3Thc Zrlutlmt ißrrnrii VOLUME 10 THIS, THAI i AND THE OTHERj By Mrs. TIIEO. B. DAVIS j Honesty and justice demand that I apologize to Emily Post, who has at last said something of value to me. She replied to a question as to whether a hostess, entertaining without a maid, should serve from the left and remove dishes from the right without variance. Mrs. Post said that a hostess serves and removes dishes exactly as is most convenient when she does the work herself; that it is not fitting that a lady doing the entertaining follow too closely rules laid down for servants. Now, that’s wliat I call good com mon sense; and it leaves the places of the high and mighty and comes right down the road to the small house where I live. There’s some thing to this etiquette business, af ter all. Government experts tell us that no family of five can live decently on less than two thousand dollars a year. I am almost overcome by the desire to reply, “Sez you!” Per haps I should be filled with shame over the many years that I have lived in a manner that the above mentioned figure would class as indecent; but instead I find myself ashamed of the persons who can in all gravity issue such statements. What do they know about it any way? And just what do they mean by “decent living”? The woman who, in the average small town, cannot provide the necessities of living and some of the refinements for a family of five on less than two thousand dol lars a year is lacking in both in dustry and brains. Not long ago I read a clever magazine article in which a rather famous traveler described some unusual foods eaten on some of the journeyings into far countries. One in particular was emphasized for its special deliciousness —and lo and hehold it was the very same recipe Mrs. Antone gave me nearly two years ago with some of the meat prepared by it. Os course it is a Syrian dish and the traveler had eaten it in Syria—where my neighbor learned to cook it. You mix mutton, finely chopped, or ground, with nut meats, and wheat that has been partially cook ed and then dried (something on the order of our oatmeals). You season it all rather highly with salt, pepper and garlic, shape it into pieces like weiners, wrap each piece separately in a grape leaf, steam the little bundles until ten der and eat grape leaf meat and all together. Very odd and foreign, but I like it. Mrs. Antone can tell you all about it. I think she some times uses beef instead of mutton. When Mrs. J. A. Beam and her daughter, Mrs. Bailey, and the two ' little girls stopped in to see me for a few minutes Tast Saturday I felt gratified that Mrs. Beam took me for my mother. It would have been too bad not to have changed some (Continued on page four) THE FOUR-COUNTY NEWSPAPER—WAKE, JOHNSTON, N ASH AND FRANKLIN. ZEBULON, NORTH CARO! AN A, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY FIFTEENTH, 1935 Highway Work Is Progressing Work on the highway between Zebulon and Wendell is being push ed as rapidly as weather conditions allow. At the time of this writing the added width on one side has been finished for several miles and the other side is being prepared for the pouring of concrete. Ihe narrowness of the highway, since the shoulders cannot be used, makes travel more hazardous and demands careful driving. It will be a tremendous improvement when both sides of the highway are open mi and the shoulders as well as the extra four feet of width can be used. TO SERVE AS JURORS Among the names of men drawn by Wake County Commissioners to serve as jurors for the one-week criminal term of Superior Court in March and for two civil terms of two weeks each are the following from Little River Township: Criminal term—Edwin I).

A Correction In last week’s Re ord it was stated in the Recorder’s Court pro ceeding that Walter -Morris was charged with being drunk and op erating a car under the influence of liquor. We wish to state that this Walter Morris was from Ral eigh and was not from Zebulon as might be inferred from the report. Our Walter Morris can drive a car alright, but we have newr en or known of 1 i--. being under the influence of lienor driving a car. Walker Cels 15 Years for Assault Tried for his life on a charge of criminal assault, Garland Walker escaped negro convict, was found guilty by a Wake county jury of attempted assault and was sen tenced by Judge Clawson Williams to serve fifteen years in state pris on.

The Ida Fisher Missionary So ciety was in charge of the flow ers. Hauptmann Guilty After what is probably tho most expensive trial in criminal history, Bruno Hauptmann was found guil ty in the kidnaping and murder of the Lindberrh baby by the jury af ter 12 hours deliberation. Immediately after the jury each in turn declared him guilty, judge Trenchard pronounced the death penalty to take place March 18. The verdict was no surprise to he people generally, for the evi dence, though circumstantial, most overwhelmingly pointed to Haupt mann’s guilt. With his death will end what Hauptmann represented as the most sensational and widely advertised crime in the history per haps of the world. Os one thing about hell we can be dead sure, it will be exactly what justice makes it; no better, I no worse. Church News BAPTIST The regular preaching services will be held at the Baptist Church on next Sunday morning and even ing. The general meeting of the Bap tist W. M. S. for Feb. was held at the church on last Monday p. m.. with the Central Circle in charge of the program. During the business session it was decided to observe the season of prayer for Home Mis sions in March. Tentative plans were made for attending sessions of the State W. M. U. meeting in Durham in March. METHODIST Pastor Read will fill his appoint ments at Wendell next Sunday. The Methodist W. M. S. had an unusually good meeting on Mon day p. m. Mrs. S. G. Flowers direct ed the program, assisted by Mes dames A. R. House and Jethro Stell. A duet by Mrs. Coltrane and Mrs. House added interest. HALES CHAPEL Pastor Theo. B. Davis will preach at Hales Chapel next Sun day afternoon r.t 3:00. Sunday School at 2:30. Boulder Dam Now Completed Boulder Dam, constructed to form the largest lake ever made *iy human force has been nearly enough completed for the three million pound gate to be lowered into place to check the flow of the Colorado River. It is estimated that it will take three years for the lake to be filled, at which time it is ex pected to extend back for 115 miles up the canyons of the river. Not only is this lake supposed to fur nish flood control and water sup ply, but also to be used for the gen eration of electricity for the sur rounding region. The cost of the project was $385,000 000. Noted Writer Dead Corra Harris famous author, died last week at her home in Geor gia. She was 68 years old, the wi dow of a Methodist minister. From her own experience as a circuit rider’s wife she drew the material for her book by that name, perhaps the best of all her writ ings. Beginning to write because of desperate necessity, her output of work was large for a number of years, though she has done but lit tle recently. The Georgia legisla ture, in session, paused to pay tri bute to this daughter who had spoken worthily and well. Club News The regular monthly meeting of the Department of Literature of the Woman’s Club will be held on next Tuesday evening, Feb. 19, at the club house. A program of in terest and information is being pre pared and a full attendanse is de sired. Mrs. F. E. Bunn, Chmn.. Be slow to threaten your child, and never lie about it. NUMBER 32 Comes to mind the pessimist who was so pessimistic that he was kicking because he had nothing to kick about. And there’s this to say for a short court-ship—if both parties are fools they never find it out, and live happily ever after. Be ye who ye may, if thy wife laughs at thy joke, you’ve either got a good wife or a good joke! Through deep concentration and much research, it has been recently discovered that Eve made the first New Year’s resolution when she turned over a new leaf. Don’t get tangled up in the whis kers on that one Mac. And some people in this town think their names should be in “Who’s Who” because they hire their washing and ironing done. The most sincere man uncon sciously embellishes the truth with a little plain and fancy lying. Incidentally to those of you who saw “The Mighty Barnum”, it was a right good picture but did you know they wandered a bit from facts in the making? James A. Bailey or P. T. Bar num never took a drink. Bailey is depicted as a drunkard and Barnum as saying: “There is a sucker born every minute.” What Barnum real ly said was: “People are funny, They like to be fooled.” The book from which the picture was taken is the work of P. M. Mc- Clintock, Detroit. He wants you to know that he had no part in the illy-conceived talkie. Sinon Collins, Topeka, (Kas.) loaned his collec tion of books and pictures to the producers for the story and says such an unfavorable impression could never have been formed from bis collection. Oh Well— Still, all the words in the Lind berg-llauptmann case, placed end to end, led to the electric chair. If you are driving in a “T”— Someone follows in a “V”. If your judgement is quite sound you will let him go around. That’s Horse Sense. But, bull headed that you are, and quite proud of that old car, you don’t want to let him pass, so you step down on the gas. That’s Nonsense. If you don’t quite make the grade, and you lead a slow parade, and they l : ght a waxen taper and you sniff a fragrant vapor, That’s Incense. But Common Sense, I find, is not very well defined. Just the every day old grind that beats disaster. Rev. Theo. B. Davis was called to Chalybeate Springs on last Sat urday to assist in funeral services for a special friend, Evander Smith Mr. Smith was long a prominent member of the Chalpbeate Springs Baptist Church, being a deacon at the time of hi a death.
