sThe 2ebulmt Slrcnrd VOI TIME IX. mis, THAI AND THE OTHER By MRS. THEO. B. DAVIS Must of us are familiar with signs put up by land-owners stat ing that the land is posted. But I know of at least one which adds th* warning: “No Shooting Aloud." To me one of the best features of the program of songs and Christmas exercises which is now given annually in the Wakelon auditorium is that it is a commu nity affair. And if ever there i> a time when we can all come to gether, forgetting creed and sec tarianism, it is at Christmas. If ever you housekeepers lead' the place where you feel that you have more to do than you car possibly manage, try this: Takt on so many duties in addition to your housework than when a day does come when you have only the •coking, cleaning and like daily tasks to perform, you’ll wonder how you ever kept busy at them. On last Friday night during a certain chewing-gum "hour” the announcer said that all radio peo ple like that gum and chew it all the time. At last I have found out what makes them sound as they do. But I should think they might at least park their wads while broad casting. There seems to be no limit to the lengths confirmed chewers will Co. Is there any silence more ex quisite than that which soothes your nerves as you shut otf the radio after becoming nearly fran ti« over the moanings of some par ticularly croony crooner, or the raucous laughter of an indefinite number of males over some so called joke that was old when you were young? In the yard at one side of oui house is a large holly tree; at the ether side is a young weeping wil low. And it is interesting to watch the difference in the way they be have in a storm. The holly stands stiff and straight. Its leaves rat tle in the wind, voicing indignation and defiance, and even the red ber ries seem to cling tightly to then stems so as not to be shaken off. The sturdy trunk never quivers. That tree may be split wide open s»me time, but it will not bend. The willow in the same storm teases and sways, flinging its I6np sprays about, interlacing them and wringing them together till I seem almost to hear it sob in pain at its punishment. It is easy to under stand why such a tree is called a weeping willow. But as soon as the wind has ceas ed the willow is again as gayly graceful as erver; and seldom does it show injury from its experience. It must be of an emotional tem perament. The P. T. A. of Wakelon will ant on next Tuesday p. m., Dec. 12, at three o’clock. Grade mothers ara asked to meet at 2:30. A good program has been planned and all Members are urged to attend. Just two more weeks to pay up yeur subscription to the ZEBU LON KBCOIRD at the Special Price of #ne Dollar. Hurry up! ZEBULON, NORTH CAROLINA FRIDAY, DECEMBER 8, 1933 Club Meeting j The general meeting of the Wo I man’s Club for November was held [ on the afternoon of Tuesday, Nov. | 28. j An interesting and enjoyable ! musical program was presented by small pupils from Miss Buffaloe’s: class in Public School Music. The numbers presented were: Swing the Shining Sickle, Dolly’s Prayer, Old Fashioned Girls, Pussy Cat Rag, Japanese Girls, and Mi Turkey. Mrs. Flowers voiced the appre ciation of the members for tin entertainment and for Miss Bus faloe’s continued cooperation with he work of the club. In the absence of the secretary, Mrs. McGuire, the minutes of the last meeting were read by Mrs. Coltrane, who also acted as secre tary during the business session. Mrs. C. 11. Chamblee, member of the County Board of Welfare made a short talk explaining the >ims of this Board for the coming winter and urging that clubwomen keep the personal touch in charity work. It was decided that the storage loset for local relief should have ts stores replenished and members were asked to bring donations of r ood and clothing. The club is much concerned over he matter of the payment of coun y taxes said to be due, since it had been previously understood hat because the clubhouse would be headquarters for charity work n this section and because it is not in any sense a profit-making enterprise, the building might be 'ax-exempt. Plans for a reading room were liscussed and this item of busi ness was carried over until a later date. At the close of the meeting light •efreshments were served by Mes dames C. H. Chamblee and Tho. B. Davis, hostesses for the day. Fellowship Meeting The fellowship and Thanksgiving service held at the Baptist Church here on Tuesday night of last week was most enjoyable. A special program of music had been arranged by Dr. and Mrs. Massey. The address, delivered by J. M. Broughton, Raleigh attorney, was inspiring and stimulating. Refreshments served by ladies if the church during a social hour added a touch of personal hospi ality that was much appreciated The attendance was gratifying and indicated that such an occasion is worthy of being repeated. Civil Service Exam Mrs. Ollie McGuire, postmistress, desires through these colums to call attention to the Civil Service ex amination to be held at an early date for filling the position of post master at the Zebulon office. Each person desiring to take this examination is required to fill out an application blank, which must be on file with the United States Civil Service Commission in Wash ington before the hour of closing business on December twenty-ninth. The date for the examination will be stated on admission cai’ds which will be mailed to applicants, and which will be sent out about the middl* of January. Recorder’s Court All day long and till sunset the Zebulon Recorder’s Court “coted” with all sizes and colors of folks Wednesday. The Record can only give give “de tails” of this most important event that comes along once a month to give everybody some place to go to out of the or dinary. Well, here’s the record as given to us by the clerk of the court: M. M. I’rince had been taxed with costs amounting to sl9 for neglect of some marital relationship, and not being able to raise all the costs in the case, the court ordered him to close the account by the next term. Dewey Williams, Martin Bryant and Jus. Hill, some Johnston county boys who went joy riding in a J. & M. Chevrolet some time ago al ter extracting it from the show room, had the charge nol prossed with leave—whatever that means. (Ask a lawyer.) Leroy Horton also got a n<>l pros «f some kind. Buddie Brantley was accused by 'he court of driving an auto drunk (Buddie, not the auto) and also conducting himself disorderly 01 the street of some burg. The judge gave him another month to think it over before telling him. Worley Towns got 6 months on the roads for violent act against his fellow man, but the judge merciful and told him to pay the costs and behave himself —or else. Ed Perry g°t 3 months on th road for .possessing and transport ing whiskey, but was let off aftei contributing $lO to the State’s ben efit and paying the expenses of the court while entertaining him. Lee Brannon got careless with his Lincoln or Lizzie and drove as he ought not to have done so Judge Rhodes said “$5 for your fun and what it has cost the court to tell you.” Lizzie Surrat Richardson and Louisa Shaver were accused by the court of hauling liquor around for friends. Lizzie demanded a jury’s opinion of the evidence. It said she was guilty. The judge said thi car was the court’s and she would have to pay some profits into the common treasury. Lizzie appealed to the higher court. Louisa was excused. Howard Davis was accused oi getting drunk and having a good noisy time generally and it seems the court proved it. But if he real ly had a good time, as one man aid, he got off cheat) —$5 and costs. Jimmie Cooper was caught with some kind of outlawed weapon and is out about $64.65. We wonder what it is that was so valuable as to cost Jimmie that much just to see it, or show it. E. H. Wilson got three months on the roads for being premature in getting ready for the twenty first amendment. He was caught making likker. And then there are certain costs which he paid that al ways go with the court’s O. K. of the State’s witnesses. Oliver Brock seems to have beer having a general good time lately in doing things contrary to law. Not so long ago he was accused of mixing up with liquor, then he as saulted a female and the court put a three months suspended road sen tence on him. He was up again for simple assault this time and the judge ordered the former sen tence to go into effect. The last case to come up was about crap time, but this time it .was “eleven spread” which one of| Zebulon Shines M. E. Shamhurger, formerly of Zebulon, now manuger of a shop for the sale of chairs and pottery, sertls us an item from iltichmond, Va., where he is located. Mr. Shamhurger has recently sold to Norma Talmadge, famous movie star, chairs made here in Zebulon. These chairs were to he shipped to Hollywood to he used in the home of the actress. Now, if l/ebulon folks can’t really sit in the seats of the fa mous they can at least can make the seats for the famous. Mr.s Harris Honored Wakelon teachers who board in he Dormitory showed a charming courtesy to Mrs. l'attie Harris natron, on Sunday before Thanks giving. It had been decided to have he Thanksgiving dinner on that lay, as the teachers would leavt before Thursday. Mrs. Harris was lot allowed to have entire super vision of the meal, and was called by one teacher into an upstairs oom while the final preparation. Tor dinner were made. Coming to the table, she was much surprised o find that her daughter, Mrs. F. I). Finch, with Mr. Finch and their son, Dave, had arrived to enjoy the ocasion as special guests oi the teachers, invited in honor ol Mrs. Harris. The thoughtfulness was dee| ly appreciated by Mrs. Harris, who declares that Wakeloi teachers are “always lovely” to hei. Ex-Service Men; All Veterans There will be a meeting of al’* Veterans, Tuesday night December 12, 1933 for the purpose of or ganizing a Post at Zebulon. r l he meeting will be held in the Ma sonic Hall at 7:30. It is not only the privilege bu honorable duty of every veteran to be a member of The American Le gion. Atlantan Ready For Repeal On last Friday officers in At lanta, Ga., found concealed in a hidden room in a residence in that dty 475 gallons of corn whiskey. Os this amount 840 quarts had been bottled and labeled as being well known brands of bonded liquor. The whiskey was said to have been intended for sale aftei December 5. the accused said he did not know anything about, so we will not try to explain it. Anyway, there were five colored men accused and two colored women as the accusers. All but one took the stand, and his father substituted for him. He said his son was at home all day, a Sun day, with him and his wife and that none of them left home during the day, but the court did not seem disposed to believe any 3 healthy negroes would tarry at Jnome all day on Sunday without more than an ordinary reason, so he just said “Discharged upon payment of the costs.” We never knew there were so many things against the law a fel low could do and get off by just evening things up with the court gi°n. NUMBER 25 YE FLAPDOODLE Ity Ttie Swashbuckler A daily newspaper brings us the news that drinking from glasses in cases, drug stores, etc., is the same as kissing. Oh Yeah? Last week I made mention of the fact that there were two young men in the vicinity who were call ng upon the same young lady. Since that date, I learn that both young men know about each other. So—my statement was not a fact, but a mere supposition which 1 has ten to correct. In the case of Mary B, Arthur Broughton Knows about that Dizzy Liles, and what Dizzy knows can’t hurt him. In the case of Mary C., Earl, son of Prexy Moser, knows about that imported football player of Wake lon’s, Grip Daugherty. So— with these two corrections, I round out (he paragraph and square myself with you scandal mongers. At last George Lane has offered an answer to the question, “How many squirts in a squirt can?” If it’s printable, I'll let you in on it next week. Clara I.ee Scarborough, Dr. Bul 'a’s private secretary, over in the Wake County health department, handed me this quite amusing bit last week. It appears that there were two young men irt a>n inebriated state walking down the street. Coming t« a motion picture house, they pro ceeded to buy tickets and enter its spacious doors. Taking their tickets, the usher informed them that there was only standing room left, and that it was up in the balcony. Up they went. In some way, they followed the wrong passageway and ended up not in the balcony, but on a fire escape which was just across the court from a window in an apart ment house. In the room, which they could see quite plainly, there was a young couple playing solitaire or some thing. They played several hands while the drur.?.s watched intently. Presently the couple left, and af ter a short time had elapsed, re turned and got out the cards to play solitaire. When the first hand had been played, one of the watch ers turner to the other and said, “Le’s go Bill, this ish where we came in.” Holloway mentions in his timely crack column this week “a certain unmentionable part of the body”. Could you by any chance mean the steatopygous, Mr. Holloway? by paying everybody off for his time. It sounds sorter like Mr. Roosevelt had entered the judicial branch of the government to halo relieve the situation there, too.
