Close Analysis of Returns Still Shows Old Davis Lost Things have quieted down for me on the political front since May 27, but over at the National Guard there is ever-increasing ac tivity as we prepare for camp in July. The only hold-over from the First Primary has been lots of well-wishes from my friends and lots of advice from other sources. One veteran politician asked me if 1 had looked over the returns from each individual precinct. “I looked at the totals,” I told him. “Well, study the precincts,” he said, pointing his finger at the returns in the N&O. “Evaluate them. Appraise them. Assess them. Scrutinize every angle.” I pondered, meditated, reflected, and speculated. “Now what do you see?” ques tioned the politician. “The same thing as always,” I replied. “I didn’t get enough votes to be elected!” Oh. Those Orders! One gay young swain about town told one of the members of the National Guard unit that he would join the battery except for the fact that he was getting mar ried this fall. “You’d better get in the Guard,” said the Guardsman, “because it’s such good training for marriage.” “What d’yuh mean?” queried the swain. “You learn how to take orders!” was the reply. Uncle Allen s Daughter My uncle (by marriage) Allen Cawthorne has a pretty daughter UNION CHAPEL HOMECOMING The annual Homecoming Day services at Union Chapel will be held next Sunday, June 11, when Dr. Henry E. Walden, Jr., will de liver the morning message and six choirs will present a special song service at 2:00 in the afternoon. Pastor Vivian W. Evans announced that the public is invited to the Homecoming, adding that a basket lunch will be served in the ground at 1:00. Sunday School will be held at 10:00. Charles Creech will read the scripture, and Rev. Theo. B. Davis will teach the lesson. Taking part in the worship ser vice at 11:00 will be Mrs. Vessie who is in the third grade at Wake lon. The other day she came home and asked her mother if Barrie Davis was a communist. “No,” her mother said emphatically, “Why do you ask?” “Well,” said lovely lit tle Loretta, “I read on a card where it said ‘Barrie Davis for Communist’!” Watch Your Language Over at the armory the other night one of the Guardsmen was telling about the farmer who stumbled over a stump in the field one afternoon. “I wish that stump was in h !” the farmer exclaim ed. “Oh, I wouldn’t do that,” re plied our friend, the Guardsman. “You might stumble over it again sometime.” Left for the Woods The last two drills this month for the National Guard battery will be concerned with combined sections training which means that the whole battery will leave the armory and set up as if in actual field training. The last time we tried that one gentleman saw the howitzer being set in position up near the fair grounds, heard the executive officer give the com mands for deflection and eleva tion, and then decided to head for far and distant places before that big gun blew the whole dog goned town off the map. Needless to say, the “fire” command re sulted only in a click as the fir ing pin went forward, but the scared spectator was no longer around to hear it. —Barrie S. Davis Ferrell and Mrs. Charles Creech, who will sing a duet; Geraldine Hood, Shirley Richards, Mrs. Cor die Ferrell, Retha Carter, and Voncile Belvin, who will give reci tations; Carl Pearce will sing a solo; and Dr. Walden who will de liver the address. During the afternoon the follow ing groups will take part in the song service: Hopkins’ Chapel Melody Masters, Royal Quartet, Union Four, Sullivan Sisters' Trio, Liles Duet, and Ann Hockiday, so loist. Pianists for the afternoon ser vices will be Mrs. Hockiday, Mrs. Liles, and Miss Hilda Morris. Zebulon, N.
