This, That & ! he Other By Mrs. Thco. B. Davis f It is pleasant to have names and addresses come alive and change into persons. Even more pleasant when the persons prove attractive and friendly. For a good while I had won dered about Frederick Turner, Avon, Conn., on our mailing list. It had to be someone who knew people here, else why would an individual so far away care for such a small paper? A note from Mrs. Turner when the subscrip tion was renewed further whet ted my curiosity. Then last week they came to Zebulon on their way to Mr. George Cox’s in the Bethany community, and I learned that Mr. Turner worked here as a lumber-man some years ago; for a short time with J. K. Barrow, but mostly with his uncle, Mr. Leonard. He stayed in the Hop kins Chapel and Union Hope communities, mentioned the old Pulley place and the Siddie Bunns south of Zebulon. Mrs. Turner is from Connecti cut, and I liked her very much, wishing we could be neighbors. They were nice enough to come by the shop to see us, and, not finding us, came to the house to stop in the yard for a few minutes. For years I have made chicken pies for Rotary suppers, and have had numerous requests for the receipt. Here it is, and I hope you find it satisfactory. I worked it out by taste and test. Use grown hens and be sure they are fat. For Rotarians I cook two big ones, but for your family one should do, so, if you use two, double the quantities called for. When dressing the hen remove all the fat you can get without too much trouble. Cut it in small pieces and melt it over low heat, draining it off from the “cracklings.” Boil the hen, or cook in pres sure cooker, until the meat is tender. Use so little water that you will have not more than a pint when the boiling is done. Cut the hen into mouthful size pieces, not putting the liver in, and being careful about bones. You’ll be surprized at the amount of meat you’ll get from the neck and upper back. Don’t use too much of the skin, unless you run it through the food-chop per. Bring to a boil the broth left from boiling, adding a cupful of sweet milk and seasoning with a little black pepper in addition to the salt needed. Mix another cup ful of milk with a half-cup of plain flour, using this to thicken the boiling mixture. You want :t very thick and may need a little more flour. Stir like mad to keep it from scorching at the bottom as it cooks for a few minutes. Now put in the chicken and mix it well before pouring it into a deep baking dish or bread pan. Set this in the oven to keep hot while you make the biscuit crust. Sift two cups of flour and make a fairly soft dough, short ening it with the fat you dried out. Use plenty of it to make bis cuit as short as pie crust. Mix with milk. Os course, you’ll add baking powder unless self-rising flour is u-ed. The dough will be yellow from the chicken fat. Roll it fairly thin, stick it full of holes with a fork, cut with a bis suit cutter Place these biscuit over the chicken-gravy mixture, that should be simmering, and bake in moderate oven till the top is well-browned. Serve at once, in a few hours, or warm it over for next day. Everyone gets identical serv ings, you have no scraps left, and your hen has gone farther than if cooked any other way. If the family or guests are not pleased, don’t worry; you have done your best. COMPLETE STUDY COURSE A Training Union Study course has just been completed at the Baptist Church.

No. 29 Wakefield Church Has Homecoming Homecoming at Wakefield Bap tist Church last Sunday lived up to it.- name. Ample preparation had been made for visitors both as to the physical and spiritual aspects and the day was an un qualified success. The chancel was beautiful with arrangements of spring flowers, while directly in front of the pul pit was a large floor basket fill ed with gladiolas, snapdragons, carnations and roses. This was given by C. E. Pippin and his children, Mrs. Mary Pippin Sheffield, Mrs. Kathleen Pippin Jones, Raymond Pippin and Clif ton Pippin, in memory of Mrs. C. E. Pippin and her father W. .C. Ferrell, devoted members of Wakefield church in the past. Welcoming and registration committees were in the vestibule. The choir included many young people whom returning visitors re membered as babies. Their sing ing added much to the program. Dr. L. L. Carpenter, editor of The Biblical Recorder, was pre sented by Pastor Hughes and spoke on God’s Approval, based on 2 Tim. 2:15. One of his most striking sentences was: “Any one of you can do a great deal of good in the world, if you don’* care who gets the credit for it.” Dr. L. M. Massey spoke briefly on the benefits of having a par sonage and the desirability of one’s being built at Wakefield. After this gift for the parson age fund were made.

Mar. 14.—Approxi mately five per cent of the men in the Army have definite plans to get a government job after dis charge. and an additional five per cent think they will proba bly seek government employ ment but do not have clearly formulated plans, Fourth Service Command Headquarters an nounced today on the basis of a survey of post-war plans of troops made by the Information and Education Division, Army Service Forces. Two-thirds of the men who have definite plans for govern-, mental employment after dis charge were in government jobs before entering the Army, the re port states. A majority of men expressed strong support for a policy of veterans’ preference in government employment. Nearly half the enlisted men who are planning to work for the Federal government wish clerical positions, and about 30 per cent desire jobs in skilled, semi-skill ed or unskilled occupations. The postal service led all other occu pations specified, approximately one out of five of all men plan ning government jobs specifying this type of work.

His subject being new ma terial to build homes with after the war and financing of build ing after the war. Oliver stated that we must find something be sides timber to build in the fu ture as the scarcity of timber re quires this. Man’s genius has al ways met the demand of time. Oliver said gypsum is now being ground, mixed with a chemical and molded into building mater ial that is satisfactory with an advantage over wood as it is fire proof and will be better insulat ed. It is now too expensive for all purposes but the cost possibly can be reduced. It is an ideal material for building as it can be made into any colors and there is no decaying. Homes,, stated, can be easily be financ ed on long terms to those who wish to build. Ted Davis was the only mem- stallation within the country. Phillip R. Bunn, son of Mr. and Mrs. Jessie G.

Atlanta, Ga., Mar. 14 —Uncle Sam needs every article of sol diers’ discarded clothing—trous ers. shirts, coats, overcoats, field jackets—and an appeal was issu ed today to civilians and mili tary people by Major General Frederick E. Uhl, Commanding General, Fourth Service Com mand, for such clothing to be re turned to service. The return is simple he says: Just wrap or box the clothing in container not to exceed 30 pounds in total weight, and address it: “Attention: uartermaster, Cloth ing and Equipage Classification Officer” at the nearest Army post or camp. General Uhl points out that idle Army clothing can be found in many unexpected places.

The Zebulon Rotary Club has a record of regular attendance unequalled in the state. & Girls In The Services and have shipped their GI cloth ing home; graduates of Officer Candidate Schools have been per mitted to retain articles of ap parel, which can be turned in be cause they are useless to then former wearers, but are now hanging in some closet instead of being put to good use. Discharged soldiers are asked to return their Army clothing to the service they have just left. They are permitted to return home in uniform. Some former soldiers, officers say, may desire to keep their Army clothes for war in future parades or functions— which they are permitted to do— but the need is so great that they are asked to turn in that cloth ing which eventually would be come moth-eaten and of no value. The program is for the pur pose of saving millions of dol lars—the difference between the price of used clothing and new uniforms —and to relieve the al ready overtaxed woolen industry now manufacturing Army permitting such plants to return to the manufacture of clothes for civilian wear sooner than would be possible if the hundreds of thousands of Army garments were allowed to deteriorate, in some trunk or attic. The returned clothing will be classified and sent to Army re pair shops—many operated by prisoners of war—reconditioned, cleaned and returned to troops training in this country or fight ing overseas.

' ———Hl I ■■■■■■■ Record Building For New Plant Because the heirs to the estate of the late George Duke have other plans for the building that for about 17 years has been occu pied by the Record Publishing Company, they asked that it be vacated as soon as possible. This necessitated either building or extensive and expensive altera tions to any house that might have been secured, so a deci sion was made to erect a building meant for a print shop. Govern mental permission has been ob tained and the site is on Arren dell Street opposite Flowers Store. The building will be of brick and plans have been adapted from those designed by modern architects for this trade. The owners hope it will be a credit to the town. Its completion de pends upon the shipment of ma terials ordered and the supply of labor. The administrator of Mr. Duke's estate is patient and un derstanding; but the Record Company has no desire to impose upon good nature and prefers to give possession at as early a date as can be managed. here by hospital plane from Mitchell Field, New York.
