is NEARER TO GOAL
Total Close to $4,000, With $5,S5e
Sought as Final for Work
During Coming Year

The Vance County Community Chest
goal had not yet been reached today,
but leaders in the undertaking were
confident that they would attain the
$3.50 mark set for the operation OF
the nine different causes that will
share the .community's generosity in
1888.
1t was said that the total was right
at $4,000. Pledges and cash continue
to be received, and workers will make
a further effort after the holidays to
obtain additional sums sufficient to
hit the mark that has been the aim of
the campaign.
Nearly half, or $4,000 of the total,
will go to the Salvation Army for its
work in the city and county. Various
other agencies working for underpri-
vileged children, the Boy Scouts, the
Girl Scouts and other causes will par
ticipate in the expenditures in the
coming year.

SELLS2,828 SETS
OF STATE LICENSES
2,341 of These FOR Autos,
1873 Trucks and 299
Trailera

Through Monday of this week 1928
5ets of new North Carolina State au-
omobile licenses for 1888 had been
Iold by w. c. Gates, manager of the
Carolina Motor Club branch office
here, which is handling the sales in
this territory, he announced today
OF the total, 2,341 sets of plates were
for automobiles, 1873 for trucks and
299 for trailers. Mondays total sales
were 2O4.
Mr.. Gates said today that his Of
fee would close at ] p. m. Friday for
over the Christmas holiday period, to
reopen at $3.50 a. m. Monday. During
the interim no license plates will be
sold. On Monday the final rush will
begin, when some 5000 or 5000 auto
mobile owners in this territory will
have to supply themselves with plates
if they are to operate their cars on
January l. State law requires that all
cars operated on and after January 1
must be equipped with 1888 license
.ags.
During 1887 before the new licenses
went on sale, slightly over 1000
plates were sold at the local office.
Most of that total was placed prior
or close to last January 1. With less
than 5000 plates sold to date, it
means there are some 1000 cars in
this section that are normally SUBJ
piled Ky the Henderson office that
have not yet been provided with new
tags Only five days remain in De-
cember after the Christmas day holi-
day. which would mean that more
han 1000 tags day would have to
De sold to supply all car owners on
time.

MRS. STEVENS BRINGS REPORT
 OF NEW STYLES
Femininity Is Keynote of Fashion for Sum-
 mer Time

Reporting that summer styles are to be even more feminine and frilly than Spring has suggested, Mrs. Ray Stevens has returned from a several weeks buying trip in the south, bringing back with her a store of new modes for the Jones' Stevens apparel shop
 The new thistle shade, Mrs. Stevens states, is to be outstand- ing summer dictate, and also pop ular will be navy and white. Per- Ihaps the most definite change this year is the predominance of short sleeves, with even street dresses emphasizing this new trend. Contrasting accessories are still 1 important, and highly colored prints will continue to be the mode throughout the summer season. Of course, she adds, white is again i a leading requirement, and sport frocks in all-white, and with con ltrasting accessories and trimmine will be included in the correct ward robe.
 "One of the most popular de- mands of the day is the use of ar ! itificial flowers" Mrs. Stevens em- iphasizes. Manufacturers are find ing it difficult to keep up with the increased requests for nose-gays land perhaps the most popular sin gle request is for artificial cher ries. Beaded purses, combining a variety of pastel shades, are to be used a great deal for the coming season" she states.
 Knit suits in bright summer shades will be again popular, and also of importance is the dress and-coat combination which Is SC well adapted to Juneau's chang able climate.
 | While in the south Mrs. Stevens was impressed with the preva- lence of lace, used both as trim ming on more tailored garments, and as the material for formal and afternoon gowns. In Portland, Se- attle, San Francisco and Los An geles, she reports, lace manufacture CTS gave 'lace balls" inviting the public to attend and, of course, ev- eryone was dressed in lace.
 Shipments of summer dresses, coats, hats, accessories and suits are now enroute to Jones-Stevens as result of the many orders which Mrs. Stevens placed while | in the south
