THE ZEBULON RECORD Vpl- XXVT. Number 23 EQUALITY ? IM ts il * ; _. fjgfeffr i !.r?^ -A&CAPITAL REPORTER The beer boys are going to try for the jackpot in the 1951 Gen eral Assembly. They’re going to try to put 3.2% brew in each and every one of the 100 counties. Via the grapevine comes word that the beer barons are not sat isfied with the local option vote on sale of beer they get beat too often to suit them. So they’re going to try to put through a state-wide bill making it legal to sell the 3.2 beer in every county. The first step, or perhaps in the preamble of the bill, will be to get the 3.2 declared “non-intoxicating.” In other words, they’ll say it’s just about as inno cent as the “near beer” of prohibi tion days. Actually, I’m told, the beer be ing sold in those North Carolina counties which have legal beer sales is very little if any above the 3.2% alcohol mark. And, if any of you have an doubts that 3.2 beer won’t get folks to feeling pretty frisky, ask some of the boys in the service. Most PX’s sell beer on army posts, and it’s supposedly 3.2%. But it does right well in the way of making By Ruth Current Chilled juices, popular first course at breakfast, are tangy waker-uppers that go well with the hot dishes on most morning menus. And some juices —if the portions are generous are im portant in providing much of the day’s vitamin C. If you rely on fruit juices for vitamin C, it’s well to check your choice for its vitamin C content, say nitrionnists Rich in this vita min is fresh orange juice, they point out. But all citrus juices rank high frozen and canned orange juices, and the various forms of grapefruit and tangerine juice. Tomato juice is another good source of vitamin C, though it takes more than twice as much canned tomato juice to match can ned orange juice. Extra vitamin C is sometimes added to apple juice and other canned bottled, and frozen juices which are short on it. These fortified juices may Farm Home Hints a lot of the boys feel no pain. The beer boys have contacted most of the incoming legislators, and reportedly are boasting that th6y have enough of the lawmak j ers on their side to get the state wide 3.2 beer sale bill through both House and Senate. • The Governor last week said in effect that grafting had been pret ty common in the Prison Depart ment for years but that breaking it up would take “at least two years.” He said breaking this up would save the State millions of dollars. He hit at critics of the adminis (Continued on Page 4) Business Improving At Croom's Station J. B.

If your breakfast juice is short on C, be sure to get this vita min in some other dish or later in the day. Vitamin C is one of the essentials for keeping tissues in good condition. It is needed daily because the body can’t store much of this vitamin. Don’t confuse diluted “ade” drinks with juice concentrates which you restore to natural strength with water Fruit drinks diluted with water which come in cans, bottles, or cartons may be re freshing for between-meal snacks but usually don’t provide much vitamin C. It water is named first in the list of ingredients on the label, there’s more of it than fruit juice in the mixture. Powdered fruit-flavored drinks, which re quire added water, are usually synthetic, as you can tell from the label, so are not vitamin C i providers. *’ N.

That’s exactly what a Hertford County Negro farmer, Alpheus Gat’ing of Route 1, Murfreesboro, did this year. Gatling, who has qualified sev eral times for the State 100 Bush el Corn Club, came up recently with 10 single hills (suchers in cluded) that produced 51 full ears of corn from eight to 12 in ches in length and filled to the tip.

Zebulon Shivers in Below Freezing Temperatures As Water Pipes Burst Zebulon joined the rest of North Carolina as it shivered under the icy blasts of wind that brought the winter’s coldest weather to this community. The bottom was knocked clear out of the thermom eter as the mercury dropped to an all-time November 25 low. The extended seige of cold held temperatures well below freezing Saturday and Sunday and several water lines around town finally gave way as they froze. Theo.

W. A. Counselor, is arranging for a study course at the Baptist Church on Thursday night of this week, be ginning at 7:00 o’clock. Though planned primarily for the younger women and girls, all members of the W. M. S. are invited to attend. The book, “So This Is Africa,” is unusually interesting, enlivened by touches of humor that make it en tertaining as well as informative and is recommended for use by both organizations. Mrs. Temple, assisted by some of the Y. W. A. group, will present I the first part of the book and Mrs. Theo. Davis will have the last ■ chapters. There will be an inter mission with refreshments. Even hot lines in sever al homes froze solid, and home owners were at work with torches thawing them out. The sudden drop in temperature Friday night and Saturday morn ing caught many unprepared, and the ice which covered the high ways in places made driving haz ardous. By Monday temperatures were rising slightly and fair weather was in prospect.
