HORSE SHOW Thanks to the horce-lcvsrs of this section.'; •who have revived, or erected, interest in horse nawg. Work on the part of interested citizens led to Goldsboro's first horse show last Sunday. Around £0 horses—some of them as fine as can be found in several states—competed for gibbon a. Horses are fine animals. Horse-back riding is good sport. We are glad to see the interest being manifest ad. Among the many horse-lovers of this section, we believe that special thanks are due Herman Wefl and A. H. Handley for the increase of in tweet in horses in these parts. They own fine horses and their enthusiasm bar a wholesome sport has been contagious and now many horses are owned around Goldsboro. Within a day following the show, seme twelve or fifteen ether people were reported as interested in buying horses. Goldsboro can become a sports center for lovers of horses. May it become such. RECREATION PARK Are you interested in seeing Goldsboro hcrvo^ a recreation park oi some 140 acrc3, easily available to the city? 1 li you are now is the time to talk that ir.:ors?«1. i --Several citirona have donated iond. the' WPA will do *he vrorlt. Ths City is cilted tej sponsor the pra'set and aid with it. We nop-)! that the project will married no tor whai i*. will! mean to Goldsboro ar.d to Wayne county. It's not throwing money away to invest in playgrounds. We reed more of them. Many of| us need to play more. Luck tc those Interested in this proiect. TAX DIVERSION AND BORROWING Last week wo wrote of our opposition to the diversion of hlghwcy funds to the general fund; in the working out oi the State's budget. We oppose this diversion fc* the s’ajplo rsa~ on that it is not fair to levy tax tor a specific' impose and then divert the money collected to another purpose. What we have said, however, will not pre vent the Legislature's diverting funds to raise the budget. Bat it is interesting to note that already pro panels have been made to Issue a few million . dollars in highway bonds to raise money for ~ldghways in the stale. Do you see the picture. The proposal is to borrow money FOR the highway fund and divert money FROM the highway funds to the general fund. Why? That's easy! If is easier to get money from the highway fold for an increased general budget than it| is to find other sources of revenue. j But, why not bo fair? Let the highway money stay in the highway fund: and let the stete borrow the money, if it must be borrowed, for j the general fund. WHISKEY TAXES I lost week we scrfd (bat an increase in taxes. ■w ABC whiskey would mean the increase in | •ale of bootleg whiskey. It may mean the col-1 lecting ol more money by the state, and il any j of people are to be taxed more we would rather it would be the drinkers of whiskey than anybody else we can think of right now. But have you noted the proposal? Increase the tax on whiskey £0 as to raise money for higher teacher salaries, for an in-j creased school term. Teachers of the state have turned thumbs down on that proposed, and we don't blame j them. If money is to be raised from taxes on whis key, why ear-mark that for schools in an «Hort to get the teachers and other school-minded people of the state back of the whiskey tax? lust as well ear-mark it for salaries of state officials, penal institutions, or any other way. COMMENDABLE Word comes that the Colored Community Center, being built just east oi the intersection al UtTi and Slocumb streets, will be completed soon. This is a commendable piece of work the colored folks oi Goldsboro have dons, or rath er. have helped to do. They got busy and raised some money among themselves, got the city to sponsor the morfc and aid in the enterprise, got WPA to fmry on the work as a project in this eommun-1 My. The building will cost about $12,000. with about $7,000 of this amount being furnished by WPA and the remainder by the City and by the colored folks of the community. Not only are thanks due the colored folks and especially their leaders In this work. Prof. H v. Brown, E. A, Thornton and William Gav la, but A. T. Griffin. Jr.. civic-minded son of a dyfc-minded father, is due much credit for ■er'-ing as head of the committee which hat ,-Ben ti.. protect through. ,.iding will be dedicated, probably y go as It nears completion we con ****??,m rjr*. Griffin and all others who have jS’fjJLJ «„ lh. Bn. wo.1 «»„ b<nr. do~. Ramblin' 'Round Gen© Roberts Sunday was one cl the few Sundays in the perst four years when I've net dene rather ex tensive rambling, I ad blocked in Sunday afternoon and couldn't gel away for the regular drive. We drove cut by A. H. Handley's to see how Goldsboro's first Horse Show was coming cn. planning to go on for a drive, but hardly had we got parked when cars parked all around us; so we had to stay there until the show was over before we could get away. Frankly, I didn't mind that so much, for 1 love horses. I suppose I came by that love rather naturally, for my father was a horse lover. He traded horses more or less as a business; and he was rather expert at treating horses which were run-down and not doing so well. I like cows, pigs, cats, chickens, but I like herses most of all. Were I a rich man. or even able to afford luxuries, ! would buy a saddle horse just about the first thing I did. My feeling for horses is just about as deep as was that demonstrated by Tobe Garris, who worked for us on the farm, back when I was a boy. We had a little bay mare, Fann?e, that all of us liked; and we kept her much longer !haa my trading father kspt most herses. Fin ally. however, he ‘reded Fannie end when lobe learned of it he put his arms around the horsu's neck c~cd wept over tho lac! that shs was going. I think I wept too.

And talking about fine horaes. those two men have some as fine horses as one could wish to s«o. King Red Vino and Mitzie c-rtd Poetry of Motion, names to conjure within the hors© world in these parts. Did you know lhat interest hes grown *o such an extenl hore that the GOLDSBORO HORS*) SHOW ASSOCIATION has been organised. with Floyd Barden ae president and C. S. Ra gan. secretary. -o A fine feature of the show was the trick rid ing and clown acting done by Mr. and Mrs. Tom Hunt rodeo stars, who are wintering in Goldsboro. Mrs. Hunt has a well-trained horse, Mr. Hunt has a small mule so well trained that "cute" is about the only word I know of which will describe him. Harry Huff, who sells a lot of livestock on the John F. Hobbs Stock Yards market here, is the owner of the rodeo show which travels widely cmd which features Mr. and Mrs. Hunt. These folks have played in Madison Square Garden, New York, I believe. -o I'm giving my will-power a little work-out these days. Have you ever tried doing that? I have never been a heavy smoker, but re cently I found that I was smoking about a pack of cigarettes a day; so I decided to cut them out. A number of times before I have stopped for intervals of several days to prove to myself that l could stop. It’s been more than a week now since I smoked a cigarette or cigar 01 drank a Coca-Cola. I'm not saying that I've stopped either for good; but I have stopped lot a rather prolonged period. Aside from the habit being formed, I figured the cost too. Figure for yourself what the cosl of these smokes and drinks cost over a period of a year. I figured this way. One pack of cig arettes a day is 15 cents a day, one cigar a day is a nickel, and two Coca-Colas a day. a dime. AH of that totals 30 cents a day; and 30 cents a day for 365 days mounts to the sizable sum of $109.50 for the year. That's not to be sneezed at in any fellow's limited budget; so I'm oil these habits for sometime, at least. A dollar saved Is a dollar made, you will recall some fellow has rightly said. —.o Having left the chow Sunday we headed for home and the fireside, for it was cold: aad, bo sides. Peggy has what we fear may be the be ginning of whooping cough and we did nol want to take her out In. the open too much and especially did not want to take her among those who may not have had the cough before. She gets along pretty well during the day. but sometimes is troubled a lot with coughing at night. Last night—Monday—she got along just fine, without any coughing, until 4 o'clock in the morning, when she bad quite a spell o! coughing. After that she was able to rest pret ty well. -o During the early morning hours of Tuesday sometime near the time when Peggy was coughing. Mrs. Roberts got quite a scare, think mg that somebody was breaking Into the house. She heard the door to the back porch slam, and she called to me that somebody was entering the house. Faintly I had heard the dooT too. although I was not fully awake. 1 reasoned that SkippY—he's our dog—had de cided to leave his bed on the porch, although we had nol known him to do so before. I got up and checked and sure enough that's what had happened. It wasn't long before he was asking to be let back Ln; but we let him stay oul until we were ready to get up. thus punishing him ior giving us the scar*. Did 11*11 you that wo iound Blackie. our play : ful kitten, the other day. I had ottered a 50-cont ecward ior her return, so we got her back, but within two or three days she left again. We've I ab jut decided to lot her go ii she isn't satisfied with the attention we lavish on her at home: and, too, we have her smaller sister to tedio her place. The smaller Blackie Is playful with us, but ohe will not play with Skipple like the Icrger ktilen did. In addition to the deg cmd the kitten we have oihor pots——or cue they pets:' We have 15 as p:chy Ehoda Ifiand Red pullets and one roost Mrs. Susan Sass&r Dies Last Friday Fiuier#! sc.v for Mrs. Susan ; Sasser, 77, who die t r>t her home in Mt.
