©he Z cbulott ißrrnrh VOLUME XVI. Garden Club To Give Xmas Prizes; Wakefield Is Invited To Participate The Zebulon Garden Club is sponsoring a Christmas Decora tion Contest again this year. The date and prizes to be published later. Begin making your plans for this. The Club is very anxi ous for a number from W.ikefield and Zebulon to enter. Prizes will be offered for: 1. General appearance as seen from outside. 2. Entrance to a door. 3. Window. 4. Outdoor decoration. House not considered. Send in your name or cal] the chairman, Mrs. Annie P. Jones as soon as possible. It is earnestly hoped that mans will enter the contest; not be cause the prizes will be of spec ial value, but for the sake oi creating beauty at the Christmas season. In no other way may pleasure be given to more per sons at less cost. It is not necessary to go to much, but no one should be de and berries are highly effective. Os course electric lighting adds much, but rk ine should be de terred from decorating Because of its absence. Again, there is a distinct ad vantage in outdoor decorations, as the danger from fire is thereby lessened. Indoor arrangements should not be so large as to create a fire hazard. Hopefully the Club asks for cooperation and especially invites those in Wakefield to take part. Turkeys Plentiful Judging by appearances and advertisements, there will be no shortage of turkeys, despite two celebrations only a week apart. The fowls are more reasonable in price this year than they fre quently are, being sold at an aver age price of 25c per pound, and the quality seems good. THIS, THAT, AND THE OTHER By MRS. THEO. B. DAVIS •Last week was such a whizzing, whirling, dizzying series of haps and mishaps with me that when at irregular intervals I tried to study my Sunday School lesson the golden text rose up to smite me. “He went about doing good.” And it seemed I was going about making a botch of everything un dertaken. My memory used to be my strong point, as style or beauty or charm is with more favored women. And last week I search ed high and low for a certain sheet of paper on which were written numerous items of per sonal mention. It had one about Mrs. Vaden Whitley’s mother be ing here a week and going home on Sunday with the Frank Poin dexters of Winston-Salem; one about A. C. Dawson being home; other told of Evelyn Hunt Mor row going to Asheville to stay awhile, and of E. C. Daniel, Jr.’s short visit to see his folks. One was about the Miss Hil bum who visited Mrs. L. M. Mas sey. And to save my life I couldn’t THE FOUR COUNTY NEWSPAPER —WAKE, JOHNSTON. NASH AND FRANKLIN New Recreation i Center Near By So far nothing has been writ ten in the Record about a new development less than two miles least of Zebulon on the highway Ito Rocky Mount. It is on the farm of Joe Tippett and beside the highway at “The Rocks” on Rocky Branch. This has always been a favorite place for picnics long before the highway was built that way. We would not miss it much if we said thous ands of pounds of barbecued chicken has been consumed by hungry and happy picnickers at “The Rocks.” A number of years ago the late C. H. Chamblee built his home on the north side of the what-was-then a dirt road. His barn, garage and other out buildings were built to the south. And the Chamblees welcomed the picnic parties. After Mr. Cham blee’s death, Joe Tippett, a suc cessful dairyman from Johnston county, bought the place. There was a natural depres sion between the highway and the large rock over which the water pours. Years ago there was a cot ton gin just below run by water power. Mr. Chamblee, before his •death considered putting in an i overshot wheel and generating his own power. Mr. Tippett has also considered such a venture. His boy wanted a swimming pool. So he started out to build a small pond for his and other boys’ pleasure on hot summer days. When excavations began it was found that the gradual slope from the bridge was smooth solid rock. This gave the builder a bigger idea. Why not build a larger pool so everybody might enjoy bath ing near Zebulon on hot summer cays and evenings? Why not (Continued on back page) remember what had been done with that sheet. Finally I rewrote what could be remembered at that minute —and after the Record was mailed found the missing items carefully tucked away in my purse. That was the way things kept going. Everyday I resembled the Apostle Paul in that “the things I would I did not, and the things I would not, I did.” By the last of the week it was really get ting serious. Sharp criticism on one or more occasions had reduc ed my opinion of myself to pret ty near zero. Then there came a man for whom we have done some work heretofore and for whom we were doing more. He told me he ap preciated the interest taken in it and our efforts to give satisfac tion; said he is sure we had done our best and to let him know when the job was ready for de livery. And after that man left I found myself relaxed and rested and (Continued on back page) ZEBULON, NORTH CAROLINA, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 1, 1939 AT CHURCHES THE METHODIST CHURCH 1- Schedule of services for Sun day, Dec. 3: Church school —10:00 Young Peoples Service —6:45 Church service—7:3o.

Glover WAKEFIELD CLASS MEETS The Young Married Ladies Class of Wakefield church met Friday night, Nov. 24 at the home of Mrs. William Jones, with Mrs. Glenn Joyner presiding. The pro gram was in charge of Mrs. W. R. Bullock. The subject was “What Southern Baptists are do ing in Europe and Africa to carry out £he Great Commission." Those taking part on the program were Mrs. Raleigh Sherron, Mrs. Edison Wood, Mrs. Jack Mitchell and Mrs. C. B. Pace. During the social hour contests and games were enjoyed. The hos tesses served fruit cocktail, cakes, black coffee and salted peanuts, with decorations carrying out the Thanksgiving idea. • CHURCH SUPPER Attention is again called to the supper to be served on Saturday evening by women of Pearces church. The proceeds will be used to help make the final payment of the debt incurred when the new building was erected. The public is invited. Junior Chamber of Commerce To Offer Prize For Xmas Decorations Road Contract Is To Be Let On Dec. 7 a contract will be let for the grading, surfacing, and structures on highway 91 be tween Zebulon and Wake Forest. The proposed route joins high way 98 east of Wake Forest. No road news for years has been of more interest to so many in this section. For several years a “temporary 91” has left the paved road just in front of the Baptist church and before reach ing Wakefield has become just what the weather and traffic make it. During the winter months it becomes almost im passable because of mud; in sum mer it is usually of the “wash board” variety and those who travel it go up and down almost as much as forward. While there is no telling how long the work may require, there is ground for rejoicing that it is to be started. SUPPLY PASTOR Rev. Theo. B. Davis has been called as supply pastor of the Pine Level Baptist church until a permanent pastor can be secur ed. He will preach there each First and Third Sundays mom- CLUB SUPPER Maids and matrons of the Ju nior Woman’s Club put on a sup per Tuesday night that drew a large attendance and proved sat isfying as well as appetizing. All profits went into the club treas ury. Mrs. Eugene Privette president of the organization, with her many co-workers deserves much credit for the success of the oc casion. THE POET AND THE PEASANT By DOCK (Again this week we have a guest writer for the Poet and Peasant. Welcome friend. We wish more of you would send in your contributions. Pick your own subject. Would like to have a guest writer at least once each month. There is always something on your mind and this is a mighty good place in which to get it off your chest.) “I just heard a story that in terested me,” said the Peasant as he met his friend that genial fel low, the Poet. “I’ve plenty of time,” said the Poet, “tell me about it.’ “Well, it’s rather lengthy, but I’ll condense it as best I can. “It appears that in a certain town there lived a tongue wag ging female by the name of Miss Orry who was forever taking things to mean the wrong thing. Whenever she saw something that might have a touch of scan dal in it she always managed to tell it to the greatest number of people in the shortest length of time. Things that shouldn’t be discussed were like manna from heaven to her eager ears. At the regular meeting of the Zebulon Junior of Commerce on last Tuesday night it was decided to give the merchant or business house have the most attractive decoration a prize, which will be worth his while. The merchants and business men are urged to cooperate with the organization in this effort to make the business section more attractive and to create a better yule tide spirit. The next regular meeting night will be Tuesday, December 12. at which time a party will be pre pared for the members and their guests. All members are to bring their wives or girl friends. Rev. G. J. Griffin is chairman of this committee and promises a very in teresting evening for those who attend. A committee was appointed by President Massey to act as a fact finding committee and work with a committee of women in the mat ter of storing firecrackers in the corporate limits of Zebulon. This committee was composed of Rom Moser, Jesse Narron, and George Griffin. Those present were very much pleased at the apparent success with which the present advertis ing campaign was having. During its duration there has been over a hundred thousand dollars worth business transacted in the town, and has been instrumental in get ting over ten thousand people to visit our town. On last Saturday afternoon Ravo Bailey of Zebulon, R. 2, carried away $25 while Mrs. Ray Gainey, Henry Hoyle. Mrs. S. P. Gill, Mamie Mitchell (col.) and Paul H. Massey carried away $1 each. Glenn Bunn of Zebulon R. 1 left the lucky posesor of a brand new $5 bill. Number 83578 was called for the cumulating prise and after two minutes of waiting no one answered so the last prise next week will be S2O. * “Several times young girls who made missteps in the path of Hfe were drarged in the muck and mire by Miss Orry until they had to leave their homes. “Young men who could and would have been great leader* in their town were dragged down when they erred and Miss Ortj'n list of fatalities grew each day. Other women liked to listen to Miss Orry, because she knew all that shouldn’t be told about every body in town, and the least tiring that might have been out of the way was made to sound quite aw ful by Miss Orry’s agile mind and flapping tongue. “Miss Orry had the whole town afraid to move, to even leave home at night or be seen talking to anyone they weren’t married to. Lives of painful goodness were led by everybody lest Miss Orry fabricate a story about some mi nor infraction of the rules of so ciety. “Then one day Miss Orry saw her best friend’s daughter come in in the middle of the morning with an evening dress on.
