Dances were given each night and the appearances of Miss America each night were great iy er.jo.ved by the throngs. The visit of Miss America was particularly timely, as he-' visit hire attracted nation wine attention and the town and county was written up with big headlines in papers jftvith national circulation, such ; thf New York Times, Chi cago American and Atlantic ( :ty Journal. Miss America le.'t the Beauty Pageant in its midst to come here and keep a pr.mise, and she impressed t'.e people here very lavorauly as a most lovely girl, more than worthy of the high hon i rs the nation is bestowing up (:i her.

C., Wednesday, Sept. 14, 1927 TWO WRECKS ON i NEW PAVED ROAD ' No One Hurt But Cars Are 1 ! Damaged—Lack of "Should-! i ers" Ti> Road Is Blamed. Two automobile wrecks have, ■ occurred the past few days on the new pavement between ( Danbury and Walnut Cove. On i Thursday night a new Oldsmo- i . bile sedan, driven by Winston- j Salem citizens, collided with i Henry Shelton's Buiek near j ' the county home. Both cars j were damaged considerably but . no one was hurt. On Friday , • night a Chrysler sedan, driven by Mr. Wilkinson, of Winston- , ( Salem, and a Ford driven by ; , Rov Martin, of Lawsonville, , . collided just south of Danbury. . Both cars were damaged but , .occupants escaped unhurt. ' t That section of the new pav- I ed road between Danbury and Meadows has not had "should -1 ers" or dirt put on either side . of it yet and this fact is re , sponsible for the wrecks, it is staled, as the 16-foot pavement is rather narrow when cars are . confined strictly to the cement. However, shoulders are l>eing put t.) the sides of the road as rapidly as possible. ' t If the highway commission . will have the center of the' 4 pavement marked with the . black line as early as possible . it wiil nodoubt help to avoid . possible collisions.
