THE ROANOKE BEACON Published Every Friday in Plymouth, North Carolina C V W AUSBOX.Owner SADIE AUSBON, . . Uuslness .V*r. $1.50 A YEAR IN ADVANCE Address all communications to The Roanoke Beacon, Plymouth, N. ('. Entered as second-class mail matter at the Postoffice at Plymouth, North Carolina, under the Act of March 3, 1887. FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 4 1937 Wlwtt Will Happen Ky 1950? There are many citizens in Ply mouth who lived in the age that had neither the automobile, the j radio, the movies or the airplane. The first two of these great inven ( tions have been developed within the financial reach of average families, and the latter has develop ed to a point where thirteen post office lines fly more than 2.000.000 miles each year. As tor the movies they are in ev ery neighborhood and millions of dollars are expended in producing a single feature. These four great factors in modern life have come into being in the last quarter century. W hat will happen by 1950? The question is interesting and the answer impos sible The further developement of aerial commerce is certain and dis counted. The most promising field in our opinion, is already apparent through the progress of television. Already news photographs are sent by wire for instantaneous transfer Last week the reproduction of light, waves was utilized to demonstrate that an audience in New Y ork could see Secretary Hoover, in Washington, at the same time that they listened to his speech. The radio and the telephone have successfully reproduced sound. When the scene itself i s also reproduced distance is almost an nilhiated In time millions will be able to see and hear what transpired at distant places. 1 hink of going to a little box. twisting a few dials and being able to watch and listen to a Presidential inauguration, an athletic contest, or some other great spectacle! j NOTES AND COMMENTS j o——--d A man's head is like his pocket book —it's not the outside appear ance but what it contains that counts In"order to forecast the weather with a reasonable degree of accu racy all you have to do is to predict anything you don't expect. Even in the “fatherland" they invariably speak the "mother tongue." A halting speech may be the re suit of a lame excuse. An idle brain is the advance a gent of a busy tongue. Chickens that conic home to roost have more sense than some people. Sometimes a bank cashier saves up enough to pay his running ex penses A The of liberty is eternal vigilance jund it is always payable in advance* If you want anything done well, do it yourself. Always laugh at your own jokes Confidence is seldom lost, but it is often sadh misplaced. Somebody is always getting in the way of the man who is in the pursuit of happiness. A girl isn't neccessarily timid be cause she jumps at a conclusion. Be sure of your fatted calf be fore essaying the role of the prodi gal son. Every married woman thinks v that all her huband's bachelor friends envy him .YtanyHhings may Tbe preserved in alcohol, but law and order are not on the list. 32 Years Ago -IN— Washington County Items gathered from issu° of The Roanoke Beacon published Friday, November 8, 1895 Miss Connie W aters is attend ing a revival at the Disciple Church in Jamesville this week.
