J.—Well placed newspaper advertisments recently brought in buyers for 116 used cars valued at $36,159 during a two-day week-end sale held by Mallon Motors, local Pontiac deal ers. Advertising consisted of teas ers Thursday and Friday with a full-page ad Saturday listing the major number of cars in the sale with a description and price of each. However Mallon executives believe that the full-page ad brought in the buyers as it was the result of the accumulative ef fort of consistent advertising throughout, the year. Total cost of the advertising was $726 or $6.26 per car sold. Of the 116 cars sold during the two days, 72 involved trade ins, while 44 were clean deals. Nineteen of the trade-ins were junked. » More than half of Mallon’s used car sales are regularly made dur ing the evening. Approaching used car merchan dising from a buyers point of view rather than from the seller’s, Mallon has determined that the four and five year old cars sell in the largest volume and also represent the largest per cent of trade-ins on new Pontiacs. An order of the day from Adolf Hitler to the German army of the East announced early Sunday, Berlin time, that Germany was at war with Yugoslavia. The German short wave radio carried this proclamation from Adolf Hitler, NBC said: “Soldiers of the East front your hour has come.” In announcing that Germany was at war with Yugoslavia, the German radio said: “In the name of the fuehrer, Adolf Hitler, I am reading the following order of the day to the German army of the East. “Berlin, April 6, 1941. Soldiers of the Southeast front: Since ear ly this morning, the German peo ple are at war with the Belgrade government of intrigue. We shall only lay down arms when this band of ruffians has been defi nitely and most emphatically eli minated. And the last Briton has left his part of the European con tinent. And . . . that these mis led people realize that they must thank Britain for this situation, ■ they must thank England, the greatest warmonger of all time. < The German people can enter into this new struggle with the inner ! satisfaction that its leaders have done everything to bring about a peaceful settlement. “We pray to God that He may lead our soldiers on the path and bless them as hitherto.” Diplomatic relations between I Germany and Yugoslavia virtual ly ceased Saturday night and an imminent climax was indicated in screaming newspaper headlines which charged that “Yugoslavia Prepares for War.” Inspired newspaper editorials read Yugoslavia out of the list of states fit to have a place in the “new order of Europe,” and the full implications of the Yugoslav German crisis were plainly pre sented for the German public to digest. Men heap together the mistakes of their lives, and create a mon ster they call Destiny. —JOHN OLIVER Twin Oaks News CARL IRWIN Staff Correspondent Walter Wyatt, who is employed by Northwest Carolina utilities and stationed in West Point, Va., spent last week-end with his par ents, Mr. and Mrs. Johnson Wyatt.
