V ■ ■ ■ mam FOR VICTORY Volume XVIII. This, That, & The Other By MRS. THEO. B. DAVIS Sometimes it does not pay to be forehanded with your work. Last week I was so anxious to have all copy ready for this week's paper by the time the linotypists wanted it that I wrote my whole columrt Friday. And it was such a nice column! It was largely devoted to praise of our town and community in contrast with things I knew of in other places. I felt so happy over it! But life is queer. A hard fact rose up on Saturday and slapped me in the face so flatly it nearly knocked my breath out. Not only that, but it contradicted my col umn and kicked it into the waste basket. That is why Monday morning found me at the old typewriter pounding away as fast as possible on another column. If you find fibs in it, remember 1 don’t have time to wait and see before it is printed. When Mrs. Herbert Winstead asked me what to do to kill worms on collard plants I thought for the first time in year's of Mother's killing them on cabbage plants. She used to have us help her break a large leaf from each plant and lay it on top, face down, so it curved a little. This was done late in the afternoon. In the night the worms would crawl from the bud or wherever they were and get on that leaf. Early in the * morning—very early—we would t collect those leaves and feed them to the chickens. You'd have been I amazed to see how many worms had congregated on them. It might 1 work with collards, though a larg- leaf would be needed than with cabbage. Have you seen any of those hot dish-mats made of used jar rub bers crocheted over and together i| with tobacco twine? They are the most servicable I have used. You 'can fold them over if a thicker mat is needed, and you can have them washed with no trouble at all. crochet over each jar-ring sepa rately and then fasten them to gether, four, six, or any preferred number. We had a time last week with our paper. First, we tried to get it out Wednesday to leave time for extra work in the shop. We had part of it printed when some advertisements came in. They meant money, but they also meant something already set in type for the paper had to be left out. Wc went over it, trying to decide what might best be omitted. We left out some guest lists a nd we had to throw away Mrs. Eger Mas ► sey's costume for Erveane’s wed ding. We thought she would not ? mind. We tossed refreshments in jf- to the melting pot and took out f dashes between personals. Some of the type could be saved f6r an * other time, but not much. Such things are what help to complicate running a little paper. If we put on extra pages, they cost 'way beyond a few ads, a nd we are even now sore beset trying to make buckle and tongue meet * the Record. We like to use all local copy possible, but often ,t comes in so late we must con dense it or hold it over. And we L have scant time to go out and Bkyrite accounts of happenings that should really like to publi- He. jgjpßj you want space in the Rec- please let us know, a nd early H in the week.

Fogs of dust added to discomfort caused by heat. The usual medium of temperature for this season is about 66; Sunday's average was 82. Monday set another record with temperature reaching 96, which everyone agreed was plenty hot for July, let alone October. Not much comfort was found in read ing that Goldsboro had 97 degrees and Wilson 98. Methodist Church I Services for Sunday, October 12; Church school —10:00 Church Service —11:00. Young people—6:4s.

Rotary Club Has Meeting The Rotary club held its Bth 100 per cent consecutive meeting October 3. Two of the boys were away seeing the World Baseball series. Charles Allen had the pro gram, his subject being “Arc You the Manager.” Charles spoke ot the qualifications that a manager should have to make those work ing under him respect his ability and love their work. To be a good manager, he said, one must know his business and know the character and the abili ty of those working under him and know what they are capable of doing. This not only applies to owners of stores who have clerks working under him, machine shops, contractors and etc., but to preach ers, Sunday school superintend ents and teachers. They must live a life above criticism to gain and hold the confidence ot those under them. A poor, incapable manager, he continued, will soon lose respect of those working under him and their work will not be of the best. Charles knew all the qualifica tions of a manager and it would hold the interest of any one who heard him. Mr. Scarborough of the Raleigh RECORDER’S COURT HAS A BUSY DAY Some one has said that if you want to keep folks good you must keep them poor and humble. Any way, we have noticed that in the fall when crops are sold and money loosens up, that some peo ple just • can’t behave themselves —they must celebrate prosperity. So, read on. Savannah Parker was up before Judge Rhodes in the last court's session for being drunk and dis orderly. She even had a pistol concealed somewhere round about her person. The court confiscated the little gun and fined her SSO. and the costs. Ercelle Richardson (a he and not a she) had a car and no license, but that did not deter him,from going places. He landed at last before the majesty of the law, and paid the expenses of the case. Jonger Smith was present to answer for the time old custom of being "drunk and disorderly,” and paid the usual cost of the case. ♦Turley Horton, guilty for the same crime or offense as Jonger, not only had to pay the costs but a fine of $5 was levied against him. Charlie Pepper did not need to get drunk to be disorderly. It Zebulon, North Carolina, Friday, October 10, 1941 Large Attendance Recorded at Five County Fair Because of a rush of work that kept all Record employees away from the Fair until after the Rec ord was printed, and because through some misunderstanding no copy was sent to the office con cerning the Fair, it was not men tinned last week, though due pub licity had been given before. It i.', good to be able to report as a sort of post mortem that those who attended state that the midway was unusually clean as to features; that behavior was far above the average; that exhibits were good though women's departments in cluded t<xi much "old stuff” which had been exhibited before one or more times. Secretary Eugene Privette rejoices that attendance was perhaps the best ever. Os fairs in general it may be said that by their' aftermaths ye shall know them; and when re ports are so nearly unanimously favorable it augurs well for the future. Class Meeting Monday Night The Senior Fidelis class of the Baptist Sunday school met on Monday night with Mesdames Burley May, Clarence Hocutt and Frank Kemp hostesses in the home of Mrs. R. R. Creech. The devo tional was led by Mrs. Rodney Murray, new class president.. Mrs. G. J. Griffin taught the first chap ter in the new study oursc, ‘ Give Your Child a Chance.” This | book promises to be very interst- I ing- During the business session it was decided not to choose Polly annas again before Christmas. Gifts with cards revealed these for the last three months. The hostesses served refreshments to an unusually large number of members. Rotary Club, visited the local group. seems he got hold of a cap pistol which looked much like the real thing. He could not resist, so hit the trail holding up folks. Verdict: Pay the costs. Felton Ricks tried his hand at driving a car without permission from the State Highway Com mission, so paid the usual penalty —costs. James Taylor probably paid more for getting drunk than the liquor cost, being taxed with the costs John Wesley Wiggins, with a good old preacher name, respected neither name nor memory when he decided to pocket his razor and go abroad. His white friend, in a time o’ trouble paid a $5 fine and the cost for John Wes ley. Tim Preddy may look pretty to his spouse at times, but he also at times acts differently. If mem ory holds this was not the first time Tim has appeared in court for baiting or beating his wife. The court reminded her that she should not run to the law every time Tim laid hands on her, but that did not keep Tim from pay ing for the court's time. Hubert Taylor failed to re member that if he must get drunk he must do it in private, but what fun does a fellow have if he has no audience? He paid the costs. 11. S. NAVY RECRUITING OFFICER PRESENTS APPLICANT WITH NEW “BADGE OF HONOR” v x|< ■■■■ jf< ’ COMMANDER F. K. O’BRIEN, of the U. S. Navy Recruiting Service, is shown here placing the new Navy "Badge of Honor” on the lapel of an applicant for enlistment in the Navy. (Badge shown above at right.) All ambitious young men who apply forservicein Uncle Sam’s “Two-ocean” Navy, whether accepted or not, are given this new badge as a mark of their patriotism. To learn of the many opportunities the Navy and the Naval Reserve offer, local men of 17 years and over can get the official illustrated free booklet, “Life in the Navy,” from this news paper’s Navy Editor. Advertising Signs Unlawful Advertising signs within less than 50 feet of highways in the State, except in partcular circum stances, will be unlawful in North Carolina, after November Ist, ac cording to a resolution adopted by the State Highway and Public Works Commission. This resolution provides that restrictions shall not apply to signs beyond the limits of the [ State Highway right-of-way erec ted at a place of business to ad vertise that business, or signs erec ted on premises advertising it for sale or advertising for sale pro ducts produced thereon. Signs al ready lawfully erected on leased property must be relocated or re adjustd to conform to this ruling within 12 months from the cf fecive date. There is, however, a limit at which forbearance ceases to be i virtue.—Burke. Oh, yes, boys will be boys, and sometimes act just like men. First Millard Morgaff threw a rock at Manly Lucas. But he did not hit; the “nigger's head,” so he lost and paid the costs, which included a J. P.'s fee of $2.00. E. C. Towne assaulted W. F. Lueass with a deadly weapon, i namely a pocket knife. Lucas had to have the services of a doctor, i Towne paid the costs of the case, and also the doctor’s bill Joe Riley High one day, as he j stood around in Phillips grocery store, looked up and saw light coming down through the sky light. He also noticed that the distance from the hole to the 1 counter below was not far for a very long-legged negro. So that night he borrowed a pair of over alls and a hammer from a friend \ and went to town. The next morn ing Jr>c was missing; also several things of value were missing from Rondall's store. A hole a nd a hammer were mute evidence of what had happened. Policeman Shannon and Sheriff Massey did some fine detective work and Joe was caught in Richmond and re turned to the land of his birth. He was sent on the Superior Court where he will answer to the charge of “breaking and entering,” a very " serious offense in the category of \ crime. Little River Reflections Howdy, Neighbor. Last Sunday I walked down to the river for rest and reflection; but my rest was broken into by a group of fishermen, who were taking the Lord’s Day for an out ing. That set me to thinking, and I am going to talk to you this week on The Holy Sabbath Day, and our present attitude toward it. I heard a man speak the other day, and he said that we were turning the Holy Sabbath Day into a day of money-making and frolic. It is not enough for pro fessing Christians to bemoan the iact of Sabbath desecration, but they should do something about it This speaker showed how the Lord's Day Alliance is doing something about it in various parts of the nation with good re sults. Christian people are also citizens and as such can stop much of the violations of the Sabbath. In iur own community w r e have the power to close all stores, fill ing stations, and other places of business during Church Services on the Sabbath by law. They op erate in violation of laws on our statute books, and should be closed j by the officers of the law if they j did their full duty. But the Christian people are at fault in either not doing any thing about violations or even sanctioning them. In Zebulon we see such violations going on every i Sabbath, and even civic organiza-; tions have joined in becoming Sabbath breakers. If your pro fession to be a Christian is worth anything, and not “tinkling cym bal and sounding brass,” you should make your protest heard in every way against all such Sab bath desecration. The Sage emphatically enters his protest against all such viola tions, and will work unceasingly with all who will try to put .an end to such law breaking. The Sabbath was given to man by a wise God, who knew man's need, and provided a day of rest for him. But sinful men have tak en advantage of the lukewarmness of the professing Christians, and turned God's day into material advantage, and made it a den of thieves. The Sabbath is fast slip ping away from us, if we remain idle. Let’s get up on our hind legs, and do something about it. We can’t start too soon. “Faith without work is dead.” —The Sage of L. R. V ■ ■ ■ ama FOR VICTORY Harvest Festival Held; Schools Closed Tuesday Wakclon schools were closed on Tuesday m order that teachers and pupils might attend the Har vest Festival in Raleigh. Repre senting Wakelon in the parade w-as a large float decorated in yel low and brown. In it rode Alma Doris Jones, queen from this com munity; Geneva Sea well, Lula Mcdlin and Annie Pearl Liles, costumed as corn, cotton and to bacco. Electricity Now Being Used For Potatoes A growing number of farmers in North Carolina and neighbor ing states are using electricity for j curing and storing sweet potatoes and finding it quite economical and satisfactory. It provides a more even distribu .ion of heat which results in a better and more uniform cure. Fewer potatoes are lost by overheating or underheat ing, and the space formerly re quired by the stove is utilized for storage. Sing While You Drive J i The suggestions given below , were copied from a magazine by . C. C. Critz of the Record force r and were given to the associate editor. • , For those who wish to sing | while driving an automobile the following songs are considered ap . propriate. At 45 miles per hour sing “Highways are Happy Ways.” At 55 sing “I’m But a Stran ger Here; Heaven Is My Home." i At 65, “Nearer My God to Thee.” i At 75, “When the Roll Is Called up Yonder I’ll Be There.” At 85, “Lord, I’m Coming Home.” New Home Is Started Work has been started on the new home of Mr. and Mrs. J. K. Barrow, Sr. The location is on Gannon Ave., also the Raleigh highway, between the Mann and Whitley homes. This is one of the most desirable lots in Zebulon and the house to be built will add much to the section in which it will stand. For Defense It may be news to Record read' ers to know that even businesses so small as the Zebulon print shop had to turn in an account of stock on hand that might be need ed for defense work. Machinery, type metal, supplies on hand mu3t be surrendered should the govern , ment call for them. Not to speak of the difficulty in'securing new shipments, there is a chance of what is on hand being requisition ed. The chance, however, is slim — at least—we hope so. HIGHER Prices received by the N®tion’s farmers for their products dur ing the month ending September 15 averaged 43 percent higher than a year ago, reports the U. S. Department nf Aprirnltiire.
