. Jaycees, Rotarians to Play Return Softball Game Next Wednesday COTTON GROWERS, GET YOUR EQUITIES VOLUME XVIII. I ‘ This, That, 6* the Other * By MRS. THEO. B- DAVIS . f ===== At our house we like ham' burger sanJwiches; and not long ago when I went to make them tor supper there were no bread crumbs. (I generally add a cup ful of crumbs soaked in milk to about one and one-fourth pounds of meat). Looking around for a substitute for crumbs, I saw some green corn and scraped the pulp out of two ears after splitting the ™ grains. This was mixed with the seasoned meat, which was then made into flat cakes and quickly browned. We lilted it better than when bread is used. * * * One of the bset desserts I ever ate is chilled cantaloupe with sliced peaches inside. Slice and sugar the peaches some time be . fore they are needed and chill them, too. You needn’t bother to £ pick out small melons for serving; most anybody can eat a big half filled as nearly full of peaches as you can afford. If you want to be extra good to the family, mix pineapple with the peaches before putting them into the halved mel ons. * * * Os course there’s neither use . nor sense in complaining about *jk weather; this is merely a small wail concerning dampness in the * house. One must have some air, no matter how wet; and that has meant much moisture lately Every drawer in the house has acted contrary. Some are stuck vand won’t come open; some are jkartly open and won’t shut. The K effect is rather peculiar when viewed with a housekeeping eye, and all will be glad when onc< more those compartments slide as they’re supposed to. * * * I A stylish columnist in a daily papre remarked last week that f % since patriotism demands that we r [live or leave aluminum forth government’s use, we must - Kef substitutes. With a su*h she add* d that “copper and chromium are also needed’’; but brightened up .to remind us that vve can still . 'noose “enamel, crockery ware or glass” when cooking the family meals. We surely can. And it namel, crockery or glass arc not forthcoming, we can use iron Yea, verily, sisters! » If you’ve never tried it, just get hold of an iron teakettle, try mg pan, and pot and see what they are able to do for you and your cooking. Iron muffin rings as * used by my sister, turn out the best muffins I ever ate. A griddle j or “bread hoe” is what you need for everyday corn bread and corn bread baked in those cob-pattern pans is elevated to company food What they call a Dutch oven is a flat-botomed, straight sided deep ► pan with iron cover. It is the best thing known for pot roasts am. i deep frying. • Iron is not notional or temper f amental. Use it, abuse it, forg tit set it aside to be brought out later, scrubbed and put back int< service. It will last your life-time and may be handed down for your granddaughter either to cook in or to use as ornaments in her modern hardwood-floored cabin , home with an electric range in the kitchen. Don’t worry yet You’ll not have to stop feeding I* your husband and children sot lack of utensils. * * * Last Friday Bobby and Linda Bridgers came over to pick up some cooking apples I had told their mother to send for. I went out to show them which tree to visit. It was a Delicious, and the apples are not nearly ripe enough , to eat, though fine for cooking. They are of good size and both Bobby and Linda thought one from the tree would be eatable. I explained that only those that fell off were to be used, leaving the ( Continued on back page.)

Such fruit is grown thoughout the state; much is marketed around Zebulon. Mr. Black will aid peach growers with their crops, if desired. Zebuion Woman Pens Army Song “Kmilf's for tho Soldier Hoy” Is Title of Tune A new song, “'Smile for the Soldier Boy”, has been written by I Mrs. F.lla Boyette of Zebuion, formerly ot Middlesex. Music for the words was composed by M A. Lee and the piece is on sale in sheet form. Records are prom ised at an early date. Words of the song follow: Smile For The Soldier Boy He is a friend of yours, he is a friend of mine, He is a soldier boy, so straight and strong and fine. Smile for the soldier boys, for them one and all; Remember they were the first to answer the country s call Smile for the soldier boy in the U. S. A. Smile for the soldier boy, H !p him in every way Smile for the soldier boy, show him that we care; Smile for the soldier boy. Smile at them everywhere. We’ll work with our hands, we'll fight side by side every day; We'll fight with our might, we’l! stay with a smilu all the* way. Smile for the soldier boy, he 11 be brave and strong; Smile for the soldier boy, he’ll lead the way \<mh a song Correction The library will be open on Mondays and Fridays each week instead of Wednesdays and Fridays, as stated in last week’s Record. Big Baby Father Celebrates the Fourth On July 4th a 1 Impound boy arrived at the home of J. L. Ray of Pilot community to make his permanent home. This is the third addition to Mr. Ray’s family, the others being a boy and a girl. ZEBULON, NORTH CAROLINA, FRIDAY JULY 25, 1911 Oil Fire at Depot Is Extinguished Lots of Smoke, Small Fire, No Damage Result The fire alarm on Tuesday aft ernoon caused a rush of hearers to the Norfolk-Southern station from near which a huge volume of smoke was pouring. It was found that in some unknown way a large tank of paving material had caught fire, the asphalt con tained in it making the dense smoke. The road-paving company keeps materials on the vacant lot just south of the railway station, truck* starting from there. Very little damage was done The firemen were present in a short time and the flames were extinguished Water available be fore the hose was in use was suf fieient to keep the walls of the station from igniting.

Worn cooking utensils may be used, anything made of aluminum being wanted. Among items listed are: pots, pans, pieces of radio, shakers, trays, cups, pot lids, plates, etc. Search the premises You may not feel able to dispose of a new piece of equipmnt, but you might at least put in the leaky pan or the dented ccxilcr that is worth very little or nothing to you and may help in preparing for defense. Local civic organizations are co operating with the state and na tion in the aluminum drive. With the hearty endorsement of Mayor Privctte the chairman, R. D Massey, announces that the house to house drive is set for July 24- 27. Boy Scouts will assist in the collection of utensils.

Anyone hav ing aluminum and wanting it called for need only notify R. D Massey or a scout leader. For the benefit of those willing to contribute, but who may live outside Zebulon. containers are to be placed near the drug store and at Wakelon Theater. All alumin um articles brought to town may be placed in one of these and will be taken in charge by the com mittee for this work.

They have made many friends outside the congregations of the churches comprising the field, as well as among the mem b rship, all of whom will greatly miss these workers. Notary Club Has Perfect Meeting Zebulon Rotary Club held its 76th consecutive hundred per cent meeting on July 18. All members were present but Irby Gill. Even though Irby is an attorney at law he knows he can’t argue out of. making up his attendance. Wilson Braswell had the pro gram. He had a group of ques tions that he asked each member to sec how much they knew about the Bible, geography and the present world’s war, and charac ters in the comic pictures. These questions were good and all should have known them, hut we did not, which caused a great deal of mer riment. How Wilson got these questions and answers we do not know. We have suspicions that his madam must have had some thing to do with it. Wilson pro- . gram was very, very intersting, j There were no visitors. COTTON GROWERS, GET YOUR EQUITIES NUMBER 1 Economic Highlights According to most commenta tors, it is the belief of the Presi dent that this country can take many a belligerent step without formally becoming a participant in war Judging by recent German statements, that belief seems to be well grounded. Hitler’s spokesmen denounce the United States and its foreign policy, hut they still say that Germany will not be forced into declaring war on us, by overt acts.’ In short, Hitler’s legions are busy enough now with out taking on a new foe. If Hitler had wished, he could obviously have construed the U. S. military occupation of Iceland as an act of war. Iceland is less than a thousand miles from Ger many, and couli) be developed in to a major air base for use against the Reich. Whether or not Ice land is actually a part of the Western Hemisphere is a highly debatable question. The little island lies across the 20th meridian, which is generally considered the dividing line so the two hemis pheres. Two-thirds of the country is east of that line. However, the one-third which is west of the line includes Reykjavick, the only large Icelandic city and port. The reasons for occupying Ice land are clear enough. First, the American occupation has released numbers of Empire troops for ser vice elsewhere the hulk of them will probably be sent to Africa, where Britain has just won a de cisive victory over France, and where there are rumors of Ger man action to pull Vichy’s well burnt chestnuts out of the fire. Second, the American occupa tion of Iceland makes it possible for us to patrol and dominate the greater part of the Atlantic ocean. Thus, British mcn-of-war need only to protect the convoys from Iceland to English ports, which involves a distance of about 700 miles. Hurd, the American occupation of Iceland has made it clear to the world that, as the President said, we will recognize no fixed geographical boundaries in carry ing out our policy of protecting i his hemisphere from aggressors. It is the government’s position that the airplane has made all pre j vious ideas of hemispheric defense j more or less obsolete, and that our military outposts must be far flung indeed. Fourth, the American occupa tion of Iceland may have been de signed as a move to pave the way for future occupation of other j foreign possessions in our part of J the world, notably Dakar, in French Africa, and the strategic Cape Verde Islands. Theoretically, our navy is not convoying British shipping. It is simply patrolling the Atlantic. In actuality, many authorities believe, there is little difference between a convoy and a patrol. It has been announced that an American destroyer dropped depth charges over a German submarine. And American fighting ships are at sea now, warning the British when ever they come on a Nazi raider. The American navy, in other words, is pretty much in the war. Furthermore, American aid, though many still feel that it is not great enough, is becoming a real factor in the conflict. Some of the great bombers which have been blasting at German-occupied areas on the continent, are of American make. British dreams of air equality and eventual air su periority have not yet been rea lized, but they are coming closer to actuality. And at this time, with a large part of the German strength mobilized in the Eastern front, British power, relatively speaking, is undoubtedly greater by far than in the past. The recent statement by a British general to the effect that American manpower will be even- * ( Continued on back page.)
