PERSON COUNTY TIMES ROXBORO. N. C. GIRLS HI-Y MEETING HELD LAST WEEK First meeting of the Roxboro Senior girls’ Hi-Y was held at the home of Miss Arline Newell, the president of the club, last week. This meeting was devoted chief ly to business, but a short de votional was given by Miss Mary Lou Dixon and Miss Anita Kir by. A project for the coming year was discussed, but before deciding definitely, a committee was appointed to talk with Mrs. T. C. Wagstaff. It was also de cided that the Hi-Y girls would attend church in a body once a month. They will attend the Episcopal church on September 29.

Present were about fifty Sophomore students and their guests, who enjoyed the affair very much. The chaperones for this occa sion were Mr. and Mrs. Tilley and Mr. and Mrs. Rynd. o FIRE DRILL AT SCHOOL At 10:16 on Thursday morning, September 26, all classes at Rox boro high school were interrupted by a fire drill.

Young, famed as the star of the “Topper” pictures, plays the role of a Bostonian who chose to become a “black sheep” rather than be crushed by the tradition of a Back Bay family. Nancy Kel ly is his daughter, a pretty girl faced by the same romantic quandary her father had been in twenty years before. Robert Cummings appears as the young man of her life. Hugh Herbert fills a typical Herbert role, and plays a var iety of characters ranging from a valet to a pest exterminator. Albert S. Rogell directed “Pri vate Affairs” from a screenplay by Charles Grayson, Leonard Spigelgass and Peter Milne. The original story was by Walter Green. chtcl “ COD MALARIA Vll days WWW , COLDS Liquid - Tablets - Salve-Nose Drops symptom* first day Try «Rub-Mv-Tisa»-a Wundarful Liniment kSHELU Change To SHELL STOP AT YOUR SHELL STATION FOR ECONOMICAL SERVICE Humphries Oil Co * Small Homes Need Flexible Design No dwelling can malic a saiisfactdry home which provides merely for the mechanics of living, according to Federal Housing Administration officials. In any house, no matter how small, there must exist a sense of comfort in its appointments and a feeling of charm in its appearance and set ting. Standards of design must make for an attractive interior as well as exterior. While it may be necessary to reduce the small home to a minimum in it can nevertheless be a well-proportioned home with its openings and arrangements treated with imagination and skill. The drawing here shows the interior of a small home which falls within the $3,000-$3,500 price range. While not offered as a perfect model, it does illustrate what careful planning and good design can do to make a home more livable. In each room the furniture fits snugly into an attractive ar rangement, but because of the flexibility of the plan still more arrangements may be made without disturbing the orderliness of the house. IJoth bedrooms have large closets, which home owner surveys indicate is not a universal distinc tion. Corner windows in the bedrooms give more wall space for furniture arrangement, yet do not curtail the light and ventilation. The home is compact and small, but few if any of the essentials for gracious living have been omitted. Person Farm Agency Notes By H. K.

Austrian winter peas seeded on corn land this fall will not only prevent soil erosion this SUNDAY, SEPT. 29, 1940 winter, but will provide a crop to be turned under in the spring that will increase the yield of corn next year. Try it. Sow im mediately—3o lbs. per acre—in vcullated. ORDER GROUND LIMESTONE • Person county farmers have or dered 30 carloads of limestone this year under Grant of Aid without materially affecting their soil-building payments. There are plenty of farmers who are not earning their soil-build ing payments enough to justify ordering 100 additional loads. Farmers Who have not earned all their units should order lime stone before October 10. The only cost will be hauling out the lime and spreading it on the land. Limestone is especially good on wheat land that is to be seeded to lespedeza or clover next spring. It is also good on lesped eza that was seeded last spring and will re-seed itself in the spring of 1941. Limestone is good on pastures, grasses and all clo vers. Whether you have earned your units or not, you can get lime stone under grant of aid. This is your chance to get limestone without much cash. Ask at the Farm Agent's office about lime stone under Grant of Aid. Time is out for placing orders for the 1940 crop year about October 10. • Crumpled Fender Smashed Wheel —one days damage is more costly * tKan 36S4ays’ insurance with THOMPSON INSURANCE AGENCY Roxboro, N.
