tvdzrej zfacrgjgTHrafz^HfgjEfgr I This , That And | The Other ;|j jjj By Mr*. Thou B. Devis jjaj tUEfanELTETEJEra^ They are not so-bad as usual this •ear, but I still have something i' r ainst the August magazines. T. ey insist upon our doing this or that to kill time “these long, hot. drowsy summer days.’’ If I could 1 only locate and nab the person who invented that line. I'd drag i her—it could hardly be him- -to ! our place. Small as is our acreage, j it would teach what I’m talking 1 about. v The long. hot. drowsy summer ! days are never long enough for the | work that needs doing; the must- | be-done laps over itself sometimes. Canning of fruits and vegetables is at its peak; gathering corn, but- ! terbeans, peas, and such, and! preparing them for cooking for i dinner takes hours. Washings are at their largest, though one can ; economize time by doing little ironing. In yard and gaiden weeds | are doing their level best to choke to death anything you’re specially j proud of in the plant or shrub line. Morning glories are making j plain the reason many call them > bindweed, and every time you stir the soil a new crop sprouts. Long, hot, drowsy days—yes; but August drowsiness is the kind j that clothes a man with rags, ac cording to the scriptures. And I’ve not touched on actual farm work, with its barning of to bacco and its nights of wakeful ness in curing the leaves; its mowing, raking, dusting. If I had a corn crop, I’d try hard to believe. what the experts now say about not pulling fodder being better for the yield of grain. I’ve reached the stage of actual ly being astounded at seeing per sons sitting quietly on front porches. How do they ever man age it? Nancy Brantley Rogers, here from Charlotte on a visit with her i mother, Mrs. Chris Brantley, paid me a short call in the office last week. I am always glad to see her: but even thinking of her re minds me of how worried I was about her wedding costume. My husband went to the home to perform the ceremony and when he returned, woman-like, I began to question him about it. Yes, he said, Nancy looked very pretty; but when I wanted to know about her dress he hesitated, then said she wore “some sort of shiny purple dress.” I was dismayed and didn’t re cover till some days later I learned the wedding dress was biege. How he got the idea it was purple is more than either my better half or I understood. But I can’t for get about it. Answering the telephone Satiir- j day I found the one calling was Ray Strickland of Washington and Wendell. He called to tell me he enjoys this column and that \ he reads the Gold. Leaf Farme and the Record, exchanging pa- | pers with Edna Phillips, who i works in the same Washington of fice he does. This was surely a thoughtful act and was thoroughly appreciat ed. With everything as it is, we are most often embarrassed or worried over the papers we pu* j cut. There’s so much to be done i and so few to do it. But once this war is over we are going to take a few deep breaths, roll up our sleeves and try to show by the papers how much we do appre ciate the loyalty of those who stand by with subscriptions now.

No. 19 Red Cross Sewing There is now plenty to be done , in the Red Cross sewing room at ; the Woman's Club. A variety of ' tasks await workers. ; There is an urgent call for 72 0 shoe-shine rags. On last Friday j Mrs. S. G. Flowers and A. S. B< - ! gen donated enough outing to j make 37 of these. Contributions of j men’s worn trousers or women’s dresses are needed for more. Fracture pillows are also need i ed at once. They are to be stufl } ed with tiny scraps or shreds of cloth. For this purpose clean old garments may be used and con tributions suitable will be gladly ! received. Scraps of new cloth may j be used for this work. All will | need to be cut and those who can j do so are asked to come, bringing j sharp scissors. Mrs. S. G. Flowers served coca : colas to all workers last Friday j p. m. Mrs. ■ Wallace Temple, local 1 chairman, is proud of the fact that all work sent in from Zebulon has been found satisfactory. Do not forget the hours: 9:00- |6:00 on Tuesdays and Fridays and 0:00-10:00 Tuesday night. He’p if possible. In case you, like most of us. don’t know just what a fracture pillow is, it may be said that the size is about 9 1-2 by 11. It is made of ticking or cretonne, and is stuffed hard and tight with ! shredded cloth or tiny scraps. Its use is to help support fractured limbs and to make the sufferer ! as nearly comfortable as possible. Rotary Club Raleigh Alford and Hoyle Brid | gers had the program, their sub ject being “Rural-Urban: What can Zebulon do to Make It More Attractive to the Rural Communi ty”?

Where Is Your Share? Os the eight million tons of pa per needed for salvage in 1944. the War Production Board says 38 per cent is in hiding in American homes and farms, while the other 62 per cent is to be found in the files and store rooms of American industry.

August 3 Dr. Carl V. Reynolds, State Health Officer, has issued the following statement , with regard to the services of wo men prisoners at the Hickory ; treatment centers during the pres ent outbreak of infantile paralysis: . ! “Francis Bacon was right when he said, ‘Adversity is not without its comforts and hopes,’ a striking demonstration of which constitutes one of the side-lights of the infan | paralysis outbreak in North Carolina. "Due to the scarcity of aides and maids in wards, and kitchen work ers, it became necessary to call upon nurses to do these chores.. This proved to be both expensive and prohibitive, in that it deprived the center of the larger services these nurses were supposed to perform. “Aftr strenuous efforts to secure the services of necessary aides had failed, the matter was taken up with Governor Broughton, to whem the. suggestion was made that, through his authority, the services of a suficient number of inmates of the Woman’s Prison be made available. “The Governor immediately contacted William Dunn, Jr., State Paroles Commissioner; and, as the result, seventeen women, 12 white and 5 colored, volunteered and soon were on their way to Hickory. Later, a group of 6, all white, fol lowed by a group of 9—7 white and 2 colored—making a total of 32, joined the original contingent , "What makes this story especial ly significant is that the call to service was on a purely voluntary basis. Commissioner Dunn visited the prison, informed the inmates what were the necessities of the hour and explained Ciat there j would be hazards incurred. More ; than a sufficient number volun teered. “It is highly gratifying to note that these women, sentenced for infractions es the law, as they had been, responded to the call for un selfish service to humanity. __ Personals Mr. and Mrs. Carl Harper and son, Carl Ely, of Charlotte, are visiting the J.
