MEBANE EDITOR INJURED IN WRECK AT LOCH LILY, Car Plunges Over Embank, ment At Chub Lake Bridge Friday Morning. Suffering injuries received a bout 4 o’clock Friday morning in an automobile accident at Loch Idly, Mr. and Mrs. C. S. Parnell, of Mebane, were taken to Watts Hospital Friday morning at 8:30 o’clock. The accident occurred about five miles west of Roxboro, when Mr. and Mrs. Parnell, trav. eling in a Lincoln Zephjn: auto mobile, were returning to Dur ham. They became lost, and took the wrong road out of Roxboro. Details of the accident reveal the car failed to make a turn at Loch Lily lake bridge, and left the road, plunging down n 20-foot embankment. Mr. Parnell was knocked un conscious for a short time, but Mrs. Parnell was only stunned. She made her way to the resi dence of W. E. Rudder, merchant, who resides near the scene of the accident, and obtained aid in get ting Mr. Parnell out of the car. Both received first aid treatment at the Rudder home. Then Char les Parnell, a son, was called in Mebane and journeyed to the scene of the accident with T. L. Jeffrys, automobile man of Me bane. Reports from the hospital last' night were that Mr. Parnell had suffered a cut on the head, with possible fracture of three ribs. First X-ray pictures failed to reveal the fractures, but hospital j attaches said others would be made later. Pending these pic tures they said it was impossible \o tell the extent of his injuries. Mrs. Parnell was injured only slightly. She had a cut on ihe forehead and minor lacerations. She was said to be suffering from shock. The younger Parnell took his parents to the Durham hospital and then returned to help in get ting the car out of the embank ment, which was accomplished at a late hour Friday night. Mr. Parnell is well known in the state, being editor of the Me bane Enterprise and secretary of the North Carolina Fair associa tion. He is also secretary of the Mebane six-county fair. “One example is more valuable —than twenty precepts written in books."—Roger Ascham. SELL YOUR TOBACCO AT HOME IN ROXBORO ImonMme* Along The Way With the Editor Here’s a picture of Coy E. Day. Mr. Day now has gray hairs, many of them, but this picture was taken before he married and settled down. Coy says that it is a waste of money to advertise and this little skit is just to prove to him that people read the newspa pers. He may get mad at this, but not too mad. We knew him when he didn’t even own a service station and worked for Duck Legs Thompson. , v Young Democrat Jack Strum attended the convention in Dur ham about two weeks ago. Af ter the formal meeting Jack and the other boys dropped by the Washington Duke Tavern for a bite to eat. Jack wanted a coun try style sandwich and the wait ress said she thought she knew just what he meant. After a short wait, the waitress returned but no sandwich adorned the platter placed before “Y. D.” Strum. A pitcher of molasses and a biscuit was the food and the instructions from the waitress were “to sop.” Jack promptly made a hole in the top of the bis cuit with his finger, poured in the molasses and went to work. Ev ery crumb was consumed before he left. R. L. “Bob" Wilburn made a COY E. DAY rat trap of his own last week. Strange to say the thing worked and Mr. Wilburn caught a rat about the size of a squirrel. After he caught the rat he was afraid to kill it and secured some help. Then the slaughter started. The rat managed to get out of the trap and ran up Mr. Wilburn’s back under his coat. Neighbors say, that Mr. Wil burn let out a yell that would have shamed Tarzan. He came out of his coat iq nothing flat and put on a war dance such as has not been seen since the days of Pocahontas. We really do not know whether the rat was ever killed or not. He probably died of fright. The Times has ordered a new cut for Melvin Burke, secretary of the Chamber of Commerce. Burke went to the photographer last week and “watched for the birdie.” The result is that we have a new picture of Burke, but somehow the new one fails to register. Burke poses the best he can, but the results are always the same. Dr. W. R. Hambrick has returned to Roxboro after spending some time in Hickory and in Durham. While in Durham he was a patient at Duke Hospital. Dr. Hambrick says that the doctors told him they were going to operate Monday so he left the hospital Saturday. Any way, he is feeling fine and looks like a million dollars. We wouldn’t be surprised to see him start jerking soda again.

FOWLER Below are listed the grades ob tained by dairies and distributors of milk 4n the recent inspection by the Person County Health de partment. Elko Dairy, Grade A; Roxboro Dairy Products, Grade A; Thax ton’s Dairy, Grade D, and Bla lock’s Dairy, Grade D. The people of Roxboro should appreciate the fact that they have a grade A dairy serving them within the county, and one sell ing grade A milk in Person coun ty from an adjoining county. These dairies are serving the public, and have been establish ed for the purpose of increasing the consumption of milk, and to give the public a better diet. In so doing, they give them better health, This can only be done by increasing the quality of milk. Milk, next to water, probably, reaches more people than any other food and is capable of be ing one of our best foods or being media for pathognic bacteria. For this reason milk should be one of our best foods to be protected “Refens” Needed Aubrey Longl of Roxboro, is in receipt of a letter that should prove to be of inter est to the readers of this pa per. ■ This letter is from a color ed woman who formerly work ed for Mr. and Mrs. Long, but recently moved to Baltimore in search of employment.

C. is the Roxboro High school’s new Additional teacher, supervising prinicpal J. W. Gaddy announced yesterday. Miss Westbrook, a graduate of Winthrop college with the class of ’3B, will take over her new duties tomorrow’ moaning. She has a B. S. degree in commercial education and will teach in this field here. The new high school teacher was appointed as a result of the increased enrollment which reaches a new high of 392 for the Roxboro High school. This figure, according to Gaddy, is an increase of 166 pupils since 1936. On this basis, the high school now has five more teachers than in 1936, bringing the total to 13. Courses now offered in the commercial department, recipient of the new teacher, include typ ing, bookkeeping, shorthand, gen eral business, salesmanship and possibly business law. Nature did not intend for milk to be moved from place to place,* but our complex mode of living has made that necessary. So, that it becomes the dutj of the Health Department to see that it is pro tected and produced in the saf est place and the most sanitary methods used. Milk to be clean and safe must be produced by healthy cows and healthy milk handlers. Since it is produced in barns it is not too much to ask that the barn be as clean as the kitchen where other foods are prepared, it is not too much to ask that the cows be free from dirt and that the milk handlers wear clean clothes and have clean hands, it is not too much to expect to have a good water supply under pressure and to have all milk utensils washed and sterilized after each usage and stored in a place free from flies and other forms of contamin ation, and it is drawn from the cow and put into bottles, by bot tling and capping machines, and kept below 50 degrees F. until it reaches the final consumer. Th‘s is not the theory of how milk should be produced and hand SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 1931 Local Tenant Loan Group Begins Applications Study Bushy Fork To Organize Home Makers Club Meeting Will Be Held Wednesday At Bullock Home On Highway 144. A meeting for the purpose of organizing a Home Demonstra tion Club in the Bushy Fork township will be held Wednes day at 3:30 o’clock in the home of Mrs. B. B .Bullock on Highway No. 144, Miss Velma Beam, home demonstration agent for Person county, announced yesterday. All homemakers in this vicinity who are interested in doing some interesting projects under the supervision of the Extension Ser vice are urged to be present for this meeting. During the month of October, Miss Beam will organize Home Demonstration clubs in all com munities requesting her services, if possible. These clubs will work on practically the same projects during the year, so that the pro gram will in reality be county wide in its scope. However, in certain communities where’ the needs differ from their neighbor communities, the program will be fitted to the individual needs. “Much real work can be done for the betterment of commun ity life in particular and the county in general by the coopera tive efforts on the part of Home Demanstrdtion club members,” Miss Beam stated, “so it is hoped that many of the homemakers 1 will show an active interest in the organization of these clubs.” Announcements of the meeting times of these clubi in other communities will be announced later in this paper. o BIRTH ANNOUNCEMENT Mr. and Mrs. Edgar Long, Route 3, City, announce the birth of a baby boy, born September 17, 1938, at Gentry-Williams hospital. Mother and son are getting a long nicely. “We hold these truths to be self-evident —that all men are created equal,”—Thomas Jeffer son. led ,but it is actually being done here in Person County by produc ers of Grade “A” Milk. The health department is in terested solely in the milk being safe and wholesome for human corjsumpticji. Th(e producers of Grade D milk do not meet any of the above requirements; and for this reason, this department does not consider Grade D milk safe or a wholesome supply. The milk consumption for Per son county is low compared with the consumption of other counties in the state. We know that child ren and adults are not getting the proper diet when they are leav ing milk out of it. Milk is the cheapest and best food on earth *hnd it contains vitamins, calories, and minerals necessary for health and vigor. Children need milk to supply these minerals for nor mal growth and the best develop ment, but, before buying always look for the Grade label on the bottle cap. If you are not within reach of a Grade A dairy drink milk from your family cow, it is wonderful food. Let’s drink more milk.
