This, That& The Other BY Mrs. Theo. B. Davis The three-year-old grandson was bei g made ready for Sun day Schoi ! ,ad objected to hav ing his face washed, saying, "My iace clean. You washed it.” His mother reminded him that be got oatmeal on his face when eating breakfast. “But,”, he argued, “the oatmeal was clean.” Logic is logic. The best spare-ribs we have had in I-don’t-know-how-long were brdught by Mr . Leamon Brantley of the Union Hope com munity. They had plent yo£ meat over them and cooked to a deli cious brown tenderness. The lit tle dog and the kittens toox charge of the bones after we hu mans had done all we could to them, so a good time was had bv all. When I was a girl there was a song, old then, which I loved and used to sing with tears in my eyes. The chorus began “For mexi must work and women must weep." Sometimes this was because “storms are sudden and waters deep,” because “there’s little to earn and many to keep." or some other equally good reason. It was dreadfully sad, but I loved sad ness in song and literature, not having known it elsewhere. But the passing years have brought changes and women ofj today must work, whether or not they weep. That is, they should work. Daily calls go out for women to volunteer for service in the armed forces of our country. But do we respond? Certainly not in the numbers needed. Even at the risk trt having it said that I urge oth ers to volunteer because I am too old for it, I. add this plea to the lest. If we demand voting rights, equal pay for equal work and the right to jury duty, and what ever else we take a notion to want, we should also volunteer for sei - vice or be drafted. Let it not be said of us that women are unwil ling to do their share of what ever war may bring. Buying stamps and bonds will not suffice, if we can do more; nor will work- . ine in defense industries excuse us if. of draft age and status. Nur ses are especially needed, but Wacs, Waves and all other bran- . ches are calling for reinforce- ( ments. Girls who enlist in the Wacs as ; medical technicians need not have 1 had any hospital training. They 1 need have had only two years ol high school, requirements having been recently lowered. Age should be between 20 and 40, if no previous training has been tak en. They may work either in op erating rooms oi nurse ward pa tients after being taught in basic and advanced courses with ac tual experience in their work. Mighty few things make me want to be young again; but when I read appeals for women volun teers, and think of how much such recruits could do for our tighting men, I find myself wishing either to shed some forty years or that the authorities would take elderly women. Johnson Gets That Buck Fever Again On Monday after Christmas, 1943, Jeweler J. N. Johnson of | Zebulon, went on a deer hunt, down Maysville way. He returned with a nice buck. He was the only successful hunter ol the half jloz en nimrods in the hunt. Again on Wednesday after Christmas, 1944, Mr. Johnson and seven other hunters went on another hunt to j the same place. He brought back a fine eight-point buck. He was the only man who had good luck. Some of his friends say Johnson has a bad (good?) case of buck fever. However, he does his own doctoring.

A number of new members have been added. There is considerable sentiment among members of both the Wakefield and Zebulon lodges to combine the two into a strong fraternal body and build an ample lodge building for their use. It is hoped by the friends of Masonry .that this may be accom plished, thus making what is a 4 present two good lodges into one of the best and strongest of any town of its size in the state. Rev. R.

Mes sage: “Strength For The Mourner’ Who Busted The Window? On last Saturday evening a , crowd of boys, or young men were standing in front of John son’s jewelry shop having a good time together. They engaged in a push and shove game that land ed one of them against the plate glass window. At least that is the current report. Any way, both window panes w*e shattered to pieces. It. is hoped they are going to pay the full cost of re placing the glass. Probably the next time the boys will think twice before shoving once, and even then there will be lacking the inexpensive fun they thought they were having at the time.

WPB Appeals tor More fulpwood I hat the larmers are the prin cipal hope of the Government in the current pulpwood crisis is ap !;" .’it in a n cent statement by the War Production Board appeal ing for greater pulpwuod produc tion for war in 1945. “The pulp and paper industry needs farmer cut wood,” said WPB, “and everything should be done by the industry and coop erating Government agencies to • stimulate production of wood by ' farm labor.” WPB blamed the failure of farm labor to return to woods work immediately alter the har vesting season foi a sudden slump in mill receipts ol p'ulpwood last tall. It urged farm workers “to make the maximum productive effort to assure a continuous flow of the pulp and paper products go essential.to a victorious prosecu tion of the war.” The farmers of this country are no doubt bearing more than their share of the job of maintaining Home Front production. That’s be cause the country has learn .1 that they can be relied upon to do whatever is required of them Pulpwood is essentially a farm crop. Long before the war farm ers learned that it is a good cash crop to bo harvested during off asricultural seasons. Peak war e prices Have made it even more profitable today. Fi'.m now ifhtil spring planting the farmers of this mea can do a mighty important job for the boys overseas and at the same time im prove their woodlands and add to their income by cutting pulpwood WakeForestExami Wake Forest, an. 9. Examina tions for the fall semester begin at Wake v r«- ‘ C dlesre J muary 19 arid - throw h the 25th. ' r i* iring semester boons with registration on January 29. Class es begin at 8:30 Tuesday morning, January 30th. Registrar Grady S. Patterson re ports that several war veterans are entering the College in the new semester, and a large num ber have made inquiries for the fall. He say. that as many or even more new students a’ e expected in the spring semester as enter ed in peace time. Final Filing Date OfTobaccoGrowers All eligible producers who are interested in applying for a new grower flue-cured tobacco allot ment, for F 945 should file their request at the Wake County AAA office prior to February 1, 1945, according to Russell Powell, Chairman, Wake County AAA Committee. The announcement by the War Food Administration is that mar keting quotas will apply on these two types of tobacco for the mar ketting year 1945-46 specified that c percent of the national mar keting quota would be made a vailable for establishing new al lotments. To be eligible tor such an al lotment either the farm operator or the person growing the to bacco. shall be living on the farm and largely dependent on the farm for his livelihood. Tenants, Have A Written Lease Farm Journal No two ways about it .a farm tenant should have a written lease. It is better for tenant, bet ter for landlord: but maybe not so good for the lawyer, in case of a disagreement or a lawsuit. The letter of a written contract is usually more specific than the custom of a community. Another thing—a written leasers the only way to protect heirs and assignees in case either party should die.
