This, That &
The Other
By Mrs. Theo B. Davis
Mrs. L. G. Faulkner was in the
office last Thursday and told me
about boiling her first potful
of soap after reading the clear
directions sent to the Record by
Mrs. T. Y. Puryear, and she had
fine success.
If you were troubled with thrips
on your gladiolus last summer, be
sure to tie up the corms in bags
when dug. adding an ounce of
napthalene to each hundred
corms and letting them stay for
three weeks. Then place in open
boxes till planting time again.
Thrips are tiny insects that cause
the blossoms to blight or have
white speck 5.. And glad bulbs
are not really bulbs, but corms.
It is time now to dig them, if it
has not already been done. Be
sure to keep all the tiny, new
ones you may find on the big
corms. Also take off ihe old,
decayed corm found at the base
of the newer ones. That’s why it
is best to take up glads every two
years at least. The ones that die
may infect the others. In this
climate they seldom die from
freezing, and we are prone to
leave them in one place too long.
At least. I am.
When it comes to using partly
worn shirts. I thought I knew all
the answers; for I’ve made from
them babies’ aprons, little boys’
rompers and blouses, sunsuits,
aprons for myself*- pajainaJtai>*i

that from a pre war shift jvitn
collar too worn fbr further service
one can make a pair of s horts
almost as good as brand new. It
takes all but one sleeve of Hhe old
garment to make the new one;
and you need not try to use
any but pre-war shirts. The ones
sold during the war are too
skimpy to be made into anything
but dustcloths.
However, I'm a bit worried as
to what we’d better do with that
sleeve not needed for the shorts.
One reason I was so glad to get

Some time ago a market sold me
forty pounds of soup bones, and
some of them had some meat left
on. First of all we —my son s
wife and I cut off enough meat
to run through the food-chopper
for the best meat patties I ever
ate. Next, I cooked the bones un
der fifteen pounds pressure until
the remaining meat was ready to
fall from them. This was also run
through the food chopper. Weigh
ing showed we had seven pounds
of cooked meat after taking out
enough to go in some of the stock
for a big potful of soup. The
stock was cooled and most of the
fat was taken off. (That’s where
the grease came from for making
extra nice soap.) Next the stock
was re-heated, the ground meat
added with salt to taste, and the
mixture was put into quart glass
jars and processed. The result
was seven quarts of a product bet
ter than Spam, or any other com
mercially canned meat I’ve seen
since the war began. It was won
derful in soup; may be heated,
thickening added and used over
toast; may be made into sauce
for spaghetti, or used for sand
wiches. And it gives me the most
comfortable, prepared -for - an -
emergency feeling to have it on
the pantry shelf.
Monday morning the grandson
who is nearly four was downstairs
before his mother was awake. He
came to the kitchen and as I cook

anese and Germans and be anni
hilated by air-raids and ground
raids. A lightning change made
me a public enemy and the Lone
Ranger shot me as he dashed by
on Silver. Another change turned
me into a prisoner, watched by a
grim-faced guard who covered my
every move with his gun held
carefully between the slats of a
chair - back. By that time I was ,

Wakelon Bulldogs Drop Opener
To Wake Forest, 19-14, On Friday
Wakelon’s Bulldogs went down
fighting Friday afternoon to lose
their first football game of the
! season to Wake Forest, 19-14.
I Wake Forest came from behind
twice, scoring three times on
passes, to take the game.
Wakelon, playing their first
game in five years, showed a va
riety of tricky plays that kept
them deep in Wake Forest terri
tory most of the afternoon. Led
by Croom and Richards in the
backfield and Debnam in the line,
the Bulldogs played heads-up
ball all the way.
Wake Forest kicked off to start
the game. Wakelon took the ball
on their own 35, and seven
minutes later scored on a 10-yard |
pass from Richards to Green. !
Baxter Hopkins came in to kick !
but booted the ball low. Wake
lon led, 6-0, at the quarter.
Wakelon, bottling up a ragged
Wake Forest offense, took the
ball in the second quarter and
moved deep into Wake Forest
territory on tricky plays, featur- j
ing a variety of laterals. Wake.
Forest intercepted a Bulldog pass
on their own 10 and ran it back
25 yards. Six passes and two
laterals later. Wake Forest scor
ed. They took the lead, 7-6, j
when they passed for the extra
point.
Wakelon took thte kickoff and
again lost the ball as the alert
Wake Foresters intercepted an
other pass. They scored with
only a minute to play when the
right end slipped behind the Wake
lon right half to take a pass in the
end zone, but failed in their kick
for the extra point. The half
ended with Wake Forest in the
lead, 13-6.
Wakelon showed the form they
began the game with as the third
quarter began. After the kickoff

' Wake Forest failed to gain, and
kicked to the Bulldogs. A 35-yard
| pass from Croom to Duke put
Wakelon in scoring position.
Three plays later Debnam made
a beautiful catch from Duke to
1 score. Hopkins made the kick
good and Wakelon went into the
lead, 14-13.
Four minutes later, Wake For
! est, on their own 40-yard line,
made good a pass to the Wake
lon 40. The end, tackled . hard
by the Wakelon half-back, fum
bled the ball, which bounced
into the hands of the Wake For
est end, who sidestepped the
Bulldog safety man and scored
the winning touchdown. Their
pass for the extra point was no
good. Wake Forest won, 19-14.
Six-man football is a new sport
for Wakelon. Fast and tricky, ,
it proves to be interesting and
exciting to watch. For those*
who have yet to see a game, the
following pointers are given. The
ball must either be passed or lat
eraled on every play. The man
who receives the ball from cen
ter must not run with it until
a pass or lateral has been made.
Fifteen yards are necessary for
a first down, compared with
10 yards in 11-man footballl.
A pass or run for an extra point
scores one point. A drop-kick
of place-kick scores two.
Wake Forest was more experi
enced than Wakelon, having
played both 11-man and 6-man
games before Friday. Their re
serves, tho few, were capable and
large, and proved to be the de
ciding factor in the game.
Wakelon was handicapped by
lack of weight among the second
and third stringers. However,
Croom, Richards and Duke are
First Town Meeting
To Be Held Friday
Irby Gill Speaks
To Rotary Friday
The Zebulon Rotary continued
to hold 100 per cent meetings on
Friday night, when they met at
Tipplon and heard Irby Gill speak
on “Making Our Community Bet
ter.”
In his speech, Irby pointed out
the necessity of good churches and
schools before there could be a
good community. But the prime
requirement for good communities,
says Irby, is good people in the
community.
The speech,, which Irby said his
wife wrote, showed considerable
thought, and drew compliments
fr r m Program Chairman Early
Moser, and congratulations from
the other members.
Robert Ed Horton was welcomed
back into the Club. Robert is an
old member, but too much work
caused him to have to withdraw
from Rotary for the past months.
Dr. Luther Massey brought a
suggestion from Dr. E. C. Daniel
that the town of Zebulon begin
monthly town meeting, so that our
citizens could get together for a
general discussion of community
problems. After discussion, the
Club decided to have the first
town meeting in the Carolina Pow
er & Light building on Friday
night, November 9. at 7:45 p.m.
Ralph Talton says that he can get
together plenty of chairs, but the
Club hopes attendance wil be so
good that the CPL show room will
not hold them all.
A story on the meeting will be

Wakelon a big offensive threat.
The biggest trouble with the I
Wakelon offense was faulty
blocking. Speedy Bulldog run- j
ners were stopped before they (
could get started by Wake Forest I
linemen who slipped by the in

weak.
Coach Lowry has scheduled
another game with Wake Forest

Zebulon Supply Co.
Gets New Frigidaires
“Frigidaire, the World’s largest
manufacturers of refrigerators,
now has an increasing number of
refrigerators available to the pub
lic.” said the Zebulon Supply Co.,
the local Frigidaire dealer in Zeb
ulon. “Construction on the first
model began in July of this year
and the finished products were
temporarily frozen in a govern
ment stockpile; however , the
restriction on the sale of refriger
ators to the public has been lift
ed and Frigidaires are now avail
able for civilian consumption.”
Norman Screws, in discussing
the features of the new Frigid
aires, said, “They have all of the
prewar features and quality de
veloped by Frigidaire. The per

There will be a town meeting on
Friday night, November 9, at 7:45
p.m., in the show room of the Car
olina Power & Light Co. The meet
ing will be held to discuss com
munity problems, and if success
ful, will be the first of a series of
monthly affairs.
Dr. E. C. Daniel, who suggested
the idea, will serve as chairman
for the first meeting.
Town meetings, long an institu
tion in New England towns, are
recognized as the most democratic
form of government found any
where. New proposals are thrashed
out and voted on by all citizens.
It is hoped that attendance Fri
day night will be good, so that a
Town Meeting organization may
be set up for the future.
Be sure to come, for there are
a great many problems that may
be solved. If you have a town
lot for sale, or if you are looking
for a place to build, or if there is
some matter of community life that
worries you, this is your chance to
get it settled.
The Zebulon Rotary Club is
sponsoring the affair as part of
their program for community bet
terment.

McClellan Field, Calif. Sgt.
Raye F. Bailey today received his
honorable discharge at this sta
tion. Entering the service in Oc
tober, 1941, at Fort Bragg, he was
trained as a heavy armorman. He
was then sent overseas and re
mained there 32 months. Bailey
! was at Russell Island and at
Guadalcanal.
He came here from Camp Pine
| dale, Calif. In civilian life he op
erated a farm and hopes to take
up where he left off at the out
break of the war. He wears the
S. W. Pacific Ribbon with one
battle star. During his Army ca
-1 reer he accumulated 84 points.
He resides in Zebulon with his
j mother, Mrs. Minnie Parrish.
Ralph Mitchell, Jr., seaman,

wing which is engaged in return
ing RAMP’s (recovered Allied
military prisoners) back to the
States from the Pacific.
The “magic carpet” unit is Air
Transport Squadron 12, which is
giving No. 1 priority to the return

Planes of the unit are flying ov

refrigft-ators,” added Mr. Screws.
“The five-year protection plan on
sealed-in mechanism is again
proof that Frigidaire workman
ship and the quality of its pro
ducts are among the best avail
able. When Frigidaire’s war con
tract construction of 50-caliber
machine guns expired in July of
1945, Frigidaire, with the author
ity of the War Production Board,
began its first producti on of re
frigerators since April 30, 1942.
Though production on refriger
ators is exceeding the most op
timistic wartime predictions
there are still not enough Frigid
aires to meet the ever-increasing
demand, but officials at the Frig
idaire’s plants believe a daily
production of several thousand
refrigerators is possible in the
near future,” concluded Mr.
Screws.
