In a special meeting called for Monday night by Mayor Avon Privette the financial condition of Zebulon was carefully considered. Since coming into office Mayor Privette has made consistent and continued efforts to reduce the in debtedness that has for so long burdened Zebulon, and a plan for refinancing has been partially put into effect with encouraging re sults. If this plan can be complet ed, it will materially decrease taxes; but there are conditions to be met before completion can be assured. The town is due from back taxes for the period from 1929 to 1937 approximately $25,000. Payment of this amount wou'd eventually reduce the tax rate. Repeated re quests for settlement have brought slight response. On Monday night it was decided to publish an ac count of the meeting of the town board and once more to request that all delinquent tax-payers make settlement at once. If this is not done, legal steps must be taken immediately to secure payment. This includes both real and per sonal property tax, poll tax and school tax—everything due the town. In fairness to the commissioners it should be understood that this step is in no sense personal; they act not as individuals, but as Zeb ulon’s business managers. It is Sincerely hoped that action by property owners may forestall any legal action by the town. A. S. Hinton Hurt On Monday at noon just as A. S. Hinton was ready to turn off the motor that ran the ripsaw he was using in his chair factory, he turned in a manner that caused him to hit his left hand on the saw. The ends of two fingers dropped into the sawdust, and their owner picked up a cloth, wrapped it around his hand and drove to the office of Dr. C. E. Flowers where it was found that another finger was so nearly severed part of it had to come off. Because of a heavy cold Mr. Hinton could not have an anaesthetic; but he stood the ordeal finely and is now in bed at home. He is certain that he will be able to resume his work as soon as his hand heals, his chief worry being that orders are being delayed by his accident. He is able to see friends who call, all of whom re joice that his injury was no great er. HALLOWE'EN FUN Wakelon School will hold a Hal lowe’en celebration on Friday night. There will be an old-fashioned square dance with music and a leader to call the figures. Booths will be open for varied fun-making devices. Prizes are offered for games and for the best costume. The public is invited. Proceeds will be for the athletic association fund. “Movie” is thought by lexicog raphers to be on its way toward becoming recognized as good Eng lish. CLUB COLUMN JUNIOR WOMAN’S CLUB The Junior Woman’s Club met on Thursday night of last week. Dorothy Jones, in charge of pro gram, presented Lonnie M. Knott of Wendell, who spoke most en tertainingly on “My Trip To Hollywood”. This trip was won by Mr. Knott by his forensic ability while in State College—and he has not allowed graduation to detract from the quality of his speaking. Esther Lee Cox gave a list of books selected for this year’s ex change. The club asks that all of last year’s books be returned as soon as possible. Ruby Dawson gave the member ship committee report and five new members were welcomed. They are: Mesdames G. J. Griffin, Frank Kemp and Claude Pippin; Misses Dorothy Toler and Clarice Fowler. An interesting report of the eighth district meeting was made by Mrs. Norman Screws. It was decided that this club will sponsor the Art Memory course at Wakelon giving a prize to the winner, and furnishing necessary materials. Mrs. Screws, Marie Watson and Dorothy Jones, hostesses, served ice cream, individual cakes and nuts during the social hour. ROTARY CLUB MEETS Last Friday night Mr. Moser spoke to the Zebulon Rotary Club on the subject of Industrial Rela tions. Mr. Moser stressed the aspect of international understanding in his talk. This pragram was as in teresting and informative as any heard by the club this year. Mr. Moser has given much thought to his subject and all those preseht were fortunate indeed to hear such an excellent talk. For the musical portion of the evening Mrs. M. C. Todd of Wen dell sang several familiar and love ly songs. Mrs. Todd was accom panied by Mrs. Haywood Scarboro also of Wendell. The music of these ladies was greatly appreciated and enjoyed. The attendance contest is still a dead heat, with records falling in all directions. CLEAN-UP WEEK The Garden Club of Zebulon, in an effort to improve both the ap pearance of the town and its sani tary conditions, asks that all cit izens cooperate in Clean-up Week from Oct. 31 to Nov. 5. During that time it is hoped that all premises will be put in good order and that vacant lots may be cleaned of weeds and junk. The town author ities will assist in every way pos sible in this campaign that more beautiful and more healthful sur roundings may be the result. Let each owner of property feel the re sponsibility of making it look its best. The word “hospital” should al ways have the first syllable ac cented; not the second. Do not say “hos-pittle”. NUMBER 17 YEFLAPDOODLE BY THE SWISHBUSKER Three weeks ago I wrote how a football sub feels sitting on a splintery bench. Two weeks ago I told of going to the State Fair. But this week I am befuddled. Os course, this is not the first time I have been in this embarrassing position, but before this I have always thought up something, even if it was no good, to force upon you. During this past week nothing of any interest to anybody has gone by. What I did didn’t even inter est me. Maybe that since I don’t have anything interesting to tell I could copy Mrs. Roosevelt slight ly and write a column called “My Week”. One big difference be tween the two would probably be that she gets paid for hers. Maybe I could write editorials in this space and do somebody a little good. The only draw-back is that I don’t know anything to editoria late about. Even if I did it probably wouldn’t be printable. There’s a third of this column taken up and I still haven’t gotten anywhere. Oh, yes . . . Don’t forget the Hallowe’en Party at the Wake lon gym Friday night. There’s to be a square dance along with the many booths. Probably the write up for it when it’s over will say. “A good time was had by all.” And there’s to he a feet-ball game Friday afternoon. Smithfield will be here to try to give an other defeat to Wakelon. If the Bulldogs win it will be their fourth victory this year. Tips to the lonely . . . Read the ads in magazines, newspapers, dime novels, etc., etc., and note how many of them give sure-fire ways to win a lady or gent’s heart. Listed among them are: Cigars, mouth-wash, chewing gum, powder, pills, deodorates, rouge and lipstick, hair-slickum, and an end less string of others. With all these helps it seems strange that anyone could fail at romance. Os course, there’s a vague possibility that these may not work, but it’s so small that they absolutely could not fail (or could they?). There’s a new type of ginger ale out now that contains Vitamen B-1. What value that is I don’t know, but the fact remains that it’s still there. It seems that the scientists are simply filling our food up with vitamens and pretty soon we’ll be able to eat ice-cream and get vitamens A, B, C, D, E, F, and on down to Z including vita men B-1. I’ve filled this column up with the most uninteresting things that I could find and if you finished reading it you’re a sucker. Sincerely yours, The Swashbuckler. HANNON’S SALE EXPANDS Frank Kannon is continuing his big Liquidation Sale of Surplus Goods and has even added extra in ducements and opportunities to buy good merchandise at lowest pos sible prices.
