rf^#PERSON * 'l i SLANTS tty J. S. MERRITT •t o o r> Football About Ready In a short time college coaches will issue a call for foot ball players to report for practice. The boys, generally speak ing, will be in fair shape and the real grind will get under way immediately after the boys report. There are many good games scheduled for this section and one of the best ones is Duke against Georgia Tech. This game is always a thriller and always draws a crowd. The game this year will hardly prove to be an exception. A good crowd and a good game can be expected. o— 0 0 0 Mallory Is Gone # ™ Sral 1 JL I \ jB i I ; I I c , ■' t * ” * Jim Iblluy, End, Carolina. Jim Mallory, Carolina’s outstanding pass-catching end in football and hard-hitting center-fielder and co-captain-elect in baseball, said today he had signed a professional contract with the Washington Senators and would not play collegiate football this Fall. Mallory, who with Paul Severin formed one of the best end combinations in Dixie last fall, will attend the university during the Fall and Winter quarters before reporting for Spring training with the Senators in Florida next March. He plans to return to the university in the Fall of 1941 to com plete his studies. The loss of Mallory will hurt the Tar Heels in a big way, but it will not mean that they will not have a good team Carolina can be counted on to go places this year and their schedule calls for a good tram with good playing. o— o o o New Golfers Each Week Each week finds one or two new golfers on the Roxboro golf course. Interest in the sport is growing rapidly and we believe that at least twenty people in Roxboro have taken up golf for the first time this year. If pepple here continue to play golf and new ones are added to the fold we will soon have a ‘golfing City”. 000 MALARIA Mnn in 7 dav* and relitvM Liquio - t«lit« - _ j Salve-Nose Drops »v»p*om (in* dsy Try «R«b-Mv*TisM<»* Wonderful Liniment Hcwe a I ■ jl I It’ll be “a picnic” anytime you UP ■III take your car driving this sum mer, when you have our expert _ servicing to depend on for • trouble-free riding.

August 3, 1940 Notice to the People of Roxboro: Since the whiskey question has arrived in our town again we just want to bring your minds back to the time when there were saloons here. There were about four in town and we were glad when the time came to vote them out. We thought we were going to get rid of whiskey but a sad mistake we made. Since then we have become wise to the fact that we made it worse. We didn’t have but three or four saloons in town then and now we have about fifteen, all along the highway where we can stop most anywhere and buy whiskey if we want it My good friends, we are opposed to whiskey but if the majority of the people in Person county want it, we think the voters ought to vote for an ABC store, and then let the government officers break up all the open places in our town. The people of Roxboro, don’t want whiskey and we don’t want our children to drink it, but we want it fixed up so they can not get it. The way they have it now our little boys and girls can get it if they have the money and if they haven’t got the money they will have it charged until the first of the month. My friends, what do you think about this? If you want it like this then vote against Square Design ' | bto R.o©x» i —r ß n" w • Pin.aj-ruooß.Pi.AK'’ <3tcoNt Floor. Plmi This house differs in general style from others in its price range, chiefly because of its square design. The triple window on front affords the living room plenty of light, needed here because of the ample size of the room. Upstairs are two bed rooms and a bath. This two-story home was built with the aid of a mortgage on the property of $5,400 insured by the Federal Housing Administration. Monthly payments of about s3l, exclu sive of taxes and hazard insurance, pay off this mortgage within 25 years. it and if you want it made better, then vote for an ABC store. People of Roxboro have a sin cere desire to do what is right and we think that we would be do ing Wrong if we would vote against an ABC store. The boys that want a drink real bad will pick up fruit jars and anything else they can find and trade it for whiskey. Friends, what do you think about the people in Danville and South Boston send ing letters to Roxboro asking them to do all they can to helo keep whiskey out of Roxboro? Do you know why? The answer is they are afraid it will hurt their trade. A lot of Person county money goes over there both for whiskey and for dry good.s. My friends, don’t let anyone talk to you and try to make you believe it would be worse if we ban an ABC store. The people of Roxboro ought to vote the way, our conscience leads us. If we want it so our boys and girls can let it anytime they want it then j vote against it. If we want it j fixed so they cannot get it, then ■ vote for an ABC store, and then j ; Mechanics | * • 4 ■ • t % An unbeatable combination first quality materials, 2 * t ;; and skilled, factory trained auto repair experts.

They downed the strong Western Auto team by a score of 7 to 5, ans split the bill on a two-game series with Somerset. The fast mill team took the first game of the series by 9-4 score, but the Rinks came back to win the sec ond by the score of 20 to 11. Several games have been sche duled for the coming week and fast contests are expected. let the government officers close all the open places in town and then Roxboro will be a better place to live. So when the time comes to vote let’s all go and vote the best way. People of East Roxboro, by Charlie I. Carver and Clifton Clayton Parade Plans Near Completion For Tobacco Festival i . . South Boston, Va. Active perparation for the National To bacco Festival “4-mile parade” to be held here September 6 was begun this week. The festival parade committee has announced plans to include over fifty floats, and about thirty drum and bugle corps organiza-' tions in the spectacular parade feature of the sixth annual to bacco celebration. Last year over 100,000 people lined the streets of South Boston to witness the hour long passing of elaborate decorat ed floats bedecked with comely princesses. The story of the success of the j festival parades is also the story of the rise of prominence in the, parade business of Watkins G.i Hunt of South Boston, who after directing the production of floats for the first celebration here ill 1935, continued in the business to gain a national reputation as the “International Parade Mas ter”. Mr. Hunt has returned to South Boston each summer to direct his “home town” parade. He is al ready opened up a float produc warehouse. In a large tobacco warehouse. In the course of the next thirty days about fifty mag nificent floats will be decorated. Fancy pier-mache stautuary, hor ses, lions, comic faces, and other fixtures have been assembled from the over 120,000 pounds of properties and equipment posses sed by the Hunt organization. They have managed parades in seventeen states and Mr. Hunt says that this fall after the fes tival they have engagements at Newport, R. 1., Atlanta, and Har risonburg, Va. o It is just as expensive to win a war as it is to lose it. The same applies when you argue with a customer. Enjoy Life .... with > | Sunrise vAU ill//. Bread 318^ Sunrise Breads are gaining more friends every day.
