V || If f 1 1 P « B k ©be Zebulnn ißemrii Volume XVII This, That, & The Other By MRS. THEO B. DAVIS By this time, even if you are no better housekeeper than I, you have probably taken down all the Christmas decorations, packed away all fancy boxes that can be used again, wadded up and burned all tissue paper wrappings. You have taken down old calendars and hung new ones, eaten the very last of the fruit cake and have begun in earnest on the canned fruit and vegetables put up last summer. In other words you are about ready really to enjoy Christmas. Enjoy it in memory is what 1 mean. You will find your happiness in celebration or reunion renewed and intensified by recalling scenes and conversations that passed too quickly for you to taste their full flavor at the time. You can see again the sweetness of the chil dren’s smiles, recall the beauty of a table set with the best in the house and bearing the special menu for the special occasion. And you don’t have to hurry but may remember at leisure and at length. If there is ont message above others that I shou d like to pass on to younger generations it is to be careful about laying up memories, whatever kind th< y are. 1 hat old song, “The Rosary,’’ was not wrong in saying, “O memories that bless and burn,” though I should put it “bless or l urn.” For oniy those bless that are clean when put away, that are pure and wholesome. The oihers bum and hurt as long a sws live. But we cannot rid ourselves of them once they are a part ol us. In a daily pape • I read of a school that has a private observa tion room into whi< h parents may go and, unseen by their children, observe how the ’ittle dears act when away from the parental sight and voice. The article went on to say this was frequently somewhat surprising to those who felt that they knew their children like a book, and who had not dreamed they would act as they did when with contemporaries. No doubt that is true. But if they’d only fix a place where we grown-ups could see how we act when not thinking of being observed, it might be even more surprising. Sometimes I wonder if drunk ards feel about liquor as I do about scolding. Although fully convinced that a quarrelsome woman is one of the pests of the earth, there are times when combinations of cir cumstances make me feel that I’ll die that minute if I don’t start tell ing how things are and how they ought to be. All the while I know that I’m wasting time and temper, irritating others and wearing my self out to no purpose; and that my hearers are pretty sure to like me less after the outburst than before. Do drinkers have such an urge toward liquor, knowing that they will make spectacles of themselves and may do what they’ll regret all the rest of their lives? All right, then brothers; you have my sym pathy; you your battle vrhile I fight mine. LOCAL BOY TO BE GUEST ARTIST WITH SYMPHONY SOCIETY Donald Pippin, second son of the R. E. Pippins, now 14 years old, will be a guest artist when the Symphony Society of Rich mond gives the second in a series of three concerts on January 20. Dr. Hans Kindler will be conduc tor. Many reservations for the Jan uary concert are being made by schools and colleges throughout the area around Richmond. Donald Pippin played before the Richmond Woman’s Club last year and won much praise. He is said by critics to be “extraordi nary not only in technical accom plishment hut in the sound musi cianship behind it; in assurance and poise; in the intellectual grasp and purposeful drive of his playing—qualities rarely found in so young a musician.” He is the youngest pianist to perform with an organization of the rank of the National Symphony. While highly gratifying to rela tives and friends here, Donald's success is no surprise, having been confidently expected hv those who knew his ability when he was in Wakelon school. Among those who will attend the concert on January 20 is Don aid’s grandfather, C. E. Ppinin. Rotary Zebulon Rotarians held their 49th consecutive 100 per cent meeting’ on January 3, 1941. Rob ert Daniel Massey was absent but is making up his attendance. Al bert Medlin had the program, pri4> senting a quartette of colored boys who sang their own songs in their own style. They enter tained us well. The speaker was Mallie Todd of Wendell. His subject was: “Why the Farm Boy Leaves the Farm.” Mallie stated that he had asked almost everyone who came in the bank on Friday this question and everyone gave a different answer. His own belief is that the low in come of farms is why so many boys leave. He said that the aver age farmer in North Carolina re ceived $163.00. In the West and Northwest over $200.00. In the North the income was over S3OO. Mallie stated that we should be growing livestock and crops that would bring a monthly income. Our county agent tells us not to plant much crop. We should have someone to tell us how to plant more and better crops. We have the land and it should be yielding something all the time. Mallie spoke in business terms about farming conditions. Claud Ferguson of Raleigh and Dr. Smith of Wendell were visi tors. BEAUTIFUL CALENDAR As has been the case in other years, the most beautiful calendar to come to our office is the one gotten up by Albert Bardin, com mercial photographer, Steams En graving Co. and Bynum Printing Co., all of Raleigh. On heavy su per-calendered paper, are twelve scenes taken in North Carolina, each worthy of being framed. The pages have the finish and look of photographs. They add to one’s knowledge of the state as well as help in a predation of its many at tractions. ! A se ZEBULON, N.

WAKEFIELD BAPTIST CHURCH Services for Sunday, January 12: 10 a. m.. Sunday school, Mr. D. D. Chamblee, superintendent. 11 a. m., worship. Sermon topic, “Today’s Demands Upon Christi anity.” Christianity is not ,as many seem to think, dead or dy ing, and Christianity will not die, but certain conceptions of the Christian way of life that have held throughout the years cannot meet the tests of today.

The applica tion is to be considered this w r eek. One proposed line will be about 35 mile slong and will start from Zebulon going into O’Nealls Town ship and into the Archer Lodge section . PERMIT WANTED ZEBULON FIREMEN HAMPERED BY OLD EQUIPMENT Fire Engine Fails To Respond To Efforts Os Firemen The sound of a fire alarm early Tuesday afternoon startled and excited many in Zebulon. Numer ous cars dashed off in the direc tion of a cloud of smoke on “Red Line,” in the Negro section of town. Soon they returned report ing the flames under control with not very much damage done. Meanwhile the local fire de partment was having troubles of its own. The aged and decrepit engine truck failed to thrill to the occasion, and was even crankier than the crank energetically used by a fireman. In their hurry and anxiety the men started pushing the truck and were later helped in this by one of their number w 7 ho brought his car and did more pushing. Several remarks were made concerning the progress of the fire fgihters, whose faces were red with exertion—and per haps with emotion. Once more was glaringly dem onstrated the inefficiency and in adequacy of Zebulon’s equipment for quelling fires. Not men, but apparatus is the big need at pres ent; the town’s citizens are eager to help when danger threatens. The wonder is that they keep on trying with the little they have to fight with. 6.065 LICENSES REVOKED: WAKE COUNTY HAS 232 In 1940 there were 6,065 drivers of cars in this state who had li censes revoked. Os this number Wake County had 232; Johnston hed 100; Franklin 19; Nash 68. Os the total revocations 5253 were for drunken driving, leaving 812 for all other causes in the state as a whole. For driving as ter license was revoked 159 had added penalties. There were 26 who lost their licenses for failing to stop after having hit a person with the car, and 22 more who w ? ere adjudged to have killed others because of their driving. Two were found to be drug ad dicts and were forbidden to drive. Three w r ere found to have sworn falsely in applying for license. And 100 lost their license because of stealing automobiles. WAKELON MEETS Friday night at 7:30 the Wake lon Bulldogs will meet Knightdale in a twin bill. Coach Alexander’s boys are ex pecting to win this game, whirh is their first Wake County Con ference game. Knightdale sports a fast quintet and the game prom ises to be good. The girls from Wakelon play in the preliminary. This will be the girls’ first conference game. The starting line up is not known at the present time The Bulldogs, states Coach Al exander, are vastly improved and should give a much better exhibi tion than they gave before the Christmas holidays. And ever near, though unseen, The great, immortal spirits tread; For all the boundless universe Is life—there are no dead. When in Rome do as Romans ought to do. Jaycees In line with similar presenta tions being made by Junior Cham bers of Commerce throughout the nation, the Zebulon Junior Cham ber of Commerce will present a distinguished service award key to Zebulon’s outstanding young man at its .Founder’s Day ban quet to be held January 22. Selec tion of the recipient is being made by a committee of leading citi zens and the award is to be pre sented after approval of the com mittee's nominee by the United States Junior Chamber of Com merce, which affords the recogni tion through the local organiza tion, an affiliated member of the national group. Selection is being made on the basis of the recipi ents’ contributions to the welfare of the community in the past twelve months. The winner need not be a member of the local Junior Chamber of Commerce. The United States Junior Chamber of Commerce annu&lly presents a similar award to the young man who has effected the most significant contribution to the welfare of the nation. A com mittee of important national lead ers last year conferred the na tional award on Governor Harold Stassen, of Minnesota, 32 years of age. Previous winners include Judge James V. Allred of Texas, Walt Disne> of Hollywood, Lyle Belsley of Chicago, Civil Service reform leader, and Franklin Kreml of Evanston, Illinois, traffic safe ty expert. Pointing out the significance of the honor, Committee Chairman Geo. J. Griffin of the local organ ization stated: “The Zebulon Jun ior Chamber of Commerce is pri marily interested in making this award because it affords recogni tion to young men who have made worthy contributions to the com munity at an early stage of life and along those lines of civic en deavor to which our organization is dedicated.” RESOLUTION BY BOARD OF EDUCATION Since the last meeting of this board, Millard B. Chamblee, for twenty one years and eight months a member thereof, has been called to his reward. In his death Wsike County loses a valuable and public-spirited cit izen, and this board a very effi cient member. During his long term of service his actions were ! always controlled by the desire to j do only those things that would I be to the best interest of all the children of Wake County. His ac-j tion in no case was influenced by local or selfish interests. In all matters his judgment was found to be wise, and his opinion was of great value to this board. We feel deeply our loss, and make this minute in our records of our ap preciation of association with him! and the privilege of working with! a real man. To his family we extend ouru sympathy, -and grieve with them! in their loss. The memory of hil useful life is a rich legacy. In all hours of gloom comes this fact! “Our Father loves and cares fol us, and He can make no misfl takes.” tl Redbirds do not reach their full beautv for at least a year, thl females never being as beautiful as the adult males. | NUMBER 25
