<£be Zebulmt fiwraro Volume XV. Thi« That and the Other By MRS. THEO B. DAVIS Having been born and reared in the country, I had reached the stage of being proud of it when procedure beyond my control made a town citizen of me, and now it seems I am to become styl ish as well as town-ish. For patches are becoming fashionable. Truly, some have greatness thrust upon them. The magazine, LIFE, in its lat est edition, illustrates patches and patching, printing an article tell ing how they are put on and worn. You may, it says, wear a patch made as nearly invisible as pos sible and kept sort of secret, or you may put it on to show plainly and wear it with a swaggering pride. I know the first way al ready and may learn the other. The reason for this article is the need to conserve all material and make few calls or none for new things. Can any one tell me what has happened to cape jessamine bushes around here? Am I wrong in thinking there are not nearly so many as formerly? Ours were so badly burned when our home was, that they've never done right since. We made the mistake of resetting them without taking out all the injured pieces from the clumps; and now we shall have to tear them apart after all these years and see if they will do bet ter. Should they be planted on the north or the south side of the house? Where I came from they always had to be potted and kept indoors through the winter, and I am not sure as to what is best for them in this climate. Sitting Sunday evening with my youngest gradnson in my lap I re membered all at once how my grandmother used to take her in fant grandchildren on her knees when they were carried to visit her; how she would remove their little caps and say soothingly, “Yes, he wants Grandma to rub behind his ears.” She would gently stroke and rub around and back of the baby’s ears and he — or she—never failed to cuddle down in deep satisfaction. I tried it with Leary. Twice he looked up at me, wide-eyed, then with a sigh of relaxation he set tled down just as blissfully as any great-aunt or uncle ever did at his age. Now Grandma was born a hundred and six years ago, and most probably her grandmother rubbed around her ears. Babies don’t change much or fast. Baptist Church Services for Sunday, April 19: 9:45.

Tuberculosis Is Object of Drive Mrs. Charles Flowers Is Made Chairman for Zebulon The Early Diagnosis Campaign of Zebulon and community will get under way beginning April 20. The purpose of this drive will be to check any increase of this di sease that the county may be fac ing and also to educate the public. Early diagnosis of tuberculosis means not only early recovery but prevention of the spread of the di sease. If you know any active or suspi cious cases of tuberculosis that are not treated by a doctor and they live in Wake County, please report them to Mrs. Charles E. Flowers. One of the features of the Ear ly Diagnosis Campaign is the free clinic in the Health office at Old Rex Hospital.

The young girls who have completed their course in Home Hygiene and care of the Sick will be in charge and will distribute pamphlets and put up posters.

May in rows about three feet wide, and from ten to twelve iru ches in the drill, on the level or just below. Cultivation should start soon after the young plants break through the soil.
