SLhr Zebulon ZL'rnrit VOLUME XVI. Wake Forest Scribes To Play Return I Cage Tilt Here Soon 1 The Wake Forest Scribes, Wake Forest College intra-mural lead ers, will play a return game with the Zebulon All-Stars on Satur day night, February 24, at 7:30 in the Wakelon gym. The Scribes, featuring expert long shots, won over the Zebu lonians in a previous game, 90-68. This was the highest total score ever run up in the Wakelon Gym. John Jett, six and one-half foot center, featured in the Wake For est attack with 31 points. Myron Harris, who was a regular when attending Campbell College, scor ed 21 points. Both these players will be here. Rumors have leaked from some where that an anti-aircraft gun is being bought to stop Long John Jett. But with the addition of two Corinth-Holder teachers, Lew is and Payne, to the Zebulon squad, no such action will be taken. Eight of the Wake Forest play ers top six feet. One of these, Garland Herndon of Cary, made All-state Class B guard. Waller To Come Jim Waller, Southern Conference scoring champ, has been contacted, and all reports state that he will be here to give more trouble to the locals. “There will be no repetition of that loss,” states Barry Davis, manager of the locals. “Our squad has improved greatly, and with the addition of our two new play ers, we expect to win, and win by a large score.” Davis Confident Ferd Davis, manager of the Wake Forest team reports other wise: “No small town team can THIS, THAT, AND THE OTHER By MRS. THEO. B. DAVIS Passing along the sidewalk Sat urday afternoon of last week, I saw mail carrier Clarence Pearce in from his day’s rounds, taking something from his car. And such a car! Its long sides were mud spiashed, its wheels were mud caked, gobs of wet clay hung from its under side, even its windows and windshield showed stain of ■oil. “0”, I exclaimed in simulat ed surprise, “it is shocking to see a man of your standing and abili ty with a car looking like that. ’ Mr. Pearce turned around, saw me, and straightened slowly, closing his fists and drawing down his eyebrows. “If”, he said, “I didn’t think you are a lady, and a nice lady but even at that, you’d better run.” My retreat was not really a run but there was no use hurrying off fast as I did go, if I hadn’t been intimi dated. From my mother who is visiting a siste r rear Brookneal, Virginia, came the news that they did not have anj mail delivered for five days curing the recent cold spell. There is still much snow there, Cut she s*:'d, “Lelia and I are hav ing a good time. We retire at 9:00 p. m. and rise at 8:00 a. m. Did you ever hear of anything that sounds more comfortable? It makes me sleepy to think of it. THE FOUR COUNTY NEWSPAPER—WAKE, JOHHSTOH. NASH AND FRANKLIN ZEBULON, NORTH CAROLINA, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY SIXTEENTH, 1940 come near topping the Scribes. Our speed and skill have proved detrimental to every team that we have played. We are undefeat ed, and we plan to remain that way.” Tickets for this contest are on sale now, and anyone planning to see this game should buy one at once, so that they may be sure to have a seat. Scout Program Sunday Night Boy Scouts of Zebulon direct ed by Scoutmaster Allen led an impressive service at the Baptist church Sunday night. Following the flag they marched down the aisle preceded by Pastor Griffin, Mr. Allen, and R. H. Bridgers, R. V. Brown, I. D. Gill, and J. R. Sawyer representing the Rotary Club which sponsors the scout or ganization. These occupied chairs on the rostrum, as did Assistant Scoutmaster Gordon Temple. The scouts gave their creed, oath, and salutes. The choir sang an anthem. Mr. Allen, pastor of a group of Presbyterian churches in this section, was introduced by Mr. Griffin as one who, though a resident of the town for only a' short while, has made for himself a place in its life, and who works for its best development Mr. Allen explained the scout movement, basing his remarks on Daniel’s purpose not to defile him self with the king’s meat nor with (Continued On Back Page) Last week we bought some sweet potatoes from C. S. Chamblee and they were left at the office. We have baked a good many of them on top of the big circulating heat- 1 er that warms the shop. The best way, we 1 ave found, is to lay the j p aato-.*- on the grill work on top the stove and cover them with an inverted pan. Next bear is to put them in me pan and cover with another. Those circuiting heaters don’t burn them as others do. This is passed on to inform readers who like to see a fire pay for itself in every way possible. Then, too a hot baked potato may also serve as a part of the pause that re freshes —unless you’re too much afraid of getting fat. Working in the office here, it frequently falls to my lot to count out items which we keep in stock. Usually it is not a bad job, but when they come in asking for crop lien and chattel mortgage blanks, a hundred at a time, it depresses me to the point of tears —if tears would help. There is something deeply discouraging, something radically wrong in the mortgaging of a crop before it is j begun. It is unfair to both debtor j and creditor, the farmer having to pay a high rate of interest be cause of the risk involved, and the merchant or agent being forced (Continued On Back Page) Fred A.

THE POET AND THE PEASANT By DOCK “Let’s not talk of the weather, or such things,” said the Poet to his Peasant, as they slit the last chew of tobacco the Peasant had. “Suits me,” said the Peasant, “After all, the weather has been speaking for itself lately. So we’ll just let it rest.” ,‘Nor war,” amended the Poet. “Nor government,” added the Peasant. “Nor relief.” “Nor taxes.” “Nor death.” “Then,” asked the Peasant, “Tell me about what we’ll talk.” “The state,” answered his friend. “Ah-oh,” said the Peasant, “here we go on things we weren’t to discuss.” “You’re wrong” said his friend. “I’ll prove it.” “At your leisure.” “Check. First let’s look at the state from a geographical stand point. We’re located just below the cold weather zone, and above the semi tropical area. This accounts for our comparatively cool sum mers, and certainly with few ex ceptions far from uncomfortably cold winters.” [ “Correct. And now that you’ve • mentioned it, we are out of the I hurricane and tornado district* l enough that we seldom have storms i of any magnitude.” "Right And agriculturally om • seasons and soils are good for al- NUMBER 33 most any crop, for food or com mercialization.” “Labor is plentiful at reasonable rates. Our unemployed seldom are out of work long if they really want to work.” “Financially, few states in the union have a credit standing that equals ours.” “And our state is rich in histori cal lore, as well as folk.” “Don’t forget our educational institutions.” “I haven’t, nor have I forgot ten our highway deaths. Fourteen people are killed every day on our highways.” “True, but New York has four teen every hour.” “And our tobacco factories, the largest in the world. Funny, but not one in every hundred people , who live in Durham, and are not employed by the tobacco companies has ever been inside to see how , cigarettes are made.” , “That’s true, all right. But let’s bring it nearer home. Our local . 1 people are few who have been in f to have their local ice manufac turers explain the mysteries of freezing our most efficient refrig e erant. And fewer have seen our e fertilizer plant in operation.” * “Pity, isn’t it?” s “Yes, it is. .. . Looks like rain, now, guess I’d better mosey along r home. S'long.’' I- “Slang.”
