Editorial and Opinion Significant Progress ... Two events of vast significance to Orange County have occurred within its bounds within the past two.weeks, both of which deserve the warm approval of all our people. Both events signify progress of a degree sufficient to win the notice and approbation of North Carolinians from Gov ' ernor Scott down. The reference, of course, is to the passage of the million and a quarter bond issues for scMools and a new courthouse, and the dedication of the new $50,000 Schley Grange Hall. The story of these two events has been told and re told and needs no retelling here. Both events are tremendous com pliments to the citizens of our county and powerful evi dences of the fact that Orange County is on the move in many fields. This newspaper congratulatesfall who had a part in either event, the passage of the btnrd issues or the winning of the National Grange Community .Service contest and the subsequent completion of the model building. “Trade-at-ho«e” Boost Christmas opening-events in Orange County this year were more successful than ever before and large crowds at tended openings in Hillsboro, Chapel Hill and Garrboro. The parades and community sing programs showed evidence of successful planning and those responsible deserve the appreciation of all members of the business communities of the three towns, There is little doubt that with such a senc’.off and renewed evidence of aggressive merchandising the current season will be more successful from a “trade-at home” standpoint than ever before. No-Mrac'e Worker Advertising is not a miraculous system to enable a nier se!I shop-worn, out-of-date merrhnndise for the chant to same profit that He..expects to receive when the goods were tiewlV arrived in his plate of litis in ess. ' / ; -■ In, fact, advertising is not a deviee tc> se 11 anything that is not the most up-to-date that the customer can secure1 for his money. The merchant who sells goods knows that his merchandise must meet competition, which means that it must be as good as anything offered to consumers whether the offering is through personal conversation in his store or in the columns of a newspaper through advertising. Advertising doesn’t increase the utility of the articles ad vertised to any prospective buyer. This is the basis of many attacks .upon advertising by those who do not realize that .advertising is modern salesmanship. Business men em ploy individuals to sell goods. They do not expect salesmen to improve the goods sold irt order to justify their salaries. Salesmen are only expected to sell. Advertising is a sales promoter.-it does not affect mer chandise except to speed-up its transfer from merchant to customer. If there are enough “speed-ups,” the merchant gets rij faster turn^)verf, reduces numerous carrying expenses and is aide to operate on smaller profits per item because he sells more items-. What Of The Churches? The Federal Reserve Board has now told us what we do with our money, This in itself is interesting since most of us continually wonder where our money is going—but the trouble with the federal organization is that they leave some money unaccounted for. . * Here is the data. According to the Federal Reserve out of each $100 left to the average American, after taxes, $6.20 *is spent on autos and auto parts; $9.60 for clothing and shoes;$32.7<fc for food and drink, including alcoholic bever ages and $6.20 on furniture and household equipment. The average citizen saves $6.90. And all this leaves $38.43 which is not broken down. We regret that the board did not see fit to break “our money” down further. For’instance, how much goes to the church or to other worthy institutions? We’re not saying how that figure would have compared to others but have a strong “hunch”' there would have been surprising contrasts between material items and donations to churches,, etc. What do you think?

They line up for meals, clothing, immunization shots, pas ses to town, movies, transportation, and so on. Facilities in the services are limited and this was, and perhaps still is, necessary in most cases in order to serve so many men. In civilian life, lines of people can be eliminated almost' entire ly by just “hurrying ,up.” A wait, usually, is not necessary. For th© past two weeks Drivers .License Examiner W. R. Davis has warned residents withh surnames (last) beginning with L an M to report for examinations before the last day. December 31. He is un doubtedly familiar with late driv ers with . names beginning A through K taking their examina tions in the past, to issue two such statements. i Reading between, the alines w& see the re’uctant drivers waiting until -the last day - to take their tects. standing^ in -long lines and, making. the situation unpleasant hnrth for the exanvner and the (rivers. If thev would report when the announrement is made con cerning their rntoebry, alt this would be eliminated. Perhans it is the fear of taking the exam that keens so many . away, but it seems to' us the best thing to do is hurry uo and get it over with and avoid the long lines and confusion, that result from putting it off until the last day. , Y' ' ■o■ New Office Hours Set By Welfare Hillsboro — Daily office hours from 8:30 a.m. to 12:00 noon were announced to day by Mrs. Jean M.
