him. Yet he still insists on in

Mrs. Roosevelt Becomes
Columnist
Mrs. Roosevelt is probably both
the the most voluminous writer and
the greatest traveler of all presi

tract to write a column each day
for newspapers entitled *‘My Day”
in which she will tell of the inci
dents of her daily life. The Raleigh
Times will publish these.

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.

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

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.

and teacher who are priviledged to

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

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

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,

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

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.
