SNATCHING AT A SHArOW oOo The demands of Labor Unions on the govern ment reminds me of Aesop’s fable of the dog who had a good sized chunk of meat as he crossed bridge, when he saw his reflection in the water he thought it was another dog also with a piece of meat. Wanting the “whole hog”, he snatched at the reflection and lost what he carried in his own mouth. If Lewis and Green do not watch out, that will be just about what will happen in their demands for absolute control of labor. oOo SALARY STATED—SALARY ACTUALLY PAID oOo As clerk of Baptist Association the writer has this fall been impressed with a new blank that is to be filled out on the letter each church is supposed to send to the annual associational meeting. Formerly there has been a blank space after “Pastor’s salary.” On this was to be set down the amount contributed by the church for this purpose. It was found, however, that there were times when the salary was left unpaid for many months; or, in extreme cases, was never fully paid. The new church letters have two blanks: one ask for the stated amount of pastor’s salary; the other calls for the “Amount actually paid.” This may not result in more money being paid to pastors; but it will make for accuracy in reporting what was actually paid. oOo PLAIN ENOUGH FOR ALL TO UNDERSTAND o Below is reprinted an item which was run as a legal in The Whiteville News Reporter. It leaves something to the imagination, but is plain enough in language and purpose for all concerned or unconcerned to understand. There are many men of many minds, and Uncle "Jim Sags On our farm, we find that when hogs are on good alfalfa pasture they need about a tenth less grain and a third less protein concen trates than they do when without such pasturage. Halloween Carnival On Friday night, October 29, at 8:00 p. m. Wakelon will have the largest, gayest, finest festival ever presented for Halloween or seen in Zebulon or vicinity.

October 14, 1937. W. B. BORDEAUX, Court House Square, Whiteville, N. C. oOo NEW REPRESENTATIVE o Mr. Clarence F. Sexton of Raleigh will be come solicitor and collector for the Zebulon Record next week. He will solicit subscriptions for the Record, collect past due subscriptions and also help with the advertising end of the business. Mr. Sexton has been engaged in the insur ance business for a number of years, in which he has met good success. He originally lived in South Boston, Va. It is the purpose of the editor of the Record to build the subscription list up to at least 3,(XX) if possible. At one time the paper had 3700 paid subscribers and we believe it can have them again. We ask our readers and friends throughout the territory in which the Record circulates to receive Mr. Sexton with the same friendly way they have treated us in the past. We hope to make the paper better and better as our subscrip tion list grows so as to justify our doing so. Since taking over the business of the Record Publishing Company the receipts from subscrip tions have not reimbersed us half the cost of getting out the paper. We hope the people of the four counties in which the Zebulon Record circulates will re spond to our efforts to build the circulation to such a number that we can make the Record the best paper of its kind in the State. of Horrors. This contains many of the infamous spooks of the world. A few of them are John Dillinger, the guy that murdered Lincoln, and many others. If you are weak hearted you are advised not to en ter this home of the Ghosts. The sponsors of this occasion have gone to considerable trouble to hire the scariest spooks, goblins, and ghosts to be found anywhere for the festival. Come one come all to the Wakelon gym-in costume if possible-and enjoy yourselves. The proceeds will be used to buy new song books for the school. FOR SALE BLUE HORSE BICYCLE New and Unused Mrs. Jones At Wakelon Lunch Room ECONOMIC HIGHLIGHTS Happenings That Affect the Din ner Pails, Dividend Checks and Tax Bills of Every Individual. National and International Problems Inseparable From Lo cal Welfare. President Roosevelt’s speech on world affairs in which he castigat ed dictatorships and proposed a virtual quarantine of bellicose powers, is perhaps the most im portant international event for many months. It was greeted witi almost unanimous praise in thi 3 country, by papers of all politics l ! affiliations. It charted a definiltt course which this government H prepared to follow. It w r as direiH aggressive and, for the head ofH government, extremely daring. B the view of the experts, it is ed certain that the British and sibly the French foreign offiH. were consulted before the speH| was made, and that the plan ofHj| tion laid down by the PresiHH is approved by the three greatHH mocracies of the world. H§f| Mr. Roosevelt’s suggestion H§|f simple as it is revolutionary. Hi effect, he said that it might bflH cessary to place a towering H mercial wall around the nsfl which are responsible for t«BH war scares and war Peaceful nations would rcfuflßß export to these countries, an
