<Ehe Zebulon tßrrorit Volume XV. This, That and the Other By MRS. THEO B. DAVIS After spending a good deal of time and thought and some money on gadgets to help hold flowers in the position I want them in ar rangements, I have found the well-nigh perfect thing for con tainers that are not transparent. It is wire from balled-up scraps of poultry fencing to the fine copper kind that you sometimes get around packages. Haybaling wire is fine. It is heavy enough to keep even magnolias from top pling over when placed in a jar diniere. Wind it into a twisted coil and then twist it to fit the space it was meant for. Small Linda Bridges was sitting by me in our yard while I held the six-months-old grandson in my lap. Suddenly the baby sprang to his feet, grabbed me by one cheek and the short hair at the nape of my neck and covered my face with fervent, widemouthed, wet kisses. Linda stared at the performance, then, “My,” she said, “I bet he grows up to love the girls!” Little Eloise Bogen’s white Spitz puppy disappeared some time ago, either straying or being carried off. If you should see this pup—her name is Patty—Eloise earnestly hopes that you will bring her home or tell the Bogens where you saw her. Dolls and other toys are nice to have, but once you have owned a white puppy things not alive have less appeal. Ever since the first rumors of sugar rationing I have wanted a good recipe for pickle with sac charine instead of sugar. It seems that we have it. In another col umn is Mrs. B. S. Nash’s recipe which came to me via Mrs. .Tethro Stell. I have not used it yet. but shall as soon as cucumbers are more plentiful. Several times recently I have read advice to carry a cane when walking. Two writers of note in sist that no one should start a walk without a good stick in hand. It is to aid in crossing ditches, to fend off briars, perhaps to defend oneself against a snake, as well as a dog that may be vicious, and to give support when the carrier is tired. Especially is a stick needed when hills are to be climbed. I’m going to try it. The youngest of my aunts wrote me not long ago that she had said she would use a cane, if her child ren would donate one with a gold head; but that she had about reached the place where she was willing to use any kind they would give her. Aunt Emma is more than ten years older than I. so don’t accuse me of actually needing the cane you’re likely to see me swinging jauntily—or leaning on-*-as I come to work. Remember, I shall be merely keeping up with the style. Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ve obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteous ness. Romans 6: 16. Pioneer Completes 3,000,000 Miles of Service j , -I <s& * THE first New York Florida streamliner, Seaboard Railway’s “Silver Meteor”, chalks up 3,000,000 miles oi service as the north- and south-bound units passed at the tiny town of Ridge, Florida, recently. Now z vital link in the north-south traffic artery along the east coast, the Meteor today has “gone to war”, is trans porting key Army, Navy, and Industrial persr: —,el between ezs'-coast production-centers, and is popular as well with service men at the scores of carnps along its route. ■* ** The rear car of a similar train, the Silver Meteor, was wrecked recently when a freight train ran I Methodist Church Sunday is Father’s Day.

Finch, leader. Mrs. G. S. Barbee, president, held the business part at the be ginning of the program. Mrs. Finch had the devotional, assisted by Mrs. Kitching and Mrs. Whitley Chamblee. Mrs. B. F. Boone gave a most interesting talk of the National Assembly of Meth odist Woman, first of its kind since the unification of Metho dism at Columbus, Ohio. Twelve members were present. William Cheeves Speaks to Rotary Zebulon Rotarions continue to j hold hundred percent meetings. William Cheeves had the program I and gave a demonstration of boy ! scopt work, having several scouts express themselves as to their progress, which was gratifying. j Leaders Cheeves and R. D. Mas sey have given much time and , thought to this work, and it is cer tain that tHeir efforts have not been wasted as nothing pays greater returns than helping youth on the right road. Leon Thompson, five minute speaker, also discussed scout work, telling what the organiza tion meant to him when a boy. Ferd Davis was leaving for service in the Army. His loss will be felt for he was a good Rova rian and we need more like him. His leaving does not erase his name from our roll, for it will he j kept and on his return he will again be in full standing. Each member gave him the best of wishes with a handshake of fare- i well.

The super- J Fill That Coal Bin Now Government officials are again | urging that all consumers fill j ! their coal bins as soon as pos- j sible. There is no coal shortage, and there won’t be—the coal in dustry is completely able to fill war demands and normal de mands alike. But, if we wait un til winter before ordering, a se rious strain on our transportation systems will result. So if you use coal, call your dealer today. Wheat Exchange Rock Ridge Roller Mills k rated down in Wilson County, one of the best flour mills in thi« sec tion of the state, are opening a wheat exchange in Zebulon. It is located at Philette’s service sta tion. They will take your wheat and give you good flour or feed in exchange, or pay cash for it. This exchange will be a great convenience to this section. Mr. G. R. Boyette or R. W. Peed will be in charge of the local ex change. IIMAKAC “Whatever advice you give, be short ” —Horace 1 JUNE 16—War declared on Eng- I land < 1812 - Mm.

Number 46 More Sugar To Be Given For Your Canning For the convenience of families living at a distance from Raleigh sugar allotment centers have been set up in some schools. At Wake lon on Wednesday and Thursday of this week workers were busy filling out blanks and figuring pounds per family. In order to make the duties of this committee as nearly easy as possibly the fol lowing explanation and advice should be carefully read. 1— This .is MOST IMPORTANT! No certificate for canning sugar will be issued to any person until the war ration books are present ed. Take all belonging to the fam ily as all names must be written with the serial numbers on the back of the application that goes back to federal headquarters. 2Be ready to tell those doing the work how many quarts fruit and vegetables were canned at your home last year, and how many quarts were used. They also must know how many were left over, but may prefer to do their own subtracting to find that out. No mention is made of pickles, but you must tell how many quarts of preserves, jams and jellies were made, eaten, or j left over. 3- is to be made part ly on a basis of last year’s can ning; but you will not be allowed more than a half-cup of sugar to a quart of any fruit, and there is no sugar allowed for canning veg tables. No one person will be al lotted more than eight pounds of sugar for canning, but each mem ber of a family has an allowance as with the war ration book. For preserves only one pound of sugar is to go to a person. 4- Certificates will state at what time the sugar may be bought, and if the family is large, it will be better to buy more than once instead of all in one package. Ceertificates will be good for thir ty clays from date written. Although not compelled to do so, the local board plans to work after this week, They were fill ing out blanks all day Wednesday and Thursday. Later dates are: Tuesday afternoon, June 23, and Thursday, June 25, 2:00 till 5:00; Tuesday, June 30, and Thursday, July 2, 2:00-5:00 P. M. Cheerful co-operation on the part of the public will make this task much less difficult. Remem ber the committee has but little leeway; they carry out orders and do not make the rules. Their ser vices are given from a sense of duty and should be appreciated. Club Meeting Tfte June meeting of the Home Demonstration Club will be held at Wakefield next Wednesday p.m. the 24. A special feature of the program will be a talk by Mrs. Robert Edd Horton on Home Care of the Sick. This phase of home making is receiving much atten tion at present and all members are urged to be present. Mrs. Leonard, president, asks that all who have small quanti ties of rubber bring it in for sale together. Poke the fire, don’t oil it.
