READERS' FORUM
Dear Sir:
The radio and newspapers again
herald the glowing progress of ?he
Democratic party as pointed out
by Col. William T. Joyner at the
Democratic Convention on May 20.
Schools and roads came in for the
usual favorable comment, and Gov
Cherry urged Democrats, in his
5-minute speech, to “join hands
like one great family and march
forward—to keep unbroken the
Democratic progress here in North
Carolina.”
For the state, the convention
called for further pay increase for
teachers and State employees,
State aid for building schools, in
creased health facilities; but in the
one 5 line paragraph devoted to
the liquor question, one reads:
“The committee skirted over the
liquor question in 30 seconds, after
taking one brief look at a telegram
from dry forces requesting a ref
erendum.” The request was ig
nored!
Dry lips will remain curled over
such continued and flagrant disre
gard of North Carolina democracy.
Truman’s Civil Rights Bill is
not the only wedge threatening to
divide the party. The drys in
North Carolina may well echo the
cry of the Israelites, saying, “What
♦ portion have we in David? to
your tents, O, Israel!”

The coming of telephones into

building on Horton Avenue.
Residents of Zebulon and the
surrounding communities were
watching the work progress with
enthusiasm, and many wondered
whether to add their names to the
list of over 150 who have requested
telephones.
Groundwork for the rura’ lines

vass the membership of the Cham
ber of Commerce to determine the
feelings of the group, and after
their canvass, he asked them to
make suggestions to the Board of
Directors as to the recommended
changes in the annual dues and
the concensus of the Chamber as
to a paid secretary.
Several of the members, includ
ing Philip Massey and William
Bunn, stated that if dues are rais
ed, they believe that some of the
present members will not renew
their memberships. They also stat
ed their belief that monthly dues
will be easier to collect than will
once-a-year fees.
Present for the business session
which followed a barbecue dinner
were Ralph Talton, Claud Dunn,

was partial to the Coley Hole and
the area just above J. W. Tarpley’s
mill.
During the war our fishing was
necessarily limited, but we used to
go crabbing off Guadalcanal and
also in the Admiralty Islands.
Some of the crabs would measure
3 feet and over from claw tip to
claw tip, and carried a lot of meat.
Crab meat is good, if you can just
manage to stand the odor while
you are cooking them.
There were also a lot of land
crabs on all the South Sea islands
which, believe it or not, used to
climb the palm trees and eat coco
nuts. They grew to an enormous
size, but they were not good eat
ing.
If we could only convince Mr.
S. and Mr. B. and Mr. R. and Mr.
F. what a blessing it would be
the people, of the community to
have phones, I think they would
consider the refusal they have
made and consent to have one
themselves, for it might save a
precious life sometime in emer
gency.
I hear that Mr. S. had to run to
a neighbor’s phone to call a doc
tor not long ago. Folks, it’s all
through when life is over and we
ought to make the best of it, ’cause
burying robes don’t have any
pockets and what we don’t use
while here the kids will lose in
law suits when we are gone.
Just think how nice it will be to

Herbert Howell, the well digger,
who is farming this year with Mr.
Nathan Horton, brought an oddity
into the shop last week: a full
grown cockleburr plant, with six
large burrs and six small ones.
“I have always heard before
that when the sheep burrs appear
ed, it was not long till frost,” Mr.
Howell said, “and all the unusual
weather so far this year makes a
fellow wonder!”
He said that he had plowed the
field the plant grew in since April
9, and that it is bound to have ma
tured since then.
A small girl was traveling up
the sidewalk yesterday on one i
skate, pushing as though sre were
riding a scooter. When asked why
she didn’t wear both skates she
pointed to another small girl
across the street who was skating
along in a similar fashion on one
skate, and said: “We own the
skates together so she uses one
and J use the other.”
