A DUTY ANI) A PRIVILEGE VOLUME XVII. This, That, €r the Other By MRS. THEO. B- DAVIS Did you know that brown thrash ers sing very much like mocking birds? At least, some of them do, and I didn’t learn it until last week. The oldest grandson showed me the thrasher when I heard the song and was looking for a mocker; and I found Jack was right when he said the brown bird was the singer. One at a time we con vinced the family. I tried to think the mocker’s song is more liquid and mellow in tone, but must ad mit that 1 can’t always tell the dif ference. I knew mockingbirds and thrash ers are close kin, though the for mer is smaller than the latter. And Dr. Coltrane says the singing thrasher is smaller than the thrasher that does not sing—but does scold. He is most probably right as he has known for a good while that some of them sing like the mockers. Mr. Webster defines co-opera tion as working together for a common end or result- Today it is one of the words in most frequent use, though some of us seem hard ly to realize that co-operation and corporation are two distinctly dif ferent words. We are besought on every, side and by various and va rying persons to co-operate fully in this enterprise and that under taking. And, as happens with dis couraging frequency in other things, there is danger of the meaning being twisted from its or igin. There may be exceptions, but observation has proven to my own satisfaction, or dissatisfaction, that those who plead loudest for co-op eiation and unity of purpose mean for the rest of us to achieve this result by accepting their ideas and opinions. They see their pl»ns as imperatives and view all ot'ilfer actions as in the subjunctive mood. I’m becoming doubtful of those who blatantly beg for one mind in us; it usually means “Come on, let’s all cooperate by doing what I want.” The voice crying in the wilderness frequent ly says, “Prepare ye my way; make my paths straight.” And the ones most frequently hurt by lack of consideration are those who go their way without consulting others or deferring to any judgment save their own; who fail to understand that friends and neighbors may have plans also. This thing called cooperation has more than one angle. If you can’t give it, don’t expect it in full- Young Walker Unusual sight in Zebulon last week w'as a very small girl stroll ing casually along the aisles of Antone’s Dept. Store, occasion aly stopping to look with interest into a showcase. This young lady was Jean Car roll Blackmon. She lives at Pilot, her father being a member of the highway force, coming here fiom Alabama. Jean is nine months old and has ! been walkir 4 for a month. And that means walking, not stagger ing along holding to a helping hand. No error this time; the Record reporter checked names and dates with Jean’s mother. The three Blackmon sons have, during the school year attended schools in Georgia, Alabama and this state.

Turnage, who travels con siderably over Eastern Carolina selling Chevrolet automobiles for the J. and M. Chevrolet Co., of Zebulon, was showing us a few days ago some plants pulled fiorn his tobacco beds. Thinking the first beds would be largely failures he sowed other:-. But the first shower! wonderful improvement with showers and warmer weather and he think- he. will have mor. plants than he’ll need- He has traveled over much of this section of the state and says there is going to be a scarcity of plants in most sections. Little blue mold has appeared thus far. Borrow trouble and pay off in worry. Sweet Potatoes For Zebulon There has been a movement to ward greater sweet potato pro duction in the Zebulon area. In Nashville there is a potato mar keting Association through which sweet potatoes may be marketed. I Following is a letter from 11. E Alphin, County Agent of Nash County: Mr. J. K. Sawyer, Sec’y.

Rotary Club Holds Meet The Zebulon Rotary Club held its 04th consecutive 100 per cent meeting April 18. Professor Moser had the program, his sub ject being “Philosophy.” He spoke on poets and their poems- He explained the expressions of the deepthinking poets and phi losophers of yesterday. Many of us had read and studied these po ems but the real meaning was not clear to us before. The program was very informing and a plea sure to us as he recited poetry from Tennyson, Browning, Gray, and others. Professor Moser seems to have been at his best- Mallie Todd and Bruce Mattox were welcome visitors from the Wendell Rotary Club. Supper will be served to the Zebulon Rotary Club next Friday by the Baptist Church at Middle sex. Picture for Poultry Unfair On last Sunday Mrs. W. L. Simp son took lur mother, Mrs. M. I). Terry to Wilson to Primitive Bap tist meeting. On their return in the late afternoon Mrs. Simpson dis coveied that a number of frying -ize chickens had disappeared from the poultry yard. However, she found a good-sized snap-shot of two men standing by a car. This had evidently been dropped in the activities incidental to the occas ion. Mrs. Simpson has showed the picture to several persons. She prizes it, not merely as a souve nir, but as a possible means of identification. Something has been said of having a cut made of the picture for printing in daily pap ers, but the owner of thechickens that went away prefers another mode of settlement. Any one who may be interested may see or write her. Miss Carter Gets Honor Role Miss Qertrude Carter, senior at Western Carolina Teachers Col lege, has been given a leading role in the spring play “You Can’t Take It With \ T ou,” sponsored by the Western Carolina Players.

Miss Carter was recently invited to join Alpha Phi Omega Dramat ics Fraternity- She Says she owes her success in dramatics to the excellent training received at Wakelon. the instructions contained in the i bulletin enclosed herewith, “Ap- ■ ' i : proved Practice for Sweet Pota to Growers.” m I It Is very important for the growers whom you have in mind to bed the potatoes, a good 1 -train of Porto Ricos, preferably ! certified, and tr< at them with | either Semesan Belle or Bichloride of Mercury The directors decided to handle potatoes for farmers in adjoining I counties with the understanding that they pay a non-resident membership due into the Associ ation of $5.00 at the beginning of the sweet potato year.

Bonds to Be On Sale Here The United States Defense Sav ings Bonds and Postal Savings Stamps will be placed on sale in the main Post Office at the open ing- of business on Thursday, May 1, as part of the national effort to make America impregnable. Postmaster M. J. Sexton an nounced today that plans are near ly completed for this community, along with thousands of others from coast to coast, to do its full part at the opening of the savings i program. i Postmaster General Frank C. Walker, in a letter to Postmasters throughout the country, said that the help of local postmasters would be “a real service to the country.” He transmitted the thanks of Sec retary of the Treasury Morgen thau for help local postmasters had already given in the sale of United States securities, and also thanks in advance “for co-opera tion in this new effort” The new Defense Savings Bond is similar to the familiar “Baby Bond,' of which more than five billion dollars worth have been bought by more than two and a half million Americans since 1936. A Defense Bond may be pur chased May 1, or thereafter, for $18.75. In ten years this bond will be worth $25.00. This is an in crease of 33 1-3 per cent, equal to an annual interest return of 2.9 per cent, compounded semi-annu ally. Any time after sixty days from the date of purchase, the bond may be redeemed for cash, in accordance with a table of re demption values printed on the face of the bond. To spread investments widely iu i America, a limit of $5,000 has been set on the amount to be bought by any one person in a year. The bonds are in denominations of $25, SSO, SIOO, SSOO, and SIOOO, and all are sold for 75 per cent of their maturity value. All mature in ten years. Tor larger investors who can purchase up to $50,000 worth of bonds a year, the Treasury De partngmt has issued two addition al kinds of Defense Savings Bonds, to be sold only through banks and by direct mail from Washington, D. C. hor the smaller investor who wants to buy on an easy payment plan, the post office will have a new series of Postal Savings Stamps, at 10c, 25c-, 50c, sl, and $5. Kach purchaser of any Savings Stamp higher than 10c will be giv en, free of charge, an attractive pocket album in which to paste his stamps until he has enough to buy a $25 bond or one of higher denomination. , Secretary Morgenthan said that even a boy or girl who saved 10c to buy a Savings Stamp would help the country. He added that “you can safeguard your own future, while helping the national defense, by buying United States Savings Bonds now.” TO IX)NATE TO THE BOY SCOUT HUT Local Church News __________________ Baptist Church Our services for Sunday, April 27, will be: 9:45, Sunday School.
