Thanksgiving Prayer
O, Lord, you have heard many prayers.
Yov have heard Moses and the Israelites.

For help in making the United Nations
A working world of nations.

Cemetery Has Thefts;
Reportedly Lover's Lane
Mrs. G. Kermit Corbett was
out-raged.
. “Whoever it was was the sor
riest somebody imaginable,” she
said, her indignation growing.
Why she was so out-raged and
name-calling was over the fact
that some person had been to the
grave of her son in the Zebulon
cemetery and stolen the flowering
shrubbery. I
“I don’t know who it was,” she
said, “but I think he was the com
monest, sorriest, most low-down
person at all.”
Mrs. Corbett said the azalea
plants she had planted at the
grave of her son had been taken
up by the roots. She had no idea
who it could have been.
“I wish you would tell them,”
she said to the reporter, “that if
they are that anxious for shrub
bery 1 will see that they get some.
Just ask them to come to me and
I will give them some or buy them
some and give them.”
Mrs. Corbett said she had never
heard of such vandalism. She
could not get used to the idea any
one would go to a grave and rob j
it of its beauty.
“Not only that,” Mrs. Corbett
continued, “but just a short while
ago my daughter-in-law and I
placed two vases of cut flowers
on the grave. And, the next time
we were over there, just a short
time, the vases were gone.”
Could you, she wanted to know,
wonder how any person could
take vases and use them on the
mantle or in the home that had
been stolen from a grave?
“I don’t believe it was any of
the colored people that live next
to the cemetery,” she said. “I
believe they have more respect for
the dead than that. It was some
common, sorry white person.”
Reports have seeped out there
is a good lot of vandalism going
on at the Zebulon cemetery.
One citizen said they did not
believe that there are enough
patrols made by the town’s law
enforcing body.
It has been reported that cer
tain sections of the cemetery are
lovers’ lanes. A number of per
sons said they have seen cars
parked in the cemetery at night,
and tire tracks are visible where
automobiles have been.
