Many New Firms Have Opened
In Roxboro During Last 2 Years
Firms Are Now Well Establish
ed And Doing Their Bit To
Contribute To The Progress
Os This City And County..
Many firms are advertising on the
different pages of the Times this
week. These firms, many of them,
have not been, in Roxboro for a
great number of years, but they
have been here long enough to de
finitely establish themselves. They
are now recognized as being a part
of this city. They have been favor
ed with a fine business and it is only
natural that people continue to fa
vor them.
All of these firms have contribut
ed to the progress of Roxboro and
Person County. Each one has spent
money here. Each one works several
people in its place of business. Each
is very important.
Roxboro is a growing city. All
over the entire city and county one
car. find new' firms that have open
ed, firms that were not here during
the depression, but firms that are
here to stay. As you walk over Rox
boro it is almost impossible to find
a vacant store. Only one or two re
main in the city limits and these
will probably be rented soon.

This edition is designed to show
something of Roxboro’s growth in
a business way. It is not a complete

MEDICAL POLICY
CHANGES IN
BIRTH CONTROL
ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., June 9
(A. P.). —The birth control policy
adopted by the American Medical
Association means far more than
contraception, as this change in
medical policy was veiwed today
by some of the physicians who lead
this association’s medical thought.
It was a recognition of a change
in biological thinking, based on
many advances in knowledge of the
human body, mind and spirit. It
involved saving of life and ques
tions of how to have children just
as much as how to avoid them.
The doctors who talked today
would not permit use of their
names.
.. Wait On Public Opinion
The long delay in recognizing
birth control as legitimate and nec
essary medical practice, they said,
was not wholly due to religious ob-

There was also conservatism,
and especially the wish of some
physicians of influence to wait un
til public opinion had ertirely crys
tallized in favor of birth control.
The first principle adopted in
the association’s new birth control
oolicy aims to meet conflicting
State laws and the fact that court
decisions from time to time change
the legal status of contraceptive
practices.
Legal Rights
The association will attempt to
inform the doctors of their legal
rights and privileges under the law.
Their practice in contraception is
to be left to their own consciences.
The second paragraph of the new
code is aimed at investigation of
contraceptives already available.
Some of the instruments used have
been held indirectly to cause can
cer by the irritation they produce.
The purpose of code two is to
classify the contraceptives now
available, to recommend the use of
those medically considered safe,
and to apply their use to individual
peculiarities.
