Page Eight A Man of His Word Governor Scott is keeping his word to the people who elected him. He is standing squarely behind his campaign pledges, fighting for all the people of North Carolina. It is the hope of all the little people of the state that he will con tinue to wage their battle The American Revolution has been fought all over again all over America. This time on the debate platform by a visiting team from Cambridge University which has been willing to argue impartially on either side of the prop osition that “the world would be happier had not the Ameri can revolutionaries left the British Empire.” Hot Campaign Ahead Senator Larkins and National Committeeman Daniels must feel great satisfaction at the success of last Saturday night’s Jackson-Jefferson Day-dinner. The event raised over $25,000 for the Democratic Party, and brought a fine speaker to North Carolina in Representative Rayburn, who vigor ously defended the Fair Deal of President Truman. To us the most significant happening of the evening, however, was the tremendous ovation given William B. Urn stead when Speaker Rayburn paid tribute to his former colleague. In volume and duration it exceeded the total applause given all other dignitaries present. Both Umstead and Broughton supporters agreed last year, before and after the primary, that the late Senator Broughton was the only man who could have defeated Mr. Umstead for the high position. Mr. Broughton won. Judging from this straw in the wind, there is today no one who can defeat Mr. Umstead, should he be a candidate for the Senate in 1950. On the other hand, those attending the dinner were largely professional politicians. Their feelings do not neces sarily represent the sentiment of the people back home — just a year ago all the professionals were on one side with the people on the other. Undoubtedly many people feel that for the first time they have a personal representative in the United States Senate, and farmers now indifferent to Sen ator Graham may flock to his banner if he proves their strong friend in months to come. Question of Consistency Just a few years ago REA leaders roundly denounced the Carolina Power & Light Company for building “spite lines.” They designated these rural transmission units of the utility as spite lines” because, according to the REA spokes men, they duplicated lines planned by electric co-operatives. Now the REA proposes to build with government money transmission lines which will duplicate facilities already in operation by the light company, upon which the company pays taxes. Aparently the REA does not believe what is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander. Things being what they are, the REA may, through such inconsistency, get its duplicate lines, but such action will certainly not be reassuring to the general public. Governor Kerr Scott has been criticized recently for his unbending attitude toward proposals to butcher his rural roads program. He has been urged to compromise, to accept crippling amendments to the bond issue proposal, to take a little bit instead of nothing. To date he has not wavered, and we do not believe he will. Toward Friendly Relations The surrender of Cornwallis is as nothing compared to the conquests of the silver-tongued Cantabrigians. With subtle logic they argue: ‘lf you had remained with us a while longer, we would have been able to improve your speech. Instead of lifting your hats in elevators, you would be elevating your hats in lifts.” Whether you call this high-hat talk or an elevating in terchange of amenities may depend on something more than your attitude toward the King’s English. It may depend on your attitude toward that revolution through which the United States lost England. Yet so long as visiting Englishmen elevate their hats, rather than their eyebrows in the presence of stately Daugh ters of the American Revolution, and so long as touring Yanks lift their lids, but do not curl their lips, in the presence of cockney maidens who have come out without their h’s, the cleavage begun in 1776 can be bridged by a gallantry that speaks louder than wars—Christian Science Monitor.

Scripture lesson: Mark 10:13-16, 34-40. Jesus continued his ministry in Perea, across the river from Je rusalem, on his last journey to the holy city. On this trip he taught some of his finest lessons. We study two of these lessons next Sunday. In the first little children were brought to him to be blessed. His disciples sought to spare the Savior the supposed burden of discourse with mere children, but Jesus seized the oc casion to bring home an important point.. Whoever does not receive the kingdom of heaven with the sin cerity and humbleness of a little child, he declared, shall not enter that kingdom. By Ruth Current Clothing specialists say it is the number of stitches per inch, the type of thread, the quality and kind of fabric, and the kind of stitch that affect the wearability of buttonholes. The number of stitches is of first importance and the right kind of thread is an other important factor in long wearing buttonholes. Buttonholes made with unmercerized thread are more resistant to wear than those made with mercerized thread, the specialists say. The kind of fabric and the kind of stitch used also affect wear. On medium quality percale, but tonholes should be longer than on higher or lower quality per cale. The so-called purl stitch is I suppose that the mayor and town board of Zebulon do not often walk on the sidewalks of our town. - We are proud of hav ing made many improvements on the streets, but those of us who do not have cars and are confined to sidewalks wish so much that something could be done to make walking easier and nearer safe. Some of the sidewalks have holes, Farm Home Hints Letter to the Editor The second lesson was the ne cessity • for Christian service. James and John, the sons of Zebe dee, requested Christ to allow them to sit, in his time of glory, at his right and left, in token of the great assistance they had ren dered his program in this life. Christ rebuked them, saying in effect that friendship could not give them what they asked; like anyone else, they would be judged at the final reckoning by their good works, their Christian ser vice. Thus he condemned personal ambition. Foregoing personal ambition re sults in personal salvation. If we are to live successful lives by a standard other than a finan cial measure, we must absorb these two lessons. First we must be childlike in spirit; then we must be Christlike in service. better than the whip stitch for making buttonholes wear. Potatoes boiled or baked in their jackets offer important dividends, especially in vitamin C. over those pared before cooking, nutrition studies show . If you want to serve potatoes without their skin, re move it after cooking rather than before, the food specialists sug gest. This may save time as well as nutritive value because skin ning a hot boiled potato is quicker and easier than paring a raw po tato. Carrot skin seems to give little or no protection to nutritive value in cooking. Many housewives pre fer to leave the skin on young, small, tender carrots some have big exposed roots of trees that cause old pe< pie and children to stumble, and some times to fall. It would not take very much time nor money to remedy con ditions and we walkers want it done. We are thinking of asking for expressions from candidates about this matter before our next town election. Walking Citizen Friday, April 8,1949 Personal Items J. R.
