Contest

way through for contestants, and
an anxious one to be sure, but now?
that the end has been reached and
winners of prises named, all partici
pant* are p)ea*ed and satisfied.
Naturally the. greatest, struggle
was for the new Dodge automobile,
grand capital prize, and for the se
cond and third major awards of
JJSO6 and S6OO respectively, but
those cash bonus awards came -n
for their share of keen competition
among potential whiners as fourth,
fifth, sixth and seventh places.
The Dally Record offered un
usually valuable and attractive
prises. The Record was willing to
pay liberally for good work on tho
part of local participants ■ - and
we got.lt' as never before in
this particular area has there been
such a successful subscription drive
as the ope Just concluded for this
newspaper.
Th aggregate vote totals reached
enormous figures representing
hundreds upon hundreds of new and
renewal subscriptions anti as
a result of this intensive drive the
Daily Record now goes Into more
hpmee in this area than at any
time ip. its history. It has reached
the largest circulation ever attained
by a newspaper to Harnett County.
On behalf of the various con
testants, and the publishers of this
newspaper, the reading public is
entitled to the most emphatic
thanks for the uniform good will
shown them during the drive.
But as to the Winners, the figures
speak for themselves. To those
whose tireless energy carried them
through to success. The C-ily
Hecord extends heartiest congrat
ulations.
We are proud of the fin- group
of participants who . took part in
this contest; and, in turn, we feel
pure that they are piroud of the
costly prizes won.
While the prizes won were yp
markable for their value, there
are other considerations to he taken
into accounts. During this drive,
in which a high degree of sales
manship was demonstrated, these
participants learned much that will
lie of lasting benefit to them.
It is inevitable to any compe
tition,. of eourse, that all could not
■win first prize That was ah under
stood fact as the beginning of the
race. But everyone did win some
thing commensurate with time and
effort expended-
The ballot box remained in
the Commercial Bank in Dunn dur- !
lng the entire final week of the
contest. At, 11 am- this morning
■the race was declared closed, a (id
pll that remained to be done was
for the contest judges to make
final count and determine tne win
ners.
Awards were made about noon
to the various contestants accor
ding to the final standing us shown
in the box on- front pace of th*

TWO DIE IN S. C.
Death by freezing came to Mary
Walker,. 30-year-old Negro of Rock
Hill, 8. C., and James Gosnell, 51,
of Inman, B. C., Thursday night
as the temperature fell 18 degrees
below freezing in that state.
Five children perished in fires be
lieved caused by overheated stoves
in Mississippi, Louisiana and North
Carolina, and in Montgomery, Ala.,
low temperature caused the cable
of a power Shovel to snap, killing
a construction worker.
Although the temperature fell 10
degrees below freezing in parts of
Florida, agricultural officials be
lieved most tender truck crops had
escaped serious damage.
The constant threat of a killing
frost, which could form with de
vastating effect at any time, boos
ted the prices of some crops well
above the seasonal average.

A quick call to Dr. JSJlen Win
ston, state superintendent of pub
lic welfare, revealed that the Boston
organization lias no permission to
solicit funds in North Carolina. It
Is not on the list of charitable or
ganizations approved for. soliciting
funds ip this State.
“I don’t imagine this couple will
go on any more rescue missions in
North Carolina” commented Ross.
Activity of solicitors of this type
makes it hard-tor reputable organi
zations to get t{ie help they de
