Cl Its Zrbulon ißvnrrb Volume XVIII. This, That Cr the Other By Mrs. Theo. B. Davis Among last week's news was that about the new stickers for the special tax on automobiles. Some one made a mistake and the Etyck um was put on the wrong side. I felt so sorry for the ones lesponsible. Nothing is much worse than the first sickening re alization that such an error has been made. You know the say ing that a lawyer's mistakes are hanged, a doctor's are buried, but a printer's stand out for all .the world to see. The last part, at least, is true. With the above in mind I am giving a paragraph from a letter received a few days ago in our office. The writer is an associ ational clerk whom we have nev er seen, but whom we like very much because of his courtesy, consideration and fair dealing. He wrote: "I am pleased with the minutes and I have heard no criticism from anyone so far You know pleas ing the public is not an easy job. The only way I know is to do your best, conscientiously, and then swallow the bitter pill of criticistn and unappreciation with out a grunt or a frown, and all will be well.” I am memorising that last sen tence. We are reading much and hearing something of work that should be done in every community as a part of defense. Naturally, the program will need to be adapted to varying condi tions. Here in Zebulon we prob ably are in far less dangesr from bombs than are those in indus trial centers. But we have other problems and should get busy on them. I am still much in favor of mak 'ling those at home wear home-knit socks and giving the factory out put to the army, if a shortage oc curs. That is unless the work is by experts. Amateur knitters often turn out two socks instead of a pair; and the length may be so different as to cause acute dis comfort to the wearer unless he is somewhat deformed, I believe we ought to begin by overhaling all the worn and out grown clothing on hand in our homes. Take these to some com mon center and from them cut whatever seems best suited to the material. Smaller garments, quilts, and such will use all but the worst worn parts, which may be sold for rags. We have been asked not to bum paper, which may also be collected and sold to be worked over, as can old iron and tin. Not for the soldiers, but for us. leav ing the best for them. We may help avert shortages by wearing (Continued on page four) “Better late than net-er” JANUARY HBfIRUI 22—S.

Champ Billiard Shots Coming Here Monday Hunt’s Pool Room To See Trio Perform Exhibition Every one likes to see a winner at play or work, and Willard Gill has arranged for this community to see the world's champion bill iard player in action. She is Do lores Carr, 19 years old, and is willing to meet all challengers for her title. Her manner of playing and unusual shots will be fasci nating to watch. She is directed and assisted by James Caras, tu tor and cousin ot the world cham pion, James Caras, who will also appear here. He is the only play er in the world shooting nickels into pockets with cue ball. He is Delaware's champion player. Also in Zebulon at the same time will be Juanita Leigh ol Louisburg, formerly of Bunn and almost a local character. She is rapidly becoming known as an expert billiard player and will show her skill to Zebulon watch ers. These three will be in Runt s Pool Room on the night of January 26 at 9:30. All interested in seeing cham pion shots and champions are in vited. Men will be charged an ad mission fee of 25c» ladies will be admitted free. Fifty Person* Are On Defense Roll More than fifty persons en rolled last Saturday at the town office for various phases of work connected with defense. There is still time for many more to enlist, and it is hoped that all who can give even a little time will let it be known. Negro men and wo men are wanted as well as white persons. Classes will be organized for training those who need more knowledge of work to be done. Zebulon is in the war. Zebulon men have gone to the front to fight. Shall those at home be less loyal? Mark Osborne Preaches Here On last Sunday night the pui pit of the local Baptist church was filled by the Rev. Mark Osborne, ministerial student at Wake For est College and pastor at Bailey and Stanhope. Invited by Pastor Griffin, Mr. Osborne pleased his hearers with a solo at the morn ing service as well as with the sermon in the evening. Wakefield Fidelis Class Meets The Fidelis Class of Wakefield Baptist Church held its monthly meeting Wednesday night, Janu ary 14, at the home of Helen Bunn. After business was trans acted a program, in charge of Mrs. Edison Wood, was given on "The Golden Beans of Truth. " There were 14 present. A salad course was served at the end of the meet ing. Bank Holiday The Bank here was closed on Monday in honor of Robert E. Lee's birthday. Since this is a Southern holiday and not nation ally observed, the post office had no holiday, but kept the usua* hours. Information, Please Any information concerning a card table belonging to the wo man's club will be appreciated by the house committee. This table was misplaced following a tourn ament when extra tables had to be borrowed and was most prob ably returned instead of a bor rowed one. It is black with white stripes. Zebulon, North Carolina, Friday, January 23, 1912 First war poster of the new World War, painted by the distinguished artist James Montgomery Flagg, carries an appeal for a $50,000,000 war fund to aid the victims of aggression upon the United States and its « island possessions. Don’t Let Your Income Tax * Blank Become an Allergy The Revenue Act of 1941 pro vides a simplified method of com puting income taxe in the case of individuals whose gross income is derived wholly from salary, wages or other compensation for personal services, dividends, interest, rent, annuities, or royalties, and does not exceed $3,000. A new Form 1040A has been provided for tax payers who are entitled to and elect to use such method. A table on the reverse side of this Form shows the amount of tax on in creasing amounts of gross income after the proper allowance of S4OO for each dependent, it any. llow to Distinguish Nationality of Aircraft UNITED STATES ARMY UNITED STATES NAVY GREAT BRITAIN.

Watchers on the southern border occasionally may see the red triangle of Mexico Axis raid r» are easily spotted through the familiar black cross and swastika of Germany, the ound red ruing sun emblem of Japan and the Roman fascefi insignia borne by Italian planes. * The tax under the simplified method is the same for each $25.00 block of gross income and the tax payer need only ascertain in which block his gross income (less al i wance for dependents) fall to determine his tax. A flat reduc tion of 10 percent has been made • * in driving at the amount of tax shown in the table for deductions j such as charitable contributions ! and taxes paid, so that the tax payer who uses this method doe.> not list these but gets an auto matic deduction of 10 percent. Under the simplified method the (Continued on page four) Here's What to Do In Case Raid Comes Don’t Be A Wise Guy; Keep Cool And Keep Living Save this information. Should an air raid come to your community, you can do your part while protecting yourself. Re member these six simple rules: 1. Keep calm and cool. 2. Stay home. 3. Put out lights. 4. Lie down. 5. Stay away from windows. 6. Don't telephone. Don't run—walk. Don’t scream be quiet. Don’t crowd into public places. If the raid starts while you are away from home, lie down under shtlter. Keep your mouth open by rolling your handkerchief and putting it be tween your teeth. Put your hands over your ears. Protect the back of your head. Don’t look up. In the house, go into your ref uge room and close the door. Make yourself comfortable. Relax. If bombs fall near you, lie down. A good place is under a table with sturdy legs, or a strong couch turned upside down. Keep away from windows. Don’t look out. Shut off gas furnaces, ranges, or water heaters, and their pilot lights. Shut off electrical connections. Put out all lights you cannot closely screen, so no light reaches the street —the light that's out or covered tighc will never guide a Jap! If an incendiary hits your house go put it out with a spray (never a stream, jet, or splash) of water. It will burn out rapidly under a fine water spray—a splash or stream maizes it scatter molten metal. When it is out, go back to shelter. The chance your home will be hit is very small. Keep cool. Stay off the streets. Again we say— keep cool! Appoint one member of the family for your home warden to remember all rules. Mother makes the best! Stay quiet indoors or under shelter till the “all clear” sounds. Don't believe wild rumors. Don’t crowd. Don't scream. Don t telephone. Don't start disorder ur panic. Do what the Air Raid Warden tells you to do. Be strong, be calm, be orderly.
