(EJje 2ebuUm Wivtovh VOLUME XV. THIS, THAT, & ji THE OTHER jj MRS. THEO. B. DAVIS TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: Philip Massey has Black Mexi can sweet corn for sale. Now don’t say this year you couldn’t get it and blame me for causing you to want some for planting. When the Braswells, father and son, moved from above the post office to Ruric Gill’s last week I happened to go by just as they were loading the truck and saw a homewoven woolen coverlet al most exactly like one my mother used to have. Wilson told me they have two of them, and that his grandmother Braswell made one and his grandmother Bunn the other. When I asked him to let me know if they ever decide to sell one, he politely promised to do so, but from the way he spoke there’s little likelihood of those coverlets ever leaving that fami ly. And they are the prettiest things! I keep holding back my inclina tions and repeating to myself the tenth commandment. i For one hour and a half last Saturday morning I worked around my rosebushes, digging out cjhickweed, loosening the soil and s.flding compost. And I never saw s® many cut worms! Every bush had at least one worm under it, and one bush had seven. I started carrying the worms to the pool for the fish, but finally got tired of walking and from then on squished them. I found the largest cutworm I ever saw—and he had whiskers- Ev eryone I have told of it laughs skeptically, and the worm is dead; but honestly, it did have a gray fuzz where its chin would have been, if it had had a chin. It was of very dark complexion and so large I examined it care fully to be sure it was a cutworm. As I was fixing breakfast Mon day my husband called somewhat excitedly for me to look at the tiny birds in the holly tree and on the window sill—only one on the sill. They were black-capped chickadees; and were not after holly berries. Instead they were carefully examining the spider webs, cocoons and wads of dried leaves about on the tree, picking out the insects and larvae hidden therein. You never saw busier little creatures. They could hang on the under side of a twig and peck from beneath as well as when right side up, and were as friendly as uninvited guests who by excessive cordiality try to make up for coming in unexpect edly. I watched them till the toast scorched. « Mrs. L. J. Glover sent me some extra good home-made soap last Thursday. But Mrs. Glover didn’t make it. Her husband did. It seems that she is like me when it comes to making soap, uncertain as to what the outcome may be. Mr. Glover, on the other hand, knows exactly how much lye and fat to use, how long to boil the mixture and when, and he never fails.

AUXILIARY MEETS The Intermediate Girls’ Auxili ary oi the Wakefield Baptist Church held its regular monthly meeting last Friday afternoon at the church with Lucille Pierce hostess. There were 20 present. These girls, following the effi cient leadership of Mrs. Joe Knott, (Please Turn To Back Page) been working on our subscription list, saw the soap cut from the cooking pot, and he said it was firm clear to the bottom. Proctor-Gamble, Colgate-Peet, and the rest of them had better watch out for competition if L. J. Glover should decide to give his whole time to soap-making. ZEBULON, NORTH CAROLINA, FRIDAY, APRIL 7, 1939. Recorder’s Court It was a case of strike three and out, for the court tried only three cases in a short session Wednes day morning. William Lay got drunk and couldn’t behave himself, so he was haled into court. Eighteen dollars court cost was the price of his illegal pleasure. William, better known as “Bus ter”, Hopkins was making a truck go without sufficient means of making it stop, which makes it bad for anyone ongoing when he oughter stop. He had $14.85 which would have paid for brakes, but the judge used it up in paying for fuel to run the court machin ery. Then one, Leland Montague, was caught operating a car in a reckless and careless sort of way. Old age, familiarity with roads, or just general cussedness on the part of the car may have beep re sponsible for that careless, reck less way it had, but the court thought different. Putting the burden on Leland, Judge Rhodes extracted a SIO.OO fine and $16.00 court costs from him. Perhaps that car will run more circum spectly hereafter. Hinton Turns In 1 Hit, No Run Game Hardin Hinton allowed only one hit in a game with Clayton Wednesday. He struck out 12 men while holding the invaders scoreless. The lone hit came in the sixth when Mitchell singled. The Bulldogs smacked out five hits including the three-bagger of Kimball. The Wakelon score came in the fifth. Pate, first man up, popped out. Pulley singled, and then stole second. Perry hit a short fly and was thrown out. Then Kimball smashed a three bagger to left field, scoring Pul ley. This was the only score of the game. Turner, Clayton pitch er, struck out six and walked three. Hinton did not walk any and allowed only two men to get on base. The box score: Clayton 000 000 o—o Wakelon 000 010 x—l R H E Clayton .013 Wakelon 15 1 In a previous game last week with Clayton, Robert Lee Kimball pitched a one-hit game. The score was 6-2, with Wakelon on the long end. Clayton made both their runs in the first inning on a hit and an error. The Wakelon tal lies came in the seventh when they cut loose with plenty of hits to win. These are the only games that Wakelon has played thus far. Games with Bunn and Corinth are scheduled for the near future. WHITE SPACE The space below was re served for names of those who had filed as candidates for town commissioners sub ject to the primary. At the time of going to press no one had offered his name. Most Important Legislative Measures Made Into Laws CLUB COLUMN P.-T. A. Wakelon’s Parent-Teacher As sociation will meet for the April program on Tuesday evening, Ap ril 11. T. E. Bourne, State Supt. of Vocational Agriculture, will speak on Finding the Right Job.

' ROTARY CLUB Zebulon Rotarians met in regu lar session on last Friday even ing with A. V. Medlin directing the program. Four boys from Pearces gave selections of string music which all present enjoyed. A. V. Medlin spoke on “What Zebulon Means To Me,” describ ing the town as a good place in which to live and work, and also emphasizing its possibilities of meaning much more to others. A number of members were ab sent. > THOUSANDS OF CANS Was the .drive to rid Zebulon of empty tin cans a success? That might depend upon the position held. Harmon James of Wakelon Theater probably found it a pret ty good idea. At least, there were 147 tickets given in exchange for the cans. And there must be at least 147 children of varying ages who are glad they had the chance to earn admission to a show. The Garden Club also rejoices over the more sightly, appearance of the town. On the other hand it must be admitted that it went pretty hard with the club treasury to pay for all those tickets —so many more than they had expected. For tunately,- some of Zebulon’s busi ness firms and interested friends came to the rescue with donations. Mrs. F. D. Finch says that thir ty times one hundred and forty seven is not all the cans brought in, as many children had a num ber in excess of those necessary to procure a ticket. The club desires to express ap preciation for the cooperation given in this effort at cleaning up the town. What do we live for, if It is not to make life less difficult for each other.—George Eliot. FAR-REACHING LEGISLATION ENACTED The 1939 Legislature at 2:30 Tuesday morning adjourned sine die to end a 90-day session during which it enacted precedent-setting legislation. It conducted its business in a manner that many legislative vet erans described as very puzzling, due to the lack of general floor discussion of bills. The results considered most likely to have a wide-spread and lasting effect in the state in cluded: Election Reforms 1. Drastic election reform, in cluding abolition of absentee vot ing in primaries; elimination of “professional markers,” and a re quired new listing of voters. Pri mary dates were advanced one week. 2. Health laws to make physi cal fitness a prerequisite to get a marriage license, to require blood tests of expectant mothers and re quire immunization of children against diphtheria. 3. A general fund revenue act on a permanent, or continuing ba sis, so that each Legislature Will not be forced to study a revenue bill such as this year’s 370-page budget recommendation. No major changes were made in present tax policies. Record Appropriation. 4. Appropriation of close to $155,500,000 for the biennium 1939-41, a record for biennial State spending. Many legislators ex pressed fear the appropriations would far exceed tax- receipts. 5. A new policy in provision of State general funds for agricul tural research on a broad basis by the N. C. State College Extension Service with increased fertilizer and feed taxes to provide addition al funds for Department of Agri culture expansion. 6. Provision for professional and specialized courses, and grad uate courses for Negroes at the North Carolina College for Ne groes at Durham and the \gri cultural and Technical College at Greensboro. Improved School Act 7. A school machinery act which for the first time since the State took over support of the eight-months term permits any school district with school popula tion of 1,000 or more to vote sup plementary taxes for a nine month, 12th grade or employment of vocational teachers. Permis sion is given for pay of teachers in 12 monthly installments. 8. Legalization, if the county commissioners approve, of horse racing and pari-mutuel betting in Onslow County, and provision for referenda to legalize the racing and betting in Morehead City and New Hanover County. 9. Amendment of the laws on unemployment compensation so as to give tax reductions to employ ers who stabilize employment. Many Local Bills 10. Dozens of local laws extend ing terms of registers of deeds, county commissioners, surveyors, cotton weighers, county recorders and solicitors. (Please Turn to Back Page) NUMBER 40
