This, That & 'l I he Other By Mrs. Theo. B. Davis After all I have said about one's duty to vote in elections I forgot t go to the polls last Tues day. My only excuse is that I got all tied up in fourteen pages of figures and couldn't think of any thing else; which, I'll admit is no real reason—but I said excuse. And I should have remembered the voting had there been any contest. I knew the candidates would be elected anyway. But I do feel that a duty has been neglected. Having grown up in a day when things were either formal or informal, with the informal largely predominating in my case, I have been somewhat con fused by the “semi-formal” oc casions, and wondered just what they are. My ithirteen-year-old grandson explained. “A semi-for mal dance”, he said, “is one where the girls all wear long dresses and the boys shine their shoes and put on their coats.” New I know. Last Sunday from church ser vice we went to my daughter’s in Raleigh and stayed till after early supper. Crystal had been to take part in a special program that day and had declined, giving as her reason that I would be there. “Bring your mother,” said the program leader, and my truthful daughter replied “My mother does not get out much.” In tilling me about it, she said “I didn’t tell her the reason you don’t get out much is because you are kept so busy in the print shop that they only let you out on Sundays.” And I am sure at least one person has the idea I am a frail, delicate old lady who ha.; to be helped from the car to a chair. Great and diversified are the uses of the English language If you don’t like dewberries, pass over this item; if you do like them, be sure to plant some vines of the thornless kind. They are delic rus, sweeter than the old kind, easy to pick, fine for can ning—but better cold-pack them, and the old runners don’t become a nuisance, as the absence of thorns means you can handle them without being hurt. Dr. B. W. Spilman was kind enough to write from his home in Kinston endorsing what I said about parsonages. He, too, thinks such a building should be, first of all, a home for a pastor and not a recreational department of the church. And he backs up his ar gument with a list of instances he has known. For weeks we have been in a frantic rush here at the shop, try ing to get out all the work on hand before our foreman son, Ted, enters service with the Navy. We have had to stop taking work that must be delivered by a cer tain specified date, though we do still take work in orders that say “do it when you can find time.” In spite of all the strain I took an order last week from Dr. Bul la of the County Health Depart ment. Ted said he really was sur prised at me, since I knew how busy we all were. I said maybe Barrie, the son here for a few days, would get them out; that they were to give notice of the anti-rabies vaccinations, which I love to help emphasize, that Dr. Bulla said only for us to do the best we could and get them to him in installments, if easier for us. With a sort of sad resignation Ted turned to. Barrie and said It must be Dr. Bulla s pretty, curly hair that fascinates Mother. Which is untrue on more than one count. But Barrie did print the circulars and I hope every dog m Wake County gets vaccinated this summer. PRISCILLA LONG 'Claudia Priscilla Long, two year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Cameron D. Long, died at Mary Elizabeth Hospital at 6:55 Monday evening. She was taken with se vere vomiting spells Monday morning and nothing was found to correct the condition. She was the only child of her parents. „ , • Burial was in the Zebulon cem eterv Wednesday afternoon after services cit the Baptist Church with Pastor Griffin in charge, as-1 sisted by the Rev. R. H. Herring. Mr. Mrs. C. V. Whitley and daughter, Nancy, spent the week end in Boonville with the M. V. Flemings. THE ZEBULON RECORD Volume 21.

ROTARY Charlie Vale spoke to Zebulon Rotarians last Friday night, dis cussing causes of World War 11. He said that of several causes, one was lack of religion. While there were in Europe many grand ca thedrals with stained glass win dows, many large churches, reli gion was more of form than spir ituality. When Hitler and Mussolini were supreme powers they began the extermination of the Jews and on ly Baptists and Methodists pro tested; but soon their places of worship were closed. Higher edu cation in these countries was of the criticizing, fault-finding kind and tore down instead of building up. Society cared little for mor al values. They craved power, re gardless of the little people who were unable to defend themselves. The Club had as guests Major Ferd Davis, a former Rotarian, home for a short time from the Philippines, and his brother, Capt. Barrie Davis, both home-town boys who have seen much action in this war. Other guests were Mesdames Ferd Davis and Ted Davis.

Assistant Plant Pathologist During the past season three spray trxnments have been tested extensively in Wake County for blue mold control. All three con trolled blue mold perfectly. These sprays were yellow cupracide plus S. E. C. oil, bismuth-subsaficylate 1 plus vatsol and fermate. Best results were obtained with fermate. This material did an ex cellent job of controlling blue mold and also stimulated plant growth. In all tests, fermate sprayed plants had a much better color. I For best results, mix 1 lb fer-: J mate with 50 gallons of water for 1 the first two sprays. Then in crease the rate to 1 l/ 2 lbs. to 50 gallons of water. Always mix the materials in a bucket or jar until it is all dissolved, then make up to volume. The addition of about 6 ounces of Vatsol will facilitate mixing. Fermate does not go in to solution with water, thus it must be stirred continuously | throughout the spray operation. j Spraying should begin before the plants leave the ground or when they are about the size of a; quarter. The first two applica-1 tions can be applied 1 week apart. After the second application two treatments should be applied weekly. Treatments should con tinue until the epidemic of blue j mold passes, or until the plants are ready to set in the field. About 6 to 8 applications are ne cessary for best results. The amount of solution needed to spray 100 yards depends upon j the size of the plants. As a rule : 5 gallons will do the job for the first three applications and six to \ eight gallons for each 100 yards during the remainder of the spray j season. The only equipment needed is a spray outfit that will build up enough pressure to produce a fog. •A barrel or wheelbarrow sprayer is satisfactory. The cost of spraying is very cheap. Enough fermate to spray 100 yards for the entire season will cost about SI.OO. The spray outfits range in price from sl2 up, and are built to last a long time. Also this spray outfit could be used for other purposes, such as spraying fruit trees. Blue mold tests were conducted on the following farms in Zebulon and Wendell: In Wendell tests were set up on the farms of Ceder ic Todd, T. P. Baker, and Joe Todd. In Zebulon they were lo cated on the farms of Avon Priv ette, Robert Ed Horton, Leman Long, Wesley Liles and John! $1.50 Per Year Union Hope Mrs. Van Whitley received a tel egram last week stating that her son, Pvt.
