©lrr Zrbttlon Sterarb Volume XVIII. This, That <S* the Other By Mrs. Theo. B. Davis Open confession may be good for the soul, but at times it may be bad for the reputation. Never theless, I confess to having attend ed a secular luncheon in Raleigh 4 last Sunday—but after Sunday School and church were over. Do not blame my husband, if you are in a critical mood; he did not ap prove, but neither did he forbid, and the rest of the family thought a little genteel kicking-up might be helpful to my morale. When the North Carolina Press Women’s Association was organ ized I became a charter member. I told the committee that ours is a small paper in a small town, but they wanted members—and dues —and there's no use saying I did n't feel flattered at being invited to join. But because all of them work all week they hold meetings on Sunday and I had never been present at one till Sunday. When we were all seated at long tables in Hotel Carolina I caught myself looking the crowd over. You see, my acquaintance with luncheons, banquets and such has been mostly with those of church, school or woman’s club, and I wanted to make a comparison. Sunday's assemblage resembled and differed. The women looked a bit teacherist-ic, and I was not the only one who taught a class in Sunday school before leaving the home town; but I believe that at an educational or religious meeting there would have been less smok ing. At each plate were favors —a ticket to Orton Gardens, Wilmington; a jar of Cates pickle, a glowing camellia, scratch pad and pareflft, r® A.'R. I tried to look Zebulon they will put my ciga to into my bag, but the non chalance slipped a bit when the lady at my right asked whether I had ever covered a murder trial. I told her we don't have murder trials in Zebulon. Messrs. Cooper and LaMond of Meredith College's faculty gave a group of musical numbers, the former at the piano, the latter with a saw. Mr. LaMond was an ex pert with that saw, though it was queer to hear it doing a Brahms lullaby. When my son, Ted, used to play one I felt it was only a fad, never dreaming it might be stylish to play one. Nor did I yet feel that a saw is among royalty in musical instruments. John A. Park of The Raleigh Times welcomed us and Jona athan Daniels of The News and Observer made the speech of the day. Mr. Daniels was hardly com plimentary, but he was stimulat ing. He thinks women have not done much as factual reporters and accused us of belittling the posi tion of society editor "as if births and marriages are not among the most important happenings of a [Continued on Page Four ] “/Vo gross protvs on o I ton ten rood” FEBRUARY B—Koqei Williams, founder of Rhode Island, arrives _ r u Boston, 1631. r*.

Beddingfield, 41 years old, head of the Acme Drug . company, fell to his death from his room on the 10th floor of the Bismarck hotel. “At an inquest a coroner's jury found that he had committed sui cide, but was unable to learn the motive. Attorney John H. Babb said he had known Beddingfield for more than a year and believed him to be in good health and with out financial worries. “Beddingfield came here from Zebulon, N. C., a little more than a year ago.” * He is survived by four brothers and four sisters. The body was | sent home for burial. Mr. Beddingfield visited a spe cial friend, Avon Privette, here only a few days before his death. P.-T.

Edison, Pasteur, and many I others were named who had con tributed to their fellow man. Lu ther left the impression that a good citizen is one who helps his fel- j low man leaving memories cherish- : ed long after he is gone. Luther's talk carried the thought that a selfish life contributes noth ing to be remembered. Prof. Moser gave another inter esting and helpful lesson on Eng lish. He is teaching us how to understand our language better and how to express ourselves bet ter. Thse classes are free to the public. Th lessons open every Friday at 7:30 p.m. in the Wo man's Club building. Fcrd Davis attended the Rotary Forum at Rocky Mount Friday af ternoon and the dinner there Fri day night. President Massey of the local club and Vance Brown also attended the night session, at which Ray Tiffany, national di rector of Rotary, was the chief speaker. Seven other clubs partic ipated in the forum.

Motorists Can't Get Car Stickers Demand for the new auto stick ers in Zebulon was greater than had been planned by the govern ment in sending out supplies. On i last Saturday numbers of owners jof cars applied, $2.10 in hand, . only to be told by Postmaster Sex ! ton or a clerk that no tags were to be 1 id until 2 new supply a*»> rived. These new stickers were expect- Jed Monday morning, but failed j to come and more disappointment was in store for some. The fact that a penalty is ex acted for failure to comply with the law in regard to buying these tags made the situation more un pleasant. February 1 was the original deadline, but doubtless concessions will be made for those who found it impossible to buy. Girl Scouts Meet In Gymnasium * The Girl Scout troop of Zebu- j lon met in the Wakelon gym. Jan uary 16. We met to learn to play basketball.
