: This, That And The Other By Mrs. Theo. B. Davis The son who is in the Pacific area wrote me that the tent in which he lives when not in an airplane has a floor made of ma hogany two-by-fours. Such ele gance for one who had not even a mattress for a good—or bad — while. But he said the mahogany was cheap and plentiful there. I don't want to cheat the gov ernment, but, if Ferd sticks a splinter into his foot, I hope he saves it for me. Last week when I went up to Wakelon to make a short talk at chapel I was s much impressed by the behavior of the high school pupils. Arriving about five min utes before chapel time, I was in vited into Mr. Miller’s office to wait. Presently in came a boy who introduced himself and said he would like to show me to my place in the auditorium. Right up to the front he escorted me and when I ascended the steps to the rostrum the three boys up there rose and stood until I was seated. Then the youth who was master of ceremonies for the day announced the song to be sung. Another stu dent played the piano. The sec ond boy on the rostrum read a portion of scripture and led in prayer. I was presented in a few well-chosen wmrds. I was heard with either remarkable attention or remarkable acting. The teachers sat back of the as sembled pupils and not one took part on the program. All students left the room quietly, some com ing by to thank me for going up there. And I was sincerely glad to have gone. They made me feel better. When Miss Mary Curtin of our State W. M. U. staff spoke to the Baptist women Monday she told of a conversation she overheard on a bus. Two women were talking about a third, and one said, “Yes, jhe’s got plenty of book sense, but she ain't got a bit of living sense.” Can't you just see her! All educated and no idea how to use v. hat she has learned. Loveliest thing I’ve seen this week was Monday when I look d at Mrs. Victoria Gill’s bridal wreath spirea, so full of bloom it was a mass of snowy white nestled close against a tall cedar. As I passed a bluejay alighted on a twig and the sun shone so that the birds plumage gleamed. Zebulon is beautiful now with japomca, red buds, magnolia, spi rea. forsythia, crabapple, and flowering almond gaily calling for admiration. I’m so glad they don’t know there’s a war on; or do they know, and are they try ing to comfort us? Special Service Is Held At Middlesex On Sunday. March 26, at the evening service of the Middlesex Bapti t Church, a special service was g'ven in honor of the boys in our armed forces from Middlesex and the immediate communities. The pledges to the Christian and American flags were given by a girl and boy alter they marched up {he aisle, each bearing a lighted candle. The names of the boys from there in service were called out and as this was done a close rela tive came and placed a small American flag in a large white V (for Victory) at the front in honor of that boy. A total of 168 flags were placfed in this V. The candle light service was used; and it was indeed a very im pressive service honoring these boys. The house was filled to ca pacity. The service flag bearing the! names of thirteen boys who are members at Middlesex was also i dedicated at this time. The boys of the Free Will Bap tist Orphanage were remembered j and Bro. James Evans of the Or phanage offered a special prayer foß* all our boys in the armed forces. THE ZEBULON RECORD Volume 20. No. 32 Roht. Edd Horton Rotary Speaker At the last Rotary meeting Rob ert Edd Horton spoke to members on the importance of a victory garden, giving reasons why every one should grow vegetables this year. In addition to having fresh vegetables, the gardener may save money and also help in the war effort by releasing supplies else where, Much must be done to j feed our eleven million men in I service.

I think we have all seen homes whore people are constantly bit ing each other, so-to-speak, “bit ng back." Perhaps, if we look to the d ; et, we may find the answer, for human beings need as good j food as the pig and the cow and other farm animals. Can't waste anything today, - ■ vor cake that has gone dry. It can be made to taste like it has lust been baked. Wrap it in a damp cloth and put it in a slightly warm oven unt’l the cloth is dry. Just like new. Try it! To repair edges of a rug that are worn or frayed. buttonhole *he edges with heavy yarn or a heavy cord placed along the edge ; nd bound to the rug with yarn. For glamour through grooming, 'earn to do bv doing: hands clean j and well-cared-for nails; clothes brushed, pressed, and neat: stock ings freshly laundered with, straight seams; shoes shined, heels even. Don’t neglect good grooming at any age. Keep the hair clean and neat in styling: the skin clean and clear, with natural appearing make-up. i “Oh. look at that dirty ink spot on your clean white cloth.’’ Don’t be alarmed. Just soak it in pure ammonia for a few minutes and presto,—it’s gone. Now rinse it in J cold water. j 1 $1.50 Per Year, Payable in Advance | School Kews Last Friday morning at the reg ular high school assembly period the Juniors presented a one-act play entitled Percy Propones.

Hilda Baker read the devotional lesson after which Betty Lou Blackley presented Mr. Herring. The high school boys and girls al ways enjoy having Mr. Herring talk to them whenever he can be with us and his discussion this week was especially helpful. Expiration Dates Expire Theodore S. Johnson, Raleigh i OPA district director, has an- I nounced that expiration dates for i food ration stamps are out for the j duration. Beginning in April. red and blue stamps in War Ration Book : N .
