®h£ Zrbulmt Stenxrlt VOLUME XIV. This , That, and The Other MRS. THEO. B. DAVKS A friend called me last week after reading my column and told me she has found that chinaber ries—or chaney-balls, if you know them better by that name—will help to keep moths out of gar ments or closets. She advises that the berries be gathered now and stored for use; or you may put them on the shelves and floors of closets. When you store winter wraps next spring, put a handful of the berries in a pocket. They will not stain clothing, and are certainly plentiful as well as “cost less”. I am glad to learn that those faint-y smelling blooms are actual ly good for something. Hereafter I shall be less resentful when I get sick of their odor. As usual, Mrs. Merritt Massey has wonderful chrysanthemums; but she has nourished and cherish ed them all summer, while mine almost had to pay board, and then most of them got frost-bit. Mrs. Massey covered hers to prevent damage. And Mrs. Clarence Kemp has one of the loveliest chrysan themums I have seen. It is not very double, is a lovely shade of pink, blooms in clusters, and the frost has not hurt it yet. I don’t know its name, so that will be an excuse to get a slip from Mrs. Kemp next spring. I can tell her I would buy one from a catalog, but don’t know what to order. That will sound better than plain out begging, and if she doesn’t believe me, she’ll not tell me so. Some weeks ago my husband came in from a short trip and handed me—rof all things—a doll. It was not a new doll, but was not broken and it wore two ill-fitting, somewhat soiled garments. He had found it on the highway soon after meeting a car with a trailer at tached and thought he saw a child’s head at the window of the trailer. However, the car was ’way out of sight and he had no idea who they were. I set the doll on a shelf and the next time my daughter came out from Raleigh she offered to take it back with her and dress it to give some child who might be without one at Christmas. I asked her to put boy clothes on it as I want to name it Moses, although it was found not among the bulrushes, but the cars rushes. Os course it is nicer to give wel- THE FOUR COUNTY NEWSFAFER—WAKE, JOHNSTON, NASH AND FRANKLIN ZEBULON. NORTH CA ROLINA, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 12,1937. Filling Station Is Padlocked The filling station near Zebulon on highway 91 is also near Wake field, and has been known as May’s Old Station. For some time it has been run by a Miss Massey. No one objected to the filling station as such; but accompanying conditions were such that they were declared a public nuisance. The members of the colored churches in sight of the station petitioned for relief from a situation that was not at all con ducive to worship. The pastor and leading members of the Wakefield Baptist church, white, were also Tiuch concerned; and the Zebulon 3aptist church concurred in the •elief that such a place should be losed. On Tuesday of this week, with bief-of-police Cone accompanying hem, a group of citizens from iebulon and Wakefield went to taleigh to confer with authorities, with the result that the station was padlocked. Operators of the place were told that an appeal to a higher court would avail nothing. POTATO HOUSE BURNED The potato house owned by Pitt man Stell and located on his farm at Wakefield was burned last Fri day night. It was filled with po tatoes which were in process of curing. Mr. Willie Bullock, who lives on the farm, was curing the potatoes and does not know how the fire started. fare workers and others collecting toys new gifts whenever possible; but there’s much that crn be done to renew the appearance of old ones. And there are so many need ed every year it seems a pity not to save all we can. There’s no time to lose, if we want to collect and make ready all the discarded or unused toys about the place and pass them on to give pleasure where pleasure may not be a fre quent visitor. If you don’t know just how to go about this, Mrs. R. H. Herring and Mrs. Ida Hall can tell you the best way to proceed. They’ll never have done with the fighting, on land and over the sea. Government, Government, what does it care, what does it care for me? Bugles must blow and flags must wave and the muffled drums must beat —> And what to a lass is a lover when they lay him dead at her feet? They’ll never have done with the fighting, for .ward the columns sweep; 1 hear the sound of the firing of guns as I tend the hearth —and weep. Far off and faint; but 1 hear it; and a white, dead face I see Under the sod in a grave that God and the Gov ernment made for me. (The above lines were published at the time associate editor has written them from memory they carry especially appropriate for Armistice ten.) The Woman Laments CLUB NOTES GARDEN CLUB The Garden club met on Tues day p. m. in the home of Mrs. Fred Page with Mrs. A. S. Hinton associate hostess.

C. Campen and Mrs. C. G. Weathersby. Mrs. C. G. Weathersby, chair man of the Christmas program, gave a very interesting report, outlining plans for that occasion. Each member was assigned a spe cial Christmas feature for which to be responsible.

Zebulon does not have a chamber of commerce to advertise the town and endeavor to induce business establishments to locate here. How i ever, a number of local citizens | have discovered that right at home is the place to locate, j The town’s newest manufactory is the Dixie Fireworks Plant, own ,ed and operated by A. V. Medlin, who already is known away from I home as the fireworks king of the South. His establishment is located in the Perry building opposite the fire house. Various kinds of fire works are manufactured, a total of fifteen persons being employed. A few of these are experts from the North, who direct and perform the more complicated part of the work. The remainder are from this community. It is always encouraging when an industry helps out in the busi ness of a section; and so it even more than ordinary good wishes that the new plant has for its success. Mr. Medlin is the largest dis tributor of fireworks in the South. Keedoozle Chain stores are not new, but some of their names are. The of the Piggly-Wiggly Stores has announced that he plans to establish another kind. The first ten will be located in cities in the East. They will be electric self | service groceries and will have the name Keedoozle. Fewer Trailers Sold It may be that the public buying , has reached the saturation point; ! it may be that tastes are changing; but word has gone forth that few er trailers are being sold than for ! some years, and that manufactur [ ers are liable to find themselves sadly overstocked with this costly comm )dity.
