©hr Zebulon tßrrurii VOLUME XVII. THIS, THAT, & THE OTHER By MRS. THEO. B. DAVIS E. C. Daniel, Jr., came into the office one day last week and talked with me—and listened to me—for some time. E. C. is one of those who deserve the oft quoted “Local Boy Makes Good” headline. Now with the Associ ated Press in our Nation’s Capi tal, he looks almost exactly as he did when he used to watch his father and carefully pose in the exact attitudes taken by E. C. Sr. At that time he was only a few years old. If there’s one thing more flat tering for an oldster than being paid some special attention by a youngster, it seldom comes my way. And that’s one of E. C. Jr’s, habits. It may be that we look more natural to him than the sets that have grown up since he went away to the University; and his own school friends at Wake lon have “dispersed and wander ed” considerably; but it is nice to feel that he remembers us. Two weeks ago my daughter and I saw from the kitchen win dow a pair of robins teaching a young one to fly. When they at last succeeded in persuading him to use his wings in going from the ground into the holly tree, all three were delighted. But Crystal and I were a bit worried. The young bird’s breast w’as not red at all, but speckled, and he looked much more like a thrasher than a robin. Crystal told the father bird she feared, if he knew all, he might not be so proud; but as often happens with suspicious women, we were wrong. I read just now in a magazine that the robin is among the many kinds of birds whose young differ greatly from mature ones in ap pearance and that the newly feathered babv robins have speckled breasts. Going into a local store last week to buy some hose I paused at a rack that displayed them, each pair under the name of its shade. I read “Flirtatious,'’ “Magnetic,” “Joyous,” Audaci ous.’ None of those stockings could possibly have been meant for me; so I didn’t even ask the price, but turned and left the store. 1 am wondering what will be the names for the shades made for women of my age and status. Isn’t there something you can put into a bag with dried apples to keep the fruit from becoming wormy? Lula Mae, my colored helper, thinks she has heard of china-berries being used, or of spicewood twigs being put in. Having, for the first time in my life, enough dried apples to use through the winter, I am much . concerned about keeping them in | the best possible condition. And all I know is to shake it around in the bag and sun it occasionally. When you have more green com than is needed to cook for one meal, place the ears not used in cold water for a while, then lift them out, wrap in a cloth or put into a paper bag and store in the refrigerator. The extra moisture wiU prevent drying-out and the kernels will be full and fresh when taken out for cutting or boiling on the cob. New Faculty of Wakelon Schools For Year 1940-41 Is Announced Rains Stop; Dam Falls at Tarpley’s Although the dam at Tarpley’s mill pond gave way because of the pressure behind it; although the flood waters of Little River have done some damage; this section knows comparatively noth ing at first hand of what the re cent rain has meant in other sections. North Wilkesboro in the west ern part of the state, Roanoke Rapids, Weldon, Williamston, and other eastern towns have been ravaged by rivers swollen far beyond their banks, and in some instances beyond any previous record. Cotton, lumber, cattle and crops have been lost or ruin ed, hundreds have been forced to leave their homes, some have lost their lives. Relief agencies have been rushed to centers of destruc tion to give all possible aid and supplies are being forwarded. Governor Hoey has requested that some usual formalities with regard to unemployment compen sation be suspended for vicoms sation be suspended for victims doubt as to whether, under exist ing laws, those unemployed be cause of such reason are entitled to compensation. Heart Attack Is Fatal To Temple Charlie Thomas Temple, 60, farmer of Bunnlevel, died at his home Thursday at 5 p. m. of a heart ailment. Funeral services were held at the home Friday at 2 p. m., and burial was in the Bunnlevel Cem etery. He was a son of George and Sallie Liles Temple, and was a native of Wake County. Survivors are his wife, Mrs. Alice Temple; six sons, Herman, Henry, Grover and Bernice Tem ple, all of Bunnlevel; James Temple of Burlington, and Jesse Temple of Linden; a daughter, Mrs. Lester McLamb of Dunn, Route 3; two brothers, Mavlon and Lorenzo Temple of Zebulon; two sisters, Mrs. Milton Strick land and Mrs. Thomas Whitley of Zebulon; 21 grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. Contractor Sues Town of Zebulon Tuesday morning’s News and Observer carried an item telling that E. H. Peitzman, trading as United States Elevated Tank Maintenance Company, has filed suit against the town of Zebulon for time and labor lost when town officials stopped work that had been begun and for which the company had a contract. The work in question was on the town water tank and was stopped be cause it was thought the Dric? was excessive. The amount for which claim is made is $1,018.66. ZEBULON, N. C., FRIDAY, AUGUST 23, 1940 Wakelon to Open On September 4 With the sound of the school bell less than two weeks in the future it behooves both parents and children to keep in mind the fact that time is short befoie September 4, opening day at Wakelon. Pre-school children have had their clinics, and it is hoped, all preventive and curative work nec essary has been looked after. They should be ready to begin on the first day for a whole term’s work. Supt. Moser has sent to the RECORD a list of the faculty members for his year and it ap pears below. Mr. Black is al ready here and has begun some of his projects. Misses Barrow and House are former Wakelon students. Miss Beam is a niece of the former Miss Beryl Beam, now Mrs. Smith, who once taught music here. Teachers for the year 1940-41 are E. H. Moser, Prin.; Lewis W. Alexander, Science; Cleaton 0. Armstrong, History and Coach; Miss Mamie Beam, English; Stu art J.

Public School Music, Mrs. Robert Daniel Mas sey; piano, Miss Jocelyn House. We have had several changes in our school faculty this year. Some of these changes came as a result of teachers resigning. We are convinced that many of these changes will mean that the faculty is strengthened. Miss Beam, of Louisburg, takes the place of Miss Swain; Miss Brake, of Rocky Mount, takes Mr. Deck er’s place; Miss Peterson, of Smithfield, takes Miss Toler’s place; Mr. Modlin, of Warrenton, takes Miss Woodard’s place; Mr. Black, of Concord, takes Mr. Tuten’s place; Mr. Armstrong, of Ayden, takes Mr. Austin’s place; Miss Mary Barrow, of Zebulon, takes Miss Clarice Fowler’s place. Miss Jocelyn House, of Zebulon, takes Miss Barbee’s place as piano teacher. Each of these new teachers is well qualified and comes to our community with a seriousness of purpose and a determination to render splendid service to our school and community. Cotton A United States cotton crop of 11,429,000 bales, of which North Carolina is expected to produce 588,000, has been forecast by the U. S. Department of Agriculture. Zebs Win Place In Semi-Finals The Zebulon Zebs will play Sel ma in the Central Carolina semi final play-offs beginning Satur day and lasting until one team wins three games. This series climaxes a Zebulon drive in which the locals dropped but four of 23 games. They rose from the cellar to third place. Worth Hinton led the Zebulon entry at bat with a percentage of .501. Hinton batted 23 hits for 45 times at the plate. Jack Mitchell came second, batting .488. Bullock was third, batting .400. Woodrow Lindsey took fourth with .378. Woodrow Lindsey and Jack Mitchell have slammed four hom ers each. William Bullock and Buck Poole hit two each. Ray Hardee, Jackie Bullock, and Worth Hinton have one each.

Zebulon players have hit 14 homes, 6 triples, 18 doubles, and 242 singles. This heavy hitting has produced as many wins as the fine Zebulon pitching. Be sure to see the semi-finals.

Massey and Albert Medlin make up their attendance. These boys are old war horses in the club and will not break the record. Robert D. Massey had the pro gram but he couldn’t be present so he had Luther Massey to pinch hit in his place. The subject was “What Do Folks Think of Ro tary ?” Luther made an interest ing talk, stating the principles of Rotary; how it was trying to serve the community without pay or honor. It was a credit to any town to have a group of its busi nessmen get together once a week to discuss the welfare of fellow citizens. Rotary has done much for Zebulon and the community, and is working harder to accom plish greater things. Ted Johnson of the Raleigh Ro tary Club, also past Rotary Gov ernor, was a welcome visitor. He said that he had been a Rotarian for fifteen years and had not missed one meeting; that being a Rotarian' had helped him in his business and had been the means of knowing folks better; that be ing a Rotarian with him was next to his church. | CHURCH METHODIST CHURCH Services for Sunday, August 25: Church school—10:00.
