[HIS, THAT
AND THE OTHER
By MRS. THEO. B. DAVIS
If you have some corn that is
getting rather hard to use in other
ways, try this: Grate the tips of
the grains off then with a knife
scrape the remainder of the corn
from tre cob, leaving the husks oi
from the cob, leaving the husks on
liquid mass that looks surprisingly
small for the ears used. But don’t
be discouraged. Put a pan on the
stove to heat. In it put a big lumj
of butter and some sweet milk il
you have it. If not, use water
Add the grated corn and 3tir care
fully as it cooks. When it seem,
too thick add more water or milk
Season with salt and use pepper
too, if the family likes it. You may
use tre thick, cooked corn as a veg
etable, or it may take the place o 1
bread with other vegetables.
In a store window down town it
a display that impressed me more
than any I have seen for a long
time. There is no placard, no prict
tags, only this: Ever so many lan
terns are placed in groups with
piles of balls of tobacco twine be
tween them. And high in the cen
ter stand some crates of fruit jars
What does that say to you?
To me it spells long days of hard
work saving tobacco days that
merge into night and call for the
use of lanterns for feeding th<
stock and milking the cows even
though work began long before the
sun rose. Nights of staying awake
curing the “golden weed"—whicl
often isn't golden. Days of cook
ing for extra hands, of bad-smell
ing clothing, all stained with to
bacco gum and wet with sweat
Nights when one is almost too tired
to sleep though a cool breeze should
for a few hours banish the heat
Weeks of wondering if eve r one
can catch up with the washing and
ironing.
And through it all the fruit jars
gleam a warning that the peaches,
berries, tomatoes, and snaps will
not wait for a less hurried time, but
must be saved at once. More work,
more worry, more heat —but more
food ready for winter. And most
of us manage to live through it
each year. If only company doesn’t
come for a long visit until the
worst rush is over!
In a conversation with some oth
er farm women last week we de
cided that the most disagreeable
factor of farm life is not the hard
work, but having to change shoes
and stockings so often. Dewy
gardens, cow lots and chicken yard„
are no respecters of silk hose and
covered heels on thin shoes. She
who would appear to be present
ably clad elsewhere must take off
footgear suitable house and
put on that which has stouter soles
with stockings that match it. Every
vine and brier on a farm lie# in
wait for the better clothes of the
farm woman, nor can she be among
those who can wear old Sunday
clothes for every day. But I know
one farmer’s wife who is wearing
a pair of perfectly beautiful silk
hose for the fourth summer. Bhe
Junior Woman’s
In Club Meeting
The Junior Woman’s .Club held
its monthly business meeting on
Thursday night, July 12th, at the
Woman’s Club Building.
Most of the business consisted
)f appointing committees to carry
out plans for a bridge tournament
which is planned for the night of
July 24th. It was decided that each
person who attends will be charged
25 cents.

After the business session, Miss
2s Ann Kemp and Grace Coltrane
hostesses, served delicious refresh
ments.
Death Os M. Price
Miss Margaret Price, seventeen
/ears old, daughter of S. T. Price,
died at Duke Hospital on July 2.
Funeral services were held at Cor
nth Baptist Church, conducted by
Rev. Mr. Godwin of Selma and
Rev. J. N. Stancil of Kenly.
Margaret was the victim of a
omplication of diseases. Her
tome was at Oliver’s Grove and
she was loved by all who knew her.
Before the death of her mother,
live years ago, she lived in the Cor
nth community. She was a mem
ber of the senior class of Four
Oaks High School, her illness pre
senting her graduation. Members
.f the class acted as pall bearers
and as flower-bearers.
She will be greatly missed by
elatives and friends who realize
.hat God knows best.
Hitler Speaks Fri.
Chancellor Adolf Hitler of Ger
many has issued a call for the
Reichstag to convene Friday—to
day. At that time he will state
his side of the recent revolution
and ask for approval.
The Reichstag is the national
congress of Germany, supposedly
representative of the people, but in
reality so under Chancellor Hitler’s
influence as to leave no doubt of
the action today. The course of the
chancellor will be highly commend
ed as being necessary to the sal
vation of the German people.
German Appeal
After recent turbulent and bloody
uprising against Hitler's policies
in Germany, Rudolph Hess, known
as Hitler’s second self, amazed the
world on Sundoy with an impas
sioned plea for peace and at the
same time flinging defiance in the
face of any nation that might dare
to invade Germany. This warning
is thought to have been meant es
pecially for France.
has kept them for best, you see,
and they were splendid quality to
begin with.
I know it is presumptuous for
me to class myself as a farm wom
an. Our plot of less than three
acres is no farm. But it makes me
feel so much nearer independent
and gives me a claim to position
with what used to be called “the
landed gentry”, so I hope real farm
women will not object.

Seen and Heard
SERVICE WITH A SMILE
Even at the cost of being called
prudish we confess that we could
hardly keep from looking surpris
ed when a young lady in a store
one day last week week walked up
to a young man and ordered him to
scratch her back. Her order was
tilled courteously and rather im
personally.
TOO BAD
When a young man of Zebulon
was asked his initials by a much
older one, a visitor to the town, one
day last week he thought nothing
special of it, since he had known
the inquirer slightly for some time.
He was even accommodating
enough to write his name for the
old man—on a piece of paper of
sered him for the purpose. The
trouble was that the writing was
done on the back of an old
blank check which was late r filled
in for “Cash thirteen dollars” with
the young man’s name serving as
an endorsement. Not only thirteen,
but any number would have been
unlucky in such case.
LOGICAL PLACE
The headquarters for local relief
work have been moved to “Moth
er’s Cupboard’’, near Horton’s fill
ing station. A. N. Jones, in charge,
says it sounds mighty well, and no
one can deny that it seems the log
ical place for needy folks to go.
Many Vaccinated
More than 4,000 took vaccination
against disease in the recent drive
against typhoid fever, diphtheria
and smallpox in Wake County.
Dr. Bulla reports that whooping
cough led in prevalence during the
month of June. There were 122
cases.

After a short business session
presided over by Mrs. Herring an
nouncement wa s made that a social
hour in honor of Mrs. Percy Lewis
was a feature of the day. Mrs.
Lewis is leaving Zebulon at an ear
ly date to make her home in Wen
dell. The love and appreciation of
the society for her faithfulness
were in some measure expressed
and light refreshments were serv
ed.
Among the men of the village , lowed many years ago was removed

■lared to bp the greatest menace
to civilization.
Drowns In Pool
Johnny Micol, 14-year-old boy of
Valdese, dived into a swimming
pool to open a valve to drain the
water. When the valve opened
the suction drew the boy’s body,
feet first, into the drain pipe and
held him so tightly that his own
efforts and those of others on the
spot could not release him. His
dead body was recovered only after
dynamite had been used to break
the concrete.
Worker’s Council
The meeting of the Worker’s
Council of the Baptist S. S. will be
held on Monday night of next week.
The change in date was made be

Mrs. Phoeni Head
Young Democrats
The Wake County Club of Young
Democrats meeting in the county
courthouse last Thursday night,
elected Mrs. Bessie Phoenix as

ceeding Thos. H. Banks. Arch T.

cers will take over the reins about
the first of September. The club

Congressman-elect Harold Cool
ey and U. S. Senator J. W. Bailey
addressed the club members and
visitors. Senator Bailey offered a
masterly defense of the Roosevelt
administration and with satire and
sarcasm arid ridicule showed up the
Republican party’., attempts to be
little Democratic administration
achievements.

Went to Norfolk over the week
end to rest. Had a wonderful time
and if everyone loved the beach as
I do now, they could close them aB
up from now on.
Someone made the statement
recently that a certain young fel

the loss of their neighbors. Remem

I only heard. IB
From a reliable source comes
the news that Cupid has run into

I understand that several young
men are playing the part of the
“disappointed lover” but that they
are still “around and about”.

less dress not only attracted many
idolent rays of sol, but also many
admiring eyes. That old saying
about “figures don’t lie, especially
in low back frocks” still holds, or
does it?
The voice of experience was
heard lamenting in the form qX a
local 15-year-old when he was
heard to remark: “I’m through witr
women. Dog-gone-it!” I don't know

was added for effect. At any rate,
it impressed me greatly. I think

he evidently can get more than the
