©hr jgebuUm Herorfii Volume XV. This, That and the Other By MRS. THEO. B. DAVIS Long ago I learned that news papers do not give men the title of “Mr.” unless it is in some social item like a wedding invitation or an announcement, or when the Mr. and Mrs. are mentioned together. And usually it is easy to call the men by name, so to speak or write. But when I started just now to type the personals and wanted to say Mr. Pittman Stell is out again after a recent illness, my fingers refused to hit the keys for Pittman until they had put Mr. before it. Don’t ask me to ex plain; I can’t. How are you making out on your ration of sugar? At our house each morning I measure the day s allowance into the bowl and when we have a little left over we are pleased as anything. My daugh ter has jars labeled with names of the family and takes a spoon ful from each in turn when she cooks something calling for sugar. So far it has not bothered us, but it is entirely probable that we shall become tired of it before we may buy in quantity again. At that, it may be good for us in more ways than one. I’ve heard some amusing things in connection with the registration for coupon books last week. One was about the man who said he had fifteen children and who had to call on the neighbors to help re member all their names. Then there was the man who re fused to tell the registrar his given name, preferring to have only the initial written down. She ex plained that it was necessary to have the name in full, inasmuch as he might have to use the same book for other things that may be rationed later on. He replied that his narrie was so bad he hated to speak it and the registrar began to be uneasy, but insisted that he at least write it dowm for her to copy. At last he said he would spell it for her, and did. It w r as Theophi lus; and I’ve heard many names j that seem to me worse than that, as Theophilus means friend of God. And there was th». man who not long ago bought a hundred pounds of sugar, though there were only three in his family. He had so much on hand that he can not buy any more before September couldn’t even get a book of cou pons. There was the state purchasing agent who, called upon to tell how much sugar he had on hand said (13,000 pounds, almost scaring the registrar. And the man who reported only a half pound in his house and la mented when told he might have had two pounds per person. A good many expectant mothers were disappointed to learn that babies can’t have ration coupons till after birth. Last week I met by chance an attractive, stylishly dressed, pleas ant-mannered woman who had never heard of me. I keep re membering some things she said. She believes that woman’s part in this war is to keep up her own morale and that of her family and friends by looking well and keep ing well. She holds that we should not let our minds dwell at all upon Ten Cases Tried In Local Court F. T. Banks, careless and reck less driving. Plea of guilty. Sentence suspended on payment of costs and fine. Howard Lee Jones was found guilty of driving with improper brakes. Sentence suspended on payment of costs.

Hallie Richardson pled guilty to public drunkenness and was ord ered to pay costs and also to pay $2.50 for damage done to a car. Sentence suspended. Roy Rives and Hugh Walters pled guilty to charges of public drunk enness. Sentence suspended on payment costs. The case of B. C. Bunn, charged with having no trailer license, was nol prossed with leave. Ida Rue Gay admitted having no driving license and had to pay costs of case. Henry Lee F. Shelby had no chauffeur’s license. Judgment sus pended on payment of costs. Hatchery Sells Many Chicks O. H. Massey, who has been op erating a community hatchery at Zebulon during the past twelve years, reports that he was unable to supply the demands for baby chicks during the months of March and April. “We have always had a good demand for chicks during these two months,” says Mr. Mas sey, “but the demand this year was much better than usual. I have also observed that more of our small farmers and poultry produc ers have been buying chicks this season and believe that more farm ers are endeavoring to carry out the government’s request for in creased production of poultry and eggs.” Mr. Massey operates a 22,000 egg capacity incubator and has been carefully selecting male birds from R. O. P. flocks to mate with his breeding hens for the past sev eral years. Needless to say, he has been producing some good chicks. In talking with several other hatcherymen. who operate com mercial hatcheries in Wake County, I find that they too have experienced an increased demand for baby chicks this season. Along with the hatching and sale of chicks the Massey hatchery car ries a high grade feed for chicks and flocks. tl|F war. “Os course,” she said, charmingly regretful, “it is dread ful, but we can’t do a thing on earth about it; and if we buy war stamps and bonds, that is all we need worry about. We ought not to keep thinking of the suffering over there or that may happen here.” Maybe we shouldn’t. I did not, try to argue the question. Zebulon, N. C., Friday, May 15, 1942 mm \ Jr .. % i* j-.- jg* Jr ■ Bp* Pictured is Senator Josiah Wm. Bailey who is a candidate to succeed himself. He has steadily gained in influence since his first election and is considered one of the most bril liant members in the U. S. Senate. All Dogs Must Be Vaccinated Now The State Board of Health is sending Dr. Koontz here again on Thursday afternoon to vaccinate dogs against rabies . Last week 22 were given the treatment and it is hoped that all others needing it j will be brought to C.hamblee Sta ! bles this week. It must be re membered that neglect of this pre caution by an owner may result in the disposal of his dog by legal authority. Also it should be kept in mind that local officials have no choice in the matter, since it is a state law that requires all dogs to be vaccinated each year. The cost is 75c which may be de ducted from the tax paid by own ers. Softball Game Is Track Meet, 20-19 G. C. Massey’s arm was one run better than Bob Hadley’s arm on Monday afternoon, when the Zeb ulon Record team beat the Caro lina Power and Light Co. team by a score of 20-19. Everybody on both teams hit safely at least once, and home runs were numerous. Errors, how evei, were more numerous than hits, neither team supporting their pitcher. The win gave the paper boys a two-to-one margin in games play ed thus far. Another team made up of workers in local stores is expected to play in one game of a double-header next Wednesday afternoon.

Keep on Alert For Air-Raid Town Manager Thompson wants Zebulon citizens reminded to keep on the alert from now on. Al though a practice blackout was successful, there may be reason for a real blackout when no time will be left for rehearsal. Bear this in mind. And when leaving home be sure that all lights are cut off or completely hidden from outside. This co-operation may be far more important than seems probable now.
