: This, That And : The Other Bv kins. Theo. B. Davis Last Thursday night I asked my son Ted how much proof there was for me to read the next day. He said I’d have to go over the Wake Forest high school paper, and a set of statistical tables for associational minutes, and then added, “O. I forgot; you’ll have to correct the Gospel Truths. It did seem to me that gospel truths should certainly not need correc tion at my hand. The trouble was that humans had dealt with them. And anyway. Gospel Truths is the name of a little monthly magazine we print for publication else where. Want some mocking birds? I'd love to give away all those that live in our b>g holly tree at the kitchen < >or. They can never sing sv ly enough to make me forget how hateful they have been all winter. The tree is laden w'ith berries; so full that the mockers have made no perceptible inroad on them. Yet they are furious if other birds try to share the bounty, attacking viciously all that approach. They drove off the vanguard of waxwings, which pass yearly on their northward flight; they battle jays, thrashers, robins and cardinals. Between fights they sing sweetly and, I fancy, triumphantly. I hate to see such greediness. Other birds need the berries. Fin ally. brethren, if birds don’t eat them, I shall have to gather up laboriously and dispose of gallons of berries after they fall. And never a friend stuck so close to one as does a holly berry to the soft soil under the tree. If you are one of those lucky persons who have good patches of turnip greens, why not can what you don’t need now? Proceed as for snap beans, except that you should take care to pack loosely in the jars. Boil three hours for quarts. When you already have a fire going, there’s no extra fuel used, and there’ll come a day when it will be mighty convenient to open a can instead of going to the garden—in case there is any thing in the garden to go for. Dreadful as was the accident last July when more than four hundred of our paratroopers were killed by our own men. it is not so wholly terrible as is the atti tude of many with regard to help in the struggle. Killers and killed in that tragedy were alike trying to obey orders; nobody meant to shirk or fail. And even had a son of mice lost his life there. I should remember that. But when one suHa mfuge evasion of duty, patronizing of black markets and hears or over hears remarks and conversations prov'ce the speakers think them selves either privileged characters or shrewd jugglers of truth—not to sav successful liars there comes the fearful realization that defeat would not be much worse than beine left to the mercy of such government as we’d have here, if those persons ran it. From a letter written by a sol dier overseas the fol’owing is quoted: “I hone that with elections just around tho corner, people won’t forget there are still two wars to be won. Think maybe if they knew the kind nf hcl] th« Infantry is going through in Italy, the Treasury Department would have no trouble filling bond quotas. The fighting is terrific and terrible up there.” Rut I can to sav to myself if I choosm that no member of my immediate family j<; in the Infan try. And if tho c e men die trying to protect me. why. it’s all in the day’s work. One must expect losses in a war. If I say that, I should not hope to see those men if they live to come back. MAJOR PATTERSON DEAD Major Patterson of the Hales Chapel community was buried at Hales Chapel church last week. He was 74 years old. His wife died several years ago as the result of an accident. He had been living with an adonted daughter, Mrs. Strickland. The funeral service was conducted by Revs. Theo. B. Davis and A. D. Parrish. THE ZEBULON RECORD Volume 2b.

C. t Friday, March 24, 1944 Dr. Bulls Writes Open Letter To Parents Os Pre- School Children Letter to: Presidents of Parent Teacher Associations and Parents. SUBJECT: Preschool Clinics. Dear Parents: This year, when we hold the j preschool chnie at your school, we are going to give the Schick Test, to the children of the Ist, 2nd, and 3rd grades to determine im munity or susceptibility to diph theria. At this time, we will give, with your permission, the Schick Test to your preschool child when he is examined so that you may know that he is immune to diph theria before he enters school. In the future, when the test is given j as a part of the preschool exami nation, it will not be necessary to give the test to the children of the Ist, 2nd. and 3rd grades. I think the examination of a child about ready to enter school for the first time is perhaps, in some respects, the most important examination he will ever have. I know it will be if it results in finding and removing physical handicaps which will aid growth and development, mentally and physically. The important thing to remember is that the child is a part of the school system—yes, an important part—and he should be equal in strength and vigor to benefit by the opportunities it of fers. It is important that you get in touch with some member of your Parent-Teacher Association and make definite arrangements to have your child examined be fore he enters school and to be present at the time of examina tion. This engagement at your school, is to give you an opportunity to come and bring your child and talk over with us his physical condition before he enters school. We will not do anything else but talk about his physical condition unless you want to—your request will be granted. The important thing is to come and bring your child. I am, Sincerely Yours, A. C. BULLA, M. D„ Health Officer, Wake County. Clinics will be held at Wendell School. Tuesday, April 4, 1944, at 10:30 a. m., and at Wakelon School, Tuesday, April 4, 1944, at 1:30 p .m.

Massey Dr. Massey had the Rotary pro gram last Friday evening with ■ The Inventor’* as subject. He spoke of creative ideas in men’s minds with regard to welfare, ed ucation. governm nt, vocations, etc., and not of the mechanical side. Man has at different times cre ated various forms of government to make all more nearly equal. He cited as example the fact that Russia has in fairly recent years tried and discarded forms of gov ernment and today has even the U.S. beat in some ways as regards democracy. Nor is it meant that man should be a slave to his work. Though habit is hard to break the Creator intended for his creatures to find satisfaction in their tasks. I ~ Wednesday afternoon from Friendship Free Will Baptist Church, conducted by the Rev J B. Ferrell and the Rev. M. E. God win. Interment was in the church cemetery.

Misses Deane Hardison, Ruth Smith, An nie Lou Alston, and Gwen Potter Wanderer Returns Snooks, the big Coltrane collie, is at home again after an absence of more than two months. Where he has been no one here knows. There are few in Zebulon un acquainted with Snooks. Friendly and peaceable, he accompanied Dr. Coltrane on long walks, paid short visits to neighbors, conducted himself ns a middle-aged gentle man. His disappearance caused genuine grief, but all efforts failed to reveal his whereabouts, ahd he was counted as dead. Last Sunday afternoon the bark of a dog was heard in the Coltrane yard and Mrs. Coltrane said it sounded like Snooks. Her husband said of course it was not; but, un convinced. the lady of the house went to the door—and it was Snooks. He was in good condition, his coat was clean, and except for a limp which seemed to have been caused by an injury to his hip, he was entirely well. And, strange to say. although the day was so rainy the dog’s hair was only slightly damp, as though he had come not more than a block. Did someone accidentally hurt the dog. take him home and look after him until well, then bring him home? Was he stolen and did he escape when those who had him we t re again passing through Zebulon? Mrs. House thinks per haps some one who had him saw “Lass e, Come Home,” was smitten with remorse and brought him back. Or did Snooks himself see that picture and resolve to stray no longer? Anyway, there was a royal wel | come awaiting the wanderer. Corinth Senior Play Coming March 31st The Senior Class of Corinth- Holder presents Spooky Tavern. on Friday night, March 31st.
