Daniel Webster was once asked what was the most serious question that ever occupied his mind. He re plied: “My solemn accountability to God.” Washington had a similar feel ing when he said: “I have always la bored to keep alive within me that little spark of celestial fire called conscience.” Webster and Washington, like so many other great Americans, found aid and inspiration in attending Church regularly. Wherever they happened to be, they found a Church and worshipped. Theodore Roosevelt, William H .Taft, Woodrow Wilson, Calvin Coolidge, and other strong men of later years have, likewise attended and supported the Church, deriving peace, power and happiness from its services. In celebrating Washington’s birth day year by year our generation may well keep in mind the example of reg ular Church attendance set us by our first President and many of our other eminent statesmen. “Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord.”—Du plex. We have found at least one com mendable thing about the soviet rule in Russia: They have jailed seven poets who wrote free verse. A noted speaker is quoted as say ing that in the present situation “every community must get behind itself” and work its own way out of| the slough of depression. That may be fine advice, but it seems to us it would take contortionists to follow it. And here’s a quotation from a story in The Saturday Evening Post: “Mabel started to put her spoon into the alleged soup, then changed her mind and wiped it hard on a napkin.’ We know of some minds that would be improved by scrubbing as well as by being wiped on a napkin. 1 An exchange tells of a movement 1 to wear shirts that proclaim the be- ' liefs of the wearer. He mentions the black shirts worn by the Fasci.-ti, the red ones of the soviets, and the green ones proposed for those op- 1 posed to war, and then declares inj favor of a red, white and blu" one) for himself. We suppose that this] movement could be extended in scope j and meaning. A shirt with a yellow j stripe might denote cowardice, a blue one despondency, while a dirty <ne might mean its wearer was boycot ting the laundries. The idea has possibilities. YOUR DOCTOR AND YOUR PASTOR In a groat measure the doctors and the preachers are at the mrcy of th< people at all times, but especialy at times like the present. Probably no, two professions are now feeling the depressions more than they. Though a doctor may charge the usual fee, yet his being a profession wholly dependent on the call of the public, he dare not proceed legally to collect for such services. In sickness there is a sor of unwritten law that the doctor must go day or night, far' or near, winter or summer, pay or no I pay, or suffer the severest criticism' and censure along with the loss of] prospective patients. There may be legal recourse, but he dare not take it. j The preacher faces even a worse] situation. He has no voice in the* fixing of his salary. Then when hard times come and money is scarce, peo ple usually begin retrenching first b> neglecting their church obligations. The preacher has no recourse what ever, to collect on the promises of his members. Along with these individuals, hos pitals face very much the same diffi culties. They are considered at least semi-charitable institutions, and peo ple expect free service or extended credit. We have been told that Rex j hospital is almost facing bankruptcy: because of its failure to collect and the urgent calls for charity service I during the present financial crisis, i Taxes must be paid, or the county and .state will proceed to force col lection.. The merchant usually takes a lien on the crop, or a mortgage oni other property. Even if he does not, last year’s bill must be paid before this year’s can begin. The carpenter, the plumber, or other tradesmen may take a laborer’s lien to secure his wa ges. The lawyer usually sees to it that he gets his fee out of the dam age suit, or provision be made for the settlement of his fee even before the settlement of the action in the courts. And so on down the line we go till we come to the two profes sions that are the closest to human ned where they are compelled to wait at the foot for such public benefac tions as they may receive. However, ! we are fully cognizant of the fact that every profession is feeling keen ■ ly the effects of the times, and we do not mean to intimat< that these two .(professional classes stand alone* in I j this mattr. i Being one of „hese professions, we make no plea for ourselves. But there i are men good, honest, faithful men, in medicine and the ministry who are needing the fruits of their service to pay their honest debts and support their families. They are criticised or failing to meet their obliga tions. Yet their every obligation could be discharged if they had only received a reasonable part of that which they nave earned. Going into the homes of the people, the ymust wear better clothes than th avetage man, whether they can afford it or not. Quick calls come to them for sickness or funerals, so they must keep a car to serve them in such em ergencies. The doctor or minister seriously, should have first consider ation to whom they minister. is a plea for your doctor and pastor, the two men who walk nearest to the footprints of the great Healer and Teacher. ■ RUM AND ROOSEVELT l Governor Roosevelt who is actively out for the presidency said in an ad dress in New York the other day that if we put the liquor business under state control that would give a dou ble benefit—it would give a more sat isfactory solution of the prohibitoin question and provide in these times of depression a much needed revenue I for the state. Just let the governor keep this sort of argument up and if he is nominat ed he will not only go down in defeat but will carry his party with him. The majority of the people especially in the South, believe mor> in morality and other virtues than ihey do in' any political candidate o r party. . I SCHOOLS ON SATURDAYS j Danville, Va.—Divisional Superin tendent Fletcher B. Wats m has given his consent to the conduct of Satur day classes in the county public schools owing to the difficult situa tion confronting the teacners. Recently the county school board asked the teact ers to give 15 days’ time without compensate n owing to lack of funds. 1 The teachers are aski ig that Sat • urday be employed as school day 'so that all idle time may be elimi ! nated, reducing their boarding ex penses on the scene of their teach ing activity. Greensboro Daily News. i MURRAY FOR PRESIDENT We are a great admirer of govern jor Murray of Oklahoma for his old fashioned ways and rugged honesty. IWe believe in many ways he is su- Iperior presidential timber to the last Democratic nominee or the prospect ive one, but we doubt very much his nomination. He may. however, be able to get on as a running mate to the nominee. Guinea Eggs and New Potatoes. Mr. Collie Arnold reports that he has new potatoes nearly as large as i hen eggs. They grew in his base ,ment, and he already had enough for one meal from the vine. He also found i a guinea nest containing twenty * three eggs—and a guinea on the inest. Now, if he can find a few I onions, he can have a big bow! of potato salad. j Taylorsville, Feb. 24.—Garfield j Jennings ha been convicted of man slaughter in connection with the death of Ray Perdue, football coach, who died after being struck a single blow by Traylor during a football game last fall. Chapel Hill. Feb. 24.—Five boxers from University of North Caro lina have left for Charlottesville and which opens Thursday. The Tar the Southern Boxing Tournament.

I Old Orchard, Me. —N. J. Bi'owne Muldowney have left for Buenos Aires in an attempt to break the long distance record flight. They are trav leling in “The Lon<* Star” and the i trip is to cover 6000 miles, as plan ned. New York. -On Washington's birth day, eleven years ago was begun the fust continuous night and day air mail flight across the continent. This flight began in San Francisco. The trail bags were passed from pilot to pilot and 33 hours and 26 minutes later were landed in New York. There are now 675 pilots flying mail and the mail crosses the continent in 28 hours. Lakehurst, N. J'.—A committee of congressmen, gathered to watch a test flight of the airship, Akron, and expecting to see it prove its airworth iness, with them aboard, were amaz ed to see it partially wrecked instead.

The former, re ported from near Franklin, had rio color; the latter, seen last Saturday night near Weaverville, had all the colors. The Americna Legion Oratorical Contest for N. C. closed Monday night. The student making first place was Ezra E. Griffin, Jr., of Golds boro college, while the first honor for high school students went to Wil liam 11. Richardson, a junior in Hugh Morson High School, Raleigh. The subject of the oratorical con test this year was “George Washing ton”, in honor of the bi-centennial anniversary of his birth. North Carolina claims to have been the first state and New Bern the first town in the state to celebrate the birthday of George Washington. "This celebration was held on Feb. 22, 1799. “The Immortal Washington" was praised and toasts were drunk in his honor. UNRELATED MEN STRANGELY ALIKE Rutherfordton.—Two men of the same age, occupation and church de nomination died in the same county on the same day and were buried at the same hour, a careful checkup re vealed today. The men were not related and did not know each other. They were buried in different parts of Ruther ford county. Each was named William Thomas Blanton. They died February 5 and were buried the next day, one at Oak Grove and the other at Kistler’s Cha pel. 12 miles apart. Each man was a farmer and a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church. One lived near Ellenboro and the other near Kistler’s Chapel. The Kistler’s Chapel Blanton differ ed in one respect from the other man of his name. He had constructed with his own hands a casket four or five months before his death, saying he could not live and that he “want ed to be ready.” One man is survived by his widow* and six children; the other left only his widow.

Wood, president of Sears, Roebuck and Com pany, predicts the southeast will de velop in ten years into the greatest industrial center of the United States. Addressing a meeting of Georgia manufacturers, he declared “the South has more young people under the age of 20 than either the North or West,, and it is this advantage of youthful population that in the next ten years will make it the greatest industrial section of the nation.” General Wood added the southeast has every possible natural advantage in the way of facilities, minerals, timber and other resources. “This section has the advantage of being near deep water, and has the raw ma terials, minerals, timber and cheap power that make manufacturing pos sible.

FooH For Week The Government’s council on Un employment and relief, with the spe cial help of Mrs. Mclnness, county home demonstrator, has worked out a list of necessities in groceries for a week. This should bu of interest and srvice to all who have to do with relief work, since it gives a defi nite idea of the smallest amount of food that will maintain strength. It is also suggested that in many cases it. may be better not to give out a week’s supply at one time, but only enough for a few days; because it is regrettably true that being a charity case does not always mean that one is not wasteful. The list following is for a family of three children and two adults. Commeal, flour, oatmeal, grits or rice, to total 16 lbs. Fat meat, 3 lbs. Molasses or preserves and sugar, 4 pints, or 2 pints and 2 lbs. sugar. Dried peas or beans, 3 lbs. The above foods are those mainly furnished by charitable units. The foods given below are supplementary and should be added to the ones al ready listed. Milk, 7 quarts or 10 small cans. Colletrds, turnip greens, cabbage, turnips, or other vegetables, 4 lbs. Potatoes, sweet or Irish 1 pk. Canned tomatoes, 4 small cans. Pork, beef, salmon or cheese, 2 lbs. or 1 1-2 doz. eggs. Soap is a necessity and coffee may! be added if possible. A Letter From Mary To Her Ma Zebulon, N. C., Feb. 24, 1932. Dear Ma, I went to Zebulon last Saturday and went to the Sup ply Store to look at the oil stoves. I’ve been wanting- one a long time. Well, they’ve got some of the prettiest ones you ever saw. I liked the Nesco best. The one I want has an oven built in almost like an electric stove. It is enamel led and can be washed off with a cloth. If I can get the oil stove I could help Bob more in the crop, for I could cook breakfast on the Nesco by the time our old wood stove would heat. Bob thinks we ought to burn wood be cause we have it; but we could sell a few cords of wood and buy enough oil to cook with all summer. And the oil wouldn’t have to be split up when Bob was so tired and just out of the field. I know I’d not get half so hot can ning, if I had the Nesco to use. I’m going to keep on talk ing about it, and if I can persuade Bob, we’ll certainly have that new 4-burner Nesco by the time you come to Fee us —and you won’t get hot sitting in the kitchen to Ik while I cook. P. S. I ask Mr. Percy Lewis at the Zebulon Supply Store to put a picture in this week’s Record, and some !i; u- *-lling other women about the stove. Here it is: Flew DUBL’HOT Burner r 1 Quicker | Bakinq !

Kerosene Stoves Range* FOR SALE BY ZEBULON SUPPLY COMPANY At present prices in our town the food listed above for a family of fiva for a week would cost less than three , dollars, allowing lor half of the breadstuff to be flour and half corn meal, and also allowing for a quart of molasses and 2 lbs. sugar, 2 cakes of soap. (The molasses costs more than sugar, but is more valuable in the diet than all sugar would be.) FARPSBOUO EVENTS Mr. and Mrs. ,i'. V.
