Volume XVIII. This, That Cr the Other By Mrs. Theo. B. Davis Dr. Barbee, Judd Robertson and Pastor Boone were talking in the office about how to lose weight. Mr. Boone thinks leaving off cer tain items of food the best way. Exercise was mentioned and other methods. But I have a prescrip tion more certain than those: Lie awake most of the night worrying over what has happened or what may happen. This will change not only your kxiks, but your dis position also. Your family will stare at you with wonder, if not with admiration, and even your friends may revise their opinions of you. Another advantage in worrying is that if you keep at it long enough and hard enough, you will be able to wear those clothes you laid away some time ago before your corporation expanded, mak ing them too small for you, or you too large for them. Selma and I tried a new recipe for a quick dessert the other day. It is called Dessert Dumplings. You put on one and one-half cups of brown sugar with two cups of water and let it boil two min utes in a flat-bottomed cooker. While it cooks sift two cups of self-rising flour, or use two cups plain flour and one and one-half teaspoons baking powder. To the flour add one-half cupful sugar, a pinch of salt, two tablespoons melted butter and two teaspcxjns vanilla or other flavoring. Add one-half cup of milk and stir to a rough batter. Drop it by spoon fuls into the boiling sirup and cover closely, letting it cook fif teen minutes. Serve with whipped cream, if you have it, or with chopped pecans sprinkled over the top. This is a good dessert to choose when unexpected company comes. It can cook while the main course of the meal is being eaten and you can pretend you wanted it to be right off the stove. But if there is no company, you might bake some extra nice bis cuit and eat them hot with butter and almost any first class table sirup. There’s not enough dif ference to bother about in the taste. 1 Os course we shall have a good many more days of winter; bus Sunday I found some sprays of First Breath O’ Spring. The buds of spirea, quince and forsythia are swelling and before long vio lets will be in bloom. All of which means not so much ro mance as vegetable gardens to us this year. Merely to think of the planting, cultivating, gathering, preparing and cooking of all we ought to grow makes me tired. (Continued on page four) By Mrs. Theo. B.

VNU Senrto* slhp Zrlntlmt JErrorii Here Are More Facts About Income Tax Further Information About Unpleasant Topic Given Here • To make it easier for taxpayers to meet the increased taxes re quired by the National Defense Program, the Treasury Depart ment is offering for sale two series of notes, both dated August 1, 1941, and maturing August 1, 1943. In January of each year two new series will be provided so that a taxpayer can always pur chase notes during the entire year in which he is receiving his in come for use in paymnt of taxes due the following year. The rea son for the two-year note is to permit a taxpayer, if he so desires, to begin saving in January of one year and continue through that year to save for his taxes due the following year. All notes are sold at par and accrued interest. When present ed in payment of income taxes they will be received at par and accrued interest up to and in cluding the month in which such taxes are paid. Interest will not accrue beyond the maturity of the notes. If not presented in pay ment of income taxes, they will be redeemed for cash under cer tain specified conditions at the purchase price paid for the notes. In other words, the taxpayer, if he redeems the notes for cash, gets back just the amount he paid. Complete information about these Treasury notes, will be found in a Treasury Department Circu lar available at local banks, Fed eral Reserve Banks and branches, or Treasury Department, Wash ington, D.

He is always fighting with my brother Jim and I. He is Irish, and can fight. All you have to do is to give him a club. A gun is not necessary. Pat, age 8. My Grandfather was a soldier in the Spanish-American war. He has ,u:- flag over his grave. We are ■r.-oud of it. Sinserly in love, Bar bara Ann. . . Johnston Woman Slain Mrs. Bessie Brewer of Smith fi id was killed on January 19 by Toseph Ellis, whom she had be-. friended. The murderer blud geon d his victim to death at the Salvation Army home in the j Johnston County town. After killing Mrs. Brewer, Ellis stole money from her room and also took her car.

Zebulon, North Carolina, Friday, January 30, 1912 * Rotary Hears J. Robertson Brother of Coroner Banks Gives Skit For Local Club The Zebulon Rotary Club con tinued its record - making series * of 100 per cent meetings last Fri * day night, at which time Judd Robertson had the program, assist ed by Calvis Banks masquerading as a "jackleg backwoods preacher.” Banks, a brother of Coroner Banks, entertained the Rotarians 1 for ten or fitfeen minutes with his 1 burlesqued homily, after which he gave a song and dance number. Judd’s subject was Interpreta tion of the Future. On this topic I he gave some rather pessimistic in formation in regard to the govern ment's policy toward business in j time of war. All of us, Judd said, must draw in our belts during the war, though some of us will suffer . more than others because of the non-defense nature of our work. His own business will suffer tre mendous losses, he concluded. After the meeting Mr. Moser . taught the third in his scries of English classes for adults. These ' classes, which are open to the en j tire community, have been great successes. These classes are taught at 7:30 i every Friday evening. Citizens are urged to attend.

Ser mon topic: “Does God Treat All Alike?” 7:00 —Young People's service. 7:3o—Mission Night. Mis sionary organizations meet in their respective groups. Fire Here Saturday Sound of the fire alarm last week sent hearers rushing to find the cause. A blaze had spread near Paul Brantley's store in the southwestern part of town and in spite of efforts to control it, the flames ate their way across lots and fields until fifteen acres had Jxren burned over. Back firing and work by boy scouts aided ma- j tenally in extinguishing what might have been a disastrous fire. It might be well to remember that permission must be obtained before even a property owner has the right these days to start a fire , outdoors. Class to Write Play Seniors of Corinth Holder high, school directed by Supt. Cunning ham, will write their own play for commencement. They arc now at work on this ambitious project.

Mrs. Irby Gill reported that the Ways and Means Committee will sell Brunswick stew one Saturday in February. Club members will be notified of the date and orders 'will be taken by telephone by Mrs. C. G. Weathersby and Mrs. Gill. Club members were asked to earn in some way SI.OO between now and May. This will be dis cussed more fully at the Febru ary meeting. In the meantime, make plans for earning your dol lar for the club debt. Mrs. Boone Attends Nashville Meeting Mrs. B. F.

Above, as Army flier leaves unfinished personal matters for the Red Cross field director to take care of while he embarks on an emergency flight across country. The Red Cross is the official means of communication between service men and their families back home. Save Paper for Defense Work Don’t Kick Because Your Grocer Doesn’t Wrap Goods “Fancy” Conserve paper! That request has been made to all the people by the government. Even before we were in war, the government was using one-third of the nation’s paper box production for arms needs, and now military demand will rapidly increase. On top of that, the armed forces have many other important uses for paper of all kinds The cheapest forms of p per, such as newsprint, can be reclaimed and made into boxes and other articles. When you do your shopping, get along with a minimum of wrapping. The National Associa tion of Food Chains offers con sumers four good suggestions when it says: 1. Don't ask for a bag when an item is already packaged. 2 Don't ask for separate bags un less necessary—or any bag at all if you have only a few items to arry. 3. Take groceries in car tons when available—then use the cartons as receptacles in which to save waste paper at home. 4. Re member to save on all kinds of paper. Don’t think the stores you pa tronize are being stingy when they stop using paper, string, tape and other wrappings in the wastcfully lavish form we've become used to. When they cut down on pa per use, they are cooperating with the government. This is just one more of the many ways retailing in all its branches, chain store and independent store alike, is serving the country now. Every family can help in the conserve paper drive. Save all you can and turn it in when you reach a substantial poundage. The Army and Navy need it. It Pays to Advertise; We Have Rags! The Record shop is supplied with rags for some time to come. They were not wanted for re selling or for making paper, as a good many surmised; but were needed for cleaning machinery and press rollers. The force ap preciates the response given the ad which appeared one time only, the editor taking it as good evi dence that all of the Record is read. Number 27 PCA Members Meet Jan. 21 Local Man Is Reelected to Place In Directors’ Group At the eigth annual stockholders meeting on January 21 at the Ral eigh Memorial Auditorium, mem bers and guests of the Raleigh Pro duction Credit Association were assured by Geo. D. Richardson, president, that the production cred it system stood ready to finance the changed farming operations re sulting from the defense program. Jack Frost, representative of the Production Credit Corporation, which supervises production credit associations in North Carolina, in South Carolina, Georgia and Flori da, called upon those present to think seriously of “the challenge to our freedom and the important part that agriculture can play in the strugle for victory.” J. H. Akins of Varina and C. S. Chamblee of Zebulon were elcted directors for a three year term. Other members of the board are Geo. D. Richardson of Raleigh, Obe Tingen of Apex, and J. T. Shearon of Raleigh. Reports given by E. F. Warner, Secretary-Treasurer, indicated that during 1941 the association made loans totalling $494,120 to 832 members. Membership investment and accumulated reserves have ris en from $25 in 1934 to SBO,OOO at the close of business December 31, 1941. Work Nearly Done On Baptist Annex It is expected that in about two weeks the addition to the local Baptist Church will be practically completed. It will provide assemb ly and class rooms for Sunday School departments, relieving the congestion that has for some time hindered the work. However, since the building program pro hibits a debt, it will be necessary for all who have not paid amounts pledged to make their contribu tions as soon as possible. Theatre Reopens After Fire Strikes The Wendell Theatre has re opened after being damaged by fire last week. The manager states that new equipment has been pur chased and installed and better fa cilities than before are promised the public. Thus one's misfor tune has become the good fortune of others. Methodist Church Services for Sunday: Church school —10:00. Worship service—7:3o. All of us realize that we need a new church. This week, we are asking all members of the church to make a liberal contribution to a new church fund. Our plan is to add to this fund until we are in position to start building. Men, women, boys and giHs are asked to make a liberal gift to the end that we may have a new church in the near future. Sunbeam Meeting Mrs. Robert Phillips, Sunbeam Leader, announces a meeting of the Band on next Sunday. Mothers will please take note and remem ber. United States Marines are sta tioned as far north as Iceland and as far south as the Samoan Isl ands, the two extremes of lati tude of their various outposts in various parts of the world.
