THE ZEBULON RECORD Volume XXIV. Robert Ed Horton Tells of Journey To Bureau Meet We left Raleigh at 9:30 Satur day a. m., December 10. We went to Asheville where the Farm Bu reau Delegates from South Caro lina joined us. We rode the Sou thern by Knoxville, Tennessee, on into Cincinnati, and there we changed to the New York Central. We had a very nice trip all the way. We arrived in Chicago about 3:30 Sunday afternoon. We went to the Congress Hotel, registered, and rested for a while. Sunday night I attended servic es at the Moody Church, founded in 1864 by the late Dwight L. Moody. Dr. H. A. Ironside deliv ered the message, preceded by one hour of music. Monday at 9:30 a. m., we met in the Ball Room at Stevens Ho tel for general sessions. The day was taken up mostly with confer ences on different crops grown. The tobacco conference was the one I was most interested in so I spent most of the day there. I feel that I received a lot of help ful information. Tuesday was the big day of the convention. We assembled at 9:30 a. m. The opening music and songs were furnished by the Wil son Mount Program Manager of ra dio station W. M. C., Memphis, Tennessee. The meeting was call ed to order by President Allen B. Kline. Invocation by Bishop H. Clifford, Northcott Methodist Church, Madison, Wisconsin. Then introduction of guests. offices, board members, annual report and roll call by Wilfred Shaw, Sec retary. All who could sing then joined in singing “American Farm Bureau Spirit.” The President of the American Farm Bureau Fee oration, Allen B. Kline, then gave the annual ad dress. He was a very interesting speaker, strongly opposing the Brannan Farm Plan and also brought out the fact that if we are to continue to get our fair share, we must have an every member farm plan. The afternoon session was given over to Eric Johnston. His sub ject, “The Farmer—World Citi zen.” George H. Wilson, from Cal ifornia, “An American Farm Sees the World.” The Honorable Albert Gore, Congressman from Tennessee, (Continued on Page 3) Christmas Program Given for Clubs The Womans Club was the scene of a beautiful Christmas meeting of the two womans clubs last Tuesday night. Miss Marilyn Alderman was in charge of the program for the Junior Club. Mrs. L. M. Massey sang several selec tions accompanied by Miss Aider man. A recording of “Why the Chimes Rang” was played. Guests were greeted at the door by Mrs. J. F. Coltrane and Mrs. E. C. Daniel. The entire club, door mantel, piano, had been decorated in the Christmas motif by members of the Senior Clu.j, which was hostess for the night. The dining table decorated by Mrs. Charles Flowers and Mrs. J. K. Barrow was centered with an arrangement of red berries and silver leaves and candles. Mrs. Charles Flowers was hostess in the dining room assisted by Mes dames Wallace Chamblee and F. L. Page. Mrs. R. H. Herring poured punch. Number 37. Some Things Look Simple, But They Ain't Half as Simple as Some People! Pancakes are, to me, very de licious to eat. And. until one evening last week, I thought they were very easy to make. They look like nothing at all compli cated—just lit'tle round flat things cooked in a pan. Having attended Wakelon School for eleven winters, I departed that institution with the ability to read Early Moser’s handwriting and Sears & Roebuck catalogues, so I figured that the recipe on a box of pancake mix would be simple to such a learned gent as I. It is with crestfallen spirits and burned fingers that I report such is not the truth. It takes more — much more—than a knowledge of the alphabet to cook. Before I relate this sad tale. I shall state that the wife insisted, before I began, that she could make the pancakes, and I, fool that 1 1 was, chased her from the kitchen by haughtily reminding her that the best cooks are always men. Lit tle did I know! I got along pretty good in stir ; ring the milk and the mix together. Zebulon, N.

Mullin Jimmy Greene Mrs. Barrie Davis Hilliard Greene Jack Potter I was not as neat as lady cooks, I’ll admit, but give us another week and we’ll have the splashed batter all wiped off the ceiling. The directions said to get the water to dance around on it. It did n’t specify whether it should be a rhumba, fox trot, or waltz, so I had to use my own until-then infallible judgment. It seemed to me that, rather FRIGID FIRE Members of the Zebulon Volun teer Fire Department are still shivering after their frigid ride to Middlesex last Friday night to answer a call for help from the Middlesex Voluteeers. The wintry wind chilled them to the bone as they raced unprotected on the six mile drive. Willie B. Hopkins reported that the Middlesex Fire Department had done an excellent job and lit tle work was left for the Zebulon truck. The fire was in the cotton gin located on highway 264 in Middlesex. than pancake batter, I had in vented a new recipe for synthetic rubber, because that stuff s.uck i to the grill, to the spataul, the stove, the wall, and me. Before I could get it unstuck, it started to scorch and burn and the furniture got so full of smoke that when ever anybody sits down on it smoke rings rise around them. The wife finally fought her way through the smoke into the kitchen and dragged me, poor gasping half-dead creature that I was, away from the stove and into the fresh air. And there I lay, too weak to move or to care. The tantalizing smell of delicious wafted past my nostrils and brought me around. Judy had been a busy gal while I was recuperating. She’d clean ed up and aired out the kitchen and hac done right what I had done wrong. I staggered to the table and re gained enough strength to con sume 23 pancakes. Ah women, they’re wonderful! —Barrie Davis Theo. Davis Sons, Publishers Battery A Halts All Recruiting; Training Planned All National Guard recruiting was ended on Friday of last week for Battery A, 113 FA Bn, when Capt. Barrie Davis, Commanding Officer of the unit, received a tel egram advising him that the local battery would be authorized only the strength it had attained as of December 20. The order was made because of budgetary limita tions for the National Guard of the United States. Battery A has made very good progress since the recruiting cam paign began early in November. The state goal of ten recruits set for each unit was exceeded by the battery which enlisted 25 men dur ing the campaign. Until the limit on National Guard strength is lifted, the Zeb ulon battery will have 51 officers and men. One other officer, Lt. William Shorr, had submitted ap plications for Federal recognition which have been approved by the local battery, but his status is not yet known. The telegram, sent by General J. Van B. Metts, Adjutant General for the North Carolina National Guard, read as follows: Budget Causes Limitations “Because of budgetary limita tion your organization will not be authorized to procure officers, W-O, and enlisted men to exceed your strength as of 20 Dec. 49. Re ductions may be required. If so you will be advised.” First Sergeant Sidney Holmes stated that he hoped no reductions would be necessary for Battery A. He said that specialized sectional training will begin in January and some sections are already short of men. Men from 17 to 35 years old who want to join the local Battery can give their names to Sgt-lc Clif ford Gilliam to be placed on a waiting list. As openings occur, opportunity will be given those on the list to join the Guard. “The order from the Adjutant General will not affect promo tions,” Lt. Philip Pearce, executive officer for the battery, stated. “As fast as a man qualifies himself through study and experience for a higher job, he will receive his promotion, no matter how few men we have.” The training during the next six months will be planned to pre pare the group as rapidly as pos sible for the 15-day training period late next summer. The first January drill will be held Thursday night, January 5, instead of next Monday night as regularly scheduled since Janu ary 2 is a legal holiday. All drills thereafter will be held on Monday night. Rotary Club Hears Story of Nativity Members of the Zebulon Rotary Club, meeting two days before Christmas Day, heard the wonder ful story of Christmas related by Carlton Mitchell and watched colored slides depicting the evnts related to the birth of Christ. Led by Luther Massey, the group sang several favorite Christmas carols and Early Moser read an enjoyable Christmas story opening the program. Graham Bunn was welcomed in to the club becoming the newest member. He was introduced by Ed Ellington.
