This, That And The Other By Mrs. Theo. B. Davis One of the words I get worried over at times is argumentative. I forget whether it is pronounced ar-gu-men-TA-tive or ar-gu- MEN-ta-tive. Saturday’s looking it up reminded that one should ac cent the men, not the (ft Gerry Parker told me about her little niece, Jo Crowder, not yet two, and very plump, who heard the Wicker baby crying and at once began wailing loudly and pleading, ’’Poor little fat baby, don’t cry!” And Jo knows her “ABC’s” already. Some niece, isn’t she! I noted that Hilda Winstead was toastmistress at Wakelon’s junior senior banquet Friday night. She is the youngest of twelve Winstead brothers and sisters to finish at Wakelon. And every one of them was good in glee club and on the stage while in school. I wonder how many families can equal that record. Even before this paper goes to press I have found the Winstead record equalled. There are twelve of the E. P. Denton children and the youngest, Dorothy, is a mem ber of the same class as Hilda Winstead. The eleven older Den tons have graduated from Wake lon. I move that next year at commencement some special at tention be paid the Winstead and Denton parents. Margaret Smethurst says in Sunday’s News and Observer: “With the Wake County Red Cross quota still unmet, a new Easter outfit is going to be a questionable possession in any pa rade in these parts.” She adds that the question is not whether we can afford to give or would like to give; but whether we are willing to weaken or break the one sure connecting l'nk between ourselves and members of our family in service. Mr. Sumner told me Sunday that the quota from this com munity is far from raised. If we don’t do our best, how can we ask the Red Cross to serve us in sick ness 01 death? Last Saturday I wanted an ar- i rangement of yellow flowers and, having nothing else, went to the garden and cut the blossoming | stalks of collards and turnips. In a low glass bowl with my crystal swan at one side and carrot tops furnishing the “fern”, they were beautiful. If you don’t believe me. try it. The collard blooms are enough larger and paler in color to add variety; and, if you didn’t know, you'd think the turnip blooms yellow alyssum. Anyway, why shouldn’t w’e use vegetable flowers? Sage has a pretty flowering spike of blue; the salad pea has clusters of lav ender and purple that equal old fashioned sweet peas in beauty; onions have lovely globe-shaped clusters of bloom. And since nas turtiums, chrysanthemums, vio lets and roses are used in salads or confections, we might swap about. Rhubarb is coming up in our garden, and, if you want it, let me know. We don’t have enough su gar to use much of it this spring, but I hate to see it go to waste. And one more word about wilt ed lettuce. Several have asked how it is prepared. You use only the loose leaves, not the headed lettuce. Have the leaves as fresh and crisp as possible. Chop them in a bowl with a spring onion or two—or as many onions as you like. Fry bacon and take out the meat when cooked. To the grease in the pan add some salt and top milk or cream enough to make the liquid necessary to moisten the lettuce. Some like to add vinegar also. Let all boil up and pour it over the chopped lettuce. At once put a tight cover over the bowl and let it stand a few minutes be fore serving. You’ll either like it very much or will turn up your nose at it. O, yes; you can use ham gravy instead of bacon, if you’re lucky enough to have ham. The disposition to give a cup of cold water to a disciple, is a far nobler property than the finest in tellect. —Howells. THE ZEBULON RECORD Volume 20.

Bunn of Zebulon. now in the Na | vy, as having been granted li cense to marry. In the same pa per was a picture of Bunn kissing l his bride goodbye as she left after enlisting as a WAC. Some confu sion was caused here by the news, as the only Wilton Bunn readily ! called to mind is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Lorenzo Bunn, only 17, and a very recent naval recruit. However, it has been learned that the Army’s way of calling every man by his first name caused the misunderstanding. Wilton N. Bunn is Norris Bunn of the Hales Chapel community, son of Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Bunn. Tar Heel Family Suffers Tragedy In Delhi, Canada The wife and three of the chil dren of Bernice T.

FUTURE FARM PRODUCTION j The Secretary of Agriculture wonders “how much the Ameri can farmers can produce when this war is over and they are able to obtain enough help, machinery and materials,” and take full ad vantage of technological develop ments. In his investigation he has concluded that so much progress has been made in agriculture that within the next six years the in- ; crease in our national production will be €0 per cent. Zebulon, N.

HAVE PATIENCE ! “The idea that the United States is going to be a land of. milk and honey after the vir is a soap bubble theory. “It is just as well to begin to face the fact that we will have to pull in our belts several notches, because history always repeats its performance after the war.” Mighty right, brother. Heaven ly conditions are still far, far away for us sinners. $1.50 Per Year, Payable In Advance $2291.84 Is Raised By Local Red Crossers The 1944 Red Cross War Fund Campaign came to a close on March 31st.

The total of $2291.84 was raised and the following are the amounts solicited by each of the section leaders: Special Gifts— R. Vance Brown, leader, assist ed by, C. V. Whitley, R. H. Brid gers, Rev.

Richardson leader, assisted by Mrs. Christine Locke, Daisy Fowler, Lena Ivory, Saile Sills, J. A. Gresham, U. G. Jones. As everyone knows, our goal was much greater than for an*r preceding year and many of us j thought that it was twice as great as it should have been, however, none of us would have appreciated our responsibility had it been a figure below that of an average for a sectional like area .In other words, had we been assigned a quota of S2OOO we would have j worked for this amount just as j hard as for that actually raised. Again it is regretted that we failed to reach our quota, but I feel that not only those who ac tually participated in the drive, but also those which contributed to this most, worthy cause are to be highly commended. —John Sumner. Soldiers Save s2o,oooMonthly By Salvaging Headquarters, European Thea ter of Operations.—Nearly $20,000 a month is being saved for the Government by a United States Army quartermaster depot unit in England which reclaims damaged gasoline cans. Most vs the salvaged cans are United States Army “Americans,” but the plant also repairs contain ers sent in by the British Army. “A few of the men in the unit have had prior welding experi ence,” said Captain Wright, “but most of them never handled this type of equipment until they were trained by the Army.” North Carolina Wendell: Corporal Julian P.
