THIS, IHAI
111 II OTHER
By MBS. THEO. B. DAVIS
Some of the experts are telling us
that the depression is caused by fear.
It certainly causes fear It must be
what is call'd a vicious circle. I am re
minded of a tale my brother told me
years ago. He said that one day he
ua> driving down a country road when
he came in sight of an old Negro man
standing holding the handles of a
plow to which was hitched a gaunt old
hoi sc. Instead of pulling, the horse
was kicking slowly, methodically
spiritlessly, but constantly. My broth
er drew rein and asked the trouble
“You see, boss, it's jes like dis; ev y
time de gear tickle him dar, he. kick;
an’ ev’y time lie kick, dat make de
gear tickle him dar.” At last sight ol
them the old man was still waiting
and the old horse still kicking. I ve
never known the end of the story, but
it might give some Inundation for an
opinion on the present situation.
And do you remember the story oi
the pYeaoher who explained to his con
gregation that “status quo is "Latin
fe>- de fix we’s in?”
Seeing that expression so frequent
ly of late makes me believe the
picacher was exactly right.
An exchange states that "Recently
yj r - quilted two
quilts in one afternoon. She served
her friends white cake and poaches.
It must have been a busy attc*ino*>n
for the lady. Maybe, however, the
friends help'd her; but the paper did
not say so.
Quilting parties seem to be coming
back in style; and they deserve to be
fashionable. They are really lots ot
tun. giv4 a good excuse for fi imids to
get together, and keep the quilting
frames from taking up space as long
as if one had to do all of the quilt.
Quilting is not the fine art it used
to he; but perhaps the revival ot quilt
ing parties may cause us to take as
much pride in our work as our grand
mothers did.
No Wakefield picnic seems to me
quite romnlete without a piece of Mrs
Ballard Ferrell's custard pie. She al
ways takes them to any outdoor meal
that she attends, and I always enjoy
them- unless Donald Stallings gets to
the plate too long ahead ot me.
1 asked for her recipe to give you
Here it is: For each pie allow two
eggs, two-thirds cup of sugar and :
piece of butter a little larger than ar
t „o. Beat the eggs without separat
ing. add the sugar and beat again
Melt the butter and add it, beating
well. Pour the mixture into a crust
that is unbaked and cook it in an oven
that is at the temperature used lm
bi-euit. Mrs. F; nail uses no flavoring
If you prefer it, try nutmeg or mace.
Hov many of you have ever felt a
real earthquake? It must be among
the most terrifying of all experiences
When the < harleston earthquake came
1 was a very small girl and slept
peacefully through the shocks that
were felt as far north as my home
And for davs 1 cried whenever it was
discussed in my hearing. It seemed t
me cruel that 1 had not been awaken
ed to get scared with the rest. Al>
knowledge of temblofes is confined t<
one occasion when the sewing-machine
danced out towards the middle of th.
floor, and to another time when I was
walking: along: an<i thought 1 ha l unn
c<l dizzy when the ground b gan t<
quiver. Both times it va~ all over be
fore 1 knew an earthquake had come
But. I do not yearn for greater know
ledge along that line.
Arc you among the number who d<>
not caie for jigsaw puzzles? H so

Governor Favors
General Sales Tax
' In his addrtfss before a joint moet
j ing of the Senate and House on Mon-
I day night, Gov. Ehringhaus advocated
ja sales tax to provide funds for at
! least a six-months’ school. To balance
(the budget it will be necessary to find
. 815.500,000, for public schools and
■! other appropriations as recommunded
; i by the Committee.
■ Governor Ehiinghaus spoke .”5 min
.jut* -. He summarized bis message as
• j follows:
• i “One thing more and lam through
i If a sales tax i> levied, it should be
i levied with the distinct understanding
i that it is an emergency measure
i adopted for the period of the eimrg-
I oncy, to save the State’s credit and
keep going it’s essential activities. 1
bell ve it should he ear-marked foi
- schools, as our highway revenue is
ear-marked for road purposes, and
with this understanding I have n<
; fears of its ready and cheerful ac
- ceptance by our people. Briefly, my
f proposals are these:
' “i—Preserve the credit of the State
• by balancing the budget, even at th*
t cost of a sales tax, and make sure pro
i vision to keep in balance or prevent an
im-btlance, by making all appropria
tions subject to budget cuts.
[ “2 Preserve the school opportunity
-jin economy by the provision of a lump
!! sum. with a Board to administer it, as
hereinbefore pointed out.
Preserve tlie homes of our citi
. zens from the foreclosures which pres
ent ad valorem taxes threaten and re
due the tax load which now weighs
. I heavily upon them by abolishing spec
’ i ial levies for support of extender
i S term.
I "4 -Preserve the highways and out
gieat investment therein from the
\ I waste and losses which inudc(iu<it(
j maintenance provision would certainly
! entail.
“5 Preseive our institutions ana
departments from the destructior
’j which too heavy curtailment threatens
' j to the end that they may continue to
• ! serve our citizenship and prepan
1 i the youth ot oil. land for better stir
' I vice to the State.”

Loses His Barns
! I
Mr. W. B. Murray's crib caught fir*
last Thursday night and was burned
Mr. and Mrs. Murray had just retired
when the fire started. The flames were
first discovered by neighbors wh<
rushed to the scene and found all ot
the family asleep. Besides the crib and
ft out 100 feet of shelter, there wen
about 10 or 12 barrels of corn, 200
bundles of fodder, 10 chairs, 2 tables
1 bushels of potatoes, practically all
of his fanning utensils, a buggy and
riding saddle burned. The mule was
turned out just as the flames reached
the stalls. The hog pen that was back
of the stalls was also burned but th*
hogs were turned out before any dam
age was done to them.
By the help of the neighbors, hi
stno'ke house and one other small out
building were saved. Many strong ef
forts were made to quench the de
structive flames but were unsuccess
tul.
The total damage is estimated at
approximately #>275. Mr. Murray has
the sympathy of the community in lii
loss.
MR SH VM BI RGER OPER ATED ON
M. E. Shamburger. of Richmond
• has been i i Zebulon for a few days
I While here he had Dr. Barbee remove
his tonsils. In 30 minutes after th*
operation, Mr. Shamburger was out
on the streets. This quick action am
satisfactory- surgical feat was accom
plished by the use of a new machine
or instrument called the Diathermy. It
is a wonderful Instrument and does
•its work almost painlessly. It also re
moves cancers and skin troubles.
Banking Situation
The financial situation is rapidly re
adjusting itself as banks reopen
throughout the country.
The North Carolina banks are re
opening just as rapidly as Mr. Hood
can com pie tu investigations of theii
condition and approve of their open
ing for business. It is believed that
Zebulon and its environs will be pro
vided with banking facilities in a very
• short time.
