Battery Shortage
Hits Carolinians
North Carolina motorists who
hope to keep their cars rolling
this Winter were warned by bat
tery dealers today to take good
care of their batteries, because
new or rental replacements vir
tually are unobtainable.
Dealers In larger cities
threughout the state and distri
butors at Columbia reported in
coming supplies, reduced to 10
per cent of normal for montiis,
now almost were nonexistent.
When the National Tuberculos
is Association was organized In
1904, tuberculosis was the lead
ing cause of death in this coun
try. Today it is the seventh
cause, but kills approximately
55,000 persons a year.
Please Santa bring me a little
hammer, a little red farm trac
tor, a little car and lots of nuts,
candy, oranges and apples, and
don't forget the other little boys
and girls.
Your little friend,
I BOBBY DEAN BROWN.

brick, wood and concrete spill
ing onto the red brick tenement.
