What a can do towards increasing consump tion of milk as a means of improv ing health is strikingly shown by the results obtained through the milk cmpaign held in Greenville, S. C, re cently. A dietary survey of the 2,031 white children brought to light the fact that only 44 per cenV o them were drinking milk daily, and that only 32 per cent were using as mucii as a pint daily.

The Scotland Neck Motor Company belongs to the latter class and are going ahead to make things happen. During the past year they have con structed a building which would be a credit to a town of many thousand population, for the use of their busi ness as exclusive Ford Dealers in cars and accessories. This building is lo cated on Main Street in the heart of the town. At the cresent time con siderable improvements are bein made. The stock and display room is being eeiled and cut off from tne balance of the first floor, and will be painted in white enamel. In this por tion will be the stock room, with dis play show cases and also room near the front windows for display of cars and tractors. On the first floor will be a rest room for ladies, with all eon veniencei. - Baek of the stock is considerable space for storing of cars waiting for repairs, and . all of the repair wor will be done on the second floor, tne In the rear of the Main building is the old garage building which the mana gement is contemplating turning Into a paint shop, and it is probable t!iat they will soon be equipped to handle any work of this character. Mr. Nor man S. Barnes, will have general pervisini th - business, . white - Mr. H. E. Dodge will be the local manager. lnis concern is not waiting ror things to happen; they are making things 1 happen and when normal bu3i neess returns they will be riding on the full tide. It is just such confi dence as this that will make for a re turn of confidence in business. w txi, 5c PER COPY - i conns s lONERSWAIIT HIGHWAY THROUGH TOJN At the regular meeting of the town commissioners last night a committee composed of The Mayor, R.
