THE ZEBULON RECORD, ZEBULON, NORTH CA ROLINA, FRIDAY, MAY 13,1938 TT&O (Continued from front page) were all there, and I re-read a few passages which were included in what I wanted to say. Just beyond Knightdale a lady arose from across the aisle and took a seat just behind me. She seemed very pleasant and began asking me questions. In reply I said yes, it was quite warm; that I was on my way to Raleigh; no, I didn't live in Wendell but merely took the train there; yes, that was a Bible she saw me take from the bag and read for a while; yes, I try to teach a class in Sunday * School. Then I was asked whether my husband was living, and ad mitted the fact. “O,” said the lady, “I am so glad he is alive. I looked over here at you and said to myself, ‘she is a widow’, and I felt so sorry for you, because it is very sad to see one grow old alone.” I told her it might be weariness and a black dress making me look like that; it was not be reavement. But somehow I felt rather aged and depressed the rest of the day and all of the next, even though not alone. Recorder’s Court (Continued from front page) the June term of court, which was granted on condition that he pay the cost. Oliver seems to have set a bad example, for the very next case was one in which Orren Ferrell was charged with some other than love licks on his wife. Admitting he did, the court did: Sixty days suspended sentence on the state highway on condition he violate not the criminal laws of the state for one year. As a sort of after thought, the judge told him he would also have to cough up the costs. Sidney Barnes armed himself for a special emergency with a black jack and sallied forth to see what he could see and do. The law nabbed him, the court tried him and he departed with $5.00 less, plus costs. Not satisfied with one tussle with the law, he was accused of forming a combine with one Zeno Ward. Putting on a patched boot, getting into a car, he was accused with Zeno of pay ing a visit to Eugene Jones’ smoke house. They carried, the court claimed, three hams away. The officers declared to the court that the tracks were those of Sid ney’s car and his patched boots. But he had the most witnesses or the best lawyer and was released unconditionally. Zeno did not fare so well. He admitted that they got the meat. Fearing if Sidney sold all he would keep all, Zeno took the larger piece and visited in Raleigh, realizing $4.00 gross from his part of the booty. He also got three months on the roads, said sen tence to begin Oct. 5, after he had finished making his crop. Wavery Townes had two charges lodged against him, and the court succeeded in pinning both on him. It is bad enough to have bad brakes, but to be both drunk and driving a car with poor brakes— well, that is just too bad. A SSO fine was levied against him along with the costs and the decree that he operateth not a car for one year. “Boots” Wiser said he had been carrying a pistol in his boots, britches or some other place about his person. The judge sentenced him to 60 days on the roads (just to scare him, we suppose, as courts usually do in such cases) and then changed the verdict to $50.00 and the costs. The court allowed him the privilege of let ting J. T. Gay, his landlord, pay the fine and costs on terms ar ranged between the two. Marshall Liles, young man from Wendell, had three charges lodged against him, driving under the in fluence of liquor, careless and reckless driving and transporta tion of tax paid liquor. It was proved that he only acted like he was drunk on tax paid liquor and was just driving careless like. He must have been a good actor, for the judge “paid him off” by put ting him on probation one. year, taking his driving license away, and forbidding his driving a car for one year. Playground News Now that school is out we will have our morning playground each day except Wednesday at 10 o’- clock, —and every afternoon at 3:30. There will be a picnic at the mill Friday evening. Children who wish to go will meet at the playground at 5 o’clock Friday with a picnic lunch. o* We are planning a well rounded summer program, including soft ball games, woodwork, picnics, etc. Children are urged to come to the playground for supervised play.

Your Old-Age Insurance Why Workers Should Have Social Security Account Numbers More than 757,431 men and wo men in North Carolina now have Social Secutity account numbers. A few workers who could quali fy for old-age insurance and who have not as yet secured their So cial Security account numbers re main in this State. Each worker in covered employ ment should have an account num ber whether he is the only em ployee, or is one of a hundred. Workers in small establishments such as barber shops, bootblack parlors, bakeries, drug, grocery, or I general merchandise stores, ser vice stations, as well as employees of doctors, dentists, lawyers and of other professional people, are included. Each wage-earner must have an account number in order that his Social Security account may not be confused with any other. Em ployers must know the account number of each and every person on their pay rolls, because they must give those numbers when they make their wage reports to the Government. The amount of each employee’s wages is credited to the Social Security number bearing his number. His wages are posted on this ledger. The total amount of wages re ceived by an employee on jobs cov ered by the Social Security Act, from the last day of 1936 until he is 65 years old, will be used in cal culating the amount of his old-age insurance payments when such ben efits fall due. Application blanks for em ployee’s account numbers can be obtained from any post office or from any ofifee of the Social Se curity Board. Questions concerning old-age in surance may be sent to this paper or to Stacy W. Wade, Manager of the Social Security Board office at 404 Commercial Building, Ral eigh, N. C. Answers will appear in this paper. GENERAL NEWS PAPERS BANNED As one means of controlling the situation in China Japanese author ities in captured territory have forbidden the Chinese to read news papers published in the Chinese language. Men have been arrested for disobeying this order. PLAYING FOR STAKES At Battle Ground Academy, Franklin, Tenn., students each year play a game of marbles with the faculty for opponents. Should the students win, they are to have a holiday from school. But not once for the years the game has been played has the faculty lost, and the pupils must go from the game to classes. OYSTERS SICK According to a report made last week at the Academy of Science in session in Raleigh, oysters along the coasts of North Carolina and Virginia are suffering from an epi demic of paralysis. They have a disease that makes them unable to close their shells and renders them an easy prey for their enemies. It is caused by a parasite that enters the gills and thence the blood stream. HE WENT A-FISHING A Vermont minister is in poor standing with his congregation be cause on a fine Sunday recently he secured a substitute to fill his pul pit and went fishing. The church trustees are undecided what action to take. BETTER SANITATION NEEDED In stressing the importance of better sanitation, Dr. A. C. Btulla, of Wake County’s Board of Health, declared that if the county’s 12,000 families would spend ten minutes a day working around the home to improve living conditions, and to beautify their surroundings, health conditions and safety would gain much. Working in the back yard may be far better than sitting on the front porch.
