©be Zcbulon 2L*ntri> VOLUME XV THIS. THAT, & jj THE OTHER MRS. THEO. B. DAVIS Mrs. Cleve Chamblee gave me a jar of blackberry jam that is about the best I ever tasted. She had put the berries through the food chopper before adding the sugar and cooking them. The seed are so broken up they are no more bother than strawberry seed would be. Try it next summer. It is a fine idea. While 1 don’t have as much time for cooking as I had some years ago, every now and then I see a recipe that sets me wild to try it. Last week it was one for making marmalade. I bought, according to the directions, one grape fruit, one orange, one lemon, all fairly large. After washing them, all three were cut into pieces and run through the food-chopper. They made nearly four cupfuls. I ad ded three times that much water (eleven cupfuls) and let the whole thing stand for 24 hours. After that I brought it to a boil, added five pounds of sugar, stir red it until all sugar was dis solved, and again, put it away for 24 hours. Then I cooked it until thick. I had more than five pints and it is a lovely color. Good, too, if you like the bitter taste of or ange and grape fruit rind. Also cheap, since it costs about seven cents a pint when you don’t count your time nor fuel. And, if you should not like it, put it in pretty little jars and give it to those you want to re member with a small gift. It sounds so stylish to say, ‘ Here is some orange (or grapefruit) mar malade for you,” and it costs less than blackberry jam, if you buy the berries. But it isn’t as good. It’s the sort'of stuff to serve with toast and tea Tor lady company and a jar of it goes a long way. Another thing that is nice to give away is a clove apple. My niece who lives in West Virginia brought one to her mother Christ mas; a big Delicious apple entire ly covered with cloves stuck up to their heads, and with a bow of red ribbon on its stem. It perfumed the room and fascinated me, be cause though I had often heard of them, 1 had never before met one personally. On my way home I stopped at my daughter’s in Raleigh, told her about the clove apple, and at once began to prepare one. I selected a Baldwin —that was the kind j Crystal had—and, though she thought she had cloves enough to fix it, she bought another box of them. We used all she bad and all she bought. Then they brought the unfinished apple out here and we used all the cloves I had and half of a new box before it was finished. If you decide to try one, better pick out a small Grimes Golden. Crystal remarked that she could buy dozens of nice little gifts at Woolworth’s at no more each than that apple cost and with far less work. It is supposed to last indefinitely without rotting due to the preservative value of the cloves. Mine hasn’t smelled rotten yet, but has shriveled piti fully. And I was afraid to risk putting it among my linens to THE FOUR COUNTY NEWSPAPER—WAKE, JOHNSTON, NASH AND FRANKLIN CHURCH NEWS BAPTIST CHURCH • ” Following are the services to be conducted in the Zebulon Baptist Church, Sunday, Jan. 29: 9:45 —Sunday School. 11:00 —Morning Worship.

DUNFORD The First Baptist Church of Winston-Salem, of which Mrs. Margaret Dunford was a member at the time of her passing, had a I memorial service for her last week. “This is our ‘ln Memoriam’ to | Mrs. Margaret Dunford, unit char | ter member, who passed into i eternal sleep on Tuesday, Jan. 10, 1939. “A devoted mother, not only to her children, but to every child in her ken. A friend like no other friend, a neighbor like no other j neighbor — her keynote in life: i ‘Service to Others’. ‘‘God took her away into His Eternal Kingdom, away from mor tal ailments and harassments, and the world, richer for her having lived in it, suffers the loss of one of its most beautiful and coura geous characters. Priceless the heritage she left behind to her children. Futile our words and efforts to still the aching pain of those left behind who grieve her loss. “Inscrutable are the ways of the ! Lord and we bow in humble sub mission to His Divine Will.” GENERAL NEWS Storms over the Atlantic Ocean during the past week caused a number of deaths and the loss of several ships .... j Earthquakes in Chile on Wed j nesday of this week wrought dis aster.

An attempt to bring about an other farmer election on tobacco control has failed.

ZEBULON. NORTH CAROLINA, FRIDAY. JANUARY 27, 1939 James, Braswell, Bullock High In Examination Our readers recall that when the examinations were held for rural mail carrier on Route 1 some time ago, there were 40, more or less, who entered the race. The first news forecast of the winner has been released by postmaster Sex ton. The genial manager of the Wakelon theatre, Mr. James, made the highest grade. Our efficient night policeman, Mr. Braswell, made second highest score. Mr. j W. L. Bullock, who was employed with the Zebulon Supply Co. for some time, while not the highest or near the highest, was put on the preferred list. He is a world war veteran and also disabled. Some are guessing that since vet erans have a preferred lead and especially since he is disabled, that Mr. Bullock will get the job. But one fiuess is as good as an other. Every statement made till i Postmaster Sexton announces the winner will be a guess. 0 Sign Up Now For WorK On Cemetery 0 If there is a man, white or col j ored, who is in need of work, he ! now has an opportunity to get it. i The government has made an ap i propriation to improve and protect the Zebulon cemetery. Work will soon start. It will be done by la borers from this and other com munities. If a sufficient number cannot be obtained locally, then they will be sent out from Raleigh by truck. So if need work, if your neighbor needs work, or if you know of any one who does, get busy. Go to Raleigh and Register at the Montague building, for it will be impossidle to get work after the project begins. It is claimed by the relief department that Zebulon does not need this work because the people are not in need. Very few of them have reg istered for work on this cemetery, they say after it has been an nounced in the Record weeks ago. So if any one wants work or would like to see the cemetery put in fine shape, he had better go to Raleigh just as soon as possible and reg ister for employment. This sug gestion ie mads at the request of Mayor Avon Privett. P.- T. A. Sponsors Play At Wakelon On Thursday night of next week Oh Doctor, a Triangle production will be staged in the Wakelon au ditorium at 8:00 p. m. The play is coached by Miss Ruth Anderson and is sponsored by the P.-T. A. to raise funds for standardizing the school library. Oh Doctor is a three-act com edy with 14 main characters and more than 50 in choruses. It is hoped that the entire com munity may enjoy this sparkling program. The usual prices will prevail. Did you know that the average commercial customer can use from 25 to 30 percent more electricity on the new rates without paying a penny of extra cost?

A bachelor uncle getting a tre mendous amount of pleasure in buying and giving to his nine months-old niece a pair of over alls and then watching her, in them, crawl over two rooms ener getically and enthusiastically up setting everything possible for her strength, finally being rescued from an entanglement with the treadle and framework of the sew ing-machine. A colored woman paused in wringing out clothes from the rinse to tell how mortified her daughter had been when at school she was called up by “the 4-H teacher,” who proceeded to criti cise othe girl’s print dress, explain ing that the flowers were too small for style. (It was probably a part of her lesson on clothing). The mother went on to tell of going to the principal and explaining her circumstances, saying that all she could undertake to do was to send the children to school clean and fed. He said no more could be ex pected—but the child’s feelings were terribly hurt because of some one’s thoughtlessness. No use trying to tell a child of that age how little part mere style need play in life .... The small daughter of the Mah lon Temples has made definite and decided announcement that she is not a baby any longer but is now a girl. . .
