r- i\ 3 This, That And A The Other |j By Mrs. Theo B. Davis |nj| In reading proofs of resolutions adopted by an organization of wo men I found they had decided to wear no sleeves that fail to cover the elbows; also that skirts must be “of sitting length.” I’ve puz zled over that. Just what length is sitting? It might be they must come below the knees when one sits down; but it might mean just long enough to sit on. Well, I don’t belong to that society, so will let them argue among themselves if there are any who don’t under stand the ruling. As I was ruefully looking at a j lot of onions that ran up to seed | from small roots instead of mak ing nice, big onions, along came j that Mr. Carter who works at Paul Brantley’s store. He told me if we had pinched out those bloom stalks, it would have discouraged the onions from going to seed and they would have gone back to j growing below the soil. It’s too! late to help this season, but here- j after just let an onion plant show j signs of blooming and I’ll be right there pinching. Beulah Finch Harper (Mrs. Carl) sent me a clipping from the Charlotte News with a delightful note saying she wanted me to know that paper had quoted from this column. It was the item about my bath suit of years ago. Beu lah said she, Nancy Brantly Rog ers (Mrs. Lonnie), and Mrs. Mo zelle Robertson Morris (Mrs. Neil), all living in Charlotte, are still Zebulonians at heart and are still deeply concerned about per sons and happenings here. They prove it by being subscribers to the Record. When the war is ov er, I mean to go to Charlotte and call on those three ladies AND the Charlotte News. It was Monday night and my husband was resting in his shirt sleeves. I had taken off the dress I had worn that day an old lav endar linen eight years old— and with a housecoat on was taking up the dress hem. It had been packed away more than two years, but you know how it is now about cloth. We heard voices at the door and there were Mrs. Clara Oakley with her son. about six or seven, her daughter, Lillian Pace, and a ; young man in a sergeant’s uni- j form. He was William Mitchell and he and Lillian wanted to be married. My husband put to them his usual question as to whether eith er had been married before and both said they had. He was sol emnly telling them he does not marry divorced persons, when Mrs. Oakley explained that they had married each other, had been divorced, and wanted to remarry. My husband got all excited and hastily called for me to come and ! be the second witness. I had been ! keeping out of sight, but without I taking time to dress, went and j stood behind the piano while the ceremony was being performed. Anyway I witnessed it. The young Oakley son watched closely at first, then bent over and took off his shoes. Mrs. Oakley looked nice and behaved beautifully. Both bride and bridegroom wore their dress uniforms. His was like many others I’ve seen, but Lillian’s was one of the new kind they are issuing for WAC’s, and was beautiful. They were one of the best looking couples I ever saw. Flowers in the room were blue hydrangeas and the first gladioli I’ve had to open this year, put in that morning. To make the story complete, the wedding fee. which was given to me, is going towards a war bond in the present drive. And I have gratified a long-lived desire to write up one* wedding exactly as it was. I hope the principals will not mind. VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL Commencing next Monday, June 19, the Church Vacation Bi ble School will be held at Wake field Baptist Church. The school will open at 9; 00 o’clock. All the children of the community be tween the ages of 4 and 16 are urged to attend. THE ZEBULON RECORD Volume 20.

Sad tie Mk*/- BUY MORE THAN BEFORE BIG BOND AUCTION AND RALLY TO BE HELD HERE SATURDAY AFTERNOON Camp Butner Band And War Machines To Be Present On Saturday, June 17, Zebulon is planning the largest bond auc tion sales that has been held here. Dr. L. M. Massey, chairman of the Little River Township Fifth War Loan Drive, announces that an army band from Camp Butner will be on hand to give a concert just before the auction sale at 3 o’clock in the afternoon. Mr. Os car Pitts, who has so successfully led in previous bond sales, will be present to help direct the sales. Also R. O. Heater, rural division leader will be on hand to help put Little River’s allotment—sl36,B7s —over the top. Mrs. Irby Gill will have her corps of workers present to help in the sale of bonds. The army will have present a demonstration of storming fortifi cations such as were actually at tacked by our troops in France. Many of the weapons employed will be seen in use. Come and see War Bonds at work! At the auction sale, which be gins at 3:00 o’clock, 100 prizes will be given to those who buy bonds. Also Wakelon Theatre will give a free ticket to see a good picture, “A Guy Named Joe,” which shows on June 22, to everyone buying a Zebulon, N. C., Friday, June 16, 1944 bond before or at the auction sale next Saturday. Join the crowd, see the sights, buy bonds! Let no man or woman in Little River Township, who has a boy in camp or on the battle front, make a mistake. Perhaps the big gest thing you can do for your boy now, in his most dangerous hour, is to buy extra War Bonds for yourself and persuade others to buy them. To do this may save your son and help bring victory, through providing baitle equip ment and munitions which are ab solutely necessary to the prosecu tion of the war. The Fifth War Loan drive will be watched eagerly by all our men in service, and its success will be real tangible evidence that the home front is solidly behind them. We cannot let them down; so buy War Bonds now. It may require sacrifice, but remember our sons are offering their lives. Can we do less than offer money? Come to Zebulon Saturday afternoon. Come prepared to buy at least one War Bond. And then go home feeling you have at least done your bit for the boys in service and the country you love. HELP WANTED FOR OUR SOLDIERS This appeal is written to all wiio are able to give a little time or a great deal of time to making ban dages for the Red Cross. Wake County is asked to send 1.000 ban dages immediately, 'With more to follow as fast as possible. One hundred million are wanted this month and only the Lord knows how many will be needed in July. August. September and till af ter the war is ended. Some sew ing rooms in this country have clos ‘d for the summer but they are counting on Wendell and Zeb ulon to keep open and at work. There are only three machines in the sewing room now, but more will be placed later. The work may be taken home, as once learn ed it is simple. It is the long rows of stitching that take so much time. The sewing room at the Woman’s Club is open all day i Tuesdays and Fridays and on Tuesday nights. And, if you real ( ly find some other day more con : venient, arrangements can be • made for that. New supplies have “ come in and cutting is being done in advance. It is not for Zebulon nor the $1.50 Per Year, Payable In Advance Purchase A Sticker Or Face The Judge Commissioner of Internal Rev enue Joseph D. Nunan, Jr., has announced that auto use tax stamps in the denomination of $5.00 were placed on sale in all postoffices and offices of Collect ors of Internal Revenue on Satur day, June 10. The stamps will evidence payment of the tax for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 1944, and must be purchased on or before that date. The stamps will be serially numbered, will be gummed on the face, and will have provision on the back for en try of the make, model, serial number and state license number of the vehicle. Mr. Nunan said that, to guard against loss or theft, it has been suggested that, when affixing the stamps, the vehicle owner should dampen the windshield rather than the adhesive- side of the stamp. This method has been rec ommended to keep the stamp in tact upon the windshield. As an additional precaution, it has also been suggested that each motor vehicle owner should make a rec ord of the serial number which appears on the use tax stamp for protection in the event the stamp should become lost. Every owner of a motor behicle which is used on the highways should call at his local postoffice or at the office of the Internal Revenue Collector and secure a $5.00 use tax stamp and affix it to his vehicle on or before July 1, 1944, the Commissioner said. The various postoffices will sell the stamps over the counter for cash only and no mail order business with respect thereto will he con ducted by the post offices. Col lectors of Internal Revenue are authorized to accept cash, post office money orders, and certified checks in payment of the use tax stamp. Uncertified clocks will not be accepted. Sale of the less than 55 denomi nation use tax stamps n post of fices has been discontin led. Such offices will stock the 5 5 denomi nation stamps only and motor ve hicle owners liable for payment of use tax for periods of less than a full year must obtain their stamps in lesser denominations from the Collector of Internal Revenue. It is the desire of the Bureau of Internal Revenue that the use tax stamp shall be placed on the windshield in a location that will not be in conflict with State re quirements. Mr. Nunan stresses the fact that the use tax law has not been repealed and cautions motor vehicle owners that failure to purchase and display the new use tax stamps on vehicles using the public highways after July 1, 1944, will subject the violators to severe penalties imposed by law.
