Sad is the need in many instances, and all too true the fact that the majority of us are unable to do much abou4 it. Still, there are few who are too poor to get hold of a piece of board for a new shelf, long sorely needed by the housekeeper; for paint to transform a wooden box into a sightly chest; for driving a few nails where they will do most towards helping make firm a set of shaky steps; for replacing those broken window-panes that have left openings long stuffed with various ar ticles to keep out the cold wind. Even if we are unable to do more than to put up a few hooks on which to hang garments, let’s do that much. Anything that makes a home better in any way is worth doing. o CLEANUP o We are more than willing to admit that cleaning up premises, and keeping them clean, is a full-sized job. In fact, we should like to in- Wakelon Needs Twelfth Grade (Continued from Front Page) are ready to make this step. The fifteen cents on the hundred dollars valuation in the Wakelon School District would bring in a revenue of about four thousand dollars. This four thousand dollars would add three teachers; the teachers on state schedule of sal aries will be paid about one hun dred and ten dollars a month, which would amount to $2640, . which Would be required to add a twelfth grade, leaving $1360 to re lieve the teacher load in the rest of the school by adding another teacher or providing equipment in the commercial department, which is .to be- a complete and certified department. The exact subjects to be added cannot be definitely worked out until the high school courses are rearranged to meet the state schedule. However, a complete commercial course will be assured with certified teachers. No one man’s taxes will be in creased much because the total of $4,000 is all that will be raised in the entire district and the general improvement in the condition of the school for the sake of the better preparedness of the pupil will be worth many times this amount. There will be no increase in the principal’s or teachers’ sal aries. The following who compose ( the schqpl board believe that it is the opportune thing to do: , J. K. Barrow, C. S. Chamblee, F. D. Finch, Joe T. Knottt, L. M, Massey. FLOWER SHOW (Continued from Front Page) Flowers, Mrs. Fred Page, Mrs. Victoria Gill. Feature Tables: Mrs. J. F. Coltrane, Mrs. E. C. Daniel, Mrs. F. D. Finch.

But there is nothing that adds more to sightliness and attractiveness of a home than cleanliness all over the place. We know that it is possible to keep inside the house in good or der while leaving yards unswept and trash piles undisturbed; but we don’t get as much credit for it as we would if the yard were clean, too. As ah old lady said, “So many more folks pass by than stop to come in.” “Clean-up Week” begins next Monday and it is hoped that a special effort may be made in this entire section to co-operate with organized agencies in this work. The main factor is work, and most of us can furnish that ourselves, if un able to hire it done. Os course we are usually busy at something; but let us put as much time on our home premises as is possible. The results may astonish us, as well as our neigh bors. o BURN UP o These paragraphs are written with sympathy for all those who like to keep old articles in the hope that they may some day be useful again. We confess to being among the number. But it seldom pays dividends. The things we hoard in basement, garage, wash-house or woodshed are so seldom the things we need when we are at work on something else; fre quently we find we can not use them at all. Then, instead of burning them, we let them lie where they are—broken chairs, jars with cracks in their sides, buckets that leak, shoes unfit for wearing, magazines we hope some day to look over and clip, bent nails and hinges—junk. Let’s make up our minds to burn or bury all that we can’t give away. 8. Arrangement in white. 9. Arrangement with pink pre dominating. 10.

When Earl Williams of Monroe, route 1, came back the Navy two years ago, jobs were hard to get so he raised 6500 broilers last year and 5600 this season. He made a neat profit of about 15 cents a chick. Now he doesn’t want a city job. MUSIC RECITAL ————— Mrs. G. S. Barbee will present her music class in recital ®n I ues day evening of next week, April 26, at eight o’clock in the audi torium at Wakelon. This is the first of commencement events and always an enjoyable feature in the series. There is no admission charge and the public is invited. Seen and Heard— News and Views FARMERS TAKING IT EASY One sees more cars in Zebulon these days than usual at this season of the year. One farmer told us that they were up with their farming more than at any time in a number of years. An other said his land plowed tn easiest he ever knew it. Wifl several gentle rains and no ones the land has remained in condition for plowing and ing. Plant beds are almost to set tobacco and one farmer fIH he expected to begin setting ?flB week. * llilill TALK AND TAXES ■ I was told yesterday conversation overheard in a the other day between two one a farmer and the other a ml about town. The farmer, who al peared to be a tenant, was cor| plaining about the heavy taxes one has to pay. The second man, who has no set or settled business, heartily agreed with the other and then added some blistering re marks of his own about taxes and the government in general. I ad mit that taxes are high, but talk is cheap, so why worry? GOD’S FUNNY DOINGS While visiting in a home not long ago, my hostess and I were discussing the people in a certain town. Her seven year old daugh ter was an interested listener, till a man names Holmes was men tioned. Immediately she laughed heartily, and said, “I think it is the funniest how God named some people.” And so do I if He did it. THE BUSIEST GARDENER . Have you noticed Kannan out back of his case digging? It seems that every time business gets dull he rushes out with a hoe and begins digging. And he has something to show for his labor, too. HE HELPED At the Baptist Church last Sun day morning at the preaching ser vice small Bobby Gill stbod on the seat by his grandmother, Mrs. Vic toria Gill. She sang and Bobby whistled earnestly. Seeing an ac quaintance looking at him, he smil ed briefly between stanzas, then solemnly puckered his mouth and began whistling again. He didn’t know the words, but he knew the tune and he helped in the service. FROM MRS. HELEN WHITLEY In a message received Tuesday by the associate editor Mrs. Helen Whitley of Siler City says: “I read with honest pride of the suc cess of Wakelon Winners in Music Congratulations for my old home town.” No one who knows Mrs. Whitley doubts either her pride or her hon esty , and all appreciate her tak ing the trouble to tell us about it. There’s going to be money in Zebulon, if all who are sending in slogans on driving safely get paid by the Pure Oil Company. At any rate more thinking than usual is being done about safe driving. TRAVELLING ON OWN POWER The other day some one asked, “This is not court week is it?” Receiving a negative- reply, anoth er question followed. .“Well, what are all those cars doing at the city hall? And when told that they were the cars the folks came in to get their ‘money for not working” as a colored boy put it this ex clamation came: ‘‘Folks riding to get relief!” Os course, why not? Didn’t they walk down the depres sion? Then why shouldn’t they ride back the “recession”? Gill Sells Ice Plant The cotton gin and ice plant built by S. Z. Gill and operated by him for many years, and of late years by his brother, E. B. Gill, has been purchased by P. C.

The business for the present will operate under the same name as formerly. THRONGS ATTEND EASTER SERVICE A crowd estimated at 50,000 at tended the Easter Moravian Sun rise Service at Winston-Salem last Sunday. The service was led by Bishop J. Kenneth Pfohl. An in novation was the pronouncing of the benediction by Bishop Kern of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South; this being the first time a minister of another denomina tion has taken part on the Easter program. ♦ The grass is tall, the sun is bright— To mow that lawn would take til) night.
