This, That &
The Other
BY
Mrs. Theo. B. Davis
Reciprocity is grand in theory
even though at times it does not
work out as planned.
The youngest grandson, Leary,
was three last week. He has a
cousin about two years olde.\
one of those plump, husky chil
dren who always outgrow their
clothes. A good many of these are
passed on to Leary and are ap
preciated by him and his mother.
As I was inserting Leary into
a pair of his own overalls I re
marked that they were almost
too small for him. “Well,” he said
cheerfully, “we’ll give ’em to
Jimmie. When Jimmie’s clothes get
too little he gives ’em to me; so
when mine get too little I’ll give
’em to him.”
InPeople On Our Side Edgar
Snow says that of all of man’s
works it would seem that chim
neys and bedsteads are most near
ly indestructible; that no matter
how heavily a town may have
been bombed, these stand starkly
mute reminders of what has i
been.
It made me remember how the
bedsteads hung crazily from rem
nants of ceilings when our home
was burned; and how the chai
red and blackened one looked in
Mrs. Roscoe Pearce’s room after
the fire there Saturday; of the
many chimneys I have seen, tall
and alone, in fields where once
were houses and yards. I wish
they’d fall with the rest.
Next shortage on our lists is to
be black pepper, or so it is said.
Please don’t get the idea all of us
housekeepers should rush to buy
enough pepper for a year or two.
Wait till the hog-killing folk have
had their requirements met. Pep
per is a must with them; and no
matter how much we like the fla
vor, it is merely a preference with
us.
Now for some good news: You
can again buy aluminum paint for
stoves and pipes. Right here in
Zebu lon. And I had been fearing
that for the duration aluminum
paint belonged to the dear, dead
days beyond recall, and to those
wonderfi 1 post-war days that we
are not hearing so much about as
we did a few months ago. Life
will be brighter at our house.
Painfully and reluctantly I have
decided it is patriotic to subscribe
only to magazines that are really
helpful to me and that I may find
time to read Because we get re- j
duced rates I’ve been taking more
than otherwise could have been
afforded. Left off were American
Home, Better Homes and Gardens,
Farm Journal and Farmer’s Wife,
and Holland's. Not because we
don’t like them; but because we
don’t have time to do all we know
about the house and yard and gar
den. And it drives me nearly des
perate to snatch a few minutes to
read of what should and might be
done to improve and beauitfy our;
surroundings ami not have time
to do any of it.
What does it profit me to read
how to make elaborately ruffled
and trimmed skirts for a dress
ing table? I don't use such a
piece, and the only table in my
room has legs as bare as those of
the bobbysox brigade. And like
many of them it has scratches and
scars.
I needn't read that now is the
time to complete setting out bulbs;
to take up those that need it; to
prune evergreen shrubbery; to
rake and clean the entire yard; to
go over garden and truck patches,
giving winter care. If ever I find
time to do all I know, I’ll re-sub
scribe to magazines giving advice.
Right now you have to take most
of them for two years at least, jf
you get them at all.

Its Opening Date
Owing to the lack of help Hun
to ’s Five Cents to a Dollar store
will not open till 9:30 Saturday
morning. Mr. Hunter has done
his best to have everything readv
to open yesterday, but using all

nounced.
But everything will be in place
Saturday morning when the doors
of the most beautiful store ever
seen in Zebulon will open. It is the
most Christmassy looking place
ever seen here. And the walls and
tables are covered with an unbe
lievable variety of articles selling

Special gifts will’be offered at the
opening. No more need Zebulon
shoppers spend time and money
going to larger place to buy arti
cles usually found in such stores.
Zebulon should feel proud to have
such a store in this community.
