Page Two The Zebulon Record THEO. B. DAVIS, SR. Editor MRS. THEO. B. DAVIS, SR. News Editor Subscription: SI.OO per year; .60 six months Entered as 2nd class matter June 26,1925, at the Post Office at Zebulon, N. C. (By the GUESS EDITOR) THE NAVY GETS THEM YOUNG From John Earl May of Zebulon comes a request to the Navy Editor of the Record for the booklet on Life in the United States Navy. Interesting is the fact that John Earl May is but 11. AND IT’S DANGEROUS TOO Beginning next week we plan to publish a list of the license numbers from cars which double-park on Main Street. We firmly believe that in time of war it is the patriotic duty of all good Amercans not to frazzle the nerves of other good Amercans by hogging the street with a parked car even though only for a few minutes. Secretarial Duties Because the secretary is one of the most important officers of an organization and because there is a confusion of ideas as to the du ties pertaining to the office, the article below is reprinted from The Christian Science Monitor. It is well worth saving. Also worthy of note is the fact that minutes of a meeting are meant for mem bers and not for the public gen erally and therefore differ from a report of the same meeting pre pared for a newspapr to publish. In the paper it is best to suppress whatever might cause discord or misunderstanding, while it may be necessary to include it in minutes. Routine business of any meeting, such as roll call, reading of min utes, etc., is not news and should not be included in an account for publication. The Recording Secretary The recording secretary is the historian of the club. The secre tary's record, commonly called the minutes, is the most enduring thing about the organization. The minutes should constitute a record of what is actually done, not the opinion of the secretary. The amount of discussion and supple mentary motions that are included will depend on the custom of the society. Some clubs prefer very full minutes, others very scant. The secretary will have to learn these things and be governed ac cordingly. Good minutes should conform to the following rules: Always write the place and date at the top of the right hand page. Begin a new page for the min utes of each meeting. Write only on the right-hand page. The opposite page is for corrections. Leave a Margin Leave an inch margin at the left of the page. Use the margin for index notations. Indent the first word of each paragraph. Make a separate paragraph of each item. In the first paragraph, give the name of the society, the kind of meeting (whether regular, special or adjourned), the place of meet puars^ fCLIX POUBLE n ls GE # \ local dealer \ yiix DIVISION • CONI AD lAZOt aUM CO, INC J tONO ISLAND CITY, N. T. ing, and the date. Stat when and by whom the meeting was called to order, whether by the president, vice president, or temporary chairman, and give the name. If the regular secretary was ab sent, give the name of the person who was appointed secretary pro tern. If the reading of the minutes was omitted, explain why. Record each motion and the name of the mover, the disposition of the motion, whether carried or lost, postponed, or referred to a particular committee. Minutes should be written in the third person. Do not abbreviate. Use punctuation and quotation marks according to common us age. Minutes should be prepared in permanent form before being read and approved; otherwise there is no proof that the record is the one approved by the society. Minutes should be written in WENDELL THEATRE Sunday Shows 3 & 9 P. M. Week Day Shows 3:30 & 7 P. M.

They should be signed by the person who wrote them. The regular secretary, if present at the succeeding meeting, at which the minutes arc read, reads the minutes and also reads the name | that is signed, “ j Secretary pro tern." j While minutes should be brief they must contain all the essen tial facts. For instance, if dele gates were elected to a convention, j the minutes should state the names of the delegates, the full name of the convention, and the place and date. Test your minutes by this ques- ‘ tion: “Would a person, who was! not present at the meeting, gain i a comprehensive idea of it from these minutes?” Before the meeting, the secre tary should prepare for the presi dent a list of all business that is to come before the meeting. In the absence of both the pres ident and the vice-president, the secretary should call the meeting to order and ask the house to elect a chairman pro tem. The sec retary may not preside except dur ing the election. From the Censors Those who have relatives and friends in the U. S. armed forces and who want to write to them are asked by government censors to observe a few rules which will hasten the delivery of mail. First, remember that all letters must be opened and the contents approved or erased. Second, remember that your letter might chance to fall into the hands of spy or avowed ene my. Write nothing that will be helpful to them. Make letters short, thus speed ing the work of a censor who has not the time for too much family news. ( Write your address plainly on both outside and inside your let ter, also putting the name of the one who is to receive it inside the envelope as well as on the envelope itself.. The censor does not say so, but it may help the soldier to read little of so-called hardship at home or of criticism of what is being done. Don’t send a sad, weepy letter to a man who may already have about all to stand he is equal to. Bravery has its place at home as well as on the front.

BEHIND THE SCENES .. co 'BORROWED’ SALES —ln spite of increasing “spottiness' ’ in purchasing power due to disloca tions, retail trade for the nation as a whole shows startling activi ty for January. Instead of the cus tomary post-holiday slump, recent week have set all-time January highs—27, 32 and 45 per cent ahead of the record totals depart ment stores chalked up a year ago. Such a spending pace brings little jubilation to retailers, who know it’s mainly due to customers’ anticipating future shortages, and future declines in quality of mer chandise when the pinch of priori ties and substitute materials begins to be reflected in new goods on | the shelves. Thus the indications are that, in many lines of mer chandise, the unusually good Jan uary business has been “borrowed ' from the near future. WASHINGTON National income and industrial production, true to expectations, hit all-time peaks for 1941. Income was $92,- 200,000,000 —about 16 billions ahead of that year to which finan cial highs always are compared, 1929. As a guard against over enthusiasm at these statistics it may be mentioned that about one third of the gain over 1940 was absorbed by higher prices, and that If You Need JOB PRINTING In 1942 Now is the time to get it. PAPER STOCK IS ADVANCING RAPIDLY. It costs from 25 to 50 per cent more than it did a year ago. We Print Anything—Everything—in JOB PRINTING Right Quality—Printing—Price THE RECORD PUBLISHING COMPANY Zebulon, N. C. approximately 10 of those 92 bil lions went for munitions and things you can't eat or wear, etc. . . . The production index moved up from 139 to 168 meaning our industries produced one and two tflirds times as much as in the average year 1935-39. This 29- point gain was one of the largest ever recorded and, of course, the final 168 represents the highest rate of industrial production in American history.
