DOES ADVERTISING PAY?
oOo —- —
We are firm believers in advertising- of the
right sort in the right way. The late publicity ca
valcade that rode through the State from the
mountains to the sea was just about the biggest
flash and greatest waste of public money in many
a day outside the various Federal spending agen
cies. Wining and dining seems to have been the
biggest feature of the whole affair. In Asheville
the outstanding fact was that champagne cock
tails were served and “food was preceeded by
drink through Eastern Carolina.’’ Such pub
licity is not what North Carolina needs, but
rather such as will bring the sensible and sober
sort of folks to our bounds.

THINGS I NEVER NOODLE Now

That muscular exercise produces
lactic acid in the muscles.
That there are some people who
are drawing government pensions;
have government jobs with 10 point

their children to school through the
National Youth Administration,

the people. They should know.

OUR TOWN BOARD
oOo
As stated sometime ago, we believe our pres
ent town commissioners are doing their best to
give Zebulon a good town government. It ap
pears that in the past the collection of back taxes
was neglected. Our present Board is doing its
best to collect all such taxes. Also, we understand,
they are doing their best to adjust a burdensome
and embarrasing debt. The citizens of the town
should give their loyal support to these men who
are trying to give Zebulon a better and more
economical government.

OUR LATE LOCAL FAIR
oOo
__ We suppose the type of midway features in
our local fair was like those seen at other fairs
of the same sort. But, a man in our office a few
days ago told about going into one of these
shows and seeing women as naked as Eve when
fresh from the hand of her Maker. We had the
same sort of thing at the carnival last year, and
some of the best (?) people of the community
went into such shows. Os course women and chil
dren were not admitted. We prefer not to express
our opinion of men who patronize such places.
However, we hope the town authoritis will see to
it next year that such spectacles are kept out of
the community.
has the least to say, who says the
most.
That the fellow who takes on him
self a tremendous amount of work
is not always the smartest.
That if you don't think so nobody
else will.
That marriage is more than an
institution, its a whole string of em.
