Davi* 5 1 Scuppernong grapes are plenti ful around here and they are fine for finishing up the filling of jel ly glasses, in case any are still empty. After you make the jelly rub the grape pulp through' the colander with as much of the cooked skin as will come. Add three cups of sugar to four of pulp and boil it till it is thick. Put in some spices, if'preferred to the plain grape flavor. Pour it up in clean, hot jars and seal to use with meats instead of cranberry sauce next winter. Although I subscribe to the be lief that God made all living things, when it comes to cutworms I am inclined to hold that their coming into being was a permis sive decree and not a creative act. For they are the most hatelul form of life 1 know. Not content with cutting in two the stalks of early tomatoes, peppers, and other gar den stuff, they broaden their ef forts to take in tobacco and crops in general. On what escapes them at the first onslaughts they prey continually. Pull a nice looking roasting car and stent to shuck it: there’s more than likely a cutworm inside. Only he calls himself a corn worm. Gather your best to mames; you dor.': find cut worms juicily entrenched in some 01 them, you are lucky. Gloat ov er the fragrance, size and coloring of your cantaloupes: but- those small holes you’ll .find now and then are where cutworms have crept m ahead ami are feasting ->n the sweetness you’ve looked for ward to having. They Change their color with their food and location; but their disposition remains the same. If you were told you ivn t give up a part of your work, but might choose for yourself what you would hold on to. could you decide at once which things are most im portant? Or would you have to worry over it, setting this respon sibility against that, weighing the satisfaction of one against the oth er? Couid you make a clean-cut decision which things must be done and which, though desirable, j are not essential? If you can, brother or sister, you’re a thinker who might put to shame Rodin's statue. From Mrs. E. B. Earnshaw at Wake Forest came the lines below, addressed not to the paper, but to my husband and me personally. ; We deeply appreciate the senti- i ment and the manner of its ex pression. FROM A WAKE FOREST MAX KILLED IN ACTION When you have read that brief and final word Declaring that your warrior is 1 at rest, Then read the postscript that I fain j would send Out of my soul to those I love the best: “Dear ones at home, I would have spared you this— The shock, the desolation and the smart— Yet, taught by sorrow, you have learned the way Gently to soothe another’s brok en heart. Mother Wake Forest, toll no bell for me, Nor at half-mast let droop Old Gold and Black; No; for my sake go forward and be strong. Better to serve your children who come back. Mind you, I gladly spent Youth’s golden coin Buying this gift of freedom. So, my Dears, Take it —enjoy it. Speak of me • now and then, Miss me, perchance. But shed no bitter tears.” —Edith Earnshaw.

Turner, who has J been pastor of the Wakefield i Middlesex churches for some time, | resigned a month ago. His resig nation was accepted with regret by the members of both churches. He has done an unusually con ! structive work on this field. He is a very earnest, consecrated man and a most practical preacher. He was liked by all and loved by his members. Mrs. Turner has been a great help in his pastoral and other duties. They left Tuesday morning of this week for a short visit with j relatives in Cleveland County, then will go to Louisville, Ky., where Mr. Turner expects to en ter the Southern Baptist Seminary to study three years in fuller prep aration for his life’s work Sunday a week ago the church at Wakefield took a special offer ing of appreciation for Mr. Tur ner amounting to $55.00. In reply he expressed to the church his gratitude and regard by the fol lowing message: “I don’t know how to express my feelings as I leave you good people. It is hard to leave people you love, as I love you, and as I feel you love me. You have been extra nice to us. I go away with a feeling of satisfaction that may be some good has been accomplish ed. I cannot thank you enough for the fine gift you gave me. It took me by surprise; I had not dreamed of getting a penny. I thank, you for it and I appreciated even more the love that prompted it. I am sure the Lord will bless 1 you for your goodness. “The farewell supper was all anyone could expect it to be and more. I think special mention should be made of the ladies of this community for planning an 1 preparing for this occasion. And then we would not pass on without ; mentioning Mrs. Jones, who has ■ been so nice to us these past two ; years that we have lived with her. j I thank God for Christian people | Zebu ion.

H. Moser of Zebulon. A Letter Home We think our readers will be interested in the following letter received by Dr. G. S. Barbee from his son in England: 22 Aug., ’44. Dear Dad: Writing from overseas is just a little different from that of writing a letter in the States—even to your dad. Maybe it is because of those long, lonely miles from here to home, or that deep, cold ocean which lies so much between us. Maybe it’s because of the rugged Army life we are forced to en dure, or maybe it’s just the muck and horrors that we experience every day, which is so much a part of war. Whatever it is, it sorter makes us think just a little bit deeper and wish a little bit harder for those things we had in the States and those loved ones and friends we left behind and didn't appreciate. We think about all of that over here; we find our selves grasping for things we know we cannot reach—just a friendly hello from a friend in Zebulon, or a refreshing coke at the drug store with your pop, or a loving hug from your mom, or a passion ate kiss from Kitten. Yes, we ache for all those things over here. Sherman must have suffered this hunger too, because he had the right conception of war. But we know you all are having it tough, too. I realize that, be cause supplies of all kinds are c t oming over with record-breaking speed—supplies that we need to save lives of others and to protect our own. So we know you are busy—we know you are handicap ped because of our being over here. So to all of you—to the clear-headed American who stays on the job, he really deserves a salute—a salute because he knows that minutes count. Each ono is .mecious to himself, but precious like you to live with and to work i with. May the Lord bless you in : your work. h M. M. Turner.” j Bridges Gins First Bales On last Saturday the Zebulon Gin. operated by R. H. Bridgers, ginned the first bales of cotton of this season in this community. There were two bales of 486 and 540 pounds. The cotton was grown by D. H. Price, Route 1, ! Selma, Johnston County. Cotton is opening very fast. In driving from Zebulon to Wake Forest around by Raleigh on Monday the editor noticed some fields of cotton that appeared to have almost every boll open to the ve.y top of the stalk. The weath er may have shortened the crop, but it certainly is making condi tions right for saving the crop in good condition. Onion Hope News We had a large crowd at church Sunday. Many visitors from near by churches were present. Our pastor, Rev. Stanch, preached a very good sermon. Vaiden Strickland, son of L. C. .'-Lackland, celebrated h ; s 19th birthday last Sunday, S<vt. ”rd, with a big dinner. The ones that! took dinner with him were L. C. Brantley, Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Brantley and family, J. C. Strick j land, and Barlie Brantley. All seemed to enjoy it very much. A brfe family reunion was also held at Mrs. c. B. Whitley’s last | Sunday. All members of the fam | ily were present except Clayton | and Rupert Whitley, who are now serving overseas with the Navy, and Mr. C. B. Whitley, who is now in Canada. Born to Mr. and Mrs. Durbert VJhitley, August 29th, a new baby. They are all smiles. It’s a girl. Miss. Alma Strickland and Mrs. Dula Mae Edmundson motored to Wilson Monday. Mrs. Pollie Price had as visitors this week end her aunt, Mrs. Min nie Thorne and daughter, Miss; Nell Thorne of Wilson. Mr. J. C. Strickland of Varina is spending the week with friends in this section. Bruce Brantley, small son of Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Brantley ,is on the sick list this week. f-ood Tobacco From Good Fertilizer W. E. Upchurch, Jr., sold 135 sticks of tobacco for $177.15. This tobacco was grown with Royster’s Golden Weed Tobacco guano 3-8-5. W. E., Jr., lives on his father's farm a ilttle over a mile south of Zebulon. more to those who fight and bleed and die. Minutes in which another turning of the wheel, another wea pon fashioned, another shell made ready for its task, can tip the bal-! ance of some far-off battle not yet fought and make the victory certain, where it is only hoped for now. Yes, you all have stayed on 1 the job. Day upon day you stay and meet the test with purpose clear. We know you are doing ' your job over there for us over < here. That’s why I wouldn’t be anywhere else but over here, be- i cause I want to do my part, too, and I can best do that overseas, 1 while you carry on for us at home. I That’s why you need never worry i about me, because with my atti- 1 tude towards my military mission i and my love and devotion for all of you I have left at home waiting for me, I will take anything war can give, smiling and happy, and shall return home again unharm ed, unchanged, and with a sense of honored duty well performed. Give my regards to those who might ask about me and my love to our family. Tell every one r that I’m getting along fine in Eng- t land. I miss you all more than I r can express, but I would have it 1 no other way, because I love you 1 all. g Sprite. F jr Hats Off To Dr. Daniel The Treasury Department of the United States has given a citation to the Zebulon Drug Co., Haywood Jones and Miss Daphne Lewis in recognition of patriotic work they did during the sth War Loan Drive. The citation was for co operating with the N. C. Pharma ceutical Association, of which Dr. E. C. Daniel is president, in rais ing the Association’s goal of five planes. They exceeded their goal by nine planes, so fourteen instead of five planes carry names given by the Association. Thus they top all states in the nation. Wins Scholarship Miss Emma Jean Pace, junior at Duke University, because of high scholastic di; tinction. has \\ on an honorary scholarship valued at $200.00. Miss Pace also won a place in freshman scholastic honor societies. Church \ews BAPT, ST CHURCH Services for Sunday. Sept. 10th: 10:00, Sunday School. All class es and departments which were suspended during the poliomyelitis epidemic will resume work this Sunday. 11:00, Morning Worship. Ser mon topic: “Personal Christian ity.” 7:15, Training Union. 8:00, Evening Worship. Mes sage: I Yc Are the Salt of the Earth.” Meeting Changed The W. S. C. S. of the Methodist Church here will not meet on Mon day of next week, which is the regular date, but instead will con vene on Wednesday afternoon at 4:00, at which time members will be addressed by Charles E. Flow ers, Jr., whose subject for discus sion is “Progress in Medicine and Psychiatry.” Rotary Club Early Moser had the program, his subject being “Highlights of American History”. Prof. Moser stated that the spirit of the Pil grim lathers an dtheir determina tion to have liberty, freedom and a religion in which they could worship according to the dictates of their conscience. To do this they crossed the ocean and settled in a wilderness that took the cour age and determination to do or die. We see in Lincoln’s Gettys burg address, the Monroe Doctrine, and in the Atlantic Charter, this spirit. It is seen in our boys in every war they have fought, knowing that the home front was backing them a hundred per cent. The talk made everyone glad to be an American, the land where the weak grow strong and the strong grow great. We were very sorry to lose Hoyle Bridgers and Charlie Vail, but their absence is only tempora ry. Howard Beck, one of the veneer plant men, was accepted as a member. There were no visitors. Date Changed The Dora Pitts W. M. S. will meet this month on Monday after the second Sunday instead of the regular date. Mrs. Robert Edd Horton will be hostess and Mrs. Harold Eddins will lead the pro gram. Members are asked to be present by 3:30 p.m., as days are now shorter.
