VOLUME XVII
This, That, &
The Other
By MRS. THEO B. DAVIS
Last week we employed a col
ored Kiri to help in the house. The
first day she was there I gave in
structions as fully as I thought
of them, then came to the office
and left her alone. At noon when
we went for dinner she said, “Mrs.
Davis, I’m 'fraid them butterbeans
won’t suit your taste. I forgot to
ask was you all salty-mouthed.”
I>ast Friday Helen Screws
showed me a furniture catalog
she had ordered. It was expen
sive stuff and up-to-date as pos
sible. I was surprised to find one
of the pictures was of a bed ex
actly like the one I grew up in—
or, rather, slept in nights. Not
only did it have the turned “spool’
pieces at head and foot, but the
spread shown was the identical
pattern of the one I liked best at
home. It was handwoven in wool
and was dark blue and red on a
white background. Helen prom
ised me the picture to send Mother
and let her see how stylish we
used to be without knowing it.
Over and over I’ve tried to make
biscuit dough and keep it in the
refrigerator until needed. But it
never did work out right. The
biscuit wouldn’t look nor taste as
they should after being chilled.
Yet, my sister has a habit of
keeping dough in her Frigidairc,
usually mixing biscuit only once
a day, though they have hot bread
for every meal. I studied over
the matter for some time and re
** membered that Annie kneads her
biscuit dough about like that for
rolls, while I mix mine quickly,
knead it hardly at all and rush the
biscuit into the oven. Mine don’t
taste one bit like Annie's, though,
if I do say it, we both are good
biscuit makers. Hers are fine
grained, mine are flaky. I have
begun trying to make the dough
stiffer and to knead it well before
putting it in the refrigerator; and
it made a lot of difference. But
I must let the chilled dough warm
up to the temperature of the room
before putting it in the oven to
bake, or it still goes wrong. And
mine aren’t yet as good as those
my sister makes.
In reading proof last week I
came across a report on public
morals made by a member of a
Baptist church in this state. He
spoke of “cigarette-smoking, card
playing, wet-voting, liquor-drink
ing, obscene-and-profane-language
using, lascivious-and-licentious-lit
erature-and-moving-picture - pat
ronizing, religious - duty - neglect
ing” parents and the need for
them to reform. He went on to say
that “in well-nigh every gathering
where the female sex is present,
from the age of the primary
g ade to grandmother-hood, there
is one incessant leg show.” And
he further asserted that “were its
example and influence less harm
ful to the young, the common
sight of cross-legged women mak
ing a futile gesture of pulling
down a skirt cut knee-high would
be ludicrous.”
That’s one man’s opinion, and
I gather he finds a great deal
wrong with a good many of us,
and, while he may be an extrem
ist, his kind are needd to help
Please Help Us
For some time, if not perma
nently, the RECORD will be print
ed on Wednesday of each week
instead of on Thursday, as was
the case until this fall. The ne
cessity of arranging the shop
schedule so as to leave some days
free for other than newspaper
work caused the change.
I’lcase cooperate in this. If we
believed it would in any wise les
sen the value of the paper to sub
scribers, some way would be man
aged to print on Thursday still.
But the RECORD’S going out on
Thursday should mean more time
for week-end specials to bring re
sults. Try it and see.
We are forced to emphasize the
statement that copy must be in
by Tuesday night at the latest.
Only emergencies or special ar
rangement for a given space will
assure publication of matter re
ceived after this time.
At present we are printing four
newspapers between Tuesday at
noon and Friday morning. Only
a little over two days and three
nights for all four. And the nignts
are most certainly included when
any of the copy is late.
Please help us all you can.
Roosevelt Wins;
Broughton Gov.
With the state’s thirteen elec
toral votes conceded to Roosevelt
and with a ratio of more thar.
three to one for the Democratic
ticket. North Carolina has over
whelmingly affirmed faith in the
present administration and a de
sire for its continuance. Wake
County went more than seven to
one for Roosevelt, though Will
kie’s showing of 2,572 affirms the
convictions of some citizens.
Broughton had more than three
times as many votes as were given
McNeill for governor of the state,
judging by reports on Wednesday
morning. Returns are incomplete
at this time.
CAMPAIGNING MONDAY
With blaring noise of band and
loud speaker a truck with some
accompanying cars was in Zebu
lofi Monday inviting all Demo
crats to attend a last-minute rally
at Wake County Courthouse that
night. A fair-sized crowd gath
ered and listened for a time to
the speech-making, but there was
no marked interest shown. It may
be those who passed or stopped
already had made up their minds,
or it may be they were indifferent.

Zebulon Men Picked in First Draft;
May Enter for Year’s Training
Rotary Club
The Zebulon Rotary Club held
its 40th consecutive 100 per cent
j meeting last Friday. We are proud
of our record. One year ago there
would have been a question in our
minds whether we could make it.
This helps prove that folks can
do what they want, if they want
to bad enough, even in a Rotary
Club.
Boh Sawyer had the program.
He had for his speaker Charles
Allen, head of Boy Scout work
here. Charles’ heart and soul are
in this work. The work that he
has done already will live after
we are gone. He spoke of the
needs of the under-privileged boys
and that some are not receiving
advantages thev are entitled to.
He made a strong appeal. Other
members made favorable talks on
the subject.
The scouts are building a log
cabin on the lot with the Woman’s
Club building. It will be used as
a meeting place. Dr. Smith from
Wendell was a welcome visitor.
EVENING CLASS MEETING
NOVEMBER 12
The second in the series of even
ing class meetings being held at
Wakelon School in the agriculture
building will be next Tuesday
night, November 12th. This meet
ing is being sponsored by the Jun
ior Chamber of Commerce of Zeb
uon.
Plans were considered in the
early fall season towards getting
for the Zebulon community a po
tato curing house. Consideration
was given to the fact that our
farmers have made no effort tc
produce a marketable potato. Witii
this in mind, it was decided to
begin the potato problem from the
production side of the question,
with the hopes that the farmers
could learn how to grow a potato
that filled the needs of the market.
The meeting on November 12 is
the first of our efforts.
Mr. Watson, Extension speaker
from State College, will be pres
ent, and will be assisted by a mar
keting specialist, who will discuss
the possibilities of organizing a
cooperative farmers marketing
agency. Film will be shown to il
lustrate the approved practices
for the production of sweet pota
toes.
All farmers are urged to attend
the meeting at the Wakelon agri
culture building, November 12, at
7 ; 30 o’clock
