THE FOUR COUNTY NEWSPAPER—WAKE, JOHNSTON, NASH AND FRANKLIN Methodist Church Services for Sunday, June 16. Church School—10:00. Young People—7.oo. Church Service—B:oo. A special effort is being made to increase the attendance in both Church School and Church ser vice. Will you be one to help bring about a greater interest in the church? Baraca The attendance was off a little last Sunday, probably on account of the very hot day. There will be plenty fans next Sunday and we are expecting a record crowd. Rev. R. H. Herring taught the class and every member expressed himself as being greatly helped. We all want him to teach again soon. Fellows, I am expecting you next Sunday. DUG SPENCER. Zebulon Has 1069 The census enumerators listed 1069 persons as residents of Zeb ulon this spring. This is an ad vance over the number given in the census of ten years ago. but somewhat disappointing to those who had felt the present popu lation would reach a higher to tal. If any were missed, they should at once notify the enum erators, who did their best, but may have been unable to get all names. About 269 increase as of present figures—not 840 as one of the state dailies had it last week. Roosevelt The powerful Democratic lead ers in Washington will insist on the nomination and reelection of Roosevelt for a third term. That seems to be definite even though the President should make a state ment to the contrary. Leading Democrats are now in terested in picking a new Vice- President who would be strong enough to succeed Presdent Roose velt —the theory being that he might resign after the war emer gency is over. Sanitation An increased interest on the part of Currituck County poultry producers in sanitation will result in more healthy pullets, says L. A. Powell, farm agent of the State College Extension Service. Peak Peak diggings of this year’s Irishpotato crop in Beaufort Coun ty should be reached between June 15 and 20, according to A. L. Eagles, assistant farm agent of the State College Extension Ser vice. ZEBULON, N. C., FRIDAY, JUNE 14, 1940 THIS, THAT, & THE OTHER By MRS. THEO. B. DAVIS If you think, as I did for a long time that the Braille system of criting used by the blind is punch ing little holes in paper to form the same kind of letters we seeing folk have, you are as mistaken as I was. Braille letters cannot be read by those who have not made a special study of them. You wouldn’t know your own name in Braille at first sight of those characters. And another interesting fact is that a letter written in Braille can go by mail at a lower postage rate than one you or I would write —at third class rates. The missives are not folded, but rolled, and the ordinary person couldn’t make them out anyway, so the lower rate is certainly all right. And it is pleasant to think about blind per sons being able to carry on corre spondence that must be a greater joy to them than most of us know. Friday morning while out in the garden picking snap beans for some reason I remembered the line, “The old order changeth, giving place to new”, and tried to recall the changes that have come in my day. Perhaps it is because they took place in my day, but I be lieve few generations have seen more of change than mine. We used to feel that the old ord er changed slowly, in privacy, nev er laying aside the last of outmod ed garments before pitting on a part of the new, and proceeding with such leisure in her prog ress down the halls of time that there was always dignity and de corum—which was probably an idea of our own, not based on facts. But in the present age the order scarcely has time to be called old before she changeth, not one time, but many. And she changes right out in public whenever the notion strikes her or enough of those who rebel against her. Sometimes, to us who love stability, the order of our times seems as naked as truth and as brazen as falsehood. And we stand abashed, if not ashamed. But the cycle goes on, and we may be assured that again “the old order changeth, giving place to new.” If the changes to come are for the bet ter, let us be thankful; if for the worse, we can at least comfort our selves with the fact that \ye who are old won’t have to endure them very long. ' The Curtis Publications—Satur day Evening Post, Ladies’ Home Journal, and Country Gentleman— will not carry advertising for in toxicating liquors. This was re cently decided by the board of managers. For years I have thought the Post about the best medium-priced magazine for the home, because of the character of its fiction and the reliability of (Continued On Back Page) Correction In A. G .Kemp’s ad last week a mistake was made whereby Ni trate of Soda was offered for $3.00 a bag. Thus should have read $3.30 a bag. All prospective customers are asked to note this correction. Zebs Say “Au Revoir” And Vacate Cellar Spot Baptist Church The following services are to be conducted in our church, Sunday, June 16th: 9:4s—Sunday School. 11:00—Morning Worship. Ser mon topic: “Why a Revival?” 7:ls—Young People meet. B:oo—Evening Worship. Ser mon topic: “The First Christian jxperience Meeting.” G. J. GRIFFIN, Pastor. New Highway Work of topsoiling the road from Zebulon to Wake Forest has beei: begun, and it is thought that the hard-surfacing may follow at an early date, and that the job may be finished in three or four months. Several faamilies have come to Zebulon to stay during the time of road building. They are having some difficulty in findng rooms or apartments. It is hoped that all who have quarters for rent wili let it be known. This important stretch of highway means much to Zebulon and a good way to show appreciation for it would be to help provide living accommoda tions for those employed on its construction. Rotarians Hear Stacey Wade Zebulon Rotarians held the nineteeth hundred per cent meet ing. Three were absent: Profes sor Moser, who had already made up his attendance, Robert Daniel Massey and Professor Tuten who stated they would make theirs up in Wendell. Irby Gill had the program and he “put on the dog”. He had C. O. Kemp, his two sons and their wives to sing several selections. This was much enjoyed. The speaker of the evening was Mr. Stacy Wade, head of the Social Security Board. He spoke on that phase of work explaining the different angles. This was a sub ject that all the Rotary members are interested in. Many questions were asked, Mr. Wade showing exactly how social security money was collected and paid out. He gave examples showing its .bene fits for wage earners. The farm er, of course, was left out to go to the poor house in his old age under thepresent form. Mr. Wade stated bills are under discussion whereby almost every working man may benefit whether on a salary or for himself. The Social Security Act has been in effect in Europe for forty years, but in America only four years and we have made more progress than Europe. The Rotary felt honored in hav ing Mr. Wade. If everyone could have -been like him, there would be no need of Social Security and old age pensions as he refuses to quit work and grow old. The Zebulon Zebs vacated the cellar position they had held since they entered the Central Carolina Loop by virtue of their 7-2 win over the new cellarites, Goldsboro. Peanut Doak and Lynn shared mound honors for the locals and gave up only four hits. Murray caught for the Zebs. Thompson and Doak led Zebu lon’s eight hit attack with two hits for three tries. Carl Iddings batted .500 with a single. No play er for Goldsboro had more than one hit. Score: R H E Goldsboro 110 000 000—2 4 2 Zebulon 010 140 lOx—7 8 0 Thompson and Bennett; R.

She is in Canada. Princess Juliana fled first to Lon don when her country was invad ed by Germany, and is said to have been invited across the sea by Lord Athlone, Governor-Gen eral of Canada.
