Uncle Ferd's Almanac To start today’s almanac off on a jolly note, I will inform you that 400 years ago today the Duke of Somerset was behead ed for felony, and 63 years ago today the French decided to give up on the Panama Canal. Eleven years ago tonight the Zebulon Chamber of Commerce observed ladies’ night with a banquet. Speeches were made by Rom Moser and Leon “Hoss” Thompson. One year ago *today a son was born to Mr. and Mrs. Neil Goodnight of Gastonia. (Mrs. Goodnight is the former Louise Johnson, daughter of Mrs. B. H. Johnson and granddaughter of Pittman Stell). Sixteen years ago today Mrs. Irby Gill was hostess to her Zebulon, N. C., Tuesday, January 22, 1952 Few Farmers Pay Income Taxes, Rotarians Are Told “There are so many deductions which can be made that few far mers pay income tax,” Ed Elling ton told the Zebulon Rotarians in a talk on the farmers’ income tax problems Friday night. With com petent help in completing his re turn, the farmer seldom is requir ed to send an income tax payment to the Treasurer of the United States. Many farmers, Ed continued, have never filled out a return, al though more and more of them are finding it necessary to complete the return. A list of questions from farmers concerning their tax problems was read by the speaker to show the complicated nature of a far mer’s income tax return. The talk provoked considerable discussion by the Rotarians, and casse were cited where farmers who had been long delinquent in filing their income taxes were re quired to pay taxes and penalties up to SIO,OOO. With the March 15 deadline for tuns nearing, the talk proved especially interesting to the Rotar ians. Larry Whitehead, Rotarian from Abilene, Texas, was a visitor. Wakefield Missions Group Has Meeting Wakefield’s Circle No. 2 of the W. M. S. met in the home of Mrs. Berdon Eddins Friday night, Janu ary 18th, with Mrs. Herman Ed dins as joint hostess.

Eastern Star A regular meeting of the Eastern Star will be held Thursday night, January 24, at 8 o’clock in the Ma sonic Hall. Worthy Matron Cleo Perry announces that an initiation will be conducted. bridge club, and seventeen years ago today Avon Privette returned home after a stint at Rex Hospital, Raleigh. Lord Byron, who was once considered quite a lad with the ladies and is still thought quite a poet, was born 164 years ago today; that’s good, I suppose, but more interesting is the fact that 61 years ago today there began a great coal strike in Rus sia —a pity the Russian army cannot do likewise today! Weather outlook: The infal lible Davis forecast is snowfall not later than January 29. We had a lightning display along with Sunday morning’s shower, and everybody knows that if it thunders in winter, we'll have snow in nine days. FUNERAL HERE % ' Amos C. Dawson, active citizen of the Zebulon community for 30 years, died January 15. Mr. Daw son was Deacon Emeritus of the Zebulon Baptist Church, and was a Sunday School worker and church clerk for many years. 4-H Clubs Help Keep N.C. Green North Carolina 4-H Club mem bers are doing their part to help keep the Tar Heel State green. * ; So far this year 4-H boys and girls have planted a quarter of a mission loblolly pine seedlings fur nished them by the North Caro lina Pulp Company. In all, 187 members in 27 counties have or dered 250,450 seedlings. Other 4-H’ers who would like to plant loblolly seedlings this season should get their orders in right away, says John E. Ford, as sistant forester for the State Col lege Extension Service. The seed lings are offered free to both white and Negro club members in Cas well, Guilford, Davidson, Rowan, Cabarrus, Mecklenburg, Gaston, and all counties east of this line. Ford says any 4-H’er in this area who has a suitable place to plant them may obtain up to 5,000 seedlings by getting an application from his local county agent. Fastest Growing Pine “Through this offer,” says the specialist, “boys and girls have an opportunity to plant the fastest growing pine in the East. After this pine has been planted a couple of years it really begins to grow, and it is not unusual for it to grow from one to three feet taller each year. In fact it will grow up be fore some of the 4-H’ers who plant it will. On good soils this tree, once it starts growing up, should be able to grow about 500 board feet of lumber on an acre each year.” Best time to set out loblolly pines, according to Ford, is in Jan uary, February, and March. If planted six feet apart in rows spaced seven feet from each other, 1,000 seedlings will be required to plant an acre. One person can plant as many as 500 per day.
