YADKIN HIGHWAY
MAY BE CHANGED
Raleigh. June 16....The Yad- (
kin County Highway, placed on
the State highway map at the
last meeting is -expected to be
changed at the meeting of the
State highway Commission liere
Wednesday, in accordance with
ylaiis worked out by A. S. Hanes
Seventh District Commissioner.
The highway starting from
Route 26 at Jonesville, passes
through Boonville, Mt. Nebo
mod Bant Bend. However at East
Bend instead of going south to
ISnon .on Route 60, it will con
tinue eastward to Donnah, a
cross the Yadkin River, and
continue to Bethania, where it
follows the present county
concrete road from Bethania into
Route 60. about six miles out
of Winston-Salem, near Muddy
Creek bridge.
The measurements for the
road are 9.5 milse from Jones
ville ts Boonville, 14.45 miles
from Boonville to East Bend J
4.76 miles from East Bend to
Donnaha and 10.5 miles from'
Donnaha to Route 60, via Beth
ania, the Juncture being 6,35
miles from Winston-Salem.
The distance from East Bend
~ to Eaon is 6.36. The change to
Donnaha makes the mileage in
Yadkin county 2.1 miles Issb and
nearer the mileage allotment for
Yadkin since the road exceeds
the allotment a littler anyway.
The change 1s expected to be
more satisfactory to a majority
of the people affected since it
cuts the distance from East
Bend and points west to Wins
ton-Salem by four o r five miles.

PENNEY TO MAKE
GENERAL RE PRICING
j Material reductions in the
I base prices of a wide variety of
articles have resulted in a gen
eral re-pricing of these items by
our 1450 stores, with the new
levels representing a substantial
increase in the customers buying
power, according to a statement
released here today by Earl C.
Sams, President of J. C. Peuney
Company.
"Commodity prices particular
ly in staple lines, have been de
clining for some time past," Mr.
Sams states, and orders now be
ing delivered to our stores are
on a lower basis enabling us to
pass 'on the consequent savings to
our customers.
"There have been notable re
ductions so far in silk piece
goods, silk hosiery and other
'items which have been affected
by the general discipline in the
price of raw silk. Among these
are flat crepes, georgette*, satin
crepes and other silks which
show very substantial reductions.
Some of our own well known
brands of silk hosiery are today
priced lower than at any time
since the war.
"In men's and boy's work
qlothes equivalent reductions
have been made by the manu
facturers and these reductions
are today reflected in the prieo
tags on these Items in our
stores.
"In maknig these new low re
tail prices we feel we are briding
the Rap between the new lower
wholesale prices and. the prices
Ito the consuming public and are
, therefore captrlbuying directly
jto the re-establishment of great
er" confidence both by tlvp man
ufacturer and by the buying
public.
"We are making these new
prices immediately available.
"As a result of generally
lowered prices on raw materials
we have been able either to re
jduce the selling price on much
ntaple merchandise or-to give to
oar customers better articles at
the same prices.
"This readjustment In prices
throughout our stores Is a direct
result of savings passed on from
the mills and manufacturers,
and now made available to our
customers throughout the coun
try."
Surry County dairymen have
begun the delivery oT-whole milk

of milk.
