TO SUBSCRIBERS
Outside Of Alleghany County
Effective with this issue the yearly subscription rates of The Alleghany
Times, to subscribers outside of Alleghany County, are increased. This
increase has been made necessary due to rising costs of production. The
publisher is faced, not only with increased costs of materials and labor,
but also with social security and unemployment taxes, and feels that sub
scribers outside of Alleghany County will not consider the increase in
subscription rates unjustifiable.
Present subscribers in the territories where the increases are effec
tive may renew their subscriptions for one year (not longer) at the old
rate until February 28 next. To all who take advantage of this concession
the increase in price will not apply for at least a year. New subscribers
must remit at the new rates or they will be given credit only for the length
of time their remittances pay for. ' .

Imagine their embarrassment
when they go out with young
men!
The poor girls who play in the
brass section of Phil Spitalny’s
orchestra are doomed, to forsake
the pleasure of kissing. It’s not
that Spitalny forbids the prac
tice, but the fact that the girls
have found out that kissing is
bad for their musical careers.
Each girl whose instrument is
in the brass and reed family
must take special precautions to
prevent her tender lips from cha
fing, bruising or swelling. Since
the fair sex is not naturally
adapted to playing these instru
ments, the young lkdies fear that
any extra contact will render
them unable to "lip” their trom
bones comets and 'saxophones.
To date none of them are mar
The moral of this story is—
never date a girl in the brass
