T. Whitt, Sales Agent at Rox boro, announced today that Stand ard Oil Company of New Jersey had purchased Victory Bonds in the amount of $500,000.00 in North Car olina in connection with the Victory Bond drive. In line with the Com l>any’s polity of allocating this pur chase among the 100 counties of -North Carolina in proportion to each county's quota, Person County has been allocated $2,000.00. J. W. NOELL, EDITOR Hudgins, who points out that il'is was the original war-time State limit, although the State limit on \ regular highways outside of re stricted zones is now fifty miles per hour. Hudgins today called at - ; tention to the fact that another i speed-limit zone is in the Provi dence road section leading to the ! Virgilina highway, j Official reading of the Highway •| Commission limit imposed ihroag.i Longhurst and Cavel is as follows: I “A thirty mile per hour limit is on US 501, beginning at the north ern city limits of Roxboro and end ing at the junction of the Wpods dale road with US 501. It embraces ’ the villages of Longhurst and Cavel. heavily populated mill set*'eiuent just north of Roxboro." The law, presumably, is in cflcct from date of passage, which oc curred last month. The State High way commission is authorized by the General Assembly to make such reg ulations as to speed zones in the State. Full Cooperation Os Public Requested By Postmaster Here.

"If we are to fulfill our goal ot more than 7,000,000 discharges in tile period between V-E day and July 1, 1946, selective service induc tions must continue,” Patterson as serted in a statement prepared for the annual edition of the Army and Navy Journal, unofficial service pub lication. , “Otherwise," he added, "men who have already risked their lives in combat will have to remain in the army while those who have not serv ed at all are exempted from any military duty." It is of paramount importance to this country and the whole world, he said, to maintain an effective military strength in the postwar years. ©he Couritr=©(mes Loose Mule Destroys Dignity Somebody's loose mule on Tues day afternoon in the midst of the heavy rain that was then ‘ail ing caused Roxboro police officers a lot of trouble.
