C. D. Coffey, Jr. at a meeting held at the warehouse of C, D. Coffey & Sons. Distributor Coffey presided at the meeting and explained in de tail the new code (or the Indus try. Mr. Coffey told the dealers that to shorten the hours of their employees and then cu down on the number of hours they kept their stations open •would be defeating the very pur pose of the NRA program. The idea is, he said, to continue to give the public the same high class Gulf service during the usual number of hours while working the employees only 48 hours per week. The dealers were very enthus- iBtlc abont the new code and pledged their fullest co-operation. Mr. Coffey in further support of the code.has emplojred addi tional help and several Gulf serv ice stations have taken on addi tional help.

A surveying party, headed' by G. A. McKinley, one of the state highway department’s leading lo cating engineers, is now engaged in making a survey of possible routes. They arrived last week and have been Instructed to pro ceed as rapidly as possible. J. Gordon Hackett, prominent local* citizen who has long been interested in obtaining a better road from this city to Jefferson, accompanied T. Qettys Browning, chief of the construction dirlslon of' the highway department, on a drive over two of the prospective routes Saturday. Mr. Hackett re ceived the impression that prac tically all doubt has been remov ed and that construction of the highway will begin as soon as- a survey Is completed. Mr. Browning, it Is recalled, was largely responsible for the magnificent highway between North Wilkesboro and Boone and it was at his insistence that a .straight route was taken in pref erence to a less expensive, hut less straight route. Mr. Browning left the impres sion that the state highway com mission intends to build one of the finest roads crossing the Blue Ridge at any point in the htate.
