] ©he Zebulmt tßrcorh VOLUME XIII ++++*+++++++++++++++++++ I This, That And | | The Other. J ♦ MRS. THEO. B. DAVIS * 4* ■* Did you ever eat Cush? Webster defines it as being bread or crack ers boiled or seasoned in water in which meat has been cooked. And he locates it as being a Southern word. My first serving of cush was eat en at the Kennedy Home and was made with canned salmon. It is another of those dishes that come ; in handy to know about when in a , hurry or when the housekeeping j budget is partially crippled and needs a crutch. You open a can of salmon and drain off all the liquid into a saucepan—or a frying-pan or whatever you happen to have handy or like to cook in. Set it on the stove and as it heats chop into it a small onion. Next add the sal mon from the can, having remov ed any skin and bone that may have been put up with it, and break ing the fish into small pieces. Gent ly stir in enough bread to thicken the mixture. It should be about half eornbread and the rest may be , cold biscuit or what is left of a loaf, and it, too, should be in small pieces. Use black pepper to suit your taste. Put in a little butter and set the container where the cush may have time to get used to itself before being served. You might bake it until it is brown on top. Don't try to call it salmon loaf nr apvthinqr fancy. It may be that Thanksgiving makes me think specially of the orphanages and cush, though, as I said, they are already connected in my mind. When an extra effort Record galley TWO is made to provide plenty of nour ishing food at low cost you’ll find orphanage workers lined up to learn about it. Which is quite as it should be. It is our place to pro vide funds as we are able and their place to stretch them as far as pos sible. The results are frequently such as to make us all proud. Mv oldest grandson, not quite nine, amused me last summer by his manner of speaking of “The Poor.” He used the words as if meaning some nationality and one could tell that they were capitaliz ed in his mind. One day I asked him who were The Poor and he I gravely answered: “I am not quite sure who they are nor how they look, but they live in some part of Philadelphia, and we are asked to send them things to eat and to wear.” I asked if any were in Swarthmore where he lives and he said he thought not; that if so, he had never seen them. His mother explained that social workers called on Swarthmore of ten for help, since it is a residen tial section with no acute problems of its own and that Jack had thus acquired the idea that the poor 1 w ere a race separate and apart. While they lived in the South the child had frequently gone with his i mother, who was chairman of per- ' sonal service in her church, when 1 she took food or clothing to desti- 1 tute families or to sick persons; 1 but to him they were neighbors I one wanted to be nice to. Nobody < referred to them as charity cases \ THE FOUR COUNTY NEWSPAPER—WAKE, JOHNSTON, NASH AND FRANKLIN ZEBULON, NORTH CAROLINA, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER TWENTY-SEVENTH, 1936 0 Give Thanks Unto the Lord; For He Is Good: For His Mercy Endureth Forever. The Kings of the earth may set themselves and the rulers take counsel together saying: Let us issue proclamations calling upon the people to give thanks upon a certain day for all the bles sings which have been conferred upon them dur ing the days of the year. And commands may go forth that this be done and many may seem to obey. But He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh and the Lord shall hold them in derision if this coming together be done for outward Club Column The Home Demonstration Club met on Wednesday p. m. of last week with Mrs. E. H. Bunn in charge of the program. She pre sented Mrs. Wiley Valentine, who spoke on Home-Making to the pleasure and edification of her hearers. Mrs. Willie Bullock gave a demonstration on making Toma to Puffs. She also explained the re quirements for an Award of Merit j and discussed Food for the Pre- School Child. The election of officers resulted in the re-election of all now serving A list with chairmen of committees will be published when complete. It was decided to hold the De cember meeting on the thirtieth of the month since the regular date — the 23rd—would probably mean a poor attendance. Mrs. Mclrmess will be present at the time set. Plans are rapidly taking shape for the Womanless Wedding to be staked at Wakelon on the evening of Friday, December 11. At that time leading citizens of Zebulon and community will act as bride, bridesmaids and flower girls as well as taking the places of bride groom, ushers and best man. An evening of rare amusement is prom ised and a full house is. expected. Proceeds will be used for play ground equipment and other es sential expenses of the recreation work. Mrs. H. C. Wade and Miss Eve lyn McCullers are at work with the preparation incidental to presenta tion. Grace, beauty and charm will be supplied by the characters themselves. Watch next week’s pa j per for the cast. At the last regular meeting of the Junior Woman’s Club, Thurs day, November 19, Dorothy Bar row presented an interesting pro gram on women in politics. Esther Lee Coxe, Marie Watson and Dot Jones discussed highlights of Elea nor Roosevelts life and political activities. Jo Dunlop talked on Frances Perkins. and he had a very personal inter est in them. Many of us seem to feel about orphans as Jack did about The Poor, that they are a distinct class . to themselves and not just children I who need homes. If we could really know them personally, it might touch our pocketbooks as well as i our hearts, which is a definite and i practical touch. i THANKSGIVING Public Character Coming to Zebulon only last year, the subject of this week’s sketch has become well known and takes an active part in civic affairs of the town and community. His work is with the only organization of its kind in Zebulon. He belongs 1 to the local Rotary Club, is a member of the Masonic Order, a Royal Arch Mason, belongs to the Knights of Templar.

Came to Zebulon from Ashe ville, Sept. 1935. i _ Seen and Heard OLD MAN HAPPY VS NEW ROLE? The latest gyp comes from the colored section of town where a man declaring himself to be ‘Old Man Happy” of birthday party fame over WPTF told a local color ed woman in town that he could prove he was Old Man Happy with magic. In fact, he would change S2O into S4O. The colored woman got the necesary S2O bill and gave it to our friend. He placed the mon ey in an envelope before her eyes and gave it to her to seal. She seal ed and placed it on a shelf out of his sight as directed. He informed her that he would be back in an hour to open the envelope for her and give her the S4O. Alas, at the end of two hours the good man had not returned so the colored woman opened the en velope to find a blank piece of pa per. N©r has she seen her “Old Man Happy” since. LESS TEMPTATION . The young Zebulonian who found SIIOO.OO Tuesday of this week re marked that there might have been more temptation to keep the amount if it had been in cash in stead of checks. Anyway, it was re stored to the rightful owner. show and if in their hearts they feel not such depths of gratitude that they are not only willing but eager to share of their substance with those who are deserting and in need. Knowing, then that the eyes of the Lord are in every place beholding the evil and the good and that He sees even the thoughts in our minds and the desires of our hearts, let us assemble ourselves together realizing that no earthly proclamation has power to evoke thanks giving; that it comes as the tribute of love to the Giver of every good and perfect gift. Bear ing in our hearts gratitude and in our hands an offering, let us enter into His courts with praise.

NUMBER 21 THE SWASH- BUCKLER JHHHi Customs certainly do change. older than I am, I can remember when a girl smoking a cigarette was almost as bad as one was tak | ing a drink of liquor a couple of I years atfo. Os course, all of us who are broad-minded don’t mind see ing a broad even take a chew of tobacco or a dip of snuff. Somehow, a drunk lady (?) is rather revolting. Maybe I haven’t been out enough, or something. At any rate, I’m darn gad ay wife doesn’t get pie-eytd for a thrill. Even words change from time to time, take for instance, the word “Fizzle” a perfectly good '\ord us<- ed by radio announcers and in the headlines of our leading iewspa pers. Yesterday, to say Fizzle in society was unpardonable. Most anyone can r “me aber when to be on relief was s mu hing to be remorseful about. Old customs, however, are quite intriguing. Take the custom follow ed years ago in the monarch errs. Once a year all the king’s subje<ts brought fine gifts to the king. One fine gift day the king is on the end of the receiving line a id his dear people were bringing h m the best of their all. One brouj ht a nice gold set of goblets, anotl er a set of fine silverware and so on until an uncle of mine brought in a bunch of bananas. Now my un cle didn’t know it, but this wa; a pretty stiff breach of etiquette, and the king was very very angry. “Spitting out his chew of Apple, the king shouted, “Take that man out behind the barn and jam every one of those bananas down his throat!” The guards grabbed my uncle and proceeded as directed. When halfway down the bunch, uncle fell to laughing as Inough he would die. The guards, naturally quite cur ious, questioned him thus: “Whyfore Jaughest thou whilst we rammest these bananas downst thy throat?” “Oh” said my ancestor, “I was just thinking about my brother, he’s bringing the king a load of wa termelons!” And the drunk who brought the skunk home with him was ques tioned by his wife—“ What about the odor?— “Oh,” replied our hero as he tied him under the bed, “He’ll just have to get ushed to it like I did.” Mrs. Simpson is certainly being taken for a ride these fine days by the- local jokesters. Hey. Hey. Some fun. Well, that Thanksgiving dinner, whether it be the most priceless of meats, o r drffs and dravey; may there be no mouths that will go hungry, nor any backs unclad this Thanksgiving day. Sincerely, The Swashbuckler
