He issued 368 in 1934, or 30 fewer. Santa in the Sky Residents of Philadelphia and suburbs saw Santa Claus in the sky on Christmas Eve. The Phila delphia Record, hearing that Santa was in difficulties up North sent to Labrador to meet him. They found one of the eindeer had split a hoof, it was reported. With air planes they brought three of the reindeer and Santa and he was towed over the city, 1500 feet in the air. One plane pulled the sleigh, one flew along to keep spotlights trained on it, while a third plane played Jingle Bells and Merrj Christmas. Preparations took three weeks and the result thrilled even grown-ups, while children were ec static. , by even an occasional disagreement. j The only fly in the ointment of J contentment at such times is the 1 fe»r that there are those who may 1 be cold or hungry or both. And the r fear that we may have only said to » our needy b. her, “Be thou warm b ed and fed.” without making an es - fort to relieve the distress or re d move its cauie.

Hatchery Pay 3 Dividends After years of struggling along, sometimes at poor dying rate, as egards the hatch the Zebulon Com munity Hatchery seems on the road to becoming a profitable enterprise. As managed by O. D. Massey the business has paid a dividend for the past two years. The one in 1934 was no big percentage, nor was the 1935 profit so much in dollars and cents. Fvut when it is remembered that the equipment had to be paid for. the management provided for, and other expenses met, there is cause for congratulation that so much has been done. Not three years ago there seem ed grave danger of losing this busi ness from our community. There was a mortgage that had to be paid if the hatchery continued to func tion. A number of those who first took shares decleared themselves unable or unwilling to invest more. Others felt sure it would be worse to lose what had been invested without further effort and among themselves made up the amount due. Just before Christmas Manager Massey made visits to the stock holders carrying cheeks for the amount of their dividends. And fifteen dollars and some coming in just at Christmas tithe —or any other time—is rather con. elusive evidence that the concern that pays it is a going affair. For the sakes of all concerned in I any way it is to be hoped that this Burial Os Mrs. Flowers Funeral were held on Friday aftenooi at two o’clock at the Methodist Cfiurch for Mrs.De Ella Alford fc’ldKvers wha Christmas rorfiing.

Unusual Weather i It is not news to any one to say we have had snow —One of the big gest snows and the longest cold spells ever known ,in this section, but for the benefit of those who come after and may read our files in town at night. Little of this snow melted up to the following Satur day night when a second one fell. It was about the same depth as the first. There were no religious ser vices in the churches on that day or night. The water pipes in many homes froze and stock suffered in the cold snow. At this time few birds are seen and it is feared that many of the smaller birds have frozen to death or starved. As we go to press the weather has moder ated some and rain is falling while a dense fog is everywhere. General Extortion Case Caleb Milne, 4th, member of a wealthy New York family, has con fessed that, spurred by a desire for publicity, he planned hjs own dis appearance to resemble a kidnap ing case and tied himself after tap ing his eyes and mouth closed then rolled down a hill to be discovered by passing motorists. He had sent to his grandfather a note demand ing $20,000 ransom. Federal offi cials working on the case secured a confession from the young man after he was confronted with evi dence already in hand. He said he wanted to get into moving pictures and to be kidnaped seemed a good idea. The grandfather will not prosecute, but the United States government may not be so lenient. “How fortunate are the student and teacher who are priviledged to work in an institution where both can come together from morning to morning for a period of worship and prayer.”—Dean Marshbanks. year will be the best yet for The Zebulon Community Hatchery.

I have recently gone into partnership with a friend and want to stay off relief. ■ Yessir, I want to make an honest living as long fes possible. W~ m " 1 The reason we have been having such inclement weather of late is, that the elements realize that after all the candidates for the various and sundry offices begin frothing at the mouth, there will be so much hot air around, they wouldn’t have a chance. Holloway is beginning to get a tiny touch of poly ticks under his collar and now and then waxeß elo quent until it runs over the top. * This week he says of Clyde Hoey: “Clyde Hoey, the Sage of Shelby, will employ the eloquence of De mosthenes and the logic of Plato in hia presentation of his political it .jpßtesa, at cetera, Solomon,—” why, he could have continued for hours. I see where the Burlington Liars’ Club is presenting their “diamond medal” this week”. We have plen ty of boys around here who could and do qualify for that medal each and every day and capably, too. Santa Claus was mighty good to me this year, but I wish he wasn’t so darn prompt in sending out his "Statement of accounts”. By the end of January I’ll have enough to paper the living room. We papered the kitchen in pink last year, and the bedroom stays in “red”. Take a letter, Miss Blah. Dear Santa: Please put all my accounts on the right hand page in red ink. It will save transferring them la ter. Sincerely, Swashbuckler. Anne Kemp is the only woman I have seen who could park with her wheels against the sidewalk in front of the Post office and then back out without assistance from push 9rn. No chains required either. Few men could do it, and many didn't during our snow. Anne just had the right idea and used it. Per fect control, I calls ft. Well, aa I nasally bid you a gur gling- good-bye through my latest cold, I see it begin to rain and fog and whatnot. I can stand the rain and fog, but the whatnot is slowly but surely getting me down. Yours, The Bniffbucltler. Patronize our advertisers.
