©hr Zebulon ißrrurii VOLUME XVII. THIS, THAT, & THE OTHER By MRS. THEO. B. DAVIS Mrs. Ormond Massey called me Monday to tell me that if I had dropped my peeled apples in salt water before drying them, there would have been no danger of their getting wormy. She says use two tablespoonfula of salt to a dish tin of cold water and it will keep the fruit white as well as protect it. Why didn’t I think to ask about that before begin ning to dry apples! However, it will be a big help in next sum mer’s work. I do wish all my friends and neighbors would send in the items of knowledge they possess with regard to cooking, sewing canning and all other phases of housework. You’d be surprised to learn how many don’t know the ways you use to save time or improve results. I will not use names, if you don’t want yours printed; but let’s have a spell of trying to help each other through the RECORD columns. When our pastor (began last Sunday morning to speak of Mary and Martha I thought to myself: Now, Brother, you’re treading on slippery ground. This is not a good time of the year for women to listen assentingly to any great amount of criticism of Martha and her busy-ness. If you’d wait till all the fruit is dried, canned or preserved and the jelly made, the vegetables canned or pickled, the children’s school clothes made ready, and at least a part of the tobacco grad • ed and sold, we might be in a frame of mind to hear more ap provingly of sitting still while there is so much to be done. But Mr. Griffin got along well with the sisters, though he did have Martha slam a few pots and kettles. (Where did he get that idea?) Still, I could understand the mind of a young matron who said to me after the sermon: “I always wind up feeling they’ve been unfair to Martha when they preach from that text.” My own personal solution of the Mary-Martha problem is to simplify housekeeping and to re member that dozens of ta«ks re quire only a minimum of thought during their performance. Any Woman can do lots of studying while dinner is in preparation or while mending or making beds. Then, when the hour of rest arrives one has only to sort out and classify the thoughts that have been partly developed, and quiet meditation is more than ever profitable. Don’t get the idea that I’m one of those who would choose a pas tor’s texts for him. Pity knows he couldn’t select one that would n’t hit somebody, and most likely in away not intended. And when my time comes to be reminded or rebuked, that’s quite all right. Ts my pastor never said anything that seemed meant for me it would seem he wasn’t Paying at tention to my way of living. That it could be improved ia certainly Local Man Shot Tuesday Morn Oscar Corbitt, farmer, was seri ously wounded on Tuesday morn ing of this week by Theodore Ar rington, Negro farm hand. After some argument between the two about some of the work, Corbitt was shot, the bullet puncturing the intestines. He walked to the house and drove his car to Zebu lon for first aid, after which he was taken to Rex Hospital. His condition is said to be fairly good. Arrington has not been arrested, having left the field for parts unknown. Deputy G. C. Massey has been quoted as saying he believes the man has gone out of this county. Clubs Sponsor Joint Barbecue The Wendell Rotary Club and Zebulon Rotary Club will hold a joint meeting and barbecue din ner with the Zebulon Junior on Tuesday, September 3, at 6 P. M., with the members of each Chamber of Commerce at Tipplon club expected to bring their wives or lady friends. One of the major purposes of this meeting is to celebrate the opening of the golf course just completed by Joe Tippett at Tipp lon as a new medium of recreation and pleasure for the public. The program for the evening includes a tour of the course, and several short talks by men who are well known locally and are interested in local sports activities, with Mr, Wade Lewis of Raleigh as the main speaker. This celebration is by no means confined to members of the clubs, but is open to anyone interested in local civic and sports projects and everyone is cordially invited to attend. Ticket sales are in charge of J. Raleigh Alford and Mr. Fred Pearce op either drug store in Wendell and the Zebulon Drug Co. and the Zebulon troop of scouts or from any member of the Junior Chamber of Commerce in Zebulon. Tarpley Has Plans To Rebuild Dam Little River has not looked nat ural under the bridge at Tarp ley’s Mill since the recent flood broke the dam. It is good news that Mr. Tarpley plans to bc build this, using material more sturdy and lasting than that which went into the construction of the dam that is gone. true. “Grandma Called It Carnal,” is the most delightful book I’ve seen for some time. If you want to be amused, entertained, sad, sor lowful, strengthened, and inspired to keep on trying, read how Grandma managed. It was writ ten by Bertha Damon, in the first person, and sounds true as living. And it deals with poor folk like a great many of us. ZEBULON, N. C., FRIDAY, AUGUST 30, 1940 Hardbarger’s Business School The 16th Fall Term at Miss Hardbarger’s Secretarial and Bus iness School in Raleigh will be or ganized on Monday September 2.

Lee Designated As Richest Man The late Jesse V. Lee of Dunn has been designated the richest man in Harnett County. Al though he was known to be well to-do, perhaps none knew exactly the extent of his possessions. Af ter his death executors found approximately SIOO,OOO in cash, bank accounts and real estate bringing the amount of the es tate to a half-million dollars. Mr. Ijee is said to have spoken often of being pressed foi* money. A son who was bequeathed seven ty-five dollars a month has brought suit and extensive litiga tion may result. Mrs. A. V. Medlin of Zebulon is one of the five children in volved in the settlement. Contract Is Let For Highway 39 Contracts for over a million dollars were let this week for 16 projects by the State Highway Commission. Among the con tracts was 10.02 miles of grading and bituminous surfacing on N". C. 39 between N. C. 98 and U. S. 264, let to W. C. Shepherd of At lanta, Ga., for $33,673.85. John H. Brinkley of Thomasville con tracted the structures (bridges) for $36,848.35. Grading already contracted has begun or will soon. This road connects the Selma road with Bunn. Wakelon Schools Greatly Repaired Extensive improvements are be ing made at the school plant here. The grammar school building is having new wiring to replace that which was becoming obsolete and dangerous. The teacherage has a new roof, new floors, many win dows replaced, plastering mended, lighting facilities extended, clos ets built and bathrooms installed. The reception room has been made larger, and new furnishings are to be added. Not one of the num erous improvements was made be fore it was needed, and some have been needed for years. It should be a matter of pride end gratification to the commun ity that Wakelon’s boarding teachers are to be so comfortably situated this year. Rotaries Have Guest Speaker Last Friday evening made the 29th consecutive 100 per cent meeting if Judd Roberson, Chas. Allen and Vance Brown make up their attendance. Irby Gill had the program, his subject being the tobacco situation. He had as speaker vV. P. Hedrick of the agricultural department. Mr. Hedrick gave a history of tobacco. He sad it was thought the Chinese used tobacco two thousand years ago. The European countries learned of tobacco from Colum bus, who discovered America in 1492. When the white man saw tobacco smoked he asked the In dian what it was. The Indian, thinking he meant his pipe, said it was “tarbaco.” The Europeans first used to bacco as snuff. Tobacco seeu was first grown in France in 1551. Tobacco was first cured by the sun, later cured in barn by fire built under it. The first tobacco cured in barns heated by rock furnaces was in Granville County, N. C. Later the rock furnaces were replaced by modern iron flues. * An enormous amount of tax is collected from tobacco. An acre averages one thousand pounds. The producer receives on an av erage 15 tents per pound or $l5O, per acre. The government will 1 receive $4,000 in taxes on that same acre. The government re ceives more taxes from tobacco than it does on liquor. Mr. Hedrick stated that he thought tobacco w r ou!d sell for a fair price for the next few years, whether the war is won by Eng land or Hitler. The control has helped the prices for the next few years. Mr. Hedrick’s story of to bacco was informative and very interesting. Space does not per mit telling all he told us. Mr. B. W. Davis of the Raleigh Rotary Club was a welcome visi tor. Mr. Horace Jones is home from Georgia, where he has been on the tobacco market for the past three weeks.
