Tks, That, and
The Other
IHtS. THEO. B DAVW
About twenty-three years ago
iss Frieda Neuse came to Zebu-
Kon as the first Home Economics
■eacher at Wakelon. She was from
Buffalo, New York. That winter
her mother came down for a visit
and was much interested in this
section. And nothing impressed her
more than the fact that persim
mons were allowed to hang on the 1
trees all winter. She felt we were
thriftless and wasteful.
I’d like for her to know that at
least a part of the persimmons
were used even at that date. I mean
besides the ones eaten by dogs,
’possums and such. (My father had
a litle roan horse that ate every
’simmon he could reach.)
Below I give directions for per
simmon pudding. Thank Mrs. J. B.
Whitley of Siler City for it. She
says:
“This recipe came out of The
Progressive Farmer many years
ago. I secured it from a middle
aged friend in Siler City, to whom
it was ‘handed down’ from her
mother. She makes the puddings
for sale and they are truly deli
cious. They keep perfectly for
weeks.”
PERSIMMON PUDDING
1-2 gal persimmons rounded up,
1-2 gal sweet milk, 1 cup brown
sugar, 1 cup molasses, 1 cup white
sugar, 1 tbs. soda, 1 tsp. salt, 2
cups raw sweet potatoes grated, 1
tbs. Cinnamon (powdered) 1-2 tsp.
each of powdered cloves, ginger,
allspice and nutmeg, flour enough
to make a stiff matter but not quite
stiff enough for cake. Bake in
slow oven about 1 hour.
Persimmons mashed with milk
and put through a colander coarse
enough to let all pulp through.
CREAMY ICING
1 cup sugar, 1-2 cup top sweet
milk, 1 teaspoon flour, boil 5 min.,
bent and poqr over puddine after
it is cold.
From the same friend I received
the recipe for Date Roll, which
follows.
1 pkg. dates, 2 cups white sugai,
3-4 cup sweet milk, 1 tbs. butter,
1 cup chopped nuts (pecans, Eng
lish or black walnuts). Cook sugar
and milk together until it forms a
fairly hard ball in cold water. Then
put in dates which have been seed
ed. Cook until all dates are dissolv
ed; add butter and take off stove.
Beat in nuts—When it begin to
cool pour out on wet towel and roll
into convenient strips or loaf. When
about cold and firm cut into sizes
desired and roll in pulverized su-
Put away in a cake box in a cool
place—this will keep almost indef
initely.

BEGINNING NEXT WEEK
Roosevelt Speaks
To Congress
On Monday President Roosevelt’s
address to Congress was broad
cast, thus being heard by thousands
outside legislative halls. He em
phasized crop control, minimum
wages, maximum hours of labor,
governmental reorganization and
tax changes. Reaction to the mes
sage was doubtless influenced by
the beliefs of listners, some of
whom declared it to be a fearless
message, while others heard little
to encourage them. Mr. Roosevelt
urged the co-operation of business
with the government. He declared
that while this country earnestly
desires peace, we must be ade
qquately prepared for self-de
fense. He promised a decrease in
the deficit, but admitted that there
could be no actual balance yet be
tween income and outgo.

Fertilizer Is
Being Hauled
Although the year has just be
gun, preparations for crops are
under way. Plant beds are being
made ready, and some have been
sowed. Loads of sacked fertilizer
are being hauled out of town by
farmers who are beginning work
for 1938.
Whatever may be the outcome of
legislation on government control;
whether or not there should be de
vised an “ever normal’’ granary;
whatever may be done about em
ployment and unemployment; the
real dirt farmer knows that the
toil must go on, and is patiently,
uncomplainingly, and somewhat
hopefully going about his tasks.

DEATHS
JOHN G. UTLEY
Funeral services for John G.
Utley, who died Sunday night at
11 o’clock at the age of 81, weTe
held in the Rolesville Baptist
Church Monday at 3 p. m. The
service was conducted by the Rev,
H. 0. Baker, pastor, who was as
sisted by the Rev. A. A. Pippin.
Mr. Utley, for many years a res
ident of Holly Springs, died at the
home of his daughter, Mrs. C. E.
Stone of Zebulon.
Surviving, in addition to Mrs.
Stone, is another daughter. Miss
Kate Utley of Zebulon, and a sis
ter, Mrs. J. R. Rambeau.
BEN MAY, JR.
The death of Ben May, Jr., 17, in
Zebulon Friday night of last week
was caused by a self-inflicted
wound. The young man, who lived
on Wendell, R 2, came to Zebulon
with a friend, Sam Anderson, of
Engle Rock, and the two took Miss
es Josephine May and Thelma Bran
nan to ride. Returning at about
10:30, the girls were in their
homes, when May, in front of Miss
May’s home shot himself with a
pistol, the bullet entering the
heart. As no doctor could be at
once located here, Anderson drove
to Wendell, but May was dead be
fore help could be reached.
It is said that the boy had at
tempted suicide before the fatal
date, and it had been feared that
an accident suffered previously had
injured his head. No definite reas
on could be assigned for the cpt
that cost his life.
Burial was at Hephzibah church
on Sunday afternoon with the pas
tor, Rev. W. H. Poole in charge.
Pallbearers were high school class
mates of the deceased.
Surviving besides the parents,
Me. and Mrs. Ben May, are two
sisters, Mrs. W. H. Collie and Miss
Madeline May; three brothers,
Hollis and Elmo May of Wendell,
and Bfarlie May of Zebulon. ,
GEORGE W. MITCHELL
George W. Mitchell of Raleigh
died on Friday of last week at the
age of 70. He is survived by his
wife and a daughter; three sisters
and a brother. Burial was in Ral
eigh on Sunday. Mr. Mitchell was
for several years a resident of Zeb
ulon. Coming here in the spring of
1924 as editor and owner of The
Zebulon Record he very quickly
developed the paper into a wide
awake weekly. The paper, was a
successor to the Zebulon News
which had been published by J. B.
W’hitley, who moved his plant to
Siler City leaving the town with
out a paper. With the coming of
Mr. Mitchell The Record developed
perhaps the largest circulation it
has ever had. His health gave way
before he left Zebulon, though he
was for years able to do part-time
work.
