THE FOUR-COUNTV NEWSPAPER—WAKE, JOHNSTON, NASH AND FRANKLIN. VOLUME IX. IIS, THAT AND THE OTHER »? MRS. THE©. B. DAVIS If you should have happened to i If,ok for those directions for mak-j ing soap that I said would be in the j Record last week, you failed to find i them. In making up the paper they j v ere left out with some other mat-) ter that there was no room for, the printers not knowing there was any j connection between this column and the recipe. When I reminded them that some one might want to see how to make soap it seemed that the only space that could be made for that type would mean taking out part of “Queen Anne's I>ace”; and since they had in only a few scallop? of that I told them to let folks wait to make soap till this week. I think the moon was wrong last week anyway. More Etiquette In looking over the pages of a reputable household magazine I came upon a supposedly real in quiry as to the etiquette to be ob served in sitting on the lap of a boy friend when four are riding on the one seat of a coupe. The point not clear to the in quirer was whether she or the friend should first enter the car. I«n't it obvious that he could not stand outside to assist her in when he had to be in place before she f at down ? To this behind-the-times reader it appears that the most important thing involved is not etiquette, but something far more priceless. In my day girls who sat on boys’ laps were not called sub-debs; there was another name for them. Koti -Hare —With a Difference I have been told this week of a remedy new to me. It seems that if your cow’s milk becomes un pleasant in taste you should not bother to give the cow any treat ment. Instead you take some of the milk while it is quite fresh, stir some soda and some salt into it and set it in (he cupboard for a few days. This will correct whatever caused the bad taste. I said that acting upon the same principle one might save feed by putting the cow’s hay in the cup-' board instead of in the rack, and i was told that there is a difference nobody can explain; that one will work while the other will not. At any rate, I am sure one will I rot. I - j Crowns of Glory Don’t you like the way girls their hair now? i To me. whose memory, starting from the day of the frizzl'd and upstanding bang, comes down through the psyche knot era, the ratted pompadour period, the tur bar effect (arranged over a frame on the order of a muzzle), “dog ears”, the first hysteria of bobs, with their accompanying clipped or. shaven necks, and the following fine frenzy of permanent waves that were frequently fearful and won derful to behold, the present styles of hairdressing for younger wom en are the most beautiful I have ever seen. Sometimes I think that if St. Paul were living now he could forgive women for cutting their hair. And do you remember when some ZEBULON, NORTH CAROLINA, FRIDAY, MARCH SIXTEENTH, 1931.

One stanza of it went like this: “Last night 1 dreamed a pretty little starling ( ame softly tapping at my window blind, And in its bill a message from my j darling— She said that she recalled those words unkind.” Since 1 have made the acquaint ance of the starling: 1 am wonder-; ing at the lady’s choice of a mos-j sender; for few birds are more in appropriate as bearers of love-let ters. It’s a wonder the lover didn’t whack him off the window sill with-i out waiting to look at his bill or 1 bis billet-doux. Perhaps he was chosen because hr- rhymes with darling. don’t want to take up the work. Hundreds will subscribe, either for the first time or for their friends as personal gifts.

In fact, to date no one has said just what time it began I to fall. Several have said they know iit had not begun at a little past S midnight, though by seven o’clock ' Saturday morning it was about five ir ch-« deep. J A peculiar feature was that thou 'h snow fell fast all day with onlv a few brief intervals, at night it was hardly any deeper than in the early hours of the day. This was caused by the warmth of the ground, which melted so much of the snow us it tell. It was estimated that had none melted the fall would have approximated eleven inches here. j * - Another thing noticed was how : the snow clung to trees, shrubs and i vines, and how deep it lay upon j! oofs. On Sunday when it was melt | mg, great masses of it could be | seen literally curved under eaves j where it had started to fall, then , hardened. * I Except in the eastern part of the i state where rain took the place of 1 snow the fall uas general. Farmers rejoice a’ the amount of water thus; put into the soil and at the benefit to the crops. 2 Die from Accident • One day last week a very serious accident occurred not far from here when a young man by. the name of Stallings and T’eige Minton had a collision with their automobiles. Mrs. Hinton was killed. Her hus band and two sons and a neighbor boy, Manly Narron, were all seri ously hurt. Mr. Narron has sine died and was buried Thursday. He died at the Johnston county hospi-j tal. His sons are yet in the hospital I and have little chance to recover. Mr. Narron had one arm broken in ! two places and a hole knocked in his head.

Important Notice I Tobacco Farmers Wake County tobacco farmers, | like many others, have listed en tirely too many acres and pounds <>f tobacco, so much that all the oon tracts and sent to Washing ton have been returned. A new list | ing w ill be necessary before the government can pass on them. So. ; those farmers around Zebulon who ; have signed up. will have to make | a new contract before they can get : the clip Leduclibn; benefit. And | they w ill have to make a consider j able reduction in every case of both acreage and pounds on a ba.

It’s free to everyone, but you can have a set for ten cents. In cidentally there are only some ten square feet to stand in, the rest is taken up with seats. Clever? That’s how they keep going. The local dramatic club will have to keep on its toes to keep up with these out of town villains and he roes. Sez you! The idea of a dramatic) club for .the community has probably been |in people’s minds since the first play was given in Zrhulon. This idea of letting some stock company come in and use local talent for a play—taking away .‘SO per cent ■of the gross proceeds— is foolish j from efery standpoint. M^s. 1 Charles Flowers probably knows more about directing play correctly than the whole staff of any stock company in the state. Where there is ability galore, why should the people of Zehulon, or any other towm pay good money for such di rection that can easily l>e beaten at home with home talent?
