®he ZiTmimt ißrmrii VOLUME XVII THIS, THAT, & THE OTHER By MRS. THEO. & DAVIS Wow that summer apples are large enough to fry, tomatoes are ripening and the corn’s on the cob, things are looking as if our family might get through the summer. There is one more barrier be tween me and starvation. It’s dog food, the canned kind. I have tasted it, and found it much like the “potted meat with cereals” that may be bought for almost any price from five cents for a small can up to your limit in price. I have read that some of the canned food for dogs is made from horse meat instead of beef, though much of it has the coarser, tough er beef as a basis. Os course horse meat may not be sold for human food here, though it is permitted in other sections where foreigners want it, having become accustomed to it before emigrating to the United States. Horses are surely much cleaner in their hab its, eating and otherwise, than are hogs and chickens, and it is mere ly our prejudice that makes us gag at the thought of devouring old Dobbin when his days of plow ing and pulling are over. Every now and then we hear of some one who mistook dog food in the refrigerator for something the housewife had put up for another meal and made a sandwich of it, enjoying the food until told what it was. But not until last week did I know that there are in this state those who buy it from pref erence—or from deference to their pocketbooks. A friend from a town much larger than Zebulon told me of a grocer’s saying that he sells many cans to colored persons and mill workers whose funds are running low. Dogfoods have to pass inspection and are of sound, clean ingredients—the canned sort, I mean. I mentioned the above to the colored woman who helps me mornings and she was profoundly shocked, declaring she could nev er bring herself to eat such stuff. I insisted that I could arid would, if necessary; for I know I’d rather eat dog-meat than to starve or beg; it would be easier to swal low than my pride. When it comes to something cool and refreshing to drink on one of these sweltering days, I’ve found nothing else as good as iced tea, freshly made, fairly strong, poured over chunks of ice as big as will go into a tea glass and drunk without sugar, lemon, mint, or anything but more tea. No, beverage could be cheaper unless! you confine yourself to plain wa ter. If you try this, be sure not to let the tea steep too long and get bitter—five minutes is plenty of time for it to stand before be ing strained off the leaves. It seems that few families around here care much for shelled string beans, using them only when they are young and tender enough to snap. But we like the shelled-out beans even better. They are slow er shelling than are butterbeans or peas, but are as good eating. Cook them with a piece of meat, tt THE FOUR COUNTY NEWSPAPER—W AKE, JOHNSTON, NASH AND FRANKLIN BOY SCOUTS GO TO CAMP Boy Scouts of Zebulon with th* leader, the Rev. C. F. Allen, went for a camping trip near Raleigh on Monday of this week. Making the trip were Allan Denton, Fred Pearce, Wayne Privette, Bobby Denton, Fred Page, Jack Gregory, Henry Massey, R. H. Brantley, Ben Ivey, Dave Finch, Oren Mas sey, Marshell Keith, J. K. Brant ley, and assistant scoutmaster, Gordon Temple. DO YOU BELIEVE IN FAIRIES? If you believe in fairies you may be able to do something with the latest suggestion from Wash ington that there will be "a bal anced budget in the near future.” You can’t look into the futur<_ with starry eyes, through a tele scope, and find anything in space that resembles a budget. ROOSEVELT NOMINATED BY DEMOCRRATS Smashing precedents as to time and term, Democrats in conven tion at Chicago nominated Presi dent Roosevelt to succeed him self in office and be the first third-termer in the history of the United States. The first ballot was conclusive. No choice for vice-president had been made when this paper went to press. or season with gravy from fried fatback or with butter, and you’ll hardly be sorry the beans ripened faster than they could be used. The first time I went to visit my husband’s parents his sister made what they called a mountain fruit cake. She baked gingerbread in thin layers and put the layers to gether with a filling of warm, thick apple sauce that had been well sweetened. Then she set it aside to stand until moisture from the fruit had penetrated the gin gerbread. When cut it was some what like a present-day ice-box cake, and a delicious dessert. Put cream on, if you like. Try this while apples are plentiful and Make gingersnap dough and roll out the layers and your “fruit cake” will be better than if bat ter is used. And don’t forget that everyone —homefolk and company—will en joy corn fritters. Use about one egg to a good-sized ear of corn. Cut the com from the cob as fine ly as possible, beat the eggs light ly, mix in the corn and a pinch of salt, drop by spoonfuls in hot fat and fry, serving with the bacon used to get the fat. Or use fat back, or the grease from an old hen you cooked a few days ago, or plain lard for the frying. Only remember that you’ll have to cook a lot of the fritters and need not use any flour in them if eggs and corn hold out. If not, splice them with a few spoonfuls of milk and a little flour. Good for any meal, but especially for supper when you want one hot dish. ZEBULON, N. C., FRIDAY, JULY 19, 1940 Wakelon’s New Teacher Speaks Before Rotarians Friday evening marked the 24th 100 per cent attendance of Ro tarians at weekly meetings with no sign of a let-up. Vaiden Whit ley was made leader of the Wild cats and William Cheaves of the Tigers. They will try to keep their animals on the perfect at tendance list. Kermit Corbett had the program and “put on the dog.” Prof. Black, Wakelon’s new teacher of agriculture, was the speaker. He explained his salary’s being paid from (three sources: Federal, State, and county funds, which Two Tobacco Barns Filled In Five Hours By 31 Workers No Biblical question has been asked oftener than “Who is my neighbor”? On the south side of Zebulon they don’t answer that query in words; they go out and show you. On Wednesday of this week a part of A. C. Chamblee’s tobacco was ready for the barn; and ev ery farmer knows that when leaves need pulling there is much lost by waiting. But Mrs. Cham blee is seriously ill; and the family stays near her. Farm crops, like time and tide, wait for no man, and the Chamblee prob- MIDDLESEX GREETS BARACA CLASS The Zebulon Baraca Class thor oughly enjoyed a pig and chicken barbecue supper at Middlesex Wednesday afternoon. About 75 members attended and all were loud in praise of the hospitality of the good people of Middlesex. Many business men and church workers of the town came out to welcome the class. Mr. and Mrs. Luther Wenborne served the sfpper to the entire satisfaction of all. Members, come to Sunday School next Sunday and bring some one with you. Visitors are always welcome. W. O. Glover ANOTHER ODDITY On Thursday Curtis Wright brought into the RECORD office a small ear of com growing at the end of a tassel. He found it fn the garden at his home. The little ear was well-formed with twelve rows of kernels in the milk stage. Exports of Apples lessened It is thought that war condi tions will affect adversely the ex port of apples this fall. Chief buyers of American apples abroad have been the British Isles, Hol land, Belgium, Norway and Swe den, none of which is expected to take nearly so much fruit this year as normally. The English insist that children sent from there to this country for the duration of the war be called not refugees, but evacuees. They explain that a refugee is one who flees from captured territory, while an evacuee is one who leaves be fore it is compulsory. was not known to some present. Prof. Black stated that about 62 per cent of boys who study agriculture follow that vocation. The rest are helped in their chos the course. Teachers are doing en work by what they learn in their best to assist students m getting (the right start in life. Every effort is made to keep the teaching in line with scienific discoveries and inventions. The program closed with sing ing by a colored quartet which was enjoyed. I lem was solved in the old-time J way of sympathy aided by effort. Thirty-one workers assembled at his barns Wednesday, their num ber including primers, handers and truckers. In five hours they had filled two barns. In these uncertain times no one could foretell what that tobacco will bring on the market; but one may safely say that its barn ing will pay dividends for years to come. Verily, they know the meaning of neighborliness on the South side. FHILATHEA CLASS MEETING The Philathea Class of the Zebulon Baptist Sunday School met Monday evening with Mrs. W. O. Glover, with fourteen mem bers and two visitors present. Mrs. E. C. Daniel had charge of the program. Mrs. J. M. Whitley led the devotional and Mrs. W. N. Pitts spoke in her usual interest ing manner on “Forgiveness.” After a short business session the hostess served refreshments. MRS.

Income American farmers in 1939 had a gross farm income of $9,769,000, 000 from farm production and Gov ernment payments, announces the U. S. Bureau of Agricultural Eco nomics. Pork Since the program was authoriz ed in December, 1939, the Surplus Marketing Administration has bought for domestic relief distri bution 241,000,000 pounds of lard and pork products. Defense The vast U. S. defense program may be at least a partial solution to the problem of finding use for the Western Hemisphere’s cotton, copper, and other materials for merly sbld to European countries.
