Slhr 2 elm Id at Volume XIX. This, That and the Other By MRS. THEO. B. DAVIS (In the absence of Mrs. Theo. B. Davis, who is on vacation, this column was penned this week by the Editor.) PINCH HITTERS Years ago when I heard the ex pression “pinch hitters,” I had the impression that a pinch hit ter was a ball player who was put in in • the place of a sorrier one when the team was in a pinch and needed some one to pull them out of the hole with a home run or something of the kind. The full meaning did not break on me till one night when the leader of the Missionary Society in a church nearby called Mrs. Davis and ask ed her if she could speak to the members at their next meeting. She explained that she had tried everywhere to get a satisfactory speaker, and, having failed, was asking her. So with this explana tion I proceed. You see Mrs. Davis is spending a week with kinsfolk in Virginia. Barry, Sel ma and I all agreed to write T. T. and O. this once, for her. We are all pinch hitters. But Selma says she can't think of a thing, while Barry says he is still thinking about something to write. May I explain to our readers that it is not that my w.fe knows more than I do, but she can tell what she knows better. APPLE SAUCE HINT A letter from Bessie’s sister Byrd, who lives near Washington, sends this “hint,” as she calls it, on cooking. I am sure you wo men may try it without risk of loss. Byrd is a good cook, though perhaps not quite as good as mine. She says, “Here is an apple sauce hint: Use Blue Label Karo to sweeten it, but don’t put it in till the sauce is done. Then add Ka ro and boil till as thick as desired. It is better than if sweetened with sugar.” It sounds good. Try it. REMOVING PEACH STAINS Mrs. W. K. Ballentine of Mid dlesex sends this recipe for peach stains: For taking peach stains out of garments. Before wetting gar ments with stains, pour boiling water over them and let stand un til cold. Be sure to cover gar ment or parts stained. RECIPROCATING While I was standing in front of the ’Philette Service Station the other day a car drove up in front of the ABC store. Mr. Cheeves out, went back in the store, re turned with a small package wrapped in paper and handed it to the woman in the car. She turned and drove westward. When I called the attention of one of the service men to this he said: “You know the Wendell women who drink buy their liquor in Zebulon and the Zebulon women buy theirs in Wendell.” But I noticed that this particular woman turned down main street in Zebulon.

Since the time is so short no (Continued on page 2) Share-A-Ride Is Not Doing Well Whether because, no one is go ing to Raleigh in private cars, or because the persons who are driv ing cars are too filled up or sel fish to share a ride, the sum total of names of people who are will ing to take another person to Ral eigh as copied off the board in the Post Ofice is as follows: “0” This plan was originated by City Manager Leon Thompson with the idea in mind of saving gas and oil. There is nothing wrong with the idea. It is good. But some thing is definitely wrong with the people of Zebulon. It is no trouble to place your name, the time you are planning to leave, and the number of pas sengers you can take when you are making a trip to Raleigh. The board is up on the Post Office wall and is now ready for use. Let’s use it. \ umher J Was World War I Veteran; Fought In Front Line Trenches Last rites for Albert V.
