Game Laws In
Person County
Will Be Enforced
Game Warden Davis Calls On
Citizens For Wholehearted
Support. Possible Deputies
Suggested At Meeting Held
Friday.
+ ___________
*? Mr. Noah Davis, recently appointed
game warden for Person County, in a
meeting at the Chamber of Commerce
Friday night with a group of hunters
and other interested citizens, request
ed that full cooperation be given him
in the duties that his office demanded.
The group went on record as heartily
approving his efforts in the preser
vation of game within the bounds of
this county and pledged support to
Mf: Davis in the undertaking.
In discussing ways and means of
putting across to the people of this
section the idea of game preserva
tion as a valuable asset to them it
was proposed that landlords and hunt
ers be appealed to in order that they
might come to a complete realization
of the full intent of the program.
Various names were suggested to
Mr. Davis as possible deputies who
might serve under him in their parti
cular neighborhood. The preserving
of game is not just a matter to be en
forced because the law requires that
hunters have licenses and observe cer
tain restrictions as to dates, number,
etc., but it is a vital program if game
is to be preserved for posterity that
they do stay within certain restric
tions, it was pointed out.
Mr. Davis agreed to take the job
for a limited time, but it is felt that
if he can get cooperation from all par
ties concerned that he will be able to
do much in creating a game preserva
tion consciousness among citizens of
B?seon County.
However, it was pointed out at the
meeting Friday night that should ap
peals and warnings fail in causing the
hunters to buy licenses and otherv.'se
disregard the restrictions that h$ve
been thrown around fowl and other
wild game, the game warden will be
compelled to take the only recourse
left to him, that, of course, being the
arresting and trial of the guilty par
ties caught in such violation of the
law.

Drive For Books
For Library Is
On This Month
Drive Will Begin On Tuesday,
November 19. Every Citizen
Urged To Make Contribution
By Mrs. F. M. Drake, Jr.
The campaign for books and funds
for the "Community Library" is now
in full swing. Everyone is asked for
a contribution, which we are sure
will be for your own benefit as well as
others.
To have a library at ones conven
ience, *3 surely a step toward intelli
gent participation in the activities of
modern life. The library is a place
where you may find friends that are
tried and true ? Book friends. Works
k of Dickens, Elliott, Milton, Emerson,
f Shakespeare ? who could desire bet
ter friends?
When you're downhearted, Tenny
fcon will sing to you ? when you're blue
Touchstone will cheer you up. When
you're in a speculative mood, along
contes Hamlet. You may find a friend
for every mood in which you find your
self. As in years past, aside from re
ligion itself, there is no greater solace
to the soul in all such hours of need
than silent friendship in the land of
books.
Since November is Book Month and
our drive is on for the Library, open
ing Tuesday, November 19th, we wish
that as a part of its celebration every
person in the county might pledge
themselves to make some contribution.
Share your books with others. Help
us to have a library so that everyone
' may have an inexpensive source of
real enjoyment and knowledge. Will
you do your part?

DAUGHTER ALSO INJURED
Mr. Giles M. Crowder, one of the out
standing farmers of this county, and
his daughter, Mrs. Tuttle Williams, are
confined to Watts hospital as the re
sult of an automobile collision at the
intersection of Club Boulevard and
Broad Street, Durham, Friday about
noon. Mr. Crowder suffered a frac
tured neck, while Mrs. Williams sus
tained several broken ribs and suffer
ed from severe shock. Latest reports
from the hospital are that Mrs. Wil
liams is getting along nicely, while Mr.
Crowder is not as hadly injured as
^thought at first and That his chances
for recovery are very much improved!
The accident occurred when, the
car operated by Mr. Crowder and an
other driven by Mrs. Margaret H. Jones
of University Station in Orange Coun
ty collided. Mrs. Jones was accom
panied by five other ladies, all of
whom are members of the staff at

that Mrs. Williams will be able to be
out in a few days, while her husband
is reported to be recovering nicely.
Both cars were reported to be badly
damaged.

Looks Like Another
Block On Roxboro
Mart This Morning
With Folks Who Came To Arm
istice Day And Tobacco
Trucks Town Is Full
Of People
Again for the third Monday it looks
this morning like there would be an
other block sale. Early this morning
trucks and wagons loaded with tobac
co, and automobiles filled with those
who came to take part in the Armistice
celebration, crowded every available
space for parking. The streets were
blocked with vehicles waiting to get
in the warehouse and unload for the
sales.
Last week saw the best we*k of the
season on this market, more pounds,
with prices decidedly favorable. It is
most encouraging to see so many of the
good farmers of this County selling
here, and it is noticeable that many
farmers from other sections are pat
ronizing the market. Every indica
tion is that this will be the best year
the Roxboro market has had in sev
eral years.
o
HERE IT IS
Our company has just announced
a wenderful health and ^ccident policy
to take care of women, children, and
men while in the hospital. It pays
over $100.00 while in the hospital for
$12.00 per year. We have been won
dering why some company did not put
out a policy that would take care of
anybody for sickness and accident while
in hospital. Now here it is. See
us today because you may see the |

Housewarming
A Happy Event
First Entertained The Rotary
Club And Then The Gen
eral Public
Thursday night Mr. and Mrs. O. B.
Mc Broom were hosts to the Roxboro
Rotary club and several special invited
guests, serving a turkey dinner, with
all of the trimmings usually accom
panying such a feast. The dinner
was served in the guest room of his
new Coca-Cola building, which was
beautifully decorated with flowers and
evergreens, and it made a most beau
tiful setting. Between courses little
Miss Ida Pleasants, daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Monroe Pleasants, entertain
ed the diners with tap dancing, and
little Miss Ida is by no means an
amateur; her dancing was thorough
ly enjoyed.
At the conclusion of the meeting a
rising vote of thanks was given to
Mr. and Mrs. McBroom for the splen
did dinner and general good time.
After this the crowd adjourned to the
manufacturing department and saw
those wonderful machines operate. And
they are wonderful, in fact they can
do almost anything around a bottling
plant, save talk.
Frorr* 7:30 to 10 the plant was thrown
open to the public and many visitors
came to see just what a bottling plant
meant, and they saw and gave their
approval, for it is the very last word
in the way of bottling; after the bot
tles are placed in the hopper to be
washed and cleaned no hand again
touches a bottle until it is ready to be
placed in the case to be distributed to
the dealer.
The new building is a credit to the
town and we congratulate Mr. Mc
Broom upon the success he has made.
He is one of our most deserving cit
izens, and has been an honor to the
town in which he has served in more
ways than one. Again, we say, con
gratulations.

Suggestions As
To Buying And
Selling Cards
Buying And Selling Of Allot
ment Cards Should Be Done
Through County Agent's
Office.
BY H. K. SANDERS
Requests are already coming to the
office of County Agent H. K. Sanders
for the purchase of allotment cards.
These cards may be bought either
from the Department of Agriculture or
from any neighbor or other contract
signer who is willing to sell the pounds
he has left on his card. However, any
contract signer who wishes to sell
pounds should consult the County
Agent or Mrs. K. L. Street, who has
charge of the cards in the office, in
order that it may be determined wheth
er or not it will pay the owner to sell
his pounds. This year, growers who
sell part of their allotment cards will
.not receive the adjustment payment.
Whether a grower should sell depend^
upon the amount he would receive as
an adjustment payment, as compared
with the total amount for which he
can sell the unused part of his allot
ment card. Since the adjustment
payments are based on the amount of
tobacco sold, and the price received,
only a qualified authority can deter
mine the amount of each grower's
adjustment payment.
The allotment cards carry all the
pounds permitted under any contract,
and any grower who sells ALL THE
POUNDS ON HIS CARD will not re
ceive any adjustment on the 1935
crop. ,
Sales of allotment cards must be
made through the County Agent's of
fice to be legal, and the County Agents
have been instructed not to sell any
part of a card unless they can sell all
that has not been used by the grower
to whom it was issued.
If a grower has already given up his
rental, deficiency and adjustment pay
ments for 1935 in order to get an in
crease in acres or pounds, as a rum
