<shi' Zebulon ißrrnrb volume xrv. THIS, THAT, & THE OTHER MRS. THEO. B. DAVIS What a relief, both aesthetic and physical, it will be when the effi ciency experts extend their “No stoop, no squat, no squint” pro gram to include gardening! Aes thetic for the onlookers; physical for the workers. I have just gone through pages and illustrations of a book on flow er arrangement by Katherine Cary. It is a beautiful volume and has many fine suggestions and the pic tures are specially lovely. It is sur prising how many petunias, zin nias, and other common flowers are used in the arrangements, and how the writer stresses the beauty of magenta, purplish-red and other shades usually considered second choice. The importance of choosing the proper container is emphasized and to a great extent I agree with what Mrs. Cary says. But she believes the container means so much that if one can not secure exactly the right one it is better not to at tempt to take flowers into the house but leave them outside rather than insult them. And there’s where we part company. Os course we use the right vase, bowl or basket when we know it and have it. Otherwise, I say use what you have, from a washed ink bottle or an emptied tin can to your best cut glass pitcher or the old sugarbowl your grandmother gave you. Just be sure to put in water apough to let the flowers drink all they can hold, don’t crowd them too THE FOUR COUNTY NEWSPAPER—WAKE. .JOHNSTON, NASH AND FRANKLIN Legion Elects Officers For 1938 The Zebulon post of the Ameri can Legion at its last regular meet ing on June 9, after a sumptuous brunswick stew supper elected the following officers for next year: Commander, J.

He was christened Alfred Allan Pippin. He grew up as most other country boys. He entered Wake Forest College and after three years began the Stanhope High School. After eight years of teaching and preaching, he moved to Wakefield and for six more years taught in the high school founded by Rev. O. L. Stringfield. Then he gave up school work and gave all his time to preaching. He has held pastorates in the eight counties adjoining Wake county. He has served twenty different ' churches in 43 years ministry. For 33 years he was pastor of Hephzi bah church and was pastor of oth er churches for a longer period though not continuously. All the churches he served are within 25 miles of his home. For forty years he averaged baptizing 100 people each year. In this time he has mar ried thousands of people and buri ed other thousands. Even today young people come for miles to his home for marriage and he is called every few days to assist in a fun eral of some former member. He is still actively engaged in the min istry. Much credit for his success through the years is due to his wife, Lillian Wells Pippin, who “stayed by the stuff” when he went afield to fight the battles of the Lord. (Continued on page five) New Warehouse At Wendell Plans for the erection of a new tobacco sales warehouse in Wen dell were announced here today by Philip R. Whitley, President of the Tobacco Board of Trade. The new building will be located on East Third Street and is to be 150 by 212 feet in diameter. Con struction will be of corrugated iron with the latest improved skylights. Work is to begin immediately. The new building has been leas ed to Mr. J. C. Vann of Greeneville, Tennessee and Mr. C. W. Coving ton, of Reidsville and Aberdeen, N. C. Mr. Vann operates two warehouses in Vidalia, Ga., two in the burley belt, and is known as a successful warehouseman with years of experience. Mr. Coving- Hocutt Home Entered Sunday Early last Sunday morning the home of C. M. Hocutt, local grocer, was entered by a prowler who, fortunately was frightened away before doing any damage. Mrs. Hocutt awoke to see a man on the floor creeping toward a chair on which lay her husband’s trousers. She aroused Mr. Hocutt and by that time the intruder had fled. An attempt to turn on the lights disclosed the fact that the switch had been turned off in the pantry, which led to the conclusion that whoever had entered was familiar with the arrangement of the house. Noe At Morehead In a dancing pavilion arranged for the service at Atlantic Beach, Morehead City, Rev. Israel Noe of Beaufort preached last Sunday to a crowd estimated at 10,000. Achieving national mention by reason of his long fast early this year, Dr. Noe lost his place at St. Mary’s Cathedral, Memphis, as a result of his action. His sermon Sunday did not refer specifically to his fasting, but he declared that “no man can gamble all for God without lifting the world to a higher plane of living.” Kidnaper Confesses The discovery of the dead body of “Skeegie” Cash, five-year-old boy kidnaped from his home in Florida, the arrest of F. P. McCall, a former employee of the child’s father, and the recovery of most of the SIO,OOO ransom paid for the child’s return will result in a speedy disposition of the case. Mc- Call, who is 21, declares he did not mean to kill the boy, but that cloths tied over mouth, nose, and eyes, smothered the child during the flight from the Cash home, which was entered by cutting a screen at the rear of the house. This plea, however, will not pre vent the death sentence being im posed, since kidnaping carries the highest penalty possible. McCall is said to be calm and to have expressed the opinion that there has been enough publicity and the sooner the matter is for gotten the better. Miss Grace Coltrane was called to New York by telegram last week. Her plans for the summer have been changed and instead of singing at Jones Beach, N. Y., she will sing in Louisville, Ky. ton has a record of successful op eration on North Carolina markets. With the announcement of the new warehouse the board of trade officials also announced that Mr. Vann, together with Halifax Coun ty, Virginia, interests, had con tracted for the purchase of the Star Warehouse here. It is under stood that Jodie A. Wells, veteran Wendell warehouseman and Mr. D. E. Stanley, of Baxley, Georgia, will be connected with Mr. Vann in the operation of this house. The other houses here will be operated by the same personnel as last year. Whitley will be at the Planters with C. J. Fleming and Rupert Perry and the Farmers will be manned by C. S. Hobgood A Son and Henry Dean. CHURCH NEWS Rev. George Griffin supplied the pulpit of the Baptist church on last Sunday morning. There was no service in town at night, Rev. J. W. Bradley of the Methodist church being out of town. Mr. Griffin arrived in Zebulon on Friday of last week and left on Sunday. He was with the church some weeks ago for a Sunday ser vice.

Kenly To Become Up-To-Date Zebulon’s not distant neighbor town, Kenly, is going to put on modern city ways if an election ordered carries on July 5. The town board has passed an ordinance for an election to issue $70,000 in bonds. If carried, the town will spend $35,000 on a modern sewer age system, $29,000 on a water sys tem and $6,000 for the construction of a city hall.
