VOLUME XIV.
This, That, and
The Other
MRS. THEO. B. DAVIS
I was never able to letter a pos
ter or placard so that it wasn’t a
sight until some one showed me
how to cut out block letters. The
sort that are made by first making
squares of paper. After the let
ters are cut they are pasted on
the cardboard. Now I can make
a poster that you can actually
read.
Here are some other things I
have learned from good authori
ties.
Letting your closet doors stand
open as much as possible during
the summer is a fine way to pro
tect clothes from moths. You see,
moths hate light and sun, prefer
ring darkness because their deeds
are evil, and letting light into
places where they might hide is
a great discouragement.
Not always does light keep them
away, though. Years ago at More
head City we didn’t have overnight
company for some time and when
I went one day to remake the spare
bed I found moths had simply per
forated the pillow ticks.
The pillows were so completely
ruined that I wouldn’t try to save
them, but buried them deep in the
garden. A neighbor, seeing and
not understanding, asked if I were
not afraid I’d spoil my pillows.
I told her that if only I could
spoil also the thousands of moths
they were feeding, I’d hope for
no more.
Back to things I’ve learned:
If you are worrying over wash
ing your dog during the cold weah
er, don’t do either—washing or
worrying. For it is best for your
dog not to be washed often. The
soapsuds remove too much of the
natural oil of the coat of hair and
cause it to get dirty sooner than it
otherwise might. Use a good
brush, not too stiff as to bristles,
and use it well and often. You'll
be surprised to see how nice and
clean your dog will be. Besides
washing too often may cause your
pet to have a form of eczema,
since dogs have very delicate skin.
(That’s first class veterinarian
advice, “absolutely free to readers
of this paper.’’)
Here’s another: If you like your
snaps bean-y, and have some can
ned that are too young for beans,
try soaking about a cupful of
those brown beans you can find at
the market and then boiling them
until tender and adding to a quart
of snaps when you are fixing them
for dinner. It’s the next best thing
to cornfield snaps in late summer
time.
If you’ve been one of those cooks
who painstakingly pick up oysters,
dip them into beaten egg, then in
to cracker-crumbs, then back into
the egg and again into the crumbs
before frying, save yourself time
and work by trying this:
Mix equal parts of commeal and
flour, adding salt and peppr
about a teaspoonful of salt to a
pint of oysters. Wash the oysters
and drain them as nearly dry as
possible, then roll them in the
flour-meal mixture and fry quick-

CLUB COLUMN
EXHIBIT AND PRIZES
Readers are reminded that at
the meeting of the Garden Club
with Mrs. Fred Page and Mrs. A.
S. Hinton in the Page home on
next Tuesday p. m., a collection of
flower arrangements will be ex
hibited with prizes for the two
best. Mrs. Chas. Flowers, flub
president, offers one dozen Em
peror daffodil bulbs and one doz
en plants of phlox subulata. Both
are most desirable for the garden
and both are hardy.
The exhibit is open to all who
are interested, whether club mem
bers or not, and a good display is
greatly desired.
At this meeting Mrs. C. C. Car
penter, of Wake Forest, district
chairman of garden clubs, will be
guest speaker. Members are to
be congratulated upon her com
ing to address the local organiza
tion.
Parent’s Day
Program Nov. 20
Maj. Lewis Simons, Public Re
lations Officer at the Citadel,
Charleston, S. C., writes that he is
much pleased with the letters that
have come in from parents rela
tive to the Parents’ Day planned
for Nov. 20 at that institution.
The twelve academic departments
as well as the department of mili
tary tactics will be open for in
spection and visitors will be guests
at a luncheon in the cadet mess
hall.
Dr. Poteat 111
Dr. W. L. Poteat, president
emeritus of Wake Forest College,
is said to be recovering slowly
from a stroke of paralysis suffer
ed last week. However, it is cer
tain that he will not be able to
preside over the sessions of the
Baptist State Convention of which
he is moderator, and which meets
this month. Dr. Poteat is 81 years
old.
ly in fat that is fairly deep and
very hot. If small, you may pat
two or three oysters together, but
don’t get them in wads and don’t
crowd them when frying. They
may not show up as well as when
built up with egg and crumbs, but
they taste better. And when sis-
teen cents will buy oysters enough
to serve two persons nicely, there's
no special saving in breaking up
high-priced eggs to go with them.
Unless, of course, you enjoy eating
the casket you’ve buried the oyster
in.
Mrs. Phillip Massey gave me some
crabapples for jelly last week, and
told me she made some that jel
lied in the time it took her to
wash dishes. I made mine on
Saturday—a little over two quarts
—and it took me the same length
of time; it cooked while I was
washing the dishes. So in case you
go to make any crabapple jelly,
don’t bother to test it or to look
at the clock; just go to washing
dishes for three persons and
when you finish pour up your jel
ly. It is sour and sparkling,
tastes a bit like cranberries, and
is fine to serve with meats or to
cut the stickiness of peanut but
ter for sandwiches.

At the last national council
meeting it was decided to cut the
funeral benefit from $500.00 to
$250.00. This caused the state
council at the meeting in Septem
ber to set up a funeral benefit of
its own, which went into effect
Oct. 1, and has already enrolled
more than 23,000. There are a
great number of the older mem
bers enrolled in both funeral ben-
CHURCH NOTES
Mr. and Mrs. Theo. B. Davis
were guests at a church supper
and get-together meeting of the
Kenly Baptist Church, held in the
Woman’s Clubhouse at Kenly on
the night of Nov. 1. Members of
the faculty of the Kenly school
were also special guests. A deli
ciaus meal was served cafeteria
style. The attendance was fine.
Pastors A. A. Pippin, A. D. Par

HARVEST DAY AT CORINTH
On Wednesday, November 10,
Corinth Baptist church in John
ston County, near Corinth-Holder
school, will have a Harvest Day
with a special program and dinner
on the grounds. Everything ex
cept tobacco may be brought to be

duce may be bought. There will
be a preaching service at 11:00
o’clock in the morning. In the af

be present. The public is invited.
P.-T. A.
At the Parent-Teacher meeting
on Tuesday night of next week
Rev. John Barclay, of Wilson, will
be the guest speaker. Mr. Barclay
is most favorably known here,
having been one of the' Forum
speakers last term, and having
won favorable comment for his
presentation of topics under dis
cussion.
It is hoped that every member
of the P.-T. A. and all others in
terested will attend the meeting of
next week. The association has
gotten off to a good start, but the
momentum is not sufficient to
keep it going throughout the
school year. The help of each
patron and friend of Wakelon is
needed.
Cafeteria For
Zebulon
Mr. and Mrs. E. W. Williams
have come to Zebulon from Eliza
beth City and have opened a cafe
teria in the building next door to
Johnson’s Jewelry Store on Ar
rendall St. They have painted,
cleaned and renovated the interior
and have an attractive place for
patrons to eat. Zebulon has not
had a cafeteria and it is to be
hoped that the newcomers will
find their venture profitable,
since it will be a distinct addition
to the business section of town.
Mr. and Mrs. Williams are at
present rooming in the home of
Mrs. W. L. Wiggs, But expect to
move to rooms above their place
of business when these are made
ready for occupancy.

Unique for this section is the
home being built near the bank of
Little River, just off the highway,
by W. M. Page. It stands on a
steep slope and will have a garage
under one side, the basement hav
ing little or no excavation. When
completed it will be a place of
beauty.
