(She Zebulmt sU’rnrii VOLUME IX. inilS, THAI i j AND THE OTHER; f * _____ f t Byr MBS. THEO. B. DAVIS $ «)• A Easter was such a beautiful day that it made everybody feel bet ter. Folks around here may not be as determined to wear new clothes Easter as they used to be; but cor sages seem to be even more impor tant. Why is it that nothing makes one look so dressed up as a should er corsage? Is it because we know the flowers are for that special oc casion and will not last long? One of the nicest things about corsages is that not only the wearer, but all who see her, can enjoy the beauty of the blossoms, if not their special meaning, which is for one alone, It Might Have Been Worse One of my young friends was telling me of a series of misfor tunes which befell a friend of hers. Asa kind of climax I was told that “the poor thing actually had to go down street without any powder on her face.” How did she manage to live through it!!!! What Should We Do? It appears that in trying to do good I have done harm. Our cat has for several years presented us with kittens in March. Heretofore a box in the corner of the wood shed has been used as the maternity ward but there was only one kitten this year and the weather was so bitter cold that we let the two oc cupy a basket in the bathroom for more than a week. The cat had been quite the best we ever owned, work ing faithfully to keep down rats and mice in the outbuildings and requiring very little food from the table. While she was in the house so much we had, of course, to give her all she ate —and that’s what did the mischief. Since taking her and the kitten to the woodshed we find she seems ruined as a mouser. Mice are in the garage; mice nib ble at the dairy feed; I fear there are even mice in the woodshed. And that cat spends her time meow-ing at the kitchen door for food, and is even “choosey” about what she eats. I believe im emergency relief and in aid for the unemployed who can’t find work; but there are limits. A child asked me recently wheth er a washrag and a washcloth are the same thing. I explained that there is quite a difference. Washcloths are used by the well to-do, the fastidious and young folk who have not been house keeping long. They are bought, are knit or woven of porous material, and are supposed to harmonize with other bathroom accessories as regards color. A set of them makes a nice little gift. When soiled they are to be carefully laundered. Washrags are not bought; they arc really rags, and accumulate, especially in the homes where heav y underwear is worn. Except for looks they answer every purpose of washcloths. When they become din gy from use they are merely dis carded. Those torn from an old tablecloth are the softest and nicest of all and should be saved for bath ing the baby. Washrags don’t feel wholly at home in bathrooms, be ing more accustomed to being hung over a washpan on a nail on the back porch. THE FOUR-COUNTY NEWSPAPER—WAKE, JOHNSTON, N ASH AND FRANKLIN. ZEBULON, NORTH CAROLINA, FRIDAY, APRIL SIXTH, 1934 New Case Worker M/s\ T. W. Bickett, Wake county Welfare Superintendent, met the lo cal welfare advisory committee in Zebulon Wednesday. Those in at tendance were Mesdjhmep R. H. Herring, A. A. Pippin, Chaa. E. Flowers, R. E. Pippin and R. H. Bridgers, E. H. Moser, Theo. B. Davis, and E. C. Daniel. Mrs. C. H. Chamblee was absent owing to the serious illness of her father. After discussing certain applica tions for help with the committee, Mrs. Bickett introduced Miss Eliza beth Frye, the new case worker for this community. Miss Frye made a few remarks about her work and asked for suggestions or other in formation from the local commit tee. Mrs. R. H. Herring was elected chairman of the advisory commit tee, and Mrs. R. E. Pippin, secre tary. Miss Frye comes to the welfare work in this section from Hopewell, Va., where she was engaged in sim ilar work. She asks for the sym pathetic support of all the people of this community in her difficult work. Young Journalist Promoted The writer here tardily congratu lates E. C. Daniel upon his promo tion to a position upon the News and Observer staff. The youth as associate editor of the Dunn Daily Bulletin has served a remarkable apprenticeship. In fact, if the Bulle tin should be discontinued today, its six months career would be well justified by the unique apprentice ship it has afforded Editor H. G. Tilghman and Mr. Daniel. Each has received training which they could not get as new employees of a large paper. They have had practically every problem of the larger journal and some of its own. We congratu late Mr. Daniel upon his promotion, but more upn the splendid talent that he has demonstrated as a member of the Bulletin staff. — Dunn Dispatch. Weiner Roast On Tuesday afternoon after school pupils of the tenth grade at Wakelon enjoyed a weiner roast given to them and to some friends hy Mr. Paul Robertson, of the Bethany section, grade-father for | the school year. The place of meet ing was the parked area on the bank of Little River near the Ice-1 plant. The grade arrived filled with enthusiasm and departed filled with food and gratitude. Some whole sale grocer probably owes Mr. Rob ertson a vote of thanks for putting on such a feast. One member of the class said that he was not very hun gry and only ate four “hot dogs,” but that other boys ate as many as nine. And no mention was made of the young ladies having delicate appetites.

Oxford Orphanage Singing Class The singing class of the Oxford Orphanage will give a concert at Pearces’ school house on Monday evening, April 9. This class is al ways heard by the public with great pleasure. Probably no entertain ment that has come to this com munity in years affords so much good wholesome enjoyment as this group of children brings from the Masonic Orphange at Oxford. The class comes this year under the auspices of the Whitestone Ijodge. Many of the members live i n the Pearce community, so they asked that the class come to them for the concert. It is hoped that many from Wakefield and Zebulon will attend this concert Monday night. Admission will be 15 and 25 cents. Sixty Gallon Still Raided Sheriffs Weathers and Massey made a raid on a liquor distillery in the Shotwell section, near Lake Myra this week. There were six negroes and one boss white man either helping or well-wishing this new though primitive local indus try. All escaped. The still was made from a 60- gallon oil drum. The cap was made of a 10-gallon runlet and the worm —well, the officers forgot to say what sort of a worm it was. Two barrels of mash were de stroyed and four or five gallons of liquor destroyed. If any reader regrets missing this concoction, he might get together a lot of the fil thiest and most poisonous ingredi ents he knows and make himself a drink —having many of the proper ties of this Shotwell stuff. The voice of the late Enrico Ca ruso, famous tenor, was one of the mst pwerful ever heard. In making reerds he otfen sang with such volume that, although standing 20 feet away, the needle on the re cording machine would be jarred from the disc. NUMBER 41. YE FLAPDOODLE By The Swashbuckler Saw ‘Wonder Bar* last Monday night and thoroughly enjoyed parta of it. One scene depicted an old ne gro going to heaven on a mule, fa fact they had a song by that partic ular name. I enjoyed the scene up to the point where he reached the pearly gates.
