Slip Zebttlmt ißerurb VOLUME XIII ++^++++ , >+++++'i , +++ , i*^+++++ | This, That And ! * The Other. $ f MRS. TIIEO. B. DAVIS 1 4* & 4» E*y invitation of Miss Anna John ston, technician with the Health Cfinter in Raleigh, I attended on Tuesday of last week a luncheon meeting- of the Raleigh Business and Professional Women’s Club. It was a pleasure, as regards hos tess, occasion and food. Tuesday was terribly hot, but I made ar. effort to do the correct thing and took along my white gloves to wear. Attending to several errands before time for the luncheon, I carefully car? ed the glovee in my handbag. Starting to put them on, I managed to get one right. The other hand was so wet I couldn’t got it farther than the wrist of the glove and gave up trying. It was a relief to see that my hostess went bareheaded and barehanded. The president of the club is Miss Edith Gilbert, who used to teach a * Wakei'on. One of the members, Miss Mae Reynolds, is state president of the B. & P. W. clubs, and I’ve known her since before she was grown. Thore was Mrs. Bickett, asking the club for money to buy a loom for the sewing-room women to use in rug making; Mrs. W. T. Bost, who introduced the guest speaker; Mrs. Mollie Fields whom I knew when she used to live in LaGrange; these, with the others to whom I was introduced, weire friendly as could be. Miss Gilbert saw to the trans action of business with enviable efficiency. A special project report ed by a special committee was the listing of unemployed women in the city, with added information .. to ability for special work. The speaker, Miss Mary Laba ree of the Children’s Bure/au in Washington spoke on her work emphasizing its possibilities, and explaining the greateir advantages of Motheirs’ Aid over other relief plans where this is possible. She did not talk long and the women hurried back to their jobs—or per haps I should say positions. I sat there and thought of our own club in Zebulon. We are* rot business women, though many of us are busy all day long, nor are many of us professional. But we are trying to do much the same thing that those women in Raleiigh are doing and we are doing it in practically the same way. We don’t have luncheon meetings because) it is more convenient for us to get away from home in the afternoon and we do not have the same oppor tunity to secure speakers from out side. But the general idea is the same in both clubs, and in hun dreds of others. Into my mind came these words from the collect: “the great com mon woman’s heart of us all”. And I realized anew that we need nev er feel discouraged about doing small things if only they are the right things. Not that I think the Zebulon Club has limited itself to small un dertakings. When you consider that the club bouse here has had no ben- THE FOUR COUNTY NEWSFAFER—WAKE, JOHNSTON, NASH AND FRANKLIN ZEBULON, NORTH CAROLINA, FRIDAY, JULY TWENTY-FOURTH, 1936 SEEN & HEARD BIG BEEF Did you see that big beef Wal lace Teimple killed Wednesday? His father Lorenza said it would weigh 1,000 pounds and was just about the biggest beef ever killed for the local market. And Lorenza has killed enough cattle to know what he is talking about. A GOOD WOMAN Someone said there were six preachers at Mrs. R. L. Scarboro's funeral at Hephzibah church Tues.. day and if eithor one of them had been called on to speak of her life he would not have been embarrass, ed by anything he> wished to say concerning her. We know many good people, but talcing her life in every way, we know few bettor than Mrs. Scarboro’s. LOOKS LIKE A CITY STORE Have you noticed that store he ing remodeled on main streeit by Mr. Baer? It looks like a sure enough city store with its spacious entrance, big show windows, inside balcony and a lot of other modoru thngs. He is spending a lot of money on it and if the stock of merchandise he expects to put on sale about Aug. 15 looks as well as the building, it will bo some tine looking store. A GOOD MIXTURE The younger Mr. Watson who works with Mr. Crenshaw around at the fertilizer plant says that plenty of rain and hot sunshine mixed with the Home Fertilizer & Chemical Co.’s products can’t be beat when it comes to making things grow. A CLOSE SHAVE As we were on our way to church services at Hopkins Chapel last Sunday evening, a number of cars and a big crowd of folks were at the turn of the road at Mrs. Litt Jones’ just before one reaches Wakefield. Some one from down east had tried to make the turn too rapidly, missed the road, gone over the bank and shaved off a telephone post near the ground.. No one was seriously hurt, but the car looked something like a razor that had tried to shave off ten penny nails. Mr. and Mrs. William Bunn have returned home from a trip to Asheville. efit whatever from ERA, WPA, P W A, or even XYZ, it sfvems a pretty big enterprize for so few women to have carried so near completion. And when I remember that the clubhouse has been used as head quarters for some welfare work, for the sewing-room until other arrangements were made, for the circulation of library books during the summer, and is always avail able at the lowest possible price for church suppers, socials, etc., I am fully persuaded that it ia a valuable addition to the town’s fa cilities and am proud of hftTtof had some Hit to Htridtac it. Public Character Unusually well known in *bi< section is the subject of this week’s sketch. He belongs to the Masonic Order, the Junior Order and the Rotary CluO.

SCARBORO DEAD Hephzibah Church was crowded on Tuesday afternoon when fun . eral services were held for Mrs. R. H. Scarboro, who died at her homei on Sunday. Pastor L. R. Ev ans was assisted by Rev.

H., Jr., and Doris; three Bister; three half sisters; five brothers and one half brother. HAIL DAMAGES CROPS FARMERS BUSY Hail on last Friday afternoon did great damage to crops, esp“c ially tobacco, in the Bethany sec tion. While the storm did not cover a wide area it carried destruction where it struck. Some crops are an almost a total loss. It is said that the farmers that suffered losses only two had hail insurance. Both heat and rain were abun dant during the latter part of last week and the first of this. In some cases land was too wet for plowing In every case weeds and grass are growing in away to remind one of Jack’s beanstalk. Curing tobac co is well under way and the annu al farm rush has begun to last until the crop ia marketed. At The Churches The regular worship services will be held at the Methodist Church both morning and evening on next Sunday with Pastor Read preaching. Rev. E. R. Stewart of Fairfield is assisting Pastor Pippin in a re vival meeting at Rocky Cross this week. Due partly to rain last Sunday morning Sunday schools reported a small attendance. It is hoped that members will assemble in large numbers next Sunday that at least a fair average may be made for the month.
