THE ZEBULON RECORD Volume XXVI. Number 68. NEW AMERICAN SPORTS CAR Bgßy •• ■ *** jirflMCTmr' ’ V^H Just in case we have any readers who have so much money they are having trouble spending same, we are running this photograph of what is described to us as “America’s finest sports car.” It is called the Muntz Jet, and is manufactured by TV Engineer Earl Muntz. It accelerates from oto 80 miles per hour in 8 seconds, and cruises easily at 125 miles per hour with a 156-hp Lincoln V-8 engine. Oh, yes—we almost forgot: the price is $5500 plus taxes and extras. (We guess the extras come pretty high, since they include such items as built-in electric refrigerators!) REPORTER] Over Wake Forest way the Roy al Cotton Mill is having a little labor trouble. State Democratic Party Chairman Everette Jordan is the mill’s president, and U. S. Senator Willis Smith is a major stockholder. This strike doesn’t seem to be tied in with the general textile upheaval throughout North Caro lina and the South, other than the j fact that the union is the same. national outfit T. W. U. A. This trouble started some months be fore the Southwide outbreak. The Royal Cotton Mill workers had an election and voted for the union to represent them. Later the Na tional Labor Relations Board or dered the management to nego tiate with the union. Up to now there has been little negotiating and no meeting of minds.

It is obvious that a good mediator might help. So, why wouldn’t it be a good idea for Party Chairman-Mill President Jordan who piously proclaimed his neutrality in the senatorial election to ask that that well-known labor-manage ment mediator, Dr. Frank Graham, be sent to Wake Forest to see if he can’t help them work out a solution? Is It a Coincidence? Could it be a coincidence that the string of strikers and labor unrest throughout the State amply backed by T. W. U. A.’s million dollar organizing war kit ty comes at a time when North Carolina textile manufacturers have received government orders totaling more than $6,600,000? A Limit of SISOO For some time now there has been a limit of $1,500 that the State may pay for an automobile without authorization from the Governor and the Council of State. But last week’s neatest trick was the way Col. Landon C. Rosser talked the Council of State into upping the limit to $1,650 each for up' to 200 cars. It seems that the colonel felt (Continued on Page 10) Wad del Made It! Waddel Gay’s name was left off the Honor Roll for Mrs. Page’s grade. Waddell has made the Hon or Roll every time, and we regret that his name was not included. The vehicle was stopped only by hitting a car waiting at the drive way to enter Highway No. 64 in front of the school. Mrs. Richardson received a shoulder laceration requiring sev eral stitches to close, shock and contusions. Mrs. Underhill and Mrs. Vaughan suffered from shock and bruises.
