M. for Sunday edition. SUNDAY, DECEMBER 19, 1937 Japan has delivered a note of apology to the United States for the sinking of the gunboat, Panay. The apology does not justify the act nor does it make things right. It is evident to us that the Japanese knew that they were firing on a U. S. boat and evidently they did not care. We do not believie that the high officials of Japan wanted this done. We do not believe that they want any trouble with the United States and that they are sorry about the entire affair. The writer of this article does not favor war. We have gained very little by them that could not have been settled in other ways. The best way to keep peace is to stay out of the entire affair in the East, but on the other hand are do wish that the gunners on the Panay had been able to do a little damage when they started shooting at the "Jap planes. Perhaps that would have taught a few individuals a lesson. The City of Roxboro has a greed to prohibit parking on the north side of Reams Ave. for a distance of about forty feet running down by the Pioneer Warehouse. This new ordinance will ctertainly tyelp traffic on this street as it has been very congested on numer ous occasions in the past. A few simple rules like this will help Roxboro in many ways. If officers would permit no double parking on main street conditions there would also be helped. If local traffic 1 in the business district could be speeded up that too would help. Os course we can't exptect a thousand improvements in one year and many have been made recently. Others will fol- j low and Roxboro will continue to grow. On and ajfter January Ist the publishers of this paper will be forced to discontinue sending the Times to those people who are not paid up. We regret to do this but then we have to live and the rule is that must be paid in advance. Right now you can renew and get a nice fountain pen and pencil set free. After they are gone the price) will continue to be $1.50 but there will be no free gift with the subscrip tion. Many people asked us to carry them until they sold some tobacco. Now the tobac co has been sold and a few have failed to pay. Will you not come to see us this week and give us the pleasure of supplying you with the news for another twelve months.? To all who have renewed, and to the new subscribers, we render our sincere thanks. People who are in business will generally tell you that business is worse than it really is. Os course that is the wrong thing to do, but we do it just the same. Right now people in this city will tell you that December sales are under December a year ago. They will tell you that the “recession” has hit this county and that they are worried about it. Altho it may be only a recession it looks too much like our old enemy that we called “depression.” We don’t like either one and even tho business is only taking a recess ] we don’t like that either. < If the mills in this county were running on full time there would hardly be any recession ! here. We claim to be a tobacco " 1 center, but when our mills stop 1 running we feel it right away. 1 The mills in Person County • 1 work about 2300 people and if those people fail to get full pay * 1 - ■ 11 11 T " each week the merchant knows it at once. We may call tobacco • our main source of income, but our mills wjjl certainly run a close second. Roxboro has now reached the position of a fairly large place and peo ple here are dependent upon many things for a living. Mer chants have “old man over head” to contend with and each end must function smoothly if business can be called good.
