THE Roanoke Beacon and Washington County ISetcs PUBLISHED EVERY FRIDAY In Plymouth. Washington County, North Carolina The Roanoke Beacon is Wash ington County's only newspaper. It was established in 1889, consoli dated with the Washington County News in 19J9 and with The Sun In 1937. Subscription Hates (Payable in Advance! One year_SI.50 ; Six months_ .75 i — Advertising Rates Furnished Upon Request Entered as second-class matter at the post office in Plymouth, N C., under the act of Congress of March 3, 1879. Friday. June 23. 1939 Truly. This Is a Baffling World It's all so baffling. Hie agricultural colleges tell the fanners how to produce more when there is an admitted surplus of farm commodities. The banker tells us to be thrifty and save money, and right now the banks are bulging with money. Every chamber of commerce is try ing to get new industries to locate in their towns when, to tell the truth, industry now can run half time and supply the demands for its products. I'he I’nited States, and England, too, spent millions to build subma rines to kill men in war and then turn around and spend hundreds of thou-1 ands trying to rescue a few men rapped in one of the death-dealing hings. '['here is no suggestion for the ag iculturists to stop teaching; there is iound advice in the banker's recorn nendation to save; it is well for the hambers of commerce to be alive and working for new industries, and it may be well for I'ncle Sam and John lie Hull to build submarines costing millions, but the whole business leems queer because we are not try ing to expand the markets and feed ;he poor to put those saving that are aulging the bank vaults to work in the interest of down-trodden man kind, to extend the necessities of lile to the millions who now do not share in the products of industry, and be cause we are not trying to work for peace by peaceful means --a Dedication of Pettigrew Park When the time comes for formal dedication of Pettigrew Park in the Lake Phelps area, there is no ques tion but that it should be made an event of more than local importance. The name alone will draw visitors from many parts of the South, and undoubtedly the State organization of the U. D. C. will want to have an important part in any program that may be presented. Indicative of the interest in the park throughout the Albemarle sec tion is the following editorial from the Chowan Herald, published in Edenton: It is reported that a gala day will be made of the dedication of Pettigrew Park some time in the late summer, and that the Hon. TUXEDO? MASH \ Jm/ucUrf/ rOR big egg production, your hens need a correct balance of cereal and mineral ele ments and animal proteins. They must have the proper vi tamins, too.

Wholesale Dealers Only / PAVE ALL STREETS WITH CONCRETE! 7 good reasons why - 1 Concrete is quiet. It greatly reduces the tire rumble set up by rapidly moving vehicles. 2 Traffic markers are built-in. Joints running the length of the pavement serve as lane markers without costly and impermanent stripe painting. 3 Every street demands a gritty, non-skid surface for the protection of motorists and pedestrians. 4 At night you need a pavement with high visibility. 5 Safety also calls for a pavement that is free from chuck holes, ruts and bumps . . . and stays that way with minimum maintenance. 4 You want a pavement that drains quickly . . . that is easily cleaned and stays clean ... no depressions to catch dirt. 7 You want a pavement that makes the whole neighbor hood look modern, prosperous, attractive. Concrete . s. and only concrete ... completely meets all of these specihcations. For complete pavement pacts write to PORTLAND CEMENT ASSOCIATION State Planters Bank Bldg., Richmond, Va. Bruce Etheridge of the Depart ment of Conservation and De- j velopment. is making some plans to that end. As the park is a State project and this section has given it sup port. we believe quite a gala day may be made of the dedication. Creswell. Columbia and Ply mouth. the nearest towns, will be represented, we know, but sub mit that such an event should as sure a wider aspect and the whole Albemarle area s >.ould be let in. Governor Hoej. whose speeches and work aided in the matter so considerably, and Congressman Lindsay Warren, the ardent ad vocate of the park, should be present and speak. A great day is ahead. General Pettigrew merits wide attention, and the park will prove one of the Albemarle > best and most useful attractions. Rambling ...About By THE RAMBLER Knew Her Hardware— According to the Troy <N. Yd Times Record, the identity of a cer tain yoimg lady there is withheld, but the memory of her answer lingers on with the instructor conducting a science course in the local high school. One of the requirements in the written quiz was "Define a bolt and nut and explain the difference, if any." The girl wrote: "A bolt is a thing like a stick of hard metal, such as iron, with a square bunch on one end and a lot of scratching wound around the other end. A nut is similar to the bolt, only just the opposite, being a little chunk of iron sawed off short, wit’ wrinkles around the inside of the hole." The startled professor marked that one with a large “A." Easy Street, for Sure— Watching the collector for one of the slot machine companies empty ing a machine of the "take" here the other day. we were reminded of the story about the young fellow who got a job as collector for a similar com pany. When he went to work, the mana ger called him in and said. 'Take this master key and empty all the coin boxes: get all the nickels.” About three weeks later he walked into the office. "Can I have another key?" he asked, "I lost the other one.” "Certainly,” replied the manager. "But where have you been all this time? The cashier has waited late every Saturday night, expecting you to come in for your wages.” "Great guns!" exclaimed the de lighted youngster, beaming bruadly, "do I get wages, too?” Mystery— The Whiteville News Reporter re cently told about a lady down in Ta bor City who was much perturbed to find that the three pounds of meat she had purchased had disappeared. Her husband, aiding in the search, noticed what he took to be a guilty look on the face of the house cat. and said, pointing to the animal, "There's your meat." mij, uu. uujecieu me rauur City lady, "that little thing couldn’t get away with all that meat." "Well, let's weigh her and see," suggested the husband. They did so. The scales registered exactly three pounds. "Yes," admitted the lady. "There's the meat. But where's the cat?’’ Truth in Advertising— The Publisher’s Auxiliary, journal of the weekly newspaper field, re cently ran part of a reprint which it called the "ultimate in advertising candor." Certainly, that was putting it mildly, as you can judge for your self. The Auxiliary goes on: "An advertisement headed, ’Adams Grub Sale,’ created more demands for extra copies of the Shelbina Demo crat than any feature during recent years. Advertising agencies over the United States sent hurry-up orders for papers of that issue. The adver tisement, in part, was as follows: "’This stuff ain’t so hot! But we have it, and we’re getting tired of looking at it. You probably won't be rble to eat any of it. But we sure will express our appreciation if you auy some of this junk and make your self a penny richer. "Apple Sauce 'Yellow Bonnet) Worms Extracted, No. 2 can 18c.
