♦ ©hr Zrlntlun IRrrorii VOLUME xrv. This, That, and The Other MRS. THEO. B. DAVIS Two of the most interesting ar ticles I have read for months were published in the last two issues of The Saturday Evening Post and •were written by David Burpee, a son of the famous seedsman, Wil liam Burpee. (I wonder how many remember the year that so many rhymes were written about Bur pee’s seeds. One that I recall said ‘‘Burpee’s seed they always grow; Honest Injun, so they do.” Which may have been good thought but was certainly poor poetry.) The articles memntioned relate the trials of those who seek new varieties of flowers, or to improve old varieties, and also tells much as to preference of flower lovers. At this time it seems that zinnias and petunias share the highest popularity. Few flowers have been more improved than these, and there was a period when compara tively few cared for them. Marigolds were originally from Mexico. When carried to Europe the poor used them because of their color as an offering to the Virgin Mary and thus they came to be called Mary’s Gold. Impressive is the fact that the elder Burpee once paid $139 each for some sweetpea seed he wanted. Don’t fail to read those articles, if you have a chance. They’ll do you more good than a love story, and are not one bit tiresome. THE FOUR COUNTY NEWSFAFER—WAKE. JOHNSTON. NASH AND FRANKLIN ZEBULON.

Important To Our Subscribers We have been trying for some time to revue our mailing list and bring it up-to-date. We have discontinued a number of subscriptions, which we hated to do. After April first all other subscriptions not paid in advance or satisfactorily arranged for will be discontinued. Look at your label on this paper. If the date thereon is any time back of Mar., 1938. then you are in arrears and if you do not pay up before April 1, your paper will stop. If the expiration date is not correct on your paper please write i* at once and we will make correction. Remember, from this time, our subscribers must pay before they receive the Record. We have lost hundreds of dollars on those who got the paper first and were supposed to pay later. Now, if you want the paper, it will cost you only SI.OO, less than 2 cents a week. If you want it, and do not have the money with which to pay, we shall be glad to arrange an exten sion so you may pay later—sometime during the fall. But satisfactory arrange ments must be made by all who are in arrears or the Zebulon Record will stop on April first, THE ZEBULON RECORD. igand Rebuilding orton has made repairs ms to his home —the ton place’’ at the edge ind has made it one of ractiveness.

The local Rotary is sponsoring it. Six Rotarian members have been chosen to form a scout committee. These men are Messrs. Paul Cash well, Chairman, R. V. Brown, Jud Robertson, H. E. Mann, Irby Gill, and John K. Barrow, Jr. Mr. C. V. Whitley has been appointed to rep resent our Rotary at the monthly Scouter’s Club in Raleigh. Mr. Whitley, R. I. Johnston, Scout master and Robert D. Massey, as sistant scoutmaster, attended the Scouter’s Club this past Tuesday at N. C. State. The first mass meeting of scouts was held March 3rd, at which 65 tentative members were present. Eight patrols have been organized under the leadership of the follow ing scouts: Jack Gregory, Billy Green, Tom Ivey, Charles Hinton, Matthew Liles, Allan Marshburn, Dwite Debnam, and Mr. Maclntire. Jack Gregory is troup scribe. The patrol leaders received their badge for tenderfoot rank at an investi ture service Friday night following the Rotary dinner. Boy Scouting in Zebulon promises to be an invalu able asset to the community and we trust much cooperation will be shown. Singer Once Lived In Zebulon Miss Lucille Browning, Metro politan operatic singer whose pic tures appeared in Sunday’s News and Observer together with a sketch of her life, was at one time a resident of Zebulon. Her father was a partner with A. C. Dawson in a grocery business here, and Lu cile Brown, as she was then called, attended elementary school at Wakelon. Miss Browning, whose name was changed while she was training for her career, is a niece of Mrs. Dawson, and is not the on- T member of her family connec ’ to be endowed with the gift of at has become of the old >ned swain who told his girl she was the one and only in fe and meant it? Orphanage Singing Class Here Fri. Nite The Singing Class of the Mason ic Orphanage at Oxford will pre sent their 1938 program in the au ditorium at Wakelon on Friday night of this week, March 25. A good attendance is desired to en joy a fine entertainment and to help w T ith the expenses of the Home, as the funds derived from concerts are used for that pur pose. P. -T. A. Study Class April 5 The regular meeting of the stu dy class of the Parent-Teacher As sociation will be held in the Zebu lon Methodist Church on the after noon of the first Tuesday in April, beginning at 3:30. The subject is The Family Habits of Work, and the discussion will be led by Mrs. Chas. E. Flowers. All who are in terested are invited. New Firm Doing Good Business The recently organized firm of Whitley & Scarboro has prospered from the start, and with the com ing of spring and the need of the farmers for more farm supplies and fertilizers, there is added busi ness for this establishment. They carry practically everything need ed for the home, garden and farm —work clothes, groceries, hard ware, china and glassware, farm ing implements, kitchen utensils, seed to plant and fertilizers to en courage growth. • The employees show the same courtesy and interest as do the owners in meeting the public and serving their needs for anything carried in the store. An advertisement in this issue of the Record tells something of the high grade brands of fertilizer carried by Whitley & Scarboro. Republicans and Dry leaders in this state desire a referendum on the liquor question, declaring that voters of the entire state should express themselves as to the issue. C*Se Burgess has been elected as head of dry forces, succeeding Dr. W. L. Poteat. Pre-School Clinics Schedule Given Dr. A. C. Bulla of the Wake County Health Department has sent for publication his schedule for pre-school clinics. Below are given dates for both white and col ored schools in this section.

WHERE THE MONEY GOES A recent survey indicates that American families spend about one-third of their income for food; one-tenth for clothing; one-twen tieth for amusem«3t and recrea tion; and that the average family puts aside little or nothing for a rainy day. This average family also spends about half of the money for amusements on the movies. Prove all things; hold fast that •which is good.—Bible. NUMBER 38
