Father-Son Game Friday - League Game Saturday Wat %>tbvAsxn Hkttxrxb VOLUME XIV. THIS, THAT, & THE OTHER MBS. THEO. a DAVIS Some of the shirts sold now have the collars sewed with so many rows of stitching that when you go to turn one and put the unworn side up you find it so hard to rip you begin to wonder whether the result will be worth the trouble. Before you are through you are •wondering if the shirtmakers had it in mind to persuade you to buy new garments by making it so hard to mend the old. If there’s one thing that ex ceeds all others in tempting a gardener to work himself—or her self—to death, it’s one of these warm, showery days we’ve been having lately. Every sower of seed and planter of slips knows there's no time like just before a light rain for getting things in the ground. Out you rush and work until your shoulders are wet with rain as well as well as the sweat decreed in Genesis 3:19. You run into the house and catch up inside work that was left while you gar dened so frantically. When the shower is over you dash outdoors to finish the planting and begin transplanting peppers, tomatoes, petunias, cosmos, marigolds, zin nias, collards, pinks, beets, snap dragons, or what have you. Again the rain stops you and you hurry in to do a little more housework, which is sadly behind by now. Ev en should you get all the little plants in their beds, there is sure to be grass to be picked out, and weeds never pull so easily as when the ground is wet. By night you are almost too tired to live and don’t know whether to be proud of your indus try or ashamed of having gone far beyond your strength. Still, it’s a great life, if you do weaken at times. THE FOUR COUNTY NEWSPAPER— WAKE. JOHNSTON. NASH AND FRANKLIN Cooking School Has Large Crowd The Cooking School put on last Friday by the Zebulon Supply Store in co-operation with Caro lina Power and Light Co. drew the largest attendance of any held in Zebulon. Space had been made in the Furniture Department for more than a hundred chairs which proved too few for those who came. With complete electrical equipment, a temporary kitchen had also a cabinet and table where Miss Annie Miles Harris compe tently lectured and cooked, using the Frigidaire range for demon stration. Miss Harris baked a layer cake, made biscuit, cooked a one-dish meal of Italian spaghetti, broiled steak, used a thrift cooker in preparing stuffed pork chops with vegetables and a carrot pud ding. She specially emphasized the possibility of saving current by thoughtful planning of meals and work. Mr. Ruflin with moving pictures showed the advantages of the Frigidaire rp'.ige. The Zebu,on Supply Store gave nwav a number of valuable prizes and the different foods cooked were also given to those present. Each woman was given a coupon entitling her to an attractive cel lophane apron upon application later at the store. It was regretted that Mrs. En field, who was to have helped with the school, was kept away by her mother’s illness; but Miss Har ris pleased all who saw and heard her. The Supply Store really did the thing in a big way. SCOUT NEWS The Day Scouts on Tuesday night heard Mr. Humphries, the Scout executive from Raleigh, N. C.

Mail Did Fly Airmail Week On Monday, May 16, the asso ciate* editor of the Record mailed a letter to a son at the Post Schools, Schofield Barracks, Oahu, Territory of Hawaii. Stamps costing twenty cents were affixed the missive being sent by special air mail. It left Zebulon at 11:00 a. m. to be picked up in Raleigh by plane. On Thursday a reply was mailed, stating that the letter had been received and might have been at the postoffice since some time the day before. The return ing letter, however, took one week to reach the Zebulon post office, a distance of 4500 miles. FORMER ZEBULON BOY TO PREACH Charles Olin Greene, graduating this week at Wake Forest College, remembered his childhood home and pastor and sent to the editor an invitation to attend the com mencement exercises. Mr. Greene is the older son of Mr. and Mrs. S. W. Greene, who for years were residents of Zebulon, going from here to Cleveland County nearly fourteen years ago. And Olin is now the Rev. Olin Greene, having become a minister of the gospel and pastor of churches. PILOT CORRESPONDENT Cameron Stallings is the new! Record correspondent from Pilot. | Readers in his section are asked to help him by giving items for his section of the paper. He has made a good beginning and we hop» he may oentinue to represent the pa per for years. CATFISH CUTS OFF WATER Mount Holly had a bad time last *k when the town’s supply’ of ?r was cut off for some time. stigators finally found that a catfish had been drawn into main pipe line, and they had erable trouble removing it. screening placed to prevent ce of any objects had brok ugh to allow the fish to be through. NEWS OF THE WEEK Tax Bill Becomes Law Witholding his signature to the last moment, President Roosevelt permitted the Tax Revision Dill to become a law without his official approval. In a radio broadcast he explained that “in many respects the bill is a good one but aban dons the principle of progressive taxation. I am, however, delighted to remove any existing barriers against the small business that is trying to set itself squarely on its own feet, by paying its debts and seeking to make a reasonable pro fit.” Observers expect a market j upswing in industry with the tax question finally disposed of. Unprecedented Spending In the four fiscal years from 1933 to 1937, Federal agencies have spent in “non- ecoverable” projects $14,887,000,000. This does not include the veterans’ bonus of $1,750,000,00, which is “water-ov er-the-dam,” nor the various loans of the IIOLC, FCA, RFC and oth er sources from which an unde termined sum may be ultimately salvaged. For every man, woman and child in these four years, the Government has collected in taxes of all kinds $lO9, but has distribut ed in “non-recoverable relief” slls. Only fifteen states have matched in their own tax contribu tions the government’s dole, leav ing 33 states dependent upon the prosperity of less than a third of the total states in the Union. Kidnaped Children Found-One Dead Betty Hobbs, four years old, who was from New York, has been found in Ohio, and has been restored to her parents. Mrs. Anna Legaie has been charged with kidnaping the child and plac ing her in the home of a sister as a daughter of Mrs. Legare. Peter Levine, son of a New York attorney, was kidnaped on Feb. 24. It is said that no ran som was paid, though a large sum was demanded. Search for the boy was intensive but fruitless. The child’s body, head, hands and feet missing, was found Sunday night on the shore of Ixmg Island Sound where waves had washed it. Identification was made by cloth ing. Thin Men Win More merriment than money was the result of the ball game last Friday between thin men and fat ones. Vigorously cheered by the small crowd who thoroughly enjoyed the game, the score was 17-2 in favor of the lean players. However, Judd Robertson made a home run for the fats, and others did valiant service. No exact record was kept of errors, but they were unimportant. Nobody mind eel them. Nor were uniforms even mentioned. The game and not the accoutrements thereof held the center of the stage—and a part of the immense ball park that was having its gates and grandstand put in place as the game began. On Fr iday of this week local fathers will play their sons for the benefit of the playground fund. NUMBER 48 Tobacco State Baseball League Six towns in Eastern Carolina have formed a sure-enough big baseball league. Among them are Zebulon, Angier, Fayetteville, Sanford, Laurinburg and Erwin. Plans have been perfected that in dicate that we shall have some real ball players here this sum mer. A fenced-in park has been made at Wakelon and the diamond has been filled in the low places and dragged. A team has been recruited from college teams chief ly in the state, that promises to be a winner. I’. L. Cashwell’s name was omit ted last week from the Board of Directors. As at present outlined the team is as follows: The first base will be held down by Harold Bissett from Carolina. His home is at Bailey. Foy Grubb will occupy third base. He comes from Spencer. “Dick” Hoyle of Wakefield, Wake Forest man, will reign at second base or be at short stop. His brother “Bill”, State College, will roam in the ill field or outfield. “Fred” Hoyle, Wake Forest player, will do out field work. Emmett Johnson, Oak Ridge, and Red Oak, will play short-stop. T. D. Jones, one of the "Jones boys” hails from Me bane and will be outfield player. Leander Morrison, Catawba Col lege player, from Spencer, will al so play outfield. June Page comes from Georgia Tech, lives in Ra leigh, and will be the catcher. The pitchers are: Allen Green, State and Wakefield; Jack Covington, (Continued on Page Three) Recorder’s Court The Zebulon Recorder’s Court his week almost finished its sitting before dinner time, getting through with the less than half dozen cases before one o’clock. John Thomas Barfield asked an other man’s wife the wrong ques | tion. She reported it to her hus- I band and he to the judge. Sentence j was suspended on condition that he pay to the court the costs of the action. James Revell decided that he would revel somewhat. For acting like a man out of his mind and place he paid $5.00 fine and the costs of the court for drunkenness and disorderliness. James Brantley seems to have turned loose the ax handle he was making and got hold of the wrong sort of handle. Result: Five dollars fine and costs for drunken and dis- • orderly conduct. Roscoe Pearce tried driving a car with one hand and apparently without his whole mind, since he was charged with drunken driving. He prayed the court to suspend judgment till the July term of court. His prayer was granted. Matthew Denton in going up and down the earth chanced to find Creamy Carter’s pocket book. It contained $9.36 in good money. The bills were ear-marked. Matthew traded one of them to a merchant who knew of the loss. Matthew re fused to surrender voluntarily his temporary gold mine, so the mat ter went to court. The judge told him he would have to work three months on the highways for the unlawful retention and refusal to surrender another’s property.- He appealed to the Superior Court.
