Remember the time and place: MONDAY NIGHT, AUGUST 15 8 O'CLOCK - MUNICIPAL BUILDING Lester Rose, general manager of the Raleigh Chamber of Commerce, will be the principal speaker. A famous after-dinner speaker, Mr. Rose will discuss the part played by a chamber of commerce in community life and development. Zebulon Chamber of Commerce Thomas F. Monk, President Uncle Ferd’s Almanac Friday, August 12 General Charles Lee was sus pended from the American Army 177 years ago today. General Lee, an elleged professional soldier, was at one time Commander-in-Chief of the Continental Army, and General George Washington was his second in command. Lee sneered at the unscholarly tactics cf Washington, and sought to ridicule the 'Virginian’s effects whenever the occasion present d itself, and this was all to often in the early days of the Revolution. At about the same time t? at Washington made his celebrated crossing of the Delaware, how ever, Lee managed to get himself captured by British troops while clad only in his nightgown and his skin. As far as the Continental Congress was concerned, that set tled the question as to whether Lee or Washington was the better st 1- dier. Saturday. August 13 The Spanish proved, at least for the time being, that one white man is better than 10,000 Indians when a handful of Conquistadors captur ed Mexico City from 500,000 Az tecs. The Spanish were aided greatly by the fact that the Aztecs regarded their horses as super natural beings, an illusion which is shared by thousands of Ameri cans today, judging from the faith that betters exhibit in horse races. Sunday, August 14 The Russians and the Chinese appear to be on pretty good terms today, but such has not always been the case. Fifty-fice years ago today, Russia seized both banks of the Amur River and massacred 5,000 Chinese, give or take a coolie. I expect that if we can afford to let nature human nature take its course, the Russians and Chi nese will soon be at each oth er’s throats again in a manner cal culated to make the Amur River massacre look like the annual pic nic of the Zebulon Baptist Church. Monday, August 15 The Common Council of New York City voted 92 years ago to day to spend three million dollars to buy substitutes for common con scripts. The Yankees saw nothing wrong in employing German mercenary troops to fight in the place of able-bodied citizens. May be they were right; anyhow the Yankee dollar won the war, and ever since then Yankees have been of the opinion that you can do anything with money, pro vided is enough of it. They are almost right, but I hopefully submit, not quite. Bethany Briefs Our attendance was only 95 last Sunday at Sunday School. The apple green carpet was laid in the church Monday.
