GAMBLING AT THE FAIR o We wonder why the state will allow the management of our fair to promote every sort of gambling from chance games to outright robbery, and then outlaw slot machines and not allow pari-mutuel horse racing. The great est argument for liquor stores was with many people the revenue derived from its sale. If all the gambling devices one saw at the state fair were allowed to operate through the year in this state the Louisiana State Lottery would be a shadow as to revenue compared with what would be collected from such gambling devices. We believe all these things are wrong at any time and in any place and that they should be pro hibited at our fair just as they are elsewhere in North Carolina. oOo THE STATE BUDGET COMMISSION No one envies the job of the State Budget Commission in Raleigh. Twenty-five state agencies are asking an increase of four and three-quarters millions of dollars for the next two years over the last two. The greater Univer sity is asking for an increase of over $2,000,000. There is no limit to the demands of public institutions for more money. Each year an in crease is given larger demands are made. Ex pansion in North Carolina should now wait a bit on debt paying. In only a few instances do we believe the Budget Commission should in crease what was given to state agencies and in stitutions the last biennium. Give the people a year of breathing from increased tax burdens so they may pay some of their own debts. oOo NEITHER CHEERFUL READING NOR GOOD READING BUT TRUE o In this day of civic consciousness and being brothers’ keepers it is discouraging to read such articles as the one quoted below from The Char lotte News. Just what should be done is not ours to know, much less to say. But it gives cause for much thought. o SURVIVAL OF THE UNFIT —o — Thursday Henry Mencken delivered himself of some remarks at Baltimore which will shock the tender-minded even more dreadfully than they are usually shocked by the shocking editor. He said that while the free services of Johns Hopkins Hospital to the poor were “valuable be yond computation,” that hospital was neverthe- SEEN AND HEARD ERRORS CAUGHT The office proofreader is some what worried over the linotypist who, in setting copy last week stated that Sherwood Brockwell spoke here on “Bible Prevention” instead of fire prevention; and who later on in setting minute copy made a committee state that every person should have a j«rsonal sense of failure in Christ, when they had put it “faith in Christ.” The proofreader fears some sub conscious influence was at work. THE ZEBULON RECORD, ZEBULON, NORTH CAROLINA, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 21,1938 WHAT WEEKLY CAN BEAT THIS? The Record is extremely proud of the fact that with one exception all members of the family of W. H. Chamblee are its subscribers—and it is believed that they read the pa per. It goes to the old home, where E. A. Chamblee lives with the parents; it goes also to D. D. ! Chamblee on R. 3; to Bayard Chamblee in Asheville; to Josiah in Richmond; to Donald in Wa verly, Va.; to Mrs. F. R. Conyers i (Clyda) in Rocky Mount; to Mrs. Guy Lee (Mazelle) in Smithfield; to Mrs. J. G. Terry (Estelle) in Ra leigh. less “the most brutally anti-social agency ever set up in Baltimore.” And proceeded to quote facts thus, 1 — Os 1,900 mothers annually delivered free by the Hopkins staff, 39.5 of the whites and 73.6 per cent of the Negroes are found to be “seri ously defective and feeble-minded.” 2 Exactly half the white mothers and 37 per cent of the colored are registered at the Bal timore Social Service Exchange as habitual or intermittent paupers. 3Os the whites more than 89 per cent, and of the blacks 86.1 per cent come from fami lies known to be afflicted by acoholism, mental aberration, or other major defects. 4Os the whites 3.6 per cent, and of the Negroes 22.6 per cent, had syphilis. 5 The records of the Johns Hopkins itself show that “the women who are being delivered of pathological specimens today are the daugh ters of pathological specimens who were deliver-; ed at the women’s clinic twenty years ago. Twen- 1 ty years hence their daughters will be back, ready with more syphilitic babies.’’ The Johns Hopkins immediately reported that Dr. Mencken had his facts correct. oOo IS MARRIAGE BARRIER! o Up in Massachusetts so much discussion has centered around the question of whether married women shall hold public jobs that it is to be a matter for decision by ballot. It is un derstood that the husband’s having a job is a major point in the arguments. Those favoring employment of married women insist that “the denial of service other than on the basis of ca pacity to perform the service” is against the best interests of all concerned; that in a democracy each person has the right to make her own de cisions. On the other hand opponents claim that the exodus of married women from places of business to their homes would go far to re lieve unemployment, since jobs left vacant might be given to those in need. They urge, too, that women are needed in the home more than are men. The reply is made that no one fears a child may be deprived of its father’s interest be cause he has work to do; and that the discrimi nation against married women as a class is es sentially unfair. The final report of the unemployment cen sus taken under direction of the last Congress states that women workers have exceeded by 2,740,000 the number expected to be employed. It is thought by many that this indicates an equal number of men out of work who might be given jobs were all the women workers sent home. However, the argument is not without fal lacy. A great number of women would prefer staying at home—if they had a home and some body to pay for running it. Often there is no one else to make the living, not only for the wo man worker, but for dependent children. What shall we say then? An ironclad rule would al low no exceptions. It is all puzzling and often discouraging. New occasions teach new duties, and these may frequently be performed to best advantage by women; but nobody wants the men crowded out. It is well-nigh impossible to do the best thing in every case, but the fact remains that in a democracy every citizen should have equal rights in finding and filling jobs in public or in private life. There’s loyalty to the home com munity and the home enterprises. LOOK In the front window at Sted man’s is a small sack, suposedly of flour, that slowly makes a cir cuit without visible support. Round and round it goes and so far no one has explained its movements. Look at it and form your own theory. Tracy Chears of Union county is changing his farm on Brown Creek into pasture for beef cattle. He has a small herd of Herefords on the farm now but plans to enlarge the herd this winter. 1 "\j/ i Hallowe’en Decorations Them at THE ZEBULON DRUG CO.
