VOLUME IX ! THIS. THAT ! AND THE OMR By MRS. THFO. B. DAVIS Readers have asked for the for mula for a dusting powder that I handed round quite extensively when my children were small. I' contains zinc oxide, boric acid and corn starch. 1 am sorry not to be able to give you the exact propor tions since I lost the formula in. our fire, but Mr. Daniel will know. He filled that prescription so many times and for so many people when we lived here the first time that he got to calling me “Dr. Davis,’’ be cause I was the one who advised using the powder. It is inexpensive —or used to be—and is splendid for prickly heat, some forms of eczema, chafing, etc. By this time most of the canning is done, except for pears, peppers and pickles. Judged merely as fruit, canned pears are not at all excit ing: but they are so adaptable that we ought to value them highly. They may be used in salads or des serts, or may have their syrup (trained off —and saved —and hot spicerf vinegar poured over them to make delicious pickle. Use the sir up from the canned pears to make gelatine orr a sauce for pudding. Try baking pears with brown sugar and a few cloves or a little cinnamon and water enough to start them cookig. When they are i tender pack them in jars and seal! as you would canned pears. You * v.iU have something fine to eat with gingerbread next winter. And pear honey is one of the most delicious sweets the pantry shelf can hold. One other word: When you make pear preserves, set it off the stove as soon as the pieces of fruit are thoroughly tender. Let it stand un til cold, preferably overnight. Take out the fruit and boil the sirup rap idly until it is as thick as you want it; then put the fruit back into the kettle with the sirup and let it all t come to a boil again. Remove from # the heat ond put it into jars, andj • you will have a light-colored, ten r der product, far superior to that k which results from boiling the fruit I until it is hard and dark. | It seems to me that people of middle age are divided into three groups. One group spends much time trying to avert the appear ance of age and its effects; anoth er is represented by those who get mto print with articles on the old | boys doing the best work, the fact j ( ?) that life really begins at forty, or the assertion that a woman’s best years are those between fifty ai'd seventy. The third group is to ’ busy to think about age or to cate much, if they did think of it. * Going around whispering because / nf laryngitis for the past week, I ■ could not help noticing how much f quieter thing- were about the, > house.

ZEBULON, NORTH CAROLINA, SEPTEMBER 22, 1933. A Young Womans View of the 18th Amendment B> MRS. M. L. DEATOJU RALEIGH. N. C. (The following address was delivered last Sunday morning at the Sunday School hour in the Wakefield Baptist church by Mrs. Deaton. Some people say that the young or generation doesn't want prohibition and will give a big majority against the 18th Amendment in the election next November. We hope our readers will read this address carefully and consider the fine arguments made against repeal by this young woman. The Editor.) I was asked to come here this morning in the place of one of the members of the Junior Phalanx-junior organization allied with the United Dry Forces evt North Caro Ima. In a very brief way I want to tell you why I shall vote against the repeal of t le Eighteenth Amendment to our Constitution on next November 7. Do not think that I do not realize that I am not on the popular side of the prohibi tion question. However, there are many people, and I am one, who agree with the Honorable Mr. Clyde Hoey in that we do not care about the popularity of the issue; we r.r e more concerned over “the greatest good for the largest number of people.” May I tell you several reasons why the odds are against those who want the Eigh teenth Amendment kept legal? First, there is a new generation of voters who do not remember the evils of the saloon and who do not take seriously the description of sued evils given by our elders who do remember them and cannot forget them. Second, at t ii> time following the depression, people everywhere are emotionally upset and rest k‘ss ar.d are being torn away from their former beliefs by a strong tide of wet propa ganda financed by those favoring repeal for their own profits. Third, there is an un fortunate association of repeal with national recovery. We are being told that prosperity will return with the repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment. It is my belief that a ina jority of people in our state would not like to see the return of normal conditions if we have to sacrifice the Eighteenth Amendment. Do you not believe that we can have a return of normal conditions without repealing the law against our most dangerotis vee? We have -een that the taxes on beer in our state have not come near the figure estimated by those instrumental in passing a beer law. During the past several years of depression other countries which did not have a national prohibition law have not prospered more greatly than the United States; indeed, they have suffered more if what we read and hear is true. A fourth reason for the odds against the drys is wet Propaganda that repeal is patriotism. It is an outrage to say that it is patriotic to vote to make legal the manutacure and sale of intoxicants that injure the body and the mind. The greatest good for the largest number of people cannot possibly come with the umestricted sale of intoxicants—especially to drivers of automobiles. In a short quota tion from the Wilson Times I find this statement: “When we contemplate what is going on in this state in reference to the careless handling of automobiles and the consequent havoc to human life, we are constrained to believe that life is cheaper in North Carolina than in any state in the union, for other states do license their drivers and try to pro tect motorists.” Will legalizing the manufacture and sale of liquor cause us to have fewer accidents and fewer lives lost? “This vean about 30,000 people are going to bo kil ed because someone was careless, reckless, and discourteous.” This statement is quoted from the Forest City Courier. Can you he convinced that unrestricted sale of intoxicating beverages will help to make these drivers more careful, more considerate, more courteous? In answer to the argument of those favoring repeal that there will not be any more drinking when the Eighteeth Amendment is repealed than there now is, I beg to quote to you a few lines from an article in the News and Observer of September 15, 1933, which is well worded: “The essential evil of whiskey is not in its manufacture and it! sale but in its use and abuse and the man is deaf, dumb, blind and a subject for guard ianship who beiieves that a vice legalized is going to be more circumspect and more amenable to the proprieties than a vice outlawed.” In other words, a vice »ade legal will not make people more moral, and will not make them ,n»re tiseful and more worthy citizens than they have been while that vice was unlawful. I would sooner say: take away the laws against stealing and murder because they are unheeded and broken - -take them away and people will not want to break them! Laws are not needed for those of us who would not break them even if there were no laws. There would not be lower murders and less stealing and less speeding if the laws against these things -vere repealed. Nor will there be fewer accidents, less drinking, less sale of whiskey, nor fewer crimes committed by drinking people if the Eighteenth Amendment is re pealed. There surely have been economic and social gains, not by abstract prohibition, but from such enforcement as we have had, and these gains must be preserved in our state. To encourage men to spend their earnings for intoxicants by removing the law against buying them will not help their families economically or socially and will not aid in the return of prosperity. Money spent for beer and liquor is nearly always needed for the necessities of life. If a man could drink and not affect an v other person by so doing, then none of us would offer any objection, for lie should be allowed this personal liberty. However, one’s personal liberty ends where another’s begins, most surely so in the case of a family provider. In closing let me say that it is my beliel that you will be both happy arid prouif to bt able to say in the future that you voted on the side with the Mothers, lon She side with the Church, on the side with Science, and otj God’s side when you voted to keep the Eighteenth Amendment legal in North Carolina. Remember the words of King Solomon in the days of light wines and beers: “Wine i ; a mocker, strong drink is raging and whosoever is de-eived thereby is not w ise.” ‘There never was a right endeavor but it succeeded. Patience and perseverance and w e shall win at last * * * * never mind the ridicule, never mild the defeat. Up again, old heart, there is victory yet lor all justice.” Triple Birthday Celebration j On last Sunday *h< birthdays of \ W. A. Daniel, of Met ulleis. E. ('. j Daniel, Sr., of Zebulon, and E, C.

Schedule Os Our Sales Tax 1 Very few people undersand the , -tries tax and how- it operates, so we give below the substance of the I -tate schedule as outlined by- A. J. Maxw*rii, Commissioner of Revenue. The first schedule was difficult to r . understand and complicated in its . operation. Briefly, the new sched , u'e i as follows and applies to all I retail merchants: Is--- than ten cents, no tax. Ten cents to 35 cents, one cent . tax. I 36 to 70 cents, two cents tax. 70 '-ents to $1.05, three cents tax. Above $1.05 a -traight three per ren* ax is applied, fractions are governed by major fractions. Iu this new schedule, it will not be possible for the merchant to in clude the tax in the price of each articl”. Theie seems to be some different' of opinion among the merchants as to what legitimately • belong to the state. Some ol them • put a l the tax money in a recepta . ele to itself, others keep a record ■ of total sales each day and take ■ out three per cent for sales tax. • Any wu,., it it the difference on small sale* should allow the mgr- School News WakeL>n School started a new term September 11th. with a total enrollment »t 843 punils.
