ON OUR WAY Many' persons have been led to believe that the Federal govern ment trimmed expenditures during the past year. Such is decidedly not the case. Expenditures have risen steadily (exclusive of the eVterans’ bonus in 1936) for the past nine years. Os late, govern ment revenues leaped to record levels, managed to narrow the def icit margin and thus create a fi nancial illusion that is dangerous ly misleading; for normally, smaller deficits would indicate ac tual economy. Take fo r instance the regular operating expenditures of the Fed eral government, which include legislative, judicial and civil estab lishments. They rose from $637,- 000,000 in 1933 to $814,000,000 in 1937. Likewise consider for a mo ment Public Works, which includes such items as public highways, re clamation, flood control, public buildings, etc. This rose without halt from $458,000,000 in 1933 to over $1,000,000,000 in 1937. And there is a popular belief that relief spending was recently rigidly curtailed. Yet official statements show that from 1933 to 1937, expenditures for unemploy ment relief, which include direct relief, work relief, and the Civilian Conservation Corps, also rose without halt from $395,000,000 to $2,446,000,000. If you do not believe these fig ures, take a look at the total esti mated Federal debt for the end of fiscal 1939—538,528,000,000. Com pare this to the total debt in 1931 —516,801,000,000. It takes no mathematical genius to see where the country is headed. And at the rate we are going it won’t take long to get there. THE ZEBULON RECORD, ZEBULON, NORTH CAROLINA, FRIDAY, MARCH 18,1938 EVEN COLLEGE GRADUATES MISUSE COMMON WORDS (From Linotype’s Shining Lines, Feb., 1938 Most of us have laughed at boners found in the examination papers of school children. Now we are given an opportunity to chuckle at college graduates. Henry Levy, a member of the Board of Examiners of New York City High Schools, in correcting a recent paper, ran across this: ‘ A mentor fell out of the sky at night.” That started Mr. Levy on a hunting expedition. We’ll share with you some of the boners he found. Keep in mind that these mistakes were made by college graduates, many of whom had tak en graduate work and held mas ter’s degrees. Here are just a few of the boners ho found: The tenets of the fly are germ carriers. Indigent matter cannot be eaten without serious consequences. A venial disease is love when unrequited. How venial, how delectable, is the grape. The dead man had wished to be cremated, and the increment scat tered to the winds. The increment was made at Holy Name Cemetery. After the errors were corrected, the story was ready for edification. The perfunctory organs are a great help to man. His tongue was his charlatan. The island appeared charlatan in form. He was known as an indigenous or hard worker. The river reflected the blue of the indigenous sky. The vessel was captious and the captain found great difficulty in clearing the reef. She was freed by the gangster because she was a captious blonde. Having laid the oranges in a row, he proceeded to excoriate their skins one by one. NO DEGRESSION There is no depression now ex cept in the minds of false prophets and on the tongues of those who would mislead, declares C. L. New man in the current issue of the Carolina Co-operator. “And there is no occasion for a depression,” adds the Associate Editor of the Carolina Co-operat or, pointing out that there is a surplus of food, feed and raiment. Just to be on the safe side, how ever, Mr. Newman lists these sev en things which he says are guar anteed to keep away any roaming depression that might pay a visit to North Carolina farmers in 1938 or 1939. 1. Raise enough meat of not less than three kinds for home needs for more than a year and some surplus to sell. 2. Produce enough pasturage, hay, forage, and grain to supply all needs until June, 1939. 3. Provide a gallon of milk per day for each member of the family for every day jn the year. Make a surplus of butter to cook with. 4. Raise enough poultry to pro vide a dozen eggs per day and a “chicken dinner” at least twice a week. 5. A year-round garden for fresh green and mature food plus a supply of fruits and vege tables preserved in several ways. 6. Make the home comfortable and beautiful inside and out.

ZEBULON CHAIR FACTORY ZEBULON, N. C. his ML As a telephone installer and repairman, he knows that the less you need him, the more satisfaction you get from your dependable telephone service. He wages a battle with sleet, rain and wind, as well as with lesser troubles, such as carelessness in leaving the receiver off the hook which may require a personal visit by him. He is winning his battles, too, for back of him in the constant effort to make your service more and more free from imperfections, errors and delays are the scientists in the Bell Telephone Laboratories who con tribute the research; the Western Electric Company, which makes and distributes high quality, standardized equipment; and the training activi ties of his own group, which helps him to be more expert and efficient on the job. It is a man-sized job. There were 1,079,692 Southern Bell telephones in service at the end of 1937. But they didn’t all “stay put," for installer* connected 236,788, disconnected 159,284, and moved 106,512, this latter 1 •tep requiring both a “connect” and "disconnect” operation.
