THE ZEBULON RECORD Member North Carolina Press Association Published every Friday By THE RECORD PUBLISHING COMPANY Zebulon, N. C. THEO. B. DAVIS Editor Entered as second-class mail matter June 26 1925, at the Postoffice at Zebulon, North Caro lina, under the Act of March 3, 1879 Subscription Rates: One Year $1.00; Six Months 50c; Three Months 30c. All Subscriptions Must be paid in Advance. A WORTHY PROJECT We learn that members of the Woman’s Club are considering the beginning of a library in their clubhouse. This project has been in the minds of some from a time before the house was bought. This purchase and its remodeling, the depression and other drawbacks have delay ed the establishment of a library; but we hope they may be able to proceed now. Naturally, the number of books owned at first will be small compared to what may be hoped for later; but a small library is far better than none. We believe that donations of books from those interested will aid materially in mak ing the start; and while well begun is not exact ly half done, it is a long step forward. The RECORD extends not only congratula tions and best wishes, but, insofar as possible, a helping hand. “WPA STAGE MONEY” Maj. Gen. Johnson Hagood has lost his com mand of the eighth army corps at San Antonio, Texas, and has been sent home to “await or ders.” Just why no one knows, but when one reads his “remarks” about the administration he may guess. Here is his definition of stage money : WPA Readers Forum r MORE ON POOL ROOMS a i Formerly being a citizen of your r Town and having a lot of very good f friends there yet, a reader of your f paper, I have read with much in- ( terest the protest some of the cit- t izens are making in the opening of t a billiard room in your town. t People, young boys especially, j are going to have some kind of re- s creation and if you don’t give it , to them at home they are going elsewhere to find amusement, and I think it would be better for them to be at home in a billiard room where it is a public place than to ' be away riding and drinking at places that -you know not where. , For they are at least under the t guidance of the town officers 1 while there. 1 Personally I think a room run in the right way is an asset to any City and will admit that some j times some are not run as they t should be but no more wrong than a lot of other kinds of businesses, j lam a billiard room operator i ( and will say that my place is run s as clean and decent as nay other i business in our Town. We have drunks, cursing, etc. but we ask th°n to behave or get out just as t •-v other business and we pride \ , Ol’ selves in saying our place is i always decent for a lady to come in h any time and we also solicit the 1 THE ZEBULON RECORD, ZEBULON, NORTH CA RQLINA, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY TWENTY-EIGHT, 1936 games or play if they like. I would not operate any place not good enough for a lady to visit, and do not feel that I am degrad ing myself any in being a billiard room operator, and the gambling feature is small in comparison to other ways of gambling. I have customers that play every week that I believe are as good Chris tians as you can find anywhere and That money could not make them gamble on a game and others will, so we are what we are what ever we do or where ever we are. N. C. Mullen. Our Duffel Bag Another girl who leaves me cold, And whom I never could hold dear, Is she who answers my remarks By saying flippantly, “O, yeah?” Definition: A small town is a place where everybody knows the troubles you’ve seen. Why do some folks make pigs of themselves at the table and then say piously it seems the Lord’s will that they should suffer? The man may have been right when he said: ‘‘Capital punishment was good enough for my father and it’s good enough for me.” Breathes there a man with soul J funds is “stage money” because you can pass it around but you cannot get anything for it in the end. He further remarked out of-order, it seems: “There is a vast flow of silver—l won’t say gold —spreading out all over the country like mud. It will soon dry up without anything permanent to show for it. 1 shall not be accused of pro fanity when I say, for God’s sake, put some of it into stone and steel. It is harder for me to get five cents to buy a lead pencil than to get SI,OOO to teach hobbies to CCC boys. Under WPA I can get S2OO to build a gravel walk to the garden house but 1 cannot get $lO to repair a busted steam pipe. Perhaps the general exaggerated somewhat in his statement, yet we are of the opinion that even then there was a rich vein of truth running through such remarks which no doubt did not set well with the New Deal’s administra tion. No doubt many have thought as he spoke- The only reason a lot of other fellows have not lost their jobs if they have any is due to the fact that they did not get them by the grace of po litical higher-ups. WHEN I GO TO CONGRESS When this editor goes to Congress the very first bill he proposes to drop in the hopper will be one to make it a criminal offense for any statement or speech made by a member or Fed eral officeholder to be published in the Congress Record. This determined conviction was intensi fied the other day when we received a big envelope enclosing the spech of Snator Robin son of Arkansas. It stated that the speech was delivered elsewhere but was by permission print ed among the records of what actually happened in Congress. The speech was nothing but a po litical harangue against the speech delivered by A1 Smith before the Liberty League. We have no objection to any man’s defend ing his party or person in a public utterance, but when his deliberation is sent to every nook and corner of the land at the expense of the tax payers, we protest. Yest, when we get up to Washington to represent the Peepul we will at least make an effort to relieve them of this much of the blood-sucking political parasites. We need men in Congress big enough not to use govern ment funds in the defense or propagation of party issues. In our opinion that is next to down right stealing. And Senator Robinson is not the only one guilty of such appropriation of funds from the people’s treasury. "He who rises late may trot all day and not overtake his business."
