Business Places
Will Close Wed.
Afternoons
The following resolutions were
passed at the last meeting of tftie
Town Board:
THAT WHEREAS—Requests and
a signed petition have been present
ed to the governing board of our
town, indidcating that a majority
of the business men, merchants and
shopkeepers want to close their
places of business at one o’clock
each Wednesday during the months
of July and August, 1937.
AND WHEREAS—The closing of
business houses for business each
Wednesday during the dull summer
months each year is becoming a
popular custom among our neigh
boring towns.
AND WHEREAS —There seems to
be no inconvenience to customers,
little or no loss of business since
the patrons are aware of the clos
ing and the .practice is becoming
general.
NOW THEREFORE Be it re
solved that the Mayor and Board of
Commissioners of the town of Zeb
ulon do favor and endorse the clos
ing of all places of business except
drug stores, gas and oil dealers,
and eating places each Wednesday
afternoon at one o’clock during the
months of July and August, 1937.
The above resolution was, upon
motion duly carried and it was sug
gested that the same with comment
be published in the Zebulon Record.
Complaint has been made that onlx
two or three places of business in
town refuse to close and that they,
even though agree to close persist
in returning to serve a customer,
and stay in places convenient to
call. Those representing the ma
jority ask that we take some action
to assure closing. We hope that
will not be necessary, but thatj
every one will enter into the matter'
in good faith and abide wholly by
its terms. Perhaps, during the sum- j
mer it will benefit us to take one
afternoon off each week. Certainly
we are too small a town and too
good a community to attempt to
take unfair advantage of each oth--
er. especially on matters designed
to help the towm as a whole. We be
lieve those in the minority will ac
cede to the wishes of the majority,
at least we trust they will do so.
The following merchants and
business people have agred to close
their places of business on Wednes
day afternoons during the months
of July and August. It is hoped
that their customers and patrons
will transact all business or make
all purchases in the fbrepoon so
no one will be disappointed because
of not being abTe to get service in
the afternoon on Wednesday after
noons. This will be the only op
portunity many clerks and others
will have during the hot summer
months for an outing and it is hop
ed that every one will assist in en
abling them to have it.

Hy
THE
SWASH- A
BUCKLER
I have no faith in fortune tellers.
Still, I often wonder how they ar
rive at definite statements such
as the names of people they have
never seen. Your age, your name
and various other things^
When Fayssoux the great men
talist, was here a few years ago,
despite my best efforts, I could not
find out how he performed the
blind-fold drive, nor the letter de
livery. Mental telepathy may be,
and may not. But he certainly did
convincing things supposedly by
the power of thought concentra
tion and suggestion.
I have a brother who disbelieves
all these things. He states definite
ly that he could look up a lady’s
horoscope as easily as anyone else.
Well, he might have something
there, at that.
Speaking of things of like na
ture, brings out blushes on many
people's faces when they remember
a few of the things fortune tellers
could tell, but more often don’t.
Did you ever stop to think just
what a blush is?
Many would say, “Well, it’s just
turning red” or “It’s flushing
when embarrassed.” There are
probably a thousand and one an
swers, but I believe the most com
plete and only reliable definition
of the blush appears in the next
paragraph handed me after hours
of study by a biological friend.
A BLUSH is a temporary arith
ma and a calorific effulgence of
the physiognomy, ettigilized by the
precipitation of the sesorum from
a predicament of inequilibrium
caused by usdden shame, anger,
fear, humiliation or other emo
tion, resulting in a partial parsis
of the vasomotorial muscular fila
ments of the facial, immediately
become*suffused with radiance em
anating an intermediated precordia.
Mr. Webster, who also haa made
a study of the word, I’m told, says
—The redness due to a suspension
of the action of the local vasomo
tor nerves allowing the arteries
and capillaries to dilate so that
there is an increased flow of blood
to the parts that redden.
I suppose this fellow Webster
know his stuff, but I still like my
friend’s best.
I am reliably informed that peo
ple blush all over too. Some of
them. Others blush in spots. That
is probably true. I well recall a
certain spot that would redden
rapidly when brought under a sud
den emotional strain by dad with
the aid of a razor strop!
Blushirigly yours, .
