Let’s Call an End to This Stull
By Barrie S. Davis
How nice it would be to be back
in sunny Italy, where all I had to
worry about were a few Germans
who took pot-shots at me as I
buzzed around European skies.
Life was not complicated by an
over-abundance of Leap-year las
sies sending torrid notes of love
my way. Once I figured that gals
wouldn’t go with me because they
didn’t like me; but the past few
weeks have proved beyond a doubt
that some few of them do or
would like to, anyhow.
The net result of it all is that
postman has been working a little
harder sorting my mail, and now
I’m staying to myself because I’m
scared of the fair sex.
Just this week I received more
letters threatening me with the
dangers of infernal matrimony. In
spite of the attractive offers, I
have decide to take the advice of
a wiser and older person, who
seems to know whereof she speaks.
At least I’ll take her advice for
a while. She says:
Dear Mr. Davis:
The issue of the Zebulon Record
of April 23, 1948, has recently
come to my attention; although I
do not usually commit my thoughts
to paper, I feel a very close kin
ship with you and your problem.
When my children showed me your
column of April 30, I knew that I
must lay aside all reticence and
write to you immediately.
Please accept my sympathy for
the embarrassment and mental
anguish you have suffered; al
though I am a white-haired wom
an, I blush for my sex when I read
those pathetic letters written by
frustrated women. In my day a
young woman chose a suitable
companion for life and through
sublety and maidenly delicacy

New Marathan Tires
Announced by Eddins
Introduction of a new Marathon
line of passenger automobile tires
to this trading area is announced
by Sidney Eddins, Manager of the
Zebulon Motor Company Service
Station.
“The new Marathon”, says Mr.
Eddins, “provides a line that com
bines excel fit mileage and trac
tion at prices -veraging substan
tially less than 'nose now pre
vailing for most tir f! in compara
ble sizes.
“Included in the A sizes of
Marathons now available are the
5.25; 5.50-17; 6.00-16; 6.50-15;
6.50-16; popular sizes in a range

made him aware of her feelings.
I for one did not permit Mr. R to
hold my hand until we had been
keeping company for almost two
years; during the entire period,
however, he was aware of the
warm regard which I had for him.
Apparently you have now reach
ed your middle years; since you
did not marry in your youth, my
advice to you is to remember your
Mother— or a maiden aunt may
someday need you and you and
she may build a full life together.
I tried to impress this upon my
own sons, but I am sorry to say
that I failed- All of them married
modern young women; however,
Georgie, my youngest, manages to
spend a great deal of time with
his Mother.
I beg of you to think before you
give encouragement to these de
praved young women; I have al
ways thought that my own
daughters-in-law were not entire
ly concerned with matters of the
heart when they married my sons.
If, and when, you do marry, I
only pray that you will find a wife
like my own fine daughter.
Your well wisher,
AMELIA R.
There you have it. Henceforth
I shall do all in my power to dis
courage these she-wolves that
would have me yield to their de
sires. A look at my face will
probably be all that is necessary.
Every morning I shall take hard
exercise so that I will have the
strength to hold them off or
failing that, to hold them tightly.
Next week the Zebulon Record
will use this space for lighter and
gayer matters. With a word of
thankr, we bid the rumor which
started all this and the problem it
developed a fond fare-thee-well.
Net result: Barrie Davis likes

of them!
15 years.
“The original Marathon line of
tires for passenger cars was in
troduced in March, 1938, but its
production was discontinued dur
ing the war emergency. The Mar
athon had attained widespread
populdHty by 1942 and its return
will be welcomed by thousands of
motorists.
“With the Spring driving season
just opening up, motorists are
having their cars checked over,
and many of them are going to
find out their present tire equip
ment needs replacing before any
considerable amount of driving is
possible.
“The new Marathon is just the
tire for this purpose, and in ad
dition to being handsome in ap
pearance has a wide tread, pre
senting a good wearing surface to
the road and prolonging tread life,
has the new-grip non-skid, com
bining all the advantages of mul
tiple long-wearing ribs with deep
nonskid design,” Mr. Eddins said.

Tractors May Replace
Old Dobbin on Farm
Can the farm tractor completely
replace Old Dobbin?
Maybe not, but modern power
machinery can be put to much
wider use than at present on
North Carolina farms, says the ag
ricultural engineering department
at State College. And to prove its
point, the department last week
took to the fields in nine counties
to show farmers the latest mech
anical equipment used in cotton
and corn production.
Using a five-acre demonstra
tion field in each of the counties
selected, the department will uti
lize tractors and other machinery
in planting and cultivating row
crops. The planting demonstra
tions began in Richmond County
April 19. Each field will be visi
ted two weeks after planting for
the first demonstration in mech
anized cultivation.
In announcing the demonstra
tions, J. C. Ferguson, Extension
specialist in agricultural engin
eering, said North Carolina farm
ers are now operating approxi
mately 35,000 farm tractors, but
of this number probably not more
than 20 per cent are being used
for planting and cultivating row
crops.
“Less than one tractor in every
10 is being utilized in all of its
capacities, as evidenced by the

fact that workstock is still main

Ferguson said.
The demonstration in corn pro
duction is being conducted in Nash
County, while eight demonstra
tions in cotton production are be

Hoke, Cumberland, Harnett,
counties. The demonstrations will
Wake, Edgecombe, and Halifax

vations, on schedule, until the
crops are laid by in mid-summer.
