This, That & The Other By Mrs. Theo. B. Davis | \ r Mrs. Fred Hood not only grows lovely dahlias; she gives away a great many of them. As I write this I am looking sidewise at a big vase of Mrs. Warners, Jersey Beauties, and another one I do not know by name; all of which were brought me by this kind neighbor. If we could set out and build a house every time we’d like to change from what we have, there would probably be many queer structures seen. When we rebuilt after the fire that burned our home I asked for no front porch. My reason was that we never had time to sit on one and it would be that much more to pay for and sweep. We put up a small affair that holds only two short benches, and have never missed a porch. If we were building again right now, the front door is what I’d leave off. About all ours is used for is to stick circulars under it when boys go around advertising something. Everyone who comes to see us enters by the side door. The flagstone walk at the _ront is so overgrown with grass you’d think it a fine spot of pasture. Closing up the front door for good would give me the vestibule for a big closet. I’m thinking about it. For the benefit of some who may not know, and because I have been asked about it by sev eral who wanted to know* I will say you can keep canning sirup for peaches or pears overnight in the refrigerator any time you find it more convenient to finish the work next day. You can also start on tomato juice, cooking it and run ning the pulp through a colander, letting the mixture cool, reheat ing and putting it in jars next day—or the day after that, if your refrigerator has the space "and temperature desired. I add salt when the tomatoes are first hot. But you’d better not fool vith corn. It demands respectful at tention and continued action till finished. Keep going, once you start on it. Dunn’s Grocery has little caps and rings to fit mayonnaise, pea nut butter and other jars having small openings. With them one can put up smaller quantities than pints. They are attractive enough to buy, even if not needed for economy's sake. Many of us en jcy working with miniatures. I have learned that a really good corn pudding can be made with white sirup and no sugar. Corn puddings don’t take much sweet ening anyway, but the little is to me a necessity. And the best cooked apples we have had this summer were quartered, unpeel ed, white sirup poured over with no water added, and the saucepan was set over the slowest heat and left until the fruit was tender. The sections were whole, trans parent, delightfully flavored. But I have not yet had the nerve to try sirup in tomato juice. It’s a pily that biscuit take more lard than almost any other kind of hot bread, and that so many Southerners regard them as indispensable. With good corn meal, buttermilk or clabber and soda you can make cornbread that does not need any shortening. Rolls made with yeast take less fat than biscuit, and you can make biscuit dough into a sort of pone that tastes pretty good when it would be tough, if rolled out and cut. But I’m free to confess that doing without lard is to me the most perplexing problem met to date in war shortages. Wakefield Revival Begins On Sunday The revival meeting at Wake field Baptist Churh will begin next Sunday night, August sth, at 8:30 P. M. The Rev. Chas. B.

SEEN & HEARD THE CAT CATCHER One day last week there was a man in town engaged in a thriving business that of public cat catcher. His name is Mark Gup ton of Walkertown, near Winston- Salem. He is a disabled World War I veteran. He had a half dozen crates filled with cats of al most any color, size and age. He travels over the state and when he comes to a town or a home in the country, he inquires if there are any chicken-catching cats that owners want disposed of. With cajoling, feed and traps he catches them. He got one cat from Zeb ulon that was tremendous in size. He said the family where he stayed said he constantly caught chickens. The cats are used by the Caro lina Laboratories. First, they are put to sleep with morphine, then given a larger dose that kills them. Then they are used in laboratory experiments. If you have an ov er abundance of cats, just let the cat catcher know and he will be along with his net, truck and tempting bait. Soon that not wanted cat will be on his way away. Now if a dog catcher would only come along! He could do a thriving business in and around Zebulon to the joy of many people. ■ CARD OF THANKS To all who have been helpful and sympathetic in our sudden bereavement and deep sorrow we wish to express heartfelt appre-' ciation.

C., Friday, August 3, 1945 Recorder's Court Henry Curtis Bailey, colored,; was in court charged with disor derly conduct.

Harvest Perry reaped from his own sowing—public drunkenness —with a SIO.OO fine and costs; Chester Faison, same crime, same judgment. Time and space forbid all the facts in which preacher James Garrison was involved, innocently perhaps at first. Rosa Wilson was charged with assault on Mary C.

Lack ing the revenue stamp cost him $15.00 and court costs. The way of the transgressor is hard and hot. Better behave. Blind Workers Help Airlines To Meet War Crisis Washington. American in genuity, plus tireless effort in ov ercoming war handicaps, enabled domestic airlines of the United States to handle a new all-time peak of traffic although their fleet was halved and personnel reduced a third early in the war. The Air Transport Association of America has traced some of the achievements which enabled the carriers to keep their liners in the air from 11 to 12 hours daily sometimes as high as 14 com pared to the usual 7 to 9 before Pearl Harbor. This was accom plished without slighting any of the regular maintenance check ups and the complete overhauls es sential to safety. One mechanic recently invented a machine for changing the huge 580-pound aircraft tires. It used to take six men 24 hours. Now it takes two men one hour. Time is saved in loading with an escalator for luggage and express. Lost washers, nuts, and screws were causing delays in the repair shops. One line discovered that blind people could do the quickest job of recovering and sorting the mis cellany. One line helped perfect the de velopment of 100 octane gasoline, a “must” in modern aviation. It also produced an indoor tester for landing gear, eliminating the time Zebulon Lad, 8 Killed By Auto James Leamon Long, eight year-old son of L. B. Long of Zeb ulon, was killed Friday afternoon when he was run over by an auto mobile driven by Mrs. L. D. Bunn of Zebulon, RFD. Coroner Roy M. Banks said that he had conducted an investigation concerning' the youth's death. Young Long, the coroner said, jumped from a wagon directly in front of Mrs. Bunn’s automobile, and died 15 minutes later in a lo cal doctor’s office. The boy, with a companion, had “hitched” a ride on Perry Chamblee’s two-horse wagon and were in front of Long’s house when the accident occurred. Funeral services were held from Zebulort Baptist Church Sunday at 3 p.m., conducted by the Rev. G. J. Griffin. Burial was in the Zeb ulon cemetery. Surviving are his parents; two brothers; one sister; his paternal grandfather, J. W. Long of Zebu lon, Route 1; and his maternal grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Harrell of Rocky Mount.

The airlines, likewise, perfected the art of making one plane do the' work of three, not by flying overtime, but by introducing a science of cargo packaging. For example, heavy pieces originally were crated in heavy wooden boxes which weighed often as much as the contents. Confident that planes were smoother riding than • freight cars, airline experts substituted paper bags for boxes; and, just to be sure, lashed their packages down with special straps and hooks. Greater loads of passengers, car go, and mail were made possible also through saving in many cases as much as 10 per cent of the gas oline required under pre-war standards of operation. $1.50 Per Year, In Advance CHURCH NEWS METHODIST CHURCH Services for Sunday, Au’gust 5: Preaching 8:30 P. M. Sermon topic, “Vital Religion”. Y. M. L. CLASS MEETS The Young Married Ladies Class of the Wakefield Baptist Church held its regular monthly meeting Friday night. July 27th, at the nome of Mrs. W. Raleigh Sherron with twelve members and three visitors present. Mrs. Wayne Collier gave a very interesting talk on Friendship. Mrs. Douglas Pace read A Good Friend, by Atmas, from the book “Heart Throbs”. During the social hour contests were enjoyed, with prizes awarded to the winners. The hostess, assisted by Miss Lois King, served ice cream, cake and toasted pecans. No. 5 Now Coming War Ration Book Five, “smaller than a dollar bill” and containing just half as many stamps as the last book issued, will be distrib- I uted through the public schools in December, Theodore S. Johnson, Raleigh OPA district director has announced. The new “A" gaso -1 line ration book will be issued at ; the same time. Distribution will take place from December 3 through December 15. The new “A” gasoline books will go into use December 22, and war ! ration book five will be used soon after the first of the year for food rationing and for rationing of j shoes. >• The new book will be a better book, Johnson said, to carry and handle. It will be as long as book four but only half as wide. The new stamps will be the same size, but will not have both a letter and a number as at present and OPA hopes the new edition will be the last of the series of wartime ration books. One hundred and fifty million copies of book five are now being printed. At the current rate of making | stamps good— five red stamps and five blue stamps at the be ! ginning of each month—war ra tion book five can last, if needed, about fifteen months. Because of the enormous job required to print and distribute ration books for about 130 million people it was decided to be on the safe side and provide for this period and avoid the expense of having to get out still another book later. PLEASANT HILL The Lord is blessing us with frequent showers of rain and the crops are fine in our section. Mr. J. B.
