This, That And The Other By Mrs. Theo B. Davis In weather such as we are hav ing now I take pleasure in re membering the seventh chapter of Revelation in which John de scribes the great multitude which no man could number, clothed in white robes and with palms in their hands. Especially do I like the promise “neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat.” Speaking of things Biblical re minds me that the Book of the Month Club chose Scholem Asch’s The Apostle for June’s offering. My son’s wife has it and I have begun reading about Paul, for he is the apostle mentioned in the title. It is too early for me to have a definite opinion of the book as a whole; but the beginning is fine. Always I love to read about Paul, and I have enjoyed the study of his life in the series of Sun day School lessons just ended. But I never understand all he was nor I all he meant. And to me it was pathetic to note how when he was old. sick and in prison he kept calling the young preacher Timothy his son. Although Paul declared years be fore that he had a right to lead about a wife, he never exercised that right, but remained a bache lor. Perhaps at the last he was even more lonely than he had thought he would be, and at times imagined how it would have been with a son of his own. The roads to Rome have seen horror and strife over and over. But surely the Appian Way has known no greater tragedy than when Paul was beheaded on it. And now Sunday School pupils go back to the study of the Israel ites in the Old Testament. I love that period of Jewish history. You remember last winter that we stopped those lessons with the burial of Moses by the angels. “On Nebo’s lonely mountain On this side of Jordan's wave; In a vale in the land of Moab.” We resume the lessons with Joshua as leader of his people. And we have a treat in prospect, provided we are willing to do some studying or even some care ful listening. You need not strain to find spiritual applications for all the passages from the Bible; read as you would the war bulle tins of today. In particular read and re-read “Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dis mayed.” A letter from the youngest son, now in Italy, said he listens to the German broadcasts and had just heard of the sinking (again) of the entire Pacific fleet by the Jap anese; also that broadcasts had told of the killing of about 200 per cent of the invading forces. Miss Dessie Perry Miss Dessie Pearl Perry, 33. died at Rex Hospital Tuesday af ter a lingering illness. Surviving are her father. L. A. Perry, of Route 3, Zebulon: two brothers, Raymond Perry of Zeb ulon. and Cpl. Chesley Wayon Perry, with the Army in the Pa fific; and a niece. Funeral services were con ducted "Wednesday afternoon at Hopkins Chapel Church. Burial was in the church cemetery.

Fifth War Bond Sale Goes Over Top Saturday was sunny and hot, but that did not prevent the Fifth War Bond Sale in Zebulon from going along with a big bang—the biggest sale of the five thus far. By three o’clock the Army band from Camp Butner had arrived, the truck loaded with prizes— something, as banker Brown said, of almost everything sold in Zebu lon stores—was placed at the place of the auction sale; Taylor’s sound truck was still blaring out its call to the folks gathered along the streets wherever there was a shade, to come and buy bonds J The band —a good one—paraded up and down the main business streets with honks, toots and booms a-plenty, and then settled in the shade of the Zebulon Sup ply Co.’s building, where from time to time music to cool the hot crowd sounded forth. Dr. Massey opened with an ap peal to every one to buy bonds, stressing the urgent need of funds just now to prosecute the war. Messrs. Moore and Banks of Ra leigh were the auctioneers and were good ones. Mr. Banks had been here in former sales, but Mr. Moore was new in Zebulon, but, as evidenced, not new at his job. Mr. R. O. Heater, the rural di rector. was present and helped put the sale over. A total of $62,500 worth of bonds were sold. Mr. Fred Page gave a German pipe which he brought back with him from the first World War, and wanted SIO,OOO for it. Avon Privette gave it and then some one accidentally broke it, but not beyond repair. The Peoples Bank and Trust Co., through Mr. Brown, said they would give a $25 bond if J. K. Barrow would buy it for SIO,OOO. Brown did, Barrow did, and the crowd applauded. A number of dollar bills were sold, bringing an average of SIOO. Cold drinks were in demand, bringing $25 or more. Many other prizes were given—a few’ of 1 them: coffee, cigarettes, lard, meat — hams and shoulders —rakes, brooms, syrup pitchers, photos, stock powders, hose, egg baskets, and a great many other articles contributed by business firms. Everybody seemed to have a good time. Little River’s allotment is $136.- 875. No canvassing has been done in the country, but the local com mittee will continue the campaign until the township is covered. This Fifth Bond Sale so far is the best yet—the amount subscribed Saturday being “he most of any auction sale of five held. So, the people are asked to continue their efforts to raise the total allotment. Don’t wait for the Committee to come to see you. You may buy bonds-—any amount from $25 up to a million! $18.75 will pay for a $25 bond: $75 w’ill buy a hun dred dollar bond. People who wish to make a good investment should buy bonds. Should an emergency arise, the bank will gladly make a loan on your bonds. Bonds are on sale at the local bank and the Zebulon post office. Baptist Church Services for Sunday, June 25: 10:00.

To the People of this Community There will be a feeling of shame in this community if we find our selves short of the mark when the Fifth War Loan comes to an end July 8. C # We will S S /"* not permit \ // that to hap \ Mm/ pen h - e tf • \ Y IM I , especially OOC)\ «3w /l 1 if we look xgmmt ULn around in ■i A- y our homes and our **<# places of \ *j§ ment and see the shadows of relatives and friends who today are in the midst of bloody battle for us. We cannot emphasize too strongly that regardless of the size of the oversubscription of our community quota, the Fifth War Loan will be a fiat failure for you if you do not exceed any thing you have done in the past in War Bond buying. In this invasion hour our fighting men have a right to demand that you make your record contribu tion to the success of a war loan. The slogan, Hack the Attack— liux More Thun lief ore, is not merely a catch phrase. It ex presses the cold facts about in vasion. Unless we make the su preme effort to do everything humanly possible either at our work benches or in our homes with our sweat, our blood and our dollars we hand over our share of the burden to our fighting | men. THE EDITOR. ro the People of this Community The next time you write to your fighting man or fighting woman tell him or her what you have done about the Fifth War Loan. a n f? A‘ 'j I uniform will M ITiMTI be deeply it. interested. K Your War Bond buying is a good tip-off to t’ cm about the state of affairs in your home. The headlines in this newspaper on the progress of the drive, the items about par ticipating individuals, the char acter of the Fifth War Loan spe cial events —all these things re flect the morale back home. Do you like to read a sorry headline about the invasion fronts. Our fighting forces, made up of individuals with the same reactions to good and bad as you, vvih not be heartened to read: “Fifth War Loan Lags.” Your silence in your It tter about your part in the Fifth War Loan will mean non-interest, perhaps non-participation to the recipients. It’s up to you 1 > make your letters cheerful. Write to day. Write often. Write about your war work, your war sup port. Double your best previous War Bond buying record and then shout it to the housetops— just to that special service man. THE EDITOR. - To the People of this Community There are many urgent reasons for buying War Bonds First, the invasion needs money. Bonds pay for planes and gum: and mu- nitions with /" ♦ ~\ which to L P ifn beat the \ \ W // Axis. Our \ fF, / fighting men Y»i. / must have vOO\ /- -D the best pos r/oaU W Lgm sible equip __k T men * ap^ < /V is up to us r 9 IX I ° l e 1 ° ur , money pro vide this. A second reason is this: There is a shortage of goods now. Later on there wall be plenty for civil ian desires. Money put into War Bonds now will be available then. Business opportunities will be open then. too. and the “nest egg” saved now may hatch out commercially then. • Money put into War Bonds now will be deprived of its cur rent potentiality as a part of the causes of inflation. You will be doing your part toward stabiliz ing the money situation by buy ing Bonds instead of dwindling stocks. That is a third reason. But the best reason from a selfish viewpoint is this: Right now rhere is no better invest ment than War Bonds. There is no safer repository for your money. By buying Bones you be come a stockholder in the strong est “going” concern in the world today, the United States of America. THE EDITOR.
