Factory Moved The Zebnlon Chair Factory is be ing moved from the old building hack of Wiggs Warehouse, where it has been located since first incor porated to the Perry Building, now owned by Wake Forest. The entire space will be used for storage and manufacture. This move places the factorv in a more centrally located! as well as better housing place. Manager Hinton is having some busy dayß moving the equipment and installing machinery, but ex pects to be ready to resume busi ness shortly. School Again After an unusually long vacation for the Christmas holidays Wake lon School re-opened on last Mon day. Some of the teachers had left home to return to their work be fore knowing of the second post ponement of the opening, due to bad weather. Buses have been able to make their rounds with careful driving and the children all seem glad to be back at their work, even though it may be for the reason ( one small boy advanced —"every day means one less to go”. Flowers Brothers To Atlanta Prison By Ms failure to act upon the pe tition of their lawyers that they be permitted to pay a fine in lieu of prison terms, the Flowers brothers of Johnston eottity were required to report to the marshall Mat week to begin their terms In Atlanta fed eral prison.

I Club News STUDY COURSE MEETING On Tuesday afternoon the month, ly meeting of the co-operative Study course was held ih the church at Wakefield. The attend ance was good considering the wea ther and the ladies of the church had made careful provision for comfort The topic of the day was substi tuted because of illness of Mrs. C. Flowers who was to have been pro gram leader. Instead of the Sched uled subject Mrs. Theo. B. Davis spoke on Managing Money or Spending the Family Income. She urged that each family study, its own problems, decide what can be afforded and abide by decisions, taking children into partnership in both earning and spending, insofar as is posible. Mrs. J.

Houses Needed There is at this time an acute need of houses in Zebulon. We do not know how the situation may best be remedied, and we do know that there is frequently little in come to be derived from rentals, after taxes and upkeep have been paid. But at the same time, if our town is to grow, we must have homes for our citizens. Right n>w we have in mind two families that have had to go elsewhere because no place could be found in Zebulon. This means a loss to our merchants and other business enterprises, be sides a check to the growth of the town's population. 1 It has come to the pass that mov ing in or near town is a good bit like the old game of "Going to Je-j rusalem”. There are more families than houses and whenever one moves there is a rush to see vho can be first to get the vacate premises. True, we have not sufficiently re covered from the depression to do much building. But we should and must do something, If we would provide for those who would Hkc to come and be our neighbors.

NUMBER * Fifty Years Ago In Graham Co. About fifty years ago the edi tor of the Record was a ten-year old boy up in the mountains of North Carolina in Graham county. Lately I have been reading with a great deal of interest the Graham County News. Among the usual so cial items and other things of k>- cal interest I have noted souse things that are umisuftl fit lefist In this part of the state. For instance two men went bear hunting west of Robbir.sville and came back with a 450 pound bear, • a Russian boar and two wild tur keys. A young man was shot by another man at a store near a lumber mill. A crowd off peOjfie went serenading ini Cable's Cove on Christmas Eve. A preacher in Robbinsville went across Steooah mountain ten miles to see a skk child. Everybody was wishing “Un cle” John Rogers Well on his eight ieth birthday. Some one was sick with pneumo nia and had been carried to the hospital at Sylvia or Murphy. Oth ers were visiting relatives in Le noir. N. C., or Knoxville, Teifn., during the holidays. Now all these news items are net so much out of the ordinary, but brought back recollections of fifty years ago. The change is not do great in many respects, yet ee much so that it is at least interced ing to me to compare fifty yCato ago and now among the mountain people who are my people separat ed only by the years. When I was a boy my father went to market each fall. He ear ned chickens, dried "fruit”, which to mountain people means apples; onions; chestnuts and other pro duce to Gainesville, Ga. or Mary iville, Tenn. It took almost a week ' to make the trip, sometimes longer, with a big covered wagon pulled by oxen usually. If one went as far as Asheville or Atlanta it was the talk of the community for weeks. Now the trip may be made and re turn in less than a day. It was not news to go bear ee Turkey hunting. I’ve seen deer chas ed by hound* across my father’s field, a little over a mile from the county seat. He killed a wild tur , key running with the chickens one afternoon. In fact when he was a young man, while driving his milk row home from the woods, the dog jumped a fawn and it ran into his arms. There was abundant game, eueh as fox, opossum, raccoon, tur key wild hogs, and bear beskfce sirtafier game. One I saw the at* almost black with a string off wild pigeons reaching from one moun tain top to another, more than two miles.
