NEWS: SECOND CLASS POST OFFICE IN A FIRST CLASS TOWN - ZEBULON £Lu' jgeimlnn IRmirit Volume XV. This, That and the Other By MRS. THEO B. DAVIS Years ago in Newton I learned to make what they called slum- j mery. It is one of the simplest des serts possible, but is good. You use berry juice, or cherry juice, and I also press through the colander all the pulp that will go. | Bring the juice and the pulp to a boil, sweetening as desired, if the sugar holds out. Thicken with corn starch or flour moistened with w r ater or more juice and boil till thick. Spices or other flavoring may be added with a pinch of salt. When cold it should be al most stiff enough to stand alone. Serve with cream or milk. You may beat it as it cools, beating cream in, too; but it is hardly worth the extra time and trouble. If blackberries are used for the flummery , you may give some to the baby. I have found by experiment that you can use powdered sac charine in the recipe for “eight day pickle”, that has beenpublish ed in this paper several times. Use barely a level teaspoonful in place of a pound of sugar and add spices as usual. These men of broad and far vision who are right now deeply concerned with the kind of peace that is to follow this war may be. of bigger calibre than I ; but to me they act somewhat like a man who, finding his home on fire, sits down at once and begins drawing plans for a new one,! without first getting his wife and children out of the burning build ing. ..It is good to think of the ( future and its needs; but this pre sent day has extreme and fierce demands on our every effort. Have you noticed that almost! every magazine you read has on it’s July cover a flag? The flag is always popular for July, but this year more than ever. And if you are like me, you view it with an; eye different from any year pre ceding this. It is like not realiz ing how deeply you love your mother until you know she is critically ill. Y<>u realize you have never wholly deserved what she did for you and long to show your devotion in some tangible way. He spoke truly who said that the flag has no character on earth except what we put into it. And if we are able to tell in words all that it means, our feelings lack depth. But often now I wonder what my own • contribution has been, if any. Not by my own choice am I a citizen of this coun try instead of Greece, Czechoslo vakia, Poland, or any other ravag. ed by war. But I’ve done little to prove my gratitude and pride. The fourth of July this, year will be a strange holiday, if not to all a sad one. With Japan now hold ing six times as much territory as her entire area was less than a year ago; with Germany winning inEgypt and meeting defensive (Continued on page 5) O Zebulon Office Is Busy During Last Six Months; More Pay Is Now Given On July 1 Zebulon was advanc ed to a second class post office. While the town has an unusual a mount of mail, the three rural routes carry out thousands of let ters and newspapers each week and bring other thousands in to be sent away. Also the Bunn post office is served through Zebulon. The two clerks, Mrs. Douglas Finch and Miss Ruby Dawson now come under civil service regula tions, working 40 hours a week with one day off. They also have a small salary increase. A sub stitute clerk will be employed who will work two days a week. The salary of postmaster Sexton is ad vanced from $2,300. to $2,400. The number of hours in which the office is open has been in creased. There are probably few towns in North Carolina, the size of Zebulon that have as high rating an amount of mail han dled as in Zebulon. And not as news, but something the public already knows, Zebulon has one of the most efficient and courteous post office forces to be found anywhere. Baptist Church Friday night of this week will be the closing message in the week of Evangelistic Preaching. At this j time Dr. Hugh A. Ellis of Wilson will preach. All are invited at eight-thirty.

Mr: Luther Massey sang several selections which were much en joyed. Luther Massey was the speaker for Friday evening, June 20. His subject being “What makes Ro tary Tick”. Luther said that 50 per cent join for fellowship. 30 per-cent for inspiration, stimula tion and idealism in service. The first Rotary Club was organized in Feb. 1905. Luther stated that Rotary did not operate for show but was something that cultivated in the hearts and souls of men. Al ways keeping before men’s minds the highest ideals, service to one’s fellowman. Still more interna tional Rotary has shown how men of different opinons and different races, content to lead their own lives and follow their own loyal ties , have been able to come to gether, comprehend one another’s problems, and work them out through better understanding. ' Every member has been bene, sited and is being benefited by social contact. It is the best place (Continued on page 5) Zebulon, N. C., Friday, Julj 3, 1942 OFFICIAL U. S.
