slhe 2rlutlmt SL'rorii VOLUME XI. THIS, THAT AND THE OTHER BY MRS. THEO. B. DAVIS Ask any housekeeper which meal’s dishes she most dislikes to wash and the chances are she will say the ones from dinner, meaning! the noonday repast. And there’s a reason. Breakfast dishes are not ( so numerous as are those at dinner and one is not tired when the time I comes to wash them. Then, too,, they can be cleaned and put away while one might have to be in the kitchen anyway seeing to dinner. Supper dishes are also fewer than those for dinner and one knows that when they are clean the kitchen door may be closed for the night. But dinner dishes, stacked and piled on a table waiting for a tired worker are a depressing sight. Other members of the fam ily are probably resting after eat ing and one longs to lie down for a few minutes; but even in a nap there’d probably come a nightmare of dishes running away with spoons and all unwashed. It must be done and it is done, but there are few whc do not sigh with relief when it is over. And sometimes I get so worn out with cleaning up watermelon rinds and seeds that I feel I’ll be glad when the last one is gone. It’s not like living in a city where you just throw them into a garbage can; in the country' they must be saved for the cow or the pigs. Don’t let the chickens have many. If they get their combs wet with the juice it attracts insects which may cause an rritating soreness. Partly eat en halves of melons are specially bad in this way. If you are one of us who think plain apple jelly rather pathetic and who flavor it with one thing or another on the principle that it can’t help improving the stuff, here’s a hint. You kr ow those flowering quinces that bloom so early in the spring sometimes bear fruit. It is ripe now and has the most delightful odor. (When I was a chid 1 used to gel them from Grandma’s bush and use them for sachets to scent my Sunday clothes.) They are extremely sour and hard Try cutting one up with enough apple parings to make about four glasses of jelly and cooking them together proceeding as usual with the jelly-making. I tried it on Monday of this week and the result is delightful. The apples used were Grimes Golden and the jelly is honey-colored. It’s nice that we are going to have a bank in Zebulon again. So far as 1 am personally concerned, however, a bank is like heavy brass candlesticks on the mantel—very, very seldom used, but adding greatly to appearances. x And here is a quotation from a story in the last Atlantic Monthly. V ou can not fail to see its appro priateness in this column. “Around and around, like a toy train under a Christmas tree, whir red Mr. Fischer’s little thoughts.” Read the Record ads as well as the news.

THE FOUR COUNTY NEWSPAPER—WAKE, JOHNSTON, NASH AND FRANKLIN ZEBULON, NORTH CAROLINA, FRIDAY, AUGUST TRIRTIETH, 1935 Big Rally Day To Be Held At Pilot On Saturday, Sept. 7, there will be a big rally and homecoming day at Pilot Baptist Church.

C.—The meet ings of the congress of the Com munist International (Comintern) came to an end. During its sessions delegates from all countries had reported encouraging progress for! the party. American delegates had | boasted of leading the San Fran cisco dock strike, of “boring from , within.” When the sessions were j ! over, the United States lodged a | ‘ most emphatic protest” with the, i Soviet Government through Am -1 bassador William C. Bullitt. It said jthat the U. S. “anticipates bhe most , serious consequences” if the Soviet Government does not halt activities deemed to be a violation of the pledge signed in November, 1933, by Maxim Litvinoff, Soviet Foreign I Commissioner. The pledge stated that his government would restrain organizations from “propaganda I having as its aim the bringing about by force of a change in the political or social order of the whole or any part of the United Stages. Crime & Punishment In Germany Berlin, Germany—At the Inter national Penal and Penetentiary Conference in the Kroll Opera House, Nazi propagandists dominat ed the sessions. Germany’s Minis ter of Justice, Franz Guertner the Nazi slogan “No crime without punishment ” astounded foreign delegates by announcing that in the future Adolph’s Will rather than written lew will determine German justice. German delegates, outnum bering all others, passed a law damning prison education. 148 to 40. When the vote was called bv countries it was reversed 5 to 1. But th< Nazis won th'-ir battle. The. conference passed '• resolution call- I in" for '-terilization of crimi- I nals. more on rack page Club News The Home Demonstration Club held the August meeting on Wed nesday p. m. of this week. It was decided that the club as a whole would endeavor to cooperate with j the fairs to be held nearby this fall. There was no local program. Mrs. Mclnness gave a talk on her recent trip to Washington and New York and urged that club members endeavor to have some interest outside their routine work that their mnds may be broadened j and their lives enrched. As a dos- I ing feature she played on the | gramophone records of selections i from famous operas, giving short history of each. Mrs. Mclnness an nounced that there is l a probability of county club members making a trip to Washington in October and asked that all who would like to go communicate with her. The September meeting of the club at Wakefield will be the timo j for the bread contest. Not only | mmbers but all other interested women are asked to bring for judg ing a loaf of yeast bread or six rolls. Mrs. W. N. Pitts will be in charge of the day’s program and will supply any additional informa tion that may be desired. New Store To Open Zebulon’s newest department store will soon be open in the old j A. D. Antone store building nex* to Pink Medlin’s grocery store. It is to be a dollar store, carrying a full line of dry goods and mer chandise, none of which is to sell for more than a dollar. The store will open either next Tuesday or next Friday. The local stores, Shorr’s, Kan non’s, Antones’, and Flowers’, have just announced that their new fall goods have arrived and that they will have special low prices on them next Tuesday. From reports made public on Tuesday it appears (hat there are ' now only about 25 cases of polio myelitis iri the contagious Utage in North Carolina. The state ; ha:- had 5(50 cases this year. 'Villas i ~ Amusing, to say the least, was the gentleman who came (-o get me to unlock his door 1 ist Thursday night. I wouldn’t swear on the stanc ior the B >ob that he vv.-s in an inebriated state, but unless my nostrils fooled me greatly, he had imbibed quite freely of ye spiritu ous frumentum. At any rate when we arrived on the scene of the locked door, I found that the door was not locked! The rain had seep ed in and swelled it tight. Oh well, why go further? The gentleman of color, who lifted, first the keys, and then the ear from John Mclntyre must have thought our able night chief was “just another policeman” when he attempted to drive past him last Wednesday morning (very a. m.). ' Rut Jigg r s was a wee bit too sly for the dark one and picked him up long before he could see that gal he had borrowed the car to take riding.
