FOR VICTORY
Volume XVIII.
This. That, and
L the Other
1 By Mrs. Theo. B. Davis
Three men were earnestly dis
cussing the present world situation
and entered into a verbal triple
agreement that war has to come
for the United States and “the
sooner the better.”
I am not questioning their sin
cerity ,but could not help noting
that each of the three is beyond
draft age, yet not one has a son
old enough to be called.
On lasi Saturday afternoon a
small boy sat on the bench in front
of the City Case with a little dog
in his arms. Both were looking
with bright eyes at the changing
Mg scene before, them,
f Feeling sure that I had known
the child, I used the dog as a
means to opening conversation and
inquired what kind it was.
1“A short-tailed dog,” was the
answer.
jj. “But what breed?” I asked, and
again was told it was a short
tailed, the owner turning it end
for end so that I might see. He
jf. was right. It was. By that time 1
felt his own name might be,
4 learned and requested him to tell
it to me.
“Charles Brooks Finch,” he
said faster than I could listen; but
before I had time to ask him again
he asked me: “Did you ever know
Mr. Elmer Finch- He lives near
p Zebu lon. I'm his grandson.”
I had known him when he was
** a very small boy. He lives in Ra
leigh now and is in second grade
g •" When told that two of
my grandsons go to Hayes Barton
BP he was a bit sorry for them be
cause Murphy is a little better
ts school besides having more up
stairses; but he knew Bob and
Eric were not to blame for not
being Murphy pupils. In Raleigh
>ou have to go to the nearest
school; and Hayes Barton is about
next to Murphy.
It would be hard to say when
I enjoyed a talk more.
It was in the City Market last
Saturday 1 saw the lady who rec
ognized me though she had been
in my home only once, and that
about twenty five years ago when
I* she was Miss Ray. Her father
once owned the land on which
our house is built. She is now Mrs.
*
Ferrell and lives near Duke's
• Lake. She said she still smiles when
she remembers her call in our
home.
She and a young man came
with a couple who wanted my
husband to marry them; but they
had not notified him ahead of
the hour and he was out making
pastoral visits. Not only that, but
, I had chosen that time to clean
out under the front porch, and
• when the four young people drove
tm- up I had to come out just as I
J was to ask them in.
F I am distinctly not at my best
F* when crawling on all-fours from
under a porch, and it is hard to be |
a gracious hostess when one knows
she has not only dirt on face,
hands and clothes, but sand in
* her shoes. However, a wedding
fee was in prospect and I round
* **ed up the older children and
sent them out hunting their fa
ther. He was finally located and i
hurried home; the bride pinned |
her corsage on her pretty blue
1 dress, gave her hair a few smooth-
V ing pats, straightened her new 1
Njue hat, and the ceremony was
performed.
k" Mrs. Ferrell said it was the
hunt for the preacher that amused
her so much, but if she also in
cluded me among the funny things
day, I could not blame her. j

Local High School
Beats Spring Hope
The Wakelon High Bulldogs
rolled to a 40-0 triumph over
Coach Milan Zori's Spring Hope
eleven here last Friday in its sea
son's opener. The local team com
pletely outclassed their opponents
in turning in 14 first downs ts
one for Spring Hope.
Leading the bulldogs m their
first 1941 triumph was Donald
Joyner, quarterback, who turned
in touchdown runs of 25 and 30
yards. Leamon Pearce, fullback,
plunged over center for two touch
downs. Other scores were turned
in by Ervin Joye, left end, on a
pass received in the end zone from
Joyner, and Billy Green who
scored standing up on an end
around. Joye converted two extr.i
points from placement, and
Pearce plunged over center for
two.
Featuring the fine defensive play
of the locals were Ervin, Joye and
James Allord, right tackle. The
entire line played heads-up ball
including Hubert Clark, center,
who intercepted a pass and re
turned it to the opponent's five

FOR VICTORY
Rotary Club Has
Its 86th 100
Per Cent Meeting
Several New Members
Are Welcomed
Into Ivocal (Troup
The Rotary club held another
100 per cent meeting September
26. Robert Massey had the pro
gram and his speaker was Pro
fessor Armstrong of Wakelon fac
ulty. His subject was Athletics.
He told of how the boys were
trying to do this year in Wake
lon high school. He said they were
clos to the bottom last year but
their intentions were to be at the
top if not on top this year. He
mentioned how the boys get ac
quainted by going into other
schools, meeting the boys and see
ing what they were trying to do.
In a hxitball game every one has
to think and act quickly. It helps
to develop a well, strong physical
body and also making them play
fair and square which helps to
build good character. Professor
Armstrong was enthused over his
boys and from the expression in
the way he talked, was putting
everything he could in it for the
sake of his hoys at Wakelon.
The Rotary club welcomed the
following new members: Cleaton
Armstrong, professor of athletics,
Henry Kirby, teacher of science,
both teachers in Wakelon high
school; Leon Thompson, new town
manager; and Aden Hambrick,
professor of Samaria school. We
welcome these additions to our
club and trust they will be 100
per cent members. There were no
visitors.
Plowing Stalks
Under Prevents
Insect Hordes
Plowing under cotton and to
bacco stalks is a simple, effective
means of combatting hordes of
insect pests that will attack these
two major cash crops next year,
says J. O. Rowell, extension en
tomologist of N. C. State College.
Many tobacco stalks have al
ready been killed but those grow
ers who still have stalks growing
in the fields should act immedi
ately in destroying them.
Tobacco stalks develop suckers,
which furnish a food supply for
large numbers of flea beetles, horn
worms, bud worms, and other de
structive pests until frost. •
If the development of these
suckers is prevented, most of the
insects will starve to death or will
go into winter hibernation so weak
they cannot emerge the following
spring and lay eggs for the 1942
crop of pests. A good cover crop
should follow the stalk plowing.
Cotton farmers, now sending
their lint to market, should ‘ake
the same precautions. Every ef
fort should be made to pick cot-*
ton as soon as possible, and then
destroy all stalks with a good stalk
cutter. Then the land should be
plowed, disced, and sown to a win
ter cover crop.
This procedure will prevent the
late development of boll weevils
and will do more than any other
one thing to insure fewer weevils
in 1942. Especially is this import
ant this fall, since weevils staged
one of their biggest attacks in
years on the 1941 cotton crop.
linule is 15. There is no open
season on Woodcock and Jack
