This, That & The Other By Mrs. The t b. Davis An ad in Sunday's paper told of “dynamic hats” for sale and expatiated on their attractions. Now I'm watching for “atomic hats”. No doubt they'll be simply killing and will slay you, out def initely, my dear?. A North Carolina editor has said that the war just ended is only tne military phase of the fighting wfl have done and must do for the essential freedoms. The victory has not yet been won as regards even in our own country. Democracy is a process, not a par ty; and none of us now living will see it in the fulness of completion. Whethei our descendents see it depends largely upon us Wakelon School had a good pa per last year, pupils doing the work under supervision of the teachers. This term's first issue goes out Friday. I read proof on it and want to give enough ad vance publicity to say the new staff has taken hold in earnest and their paper is well worth reading. The reporters have covered ev ery phase of school activity from the first grade on up to the elev enth. Extra-curricular projects are featured and the P.T.A. has its space. Misses Olive and Bright of the high school faculty are again advisors. Many, many times m> husband has hired men to go to our place to mow the lawn or do other work around the place and we have gone home to find favorite shrubs, trees or plants uprooted, cut down or mangled. So when I was told Douglas Pace was up there at work, know ing the place has nev er before been in such a state of raggedness and neglect, I was actually afraid to go home. But I had to go. To my great relief not one thing had been mowed or cut that shouldn't have been. The pearl bushes, tamarix and almond put out last fall were not much taller than the grass around them; but Douglas had not let his trac tor touch them. This is a card of thanks in appreciation for care fulness. A story used by a preacher in illustration told of an old man planting walnuts and saying he knew it takes fifty years for a walnut tree to come into bearing, but he was doing it for those who were to come after him. As an illustration it was all right; but there’s no need for a w'alnut tree to take half of fifty years before bearing. In our back yard is one that sprouted from the nut since our home was burned not quite sixteen years ago. It has borne for several years and this fall w T e shall have at least two bushels of walnuts, before hulling. On Monday when Elizabeth Horton came by the shop to take me to the meeting of our mission ary society her little niece, not yet five, came to tell me the car was waiting. Taking one look around the place, which is yet far from being in order, Sarah asked, “Why do live here?” Sometimes I wonder about it myself; but I explained that I just work at the shop and go home to eat and sleep: and that seemed to make Sarah feel better. Flowers Speaks On Monday afternoon the Wo man's Auxiliary to the Medical Association of Wake County was addressed by Dr. Charles E. Flow ers, Jr., of Johns Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore, Md. He discussed “The Trend for Specialists in Modern Medicine", giving the history of the development of specialization in Medicine with attendant ad vantages and disadvantages. “Spe cialization”, said Dr. Flowers, “as sures the patient of better care, requires long years of training to attain the necessary qualifica tions.” Dr. Flowers is the son of Dr. and Mrs. C. E. Flowers and is assist ant resident in obstetrics in Johns Hopkins Hospital. The Malcolm Martins have bought the house on Sycamore street known as the William Brantley home and have moved into it. For the present J. V. Priv- ; ette and son have rooms with the Martins having lived in this house . for some years. THE ZEBULON RECORD Volume 22. No. 8 Seen & Heard SOME FISH Have you seen that big fish Druggist Daniels caught at More head City last Friday? He and the two Dr. Flowers and Cliff Faison went down Thursday evening and went fishing the next day. Dr. Flowers let three big ones get away; Dr. Charles, Jr., caught one and Dr. Daniel caught two, the largest weighing around 15 pounds. They also caught a lot of smaller “fry”. The big one brought home was what the fishermen call a bonita. It is known as belong ing to the tuna species. Anyway, it was one fine fish. The boys had, from their account, a mighty fine time on the trip. CAN HEAR NOW Since the Record plant was moved to new quarters there has been some complaint about the i phone's not being answered when it rings. The phone is in the office, it has been hard to hear the tiny bell when the door was closed or machinery running. The situation ! has been- remedied. On Monday A. A. Beal, for Southern Bell, in | stalled midway of the shop a gong | that rings loudly enough to wake i the dead —or, at least, the nearly dead. Now you can surely be heard when you ring 2561. REMEMBER WHEN? Thirty-five or forty years ago when a circus came to Zebulon and the elephants were watered from the well in the back of the building where W. B. Bunn and Co. were formerly located. There were not so many houses in town then and no public drinking plac es. (There was not even a beer joint, much less an ABC store). When the circus reached town the elephants were driven down main street to the well near the back end of John Bunn’s store and wat ered. Bernice says that one of the elephants stuck his head into the well, but his “hose” wasn’t long enough to reach water. Dave Privette tells the story and says this was “day before yistiady..” THE POLITEST MAN Riding down town a few days ago two citizens passed R L. Is aacs and one of them called to him, “Hello, R. L.” Isaacs bowed and waving his hand, answered the greeting. One man turned to the other and said, “There goes the most polite man in North Ca rolina.” “Dere Sirs: Please send me my money back. After taking six cans of yore corn syrup my feet ain't no better than they wuz. —Exchange. C. E.

ZEBULON BOOMING AS NEW BUSINESSES OPEN Work goes steadily ale on the new Freezer Plant, bu. much more slowly than if more labor could be secured. William Bunn is renovating with wall board and paint the building formerly occupied by the W. B. Bunn wholesale grocery company. He expects in a very short time to open a complete line of electrical appliances such as stoves, refrigerators, radios, hot plates, etc. He will also be prepar ed to service anything electrical. Jud Robertson has built a large room for office and display in the garage building back of the City Market. He will also carry a full line of the latest in electrical conveniences and supplies, giving service in electrical repairs and installations. He expects to open Victory Quota Wake County, including Raleigh, must raise $4,183,000, if the quota assigned for the Victory Loan is met. The campaign will begin Monday, October 29, and will last until December 8. Fred Dixon is again general chairman for the county. Monday has been designated “Roosevelt Bond Day”, when the new Roosevelt Victory Loan Bonds will be on sale for the first time. The purchase price of these bonds is $l5O and Wake County’s special quota is 1,000 of them. Local chairmen have not report ed to this paper the quota for Lit tle River Township. Announce ment will be made later. PAPERJCOUTS On Friday afternoon from 3:30 to 4:00 the Boy Scouts will collect waste paper in the current paper drive. Due to the inability to secure trucking facilities and workers strong enough to bale the paper, the Woman’s Club is turning all paper saved for it over to the Boy Scout troop. The Scouts plan to collect the paper, sell it to a Ral eigh firm, and bank the money for use in buying new equipment at a later date. PUT YOUR OUT FRIDAY AFTERNOON SO THIS TROOP MAY GET IT! Sing, a Son£, of Praise for the Old Tin Heater —by Ted Davis — You can sing your praises of the Warm Morning heaters, the pot bellied stoves, or the Ashley heat ers that do everything from car rying out the ashes to laying out your robe, slippers and favorite pipe, but for me there will never be an equal of the little tin heater. My first contact with the tin heater was a the tender age of five when I leaned over to tie my shoe and backed my naked posterior into one. I've alwavs had a sneaking suspicion that that was where the cooking term “me dium rare" originated. That also accounts for the fact that I never warm my back first as do -most men and all women. I have much respect, as well as love for the T. H. Original cost, even in these days of brink-inflation, of the tin toves won’t run much over three dollars. Upkeep is unheard of, bwcause the end of cold weather each spring finds the heater either in the attic, the woodshed or the junk pile. On those mornings that you put off getting up because it’s so cold even the mercury in the thermometer won’t rise, there’s nothing like throwing the evening paper and one of your socks in the stove for a quick heat. Os codrse you can throw a complete Sunday edition in and the heater will walk out the front door. And another thing, it puts out a heat you can hear as well as feel. $1.50 Per Year, In Advance as soon as electrical goods are available. The Page Store Co. is gradually expanding their line of merchan dise till they will be able, if they continue to enlarge, to supply al most anything for the home or farm. They have added a number of articles this fall that they have not carried heretofore. Eger Massey has bought two lots from the town of Zebulon next to the Record Publishing Co.’s place. According to the sale, he is obli gated to build either two buildings costing not less than $2,500 each or one costing $5,000 on the lots. So we may expect another modern business building to be erected sometime within the year on these lots. Ruric Gill has bouught the lot just west of the Dawson filling station and garage he now occu pies and expeccts at an early date to begin the erection of a garage and filling station on this location. Irby D. Gill has excavted from his filling sation back to the alley next to Wallace Temple’s. It’s un derstood that he will enlarge the building which houses his station office and the bus depot very soon. He will also arrange for all buses to circle the bus station and stop in the rear. This will relieve the present congestion and also danger to pedestrians and passen gers who congregate at the front. The beautiful new cottage of Professor Ellington has been com pleted and his family is now oc cupying it. A number of new homes are contemplated in Zebulon in the near future if lots are available and material can be secured. If the Hopkins brothers (Cecil and Billy K.) carry through with their projected plan of cutting up their recently purchased William Hor ton square into building lots, and erecting modest homes for rent or sale, tbey will be real benefactors of our growing community. Work has been resumed on C. V. Whitley’s barn in the western part of town. Beyond any doubt it probably will be the best arranged and most modern barn of its kind in eastern Wake county. It will contain a grading room, harness room, tool and machine storage space, wash room, stables and storage for feeds, including a long side room where stock may exer cise on bad wintry days. When you hear a T. H puffing like a Norfolk and Southern local without any sand, you don’t have to look to see if there’s any heat, you know without looking that the stove, pipe and mantel are all giving out with heat. As a method of keeping a room comfortable throughout a cold day. one must be a combustion expert and have a thorough knowledge of the burning charac teristics of preen and dry outsides, as w r ell as a perfect sense of tim ine. because you have to add ex actly the right amount of the right kind of wood at the righ 4 moment or it’s too late, bud. and you have to start from scratch again. Now here’s a tip that will work 'well if vou have trouble petting coal or oil this winter.. Cut a piece of tin to fit the door of your oil or coal stove, then in that tin cut a hole to fit a ioint of stove pipe. When that is done, fit the tin in the door of vour regular stove, put the ioint of pipe in the tin and fit the other end of the pine to a small tin heater. After the initial fitting it will only be a matter of minutes to set it up for these mornings when all the heat you need for the day is enough to take the edge off the air. Just be sure to remember how the heater loves to walk and ride herd on it so it won’t sneak up behind and warm one section of your anatomy too quickly. In the cool of the day, the tin heater will always get my grateful, respectful vote of thanks.
