since the outbreak of the sino- Japanese war the purchasing agencies of many large department and chain stores have been avoiding the Near East as much as possible
 Despite rumors that local stores are well stocked with toys, jewelry, and other articles of Japanese man. ufacture, 1t has been indicated that most of the material on counter dis play is of American make. The manager of one store told the Den1- ocrat that since the concern looked for business in the United States, t was only fair that the company trade here. The same policy has been observed by directors of most chain stores.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-12-17

Jewelry
 It has also been noted that a slump has taken place in the sale of Japanese jewelry and 1t was re- ported that the sales have only been about 30 percent of their total for last year at this time. The same decline has been noted in the sale of almost every import with the exception of stockings and other cheaper grade silks.
 Japanese made products have been kept at Q further distance dur- ing the past several days than at any other point during the year which Is believed due to the sinking of the Panay in the Yangtese River.

Lack of Bathing
Beach Here Is
Criticized
A ''Sincere Citizen''
Thinks Youth Would
Be Greatly Benefited

Elizabeth City, with all its wa
terfront, hasn't decent place for
bathing, according to a letter re-
ceived by Mayor Jerome B. Flora
from, "A very sincere citizen" The
city's shortcomings in that respect
and a critical review of those
bathing places now in use, is con-
tained in the letter, which follows
in part.
What is wrong with the heads
of Elizabeth City? A town with
such a lovely waterfront, and not
decent place to go swimming.
Now, Chantilly. A lovely place.
But it is infested with snakes, and
is slowly rotting. And the people
in charge, their prices are absurd.
Next, Davis Bay. When you go
in you step cautiously over Is or
20 feet of trash washed up by the
winds of the past year. Anything
from pop bottles on. And when
you pass that hazard, you see
nothing but a wide eXpanse of
river, and not shouting thing to
jump off of. Why some one hav-
ing an eye for business doesn't
build this up, I can't see.
Now, if you have the time and
transportation, how about Tex
AGO Beach? You wade across the
river and when you get across are
surprised to find the water up to
your neck. And still nothing to
hop off of. Also, it's reputation is
none too savory.
I think it is a disgrace to Eliza
beth City. Visitors do not try to
hide their contempt, and brag
of their pools or nice swimming
holes. Why can't we have a pool
or at least a decent swimming
place? I'm deeply ashamed of the
fact that we do not boast of a
park or pool or anything. Has any
body here ever tried to sponsor
some sort of program to build a
nice swimming pool? 1t doesn't
have to be inside the city.
I'm sure that in anything you
tried to do for the betterment OF
wholesom recreation would be met
with whole-hearted cooperation
and enthusiasm.
This younger generation needs
something to amuse them. Nc
wonder they go riding off to no.
where and get drunk. There's
nothing else to do. No recreation
of any kind here but bowling ane
show going, that's all. Can yol
blame them for finding something
interesting to do?
