A!UJP JEPUUUttt VXttOVO Volume XVII This, That, & The Other By MRS. THEO B. DAVIS It is (food to be able to work; but to be able to find pleasure in work is still better. And last week’s duties brought me enjoy ment I had not expected. I was reading proof on the his tory of the Three Forks Associa tion and the churches which be long to it. They are in Watauga County, and, in case your knowl edge of geography is as hazy es mine, Watauga borders on Ten nessee. The Three Forks Associa tion held a centennial meeting last August with fitting exercises to celebrate the hundredth year of its work. One feature was a pageant in which Neil Hartley, former Wakelon teacher, had a prominent part. This community remembers Mr. Hartley’s interest in dramatics. I learned that the Three Forks was organized after the Philadel phia (Pennsylvania) Association had by request sent a minister to the settlements along the Yadkin River. He made the trip on horse back and it took six weeks. This was in 1756. The work developed until several associations had been organized by 1840. Among others who have be longed to this association are Smith Hagaman, supt. of the Baptist Hospital at Winston- Salem, for ten years moderator of the Three Forks after having been clerk for eighteen years; and I. G. Gheer. general manager of the. Baptist Orphanage, who was moderator of the association for five years. In the early days of the church es of the Three Forks there was one having several preachers on its roll of members. It was de cided that every preacher belong ing to the church be called a pr,stor; and they were asked to arrange for at least one to be on hand once a month to fill the pul pit on preaching day. (Seems as if they might have had sermons oftener, with so many pastors.) Another church was built on the bank of a stream and a flood carried it away. At the time for the next meeting the congrega tion met under an apple tree and made plans for rebuilding—prob ably farther from the river. A third church was built with out any way of heating. On spe cially cold days a large fire was made outdoors a little way from the church and as members got too cold to endure it any longer they would leave the house and go to stand for a while by the fire. The records do not say how the preacher made out; but he may have “put on the rousements” till exercise kept him warm enough . Much has been done in the past in the Three Forks and much is still being done. N. M. Greene, father of the present associational clerk, is associational missionary. Last year he spent 35 weeks in revival meetings, and visited in more than 1200 homes. He is a handsome gentleman of 65 and" there is no need to say he is active. to worxers in aeiense industries. 6. Essential medical materials be assured to meet demands in i event supply i s cut off. Secretary of War Stimson later told a press conference he had authorized appointment of a board i Rotary The Zebulon Rotary held its 52nd consecutive 100 per cent meeting last Friday night, Janu ary 24. Albert Medlin was absent but has made up his attendance. Robert Daniel Massey b?d the program, with Representative Archie Allen and Thomas Banks, secretary to the Governor, as speakers. As the teachers were invited guests, Mr. Allen, the speaker of the evening, used as his subject “Education.” Mr. Allen said the legislature is interested in getting a nine-months school. This will take about $3,000,000. The legislature is also interested in paying the teachers a pension after they have taught so many years. As the legislature had only been in session for a short time no one knows what will be done. Miss Hilda Lewis sang a solo. Also Billy Green. Foster Finch welcomed the teachers, and Mrs. Thompson re sponded, saying the teachers al ways looked forward to their an nual invitation to the Rotary Club. Charles Allen stated that the logs and brick had been hauled for the Boy Scout clubhouse, and work would begin soon. Percy Lewis of Wendell was a welcome visitor. The Inaugural The inauguration of President Roosevelt and Vice-President Wal lace was a grand affair, as you realized on January 20. There were never grander grandstands; as beautiful avenues and streets, richer automobiles, nor a more dignified parade. It is a good thing that these festivities, with all their magnifi cent tinsel and regalia, and gala, grand and important social events, do not happen oftener than every four years, because after seeing a number of the quadrennial shows the old-timers think of them as “victory parades.” The principal characters take the oath of office, and the President makes a great speech to which the vis ible audience agrees, and the in visible audience turns loose the ancient heritage of sentiment that everybody must stand behind the newly-installed President even when it is a third term. Natur ally ,he is cheered as a victor, and heaped with genuine good wishes for a successful term. It’s the same idea as praying for all the good things and suc cesses that you want for your self, with instructions for prompt and safe deliveries. So, “’Rah for Roosevelt and Wallace,” whose victory has been so generously celebrated in the inaugural. Mr. Clyde Greene, who is super vising the printing of the min utes and appended history of his association', was in our place last week. He is a hardware merchant, but he also knows how to get up copy better than almost anyone we have done work for. I had stood in awe of him for several years, and nobody knows what a comfort it was when he forgot his brief case and left it in my little office. Even that small lapse from perfect efficiency win com fort me as I dash about for getting or neglecting dozens of things. Each Saturday P. M. 5 Gals.

A brief business session was conducted by Jocelyn House, vice president, during which time the class elected Mary Lacy Palmer. Geraldine Parker and Jocelyn House to serve as a personal ser vice committee. Since the class, as a whole, enjoyed having Polly annas last year, it was unani mously decided that they would follow this plan for a while. Immediately after all the busi ness was transacted, Mrs. B. F. Boone gave an interesting talk on her trip to New Orleans, Louisi ana and El Paso, Texas, as well as other points of interest throughout the two states. Blanche Bryant, Ruby Martin and Margaret Tharrington had charge of entertainment. They presented several games, etc., which were thoroughly enjoyed.' M*rs. Ann Jackson was a wel come visitor. The hostess, assisted by Mrs. Donald Stallings, served delicious refreshments to those present. CLASS MEETING The Senior Fidelis Class of the Baptist Sunday school will meet next Monday night in the home of Mrs. R. H. Jenkins, with Mes dames G. J. Griffin and Graham Conn associate hostesses. There will be be a program of enter tainment following thjfe business session and it is hoped that all members may attend. The Quiz Kids of radio fame answer ninety per cent of the questions asked them. Except for their unusual intelligence they are normal children. U. S. And The European War Below is a statement by Josiah W. Bailey, United States Senator, on his attitude toward our gov ernment and the European war situation. He says: The policy of our Government with respect to the war in Europe, and in view of complications in the Orient, appears to be as fol lows: 1. It is our purpose to render full aid to Great Britain and other countries allied with her in resisting the aggressions of the totalitarian powers. 2. The limitations upon this aid are: (a) The preservation of our own security. (b) A hope that we may escape involvement as an actual belliger ent. (c) We do not intend to send ' our soldiers to fight in any Old World country. 3. In order that we may render aid promptly and intelligently to Great Britain, we are about to give the President extraordinary powers, since matters of this sort cannot be handled as promptly as is necessary by the Congress. It is not intended that those powers shall be permanent, but shall ex pire whenever the necessity for them passes. The President has declared that he does not intend to have our ships used for pur poses of convoy of ships to Great Britain or ports of other belliger ents and that he does not intend to transfer to Great Britain, or any other country, any important part of our Navy. He has said repeat edly that this country will not be taken into the war, meaning by this that he will do nothing to take it into the war as a belliger ent. Limitations in line with the foregoing are likely to be enacted. It is important to this country that the British Empire and Com monwealth of Nations shell not be overwhelmed, and it is important that the British Navy shall not pass into the hands of any other nation. In the final analysis, come what may, we may reasonably hope to prevent by this course the control of the seas passing to the powers that would isolate this country in event they should get such control, and which countries cannot be trusted not to attack us if they should conceive it to be to their interest so to do. In other words, if control of the seas can be preserved as in the present hands which control it, that is the British and the United States fleets, we will be relatively safe in any evert. Since there are many inquiries as to my position, I am issuing this statement in order that *a.ll may know that I am sustaining the policy of our Government as above outlined. I deplore the cost, the risk and the sacrifices entailed, but they seem to me to be neces sary to the security and welfare of the people of the United States. Having stated my position, let me add that I shall be utterly tolerant of those who differ with men and give appropriate consid eration to their representations. My decision, as above set out, has been reached not suddenly, but after prolonged consideration. Improvement in the domestic demand for farm products is be coming increasingly apparent as the defense program speeds up. THE RAILROAD IS THE MOST DEPENDABLE HIGH WAY SERVING YOUR COMMUNITY. H. E. Mann, Agent Zebulon, N-. C. Phone ** ******* *** « — —r I ■mmmmm i RECOGNITION OF WILLKIE The Republicans spoke bitterly of Wendell Willkie’s original statement and announcement eon c rning his trip to England. But when he “got the glad Wind,” and words of praise from Presi dent and Mrs. Roosevelt, things be gan to brighten up for Wendell. Republican leaders in Washington decided to continue him in the fa miliar role as a “great leader.” AUTO COLLISION A collision between automobiles driven by Clarence Strickland of near Zebulon and Leon Thompson of Raleigh and Zebulon occurred on Thursday evening, on the high way in front of the C. V. Whitley home. Both cars were damaged but fortunately neither driver was injured. They were alone in their cars at the time of the accident. Mr. Strickland was on his way out of town and Mr. Thompson was coming home from Raleigh. For Humanity Paul de Kruif, noted bacteriolo gist, in an article in Reader’s Di gest, draws attention to the efforts of Dr. Tom Spies in fighting pel lagra and other deficiency diseas es, at the Hillman Hospital in Birmingham, Alabama. Ten years ago, Dr. Spies, shocked by the high death rate of chronic famine victims, began h ; s work. Quietly he set out to find why “recom mended diets” were not enough to save the lives of persons dying of starvation. What he found was a new gateway to a better civiliza tion! Out of 1,729 victims of vari ous forms of chronic famine treated at Hillman last year, not one died, whereas a few years ago chemical starvation killed nearly 50 percent of those hospitalized. Through chemistry, Dr. Spies has done more than discover quick, positive cures for pellagra and other forms of chronic fam ine. He has clearly established the fact that laziness, nervous disor ders, skin diseases, intestinal ail ments, etc., are also often due to chemical deficiency, and in the course of his work he has identi fied those deficiencies and learned how to restore the required chem icals to the system.
