CHURCH 1
fINNOINCEMEmS
DEDICATION SERVICE
A congregation that filled the
auditorium of the Baptist church
almost to capacity gathered for
the dedication service last Sunday.
Many friends from other churches
were among the number.
A choir of children sang Lift Up
Your Heads, O, Ye Gates as a pre
lude. Dr. Townsend preached on
A Worthy Church, emphasizing
the facts of Duty, Responsibility,
and Opportunity. He declared the
church should touch the whole life
of the whole man; that a worthy
church must have a worthy pro
gram; that the membership must
be actively Christian, conscious of
the church’s mission and able
through Christ to accomplish it.
Following the sermon Pastor
Herring spoke briefly of the final
payment on the church debt, cul
minating years of effort, and of
loyalty of many who were faithful
through all discouragements until
the amount was raised. Treasurer
John Kemp came to the front with
a bundle of cancelled notes, which
were burned. A short history of
the church with names of pastors
was given by Theo. B. Davis. John
Broughton gave a roster of former
leading members who have died-
Mrs. J. A. Kemp, who has been a
member of the organization for
63 years, was given special recog
nition. J. M. Whitley was mention
ed as having been a member for
more than 50 years. Special men
tion was also made of the “third
John”—J .D. Horton —who so faith
fully worked toward the reduction
of the debt. Mrs. L. M. Massey
sang a solo, The Holy City and the
final prayer was led by the pastor.
The revival meeting at the Bap
tist church closed on Sunday night
There were 33 additions for bap
tism and by letter or relation. Dr.
Townsend’s sermons were heard by
large congregations and were well
received, both his personality and
his message being liked here.
The ordinance of baptism will be
administered by the pastor at the
Baptist church at the close of the
evening worship on the first Sun
day in July AH candidates are
requested to be ready on that date.
T
DAYS TO SHORTEN
With the official beginning ot
summer on June 21 comeg the re
minder that the length of days wil
begin to decrease until the latter
part of December. The difference
will net be noticeable for weeks,
but the September equinox i» the
next fixed date for the .seasons—
which in these parts pay little at
tention to the calendar.
BASEBALL HERE SATURDAY

On Saturday the home team

berest and cooperation.
WAKE GOES WET
The majorities turned in against
‘‘liquor control” in Wake county on
Tuesday were put in a total minor
ity by the Raleigh vote. Wake coun
ty going for control by a majority
of 1,300. All smaller towns in the
county went dry', with the exception
of Gamer. Zebulon voted: For
Stores, 220 Against Stores, 269.
Mitchell's Mill vote of 116 for and
43 against, the precinct going wet
by a majlrity of 24.
It is expected that the Board of
Commissioners will at once appoint
a board of alcoholic control and
that the first store will open inside
a month.
The balloting is hailed by the
county chairman of the wets as “a
great victory for temperance”.
Wake’s voting places the county
as the fifth to go for control and
ties the result in the state to date,
ten counties having held elections
this year. The others going wet
are Durham, Dare, Washington and
Johnston. Nash and Franklin had
liquor stores before 1937, as did a
number of other counties^
Postoffice Painted
The inside walls and ceiling of
the rooms occupied by the postof
fice are receiving new coats of
paint in ivory and seal brown. This
improvement is quite noticeable,
and while it will probably add noth
ing to efficiency in the distribu
tion of mail ,does make for attrac
tiveness and for comfort in that it
lessens eye-strain through provid
ing more light.
N. B. The front windows of the
Record Shop have been washed.
HIKING TRIP
Wiht Dr. J. F. Coltrane mainly
responsible and with Mrs. Coltrane
/adding and abetting, some two
dozen boys in or near their teens en
joyed this week a hike to Clifton's
Pond .fifteen miles away.
Plans hade been made carefully,
“rations” of bacon, bread, potatoes,
eggs, and butter had been provided
with a blanket for each boy and
with a separate lunch packed for
Tuesday. This impedimenta was
loaded into the Coltrane car be
fore the hikers left at 5:03 a. m.
with Dr. Coltrane. Later in the
morning Mrs. Coltrane drove to
the pond to deliver the load and in
cidentally to pick up walkers who
might have fallen by the wayside.
Most of the boys made the distance
under their own power, though
some added hitch-hiking to hiking.
Late Tuesday afternoon, D. C.
Pearce, G. K Corbett, A. S. Hinton,
C. E. Parker and M. T. Debnam,
whose sons were in the party, went
to the pond carrying lemons, ice and
fish as an addition to the 3upper.
which they helped consume. A. S.
Hinton spent the night with the
crowd.
The boys might have sung that
line of hymn which goes “My rest a
stone” as they went to sleep upon
—or among rocks. But they
were tired, full .and happy, and
they slept, not even the prize-fight
via radio keeping them all awake
to its finish.
The return to Zebulon was on
Wednesday morning when the Deb
nam, Hinton and Corbett cars aid
ed transportation.
Boys making the trip were: Jef

NUMBER 52
SWASH- A
BUCKLER
Browsing thru a pile of jokes
clipped from a 1931 Ballyhoo I find
the following.
First up is the one about the gent
who, while in an inebriated state
went into a barber shop to get
a bottle of hair tonic. The barber
informed him that the tonic would
grow hair over-night.
Next morning the gentleman
again visited the barber—
“ Hey! That stuff you gave me to
grow hair ish no good. Look at the
bumps on my head.”
“Oh, my goodness,” replied the
near-sighted barber, ‘‘l gave you
a bottle of my new bust-developer.”
And the gal who told her mother
that a local boy had tried to put his
arm around her three times the
night before, and her mother com
mented— “Gosh, what an arm!”
Over in Wake Forest recently
I saw one of the local young men
and wishing to find out a few facts
asked “Are you a college man?”
“Oh”, no he replied, “A horse
just stepped on my hat.”
Overheard in Raleigh, corner of
Fayetteville and Hargett—
“What kind of a dog is that?”
“He’s a spaniel, ma’m.”
“My, my, isn’t it a good thing he
isn’t over there now?”
Red McCarthy’s (Wake Forest)
instructions for finding an intelli
gent girl—
“ Tickle her under the Chin. If
she laughs, she’s intelligent; if she
don’t, duck!
And Little Audry laughed and
laughed. She knew everyone was
a danged fool for reading her jokes.
DOG STORY NUMBER 2
Pardon me. my friend, but is that
a genuine blood-hound you have on
your leash?”
“Sure—Oscar, come over here
and bleed for the man!”
And the lady who telephoned the
desk clerk in a leading Raleigh ho
tel —“There’s a rat in my room!”
And the clerk replied— ”o. K.
lady. Make him come down and reg
ister.”
Our idea of a difficult task is—
Squeezing shaving cream back
into the tube.
DOG JOKE( ?) NUMBER 3
“There's no use trying to sell me
that cheap dog for a watch dog.”
“Why not?”
“Because a bargain dog never
bites.”
(Whew!)
“Fray let me kiss your hand,” said
he
With looks of burning love;
i “I can remove my veil,” said she,
“Much easier than my glove.”
Sapcerely,
The Swashbuckler.
