MRS. THEO. 11. DAVIS
THE FOUR COUNTY NEWSPAPER—WAKE, JOHNSTON, NASH AND FRANKLIN
ZEBULON, NORTH CAROLINA, FRIDAY, JUNE EIGHTEENTH, 1937.
f FACING THE FACTS |
t TEMPERANCE X
$ If a thing is wrong morally, then there can be no middle ground. W hiskey
is a curse. It is morally wrong. Then no good citizen or Christian can afford to drink £
it or make it legally possible for his fellow man to get. .
CONTROL %
Physical forces are practically controlled as to direction and intensity. J
Moral forces may be controlled likewise. In county controlled sale of liquor, so far j
the ABC stores have succeeded only in partially controlling the selling agency. It S
still gets to the drinker in increasing quantity. 1
REVENUE f
The State and counties must have revenue if our schools and other institu- «|*
lions The total amount spent for drink through ABC stores is five times
the net profit of the liquor business. More than half goes to enrich fat liquor barons y
in Kentucky. One fourth or more goes into police and court expenses incident to liquor V
consumption. Twenty cents of the dollar tomes back in cash, the balance as a curse. V
*
On next Tuesday vote to save y our country, your churches, and your child- &
ren by voting NO to legalized liquor in Wake County.

Gill. This wasi a most enjoyable !
worship feature, being based on the
life of Christ. Ralph House direct
ed and Miss Jocelyn House was at
the piano. Pastor Bradley did not
preach, but in a short talk empha
sized the importance of temperance,
i illustrating with facts gained by
personal exeprience with drunkards
At the evening hour Pastor Brad
ley and his congregation worship
ed at the Baptist church where Mr.
Bradley preached the initial ser
mon in the revival meetnig. On

and an address will be given by an
invited speaker. At noon barbecue

The liquor question seems to be
occupying the front pages of the
leading county papers now and to
listen to the general trend, both
sides are bound to win. Get on the
band wagon. It wouldn’t be safe
to bet on either of these sides be
cause there is no certainty about
| women, weather or elections. All
j can be wet or dry without a mo
ment’s notice.
i I have been accused of going to
1 the movies, not to marvel at the
feature, but to laugh at the car
toon. That in all respects is true to
a certain extent, but I’ve a sneak
ing suspicion that there are others
not far from our city who feel a
tinge of disappointment if Mickey,
Donald Duck or Popeye doesn’t
claim the silvered screen for ten or
more minutes.
It seems that I remember a fairly
recent all cartoon show that sever
al of our more prominent citizens
could be seen inside the State lobby
j while a son or daughter bought the
i tickets.
Os course the older heads were
merely there to take care of the
children I was there for the same
reason, only I forgot to bring the
children.
There is something about the ma
ny predicaments that Donald Duck
gets himself into, and the many
humorous fights in which the sail
fir man engages that put another
spring in my cushion. The seats
are never as hard when the feature
begins. As a. matter of fact, I’d ra
ther see several cartoon comedies
than any of the long, or boring,
or both, full lengths that grace our
| scene of action.
The local colored beauty shop
did a rushing business Friday and
Saturday preparing its dusky pa
trons for the colored June German

He’s probably the black sheep of
the office force.
The local fair committee has re
cently contracted with The Master
Showman George Hamid for an act
the equal of which has never been
seen at any small fair, and no bet
ter act has ever been staged at the
state fair.
The act played for years during
the summer season at Atlantic Ci
ty and is famous the world over for
high-wire and trick acrobatics.
A cut of the act will probably be
included in the features of next
week’s paper. Messrs. Privette and
Gil] are to be congratulated on sign
i ing an act of such magnitude. No
other fair smaller than the Winston
Salem fair will feature the act in
the state this year.
Saw Silas Green’s Minstrels in
Raleigh this week. They were true
minstrels, but must confess I en
joyed the hot-roast beef sandwich
afterwards better than the show
itself.
