We read about what they are going to have in one of the daily pa pers and then try to get the program that night. It’s ab- solutely useless as you can’t get the station at all. You can tell when you are on it, but just a mass of utterances will greet you. We have tried to get bas ketball games, Duke programs of first one kind and then the , other. The results, at night, are always the same. It is not dif ficult to get the station during the day, but a majority of the best programs come at night. If possible the officials of W. D. N. C. should do something to give their Roxboro friends a better reception at night. o Watch out for a building boom in the business district of Roxboro. At the present time it’s next to impossible to find a business place for rent and in a short time someone is go 'ing to have to build. Roxboro has been growing at a rapid rate and indications are that this city will continue to grow. If this is to be the case then some more buildings in the business district must be erected and that time is not far off. A few buildings are large e nough to divide, but not many. Recently there has been a ten dency to divide the large stores and make two. This has been done in two or three cases but it will not continue. Roxboro is going to grow and a mere need of buildings will not stop it. The buildings are going to come. Farmers over the entire coun ty are interested in learning • about the Crop Control bill and Mr. Sanders, County Agent, is doing everything in his power to see to it that they learn a bout it. In 81 of the State's 100 counties, grows will journey to community polls March 12 to express their opinion of mar keting quotas. If two-thirds of those voting want restriction on their 1938 tobacco and cot ton crops, then the quotas will go into effect on this year’s production. In order to get a representa tive cross-section of the produc ers’ wishes, then it will be ne cessary that every grower of these crops cast his ballot. If you don't vote and are opposed to the provisions, the county ' committee can place quotas on your production anyway if the necessary majority want con trol. On the other hand, if you want your crop restricted so that prices may be held up next year, then you should do your part by visiting the polls on March 12 and marking yes on the ballot. Anyone who produces tobac co or cotton in 1937, whether he be landlord, operator, ten ant or sharecropper, will be eligible to' vote. Vote as you please but vote.

C- THE BUSINESS WEEK In the face of a steady recession in business since August last, there is admittedly little to support the theory that within the next sixty days an upswing in industry may be hoped for; yet that is indicated by all available data. With the except ion of 1932, every period through out the depression marked an up ward movement at the end of the first quarter of the year, continuing well into the Summer. There is ev ery reason to believe that this trend may be repeated this year, largely, however, through further govern ment “pump priming.” .... Fail ing to obtain the support of the more powerful railroad unions, the train-operatipg brotherhoods seem destined to lose their demand that freight trains be limited to 70 cars in length. Congress appears gen uinely concerned over the loss in railroad revenue, and disinclined to favor new legislation aimed at ad ditional reductions in operating in come The automotive industry is anxiously awaiting any further action along the lines of General Motors, which has just cut 10% from all salaries up to SIO,OOO, 20 per cent additional from salaries from SIO,OOO to $50,000 and an additional 30% on any excess over $50,000. Plant employers covered by union contracts are not affected Gloomy prospects for immediate em* ployment for the army of college graduates next June were held by speakers at the National Occupa tional Conference at Atlantic City, who predicted an era of hard sled ding for white-collar workers. IMPORTANT BILLS IMPEND Washington, D. C. With the 8- weeks filibuster over the Anti- Lynching Act disposed of, Congress settles down to consideration of many of the most important pieces of legislation now pending. Among the measures on which speedy ac tion is expected are tax revision, reorganization of Government de partments, and naval appropriations. Many public hearings are schedul ed during the week on highly con troversial bills before both houses. MME. CHIANG QUITS Hankow, China lt is reported that Mme. Chiang Kai-shek will re linquish command of air forces, which she has directed for two years. The terrific strain of the Japanese invasion is said to have impaired the health of the Welles ley-educated wife of China’s Gen eralissimo. Chinese planes have taken a sudden offensive, not only bombing r»eafby Japnnese islands, but halting the Jap penetration to ward South China. SPY HUNT CONTINUES New York City Arrest of two soldie*s and a woman confederate charged with furnishing United States Army information to a for eign power is believed to be only the first step in a sweeping inquiry into a widespread espionage system in this country. A large squad of i operatives Os the Federal Bureau of Investigation are active in this city working on various leads thus far uncovered. GENERAL PERSHING RALLIES Tucson, Ariz. After his family and physicians had given up hope for his recovery, General John J. Pershing showed signs of improve ment. Whether the rally will con tinue or not his doctors declined to commit themselves. " 1 "'TnnwmT mm | A? VfjT IS YOUR CAR SET FOR SPRING?
