VOLUME ri THIS, THAT AND IDE OTHER By MRS. THEO. B. DAVIS A member of the Beginners’ De partment of the local Baptist Sun day School has stated that they are going to have “Commotion Day” there very soon. I am wondering if not knowing how to play cards makes it harder for me to understand all the fine points of the New Deal. I have just finished reading one of those uptodate beauty talks in a woman’s magazine; the kind of article that declares at great length that every woman owes it to her self to be beautiful. Perhaps she does; but it’s a debt that is sometimes impossible to collect, though the interest is al ways kept up. The writer of the article goes or. to say that “mere soap and water cleanliness is not enough.” It may not be, but to many who have to draw water, heat it over a stove fire or use it cold; do what is po litely called performing ablutions with a basin or a washtub instead of one of those more comfortable and sightly bathtubs; who have to make a special effort for pri vacy in a house that has no bath room; and who are often so tired that the work of getting ready for a “big bath” seems almost more than they are equal to —well, to them soap and water cleanliness does not seem so mere. I know. It is a great pity that every home oes not have some arrangement . .or taking other than What is cglled 0 a sponge bath. If you can get the hjrnen of the house sufficiently inter rested. it wouldn’t cost much to im prove conditions. When I had to scrub small boys and owned no bathroom 1 took a wooden bucket which had held laid i. and scoured and scalded it. Then I ahored a hole in one side near the fcottom and in the hole inserted a fpiece of reed which I found grow ing in the woods near a stream. I o the end of the reed I fitted a length Vof rubber tube, the kind that costs Babout two nts a foot in many ?tchain stores. I would fill the bucket ./with warm watei anfl hang i; upon a hook which was fastened to the ' wall. The soiled soil was made to stand in a mall .dm tub to be dampened and soaped and the scrubbing v,as continued by letting the water from the bucket run over the child’s body until he was clear and rinsed. It wa3 primitive, but it did mean * that water did not have to be used again after carrying off a part of f the dirt, that the final rinse had no f soap in it, and that I did not have *to stoop nearly so much. At times 1 find myself sympa thizing deeply with children who hate to bathe. It may be because } such poor provision is made for Ythem. The girl who does the washing came in and said with a pained ex pression that something had died put there ne;(r the end of the clothesline; that it might be a chic ken but smelt more like a rat; and that she would be glad if I would •o out and help hunt for it. Experience had taught me what o expect, and I found exactly what ; I expected. It was a fungus, the i jase about the size and color of a ■ ball, with a white tube a [ 'arge a- my finger and about six Anches long protruding from the [top. At the tip of this tube was a t sheath-like cap from which oozed a ttgreenish slime having the odor of f arrion. If As I carefully slipped a shovel 1 under the fungus to remove it to mother piace for burial I explained (hat it grew from the decaying •oots of a cherry tree which had ,een killed by fire; that its kind ,nly came from rotten wood; that w looked for some time before inding it described in a Boy scouts’ Handbook; and, lastly I, dded that it is called the stink* | ■torn. n The gill said emphatically:, ■Well, whoever named it couldn't ■me no better, no matter how long \. tried.” Wav Zrhulrm Wivtnrb State Fair To Be Oct. 9 To 14, 1 j Raleigh, Sept. 2T.—A bigger and better North Carolina State Fair will get under way here Monday, October 9. and its sponsors are al ready describing it as certain to be 'he greatest of more than half a hundred that have been held at Ra eigh. Much 'yf the glamor and glitter of the old State Fair of the years when the late Colonel Joseph E. Pogue was its secretary will be re stored in the 1933 event as the re sult of activities of the Raleigh c'unior League which will revive the State Fair Marshals’ Parade on Monday afternoon and the State Fair Marshals’ Ball on Wednesday night.

Gi|est ' r i « j Note To Parents And To Children ! | Mesdames Raymond Pippin and I Oren Massey are planning a party j for little folks for next Saturday • afternoon, September 30, from 3:30 till . 5:30. The place is Wakelon campus, unless rain comes, in which case one of the classrooms will be ' used. Mrs. Pippin will tell stories to the Children—new stories, too—and ice cream will be served. Young persons from tH:e age hf three years up are invited. Since the par ts is given in behalt ®f the P. T. A., guests are asked to bring ten cents, j wllich will go into the P.T.A. treas ' uty . , . ’ H— f i Wakelon Defeats i 1 Wendell Eleven • Led by Captain “Grip” Daughtry, the Wakelon eleven, coached by Brookbank and Gerow, proved too much for R. R. Thomson’s team from Wendell last Friday and took the game by the score of 6-0. The locals rapped on Wendell’s ! goal line several times before scor ing but the stubborn line of the yellow shirts held each time. Fin ally, in the last part of the third pe riod, Wakelon began a steady drive from midfield and successive line plays placed the locals on Wen dell’s two yard line where Cap tain Daughtry hit the line for the lone score. A dropkick by Horrall missed the bars only a few inches. The locals looked like a million dollar team on more than one oc- Vcasion. It is quite interesting to ' note that Coaches Brookbank and j Gerow have only two lettermen* jwith whom to build a football team I around. Bobby Horton, level headed quarterback, ran the team unusual ly well for his first time in that responsible position. Ferebee, Lloyd and Wiggs were the shining lights for Wakelon’s line while Richard-j son was best for Wendell. A. C. j Dawson was referee for the game. Friday, September 2ft. the locals will meet Fuquay Springs here at 3:30. ___________ Striking Strikers Strike Suddenly Several thousand men at *the Ford Motor Plant at Chester, Pa., walked out on strike last Tuesday. They are said to be dissatisfied with wages and hours of work.

FREE TALKIES • .. The old saying “It Pays To Ad i / vertiae” is indeed old, hut it cer tainly is not decrepit. The mer , chants of our town are giving a (free talking motion picture show every Wednesday night across from the Zebulon Supply Com- | pany. This method of advertising, while entertaining, does not cover the territory covered by this newspaper. Word of mouth is good advertising but it is slow j and seldom convincing. Advertis- I ing in black and white presents ! clean clear-cut facts in an abso lute form. Thirty-five hundred people will read these two para ! graphs, why not let them read your advertisement in next week’s Record? Fred Hales Has Barn To Burn Fred Hales, local farmer living about one mile South of Zebulon had a barn burn to the ground early Thursday morning. Mr. Hales had all his tobacco i and cotton stored in the barn. He j lost his mule, cow, feed stuff and j all his tobaccb. Only one bale of | cotton was badly damaged. | If you V<n, v;u hav** to tell ’em Day Os Atonement Is To Be Observed On Saturday, September 30th. all orthodox Jews will observe the Day of Atonement. This was the time in ancient Israel when the high priest went once a year into the holy of holies in the temple to make atone ment for the sins of all the people All stores and business places of Jews will be closed on Saturday until 5:30 b’.olock, in commemora tion of this day. On Thursday and Friday of last week Jews observed their New Year. It includes a part of two days and djates back to the time when their raion began its exist ence. Places of business of Jews are ' also closed, on this day. i • Rotarian Resolve Relates To School Childrens’ Safety ■ » i Zebulon, N. C., Sept. 22, 1933. ! North Carolina State Highway Cortijnission. | Raleigh, N. C. The Zebulon Rotary Club in reg ular meeting September 22, 1933, 6:30 P. M., unanimously passed the following resolution: “Recently the State School Com mission in conformity with the laws passed by the last general as sembly of North Carolina, ruled that all school children residing ' within two miles of a school are not to be transported by school I buses, and, “Whereas, Wakelon high school has already matriculated about 1,000 pupils and daily several hun dred walk the highways to school, thereby endangering the lives of I the children, “Therefore, we respectfully pe- I tition and earnestly urge the State 1 Highway Commission to take steps | immediately to provide adequate l walking space on the highway i shoulders and keep same in good I condition for the safety of the walking school children of Wakelon high school.” H.

Sept. 26.—The offices of the United Dry Forces here are 100 per cent busy and then some. Literature and letters are going out, organization of counties is be ing perfected, candidates are being selected, petitions for their nomina tion are being circulated and the campaign for about two hundred speakers is being arranged. Lively reports come in from every quarter of the State. Here are extracts from some of them taken at random from different counties; “Organization completed, dele gate named, machinery set up (reaching every precinct) for get ting out the votes. Wets discour aged by the popularity of dry or ganization.” “Our county is going dry by a good majority.” “We have a real man running for the Dry Farces and confidently ex pect to carry the county.” “Every Sunday School superin tendent enlisted. Will have around three hundred people on our com mittees. Prospects are we will car ry county two to one.” "Our rally went over in fine fash j ion. Colonel Langston gave us a ( tremendously fine address. I think ’ j lie was the man.” “Organized from county seat I clear down through townships and precincts. Team of men and wo* I men at each precinct. Mass-meeting j planned in each township between row and election. Thing-, look good up this way.” | In Wake County the United Dry . I Forces haver selected three caudi ■ dates of more than state-wide repu tation as their delegates for the , proposed convention. They are Dr. • W. L. Poteat. Mrs. T. W. Bickett, and I)r. John B. Wright. Strange to say, they are every one eager and working to get elected to an of fice without a job! They want the State to roll up a rounding major , itfor “No Convention.” . From one County Chairman comes a very striking exhibit of ,1 the results following prohild- i"ii.l It lonsists of statistics of the court hou e record of capital case- in | that county for th® last 38 year.-. ( The record runs as follows; 19 years < 1895-1914) 8:*. 19 years (1915-1933) 4l. This shows a decrease of more i-han 53 percent. The 89 capital cas es tried in the 19 years from 1895 to 1914 cost the tax payers of that county heavily and left approxi ,. inately 60 widows and 180 orphans. ; The records of the county in ques i tion show that 80 per cent of these t I capital felonies was caused by li-j quor. A similarly favorable show-1 , ing for prohibition can probably be found in practically every other county in North Carolina. (Young Tar Heel Farmers Active : 1 1 The Young Tar Heel Farmers of j Wakelon held their first meeting in the study hall on Thursday, Sep- I tember 21, 1933, with an enroll ment of forty-eight members. Professor Massey made a brief talk to the club, after which the following officers were elected: President, Dwight Chamblee; Vice-President, Francis Wall; Sec retary, Graham Bunn; Reporter, Donahue Evans. The meeting was then adjourned to meet Thursday, October 5. The Young Tar Heel Farmers is a tate organization of students in vocational agriculture which tends to keep the local organization alive, gives them an opportunity to .-wap experiences, pool suggestions j and develop leadership.

Most of the younger set can be found parked on some lonely road ( the younger set however, is NOT lonely) enjoying i first-hand lesson in astronomy. Oh my Stars!

Barrie Davis that smilin’ office devil of some 200 hp (hip pockets) broke one off in Ferd, his versatile brother. Said Ferd, “Well, I got a thousand dollars life insureance on myself,” He was strutting proudly until Barrie splattered his dream with, “Oh, so that’s what we’ve been -melling all day.” P. S. Mr. Davis wasn’t paid one cent for giving thia 1 testimonial. And by all means I must not | neglect to bring to mind the little i fray which took place over in the oil mill section of our fair city in the early part of last week.
