SUNDAY, MARCH 12, 1939 OF THE PEOPLE, BY THE PEOPLE AND FOR THE PEOPLE The Person County Bar Association has passed a resolution asking that the general assembly pass such an act as is neces sary to provide for the election of the county judge and prosecut ing attorney by a vote of the people. The lawyers also believe that the judgeship should be open to lawyers as well as laymen. We think the lawyers are right « There seems to be no good rea son why the people of this county should not have a voice in nam ing the judge and solicitor of the county court The voters are al ’ lowed a voice in naming district judges and solicitors, Mayor and other important officers. Why not let the voice of the people apeak concerning the county court? We also agree with the law. yen in their idea that the judge .chip be open to lawyers. There is ao reason why a good lawyer could not be a good judge. To tell the truth he should have snany points in his favor that the .average layman does not have. This resolution, that was mentioned at the beginning of the editorial, has been called to the attention of Person County's representative, Ed Warren. Mr. Warren will probably be in Rox boro Monday in an effort to dis cover how the people feel about the idea and if sentiment is favorable he will ask the general assembly to pass such a measure as is necessary. DOLLAR DAYS Dollar Day are good things. _ We have no idea how much busi ness the merchants of Roxboro , did Thfursday, Friday and, Saturday, but they were helped ; some by the special event. Then too, the customers was helped because merchandise was really sold at bargain prices. Many people capie to Roxboro Satur day just to pick up a few bar gains and when they went into .the stores they naturally bought more merchandise than they planned to. There’s no harm in spending money as long as you have it and use it for items that are worthwhile. Money spending helps everyone and we have to keep money circulating if we all are to get our part of it It might be a good thing if the Chamber of Commerce would sponsor dollar days two or three times a year. DAWES RETIRES After five terms as mayor of this city R. B. Dawes has decided to retire. Dawes has served the city well and has made a good mayor. He made a few people mad, not many, and generally kept everyone satisfied as far as was possible. Dawes went about his work in a quiet easy manner and ne ver failed! to do his duty. He was the same mayor to rich that he was to poor and tried to treat all on the same basis. Being mayor of Roxboro is a hard job. It’s probably harder to give satisfaction in a small city than in a large one. The pay is small and the duties are many. It’s easy to make friends by vir tue of the position and much easier to make enemies. The man ■ who is leaving the mayor’s office has done all that he could for this cRy and its citizens wish hhn all the hide in the world. i Thomas A.

For the past week the land has been so wet that our fanners have not been able to walk or drive across the fields to apply top dressing. However, for best results, it is urgently recommended that you put on your Nitrate of Soda or Sulphate of Ammonia the very first day possible. Apply not less than 100 lbs. per acre. RIGHT NOW IS THE TIME. Proper fertilizers and top dres sing give a much better quality of crop. This is shown by better filled heads, plumper kernels, and heavier weight per bushel; Properly fertilized crops mature earlier than unfertilized crops and thus escape some damage from rust Fertilize For Big Yields Per Acre lt Pays. ■ o Building A Home Is tic' Investment Os A Ufa lime For Ideal Hearn Mas Bee “Sunset HAt” THOB.&WOODY raattnt county times roxboro. n. c. With Our Contemporaries j a.— -a PH. D.’S DO GET JOBS Winston-Salem Journal In these latter days which have' proved trying to men’s souls, and also their soty, as they have pounded the pavement looking for jobs, a college degree, particular, ly one in the upper brackets like a degree of Doctor of Philosophy, is considered in some quarters as a handicap rather than an advan tage. Some business men are inclin ed to look on the Doctor of Phil osophy as something of a pedant, whose interest in the fine points of intellectual matters, disqual ifies rather than qualifies him for concentration on matters of business. But this tradition about the place of the highly educated man in the world of business affairs has had a jolt from the figures' presented by The Princeton Alumni Weekly, which reports that of the fifty-two men who re ceived the degree of Doctor of Philosophy last June, fifty-one have jobs, and the one Doctor who did not get a job was kept from employment by illness. From those fgures, it would seem that a degree is not a very handicap in the job market In fact these statistics should give fresh impetus to scholasticism. o AUTO UNION NOT C. L O. Detroit Mich.—in his stormy controversy with John L. Lewis of the Congress of Industrial Organizations, Homer Martin, leader of the United Automobile Workers of America, declared his union is not now nor had ever been affiliated with the C. I. O. He was cheered by a con vention representing 62,900 workers when he suggested eith er an alliance with the American Federation of Labor or the re tention of the union’s independ ence. GHANDI AGAIN STARVING Delhi, India—Fears are enter tained among British officials that Ganda, Indian agitator, may on his present “fast” actually acomplish what he has six times tried before:! his own starvation. He has taken no food for a week and is daily growing weaker. Strangely enough, the 669-year-old native’s quarrel this time is not with the British but with the ruler of one of the Indian states. NEW POPE’S CORONATION Vatican City, Italy—ls one of the most impressive pageants known to the modem world, Pope Pius XII has been crowned with the triple tiara of the Pa pacy.

Turns On Tears At Directors Nod A cryng contest on a film set may have determined two things: young less-experienced dramatic actresses start weeping slowly, and can’t stop so soon—but vet eran dramatic actresses cry more while they’re about it In the contest at at the Warner Bros. Studio during the filming of a scene for “Yes, My Darling Daughter,” the comedy opening to the Dolly Madison Theatre to morrow and Tuesday, were Pris cilla Lane and Fay Bainter. Neither belongs to the class of actress who has to have menthol blown into the eyes. Just a nod from the director is all they need. Mias Lane took one minute, fifteen seconds by the script girl’s stop-watch before she wept enough to start the tears rolling down her cheeks. Miss Bainter had to start dry eyed and cry as soon as possible after the scene had started. It took her twenty-two seconds. She stopped almost immediately after the scene was over, but While she was at it tears streamed from her eyes, Miss Lane, on the ther hand, couldn’t stop for nearly five min utes. Don Juan Role For Naish In Gang Thriller J. Carrol Naish, the seasoned screen villain, will bp seen as a lover for the first time in his long career, while lovely Patricia Morison is his partner in roman ce, in “Persons in Hiding.” The thrilling Paramount crime drama opens locally tomorrow at Hie Palace Theatre. It is believed in many quarters that Naish received his unusual 1 assignment as the result of his first screen kiss in the recent “Illegal Traffic.” At that time the romantic scene appealed so strong ly to Naish that he swore his next picture would show him “com pletely in love.” “Gary Cooper and Milland have nothing on me,” was the way he expressed it at the time. And so “Persons in Hid ing” presents Naish as a “killer in more ways than one!” o Bob Baker True Son Os The West Bob Baker who comes to Palace theatre on Friday, March 17th., is a son “of the old west.” Baker’s childhood and early manhood were spent on cattle ranches in western Colorado and northern Arizoa. Baker played football on the high school team at Phoenix, Ari zona, and learned to shoot and ride on a ranch near Phoenix. His employer encouraged him to learn to sing, and Baker not only learned to sing, but learned to play the guitar. His first engage ment was over a radio station at El Paso, Texas. Bob’s mother sent his picture to Universal Studios. Universal liked his looks, tested him, and gave him a contract to play “Musical Westerns,” of which “Courage of the West,” is the first. Not since the days of William S. Hart has the screen found a cowboy who can ride as hard, shoot as accurately and act as well as Bob Baker. He also plays several musical instruments. A son of the west, Baker is declar ed in Hollywood to be the most sensational screen discovery of the season. Legal Notices NORTH CAROLINA, In. the Superior Court PERSON COUNTY.

PRACnCAI HEALTH HINTS The Prevention of Tooth Decay By Dr. James A. Tobey Fl* you want to hare sound teeth, free from painful decay, you will have to do more than brush them wrmrr day. Brushing the teeth morn ' lng and evening . with suitable ( or liquids on you must feed them with the proper foods, and avoid the foods that usually pro mote dental caries. Two practical rules for the pre vention of tooth decay are given by Dr. Nina Slmmonds of California In the December issue of the Amer ican Journal of Public Health. Put l Into pimple language, these rules may be stated, as. follows: j l. if an Individual has any tend ency to tooth decay, he should re duce to a minimum his Intake of gugar and sweet foods. Instead, starches and fats should be his 'main sources of food-energy. I X In addition to keeping raw son will take notice that an action entitled as above has been commenced in the superior court of Person County, North Carolina, for the purpose of ob taining a divorce by the above named plaintiff; and the said de fendant will further take notice that she is required to appear at the office of the clerk of the superior court of said county in the courthouse in Roxboro, N. C., on or before the 2nd day of May, 1939, and answer or demur to the complaint in said action, or the plaintiff will apply to the court Professional Cards s. F. NICKS, JR.

PEARCE j EYES EXAMINED MONDAYS ONLY Thomas - Carver Bldg. ■UNDAY, MARCH IE, U* sugars low lu the diet, the dally food supply should always furnish an abundance of minerals, proteins and vitamins, especially vitamin D.’ In other words, get your food energy chiefly from such valuable sustaining foods as bread and cer eals, potatoes, and other vegetables, and from fats such as butter, cream,' shortening, vegetable oils, and fat'; meats. ‘ Get your minerals, proteins, and vitamins from pasteurized or certi fied milk, eggs, fruits, green and yellow vegetables, whole wheat and white bread, lean meats, and fish. For vitamin D, use cod Uver oil and other fish oils, vitamin D milk, egg yolk, butter, and vitamin D concentrates. These sensible rules have been confirmed by recent dental studies. It has been reported, for example, that soft foods such as bread and cake actually do not harm the teeth, but that some coarsely ground, hard foods may get into the crevices of the teeth and cause add conditions tljat help to produce decay. Certain hard foods, such as toast,' rolls, and bread crust, which are l hard because they are heated orj baked and hot Mcause they are coarse, are beneficial rather than harmful, especially since they help to exercise the teeth. for the relief demanded in said complaint R.
