Letters to The Editor Dear Editor: ' Life is tough enough up here in the Yankee country and now we are faced with the threat of being de prived of that weekly visit with you through the medium of The Zebulon Record. Enclosed is our check to fore stall such drastic action for the next three years, anyway. My Scotch blood would never rest in my veins if such a bargain were passed up. Our best regards are extended to the Record staff and other friends in Zebulon. Keep the Record coming. With fond memories, , Carlton T. Mitchell Ridgefield Park, New Jersey • Dear Editor: Having received notice of the advance price of your paper and also thinking back through the past months just how much it has proved to be a “Balm of Gilead” for the other half, I am enclosing a check for $7.50 to cover cost for 48 months. Since The Zebulon Record seems to calm her nerves for quite some time on arrival, really, I think it’s just about the best remedy in town. Respectfully, J. S. Buffaloe P. O. Box 192, Zebulon 1
