SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1937 Even tho today is Sunday and business should not be transacted on this day it is a good time for you to join the Red Cross—provid ed ,of course, you have not paid your dollar to this organization for the new year. Many people have a few extra hours on Sunday and that day is a splendid day to do a good deed. Armistice day was a very good day to start the drive. 1 Many were thinking of the last war and one could not help think about the good that was done by the Red Cross during the last war—and the good that it will do in the next war. They say that Reynolds and Hancock are getting ready to wage a great campaign, one that will be typical of old times for the people of North Caro lina. Mr. Hancock has started writing letters to people in North Carolina and while we have heard of none being re- 1 ceived here you need not feel slighted. You will be asked to vote for the Congressman be fore it is over. ,Congressman Hancock may | drop into Person County at any ! time and when he does we ex i pect to get some real infor mation on this campaign. The Roxboro Tobacco Mar ket continues to sell tobacco at a good price and the market continues to show a gain over last year. Many people have sold in Roxboro this season I who have been hauling their tobacco to other markets and i they are well pleased with the sales that they have made in ' Roxboro. Altho the goal of six million pounds is still a few weeks a way many expect Roxboro to | reach this mark and perhaps go over it. The Person County crop is about 35 or 40 per cent sold, but there is a large a mount of good tobacco left in ■; 1 this county. Have you joined your local P. T. A. yet? It looks like there | are more active Parent-Teach ers Associations in the county this year than ever before. I Every community has one and they all seem to be doing a splendid work. i Any school is bound to be better with a good P. T. A. i and from the looks of things the schools in Person County -are off to a real start. Double parking continues to be a serious problem in Rox boro. Officers say that they have to allow large produce trucks, or trucks of that kind, to park double in. order that 1 they can get the merchandise to the stores. That is probably j true, but how about these peo ple who are driving passenger cars and park double just be j cause it is more convenient? Double parking has slowed j up traffic in Roxboro and will 1 continue to do 1 it until some j thing is done about it. Roxboro is a small city and \ the time has arrived when we must recognize it as such. * • G. O. P. EXPECTS GAIN Chicago, 111.—Basing his predict ions on the trend toward previous minority parties, Representative Joseph W.
