THE ZEBULON RECORD Volume XXVII. Number 17. Seen and Heard The powers of our classified ad vertising continue to amaze us. Two weeks ago Saturday, Harry Lee Bissette brought in an adver tisement of a car he had for sale. “Run it two times,” he told us. Two hours later he was back in to tell us that the car had been sold. Yesterday morning John Terry came in to advertise for two lost mules. Mrs. Ollie Pearce took the advertisement. Just as we were getting ready to set it up for to day’s paper, Mr. Terry came back in to tell us he had found the mules. It pays to advertise. • Vance Brown, our good friend and chief money-lender at Peoples Bank, was telling of a conversa tion he had with two Carolina stu dents who rode with him from Ral • eigh. Neither of the students had been in service, but both expected to be called, having passed the I. Q. exam for deferment by the skin of their collective teeth. One of the students, obviously the ambitious type, emphatically stated that he did not mind going into service, but he didn’t want to enter as a recruit, or private, “because they don’t get enough pay to do anything on.” “When I go in,” he declared, “I think I’ll go in as a lieutenant, or captain, or major. Then I’ll have enough money to go out on Satur day night and have a good time and slay the women!” • A budget is when the money runs out before the month does. • This happened at Wakelon, we are told. “What,” asked Coach Jim Fish of one of his history students, “are the three words used most by stu dents?” “I don’t know,” replied the sweet young thing. “That’s absolutely correct,” Coach Jim exclaimed. • “It’s for a special occasion,” a gentleman told Haywood Jones when he was selecting a gift at the drug store yesterday. “My wife’s celebrating the third anni versary of her twenty-ninth bith day.” • People who know it all never get wise to themselves. • Armstrong Cannady, chairman of the Jr. Board of Deacons at the Baptist Church, was happy over the prospect of the Board having a hamburger fry at Lake Mirl. “There’s something exciting about being out at night, in the woods, with the trees overhead.” “That doesn’t sound like a mar ried man,” murmured one of the male members of the Board. Industrial Meeting In aneffort to promote the in dustrial development in Wake County a special meeting will be held in the new offices of the Ral eigh Chamber of Commerce where representatives of the Raleigh, Fu quay Springs, Wendell and Zebulon Chambers of Commerce will dis cuss the ways and means of bring ing industries to the county. Representing Zebulon at the meeting will be Mayor Worth Hin ton, President Frank Wall of the Zebulon Chamber of Commerce, and Pat Farmer, member of the Board of Directors of the Cham ber of Commerce.
