Register Your Baby Now At an early date the United State Government will begin in North Carolina a campaign looking to the registration of every baby born within the state. This has been supposed to be done for some years, but repeated failures by mid wives and doctors to report births have kept the files incomplete. Registration at birth is the only way in which the age of a person may be officially verified, and there are times when this is necessary. In some states children beginning school are required to present birth certificates along with those attest ing to vaccination. It might be added that it is well to name a child before registering the birth; otherwise an “unnamed child” is entered as having been born on a certain date, with the sex and the parents’ names also noted. 85 to Take Bar- Examinations Eighty five men and women have qualified to take the bar examina tion in this state.

ZEBULON, NORTH CAROLINA, FRIDAY, JANUARY TWENTY-FIFTH, 1935 WOMANS CLUB Rough weather reduced the at tendance at the general meeting of the Woman’s Club on Tuesday night, but those ‘who went were more than repaid by the presence of Mrs. B. B. Mangum of Roxboro, district chairman of federated clubs. Mrs. Mangum made an inter esting and informative address set ting forth the objectives of club women of the present day, and em phasizing service as a privilege as well as duty. She said that a good mother prepares the proper envir onment far her children at home and as far abroad as she is able to wield her influence and that all other children are thereby helped. Emphasis was laid upon citizenship and the necessity of knowing one’s own community, its resources and needs. Miss Webb, of Wakelon’s faculty, spoke on Furniture, being present ed by Mrs. Faison, chairman of the department of American Homes. Miss Webb explained that the greater part of furniture reprodu ces designs of past years, save for greater use of color. She explain ed that most furniture takes the name of the maker as Sheraton, Duncan Phyfe and others. In the short period regularly de voted to Civics, Mrs. C. E. Flowers presented Miss Irene Pitts Wake lon’s teacher of History and Civics, who briefly sketched the proposed Townsend Act for old age pensions, and showed why it would not prove feasible. Mrs. Flowers spoke for a few minutes on safety and health, giv ing practical suggestions. In the business session a nomi nating committee was elected to report at the February meeting: Mrs. C. L. Read, Mrs. R. H. Her ring, Mrs. E. C. Daniel being those chosen. Several members of the Junior Club were guests to hear Mrs. Mangum. Mrs. J. D. Horton was also a guest. Mesdames Lela Horton, F. H.

Snowdrifts 30 feet deep are report ed from the northwest. In all 70 deaths had been reported up to Wednesday noon. The weather man has been predicting extremely cold weather here all week, but until yesterday morning we had not felt the cold wave. World’s Premiere Hypnotist Will Give Two Performances ifUIS, THAT ! AND THE OTHER| By Mrs. THEO. B. DAVIS J . . . T - - —-» It seems that I never can learn much about folks; .1 am forever being surprised either at their goodness or their badness, and ift en the same person surprises me both ways. Last Sunday when 1 ..was trying to find an illustration of service that would parallel the washing of the disciples’ feet the best one that came to my mind was how, on the day our home burned, some men scrubbed the floor of the kitchen in the house to which our few belongings were carried. Soot had been .washed down the chim ney flue by rain, but we saw none of it. Those men had left Sunday School to do service to a fellow-; man. They certainly did not make j scrubbing their profession but they ' did a good job of it and it was! appreciated more than feet wash- | ing could have been. Os course there is nothing spe cial in the recollection, but when ever our legislature is in session I recall the tme when we took our two oldest children on a tour of inspection over the capitol. The boy was only four and was not much impressed until we reached the rotunda and he saw the numer ous busts of statesmen on display there. With eyes wide with horror he implored: “Come on! Let’s leave| just as quick as we can. The folks; what live here worship idols.” A good memory is not entirely a blessing. In the course of the years one accumulates many memories that it would he a pleasure to for get. It would be different if one could choose just which to discard and which to treasure; but the chances are that just when the happy ones are being counted over and enjoyed some painful or horrid recollection will rear its head .and insist upon being considered. A good forgetter is almost as neces sary as remembering, if one would be happy. The love of watching sights, un-l usual, at times even repulsive, is a peculiar trait of humans. It de velops early in life—and often keeps right on developing. At times it reminds me of a little cousin who was begging to go down to the railroad track and see a mule that had been killed by the train. Her aunt tried to reason with her, explaining that thf poor old mule was all dead and ugly and (Continued on Page 4) Good Opening At Hatchery Here The Zebulon Community Hatch ery began the season’s work last Monday with the best opening in its history, and a good year is confidently expected. The hatchery paid a dividend last year to stockholders, who feel much encouraged over the outlook. As a community enterprise the hatchery is one of the most im portant establishments of this sec tion. Visit the plant and let Mr. and Mrs. Massey explain the methods used. Take them eggs for hatching arly chickens. (Ad runs this issue.) I New Registration For Wake County Representative Clarence Mitchell l introduced a bill Saturday, con curred in by both Representatives Thompson and Douglass, authoriz ing Clerk of Court Tilley to burn all registration books, so as to in sure a complete new registration for Wake County. The bill passed the house under suspension of the rules and went to the senate. At the instance of Dr. A. R. New some, secretary of the State His torical Commission, Senator Weath ers amended the bill to provide that instead of destroying the books they be placed in the archives of the hall of history, with a further proviso that they should not be available for inspection or consul tation for a period of five years. That amendment was satisfactory to the representatives and in that form the bill became law. At Mon-1 day night’s session another bill was | introduced providing for the same I disposition to be made of the reg-1 istration books in the city of Ra leigh. Other bills introduced Monday night included one by Mitchell out lawing gypsies in this state, and another banning obscene literature or pictures from the state. This last bill is designed to keep off the newsstands some of the type of magazines that flaunt good-looking gals on thefr covers. Not having seen a copy of the bill, this writer is not in position to say is made the censor to judge what is obscene and what is not. However there is little occasion for concern. Such a bill as that will not passet North Carolina legislature. Dr. Douglass offered a hill re quiring that the highway comniis slon secure its gravel, sand and other road building material from its own land, or else pay full price for damage done private property by removal of such material. The trunk and feet of the ele jhant are considered dallcioua food by natives of Africa. Blindfold Drive Begins At 2:45 At Zebulon Supply William Irvine Fayssoux will be here for two performances tonight and tomorrow night. The admis sion is 10 and 25 cents. Mr. Fayssoux will arrive in Zeb ulon at about noon today and will hypnotise a man in the window of tie Zebulon Supply Company where the man will remain in a cataleptic state until the show to night. The blindfold drive will com mence at 2:46 sharp. In this drive Mr. Foyssoux is blindfolded and very well-guarded by several citi zens. While blindfolded and guard ed, several other citizens compos ing a committee will write a letter, address it to some person in town, then, they will take it to the post office and it will be placed in one L of the various boxes. The box key I will then be hidden somewhere in I town by a committee and they will return and notify the guarding committee. Fayssoux, still blindoflded, will get in the car with the guarding committee and drive to the place where the key is hidden. Then, find the key and drive to the post of fice, find the box, select the afore mentioned letter from among sev eral others and with the blindfold still on, deliver the letter to the person to whom it is addressed. Among the attractions of the big night show, is Houdini’s Mail Bag Escape and Alexander Herman’s Trunk Trick combined into one great illusion. A committee select ed by the audience will be permit ted to lock an assistant in a mail bag. place the mail bag and all in a trunk lock the trunk and tie it in any way they wish, so they are quite sure he cannot escape. In three minutes they unlock the trunk and find a beautiful young lady. The assistant has made his escape and comes walking down the aisle. This is the identical trick that made Houdini famous the world over. Don't forget the daten. Today and tomorrow, Friday and Satur day, January 26th and 26th. Ad mission is only 10 and 25 cents.
