THE ZEBULON RECORD Volume XXVII. Number 15. UNCLE SAM SAYS BETTER WATCH GRAFT, GREED When any fundamental part of any structure is weakened it calls for investigation and repair or re placement. When it is destroyed it brings disaster. A nation’s wealth is its life’s blood. The downfall of most na tions has been preceded by the depreciation of their currencies. Manpower and military equipment is of no avail if there is no means of feeding the men or servicing and supplying the machinery. One great English banker said, “Let me control the money of a nation and I care not who makes the laws for the nation, I will control the nation.” Parasites not only do not produce but they also destroy sta bility and the durability of the nation. This nation appears to be enter ing an era when all its resources of every kind may have to be taxed to the ery limit. It appears that over a long period the nation to survive must spend billions of dol lars for self defense. To succeed the nation must guard against al lowing its wealth to be siphoned off by internal parasites. Diverted Dollars Every dollar diverted from buy ing the means for self defense into political hand-outs or unnecessary payments of any kind or over pay ments of any kind is helping de stroy our national defense. The nation to remain free and independent must gird itself for a long hard battle. It must be wil ling to accept privation and self discipline. If parasites are to con trol the policies and direct the functions of the government the hope of freedom is lost. There must be a choice between a government for parasites or for loyal liberty loving people. Sheep Making Big Tar Heel Comeback Sheep are making a comeback in North Carolina. Extension animal husbandry specialists at State College say Tar Heel farmers have spent ap proximately $27,500 to buy new sheep stock during the past year. A large part of this was used for purebred animals. Right now, the specialists add, is a good time to start in the sheep business, especially for farmers who have good Ladino clover pas ture and a place to corral their sheep at night. The North Carolina Purebred Sheep Breeders Association, head ed by J. W. Norris, sponsored three sales during the summer at which 63 purebred rams were sold for $9,- 550 and 196 grade ewes brought $4,860. At a sale held this fall in connection with the State Fair, 37 bred ewes were sold for $6,138.- 30 averaging $165.90 per head. The top animal in the bred ewe tale, grown and consigned by Alex Meek and Son of Burkes Garden, Va., was bought by Wade Campbell of Taylorsville for $320. Legion Meeting The Zebulon American Legion Post will meet Wednesday at 7 p. m. at Privetts’ Case on the Rocky Mount highway where a barbecue supper will be served.
