WHERE ARE YOU GOING?
Only, it seems, a short time ago everybody was going
where he wanted to go. Plenty of gas, good tires, no re
strictions —the highways were crowded, resorts were filled,
movies bringing the back country to town. Well, everyone
thought this was a pretty good old world, and that we did not
need a better one.
Now things have changed. Our wants are a thing of the past,
and even necessities are difficult, if at all obtainable. Hus
bands and fathers and sons are on the go, but not as a little
while ago. Now with a stern, solemn face they go into the
sea, air and over land. Many go to meet —God only knows
what. Back home loved ones wait and hope and pray for the
providence of God to bring the absent back alive.
Only a short time ago most of us were satisfied with
life, with this world and things generally. As one thinks of
the whole situation, he decides that he does not care to live
in Japan, Germany. China, England, and if conditions grow
much worse even America will not be an enjoyable place in
which to live. The truth about it all is many of us are seri
ously realizing that the whole world is getting pretty bad as
a place of comfort and enjoyment. Our thoughts turn more
and more to “the house not made with hands.” And most of
us are realizing, too, that it is the only place in God’s uni
verse that is truly safe and sure. We believe that is just
what God is trying to teach us by all that he is letting happen
on the earth today.
So, if heaven is the only place in space now fit for habi
tation, a place prepared for those who are ready for it, had we
better not begin to get ready to move? If it is the only place
that is fit to live in, then when moving time comes, we would
like to have a through ticket prepaid.
WE AGREE—LET S DEFEAT IT
%
Dr. Clarence Poe at first favored the proposed Constitu
tional Amendment to form a State Board of Education. Now
he comes out in a very earnest plea to the voters to defeat
the measure. Also a State-wide committee is working to de
feat the proposal.
After giving the Amendment further consideration, we
are convinced that while the purpose is good the plan is bad.
It allows means by which the Board may become a strong po
litical force —a thing exceedingly bad for education. It also
so describes the character of the members such that the best
qualified people are eliminated from membership and those
not at all interested in education or well-qualified for the
place may be appointed.
Let’s defeat this amendment. Then the next Legislature
can prepare an amendment that will eliminate these objec
tionable features and incorporate such as will be acceptable to
the people of the State.
THE SECOND FRONT—NOW!
Mr. Willkie says that a second front should be established
just as quickly as possible. Winston Churchill says for peo
ple to stop complaining and agitating for a second front —
that it will be undertaken just as soon as can be done.
It seems that a second front is all important just now
from every consideration. It is needed to relieve Russia; is
absolutely necessary to win the war. All admit that it will
be established at a tremendous sacrifice of men. But if done
now while Germany’s principal forces are engaged in the East,
the opposition will be at a minimum. After the struggle in the
East is settled in some way Germany will be able to turn
thousands of troops, tanks and planes to the west.
It may require the loss of thousands of troops gaining a
second front; but delay may lengthen the till even mil
lions instead of thousands will be lost before victory comes.
Russia cannot win the war for the Allies. If she wins over
Germany she has indicated her safisfaction in seeing Russian
soil cleared of Germans. If Germany loses against Russia,
she has not lost the war, but will turn with all her forces to
the West.
We believe Mr. Willkie is right Somebody needs some

A GOOD LAW FOR ZEBULON
Below we are giving a proposed law to regulate (prohibit)
the sale of beer within the corporate limits of Zebulon during
Sunday. Filling stations sell beer and also cases sell it at all
hours during Sunday. Perhaps few of our citizens have no
ticed that this has become a considerable nuisance. Then, too,
we believe decency and respect for the day should lead 6ur
town commissioners to pass such an ordinance. We are sub
mitting this proposed ordinance to the mayor and his board
for their consideration and action at the suggestion of one
man who has been selling beer on Sunday and the approval of
a number of citizens. We trust they will act favorably on this
or some similar measure regulating the sale of beer. Since
cold drinks have been more difficult to obtain, the sale of
beer, which so far is not limited in its source of supply, has
increased rapidly.
Here is the proposed law regulating the selling of beer
on Sunday in our community:
Be it ordained that the sale of beer and wine be pro
hibited from Saturday night at 12:00 o’clock. Eastern War
Time, to Sunday night at 12:00 o’clock, Eastern War
Time, and the same is hereby prohibited within the cor
porate limits of the town of Zebulon.
The violation of this oj Tm,4iC' :s hereby declared to
be a misdemeanor within the jurisdiction of the Mayor
and Justices of the Peace. Any person, firm or corpora
tion violating the same shall be lined not more than $50.00
or imprisoned not more than thirty (30) days in the dis
cretion of the court.
This ordinance shall become -effectr’e Saturday night
at 12:00 o’clock, the day of , 1942.

Rationing Board
Says 9th Stamp
Good Till Dec. 15
The Sugar Rationing Board to
day received notification that ra
tioning stamp No. 9 will have a
I weight value of three pounds and
will be good from Nov. 1 to mid

Retail dealers must turn in No.
8 stamp within 10 days from the
date it expires. Wholesalers have
an additional 10 days to turn
their stamps in for certificates.
Small dealers can mail their
stamps in to the board for the
certificates to replace them, if
necessary.
Industrial users will be allowed
only 70 per cent of their regular
I base for the November-December
rationing period, and there will
not be a 10 per cent bonus as al
| lowed for July, August, Septem
ber and October, it was announc
ed.
Institutional users will be al
lowed 60 per cent of their base for
November-December. This is 1 0
per cent above the normal 50 per
cent of their base, but is 15 per
cent less than they were given for
the four-month rationing period
1 just ending. Institutional users
1 include drug stores, soda foun
tains, boarding houses and such
I places.
Public hospitals will be given 85
per cent of their base for the new
! rationing period. The ration will
not include private hospitals or in
stitutions not open to the genera)
public, it was announced.
It is stated that certificates may
be issued to industrial and insti
tutional users on or after Oct. 15
for new rationing period and until
Nov.s. Those who register after
Nov. 5 will suffer a reduction in
their allotment.
A notice received from the OPA
states that farmers and others will
not be allowed sugar for the pur
pose of home-curing of meats.
Regular industrial packers may se
cure sugar for this purpose, how
ever.
Flivver
(By Associated Collegiate Press)
With a cash outlay of only S3O,
Leonard Klusman. star athlete at
the University of Cincinnati, be
lieves he has solved his automo
bile and tire problems for the
; duration.
Klusman is the proud possessor
j ot two ancient flivvers and 11 tires
of equally antique vintage but all
in good condition.
This transportation bonanza was
acquired for S3O from a retired
! rural route mail carrier. Klusman
uses one of the cars, a 1921 model
which is two years older than its
new owner, to ride in, the other
as a source of replacement parts.
Five of the tires are on his car,
and the other six, all with good
treads, are safely stored away
Even if gasoline should be ra
tioned here, Klusman believes he
w 1 have less to worry about than
most car owners, since his jalop
| py gives exceptional “gas” mile
! age.
Klusman has only one worry as
far as his “new” 21-year-old car
lis concerned, He hasn’t yet been
able to persuade the girl friend
to ride in it, friends report.
