THE FIRST LADY
DROPS IN
It was a deligiit to the citizens
of Moore county to be afforded
the opportunity of catching a
glimpse of the charming First
Lady last Sunday. Mrs. Roose
velt paid a \isit to Aberdeen and
shook hands with those fortu-^
nate enough to be close by, and |
left behind her a new conquest ■
of her people
There is no gain.>;aying the|
fact that Mrs. Roosevelt has a|
winning personality. With the
strength and strenuosity of hen
cousin, the late Theodore Roose- j
velt, and the charm of her il-'
lustrious husband. Franklin D.'
Roosevelt, she is an example of:
American womanhood i'l whom
all may take justifiable pride.
And we of Moore county may
lake a personal pride in her
interest in our local projects,
the Community Centers of Aber
deen and Carthage.

led the list of book reviews. The
