Page Four This, That, and the Other By Mrs. Theo B. Davis The pumpkins are all gone ex cept one we think is not really good. My mentioning them in this Column brought results; but more was done by the spoken word. Thanksgiving Day Robert Ed Horton brought my husband and me home from church, and on the way Theo, not knowing 1 had tried out Flizabeth (Mrs. Robert Ed) on the pumpkin situation, of fered them some. Then h n sug gested that if they wouldn’t eat any themselves, thev take some for the hoes. In r°al surprise Robert Fd asked “Will hops eat pumpkins?” and ttv-n hlushed be cause we laughed so hard. Reading it, I was r°m ; nded of a girl’s b’ouse centmuallv sliooing around and up from her skirt belt, try putting a skirt to it so that it may serve as petticoat, too. Then it can’t all work out above the belt, and the part sewed On at the bottom is less bother to wash and iron than a slip would be. I have tried this plan and it really helps. Fashion writers tell us that col ored slips are again in high style. Heading it I was reminded of a friend’s saying that women’s un derwear ought never to be any colors except white or black. Rut when she said that we were look ing at an elderly woman who had On a thin black dress over a cheap slip of bright pink material, so she may not have wholly meant it. And a slip of a color that matches the dress it is worn with is much less inconspicuous if it shows, than the white border many of us con tinually display below the hems of Our skirts. At times I wonder whether peo ple are worse than ttmv used to be. or whether means of communi cation are partially responsible for Our feeling that the wor’d is in the worst condition in its history. Ac counts of robberies, murders and eex crimes cover pages in our pa pers; and we are told that in some c’ties women fear to walk outside their homes at night. Youths con fess to killing for a thrill. Men in high places stoop to stealing from them country. A modern Jeremiah could find plenty to weep over; aod we would most probably scorn his words as d’d those who heard such denun ciation centuries ago. Manv times T have seen a mock ingbird tease a cat. but seldom does one plav with a dog. Yet that, too, have T seen. On Wednesday afternoon the grandchildren’s little do*. Sue, was up here. Sue has for years cher ished a fond hone of catching an airplane or a bird, or both. So it was not surprising to see her in pursuit of a mocker that f’ew low from a holly bush to a palm tree, settled on the toomost twig and preened itself fearlessly as Sue treed and barked furiously. After a'little while the dog lost inter est. Then the bird swooned down, passing just above Sue’s head, and went back to the holly, where it POOLE WELDING SERVICE Phone 4262 Welding and Radiator Repair Auto Repair All Repairs on All Kinds of farm Equipment All-Steel Truck Bodies and Trailers Highway 264 - Wakefield sat in plain sight, appearing to enjoy the fit of barking it had caused. I don’t know how long they’d have kept up the game, for Ann went home and her dog had to go; but the bird is ready for another round. And Sue will come back. The late Senator J. W. Bai’ey is said to have advised office seekers not to try for a place that paid more than they were already mak ing. An increase in salarv, he thought, might cause an office holder to want the position for whet ; t could do for them: not for what thev mi*ht do for their coun try or their f°llowmen.

F. D. No. 2, Wendell, N. C. D. A. Richards, Mgr. The Zebulon Record UNION CHAPEL Remember church and Sunday School each Sunday morning. We are looking forward to the sermon that Mr. Evans will preach this Sunday. We had quite a few pres ent at church this past Sunday. Mr. and Mrs. Buck Richards were all smiles Sunday, having received the news by long dis tance telephone from their son, Clifford Richards, Saturday p. m., of the arrival of twin boys to him and his wife, Edna. She is a pa tient in Arlington Hospital, Va. They have one other son, Robert Keith, two years old. They have recently completed a new home °nd ?re now living in it at Fair fax County, a few miles out of Ar lington. Christmas is on its way at last. We have just 24 more shopping days ahead of us. Preoarations have been made for the big Christ mas program which we have at our church. Following the pro gram Santa wi’l come and talk to l ; ttle children,. Gifts will he presented. A date will be an nounced later for the program. We are sorry to hear that our neighbor, Heber Creech, lost his milk ccw last Sunday night. She died from eating too many sweet potatoes. Mr. and Mrs. B. B. Richards were visitors at their daughter’s home, Mr. and Mrs. Curtis Horton of Bunn, Sunday. Mrs. George Mangum, Mr. Le land Moynard and son, Hubert, and Mr. Eugene Mitchell were Sunday afternoon visitors of Mr. and Mrs. Sterling Mitchell. Mr. and Mrs. Julian Mitcheß and Mr. and Mrs. Cardie Ferrell were visitors of Mr. Jack Creech Sunday night. Mr. and Mrs. Sterling Mitchell and son, Bennie, Mr. and Mrs. Vancy Lee Denton and son, Dwight, were visitors with Mr. Buck R’chards Sunday night. This has been a busy w»ek with some of the neighbors in this section. The hog killing is just about over, and I am sure some of the women are glad it is over. Mr. and Mrs. Morris Hicks have just completed their new home. All it lacks now is just moving in it. They built it near the airport. Other people are remodeling their old homes too. Mr. and Mrs. Buck Richards have started to remodel their’s inside. I want to say for myself that it certainly does look nice, and it will still look better when completed. Mr. and Mrs. George Mangum and Mr. Leland Maynard and son, Hubert, visited in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Joe Cunningham Satur day night. There are quite a few winter colds going through the commun- : ty. The colds have struck and made people feel sickly. The ones are Mr. Vancy Lee Denton and Mr. Sterling Mitchell. Hope they will feel better soon. Mrs. Janice Denton TABERNACLE The heating system is in the church now, and last Sunday the auditorium was very comfortable. We urge everyone who has been staying home for this reason to ?ome next Sunday, and you will find it very p’easant. Last Sunday we had a wonder ful sermon by W. C. Barham, a voun* minister from Wake For est College, whose home is in Bar ham Commun’tv near Role~v ; Fe. On the second Sunday of No vember we had as our visiting minister Mr. Ashly. a voung man whose home is in Durham, but we understand that he is at pres ent living in Wilmington.
