Mr. Mc poke on “Watch Ye There fhe hostess served delicious ments. At the meeting of the Parent- Teacher Association at Wakelon Tuesday night Mrs. Lester Green presided. The opening exercises and business session were brief and were followed by two solos, “When Mother Nature Sings Her Lullaby,” and ‘‘Cradle Song”, by Mrs. Lorenzo Bunn with Miss Dorothy Horton at the piano. At this time the meeting was turned over to A. S. Hinton, chief of Zebulon’s fire department. Mr. Hinton presented the fire depart, ment who attended in a body, and also presented a delegation from Wendell. The introduction of the speaker by Zebulon’s fire chief included a list of Mr. Brockwell’s titles and some of his accomplishments and caused him to say that he felt he had been “mortally introduced”, which remark was explained by a humorous anecdote, the first of many used in the address. Fire Prevention was the subject which was discussed with pungent and penetrating criticism of careless ness in home and school, inter spersed with witicisms that were no less impressive because amus ing. The housewife’s tendency to store in basement and attic articles not needed caused guilty smiles among some present. The advice to call the trash wagon instead of having to call the fire wagon should be heeded. Dangers of oil, gasoline and elec tric stoves were stressed, and care lessness was declared to be the main cause of fires. A plea was made for the use of all possible precautions to prevent loss of life and property by conflagrations, with emphasis on inspection of premises by those capable of giv ing information along this line. The membership committee re ported 124 paid members. Three Are In Hospitals If Mr. and Mrs. Robert Eddins of Wakefield spend much of their time on the road between Rocky Mount and Raleigh, let no one be surprised. The wonder is that they can keep up with what they have on hand. About a week ago their daugh ter, Miss Alpha May, underwent an operation in Parkview Hospital for appendicitis. Last Sunday morning, early, another daughter, Miss Sarah, had the same opera tion in Mary-Elizabeth Hospital. Late that evening Bobby, the only son in the family, was rushed to the same hospital. He too had an operation for appendicitis. All are making good progress toward re covery. Miss Creola Eddins, the only other daughter, is a nurse, which is probably some satisfaction to the parents at this time.

CLUB NEWS WOMAN’S CLUB MEETS NEXT TUESDAY The October meeting of the Woman's Club will be held on next Tuesday afternoon. The program for the day will be on Internation al Relations. The Rev. G. J. Grif fin will speak. Reports will be made by dele gates to the district meeting in Raleigh. A full attendance is de sired. GIRL SCOUTS TO SELL CARDS Mrs. J. E. Mdlntire has ar ranged for Girl Scouts of Zebulon to sell Christmas cards to raise funds for their organization. A generous commission is allowed with subscriptions to the scout magazine as bonus. It is hoped that the youthful saleswomen will meet with a cordial and sympa thetic reception, as they have few ways to make money, and scout work has already proved its worth for them. ROTARY CLUB BEGINS ATTENDANCE CONTEST The attendance contest of the Zebulon Rotary Club began last Friday night with a 100 per cent attendance. The contest will run for several months and the losers will present the club with a new gong and gavel. Rotary signs will be placed on the 3 roads leading into Zebulon in the near future. The club was entertained by a song sung by Mr. Jack Temple of Zebulon who was accompanied on the piano by Mrs. John Horton. Mr. Whitley gave an interesting talk on competition in business, with special reference to compe tition in Zebulon. SCOUTS ATTEND JUBILEE On Thursday morning of last week Boy Scouts of Zebulon left for Chapel Hill to become a part of the Jubilee held there. Mes dames M. T. Debnam and F. D. 1 Finch loaded their cars, inside and outside with boys and baggage and acted as transportation corps. Mak ing the trip were Wilbur Debnam, Dave Finch, Harmon Mclntire, Carl Thomas Knott, Jack White Liles, Donald Massey, R. H. Brant ley, Gordon Temple, and Billie Green. R. H. Brantley and R. V. Brown went to Chapel Hill Sunday to get the scouts, bringing them home by way of Durham and Wake Forest. REV. FORD BURNS HURT Much concern is felt in this sec tion over an accident in which the Rev. Ford Bums, pastor of Middle sex and Pilot Baptist churches, was critically injured last Friday near Fuquay Springs. Mr. Burns’ car was in collision with one driven by a Negro, and he suffered a skull fracture besides other severe in juries. He had not recovered con sciousness when last heard from here. YEFAPOOLE This week I discuss how it feels to sit on the bench during a foot ball game. Having had the experi ence I am an expert along this line. Some may think there is no aftermath to bench-sitting, but they don’t have to pick splinters out of themselves. During the Cath olic Orphanage game that some of the Wakelon boys (not me) played I took in so many splinters that it required all day Saturday and half Sunday to dispossess them. (We played on Friday.) But that’s just one of the many troubles that nag at you. As you sit there and maybe see your team thrown for a loss time and time again you dream of what you your self would do if you could get out there. You plead, beg, and yell at the coach to allow you to play. No luck. He has an idea of how good you are and no amount of mourn ful faces will change this opinion that you know is wrong. (He got it during the many days of practice when he saw you dodge the man who carried the ball rather than tackle him.) Maybe we can make the picture more one of despair (if possible). If the day is chilly the subs can only sit and shiver while their team-mates tear about on the field sweating. Those who are playing envy those who sit on the bench because they are cool while With the splintery bench-sitters it’s vice versa. Whenever we subs rise up from our seats they are filled at once with enthusiastic teachers, class mates ,etc. They shout and jump on our joy and pride (the benches) until we nearly die of heart-fail ure fearing they will break. Tho if it doesnt’s there’s usually no hope of recovering our seats until the game is nearly over. This was so during the Cary-Wakelon game. It’s the life of a dog that we lead. Sometimes our moment comes. A player is hurt, or fagged out ,or can’t play—then the coach looks us over. We swell up, look big, and try to make a good im pression. By the time he has de cided whom to send in the first string man has recovered. I reckon that should be enough of that for this wek. I’m getting fed up with the life of a sub just from writing it. But then, maybe it’s worth the work. We get in the games free. That's 10c saved. Then we have our transportation given us to the games. Sometimes its on the back of a pick-up truck in the rain—but it’s transporta tion anyway. Come to think of it, we lead an easy life. Haw Last week I prophesied that Wakelon would win 9 straight games. I shouldn’t have done it. I marie myself out a liar. Not that I mind save that it hurts my self esteem. Anyway, they shouldn’t have let me down. Droopily yours, The Swshbuckler. NUMBER 15
