Seen and Heard
Wife Judy said that for the
first time she was glad Christmas

it tremendously, but having it be
hind is a relief. That, a mother of
five told her, is the result of hav
ing a son.

ting the steps to music.
A news story reveals the in
teresting information that in North
Carolina there are 27,719 more
women than there are men. From
appearances, most married women
do not realize how fortunate they
are. If they did not have their
present spouse, they would be bat
tling against odds in obtaining an
other. The chances of a high
school girl getting the man of her
choice grows slimmer as the ratio
of women to men goes up.

Bernice Bunn dropped by the'
town office to pay his town taxes
the other day and dropped a check
for ovter $1,500.00 on the desk. Mrs.
Hopkins glanced down at the
check very casually and asked:
“Do you want to pay your water
bill?” Bernice gagged and then
responded with one of his famous
earth-shaking whoops.

Children are sad about classes
resuming at school; but mothers
are happy enough to make up for
it.

An article the other day told of
a mother of triplets who had to
spend seven hours a day feeding
the three. Knowing die time it
takes to feed one, seven hours
seems a very conservative figure
for the time to feed three. Three

THE INSURANCE MAN
The Zebulon Record
is an awkward number of children
to have. A mother can sometimes
handle one or two. And if she
has five or more, the family’s fi
nancial worries are over. With
three she has triple trouble in one
dose.
•
The scarcity of rental apart
ments in Zebulon is alarming.
There are an unusually small
number built especially to rent.
We asked the other day why some
body didn’t make themselves some
money by building rental proper
ty, what with the rents being paid
nowadays. “Why don’t you do it?”
was the question which bounced
right back at us. And, after men
tally noting the condition of our
post-Christmas bank account, we
think we have the answer.
•
The atomic-bombs and superson
ic weapons are beyond comprehen-1
sion. But when the army starts
talking about guns that will shoot
around corners, they really cap
ture my interest. This new devel
opment caught my favorite de- ]
tective flat-footed, it seems. Dick
Tracy has got to go some to re- j
gain his place in my esteem, even
though he does have a wrist
watch radio.

Every home-owner needs one of
the new shoot-around-the-corner
guns. Can’t you see father as he
sneaks down the stairs, to investi
gate noises which sound like a
burglar going through the silv'er
chest. Father sneaks up to the din- j
ing room door, edges along the
wall, pokes the end of the barrel
into the living room, and blasts to
pieces the ugly China vase Aunt
Myrtle gave last Christmas, the
picture of great-Uncle Zeke hang
ing over the fireplace, Grandma
Susan’s crystal whatsis, and the
crocheted shawl Mother wore to
milk the cows in 1927. You know,
those guns might not be such a
bad thing to have around the
house.
