(Ebr Zebulon ißcrorb VOLUME XVI. THIS, THAT, & THE OTHER MRS. THEO. B. DAVIS In case you noticed the mistake in the City Market’s ad last week, lay the blame on me. The fault •was all mine. I went up there to get copy for that ad and Bob Sawyer just called out the items to me and I wrote them down. When he said “Heinz tomato juice,” I wrote “Hines tomato juice” as fast as the pencil would go. The only possible excuse is that I used to read ads of Hines products, and didn’t see the cans that I was writing about last week until after the paper was printed. Then .when I went into the Mar ket and saw a big lot of cans la belled HEINZ it was such a shock I almost forgot what I went for. Mr. Sawyer didn’t complain. This explanation, or apology, is entirely voluntary, and I do hope the price helped out the name of his juices. When, as so often happens, I find I’ve made a mistake, there’s nothing that perks me up and en courages me like finding some one far more important has also made one. This gave special sig nificance to the following quota tion from a recent novel by a well known author: ‘There’s nothing new in the situation, of course. Mothers-in law and daughters-in-law—old as Sarah and Hagar.” The situation may have been old; but it was certainly not mother-in-law and daughter-in law with Sarah and Hagar. It was much more complicated, as may be proven by reading the 16th and 21st chapters of Genesis. The prophet Micah spoke of a time of woe, and, describing it in detail said the daughter-in-law riseth up against her mother-in law. Micah prophesied about 2660 years ago; Sarah and Ha gar lived nearly 1200 years ear lier than that. Still daughters in-law may have risen against the husbands’ mothers even before then. The error was in the per sons used as illustrations. But all of them didn’t rise up against; look at Naomi and Ruth. All who failed to go to our postoffice on Thursday or Friday of last week missed something. They had changed the interior so much that no one felt at home. Pastor Boone plaintively lamented the loss of his favorite standing place. Marion Whitlock couldn’t decide what to lean against. Oth ers hunted in bewilderment for their mail-boxes. And they had given us combina tion locks instead of the ones with keys! And such combina tions! They had blue prints of the boxes with directions, and Mr. Sexton, Ruby Dawson and Marie Watson would come out whenever time could be found and try to teach us what to do. Mr. Pittman Stell must have learned at once—he’s a surveyor, anyway—and he walked out right away, wearing his usual expres sion of calm dignity. Dr. Flow ers laughingly announced that he had learned how to get his mail, (Continued on Page Two) THE FOUR COUNTT NEWSPAPER — WAKE, JOHNSTON, NASH AND FRANKLIN ZEBULON, NORTH CAROLINA, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 1939. Five County Fair October 9th - 14th It is now less than three weeks until the date set for the Five County Fair. Time to be selecting the best ears of corn, pecks of grain or potatoes, stalks of cotton, bundles of tobacco, the nicest pumpkins, beans, grapes, apples and sunflowers. Time to empha size the fact that the best of the hams must not be cut, but saved for exhibition. Time to decide about the clearest glasses of jelly and the prettiest jars of canned fruit and preserves; to begin special treatment for the potted plant that may win a prize for its owner. All this takes time and best results cannot be expected when the job is hurried and the one who selects is worried. There will be plenty to do at the last minute. Cakes, pies, biscuit, candy, must all be freshly made; cut flowers must be arranged just before being exhibited; booths must not have their decorations placed too long ahead of time. Do all possible before the rush be gins. Wade Privette and Dabney Gill, promoters, are really trying to put on a Fair that will be a credit to themselves and the community. They have arranged for Bantley’s All American Shows, reputedly among the best of such attrac tions; they are working out plans for local projects of interest. The Junior Woman’s Club will sponsor a wedding at the Fair. Other announcements will be made later. Read your catalog and watch the columns of this paper. Campaign For Hospital Funds Governor Clyde Hoey and Dr. Thurman D. Kitchin, president of Wake Forest College, will head the speakers Thursday. Sept. 28, at a dinner in Winston-Salem in connection with the enlargement campaign of North Carolina Bap tist Hospital. Representatives of Baptist churches will attend. The hospital plans to complete its campaign for $200,000 within the next two months, so as to be able to go right ahead with con struction work which will double its size. The need to act quickly was brought to a head by the decision of Wake Forest College to build a new medical school on the hos pital grounds, and extend its medical course to four years, made possible by the Bowman Gray endowment. The dinner will begin at 6:30 P. M. in the Robert E. Lee Ho tel. The Baptist church repre sentatives will stay over a day to make a visit to the hospital and to receive instructions regarding the campaign. They will be the guests of Winston-Salem church es. No contributions for the hos pital will be asked or accepted at the dinner. Mathematics and all sciences seem full of contradictions and impossibilities to the ignorant but are clear to those who understand them.—Baxter.

A.’S A study class for her Royal Ambassador chapter was conduct ed by Mrs. A. S. Bridges at her (Continued on Page Two) 7he Poet and Peasant By DOCK “I have heard quite a few people criticizing what you had to say last week,” said the Poet. ‘‘l’ll tell you what I’ll do,” said the Peasant, “I’ll bet you two to one that if you heard as many as 25 disagree with it that there was n’t more than one out of the 25 that thinks. When I say think ,1 mean constructive thinking. The other 24 might be smart as far as physical labor is concerned, but they are lazy when it comes to mental work.” “Maybe I don’t get what you mean about thinking,” said the Poet. “Do you mean thinking like our dictators are doing? Planning for the future and having a defi nite aim in life, etc?” “Sure I do,” said the Peasant. A man who really thinks is one who knows where he is going and has made plans to get there. I don't mean just buying the ticket, but having determination enough to pay for that ticket.” “It sounds very simple,” said the Poet. “I believe that most people think if that is“all that you mean.” “That is just what I do mean,” said the Peasant. ‘‘You aren’t even thinking yourself when you make that statement. Os course if I wanted to go to Raleigh I would buy a ticket and get on the bus and go. I would have to pay for P.-T. A. Study Class Meets On Thursday night, Sept. 14, the P.-T. A. Study Class held their first meeting in the new vo cational building at Wakelon. Mrs. Sexton, chairman of this group, led the devotional, follow ed with prayer by Mrs. Herring. The devotional Was very inspiring and helpful. The theme for study ths year is American Youth. The topic for the September meeting was “The Farmer Has a Son.” This subject was discussed by Mrs. Kimball of Wakefield. She gave this in a most forceful and inter esting manner. At the close of her talk a round table discussion was engaged in by the group. During the delightful social hour the ladies of the Zebulon Baptist Church served tempting refreshments. During the social hour a tour was made of the new vocational building which all of us are very proud of. This build ing is a great asset to our com munity. There were 24 present at this first meeting. We hope to double this number at our next meeting. Gourds To Be On Exhibit The Gourd Village Garden Club of Cary will hold an exhibition of gourds in the Cary High School on September 23-24. Hours on Saturday are for both afternoon and evening; for Sunday, after noon only. There is no admission charge and the public is invited. that ticket too, but instead of thinking and finding out the truth, I have allowed the transportation company to do my thinking. A thinker is the man who is in search of the truth. One who wants to know thinks about life and living. One who is willing to sacrifice in order to learn more about life —not at the expense of others but through his own efforts he will seek the truth and the truth will set him free he will never have a dull moment nor will he become boresome to others. The whole world will admire a thinker.” “What’s wrong you haven’t said anything about the war?” asked the Poet. “Well said the Peasant,” I don’t know anything about it and I can’t seem to find anything out a bout it either. There is one thing that I have found out though Somebody is planning to get rich at the expense of the American public. Take one item of food a necessary one at that lard. Three weeks ago you could buy lard for cents a pound. Hogs were selling for $6.50 a hundred. Today lard sells for 15c a pound and hogs aare selling for $7.60 a hundred. The source or raw ma terial has gone up one cent on the pound while the finished product has gone up six cents. There’s something wrong somewhere when things like that happen.” Cotton Marketing Cards Now Ready County Agent Jno. C. Anderson announces that 1939 Cotton Mar keting Cards are now available for all Wake County cotton pro ducers who have not exceeded their cotton acreage allotment this year. These cards can be obtain ed at Room 312, Raleigh Post Of fice Building. Cards will be issued in 3 differ ent colors this year. Growers who have not exceeded their cot ton acreage allotments or have de stroyed all excess acreage will be issued a white marketing card and permitted to sell all cotton they produce this year. Growers who have exceeded their acreage allotments and failed to destroy this excess acreage will be issued a red marketing card that Will limit their sales to a definite poundage allotment. Growers who failed to comply with the pro gram in 1938 and now hold cot ton carried over from last year on which a penalty or tax is due will be issued a blue marketing card for the amount of cotton on which tax is due. All ginners and buyers have been instructed not to gin or buy cotton that cannot be properly identified with a marketing card without collecting 3c per pound tax on the cotton purchased. All growers should cooperate with ginners and buyers by pre senting their card when the cot ton is ginned or sold. Ginners and buyers are required to keep accurate records of all cotton handled this season, and since they do not receive pay for this extra trouble, the grower should assist in keeping the records com plete. None of these cards will be transferable and any grower who fails to comply with the regula tions will experience considerable trouble in addition to losing any benefit payments that may be due him this year. Home Grown Seed Make Best Trees Seeds from trees in the back yard or along a neighbor’s fence are likely to produce better trees than those from distant places, says R. W. Graeber, forester of the State College Extension Ser vice. Graeber .explained that trees must be thoroughly adapted to the climate of the planting site. Seed of even the same species gathered at great distances from the planting location cannot com pete with the home-grown prod uct. Sooner or later, thet State Col lege forester said, a variation oc curs in the size of the seedling trees and in their survival, usually in favor of the home-area seed lings. Local seed are considered to be those obtained within a hundred miles of the planting site and with a difference in ele vation of not more than 1,000 feet. Mrs. Hunter Bell and son, Rob, have returned from a ten days visit with friends at Wilmington and Wrightsville Beach. NUMBER 12
