THE Volume XXVII. Number 4. NIXON FUND SURPRISES KEFAUVER w-* ttjj "1& lliHj H 11 mbß hheka 1 §p ■ , jpj ■ j| &. j|jfl <il Ik. it ,J|| ' Z'/r''-' &m ■/&•*'*&?§}&% Wi' I* y ~j?< ?• 8 >' ' |Hf Senator Estes Kefauver of Tennessee, one of the leading candidates for the Democratic presidential nomination this year and the leading exponent of honesty in government, is pictured with his wife as they returned from a trip to Europe. Senator Kefauver, who is now campaigning for his fellow Democrat, Governor Stevenson, expressed himself as being “surprised” at Senator Richard Nixon’s so-called expense account. Senator Nixon’s critics have attacked his secret account as a “slush fund.” Kefauver, who is urging support of the straight Democratic tick et this fall, is the author of a series of articles on corruption in government and how to fight it, which appeared in the Record. Uncle Ferd’s Almanac Today is not court day in Zeb ulon, but October 14th is the an niversary of some famous trials. The trial of Mary Queen of Scots, whose beauty, according to the court records, was exceeded only by her perfidy, went on trial at Fotheringay Castle 366 years ago today, charged with treason. Mary’s crime was to aid and abet in a plot to murder Queen Eliza beth, the alleged virgin for whom the state to our north is named. She was probably guiltier than the colored boy in the Will Wiggs watermelon patch, but she was so pretty that they just couldn’t find her guilty in open court. “She looks like an angel,” one of the judges remarked. Community Chest Plans Being Made The Board of Directors us the Zebulon Community Chest will meet at the Town Office on Wed nesday, October 15, at two o’clock to complete plans for the 1952 Chest drive. Material has been provided showing the need for the various organizations represent ed in the Chest activities and a tentative budget will be consider ed. Included in the Chest budget will be the Boy Scout Council, the Girl Scout Council, the Recreation Commission including both the Teen Club and the Summer Activi ties Program and local welfare needs. Other activities seeking sup port from the Community Chest include the United Service Or ganization which offers help to servicemen. Members of the Board of Direc tors are Gilbert Beck, Worth Hin ton, Willie B. Hopkins, Carlton Mitchell, Mrs. Vance Brown and Mrs. Wallace Temple: R. Vance Brown is Treasurer. ZEBULON “Then I’ll make her one,” said Queen Elizabeth. “Off with her head!” Nowadays it’s the men who make such speeches, except they make ’em in the burlesque theatres, not courtrooms, and I don’t think it’s the lady’s head they want to see come off. Be that as it may, Mary’s head was removed, much as was that of your Thanksgiving turkey. The execution took place two days be fore Valentine’s Day, 1587, less than four months after the trial begun. Justice was swift in those days, especially if you happened to be a woman and fetter looking than the queen. Frederick the Great, the king of Prussia and the founder of modern Germany (despite what Garland Godwin thinks of Bismarck) was ordered to trial 195 years ago to day by the Imperial Diet of the Holy Roman Empire. The king of Austria was also emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, and Fred erick was theoretically subject to his rule. Frederick had just taken over several thousand square miles of Austrian lands—all of Silesia, in fact. So the emperor summon ed him to a trial for a treason. This summons was a little bit like Winston Churchill calling Mr. Truman to account for failing to collect the Stamp Tax, but King Fred went to his trial anyhow. He did have the foresight, however, to take 34,000 men (all armed) with him. Thus he had not only his own witnesses but his own ju ry as well. The result was never in doubt—Frederick was on trial, but they found the emperor guilty. Pity but what Mary had thought of that; or so the Scotch think. Drained Soil Best In a test at Plymouth Experi ment Station, 110 bushels of corn were produced per acre on well drained soil, while similar, un drained soil produced 10-15 bush els per acre.
