SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 1938 NEW STORE BUILDINGS WANTED Roxboro has recently experienced a building boom of new houses, but there have been very few new stores built in the past several years. At) the present time is practically impossible for a new concern to open a store here because there are only one or two va- cant store buildings in the en- - tire business district. If these do not fill the requirements there are 1 no other places. 1 Roxboro needs four or five new 1 store buildings right now. We be- ; lieve that they would rent in , short order and Roxboro would i thereby be a little larger. 1 Right now we are thinking of 1 business in Roxboro that has to move from its present location 1 and there does not seem to be , any place in the shopping dis- ] trict that this - business can move 1 to. The owner is even thinking ’ of storing what he has and going] out of business until he can find a place that he likes and can get.' ■ He is willing to pay a fair rent: and has to have a place within forty-five days. Roxboro needs four or five' mere store buildings. Who will build them? FARMING FOR PERSON It has been said that the mill pa;,.-roll in this county is now larger than it has been in years. Oi.r mills are certainly doing much better and the pay-roll mo- j ney should be helping business.] Collins and Aikman is running night and day and products are being turned out about as rapid ly as is possible under the pre ser. i set-up. The situation is quite different] fr. hi last year. Our mills were doing very little and those who * were, employed there had little] tc look forward to as far as fu-j ture work was concerned. No one knew what was going to; happen. .The situation , looked i bad. ? his year we have our tobac-1 co corp to worry about. Person! Cc-nty did not produce the best! cr p in the world and the price] has not been very satisfactory, j Many farmers have finished sell-] ir,™ tobacco and have no money! left; ;,ow priced tobacco and hot ] wt :ther combined have not help-] ed buincss conditions here and r: lit now merchants are still h king for their fall trade. Che steady running of our mills hr ?. helped business and will 1 eci.tinue to. help, but that does net take the place of good tobac-, co at a good price. Person county is a farming county and the peo ple, live, mainly, on tobacco mo ney. A1 ONG THE VERY BEST Britain called on her vast col or Cal empire last week to sup port United States Amabssador Jceeph P. Kennedy’s internation al plan to find refuge for Ger man Jews. 1 ■ * Prime Minister Chamberlain asl. ed the governors of British Guiana, Tanganyika, Kenya, and other colonies to report immedi ately how many Jews their ter rit ries could accommodate. At the same time Britain ask >ed the British dominions and the United States and other major powers What they were prepar ed to do. • Che Jews are seeking a new home and it looks like the nations of the world are going to do all that they can to help them find this new home. They have the sympathy of the world and de serve every bit of it People of the United States are ( very much interested in the situa tion of the Jews. We know that they make good citizens and that they are very loyal. Roxboro numbers among its population some pf its v(ery bed)t citizens who are Jews. This same condi tion exists in every section of the United States. Personally we would like to see the Jews get a nation of their own and if they could we be lieve that it would be one of the best and most progressive in the world. o License Card (Continued From Front Page) ■ “ • speeding up of .issuance of plates is the fact, that the law requir ing vehicles to be transferred within 15 days, or be liable for a| I penalty of $2 has been in effect 1 since January and thousands of trar.sferes have already been made that ordinarily would have waited' until license time. . i Sales of North Carolina state : automobile license plates has al ready exceeded the total of the entire year of 1937, Miss Abbitt, manager, manager of the local office, announced today.

In these re gions Republicans made sweep ing election gains, attributed partly t chants; young men and women reach the pin nacle of their possibilities when they are LOYAL to their trust; .•marriage is’ the culmination of LOYALTY to a promise and is successful-, in just .the ratio of each party’s fidelity to that pact; business is successful only if it is unequivocally LOYAL to both’, its employees and customers. Loyalty to. the ideals of his country) makes :a statesman out of a civilian; friends out of ac quaintances; masters out of tyros land track; walkers into the .guid ing. hand of railroad systelns.
