(Ebe Zebulon IRerorii THE FOUR-COUNTY NEWSPAPER—WAKE, JOHNSTON, NASH AND FRANKLIN. VOLUME 10 ! iHIS, TO I *N(3 THE OTHER: ! I i By Mrs. TKEO. B. DAVIS } i I ; * Twenty years ago there were a good many women in Zebulon who 1 dreaded to walk down street in the afternoon because there were al ways in tine weather several long benches on our main street filled with men who •razed at the passers by and the ladies feared that re marks were made. Skirts at that time were still below see level, but i we had begun to go abroad with only two petticoats on and many, of us felt rather conspicuous even if not stared at. Probably we imag ined that they looked at us much more than they did, but the dis comfort was real. Times have changed. For my part, when I go down town now I am too busy to think of whether the bench sitters see me, and I have not heard them mentioned for a long time. But 1 have heard sev eral persons speak of disliking to walk by the Zebulon Drug Store corner when a number of women’s cars are parked there for curb service. We change with the times. A friend lamented that in cook ing, pastry is her “Waterloo.” Well. Pm no Duke of Wellington myself when it comes to making pastry but 1 have found the fol lowing recipe gives good results and doesn’t insist upon having all ingredients ice-cold. For one good-sized pie and a few tiny ones to bake in muffin rings I use one cupful of plain flour, a pinch of salt and either one-third cupful of self-rising flour or one-fourth teaspoonful of bak ing powder and one-third cup more of plain flour. (The self-rising flour is easier, if you have it). To this add one-third cupful lard and work it into flour until the mixture is grainy, when enough cold water is used to make a stiff dough. Knead this lightly until it is smooth then lay it in a cool place for a while before rolling out the crust. This is no flaky, fancy pastry, out is! fine for chess pies and custards 1 that are poured in the crust before it is baked. It is durable enough to stand being lifted, but good enough | to eat. A delightful note from Mrs. J. P. Winston reminds me that even Dickens got mixed as to seasons in his stories and mentions his hav- j ing Squeers send Nicholas Nickle- j by to weed the garden when the | weather was bittef cold. And 1 was amused to find ( aro ljne Miller in ‘ Lamb in His Bosom” have Cean out gathering some of her gourds while they were small, j to use for salt and such, leaving, the rest to grow bigger for holding I eggs and soft soap. It s all right to use them that way— l’ve seen it done —but the ones gathered green would shrink and shriveland could never be cut and cleaned nor used in any way. And how they would smell! However, the funniest slip I re member was made by a painter who depicted a w-oodland party. The flowers and the butterflies were there and one guest was a large hornworm which was seated —only j ZEBULON. NORTH CAROLINA, FRIDAY, MARCH TWENTY-SECOND. 1935 Attention!

On last Saturday a buyer from Raleigh bought about 3000 pounds of chickens from Zebulon and Middlesex. He plans to be here . gain next Saturday morning and at Middlesex in the p. m. Should the market justify it, he may come weekly for some time. that’s the wrong word —in a chair with his horn up. And anybody who has watched hornworms knows they eat with the end that hasn t the horn. Os course it’-: easier to be a critic than author or artist.

NUMBER 38 CAUGHT | IN THE TRAP By The Plumber’s Friend A Schoolboy’s Explanation Water is composed of two gins, Oxygin and Hydrogin. Oxygin is pure gin, Hydrogin is gin with wa ter in it. —Actual Exam. Paper Backward Boys It is not always the boy who gives the brightest promise in ear ly life who reaches the greatest heights as many illustrious exam ples prove. In a recent lecture, Dr. Tregold, an eminent British ex pert on feeblemindedness, declared that Sir Isaac Newton was back ward as a child, and would prob ably have been considered subnorm al by present day authorities. He may also be reminded that Richard Brimsley Sheridan, the great dramatist was characterized by his own brilliant mother as an | “impenetrable dunce.” Similar stor ies are told of early dullness on the part of Sir Walter Scott, Thackery Wellington, Cromwell, and even the great Napoleon. Our own General Grant, while always mentally alert, was a ne’er do-woll during a part of his life, and although he had performed creditable service in the Mexican i war, resigned from the Army in 1 1854 and at the outbreak of the Civil War vas a clerk in a store at Galena, 111. Yet he became the first ever to hold the rank of a full general in the U. S. Army and was President eight years. Those examples, with many oth ers which might be cited, should he encouraging to those who may be considered below- the average during the school years. lnd ependent, Nauvoo, 111. The Rockland (N. Y.) Messenger tells the story of the cops and the magistrates who pitched in to help out a 23-year-old girl who had bad sight and who was pinched by a special cop on the subway for ped dling pins and needles. The cops checked up on her story and found that she had been sup porting a three-year-old sister in a T 2.50 per week room by the few pennies she got from peddling since she lost a salesgirl’s job on account of mistakes due to her poor c ye sight. So she wouldn’t have to go to jail, the magistrate held court in nis home and accepted her word as ’■id; o h con’-’ reach the magis trates’ home (he inspector lent his car; and the sergeant who hud tried to save the girl from arrest by :he special cop bought her a dinner and gave her a bun. It’s welcome to read about the strong arms of the law lending assistance to an unfortunate who in the strict int rpretation of the law is a violator (and the judge also promised the poor, unfortu nate gir! to secure a joh for her).
