©hr Zrbulmt tßrrnrb THE FOUR COUNTY NEWSFAFEK—WAKE, JOHNSTON, NASH AND FRANKLIN VOLUME XIV. This, lhat, and lHe Other MRS. THEO. B. DAVHS Have you ever seen the daffodils lovelier than they are now ? Years ago when they made me memorize Wordsworth’s “I Wan dered Lonely as a Cloud,” I didn’t quite get that part that goes, “And then my heart with pleasure thrills, and dances with the daffo dils.” But since I have made spe cial efforts to grow daffodils, 1 get more of the meaning. Though never yet have I seen ten thous and at a glance, tossing- their heads in sprightly dance, I can do lots of thrilling over a few hun dred. They are such gay, appreciative flowers, and so brave and adapt able. They may be nodding and swaying, facing in one direction; but let a hard, cold wind spring up, and they at once turn around to face the way the wind blows, holding their petals close to the trumpet, and leaning far over, ready to spring straight again when the force of the wind lessens. Snow does not bother them much, but sleet gets them down, being their worst weather enemy. T often think of Mrs. A. J. Hunt when I look at daffodils. She said that a neighbor asked her to share her bulbs when she had more than she wanted. Mrs. Hunt said, ‘‘l told her I would; and I will when I have more than I want. But I want a million.” One of the pleasures of having daffodils is the knowledge that persons passing enjoy seeing them in bloom. No matter whether they grow in orderly beds and borders or naturalized—which means just anywhere and any way—they give pleasure. My husband objects strenuously to the way ours are scattered. It began when we were trying to make a lawn to the new home and dirt was dragged down from the yard of the old house. Everywhere I saw a bulb come up I’d protect it, and they have grown from tiny, grass-like shoots to clumDs of big bulbs just where the scraper dumped them. Then I put some under trees, which I think beautiful and he thinks entirely out of place. We argue about it, and the flowers keep on growing. Some day I hope to have the space between our sidewalk and the highway filled with bulbs. If I live long enough to get it done, there’s many will think kindly of me every spring. In reading some reports Monday I found that the cost of clothing worn by families during a year varies from $33.00 to what seems to me an immense sum. And I don’t worry at all about those who spend thousands for clothes. The trouble is with those who spend so little. Since a family is usual ly estimated to consist of about four persons, I can not understand how they are clad and shod on such a sum. Os course they might use up for garments all the feed sacks and flour sacks in sight'; and, as my mother comfortingly reminded me, “most probably the neighbors helped them out.” (Continued on Back Page) ZEBULON.

EDEN RESIGNS POST London, England—The first rep ercussion of Hitler’s address to the Reichstag was the resignation of Anthony Eden as British Foreign Secretary.

Os course, if taken to a distance, this would be of lit tle avail; but it could be of help locally. CELEBRATES SCIENTISTS’ RESCUE Moscow, U. S. S.
