This simple but forceful picture, symbolic of Red Cross service, is
the work of Stevan Dohanos, noted magazine artist.
Andrews Sisters Really
Thrilled Zebulon Swains
You just can’t tell about some
things. For instance, when Coach
Herb Appenzeller wandered into
the printing office the other week
and requested Hilliard Greene,
Loomis Parrish, and myself to im
personate the talented Andrews
Sisters for a variety show, we
never knew the thrill the act
would provide for the mass of vir
ile manhood that would view tne
spectacle. The three of us gra
ciously agreed to attempt the per
formance, and so Herb stopped
twisting our arms behind our backs
and released the stranglehold he
had on our necks.
George Riggsbee Massey, Junior,
supplied us with a record of the
Andrews Sisters warbling “The
Beer Barrel Polka.” We listened
attentively just a few (172) times
as it played from beginning to end,
and then had my wife Judy type
out the words for us to memorize.
Assigning parts was no trouble.
Coach Appenzeller had done that
for us. “Hilliard is skinny and
tall,” he said, “and Barrie is bow
legged, and Loomis well, folks
will die laughing at him, anyhow.”
Several times during the week
we adjourned up to my house for
a rehearsal. Over and over we
played the record, prancing out of
the living room into the sun room,
taking our bows, and opening and
closing our mouths in time to the
music. We thought we were do
ing pretty good, but Judy stayed
safely In the rear of the house
whers she was safe from flying
size twelve brogans.
Friday night rolled around with
unusual speed, and at 7:15 the
three of us were behind the stage
laying out our costumes which
consisted of stockings, garters,
dresses, a brassiere for Hilliard,
hats, lipstick, rouge, and other as
sorted bits of clothing not famil
iar to us.
With time for the opening cur
tain coming ever closer, we had
to hurrv. We alreadv had on our
brirht red basketball trunks. We
had balked at wearing pink step
ins for very obvious reasons: but
mn around the basketball
court all season in those red
shorts, we figured we wouldn’t
mind them too much.
Hilliard muttered bitter words
when he pulled two long runs in
his hose. “I can’t make runs like
that in softball,” he grumbled.
“How come it has to happen now?”
I was in the midst of adjusting
a bow on my garters when Velva
Pearce came rushing through the
door from the auditorium.
“Eeeeek,” I shrieked, and Velva
took one glancing look and scam
pered, with a blushing red face,
back to the auditorium. She
needn’t have run. After all, what
is a couple of garters among wo
men.
Judy helped me properly adjust
my sex appeal at the most appeal
ing angle, and Hilliard said he
hoped his wouldn’t shift out of
place when we did our dance.
Loomis blew a couple of more
breaths of air into his balloons
and tucked them into place. “Don’t
let any pins get near me,” he
said, “or it would be catastrophic.”

LOCAL PEOPLE ATTEND STATE
We may not have winning ball
clubs too often in Zebulon, but
when we do, they receive our
backing. Or so they say in South
ern Pines, where Wakelon fans
outnmbered all others at the state
girls’ basketball tournament.
We regret our inability to quote
exact figures on the attendance
from Zebulon, but we’ll take as
fact Royal Bunn’s statement that

Beautiful Modern
Whitley Funeral
Chapel Completed
The Whitley Furniture Company
has recently moved its funeral
chapel into the remodeled and
beautifully decorated building
next door, which was formerly oc
cupied by Whitley & Scarboro.
The new addition is complete in
every detail, having a lovely
chapel, which has a seating capac
ity of approximately one hundred.
The walls are papered in a soft
restful design with grey wood
work. The floor is covered wall
to wall with grey carpeting,
blending in with the walls. The
furnishings in the room provide an
atmosphere of dignity and seren
ity.
The slumber room and office
is done in a soft shade of rose with
matching wall to wall carpeting.
The casket show room is attract
ively decorated in a pastel rose and
grey wall paper and grey wall to
wall carpeting.
The preparation room is at the
rear of the building having a sep
arate entrance to assure privacy
in loading and unloading. It is
fully equipped for modern prepa
ration with fluorescent lighting
and all other incidentals.
The entire staff at Whitley’s
are understandably proud of
their new quarters and have re
ceived many compliments both
from townsfolk and out-of-town
visitors. They consider their new
| chapel the latest step in a constant
program of keeping pace with
modern needs in funeral service.

games they wouldn’t have made
enough to pay the light bill.”
Other folks were surprised at
how many people wei ■» present to
cheer on Wakelnn’s wee lassies,

had always thought Zebulon was
just a crossroads, but he guessed
it must be a city to have so many

Wakelon Girls Out
Os State Tourney
i Wakelon —l6 9 14 10 —49
Lincolnton -17 19 12 11 —59
j Coach Fred Smith’s Wakelon
girls were eliminated in the quar
ter-finals of the N. C. State Girls’
Basketball Tournament in South
ern Pines last night by fourth
seeded Lincolnton, 59-49. The
Wakelon'sextet fought gamely up
to the final horn, but Lincolnton’s
height advantage proved too much
for the scrappy losers.
Ruth Biown tallied 35 points to
carry the burden in the Wakelon
attack. She was ably supported
by Gwen Smith and Joellen Gill,
who scored seven points each.
Wakelon fell behind in the sec
ond period when the forwards lost
their scoring knack. The only field
goals were one each made by
Smith and Brown. Lincolnton took
ian 11-point lead which Wakelon
' could not overcome.
The Wakelon guards played very
well, with Velva Pearce, Shirley
Chamblee, Kat Baker, and Ruth
and Rose Pace all doing good.

ulon depends for its existence at
least in part on Nash, Franklin,
and Johnston Counties, and ap
parently we have their good
wishes. M. L. Hagwood carried
I a load of Wakelon students to
[Southern Pines after the schedul

home.

Farm Bureau Has
Program on Feeds
On Monday Night
By Rodney McNabb
The Farm Bureau meeting Mon
day night was somewhat different
from most such meetings. We first
had a short session of string band
music by Elbert Pearce’s band,
then Edd Ellington’s quartet sang
for us; and following this we had
refreshments and our wives en
joyed all this with us.
Following this entertainment
phase of our program, our wives
retired with Miss Palmer to the
Home Economics Department for
a sewing demonstration; while the
men heard to every able speak
ers on current farm problems.
Carl Bunn, PMA specialist,
spoke to us on crop quotas and al
lotments with special attention
given to tobacco and cotton. His
discussion took up the matter of
pre-measuring tobacco and cotton
land. This may be done at the
growers expense through proper
application. He also cited some
examples of crop allotment viola
tions their penalties were pret
ty severe. At the close of the pro
gram. Mr. Bunn distributed some
J 1950 Handbooks of Conservation
Practices. It is hoped that more
farmers will avail themselves of
1 the benefits to be had from these
practices.
Assistant Agent Speaks
Bruce Butler, assistant county
agent, gave a very interesting and
informative discussion on hogs.
His talk emphasized hog produc
tion and how it can be done profit
ably. His greatest stress was on
early handling and correct feed
ing. He assured us that the fol
lowing rations would mean greater
profits:
A balanced ration for breeding
animals: 50 pounds of ground corn,
25 pounds of ground or rolled oats,
15 pounds of soybean oil meal or
cotton seed meal, 8 pounds of fish
meal or tankage, 2 pounds of min
eral mixture.
A balanced ration for pigs from
weaning (about 56 days) until 100
pounds in weight: 45 pounds of
ground corn, 19 pounds of ground
wheat, 19 pounds of ground oats,
10 pounds of soybean meal, 10
pounds of tankage of fish meal,
2 pounds of mineral mixture.
A balanced ration for hegs 100
pounds to market weight of 215
to 225 pounds: 83 pounds of com,
6 pounds of soybean oil meal, 7
pounds of cotton seed meal, 2
pounds of mineral mixture.
Each of the above rations should
be supplemented with good suc
culent pasture and plenty of clean
water. Ladino clover has proven
to be one of the best grazing pas
tures for hogs.
Three Vacancies Now
Exist in Guard Unit
Vacancies for three men exist in
Battery A of the 113 Field Artill
ery Battalion, Capt. Barrie Davis
announced this week. The vacan
cies occurred when discharges
were given to enlisted men in the
unit who were unable to attend
drill because of incompatible oc
cupations. A special effort will
be made to bring the battery to
full strength this month, the com
manding officer added.
The administrative assistant,
SFC. Clifford Gilliam, will be on
duty at the armory on Vance Street
Monday through Friday from ft
a. m. until 5 p. m., and he has ap
olication forms for men interested
in the National Guard.
