GOSSIP The man who stops another on the highway and at the point of a gun robs him of his purse, is a gentleman and a prince of a fellow compared to the gossip, who behind another's back, robs him of his good name. It re- quires some measure of courage to step up to a man and face to face take his property away from him, but the lowest, most cowardly and craven creature in the world can scatter gos- sip about another and then wipe his or her lips and step back into decent society. A WELL ROUNDED PUBLIC SERVICE Dwight Morrow of New Senator Jersey who died suddenly a few days | ago, was one of the great men on the screen of public life today. But he moved across it quietly and so com- pletely without ostentation that one was hardly conscious of the role he was playing in present day affairs. One recognized his influential party status but now only his public service is ap- preciated and his value to the country understood. There is nothing particu- larly new, however, in those circum- stances for men who have served their country best have often hidden their own light under the bushel of modesty, and effacement. The number of first-rate men is not so large that Mr. Morrow's death can be other than a loss. DISCOURAGE THE PRACTICE When a citizenship is disloyal and does not purchase the same material, or workmanship, at the same price, or lower price, from the home manufac- turer, in competition with the manu- facturer or establishment, then sterner methods must be pursued if the home industry or the home establishment is te receive fair treatment. Unfair competition merchants and industries stamped out. We are visitors, but not at the expense of the Rome town merchants, manufacturer and farmer. Business has not been at the levels these past few months that any would against local should be like to have seen, but much business | is going to out-of-town sources that should stay right here in town. The sooner the proper authorities sive this subject thought and know just what should be done in the way of throwing a safeguard around home commerce, the better the business in town and area will be revival of KLEIN IS MORE HOPEFUL Julius Klein, assistant secretary of commerce, thinks business conditions show signs of improvement. He says fall buying will do much to stimulate business. His arguments sound rea- sonable Many merchants have that the extreme warm weather has interfered with seasonal buying, and their complaint is well based. But it is a fact that people connot refrain from buying forever. Now that cooler weather has arrived, and the autumnal season is advancing, there is sure to be more buying, all of which will prove to be a stimulant to business. Day by day there are signs of im- provement. In fact, while progress may seem slow, viewed from day to day, there is progress in many ways, and this can be realized as one looks back over a longer period. We hear much about getting back to normal conditions, but there are few, indeed if any, persons who know ex- actly what normal conditions will be. If any one has the idea it will be a time of abnormally high prices in all lines, he is likely to be mistaken. That would not be a normal condition. Business, to be healthful, must not be above normal nor below normal. Too many people, when referring to normal conditions, mean times of high prices for what they have to sell and low prices for what they have to buy. This condition will not exist.

P. P. & L. RURAL DEMONSTRATION TRUCK AT COMMUNITY EXHIBIT EGG LAYING CONTEST POSTPONED TO NOV. 1 The opening of the First Official Pennsylvania Egg Laying Contest scheduled for October 1, has been postponed until November 1, accord- ing to an announcement from the Pennsylvania Department of Agricul- ture. This decision was made Satur- day, October 26, after a conference with the executive committee of the Pennsylvania Poultrymen’s Association. The postponement was deemed ad- visable because the buildings and equipment, located near the Pennsyl- vania Farm Show Building, Harris- burg, were not sufficiently completed to house the birds properly. In mak- ing the announcement, officials pointed out that a number of similar contests vember 1. The competition will end September 23, 1932, as originally scheduled. The buildings will contain the very latest facilities and will house between 90 and 100 pens of 13 birds each. More than 60 applications for entry had been received up to October 26. Applica- tions will be accepted until the latter part of October, or as long as pens are available.

You'll call Pontiac the happy medium . . . quality you won't do without, at a cost you can easily pay* It isn’t difficult to learn what most people want in a motor car. We all want pretty much the same fine qualities —and we want them at a price which makes the purchase of the car a geod investment. You will find this combination in the Pontiac — that fine General Motors car. Thus, if it’s a damp day when you first drive a Pontiac you will notice how snug and dry it is within the body. the same with heat, cold and traffic noise—because Pontiac’s fine Fisher bodies are tightly insulated for your comfort and protection. Appreciating will note also the absence of road shocks and vibration. This is explained by four hydraulic shock absorbers and by rubber cushioning at 43 points in the And when you first step inside the car you will be impressed — genuine, long-wearing mohair or whipcord upholstery in the closed cars; fine leathers in open models. Even though you feel that most cars have satis- factory motors, you will be surprised at the extra smoothness with which Pontiac’s engine does its work. We have not forgotten that a car’s first job is to get you somewhere, pleasantly. As you drive you will admire the quick pick-up and power of the big, easy-working motor. Immediately it will be clear to you why we are so proud of that engine. Whatever you do—braking, clutching, swinging around corners—you will find you really enjoy driving this Pontiac. Good looks? Modern smartness? We can leave the proof to remarks you will hear and the approving glances you will see as you drive about town or take friends to ride. (Bodies by Fisher.) the deep, form-fitting seats, you Possibly we are a little prejudiced — yet many Pontiac owners praise this car more than we would dare to. The values they have discovered will be clear to you once you have driven the Pontiac. Why not do that—soon!
