Thanksgiving thefts probed

Suffolk Police Dept. listed two petty thefts for Thanksgiving Day and otherwise a quiet, uneventful holiday with no accidents within the city.

Robert Brinkley of Route 1 Suffolk told police Thursday night that two hubcaps, valued at $22, were taken from his automobile while it was parked between 6:50 and 8:55 p.m. in the Municipal Parking Lot behind Woolworth's.

William Avery of 304 Roanoke Ave., told police that his home had been broken into and missing were a .12 gauge single-barrel shotgun, .16 gauge shotgun shells, flashlight batteries and an inexpensive pocket watch.

Let's shop Suffolk first this Christmas

Suffolk's Christmas shopping season is off to a flying start once again, after this week's Christmas parade and lighting of Downtown Suffolk Christmas decorations.

Stores are full of Christmas merchandise, and window displays are featuring the season's various items.

More is offered the Suffolk shopper than ever before.

This is easy to say, and has been said before.

The statement was always true, or it would not have been made and repeated.

But there is more truth to it this year than ever before, for there have been many improvements in Suffolk shopping facilities since last year.

And with the improvements have come more and better merchandise selections.

Some stores will begin remaining open evenings on Monday.

Others will follow as less than 25 shopping days left before Christmas narrow even more.

We hope Suffolk and Tri-County people will shop at home this Christmas.

The advantages are many.

Suffolk's small city, personal atmosphere offers much over the coldness of metropolitan areas.

Parking is more convenient and cheaper.

And money spent locally stays in circulation here.

If you are inclined to shop elsewhere, shop Suffolk first.

Take a look at local merchandise offerings.

We think you will be pleasantly surprised at what you find.

Comb replaces rollers

A tulip-shaped comb, called a Scoop-A-Doo, helps set dry hair.

This combs your hair into fat roller curls or smaller pincurls as you desire.

Pin, and spray with a hairspray.

Let dry and brush out.

This is especially good for women who hate sleeping at night with their hair in rollers.

Don't wear tight clothes

Neatness means much in an office or when trying to impress a potential date.

To maintain a crisp look, avoid wearing too tight clothes that tend to wrinkle when you sit, tight belts, waist cinchers and tight girdles.

These restricting garments make you feel uncomfortable and you usually show this in your face and posture.

Stockholders meeting set

Present directors of the Bank of Nansemond have been proposed for re-election to a one-year term when the third annual stockholders' meeting of the bank takes place on Dec. 11.

Present directors are Earl T. Eberwine, James L. Edwards, Jr., S. Bertram Hazelwood, Sr., Gordon W. Jones, William Wellington Jones, T. A. Saunders, Jr., and R. Moore Williams.

Proxy forms have been mailed to stockholders by the secretary, Kenneth L. Kirkland, with an accompanying letter from Gordon W. Jones, chairman of the board.
