THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 1936 Tobacco farmers are very busy this week with their plant beds. This is the first week that they have been able to do any work on the beds since before Christmas. Everyone hopes that they are preparing plants that will pro duce a crop of tobacco that will sell for a good price, but they do not know what will happen. After the AAA was overthrown the price of tobacco dropped. Whether it will stay down or go up it too much for anyone to tell. A number of men from the to bacco states were in Washing ton this week trying to agree upon a plan that would be of benefit to the farmers when j they sell their next crop. The new plan calls for crop control and will be backed by state legislation and also federal. Crop control is the only solution of the problem. If too much to bacco is raised the price will be low—there must be control. Claude T. Hall of Person County met with the other representatives and was named on a committee to represent this state. ! Mr. Hall should adopt a per manent Washington address. He has been there hundreds x°f 1 times in the interest of the farmers and his work has not been in vain. Person County is very for tunate in having a citizen of the calibre that Mr. Hall is. He is an influential citizen and he uses his influence in the interest of his fellowman. Something is wrong with the people of Roxboro or something is wrong with a large number of people in Roxboro. They just do not seem to appreciate clas sical programs of any kind. ' The N. C. Symphony Orches tra failed to attract more than a handful of people on two oc casions that it was here. The Womans’ club recently sponsor ed several concerts or plays in Roxboro that were better than good. The people failed to at tend and the Womans’ club lost money. The Duke Musical Clubs were here last week. The price was reduced to 25 cents and still the people did not turn out as they should have. Mr. Kirby, manager of the thea tre, states that he is afraid to book too many classical produc tions as he always loses money on them. A wild west show gets much better results. Is Roxboro different from other cities or does the same thing prevail in all places? A new grocery store opened in Roxboro last week. A new studio opened the week before that. A new theatre will be opened in six weeks. The mills are running and a large ma- I jority of people have jobs that ' afford them a living. Roxboro has been growing for a number of years and is } now showing a good spurt. On ly one vacant building remains ! on Main street, and, we believe, one more in the business dis ' trict. Politics get warmer, but we have heard of nothing that in ; dicates who will run for the Senate or the House from this ’ county. We hardly believe that ’ a draft will be necessary, but ' one can never tell. ’ If R. L. Harris warits to go * bade he can probably get as 1 large a vote as he cares for, blit be has made no statement ’ fete jNek r -' H SOCIETY MISS VICTORIA GARRETT Social Editor Y. W. A.

Many truck and commercial car owners and bus operators are find ing the engine and parts exchange plan of the Ford Motor Company decidedly advantageous both as to convenience and economy, accord ing to Ford officials. Records show that more than 175,000 recondition ed V-8 engines have been purchased under the plan by owners of trucks, commercial cars and buses. Under the exchange plan, block tested factory reconditioned engine cylinder assemblies are obtainable at low cost in exchange for the us ed engine. Many vital parts, such as carburetors, generators, distribu tors, fuel pumps, and clutch disc assemblies, all reconditioned to new part specifications, are also offered. Both convenience and economy are served by the plan, according *to testimonials of commercial car users. The ready installation of the reconditioned engines eliminates tie ups of equipment, and since the cost is less than the average cost of an engine overhaul, maintenance charg es are reduced, according to letters from owners. Among truck and bus operators who point out that the plan elimi nates tie-ups are R. L. Schoenberg er, superintendent of highways at Princeton, Illinois; and the Strouds burg Ice and Cold Storage Com pany, of Stoudsburg, Pa., and the Kelly Theatres Company of lola, Kansas. Lower maintenance costs are emphasized by the Pittsburgh Transport & Storage Company, Pittsburgh, Pa., the Sedro-Wooley- Mt. Vernon Stage Company of An carotes. Wash., and the Schappi Bus Line of Calumet City, 111. The Schappi Company reports that a motor change was made at 59,400 miles and no additional ex penses have been incurred since. The Anacortes Company states that no money was spent for repairs on its first Ford bus up to 88,000 miles and that a motor change was then made. Other truck owners who have re ported favorably on the conven ience and economy of the plan in clude D. S. Robertson, who oper ates a truck from Statesboro to Sa vannah, Ga., Leroy Pitcher, a milk dealer, of Logan, Utah; the Square Deal Oil Company of St. Louis, Mo. the Boteler Packing Company o' Jackson, Miss., and the Globe Grain and Milling Company of Los Ange lese, Calif. E. J. Brooks, of Fullerton, Cali fornia, reports that one motor ex change enabled him to operate his truck 220,000 miles carrying hay. j lumber, grain and cottonseed into and out of the Imperial Valley with ! temperatures as high as 123 in : shade. Maurice L. Vermillion, of Elk ridge, Md., reports operating a Ford truck 90,000 miles, and then install- , ing at low cost a reconditioned mot- ] or which, from previous experience ! he expects to run another 90,000 ' miles practically without additional expense.
