(Ehr Zebulon IRrrnrii VOLUME 10 THIS, THAT AND THE OTHER BY MRS. THEO. B. DAVIS As I have said before, I do not put in this column any recipe that has not been tried out in my own kitchen. Not that I doubt other wo men’s skill but because mine is an average kitchen and frequently re cipes call for equipment or ingre dients hard to come by at our house; in which case they are of no serv ice. The one below is the best simple cake recipe I have tried this year. It makes two medium size layers and tastes rich enough for any oc casion that calls for butter cake. Melt one-fourth cup of butter and break one egg in the cup with it. Then pour in enough sweet milk to fill the cup. Sift one cupful of plain flour and one teaspoonful baking powder with a scant cupful of sugar and add one-fourth tea sponful of mace. (Other flavoring may be used if preferred). Pour the butter-egg-milk-mixture over the dry mixture and beat it all un- j til you wish you had never heard of these directions. It is the beat ing that determines the texture of the cake. Bake it in a moderate oven. Use any filling liked. If you want to double the recipe j it is better to make it twice unless j you own ar. electric mixer; or un- 1 less you have a good strong wrist., I use one of those beaters that look , like a wide blade curved and split in several places, and I give the bat- j ter at least three hundred licks. It is probable that in our anxiety 1 and fear for our children we shall be doing more diagnosing than the j doctors during the next few weeks. I We don’t know much about infan-! tile paralysis but we are going to watch for symptoms regardless, o—o —o The best thing we can do is to listen to the doctors. It’s no special pleasure to them to recommend that children be kept at home or away from crowds, and while they don’t know everything they do know a great deal more about di sease prevention than we. We may hate to miss a good ma ny things that we shall have to stay away from in the immediate future; but it is far better to miss affairs than to run the risk of miss ing our children forever. We may believe in predestina tion “what is to be will be” and all the rest of it; but let us be sure to add to that belief the thought that it was also predestin ed that we should use all possible precautions in caring for the health of those too young to look after themselves. Let us cooperate in ev ery way with the State Board of Health and our local physicians. Nor until we have done our part do we have the right to depend up on the Lord to take care of the situation. Friends here will be interested to learn that small Joe Richert, Jr., of Marion, S. C., is recovering af ter an operation for appendicitis. His mother, formerly Miss Dim mock Massey, is also sick, having a case of mumps. THE FOUR COUNTY NEWSPAPER—WAKE, JOHNSTON, NASH AND FRANKLIN ZEBULON, NORTH CAROLINA, FRIDAY, MAY THIRTY-FIRST, 1935. Baby Abandoned “Have you seen the new baby?” was the question asked a great ma ny persons on Zebulon streets last Saturday morning. Not that babies are any great novelty in this town though their advent is always news but this special baby was not brought to Zebulon by a stork or a doctor, but by men in a green coupe. It was left on the porch of the C. B. Eddins home between 9:00 and 10:00 Friday night, and Mike Eddins, one of the sons of the fam ily, saw the man who carried the basket and left it on the porch, had been on an errand and was returning home. He was not near enough to identify the person ( who sped away as rapidy as possi ble. The baby, a boy about a week old, wore only a shirt and diaper and was warmly covered with blan kets, one blue one pink. In the bas ket were a bottle of warm milk, a can of evaporated milk, a bottle of olive oil, powder and a rattle that bore signs of having been used by an older child. Mrs. Eddins was sick in bed, but got up to look after the infant, which was kept until the next af ternoon. A message to Raleigh brought Mrs. Bickett, county wel fare worker, who took the baby un til a home is found for it. ———————————— Where Many Races Meet ■ Commencement exercises on May 29 and 30 of this year mark the ! close of one of the most successful ' years of operation of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, lo cated in Louisville, Kentucky, sci ! the student body of 348 men there were more than thirty young min isters from North Carolina. The student body was made up of men from many state* of the Union, and from Mexico, Canada, Cuba, China, Japan, Russia, India, England, Ire land, New Zealand, Spain, Brazil, Roumania and Africa. The working j together of men from so many parts of the earth toward one great cause resulted in a better understanding of world conditions and world life for all concerned. Most of us, whether we realize it or not, are characterized by some sense of race prejudice. However, when one has lived and worked with Christians of other races such prejudices give wa yto a feeling of love and brotherhood. North Amer ica is noted for its feeling of su periority, but working with Chris tian men of other nations causes one to realize that they are as in telligent and a* good, and in many respects better, than we are. Many people go through life misinformed about habits, living conditions and attitudes in other countries. Daily I life with natives of other countries greatly corrected such misinforma tion in the minds of the students I of this country. No situation could be more ideal and inspiring for any man than living, working and wor shipping with such a fine group of Christian men from all over the world. —Garland A. Hendricks. Thou must be true thyself, If thou the truth wouldst teach. CHURCH NEWS Pastor Herring announces that there will be preaching services at the Baptist Church next Sunday for grownups; children will not be fexpected to attend because of health conditions. The Fidelis Class held their quar terly meeting on Tuesday night in the home of Mrs. Connie Debnam with Mrs. Bernice Bunn joint host ess. Plans were made for special work by members of the class and offi cers were re-elected, after which a social hour and refreshments were enjoyed. The Daily Vacation Bible School at the Baptist Church was discon tinued because of the presence in the county of infantile paralysis. And until further notice there will be no primary department in the Sunday School. The Northside Circle of the Bap tist W. M. S. met on Monday p. m. in the home ofMrs. R. H. Herring. Mrs. Lester Green had charge of the program, which was based on Medical Missions. The meeting of the Central Cir cle was postponed for a week. The Circle of the Methodist W. M. S. held the regular meeting on Manday p. m. with Mrs. F. D. Finch hostess and Mrs. A. R. House in charge of the program. The subject for the day was pray er. WAKEFIELD Revival services will begin at Wakefield Baptist Church on Sun day night of this week. Dr. Carl Townsend, pastor of the Hayes- Barton Church of Raleigh will do the preaching. The music will be di rected by the pastor, Rev. C. L. Ousley. Services will be held each afternoon at 3:00 and at night at 8:00. The public is cordially invited to attend. Club News The final meeting for the spring of the Zebulon Woman’s Club was [held on Tuesday p. m. Mrs. Ray mond Pippin, the new president, called for reports of the year’s work in the various departments. It was decided to combine the departments of music and litera 1 - ture for next year. Tentative chang es in the work of other departments were discussed, but not finally dis posed of. Mrs. A. S. Bridges, delegate to the State Federation meeting in Elizabeth City, gave her report, stating that the many-sidedness of club work as discussed at the meeting impressed her greatly. She mentioned the fact that 24 girls have been loaned money for college expenses from a fund contributed by club women of the state and that 22 of these girls are at pres ent repaying their loans. Miss Bale of Kentucky, guest of Mrs. Bridges, gave a short en joyable talk on her recent trip to Europe, speaking particularly of Naples, Pompeii and Mt. Vesuvius. A social hour followed adjourn ment. Refreshments were served by Mrs. Norman Screws and Mrs. Ted Davis, hostesses for the day. Suggestions By Dr. J. 0. Newell Dr. J. O. Newell has had person al experience with an epidemic of poliomyelitis, or infantile paraly sis. He knows of more than a dozen children crippled by it in a section of another county. From his work and study he has learned things which impel him to pass on the following suggestions in order to help create and sustain a margin of safety at the present time. Public meetings of all kinds that children might attend should be banned. Handshaking and kissing as commonly practiced should be refrained from for the time of the epidemic or completely barred. No more effective means of strewing germs could easily be found than for one to cough into a handker chief put the handkerchief into his pocket and then shake hands with some one. Children who waken in the morn ing feeling tired and sluggish should be looked after and compe tent advice sought at once. Delay may be costly in more ways than one. Seen And Heard BETTER PAY YOUR PREACHER A gentleman in town the other day from Middlesex, explained the hail storm’s hitting Zebulon and missing other town’s nearby, by saying we had not paid our preach er. But the preachers were hit too. Rev. R. H. Herring’s house was so badly damaged that he says he will have to put a new roof on it. So whether the storm was a visitation of providence or not, the Baptist folks had better pay their preacher or he will have to live without a roof over him. OLD HAND AT NEW JOB You ought to have seen chief of police Tharrington Monday down at the city hall and filtering plant as he not only directed the job of ' tarring the roof of the storage room, but got right down to work himself. And he konws how to do it too. PLAYING SAFE S. Z. Gill has new screen wire on his office door. And that is not all. He has a piece of heavier wire ov r the screen wire and another piece on the outside. When asked why, he said a fellow celebrating what he hoped from the next election ran through the door. “WOTTAMAN!” A gentleman told us yester day about a young man from Chalv beate Springs. He has just graduat ed from Wake Forest. His work was so satisfactory that he was not required to stand any of his final examinations. He went home last week-end. Hands were needed in the crop, so early Monday morning he hitched up a mule and plowed all day. Tuesday morning he went up to Wake Forest and got his sheepskin, going home and into the Continued On Page Seven WARNING! Shall WeMeet? For weeks and weeks the Record has kept before the people of this section the announcement of the vo cal union scheduled for next Sunday in the Wakelon Auditorium. Four teen choirs and quartets have reg istered to take part and there has been a feeling that this would be perhaps the largest gathering of its kind yet held around here. But the coming of infantile par alysis has changed matters so that it is thought by many that it would be extremely dangerous for so ma ny to be together. Zebulon doctors regretfully but decidely agreed that a warning should be issued empha sizing the peril of taking children to the vocal union and adding that no one of any age is absolutely im mune from infantile paralysis. Children under ten years are es pecially susceptible. While it is a disappointment to suggest that the public stay away from the union instead of attending we should remember that the songs can wait and that germs of disease will not, if present. Drs. Flowers, Barbee and New ell wish it stated that they have no authority to forbid gatherings; but their feeling of duty compels them to advise against all such meetings until the situation chang es.
