Zrbuimt ißprord VOLUME XV. THIS, THAT, & THE OTHER MRS. THEO. B. DAVIS Recently I read “ten command ments for newly married couples.” One said, ‘‘Thou shalt make a family budget and live up to it.” The idea was good but the ex pression faulty. With most young couples it is not living up to the budget but living down to it, that is hard to do. The proper relation between income and expenditure may be hard to realize, and is still harder for many to stabilize. But it is one of the pillars of se curity in the home. Into the office one day last week came Mrs. S. B. Nash who used to be a milliner at the big Ch&mblee store in Wakefield be fore there was a Zebulon. She was Miss Kate White then. She likes the Zebulon Record because it carries items concerning people she knows, and renewed her sub scription, also giving me the re cipe for hot cakes found in an other column, and topping all off with a compliment. She said she approved so fully of my column about funerals that she cut it out and filed it with instructions that its ideas be carried out at her death. I hope the time is not near at hand, but some day this communi ty is going to see some sensible funerals. If your phone rings these days, the chances are it is some one offering you a slip of one thing, a cutting of another, or seed of something else. Recently Mrs. John Broughton sent me a big box full of violas already bloom ing; Mrs. Outlaw offered to save a piece of her big white chrysanthemum; Mrs. Albert Medlin gave me a Scotch broom bush; Mr. Henry Litchford wrote to ask if I want a Japanese wal nut (I certainly do); Mr. A. G. Tyner of Kenly wanted to know if we have all the spireas we can use; and right across the street John Massey I Mrs. Merritt) has an immense garden from which I continually receive donations. Then there’s the garden club ready and willing to aid any one in town or comumnity who wants flowers. No wonder we hear more favorable comments as to the appearance of our town than were expressed before we all be came so flower-conscious. I am glad that the garden club offers only ribbons this year in stead of nrizes for best specimens. A flower lover derives about as much satisfaction from displaying the results of her labors as from receiving any other reward; the ribbons cost much less than priz es; and the change is in keeping with what is being done by much larger clubs in other towns and cities. One of last week’s cartoons showed a man pointing to the strip of ground between the strips worn bare by his automobile tires on his driveway and saying tri umphantly to his wife, “I finally found a place to plant the (Please turn to back page) THE FOUR COUNTY NEWSPAPER—WAKE, JOHNSTON, NASH AND FRANKLIN CHURCH NEWS BAPTIST CHURCH On April 30, the following ser vices will be conducted in the Zeb ulon Baptist Church: 9:4s—Sunday School. 11:00—Morning Worship.

Barbee presented her pianoforte students in the school auditorium. The stage was deco rated with floor baskets of wei gelia and spirea. Each young la dy wore a long dress which was managed with surprising ease. The program was divided into two parts, the first being given by younger players. After a pre lude by Cleo Glover and a wel come by the class Hilda Winstead and the class gave a solo with chorus. Viola Hopkins gave s se ries of descriptive readings, paus ing for solos by Baxter Hopkins, Georgia Ruth Eddins, Hilda Win stead, Mary Fisher Finch, Edith Lee Medlin, Maxine Duke, Judy Robertson, and Carolyn Massey. ! Part two began with a duet by* Beth and Mary Gordon Massey, ] followed by a duet with Sarah 1 Eaton and Charles Horton per-1 forming. Next ware Cleo Glover and Viola Hopkins, also in a duet. The next duet was played by Mel ba Duke and Myra Gay, after which Dorothy Mizelle played two solos. The rhythm band gave a spirit ed march, directed by Charles Horton and with Mrs. Barbee ac companying at the piano. The final number was The Star Spangled Banner, sung by the class as the audience stood with them. Cleo Glover, draped in the United States flag, pantomimed the anthem. Selections from the classics were the main offerings by the more advanced pupils, while the younger children had numbers chosen largely from folk tunes. Each had a pleasing melody and every performer gave evidence of careful training. ♦ The Country Gentleman, founded in 1831, is the Nation’s oldest ag ricultural magazine.

Secretary of State Thad Eure To Give Final Day Speech Dear Patron of Wakelon School: Our commencement this year is on May 2, the exercises will begin at 10:30 o’clock. Mr. Thad Eure, Secretary of State, is to de liver the commencement address. Mr. Eure has a keen interest in state affairs and should bring us a message worth hearing. According to our long time custom we will have our picnic dinner at 12:00 o’clock. This fol lows immediately the graduating exercises. I feel confident that the people in our community will endeavor to make commencement day not merely a school closing day hut a real community day. With fifty-seven graduates (the largest class in the history of the school), the community dinner, a ball game in the afternoon be tween Wendell and Zebulon, and the senior play in the evening at 8:00 o’clock, we should have enough activties to make this get together time a great occasion for our community. There is something of extra ordinary interest in the type of commencement we have at Wake lon. It has a tinge of the old fashioned in it, a touch of friend liness, and a flavor of good com munity spirit that makes one feel proud to be a citizen of the Wake lon community. Personally lam sure that you are going to lav aside your regular routine of work on May 2 and take part in these activities that center around the closing of Wakelon School. With sincere wishes I am, Very truly yours, E. H. MOSER.
