A Worth While
Christmas Present
! Of course, every one is going to
be sensible and cut down on the
' cost of Christmas presents this
! year; some from necessity, others
because it is good business judg
ment. You can be sane and sen
sible this Christmas by giving pres
ents which are of service, and yet
will be appreciated. What could
be more sensible, or useful, than to
give that good partner of yours, she
who has been primarily the cause of
so much happiness all during the
j year, a beautiful piece of furniture;
you know what she has been want
ing so long, and now you have the
opportunity to give her her heart's
desire for almost a song. If you
doubt this, just read the advertise
! ment of T. W. Pass & Son, who
are advertising everything at from
j 25 to 50 per cent reduction.
Death Of Well Known

Walter, Jess, Floyd, Daniel and Er
vin Lunsford, all of Roxboro; three
brothers, Tom, John and Wallace
Lunsford, and one sister.
We Stand Corrected
Miss Norma Maynard, after visit
ing relatives here, has returned to
her home in Salisbury. Miss Mar
garet Hannah Critcher accompan
ied her to that place for a brief visit.
Miss Norma Maynard has been a
teacher in the Centred graded
school since September, 1930. - She
is a niece of Mrs. F. O. Carver and
of Mrs. A. W. Clayton, and makes
her home with the latter during the
school year. Miss Maynard 's par
ents live in Salisbury, and she went
to visit them during the Thanksgiv
ing holidays. We hope it will be a
long while before she is simply an
occasional visitor to Roxboro. ? O..

NEW CHEVROLET CAR
A THING OF BEAUTY
Hundreds Of Visitors Call At
Stewart Chevrolet Co.
To See It
MANY V ITAL CHANGES
Probably no more wide spread
advertising effort ha4 been shown
than that of the Chevrolet people
i in announcing the new Chevrolet
car which was put on exhibition for
the first time last Saturday. Hie
dealers here, the Stewart Chevrolet
Company, had the car on exhibi
tion- and all day Saturday throngs
were on hand' to take a look And
without exception It was pronounc
ed the most wonderful cai" ever
made by the Chevrolet manufac
turers.
The car is different in many ways,
too many for us to attempt to
describe, but a look will convince
that it is a wonderful car, espe
cially when price 1* considered.
When you see this new car you will
wonder why any one, regardless of
how much he may be worth, should
spend more money (or a car than
the price of this new car. It has
all of the commences of the
higher priced cars, will do any and
all things the higher priced cars
? do, and while doing it will save
many gallons of gas.
WARNS HITLER OF
MARTIAL RULE TO
E
Chancellor Bruening Makes
Sharp Reply T<r Challenge
Of Fascist Leader
DRASTIC NEW DECREE
AS ECONOMIC MEASURE
Berlin, Dec. 8. ? Chancellor Hein
rich Bruening answered the chal
lenge of Adolf Hitler and his Fas
cists tonight by warning the na
tion in a radio address that Presi
dent Paul- Von Hindenburg willj
invoke marital law, if necessary, to
save the constitution.
"There is no other authority in,
this county save that prescribed by
the constitution," the chancellor
said.
He went to the country over the
air after a new and^ drastic emer
gency decree. Slashing prices, wages
and rents, had been signed and
made into law by President Von
Hindenburg.
The decree, a 46-page document,
the longest ever issued by the gov- '
ernment, was designed to provide
the final wind-up for what Dr.
Bruening called the "deflation per
iod imposed upon Germany."
The radical character of the
measure was indicated by its re
duction'. of wage scales to the level
of January 1, 192*7.
Here is what Germany's new
emergency decree does:
Cuts house rents and prices of
standardized articles, coal and pot
ash 10 per cent, x ? j
Establishes a price commissioner.
Reduces wages to the Jan. 1, 1927,
level.
Cuts salaries in the Reich, states
and Communes -A per cent and
wages 10 per oent.
Lowers the interest rate on loans,
bonds and mortgages, public and
private, to 6 per oent where it was
as high as 8 per cent, and cuts it
25 per cent to 50 per cent where it
was higher.
Lowers the Lombard rate (inter
est on security loans) to 9 per cent
from 10 per cent.
Cuts physicians' fees and pro
vides easier terms for sick insurance.
Proteots landowners against
forced auction sales by providing
that no bid under 70 per cent of
the property's value need be ac- !
cepted.
Provides for issuance of new four
pfennig coins (worth one cent).
Reduces some taxes, but increase
turnover tax to 2 per cent.
Imposes compensatory taxes on
imports.
Strengthens measures against flight
strengthens measures against flight
of capital by providing for various
degrees of confiscation.

CHRISTMAS SEAL SALE
GETS UNDERWAY HERE
Woman's Club Conducting
Annual Sale Of Little Seals
This Week IS 1
PROCEEDS WILL HELP
FIGHT TUBERCULOSIS
One of the most ambitious pro
grams conducted for the sale of
Christmas Seals was outlined yes
terday at a meeting of the Woman's
Club by Mrs. B. B. Mangum, who
is in charge of this work. She dis
tributed seals among the members
and asked for their hearty eo-apera
tion and support. Not only the lo
cal schools are actively engaged in
selling these seals, but the various
sections of ' that county are being
reached through school children.
Miss McCollum, the County Nurse,
gave a most timely and forceful !
talk on Tuberculosis. She called
attention to the fact that out of
every dollar's worth of seals that
were sold, twenty-five cents went
to the national organization and
seventy-five cents remained in the
County to aid in the fight against
tuberculosis. The census of 1930
shows that there were 2,187 cases W
this disease in North Carolina, and
in Person County alone there were
17 deaths. In view of these figures,
it seems that everyone could con
tribute something, no matter how
large or small, to help combat this
dreaded "white plague."

Living At Home
Two of our good friends were in
last week and gave the weights of
hogs recently killed. Or. Weldon
O. Clayton killed three which
weighed, 460, 464 and 466, making a
total of 1390 pounds.
On the same day Mr. Clifton
Bowes reported that he kilfed two
weighing 314 and 346; these pigs
were born in March and Mr. Bowes
must have given them extra good at- ,
tention to bring them to this size;
he also reported that his father, Mr.
M. P. Bowes, killed one which
weighed 393 lbs. With plenty of
hog and hominy these people are in
fine way to pull through the de
pression.

LARGE TOBACCO SALES
HERE AGAIN MONDAY
Garner Easily Wins Post Of
Speaker By Solid Party
Ballot
IS FIRST DEMOCRAT
SPEAKER IN 12 YEARS
Washington, Dec. 7.? The nation's
new Congress convened today in
calm, quiet manner that belied un
der -surf ace tension and the strife
filled issues awaiting consideration.
The house went into the hands
of the Democrats. Joyful "rebel"
yells greeted the smiling veteran of
the party, Garner, of Texas, as he
ascended the speaker's rostrum, last
held by a Democrat 12 years ago.
Republicans clung to their finger
hold in the senate. It went through
the brief routine of swearing In new
members in a formal 35-minute ses
sion. Its! organization problem will
be settled tomorrow. A dispute is
impending on the re-election of
George Mioses, of New Hampshire,
as president pro tem.
Business Recovery Keynote.
To this divided and ,qg)lticfcll$
hostile Congress President Hoover
tomorrow will submit his legisla
tive recommendations and a report
on the state of the Union.
The dominant economic problems
facing this 72nd Congress met with
an unemployment demonstration on
the Capitol plaza. Representatives
of the organized marchers were
halted by police at the doors of the
senate chamber.
With tomorrow's reading of the
presidential .message, the Congress
will plunge immediately into its
task of devising a way to speed
American prosperity. That is the
keynote.
Assuming congressional author
ity for the first time in a dozen
years, Democratic leaders are mov
ing cautionsly but unitedly. There
will be no coalition. There will be
politics, for it is the dawn of a
presidential years. But on the vital
steps for national recovery there Is
promise of prompt, non-partisan ac
tion. V*"]
