This, That & The Other BY Mrs. Theo. B. Davis Since frost has come the larg er green tomatoes ar e probablv on window sills or in barns t > ripen. The experts now tell us that the tomatoes will do as well oil the vines as on, once the have withered. They also say temperature and not light ripens, and that the best way to keen the tomatoes is to put about a half dozen in a paper bag, then fold over the bag’s top, placing it where temperature is always above freezing. Tomatoes will not i ipen off the vine if too voun <f for the jelly-like pulp to'have formed around the seed. Tiny ones can be used for pickle, if you think it worth your time and sugar. Just now the most beautiful tree in Zebulon is the maple in front of the Vance Privette home with its vivid scarlet foliage. Second in beauty is the vari-col ored one at the A. C. Dawson home. However, if you'll excuse my saying so. no trees here are as lovely as are those in the mountains where colder nights and different climate work greater wonders than are seen in this section. This week’s Saturday Evening Post cover carries a picture of a meek, bewildered looking little man holding a newspaper with photographs of Roosevelt and Dewey side by side and the cap tion “Which One?” And I know exactly how that little man feels. From its official beginning this campaign has been a disappoint ment to me. I did so want to become wholly enthusiastic about one candidate or the other. Then Mr. Roosevelt let me down so hard with his teamster speech, which may have been all right for that organization, but which to my mind failed at any point to ! rise to the dignity of what our nation has e right to expect of its chief executive at such a time as this. I didn’t want him to be sobbingly sentimental or preten tiously patriotic; but his going cute on us hurt me. . Mr. Dewey has said nothin? else so good as was his acceptance speech when nominated; or. if so I have not read it. I do believe our president can do more for our country in post war settlements: but I also be lieve the Republican candidate j would gi'-e us a far better admin istration as ’egards matters at home. I believe peace will not be hastened nor delayed by the election of either candidate. Our generals are planning the mili tary campaign* and all of us agree that needs of all branches of the armed forces must be adequately supplied. I am not like the lady who de clared she could never vote for a man who wears a mustache, nor am I swayed by the charms of our present first lady or of Mrs. Dewey. It’s the husbands I worry about. In the week that is left before votrng day I shall try to do some real thinking. I’ve already thought that I shall go and have my name taken from the Demo cratic list and put down as in dependent; though that might not help. •It may be mv indecision ’s largely because the name of the man I wanted to vote for is not on either ticket. He G and. though I never saw him. I have a deep and personal sense of be reavement. Headlines in a daily last week stated “More Tar Heel Battle Veterans Return to Bragg.” And I thought why shouldn't they? If ever a ‘soldier had a right to brag, ours have nowu Just so they return, we'll all listen. Miss Current advises in her Hints to Homemakers: “Never throw net curtains away purely because they are torn.” Then she tells what to do about it. But she does not say anything of curtains falling to pieces when put into soapsuds, and that’s what happened to mine. Mrs. Robert Phillips went to Durham Monday to visit her mother, Mrs. M. A. Price and to' see her brother, home on fur lough. ■ • HJH KtT, EjP rjfj w£*t) iiwi wjEm "fv| " *£•,• yw 99 i * y mH Volume 21. No. 10 Sewing Room Mrs. Wallace Temple, chairman nl sev. ng room work, annoifrices ’hat the room will be open Thursd.v afternoon of each week j from 1:30 till 5:30. For the cold ninths fire > will le provided in • ihe same room used during the summer. There is urgent need for sewers and cutters of scrap and it is hoped that their response may be adequate to meet the quota set for t 1 is community. For the present an effort is be ing made to use wood in a sheet iron heater for the sewing room, as this will afford quicker heat with less fire to be left when the room is closed for the day. Do nations of wood, cut or sawed to stove length are requested. This will be a fine way for those un able to sew to give substantial aid. Please remember the needs of our soldiers for what service we can render and come or send to the sewing room at the clubhouse on Thursday afternoons for ma terials to be made up. With Ihe Alien In Service Cochran Field, Macon. Geor gia.—F. D.. Finch, Jr. son of F. D. Finch of Zebulon. N. C. ,s stationed at this ARMY AIR FORCES TRAINING COM MAND PILOT SCHOOL while awaiting orders which will send him to pre-flight school. During this wait he is undergoing a com prehensive three-phase course of instruction in AAF administra tion. supply aand engineering. Wilbur White, USMC, son of Mr. and Mrs. Percy White of Zebulon, is in a California hospit al suffering from malaria. 2nd Lt. Wilbur T. Debnarn, son of Mr. and Mrs. Mallie T. Deb nam. of Zebulon, is completing his training on a Liberator bomb er at Pueblo Army Air Base. He is being fitted to be a valuable member of a “team” that will carry the fight into enemy terri tory. Debnarn entered the service in February, 1943. His wife. DoroJJiy H. Debnarn, lives in Zebulon. Sgt. Willard H. Gay. son of Mr. and Mrs. F. D. Gay of Zebulon. ! Route 3, has been awarded the Bronze Star Medal for coura geous action on Bougainville Is land last March. As chief of his gun section, he disregarded his own safety and inspired those un der his command to continue fir ing until an enemy position had been wiped out, although the ene my was shelling Gay’s gun post and the shells were landing all around. Sergeant Gay has been in the Pacific since March. 1942, and saw action at Guadalcanal as well as Bougainville. He also holds the Good Conduct Medal, a citation from the President, and a j Navy citation. There is a mistaken conception j that tender culs of meat are bet ter. Firmer cuts are not only as good but give jaws and teeth a reason for being. To avoid “boil overs” while cooking macaroni or spaghetti, add one tablespoon of cooking ojl or shortening to the water. To open fruit jars easily, set them upside down in hot water for a few minutes. /■emiion. i\. C\. Friday, November 3, 1944 $1.50 Per Year/Payable In Advance A Matter Os Life And Death Never have there been so many things calling for money as now opportunities to invest, to spend money, and to give it away. Perhaps \X ar Bonds is the safest way to invest money, ihe government needs it to prosecute the war, and every one should buy some bonds. A boom is beginning in real estate and many are considering purchasing a home or a farm. So it was during the first World War, and many did, thereby losing all their investments. All must have food and clothes. So far, no one has suffered lor the lack of either in all our land. We have had money enough to buy these and most of us have had some to save or to buy comforts and even luxuries. “In America,” as one wo man said to us a tew days ago, “1 do not know any one who has not had plenty to eat and who was not able to buy all they need ed. Here we see no direct sign or serious result of the war.” It is right to bank our money or buy bonds, and the neces sities of life. And. as we see life around us, there seems to be no reason why one may not spend his money for whatever he desires, or even throw it away in’extravagance and waste. But we live only on one side of the world. Today on the other side men are sick and in prison, and many are dying. They are our people and the people o-f our Allies. A little money to send them food or medicine would save lives. Certainly their enemies will not offer more than a sustenance for life, and man) of them much prefer seeing our sons starve for food and die of disease. But if we send them what they most need, there is away by which it will reach them. l or years now most of the peoples of Europe have been un der the inhuman heel of the Hun. He has, robbed them of al most every necessity of life. Homes have been destroyed, ani mals and crops have vanished, and the innocent sit shivering and famishing amid the ruins. Unless America, from the abundance of her plenty, gives liberally, then the guilt of neglect will be on us in the sufferings and deaths of fellow beings. There are other great needs of mankind at home and abroad whose call and cry comes to us. Even the spirit and example of the One who gave His very life for our sake is calling on us to help in ministering to the starving and suffering millions across the seas. The Book says, “Whoso sceth his brother in need and shutteth up the bow’c-ls of compassion, how' dwelleth the love of Cod in him ?” Does God see us as such? The United War Fund is calling on the people of W r ake County to help in the national effort to relieve as far as pos sible the conditions as we have partially described them. $193,- 884.00 is asked of the City of Raleigh and Wake County. Every cent of it is needed, and much more. Less than'half has been raised and it now appears we shall be far short of our part. When a person who has hundreds of dollars in the bank gives 25 or 50 -cents to this worthy and needy cause, how’ can he be friend to God or man? Many have refused or neglected to give anything. Only a few more days and the campaign will end. It is both an opportunity and a privilege to help in this effort It is God's call—urgent call —to us. God Almighty has blessed America in a w'onderful way. We believe this is His way of testing our love for our neighbors, our desire, but surely the gracious God will not hold us guiltl<*,s if we fail to answer the groans and tears of our dying fellow creatures. An offering from every congregation of church peo ple would be peculiarly Christian. It gives each of us an oppor tunity to show to the ‘‘Giver of every good and perfect gift” that we still listen to Him and love our fellow man enough to help rescue him from the terrible and devastating destruction and death following the scourge of the god of war. Send or bring your contribution—and we hope you will do it now to Rev. Geo. Griffin or Vance Brown, .at the Peoples Bank & Trust Company.
