DAVIS There’s one thing to be said for this cold weather; it enables the housekeeper to cook in quantity and put away for warming over. Some vegetables are much better freshly cooked than re-heated; but they are not potatoes, black-eye peas, collards, nor navy beans. Nor dried fruits. And a large piece of meat is always better boiled or roasted than is a small piece. With the main part of the cooking out of the way for a day or two, the housewife can sew, read, write, or —blissful thought—simply sit still for a while, happy over having saved time, and energy. A woman columnist recently as serted that no one likes to wash dishes. I do not enjoy washing the dinner dishes on a hot summer day when already tired; but most of the time that task is pleasant for me. It may be the result of ap plied psychology long before I ever knew the word itself. One of my early duties was to share the dishwashing with two sisters, and we took turns at it. To amuse myself I pretended that no one on earth could so perfectly clean up after a meal as I could; that kings and queens sent for me to go to their palaces and wasfy THE FOUR COUNTY HEWSPAPER—WAKE, JOHHSTOH.

Not until I accidentally overheard Mother tell ing a neighbor how nicely Bessie cleaned up the table did I realize the pretending had helped in two ways. I love warm soapsuds, anyway, They hold rainbows of promise of cleanliness and comfort. Who does n’t enjoy washing things easy to handle, not much soiled and re quiring not rubbing but sloshing and squeezing? Does any one but me rub the skin off knuckles when trying to get dirty garments clean? Never yet have I mastered the knack of putting pressure on cloth alone; skin shares it. I’ve watched Ne gro women go smoothly through a week’s wash that I couldn’t pos sibly have done and be smiling and ready to begin at another place when I’d have been prostrated by what they had already done. Strange how they manage! It may be that I rush too much. Yesterday I read that he who works with the soil must never hurry; and the clothes in wash are certainly soiled. (Continued on page four) Best Junior Play In Years Is To Be Given Tonight The annual Junior play will be given in the Wakelon auditorium tonight, January 19, at 7:30. The play, “Smart Boy,” stars Jean Flowers as Leslie Sabor and Billy Green as James Montgom ery Flagg. It is a side-splitting farce in three acts. The supporting cast includes Virginia Bridgers, J. W. Carrol, Courtney Allen, and Myrtese Hag wood. Virginia Bridgers and Billy Green played leading roles in the prize-winning play, “Grandmother Pulls the String,” given last year by the Wakelon Dramatic Club. This play won over five other schools in the district contest, and took second place at Chapel Hill. The plot of “Smart Boy” con cerns the plight of a young man who took a girl out one night, little knowing that she was a na tionally known star, and didn’t re turn until the wee hours of the morning. Those who have seen this play practiced are loud in their praise of Mr. Lawrence Decker and Miss Swain, Co-Directors, for their work in coaching the players. Zebulon Rotary Club Doings Albert Medlin had the program, which meant the trade mark for a good program. Music was fumieshd by the Wil liams brothers of near Pine Ridge and a Pearce boy from near Pearces. Albert introduced them as being from the wild and woolly West, from somewhere down around San Antonio, Texas. The boys were dressed in picturesque cowboy costumes. They sang, sev eral selections and played on stringed instruments. It was much enjoyed by all. A reading was given by Fred Page 111, He delivered it well as it was full of wit and humor. Prizes were offered for the best looking man. There was a visitor from Texas who won the prize. A prize was offered for the best looking lady. The Rotary Sweet heart, Miss Frances Barrett, won first prize and Mrs. Boone, wife of Rev. Ben Boone, won second place. EUROPE TODAY Helsinki.

We farmers are human just like the rest of you folks. If we can’t find AAA Offers Payment For Home Garden Farmers of North Carolina are I offered the opportunity to earn a conservation payment in 1940 by planting a home garden, announc es E. Y. Floyd, AAA executive of ficer of State College. One unit of l credit, or $1.50, is offered for the planting of a garden consisting of not less than one-tenth of an acre per person. In families contain ing more than ten persons, a one acre garden will suffice to qualify for the payment. Floyd said that the requirements are that the garden be adequately protected from poultry and live s stock, that good cultural methods .be followed, and that proper steps be taken to control insect pests. < Irish potatoes, sweet potatoes, * corn, and field peas may be plant j ed elsewhere on the farm. i The AAA recommends that ! three or different vegetables be c growing in the garden each month for at least eight months of the t year. Not more than one-fourth of the garden area should be planted to any one vegetable at any one time. The Triple-A officer suggested that farmers write to the Agri cultural Editor at State College, Raleigh, for one of several publi cations on home gardens. The Ex tension horticulturists at the col-' lege also have materials on the same subject whch will be sent free to interested persons. 11. R. Niswonger and L. P. Wat ! son, horticultural specialists, say that every home garden should I contain at least 12 different kinds ■of vegetables, exclusive of Irish 'and sweet patotoes. one thing to squawk about we will another.” “Just for an example,” said the Poet, “I’ll show you where you farmers are protecting yourselves with this control measure. A cer tain man owns a farm in Wake county on which there is over a hundred acres of cleared land. He has not been growing tobacco on any of this land, but this year he applied for an allotment. He got one less than an acre. Now that is where your control comes in. Control is a good thing if it is treated right. The whole success of this program depends entirely on your county agent and local committee.” , “I think,” said the Peasant, “that there is something to what you say, but nevertheless it is rather hard to have someone else tell you how much of anything you are to plant, especially when you own the land.” “I hope,” said the Poet, “that you farmers will cooperate and try this thing out fairly be fair with yourselves and each other if you feel that a mistake has been made, try and get it corected in an amiable manner remember that you are working for your own good that you have all to gain and nothing to lose if it proves satis factory.” NUMBER 29
