Fhe Zebulon Record MfHBF.I2 CABOI.ISA PBIMS Published Every Friday by THE RECORD PUBLISHING C©., Zebulon, N. C 7HEO. B. DAVIS EDITOR MRS. THKO. B. DAVIS.Aavo. Editor Entered as second-class mail matter June 26, 1&25, at the Postoffice at Zebulon, North Carolina, under the Act of March 3, 1878. SUBSCRIPTION PRICE: One Year $1.50 Six Months 80 Three Months -56 Editorial A Ret ray a) It is reported that Mr. Farley, Chair man of the National Democratic Com mittee, is reorganizing all the machin jrry of the Democratic party used to elect Mr. Rosevelt, to repeal the 18th Amendment. The liquor question is not and should not be a political question Even as a plank in the party platform it can not possibly be so paramount or parti u»n. that any party would even attempt to set its whole party ma chinery in operation to carry an elec tion for it. There are a great many honest con scientious citizens in the Democratic party who oppose the repeal ofthelßth Amendment. If Mr. Farley undertakes to use the party machinery to carry the election favoring repeal, he and those aiding and abetting him art traitors to the sacred rights of citizen ship. This political party has so eon s unded political and moral questions in the last election that we have al ready assumed our right to be an in dependent Democrat. Now if this last betrayal of the moral and religious interests of the nation conies about we -hall feel disgraced to have even “Democrat” tacked on. an hereaftei j we shall label ourselves just plain in-! dependent citizen. Where The Money Goes Uncle Sam is a dandy and if you have a charity job with him you must also be a dandy. 200,000 men and boys are assembled in training camps oi work camps who came from every walk of life. Many of them never saw a toilet kit, but with an old-fashioned razor shaved once a week. But Uunclc t Sam wants folks who are supposed to work for him to look good whethei they are any good or not. So comebody—the President, his sec retary, or some general—decided these temporary employees must have a safety razor, a toothbrush, a cake of soap and a comb. This little outfit is supplied to our soldier boys for about 75 cents each. But Major General De- Witt bought 200,000 of these toilet kits at $1.45 per. Just a little difference oi $130,000 for the benefit of a friend < r possibly a rake-off for some gov ernment employee. As we said sometime ago, we believe that when the books are balanced that it will be found that this relief work will have cost twice as much if not more than the men and boys actual!} get out of it. How \re The Mighty Fallen The head of the House of Morgan one of the greatest financial institu tions in America, now admits that he not only evaded paying thousands ol dollars income tax but gave ‘‘inside information to such notables as Mc- Adoo. Lindbergh. Ex-President Cool idge and many others by which they raked off thousands in profit. They bought stock for *2O that was worth $25. When crooks and stock gamblers head our biggest corporations, what can we expect? It appears that most of the honest folks died young. The most terrible thing that can happen to society or business is to lose faith in one's fellows. And the deplorable fait in all this robbery that has been going on in America is that the leaders in it are also prominent members of thi churches. If a man’s faith in a God of truth and his belief in a judgement to come will not guide and lead him to do right, then he is hopeless. We have too many of these unjust stew ards in public life. But what can little men do abe it it? Why should they try to do anything about it? When the people of a small eomumnity not only permit gambling to go on day and night without pro test, and many of the leading citizens ano church people participate in it why should they try to do anything about it or even care? Sometimes w« feel that, like ancient lsreal, not only has this whole nation robbed God, but wherever they had opportunity, they have robbed each other. Truly “there is something rotten in Gotham, Den mark and Zebulon." A Thoughtless World Outin Omaha, Neb., an attorney ol that city, wishing to test the citizens sense of civic responsibility, wagered n fellow attorney that he could secure a specified number of signature- to a :wtition to place on the primary ballot the name of any one his colleague might select for the position of city commissioner. I Naturally, the second attorney | wished to win the wager, and to insure 1 certain victor} he inserted the name \ of Guiseppe Zangara. Inside an hour ; the petition was hack with twice the number of signatures necessary t' i enter Zangara a- a candidate for com missioner. A local churchman is said to have j remarked to his S. S. class sometime ; ago that he could get a petition sign ed to send a man to hell withno trou- i hie at all. People sign, vote, do most ! 'anything in this busy unthinking ag< without a serious thought of the final consequence- of their act. The whole i world needs to stop for a while and j face realities seriously. Then like th* J prodigal son, perhaps some of us at j least would come to ourselves. To Our Readers Please -end i" at least one of V'n ■ ' best recipes for publication rex* week 1 We want ou v -pec ; a' cooking school' number to be as nearly a local pro-1 ouct'on as ;><--'ble, and shall give ! credit to each one who sends us di-1 re’tion* for pi.muring one of her fa v.-rite dishes. Inflation Not much can be said about infla-! tion and farm prices, for deliberate' inflation of the type voted to Presi dent Roosevelt by Congress is some- 1 thing new in history. We can say this: that if inflation, merely advances the general price level, without at the same time lift ing farm prices to the level of other prices, its benefit to agriculture will j be very limited and the rest of the 'community will be as badly off as ever But it is too soon to speak with any confidence on this subject. A more vi tal enterprise, the effort to settle the war debts and remove international j trade obstacles, is the order of busi-! ness for June. —Exchange. Farmers Should Plan j To Accept New Deal While regulations governing the workings of the new Farm Relief Act have not yet been made public, it is evident that cotton growers in North Carolina will be favorably affected by the operations of the bill and should be prepared to cooperate to the fullest .extent with Secretary of Agriculture j | Henry A. Wallace. This is the opinion of those exten- | sion workers at State College whe j ■ have been studying the Act in the last ! few days and are preparing to co-1 operate in carrying information ahout ; the Act to the people of the State. It | is doubtful, they say, that anything can be done with tobacco this season but it is fact that the cotton grower ! may be vastly benefitted. Only those growers who join in with the plan will be greatly helped, how lever. Those who do not join should be j preparing to form community and county associations of growers undei the guidance of the farm demontration agent and the State Administrator 'ln the case of North Carolina, this per son will likely he Dean I. 0. Schaub director of extension. While it is known that practically all of the cotton has been planted in North Carolina, or will have beer | planted by the time the regulations governing the Act have been announc ed. still it has been suggested that the j Government might make it attractive enough to growers for them to plow Up some of the cotton planted. Ir other words, say the extension work ers, the acreage to cotton must be re duced this year to where some two mil lion bales will be removed from tht market. This means that reductions of at least 25 per cent will be in order. (’otton harvested from the remain [ing 75 per cent of the acreage can be j sold under the domes|ic allotment j 4>laii. Hottest Weather Kansas reported on Monday abnor mal heat in the wheat belt, with tem peratures above 100 in many places Pratt, Kjfts., reported 111 degrees. The heat with othear factors such as drought, dust storms and winds havt reduced by three fourths the state’s expectation of the wheat crop as com pared with that of lOdl. No C. M. T. C. Announcement has been made that for reasons of economy no Citizens Military Training Camps will be held this year. Quite an; luibcr of boys from this section have in the past gone to Ft. Bragg for a month of training at no expense to themselves; but it will be imposible this year. THE ZEBULON RECORD, Zebulon, N. C., Friday, June 9, 1933 Holloway’s Hits By James H. Holloway , Latest report.- trom Washington in dicate a growing opposition in Con i gross to some features of the Presi dent’s legislative program. The Ameri can Legion lobby has been success ful in their efforts to retain some of their graft and if they are success Iful. the contemplated economies in the .expense of government will be dis appointing. The President will be for iced to apply great pressure on Con gress if he hopes to succeed in his an , nounced plan to reduce the expenses | of Government bv a billion dollars. The investigation of J. P. Morgan and Company continues to hold the I center of the state in public interest. The disclosures so far have been shock ing to the senses of the American peo ple and those to follow will probably be sensational. If the investigators ] succeed in throwing the light of pub- I lieity on methods of this powerful | organization, some good may follow i It is a .sorry spectacle, however, to sec j a former Democratic Presidential Can didate and a leading United States 'Senator, doing everything in his powei to hamper the investigation and con ceal facts pertinent to the investiga tion. If Davis and Carter Glass are true representatives of Jeffersonian Democracy, the followers of Jefferson | have a misconception of the meaning of Democracy. There is no place in the ! Democratic party for such traitors tr ' its fundamental priciples. Until such men are driven from power in the na | tion it will be impossible to translate the ideals of Jefferson into the law of the land. Such men by pretending to serve the Democratic party in th< livery of j. P. Morgan and Company, anti other great vested interests, have been responsible for the long string of defeats the party has sustained at the ballot box. The National Demo cratic party stands in as great need of a house cleaning as the Republican | party does. Mr. Roosevelt is in a po | sition to do this house cleaning and i unless he meets the issue courageously I they will eventually bring about his ’ defeat. ! Some of the rotten legislation pass i ed by the recent General Assembly is coming to light and when the full re cord is exposed the people of North C arolina will be astonished. The pub lication of the expense incurred by the powerful Lobby maintained by various interests ha- made a profound im pression on the people. A full am ' honest report of the vast sums ex- I pended by special interest will nevei j be known as the big money spent wil' ! be carefully camouflaged and none but 1 the dispensors and the beneficiaries will have any accurate knowlege of the j amount. They will nevei- tell. Lobby | ing for money should be made a capi tal crime and any man who will lend his influence to this dishonest and re prehensible practice should he ostracis ed pilitically for the baniance of hi* life. The attempt to repeal thb 18th Amendment to the Federal constitu tion will bring on a terrible and acri monious fight in North Carolina. Iht wets expect to win but the dry* wii contest every inch of the ground am they hope to be able to arouse the en thusiasm of the Church people by an aggressive campaign. The lack ol funds will greatly hamper the Dry and the appeal ofthe President foi , repeal will be a powerful factor in the final determination ofthe troublesome question. No one can predict the re j suit with any degree of certainty at | the Australian Ballot law will permit j people to vote secretly their honest convictions without danger of publi city. The young people will decide tht | issue. They have no knowlege of the conditions which have existed prior t< j the passage of the 18th Amendment and it will be imposible to arouse them to the danger of open saloons until they have seen for themselves j just what this will mean. Anothei factor which will have peculiar force and appeal to a large number of peo -1 ule is the question of revenue. Anyone who lived in the saloon age knows this will prove to be a dilusion as the tevenue derived from liquor license was also absorbed by the additiona 1 cost of law enforcement. Liquor nevei has been a source of revenue and nevei will be. The city of Raleigh is now in the throes of a municipal controversy over finance. An audit of the ( ity is being conducted and the town is greatly disturbed over the rumors of a large deficit and the charge that the sink ing funds have been juggled to covei 'the deficit. The Mayor has entered a heated denial of the rumors and has published a statement in the news papers in which he has agreed t* knock on the doors ofthe penitentiary for admittance without public trial it. the audit shows he has stolen a penny of the people’s money. No one ha- laitf Diptheria Toxoid To Be Given Here The Hake county Health Depart ment. under the supervision of Dr. A C. Bulla, Health Officer, will hold cli- I nic* for giving typhoid vaccine and | diptheria toxoid a> follows: i For White People At Wendell June 13. 20, 27 and July 4, from 2:00 to 3:00 p. m. At 7.ebulon Drug Store on the same .dates but at 3:15 to 4:00 p. m. For colored people On the .-arm dates but at 12:30 to 1:30 p. m. ii the Zebulon Wakefield School build ing. It is hoped parent* who have chil dren that have not received these treatments within the last three year will bring them. There is no cost at tached to the vaccination, and it may 'save the life of your child. Beginning June 12 and continuing for four weeks the Health Depart ment will give typhoid vaccine and ; diphtheria toxoid at several disper • sary points throughout the county assisted by some of the local physi cians at some of the larger places Last year there were approximately 10.000 persons inoculated against ty j phoid fever and 1.000 against diph \ theria. To prevent typhoid fever several important things are necessary. These are: pure, sate water -upply; some j approved type of sewage disposal; | screen* to keep out flies and other in ' sects; safe milk supply: and last but not least, three inoculations of typhoid vaccine every three years. If there : were no danger of contracting ty phoid fever all ofthese. with the ex ception of being vaccinated, can be c-on i sidered necessary and essential foi every home, from the standpoint of health and good environmental living ; conditions. But w hen they become nec essary to protect health and life, plus vaccine, then to my way of thinking they can not be neglected if we evei expect to eradicate typhoid fever. The ; question is often asked. “1- it neces sary for me to take the vaccine?” It you have not had it within three yeat's i whether there is a case in your com munity or not, mv answer would be | “Yes.” As to immunation against diphtheria i 1 can not too strongly urge that every | infant be inoculated before it reaches its first birthday. If the public would strictly comply wdth this suggestion diptheria would occur only in very rare instances. But so long a* twr thirds of the population of infant* and | childrenremain susceptible to the dis j ease, so long are we going to continue to have far too many cases oceuring— unnecessary cases.

It establishes a term of eight month.- It does away with ad valorem taxes for the support of schools, thus effec ing a savings in property of thirty five to forty five cents on the SIOC valuation. But for this, it is safe tc say that the Legislature would nevei have voted for an eight months’ term There are some things about the law that'we do not like, the main ob jection being that it makes the con Dere edetur: Letters Os A Self-Made Man By Fred V.

W. : hope that the next legislature will give more local control. Another ob jection to the new school law is that it does not provide enough revenue.

There is also rea son to fear that, as during the past two years, the number of teachers, will be inadequate and schools will be allowed to shiver because of lack of fuel, and in other such ways theii efficiency will be injured.
