N. C., under the act of Congress of March 3, 1879, __ Friday. June 30. 1933 Under the Beacon Light _By WALTER H. PARAMORE This issue of the Roanoke Beacon is dedicat ed to Shcp Brinkley, who is exerting every effort by utilizing his pleasing personality and his years of experience in the show business to give Ply mouth and its environs a modern show house to help along the general business of the town. It is believed that the general business acumen of Mr. Brinkley, along with other attractive factors, will result in the addition to Plymouth of a good citizen who will revive and renew the community interest in the picture house that is generally conceded to be an asset to any town. And. further, with this young man's advent comes to this little old town by the Roanoke an organist of renown whose talents can be utilized to mean increas ing interest in home-talent affairs, as he has for years been a guest organist for the Warner Brothers, play ing at many of the large theatres. Then, again, he deserves a pat on the back because he has visions of the future in sinking his interest in a show business here, as he believes with the zeal of an ardent u-orker an increase in revenue with a con version of the picture house into a combination show place with a place for a negro audience. What can he said for Mr. Brinkley is probably also true of R. E. Dilday, operator and projectionist at the theatre, who will add his rich experience to that c l Mr. Brinkley. a> the two will blend their efforts in making the venture a success. .S',) the Be icons Toast—“May this communi ty as a collection of individuals working toward a common goal of civic improvement render every assistance possible to these two young men in their efforts to put across a modern amusement center jor Plymouth and may they be accepted as o-wi kers in making this a bigger and better Plymouth.'’ ■-o—— Er, an Fred Bateman down old Skinnersville way comes another tricky problem to perplex the master mindr of the readers of "this yere colyum." But, un like the general custom, the columnist will give both puzzle and answer in this issue so that the gray mat ter of many will not be overworked in this hot weath er. A boy has two strings. One is twice as long as the other. He cuts 6 inches off each string. Then one is three times a> long as the other. What is the length i of the strings? Answer: The first string is 12 inches long. 12 in. minus 6 is 6 inches. 3 times 6 is 18. Second string j is 24 inches long. 24 minus 6 is IS. ■o Heal'd of the grandstand crowds, the knot-hole gang and the hleacherites at baseball games, but it remained for a group here to start the "beefing section,” (in terpreted to mean those who stand along the side lines grumbling when a player errs or pulls a boner). This group which jestingly calls itself the ”beefing section' includes I'. \Y. Brown, Dr. T. L. Bray. Ed Ayers. H. S. Midgette. and others. But there is not [ a secluded group anywhere a more loyal crowd to the local club despite their remarks in the heat of their i emotions in a game. They organized themselves. They named their or ganization. They advertised it. And, like a nagging I married couple, they enjoy their fun during the game and then forget it after the game is over and chip in t their donations. They have their quarters down by ! the scoreboard. -o If you like this little column, write and tell the editor about it. If you don’t, write also. Letters will be published if space is available.

From a company which has pioneered in new developments and is fully aware of the Importance of such a guarantee from a company which is the industry’s recognized leader • This company stands squarely back of Essolene as a great advance over gasoline—a new goal for all gasolines to attain.
