The week after Christmas brings staffing gaps and slow work for newspapers as many are away on holidays and the industry faces a lean period. Advertising stalls while readers and advertisers spend on Santa Claus and fireworks, prompting inventory time reflections and New Year wishes.
The piece foresees a hopeful 1935 for Roanoke Rapids with projects like a federal post office and municipal building, a new school addition, street widening, and more homes. It urges workers, merchants, and residents to avoid strikes and misgivings, promote truth, admit past mistakes, and start anew on a better path.
In 1935 a growing feeling among decent citizens across all stations aims to unite under a high purpose to rid the community of contending elements that have contaminated it and nearly ruined it over the past year. Without such spirit, more head-hanging than the Washington conditions reveal may follow.
