©he Zebulmt Jlerorii Volume XIX. This, That and the Other By MRS. THEO B. DAVIS At Durham Wednesday of last week the bus station was so crowded with those coming, go ing, or wanting to go that they had to put on an extra bus for the run to Raleigh. I was among those who had to wait and when the second bus. was being loaded there was such a dash for it I hes itated for a moment and at my side a slim young sergeant of the Air Corps said to me, “If we don’t hurry, we may not get on this one.” I replied that since I was not in a desperate rush I was thinking it might be well to give first chance to those who seemed on urgent business bent. “Lady,” he said, taking my elbow, “every body who travels these days is on urgent business. Come on.” We made it and didn't have to stand up as a few late comers did. The boy was on furlough and I hope he enjoys each minute of its time, though I've no idea who he was. On the bus between Lynchburg and Durham I overheard two men talking just back of me. The younger bragged a bit about his business, then asked the older whether he thought money put into war bonds will be repaid. The old man said if it is not, we shall be as well off as if we had n’t invested that way because if the Government goes broke we shall all be in the same fix. The young man went on to say com placently that if every one did as much as he had done, the Gov ernment would be mightily help ed up; but that he didn’t be grudge it, even if he never got it back; that a fellow ought to do his part. He added pridefully that he owned ten dollars worth of bonds. I think he must have had stamps in mind. The elder listener, who had pre viously said he was out of work just then, remarked quietly that he had bought four twenty-five dollar bonds, one each for him self, his wife and his two children under twenty-one. He added that he had managed to get on with out their cost and planned to buy more as soon as he could after, getting back to work. The first speaker spoke as if a bit confused when he explained that he had been under ex penses at home and really meant to do more in the bond line later. . One more paragraph concerning the war. Nothing has thrilled me more than the following incident: A young man who was called * went before his local board and was asked whether he wanted de ferment. The chairman explained that since the draftee worked in an essential industry he had the right to make such a request. The young citizen, not much past his twenty-first birthday, replied that he was reader to go. “I did not volunteer,” he said, "but wait ed to be drafted. I do have a good job, but I feel that a coun try which gives a fellow the chance I’ve had is worth stopping everything else to fight for.” He goes to camp shortly. / SNot everybody with a dollar to spare can shoot a gun straight—but everybody ean shoot straight to the bank and r buy War Hoads.

Volunteers Save Old Warehouse From Destruction Kitchings and Hopkins Are Stars As Locals Win Over Fiames Fast work on the part of the Zebulon Volunteer Fire Depart ment saved the empty warehouse across on the South Side of the railroad from possible complete destruction early Tuesday morn ing when a fire of undetermined origin caused only slight damage to the front of the building. Leonard Lewis, night police man, spotted the fire as it first started, while making his rounds. He ran to the fire station, gave the alarm, and went to work starting the truck. Ed Kitchings and Willie B. Hopkins were very helpful in handling the hose. After an investigation. Fire Chief A. S. Hinton said that the blaze was probably started by a cigarette. The building belongs to Bernice Bunn, who lost heavily when an (ther warehouse containing much merchandise was struck by light ning and burned a short time ago. John Sumner Is Program Leader John Sumner had the program at the last Rotary meeting, dis cussing probable post-war busi ness conditions and the advance ment of civilization. He compared conditions of twenty years ago with those oftoday and contrast ed traveling then and now as to method and distances, showing that a journey across states this year is no more noteworthy than was one of thirty miles two dec ades ago. Business, particularly banking, is more stable now than formerly, unsound banks being closed by the Government. Civilization has made vast strides through schools and mechanical progress. A like improvement in the next twenty years may be more than one could well conjecture. The talk was in teresting and enjoyable.

Finch Is Program Director For 1942 Opening Wakelon School had its formal opening Tuesday morning, which does not mean that thousands of details are not yet to be looked after with consequent changes or adjustments. But the opening was unusually impressive. On the rostrum with the new superintendent, B. K. Miller, were Chairman F. D. Finch, who di rected the program; Dr. L. M. Massey, representing the State Board of Education; County Supt. Randolph Benton, and C. V. Whitley of the County Board; J. K. Barrow of the local Board; Pastors B. F. Boone and G. J. Griffin of the town churches. In the audience were J. T. Knott and C. S. Chamblee, also members of the board. After the singing oi one stanza of America the Beautiful, Pastor Boone read from the first chapter of John's gospel and prayer was led by Pastor Griffin. Chairman Finch in a brief address stressed the fact that unusual and abnor mal situations have been forced upon us by the present world cri ses, demanding the best in coop eration and sacrifice. He empha sized self-discipline as highly commendable cooperation. Mr. Benton, after pleasant greet ings and felicitations, discussed four principles he believes essen tial today. These are: charac ter, which must be the basis of conduct; fortitude, or the ability to take what comes and keep on trying; faith in our country, its leadership and its future, and in Gbd. He gave striking references from history of previous times when many felt that chaos was ( not far off, but whose opinions were wrong, and stated his belief that boys and girls of today can take what comes. Supt. Miller, introduced by Mr. Benton as a man respected and loved in his former home, worthy of full trust by patrons and pu pils, took only a few minutes to greet those present before making necessary announcements. Teachers were introduced and a list of those not already mention ed in this paper will be printed soon. Mr. Finch expressed grati fication that a majority of the former faculty returned.
