This, That & The Other By Mrs. Thee B. Davis Last week in a Raleigh store I saw a lovely tray made either of glass or one of the new plasties. It was pale green with a spray of dogwood and the leaves a deeper green and the blossoms a glisten ing white. But it w>as spoiled by having, in addition to the blooms, closed buds towards the end of the spray. Those who know dog wood know that it never has flow er buds. The white petals, which 1 are not true blossoms, after all, ] begin wide opeh. I'd not care for that tray, even if I were able to , afford it. j I read Monday that holly for decorations this Christmas will have no berries, due to cold weath er and late frosts; that any with berries offered for sale has prob ably been shipped from the west ern part of this country, probably from Oregon. But both our large trees are full of berries. It may be that they’ve had a better chance than wild ones as to cultivation and en riched soil, and for some reason the frost did not kill their blooms. Last Sunday was the day my husband had promised to conduct a study course at Watkins Chapel, using the book on Miss Lottie Moon’s life. But he was sick and unable to leave home. There was no way to notify the missionary society, so at the appointed hour they were surprised to see, instead of Mr. Davis and Miss Moon, Mrs. Davis and William MacDonald, Chilean missionary. I had taught that book, which is his biography, and we thought they might pre fer hearing it to no study class. It was unusual to see so many Sunday School pupils, not only staying for the class, but listening with most gratifying attention. This added to the pleasure of the occasion for me, as did the goodly number of men present. They probably would have waited any way, to take their wives and chil dren home but they listened. This was my first trip to Wat kins Chapel. We found the Mr. Parker who works at City Mar ket here superintending the Sun day school there. He goes out there every Sunday with Mrs. Parker and their two children. The church is near Emit and is neat and well kept, standing in a grove of oaks. Nylon cloth is coming on the market. My feeling about it is somewhat the same as when I first Continued on Page Eight Robert Ed Horton Speaks to Rotary Robert Ed Horton spoke to the Rotarians Friday night when they met at Tipplon. His subject was “Problems the Farmer Has to Face.” According to Robert Ed, good farming requires more skill than does any other occupation. There are no books which the farmer can use, so when trouble strikes, he must depend upon his own common sense. One good thing about being a Rotarian, says Robert Ed, is that now he can call Early Moser by his first name and not be afraid to face the consequences. The whole club gathered round to congratulate Robert Ed on his excellent talk, which was timed at 24 minutes 10 seconds. Next week the club will meet at Luther Massey’s, where a Christmas program will be given. WAKELON PLAYS STRONG METHODISTS FRIDAY NIGHT THE ZEBULON RECORD Volume 22. No. 14. Sentence Still Not Passed In Williams Case Testimr ny was completed last | Wednesday in Wake Superior , Court in the case of State vs. i Russell Williams. Williams plead- | ed guilty to two charges of illegal possession and sale as taxpaid whiskey and one charge of illegal possession of taxpaid whiskey. Judge Irby Gill had previously sentenced Williams to a total of 12 months on the roads and had fined him SIOO and costs after Williams was convicted in the local Recorders Court. Williams appealed the judgment, and when brought before Judge R. Hunt Parker pleaded guilty. Judge Park er deferred judgment until this week. Several ABC agents testified in the trial in addition to J. D. Davis, the undercover agent to whom the whiskey on the first two counts was allegedly sold. Davis said he paid $5.00 for a pint of Three Feathers whiskey on October 6, and $9.00 for a fifth of PM on October 13. He testified that on each occasion he observed “teen aged boys and girls drinking whiskey and beer.” ABC Officer T. C. Womble tes tified that shortly thereafter he and other ABC officers found 8 pints of Three Feathers in Russ ell’s Place when they entered it with a search warrant. Deputy Sheriff G. C. Massey testified that he had never observ ed any teen-agers drinking beer J or whiskey at the establishment, but that the place has a bad rep utation for the sale of whiskey.

The tubes are larger, hut they bum less electricity and give more light. Fluorescent Lighting Great Help in Kitchen These Lights Can Be Boon to Home By Selma Harris Davis So you’re thinking of modern izing your kitchen with some of the new streamlined fluorescent lighting! Then take a tip from your Zebulon electric dealers— ! they know. Be sure to select a ceiling fix ture giving enough light to do a good lighting job, which, for the average kitchen in this section will consist of two fluorescent tubes, each 48 inches long. How ever, in some of the older and larger homes of this section the tubes should be 60 inches long— in houses in which the kitchen is used for a dining room as well as cooking. . These 48-inch tubes burn only 40 watts of electricity each, yet together they give almost as much light as a 200 watt filament bulb. When you come to Zebulon to I buy your fixtures, remember that | the amount of light they give is in direct proportion to their size. ! That’s why it’s best to steer away from that too-small fixture using smaller tubes, such as those sold at some Raleigh cutrate stores. The smaller units may look big enough, but even allowing for the fact that fluorescent light is two end one-half times as efficient as the filament bulb, the smaller j fixture still doesn’t give enough light for the tasks you do in the | kitchen, like grating slaw and ' reading recipes for cakes and pies. In addition, if you read in the kitchen or the children do their lessons there, you again need the larger tubes. Having picked out a good ceil ing fixture to do an overall light ing job in the kitchen, you ought select special spots to nut other | lights; because of their long slim Continued on Page Five CHURCH NEWS r MKTHODIST CHURCH Church School, 10 A M.

Tuck was shot by Ed Privette, another Zebulon Negro, who left the scene of the crime immediately after the shooting, Sheriff Massey said. Coroner Roy M. Banks said that an autopsy showed that the charge punctured Tuck’s right lung and lived. Tuck lived for about 30 minutes after the shooting, Banks said, but died before reaching St. Agnes Hospital in Ralefgh. 51.50 Per Year, In Advance Death of Local Woman Blow To Community The death of Mrs. Ted Pippin on Wednesday evening, December 5, shocked and saddened this com munity. The former Martha Bailey Flowers, she made her home here with her mother, Mrs. S. G. Flow ers, since Capt. Pippin, of the AAF, was ordered overseas. She had very recently come home from a Raleigh hospital with her infant daughter, Jean Marie, and was thought to be doing well when a heart attack ended her life. Through the Red Cross contact ! was finally made with the hus band in Amsterdam, Holland. It was impossible for him to reach home at this time and he directed that the last rites be held as de cided upon by the relatives. On Saturday afternoon in the Metho dist Church Pastor C. E. Vale, as sisted by Pastor R. H. Hughes of Wakefield Baptist Church, con ducted a quiet, impressive service that was followed by burial in the Zebulon cemetery. Many attend ed from a distance and there was not room for all in the church. After graduation with honors at Wakelon, Mrs. Pippin attended Brenau College, Gainesville, Ga.; WCUNC, Greensboro; and King’s Business College, Charlotte. For some time before her marriage in June, 1942, she was employed by the Peoples Bank and Trust Com pany here. Besides her husband, mother and daughter, she is survived by one sister, Mrs. Matthew Liles, Jr., of Norfolk, Va., and one brother, Sultan G. Flowers of Zebulon. Basketball Friday The Wakelon High School bask etball teams will clash with the strong Methodist Orphanage rep resentatives Friday night in the Wakelon Gymnasium. The Meth odist boys usually come out with one of the strongest teams in this part of the state. Last year they played Red Oak in the local gym nasium for the district champion ■ ship. First game is at 7:30. The shooting occurred in front ' of Nathan Brock’s store, about a mile west of Zebu Jon. Sheriff Massey said that Tuck and Privctte apparently got into an argument over a girl and that Privette picked up a shotgun. He fired when Tuck began running down the highway, deputies said. Tuck recently was discharged from the service after serving three years overseas in North Af rica, Sicily, and Italy. He reen listed in the Army two weeks ago at Fort Bragg, and was ordered to report back next week for assign ment. Coroner Banks said that ho probably will hold an inquest af | ter officers apprehend Privette.
