THE ZEBULON RECORD Volume XXVI. Number 99. Local Commerce Chamber Plans Membership Drive UNCLE SAM'S HAYSEED: WESLEYANS It was our privilege to attend the Seventy-Second Annual Con ference of the Carolina and Vir ginia Conference of the Wesleyan Methodist Church, which convened at Colfax, N. C. This conference is composed of about 5,000 mem bers. There are one hundred churches and ninety-four ordained elders with nearly 350 licensed preachers. There are more than 8,000 enrolled in its Sunday i Schools. The gain in church mem bership for the past year was es timated to be about ten percent. Many Delegates Present The number of ministers and delegates voting was around 200. There were nearly a thousand j present including ministers, dele gates and visitors. The days of the conference were filled with ses sions for the transaction of busi ness and services for worship. The sessions were held in the large j camp-meeting tabernacle. The' ministers, delegates and visitors j were housed in the camp-rpeeting I cottages and dormitory. Meals | were served in the large camp meeting dining room. Methodistic Government The Wesleyan Methodist Church is Wesleyan in doctrine and Meth odistic in government. It grew out of separations from the Meth odist Episcopal Church. These sep arations began in the North in the year 1842. One of its tenents was the abolition ofl slavery. In the South this caused much opposi tion. Sometimes the preachers were tried in the courts and occa sionally waited on by mobs. Soon after the turn of the century the church in this conference became almost inactive. But with the coming of the great revivals of the early part of the present century it took on new life which continues to increase and expand up to the present time. The church stresses education. It has a course of study for its ministers. It owns its own schools and publishing house. The church is strong on the teaching of Wesleyan holiness.

More Rules for Wise Use of Home Freezers Given by Economist By Ruth White, Home Economist Now is an excellent time with many opportunities to preserve food by freezing it in the home food freezer. To obtain the best results in freezing, 1 would like to suggest the following rules: 1. Select food of good quality. Freezing does not improve but will retain the original flavor, quality, color, and nutritious value of the food to be frozen. 2. Speed the food to the freezer. A good slogan to follow is, “Let no time be wasted or your food may be.” Whether food is brought from the garden or the food market, prepare it quickly, package it im mediately, and get it into the freez er without delay. Do not keep food packed for freezing at room temperature. If it is not possible to freeze food immediately, store it in a household refrigerator, then place it in the food feezer or lock er. Use Small Quantities 3. Freeze fresh fruits and vege tables in small quantities. Fresh vegetables lost much of their color, flavor, and nutritive value when allowed to remain at room temper ature for more than a short time. Peeled fresh fruits, such as peaches, pears, etc., discolor rapidly when exposed to the air. So for best re sults, it is essential to work quick ly and prepare only a small a mount at a time. 4. Cook foods quickly. So not overcooking when preparing foods for freezing. Cool food quickly by partially submerging or floating tray containing food in cold running tap water or ice wa ter. To complete cooling place tray on shelf in the household re frigerator. Foods Need Wrapping 5. Parkage or wrap foods for freezing. To prevent loss of mois ture during freezing and storing, it is necessary to wrap or package food in moisture - vapor - proof material or pack in glass freezer jars or other container designed for freezing. 6. Keep frozen foods in the freez er until you are ready to use them. Tests have proved zero or below to be satisfactory temperatures for freezing and storing home-size packages. Wake Farm Unit Plans '52 Survey Os County Needs By C. M. Hester Wake County agricultural lead ers met August 21, 1951, to make plans for a county-wide review of all agricultural programs in the county administered by the U. S. Department of Agriculture. Those at the meeting, called by Russell Powell, Chairman of the Agricultural Mobilization Com mittee, said the study will find out how well the Department pro grams are serving farm families. The answer to this question will be obtained in community meet ings to which all farmers will be invited. Members of the Wake County Agricultural Mobilization Commit tee, business leaders, representa tives of farm organizations, and agricultural leaders were at the meeting. At least one more county meeting and a series of commun ity meetings are to be scheduled. Request for the review was re ceived by G. T. Scott, Chairman of the State Agricultural Mobili zation Committee, from Charles F. Brannan, Secretary of Agricul ture and Chairman of the Na tional Agricultural Mobilization Committee. Mr. Powell said farmers, busi nessmen, civic leaders, agricultur al workers, preachers, teachers, and others will be asked to study and make recommendations on all agricultural programs. “The basic idea is to get the thinking of everyone in the county interested in agriculture about how our farm programs and policies can be improved in regard to service to the family farms,” said Mr. Powell.

Davis Sons, Publishers Frank Wall Tells Merchants Plans For Current Year A five-man membership commit tee, including J. C. Debnam, Pat Farmer, Thurman Hepler, Gilbert Beck, and Frank Kannon was ap pointed by President Frank Wall at the meeting of the Board of Di rectors of the Zebulon Chamber of Commerce last Thursday night, and membership solicitation for the ensuing year will begin imme diately.

Hopkins and Pat Farmer, elected at the meeting of the Chamber of Commerce the pre ceding Thursday night, and Ralph Talton, Thurman Hepler, Ed Hales, and R. Vance Brown. I’resident’s Statement Mr. Wall issued the following statement to members of the Zebu lon Chamber of Commerce and other residents of this area: “Certain organizations are vital factors in the growth and devel opment of a healthy economy. The chain reaction of seasonal depres sions, sluggish market conditions, and lax trading may often be a verted by wide-awake, energetic membership and leadership, weld ed together in a group whose aim it is to forestall such occurrences. With the election of new officers to the Zebulon Chamber of Com merce it seems an apt time to re vert to the basic principles laid down by the ‘founding fathers’ of the Chamber. “When a tradesman has a legi timate and attractive bargain to offer the general public one of the tried and proven roads to success resulting in benefit to both buyer and seller is successful promotion of the tendered value. A com munity reflects the success of its ! salesmanship from the health of i its economic condition. Failure to sell a town may result in attend ant failure to sell its product. This Is a Good Town “Zebulon is a good town. It is filled with the solid opportunity for a citizen to get his ‘money’s worth.’ Its main street lies in the heart of the richest agricultural section of Wake County, and broad highways invite more than 10,000 people to its limits Prov ing it every day is the self-ap pointed task of the Chamber of Commerce. “Many shoulders, working in concerted effort, have moved great (Continued on Page 4) KINDERGARTEN There will be a meeting Wednesday night at 8:15 p. m. in the Baracca Room of the Zebulon Baptist Church for all parents who expect to enter their children in the kinder garten.
