(Hhe Zebulon ißgrorb VOLUME XVII. THIS, THAT, & THE OTHER By MRS. THEO. B. DAVIS From ’way up in Boonville Mrs. M. V. Fleming sent me word that if I cover the fruit when drying apples and when the pieces are fairly dry put them in a warm oven and heat thoroughly, I’ll not be bothered by worms. She also puts the dried apples into paper bags for storing. That’s preven tion, which my old copybook was right in saying is better than cure. Somewhere in mythology there was a man who gained strength from contact with Mother Earth. Consequently, when his enemies threw him to the ground, he came up stronger than ever. Probably in times of peace or leisure he lay around absorbing vigor until he was fairly “r’arin’ to go.” My husband is pretty much like that about the Chalybeate Springs church and congregation. His pastorate there was especially pleasant and during the period much was accomplished in build ing and remodelling. While he does not want to appear to be the kind of preacher who tries to check up on the work of suc cessors, he does love to go back once in a while and hold sweet converse with those who labored with him in the work. We went last Sunday, taking dinnelr with ,Paul Brajfileys and supper with Mr. Charlie An drews and his sister, Mrs. Nor ris—and incidentally with a good many more of the Andrews fam ily, who had a reunion that day. As usual, we enjoyed every min ute of it all. f . Chalybeate Springs church has the most active group of workers I ever knew in a rural organiza tion. Their building is of brick, with basement and gallery; they have fourteen separate class rooms; their own lighting system; water works; an oil-burning heat ing plant. They also have a water heater that tempers the water for the baptistry. The baptistry is the most beau tiful I ever saw. The back and sides are large paintings depict ing a river and its banks. Glass panels rising about eighteen inch es from the floor at the rear of the rostrum help to blend the water in the baptistry with that represented on the picture and during a baptismal service they seem to merge. Those new fluo rescent lights above make the perspective much more effective, and the whole thing is a sermon in itself. It was given by Mrs. D. B. Andrews as a memorial to her husband, who was a leading member of the church. The pulpit stand and chairs were given in memory of Mr. Bradley, father of the superin tendent of the Sunday school and are of special design, most fitting and attractive. And in the vestibule of the church is a drinking fountain which is much appreciated by (Continued on back page) Wakelon Schools Have Large Opening; Superintendent Moser Gives Statement Democrats Pictured above is President Franklin D.

Disease Two more Negroes, James Mor gan and Leo Holden, were tried and convicted today before Mr. Gill for failing to take venereal disease treatment. They were taxed cost of trial and given thir ty days, suspended sentence, un der condition that they take treatment each Thursday at the Zebulon clinic. Similar action will be taken toward others who are guilty. M. E. Valentine, Wake County V. D. Caseworker. THANKSGIVING Merchants of North Carolina again are worried about the date of Thanksgiving. President Roos evelt has proclaimed the third Thursday in November as Thanks giving Day. Indications are that Governor Hoev will again pro claim the traditional last Thurs day in November. A movement among merchants to persuade the governor to fall in line with the President’s Thanksgiving proclamation is de veloping. ZEBULON, N. C., FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 1940 Nearly 800 children answered the call of Wakelon’s bell on Wed nesday morning. Os these 280 went to the high school building and 500 to the grammar school. A facudty meeting on Tuesday had prepared the w’ay for opening day and each teacher had clearly in mind the procedure to be fol lowed for each student, from the tiny maiden who insisted that there was no use of her staying in the first grade room because she could neither read nor write to the seniors, whose new dignity was slightly mixed with other emotions. Wakelon does not have to wait to get started. Supt. Moser, when asked by the RECORD about the opening, said he is proud of the seriousness of purpose and determination to study already manifested by students, and is pleased with the outlook for the year. “I am glad to state,” he con tinued, “that the old teachers are most hopeful about those who are here for the first time. These newcomers show a willingness and ability that speak well for the future.” It is regretted that Miss Ada Lee Sitton could not be present for the first day of school. Her sister is critically HI. Miss Lou ella Allen is supplying until Miss Sitton’s arrival. Death Notice STANLEY SHORR Deep regret and surprise were felt here on Saturday when a message was received telling of the death of Stanley Shorr, loca merchant, in a Baltimore hospi tal. Mr. Shorr was known to have been ill, but none had real ized his condition was so serious. Mr. Shorr was buried in Balti more on Sunday. His brothers at tended the service, but Mrs. Shorr was unable to make the trip. She is now ill at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Shorr in Ra leigh. The two small sons are there also until further plans can be made. Mrs. J. C. Puryear Funeral services for Mrs. J. (J. Puryear, 90, who died at Raleigh hospital Friday A. M., were held at 4 o’clock Sunday afternoon at Ebenezer Church in Chatham County, with burial in the church cemetery. The Rev. J. C. Rich ards, pastor, officiated. Mrs. Puryear was a native resi dent of Chatham County. She is survived by one son, J. H. Pur year, of South Boston, Va.; two grandchildren, Mrs. J. D. Smith and T. D. Puryear of Raleigh, and several great-grandchildren. BASEBALL TODAY 3:30 P. M. BAILEY Vs.

These boys had made such remarkable records that the Ro tary wanted to show appreciation for such playing. Possibly a large part of the credit is due the man ager, Roy Barnes, who used local talent in putting Zebulon on top. This goes to show that we have opportunities and talent around us that is at times neglected. Prof. Moser complimented the boys for their hard playing. He said athletics has its place in a boy’s life. Often you can see character exhibited in a game which in turn makes the game interesting. Foster Finch, Vance Brown and Albert Medlin paid the boys com pliments for their record. They told of experience in past years with hired players and the money that had been spent trying to put Zebulon on the map. The Rotary tried to make the boys feel that they were behind them and promised loyalty to the end of the ball season. FOR DEFENSE PROGRAM Among contracts made in North Carolina for the defense program during the first half of August are $1,230.00 for shoe laces; more than $28,000 for burlap bags; nearly one and one-half millions for trucks; SIO,OOO for cigarettes. ■ Other items bring the total to $3,240,700 for the 15-day period.
