This, That & 'l The Other By Mrs. Thco. B. Davis It is somewhat frightening ta realize that one does not know hofv to think, let alone what to think. The United Nations Confer ence in San Francisco is what I have in mind, at least as much of it as my mind can hold. It is too big and too important for me to know much about it. I know why the delegates or representatives have assembled and what, in a general way, they are trying to do; but thinking of 46 nations at once is too much for me. All I can do is to hope and pray. They tell us Mussolini, Italy’s former dictator, has been killed by his countrymen. Os all his ideas as put in print from time to time, none is remembered by me so clearly as an article read years ago. In it Mussolini declared no child should be allowed to en ter a public school until it had been proven that he would be worth the money the State might spend on his education. This would, he said, exclude dull pu pils, whose parents would be solely responsible for their edu cation or of it. He' thought the individual owed all to the ' government, instead of the other way round. Among changes in our own government personnel, we are said to be in line for a new Sec retary of Labor. For this I am thankful. With no disrespect to our present Secretary, I cannot forget her condoning, if not ex actly encouraging the sitdown strikes that to me still seem a blot on industrial history in this country. I can forgive her igno rance of the South; her many ill timed and inept remarks; but her idea that employees had a right to take possession of their employ ers’ property and use or misuse it as they pleased, while barring the owners from entrance —that concept of justice is beyond my understanding. lam glad, for many reasons, that President Truman has seen life from more than one side of the fence. You’ve heard who rush in where angels fear to tread; but you may remember also Job’s friend who said he’d burst, if not allowed to speak. And right now I want to say a few* words about pastorages. pastoriums, or whatever name you prefer for a house bought or built by a church or field of churches for their minister to live in. AND his family. With a sense of deep obligation to many who made my stays in different parsonages as pleasant as possible, I write what follows for the benefit of some who may not have looked at the mattei from every angle; who have not sat where they sit who dwell within the church-owned house. And I might confess that this outburst was brought on by hear - ing numerous times of what a fine thing it will be, or is, for "a church to have a parsonage. The thing I ask to have con sidered is whether the parsonage is to be for the church or for the pastor’s home. If for the churc . why net just build an addition with the desired rooms for enter tainment or recreation? The ten dency is to regard such rooms in a parsonage as being about as public as the church. This is all right, perhaps, if there are no small children in the pastors home. If there, are, it shomd bv. remembered that the same sched ules hold for preachers children as for others; and even the Dox_ ology reverently sung may a small person’s sleep and br,ng on a spell of cross Nobody means to be thoughtless nor to take advantage of anyone 3£;it is a result of looking on the pastor’s home as a part of the church. And it is hard for the lady of the house to refuse whe consulted about ties and whatnot heing held m the house she lives m. but do« not own nor pay money rent lor A word to the wise is held .0 be sufficient. And I have said these in love to our own and « l the pas tors. New York will cooperate in the ruLrd'. Ts to please let us do it way ” That's all consc.- entious objectors ask. THE ZEBULON RECORD Volume 21. No. .‘JH Bookmobile Notes The motion picture “Wilson” has turned public attention to this wartime president, who was hon ored for his ideals, famous for his integrity. Margaret Elliott has written about Wilson as a per son, a warm, revealing picture 3f him as “Brother Woodrow.” The author saw this man as only a relative could see him; she pre sents a fresh and informal pic ture of his home life and his personal appeal. The World we Live In by Louis Broomfield. Nine short stories and novelettes, some of which are about the present war. Two novels about the Civil War: Yankee Stranger by Els wyth Beebe is the story of civi lian life behind the lines. A love story, it makes for pleasant read ing if war can ever be pleasant. By Valonr and Arms by James Street is a war story concerning the ironclad Arkansas and the seige of Vicksburg. Earth and High Heaven by Gwethalyn Graham. This moving love story of a young woman journalist and a soldier about to go overseas is played out against the background of the city of Montreal. The Canadian charac ters are interesting, the conflict between their -eli'Tions and blood streams is thrilling, the love story tender. Young Bess by Margaret Irwin. A historical novel based on the childhood of Elizabeth Tudor, later queen of England. Eliza beth’s reign is better understood tvher. her childhood is pictured so well. There have been a number of articles and st ries about return ed flyers and other servicemen in past months. The Razor’s Edge by Somerset Maugham is most interesting because it depicts a re turned hero who tlew in World War 1. When he reached his home in Chicago in 1919 he could not settle down and the saga ol his adventures in search of per sonal peace is exciting and in a way sad. Snou'shoe Country by Florence Jaauees. an illustrated diary of a stay in Minnesota during the winter months. The impressions of winter woods, wild animals trees, lakes are fascinating read ing for anyone at all interested in the great outdoors. Emperor's Physician, by Jacob Perkins. A novel of life in Pal estine during the days of Emper or Tiberius. Two physicians arc on a med’eal mission through Palestine and during their mis sion encounter Jesus of Nazareth. Even more readable than the Robe and as interesting. Bookmobile schedule for Mon day May 14. Static ns Arrive Leave Rolesville school 9:30 10:35 Rolesville 10:40 10:45 Perry's Store Mrs. B. C.

To date the response has not been as liberal as in many other communities, and it is hoped that more may be given. Totel clothing collected to date is 2.38! pounds from Wakefield and Zebulon communities. The proof of religion is not pi ety, but to get fellowmen in a helpless position where you can squeeze them unmercifully and not do it. Zebulon, N. C., Friday, May 4, 1945 Church News Y. M. L.

LESS SUGAR Housewives should be very careful how they use sugar al lotted for the family. Stamp No. 36, valid this week, must last four months instead of three. That means an allowance of not quite four level teaspoonfuls a day. And that includes, coffee, tea, cereals, desserts and every thing else requiring sugar. If you want a pit, drink your coffee straight. Learn to enjoy the flav or of tea instead of the sugar you used to put in i^ Canning sugar allotments are also cut. The maximum has been lowered from 20 pounds per per son to 15. And not fair to say you're going to can and then use that allowance for the table. Bak ers and commercial canners face a reduction in the sugar they may buy. Statistics as to sugar for making liquor are not available at present. h Service s Pfc. Robert M. Trevathnn, son of John R. Trevathan of Route 2, Zebulon, is with the Fifth Army in Italy, a member of the 339th Field Artillery Battalion which has been pouring steel in to German targets since last Octo ber. They landed in Africa in De cember, 1943, entered combat jn Italy in March, 1944. They fought at Rome, Futa Pass, Firenzuola, and had part in the Gothic Line battle.

Mc- Swajn of Rocky Mount, recently was awarded the Silver Star for driving over terrain exposed to intense enemy fire to evacuate casualites. He is the son of Mrs. Delia M McSwain of Zebulon. After Private McSwain’s bat talion had taken their objective near a German Town, it was still almost impossible to collect and evacuate casualties as the enemy was shelling the entire area. Pri vate McSwain drove into the thickly wooded area, under con stant artillery tree bursts, and loaded the wounded onto his hall' track. Disregarding hjs personal safety, he then drove the vehicle along a road that was under ene my observation, and was being shelled constantly. He repeated this operation several times, risk ing his life without hesitation in order to move the badly wounded soldiers from the area. Private McSwain then volunteered to drive his vehicle through the dense woods and past our from lines in order to bring some wounded men from another divi sion who were trapped by enemy fire. After successfully completing this task, he once more drove through the heavily shelled woods and assisted in removing two American sodliers that were be ing treated in a German Aid Sta tion.

With its calming and normalizing influence on people worried by the tension of the times, we are impressed with the fact that music is far more than an art for the enjoyment of a few, but is a necessary pleasura ble and inspiring, quieting and stimulating luxury to all men. Throughout our own state there will be full recognition of Na tional Music Week through the cooperation of musical organiza tions, churches, schools, radio stations, civic clubs and theaters. In Zebulon, local churches will emphasize music in worship at their services on May 6.

M. will be an outgrowth of music work in the grades. Friday, May 11, at 11:15 the public is invited to par ticipate in an assembly sing and the weekly high school assembly.
