Schedule of services for Christ (Continued on back page) THIS, THAT, AND THE OTHER It has been more than twenty years since I felt just as I do now about wishing “Merry Christmas” to any except small children. And even then there was not the tinge of hopelessness that threatens to color my ideas today; for at that time our husbands, brothers and sons were fighting to make the world safe, and to end war; that failure lies heavy on our hearts, and with thousands at war again no one can positively say our own will not be called to take part once more. It sounds smug and selfish mere ly to thank the Lord that we are not in armed conflict; and in the back of our minds there is ever a picture of children separated from parents; of the aged suffering in need and alone; of youth dead at the beginning of life’s high crest; of the bitterness that shall live through generations. How can we be merry? MEN WORK ON NO. 70 Progress is being made rapidly on the work of widening U. S. Highway 70 between Zebulon and Nashville. The work will be com pleted soon. By MRS. THEO. B. DAVIS At times, as I take part in or dinary conversation there is the same feeling we have when, going into a home where lies a corpse, we carefully speak only of the com monplace, never touching on the thought uppermost in the mind, lest self-control give way and we begin lamenting. Just so, we sel dom speak of what the war in Eu rope means to us—it might mean so much! But after all, mirth is worth far less than many of the other parts of life and living. It may be thoughtless or even cruel; so lam wishing for all my friends the deeper and higher joys that come more directly from Him whose birthday Christmas commemorates. I am always interested in Christ mas decorations, though staying scared whenever candles are used and children are near; and I do hope every one who can will take Continued on Page Two) THE FOUR COUNTY NEWSPAPER—WAKE, JOHHSTOH.

THE POET AND THE PEASANT By DOCK “Now aren’t you ashamed of yourself for having fussed with various people during the past year?’’ asked the Poet. “Yes and no,” said the Peasant. “Yes, because I feel that it was a responsibility one has when he is working for the public to give the facts as near as possible and No because, well I kinda feel like I would like to have everyone call me friend, at least during this season of the year.” “I would like to have everyone call me friend all of the time,” said the Poet. “Furthermore, I think you have the wrong slant on your own discussions or cricisms. It has been understood by me, and I think many others, that all of this criti cism that we have offered has been done on a friendly basis, with no animosity toward anyone.” “That is true,” said the Peasant, “but just the same there have been some who have taken a different at titude toward it than that and it is those few that I would like to cal NUMBER 25 Wakelon Pupils Present Concert Wakelon pupils gave their an nual concert last Sunday afternoon in the school auditorium.

David Mills, the one supposed to have fired the fa tal shot, was carried to Raleigh for fear of mob violence. me friend if just for these few days when we all remember the arrival of the one great gift to all mankind.” “By the way,” the Poet, “have you been around and seen the houses in Zebulon and Wake field?” “To tell you the truth, no,” said the Peasant, “but I have seen the store windows, and I’ll declare un to you, they’re about the prettiest this year they’ve ever been. Take the one at Flowers’ for instance. There is a lot of work on that dis play and it is downright pretty. Then come on down' to Baer's and you will see a window that would be a credit to towns much larger than Zebulon. Some real thought and effort was expended there. As usual the Zebulon Supply and the Zebulon Drug Store had a nice window display. The boys at the grocery stores even made their store fronts look Christmassy. In fact, nearly every place in bu&i- Continued on Page Two)
