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.

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.
