THE RED CROSS
o
Jam | || The red cross suggests death
1 IM and disaster. When we see this
symbol we think of the count
less human beings who thru
centuries have suffered thru
the destructive forces of na-
DrnPanes ture and man '
nEubnUSS But that very suggestion
which reminds us that lives destroyed can never
be revived, also reminds us that this agency of
mercy, the Red Cross, may save lives from suf
fering and even death that otherwise would have
no escape.
In the great flood disaster only last year in
our own land America was called upon to place
in the hands of the Red Cross clothes, food and
medicines that saved much suffering and many
lives. Today old China is suffering in the throes
of death through fire, flood, famine, shell and
sword. Where thousands have died, millions
may join them. Living in peace, the aggressor
fell upon them from land, sea and sky.
America now has another opportunity to
show forth her Christ-like spirit in contributing
to the Red Cross campaign running through No
vember. Not only should everyone join the Red
Cross, but all should make additional contribu
tions to send relief to millions of Chinese women
and children who will perish from cold and
hunger before another year dawns, without our
help.
Let every one in Zebulon and the community
around join the Red Cross. Every dollar wc
put in this agency of mercy will be wisely and
economically used to relieve suffering. In the
name of Him who shed His red blood on a cross
-1938 Farm Program
Ready For Farmers
North Carolina farmers who
are planning to take part in the
Agricultural Conservation pro
gram next year are giving careful
study to details of the 1938 farm
program.
The new program will be dif
ferent in many respects from pro
grams of past years, according to
E. Y. Floyd of State College, who
is AAA executive officer in
North Carolina.
It has already received the final
stamp of approval from Henry A.
Wallace, Secretary of Agriculture.
Since it was first announced ten
tatively September 20, the 1938
program has undergone but few
alterations.
One of the principal changes
has been the decrease in the cotton
goal for the entire nation. This
action was provoked by the latest
U. S. crop forecast of approxi
mately 171,500,000 bales. Previ
ously, the estimate for 1937 had
been placed at 16,000,000 bales.
When the new program was
first announced in September, the
latest cotton forecast had not
been completed. When AAA offi
cials learned the lint crop was
1,500,000 bales larger than they
anticipated, they went into a hud
dle and made adjustments. The re
vised goal is 27,000,000 to 29,000,
000 acres, about 2,ooo,oooacres be
low the first announced figure.
Potato goals will also be includ

ed in the 1938 program. More than
82 per cent of the growers in the
commercial potato producing sect
ions favored acreage stabilization
in a referendum which was con
cluded during the first part of Oct
ober.
Payments will be based on the
number of acres planted, up to the
limit of a farm's goal. Maximum
payment can be earned by planting
the full goal, with deductions be
ing made for yields above or below
the goal.
Teeth In Tumor
In the crippled children’s clinic
at Lenoir a small boy recently un
derwent an operation for the re
moval of a large tumor on one
side of his jaw. When the tumor
was opened it was found to con
tain three sets of teeth. Only a
slight scar was left to show
where the disfiguring growth had
been.
Another peculiar case treated
lately was that of a boy who had
webbed feet, the toes, except the
great toe, being joined together
by skin. His hands were also par
tially webbed. A simple operation
changed the child to a normal per
son.
A Good Guess
The Smith-Douglas Fertilizer
Co. had a big pumpkin on exhibit
at the State Fair and offered a
number of prizes for those guess
let us accept the appeal of this symbol and make
a contribution worthy of the name we bear as
those who follow in His footsteps.
o
THE LOWEST SELFISHNESS
o
We heard a great preacher once speak of
the “higher selfishness”. It was what the Scrip
tures reveal in the coming of the Christ to re
deem a lost world, a world that had voluntarily
chosen sin. We heard only yesterday another
say that American Christians are pagan, that
their religion was selfish and materialistic.
We read lately a in popular magazine in its
leading editorial after picturing the terrible
things the Japs are are doing to Chinese women
and children: “after viewing these brutalities,
notwithstanding my seventy years, I would glad
ly shoulder a gun with millions of others if it
would stop such outrageous savagery.”
Then farther on he says: “If we could be
convinced that Japan’s ambition will never turn
in our direction, and that she will never attack
our cities as she has the Chinese, we could ig
nore the present hostilities.”
“We could ignore.” We have too many of
his sort in places of responsibility and authority
in our country. This creed: Take care of self,
look out for No. 1, I am not my brother’s keeper,
let the devil take the hindmost, and all such is
most likely the trouble with the world today.
The lowest selfishness is ruling and ruining the
race.
—o
WORSE THAN A FLY IN OINTMENT
o
Santa Claus coupled with Christmas has
robbed it of much of its spiritual beauty and ap
peal. Easter from its fighting eggs among small
boys to my lady’s Easter hat has thrown a
shadow over the most precious symbol hope to
the world. Linking Armistice Day with the
march of American Legion and martial music is
fast robbing an occasion intended to promote
peace on earth.
We heartily agree with Mrs. McCrary and
the ministers of Raleigh in protesting against re
fusing to taka part in the proposed Armistice
Day celebration in Raleigh. We believe they are
right. Let’s divorce every peace move from any
thing that reveals, emphasizes or suggests war.
The tramp of marching men in uniform stirs the
martial spirit even in children and drowns the
whisperings of peace.
ing nearest the number of seed it
contained. The actual number
was 589. Mrs. C. M. Rhodes, of
Zebulon guessed 589 and won first
prize. Mr. P. B. Copeland, of
Apex, guessed 588 and Mrs. Mary
B. Dowd, of Garner, guessed 587.
Some close guessing. Mrs.
Rhodes will get two tons of
Smith-Douglas fine grade fertiliz
ers delivered to her farm as the
award for being the best guesser.
DUFFEL BAG
We read that scientists propose
to make it possible for one to
grow beans in the bathtub. Which
will not be entirely an innovation
as many who know nothing of
science have made corn in the
cellar.
News comes that at Wake For
est a student was choked into in
sensibility and robbed of fifty dol
lars. When we were there the
fact of the robbery would almost
have been overshadowed by the
news that a student had fifty dol
lars.
