This, That and
the Other
By Mrs. Theo. B. Davis
Since first hearing of Harvest j
Sales at churches I have wanted
to attend one; but until last Fri- !
day there had been no chance to j
do so. Then, with a special invi
tation from the Thanksgiving Bap
tist Church in Johnston County, !
my husband and I joined the
crowd that assembled first as a
congregation in the church audi
torium and heard a sermon by Dr.
Forrest Feezor of Raleigh. Dr.
Feezor had chosen an appropriate
text—“Ye are God’s farms.” That
man knows a lot about farming
and used his knowledge to press
home the truths presented.
Thanksgiving church has been
moved to a new site, has been re
painted inside and out, a baptistery ;
has been installed and new carpet
bought. They were sorry the car
pet had to be sent back because it
was not the color ordered; but they
ought to be glad it didn’t have to
take the dirt all of us would have
carried in from the ground out
side that had been plowed in prep*
aration for planting shrubbery. Al- '
ready the church is unusually at- I
tractive, and when the landscap- |
ing is far enough along to show
up it will be still more beautiful, j
From the church we were invited
to a pine grove where there was
a barbecue pit under a shelter,
long tables and benches. In addi-
j f
tion to the barbecue and slaw there !
was a regular feast of chicken,
mutton, beef, ham, with salad 1
sandwiches, cakes and coffee—and !
it was all free. I saw a boy about
four earnestly at work upon a
plate of food. He had barbecue,
a chicken leg, some ham, a weiner,
two sandwiches, biscuit, pickle,
three pieces of cake. And I smiled
to hear an elderly lady tell several
persons in succession that she
didn’t eat much breakfast that
morning. She couldn’t have said
that about her dinner. However. {
there was food enough left to have
fed many more.
The auction began as soon as all
had eaten. The auctioneer was a
Mr. Sanders, but I don’t know
where he came from. He knew
his business and did faithful work.
He “cried” farm produce, pantry
supplies, vegetables, three bales of
cotton, honey, flowers, chickens,
collards, lightwood, straw brooms,
pigs, a calf. I saw a half-gallon
jar of pickled peaches go for
$ll.OO. A slatted sunbonnet and
apron to match, made of print,
brought $25.00 after being model
ed by a stout gentleman. A fat
’possum brought $8.50. A string
of popcorn was run up to $5.15.
Many other items brought about
what they would on the market.
A large table was filled with
cakes wraped in cellophane. Dr. 1
R. E. Earp had secured a special
allotment of sugar for those who
baked the cakes and each one was
a masterpiece. They brought from
$6.00 to about $3.00. Six pounds j
of honey was sold for $3.00.
We had to leave long before the
sale was over and I do not know 1
the total amount taken in. But I
have an idea Thanksgiving’s fi-
CHURCH NEWS
REV. BOONE LEAVING
Pastor B. F. Boone of the Meth- j
odist Church, having completed
four years of service here, has been
moved to Fairmont, a larger field
of work. The Boones have made
many warm friends in Zebulon
and Wendell and their going
brings sadness. This, however.
! will not interfere with the welcome
' extended the new pastor and wife,
the Rev. C. F. Vale and Mrs. Vale,
who come here from Murfrees
boro.
baptist church
On Sunday, Nov. 15, Men and
Missions Sunday will be observed
in the Zebulon Baptist Church.
This is a part of a nation wide
movement to call attention to the
value of missionary work in war
times. Churches in more than
2,500 cities and towns throughout
the country will participate in the
observance of this special day,
which is sponsored by the Lay
man’s Missionary Movement, an
inter-denominational organization
Will you come to.church Sunday?
Kennedy Home
Chorus To Sing
Over WPTF
A Chorus, composed of high
school boys and girls of Kennedy
Home, will be heard each Sunday
[ through December through WPTF,
Raleigh.
Pat Alderman is director.
The Kennedy Home is the east
ern branch of the N. C. Baptist
Orphanage. Since present condi
| tions make much travel impossible,
the management deeply apreciates
the opportunity afforded by WP
TF. Programs originate in the
I chapel at the Home and will
doubtless be heard with deep in
terest. Listen in at 1:15 p. m. each I
i Sunday of this year.
nances are pretty well taken care
of for another year.
Worthy of special mention was
the fellowship of the day. Dr. R.
E. Earp and Pastor Tom Freeman j
were no more cordial than were
less widely known members of the
church. All seemed genuinely
glad to greet visitors and each
other.
Os course there was much good
humored joking and laughter dur-
I ing the auction, but I did not hear
anything irreverent and not once j
did I hear the auctioneer urge any
one to buy because it was a church
sale.
In conclusion I pay tribute of
respectful admiration to those who
were at the head of arrangements
l for the ddy. Back of every success
must be thorough preparation, and
their task required enthusiasm,
wisdom and days of plain hard
work. For their example even
more than for my dinner, I thank
them.
Remember, you must send or take your
Basic Mileage Application to your local Board,
certifying that you do not own over 5 tires, or it
will be illegal for you to buy gasoline on or after
i; November 22.

MOSER SPEAKS AT MEET
At every meeting the Rotary
checks upon what is being done
and can be done in regard to scrap
iron and the s ties of war bonds,
'fhey are 100 per cent in this vital
matter and have gone far in ga
thering scrap iron and the sale of
bonds.
The following Rotarians are in
the armed forces: Ferd f)avis,
Barkton Antone and Bob Sawyer.
They will continue to be 100 per
cent members as long as they are
in service.
Professor Moser’s subject w r as
taken from the book of Job. It was
one of Job’s expressions when he
was in a despondent mood. As the
sparks fly upward so is man born
of trouble. He stated that man had
almost from his beginning tried
from time to time to work out
some theory whereby wars could
be prevented. Many philosophers
have written books on how to keep
peace on earth but all propositions
failed. Man was saying during the
world war one, that we were fight
ing to prevent war and that would
be the last war. In less than 20
years a second world war came
and it is expected to be worse than
the first. There will be other wars
too. It seems the instinct of man
to want some things that belong to
the other fellow. Professor Moser
stated that Christ in his sermon on
the Mount gave to man the only
philosophy he has ever known that
will prevent future wars. When
we can agree to go the extra mile,
then and then only will there be
everlasting peace.
Mr. Moser gave the Rotary Club
food for thought in regard to
world peace.

Scrap Campaign
Most Successful
In Town’s History
Probably no other campaign has j
aroused more interest or proved
so successful in North Carolina as
: the scrap campaign lately waged
j under the sponsorship of the news
papers of the state. Large prizes
were offered for the largest com
-1 munity and individual piles. These
j prizes were paid by contributions
from the newspapers. In addition
j to cash gifts, thousands of dollars
in advertising were spent by the
newspapers. The Zebulon Record
gave both cash and publicity to the
effort amounting to nearly SIOO.
The people* in the country re
sponded in a splendid way. Many
| individuals personally raised many
pounds of metal. Among these W.
I. Hopkins led with 13,925 pounds.
Cecil Hopkins came second with
13,125 pounds. Wakelon school
brought in 26,740 pounds, receiv
ing $149.74 for it. This will be used
in the purchase of library supplies.
I The town of Zebulon collected
43,965 pounds, receiving $246.20.
| There was about SIOO.OO paid out
in expenses. The balance will be
| used for any community need with
the approval of a committee of
| citizens selected for that purpose.!
The total amount of scrap collect- ;
ed was 97,755 pounds, bringing in
$547.41.
However, the campaign was not
ended. There is still considerable
; old iron and castings lying around
many homes that is useless except
for war purposes. Let everyone
keep a lookout for such, collect it
: together and then, when coming to
Zebulon, throw it in the car and
leave it at the town junk piles
oposite the town manager’s office.
One woman we know is picking
up every old rusty nail she sees ;
and will soon have several pounds
to bring in to help nail the hide of
I some Jap or German to the wall.
And each of us can do this, thus
1 helping in a practical way to win
j the war.
