BOMBS AWAY! ** * r Uncle Ferd's Almanac Lately I have been reading a lot of criticism of the weather forecasts in various almanacs. That criticism may be valid as far as other almanacs are con cerned, but I submit that Uncle Ferd’s Almanac on January 22, a spring-like day, predicted snow not later than January 29. Did it snow January 29? Don’t ask! Thanks to Mrs. J. L. Stell and others who called Tuesday morning to confirm the prediction’s accuracy. Today ushers in a new month which took its name from fe brua, the Latin word for expia tion. When Numa introduced February to the calendar, he de cided that is should be a month of purification for the citizens of Rome. Thus the old Romans made their New Year’s resolu tions on February 1 instead of January 1. Thi| means that they broke their solemn resolutions on February 2 instead of Janu ary 2 as do Americans. Eleven years ago today your Uncle Ferd stole away with Sel ma Ann Harris, one of the two first freshman coeds at Wake Forest College, and made her his lawfully wedded wife. R. H. Brantley, Jr., married the other freshman coed, Lib Jones, thus completing the sweep for Zebu lon. Encouraged by this imme Recorder's Court Held Ten cases were continued and the defendants failed to appear in five others Wednesday morning at the Zebulon Recorder’s Court, re sulting in a short session for Judge Irby Gill’s court. Jessie Jordan, found guilty of speeding, was fined S6O and costs. Edward Cone, guilty of public drunkenness in Zebulon, was fined $lO and costs. Chester Roland Hayes of Dur ham, charged with passing on a hill, was found guilty and fine $25 and costs. Zebulon, N. C., Friday, February 1, 1952 diate success of their coeduca tional experiment, Wake For est expanded its facilities, and today several hundred coeds matriculate each year at the Baptist college. Birthdays today include those of Carolyn Hinton, Frank Wall, and Edward Coke. The last named was born 400 years ago today and became the leading English justice, being more re sponsible for the present Eng lish and American law system than any other man, except possibly Irby Gill. Birthstone for this month is the amethyst, which is a pur ple sort of quartz. Our ancestors in England and Wales thought the amethyst possessed magical powers, and used it to ren der themselves irresistible to women, to enhance the quality of their sleep, and to protect themselves against thieves when they got drunk. Moses thought enough of the amethyst to put a few fine samples in the garments of Aaron, the high priest, and St. John declares in Revelations that the golden city is built on an amethyst founda tion. Chemically the amethyst is silicon dioxide, the same as sand, but it is rather more ex pensive, being sold by the carat instead of the ton. James Gillespie of Zebulon was found guilty of assaulting his wife, Jo Etta, with a pocket knife caus ing serious and painful injury. He was sentenced to six months on the roads. William Duck, guilty of disor derly conduct, was sentenced to three months, suspended upon pay ment of S4O fine and costs. Lemon Haley was found guilty of passing a worthless check and was fined $lO and costs. William Joyner of Farmville was fined S4O and costs for failure to stop at a stop sign. Zebu/on March of Dimes Extended Until Monday ; Fair Response Is Noted The March of Dimes campaign for the Zebulon community will be extended until Monday morning, Barrie Dav is, local chairman, said yesterday. Contributions have been small and slow this year, he said, because the people in this neigh borhood have not realized the tre mendous need of additional funds to fight infantile paralysis. Through yesterday afternoon the total of all contributions was not available. Merchants in Zebulon had given nearly S2OO, and the Wakefield Baptist Sunday School mailed a check for $lO. Both the 1950 and 1951 cam paigns raised over SBOO for the March of Dimes. Last year’s solici tation was under the direction of Ed Hales. Farm Bureau Wives To Meet with Local Unit Monday Night A joint meeting of Zebulon Farm Bureau members and their wives will be held Monday night, February 4, with County Agent Grady Miller and Meryl Swice good, Assistant County Home Dem onstration Agent, in charge of a program stressing objective plan ning- for better family life. The meeting will begin at 7:30. The business session of the meet ing will be devoted to a report on the program planned for the State Farm Bureau Convention in Ral eigh. The visiting speakers will use film slides to illustrate their talk. President M. L. Hagwood of the local farm group urged members to bring their wives for this pro gram. Delegates to the State Conven tion were elected at the last meet ing and include M. L. Hagwood, Garland Richardson, and Robert Ed Horton. Alternates are H. H. Eddins, Raymond Averette, and Herbert Perry. The State Convention will be held February 10, 11, 12. SPEAKER A. C. Edwards, of Hookerton, past president of the North Caroli-; na Farm Bureau and member of the General Assembly, will be one of the keynote speakers at the 16th Annual Farm Bureau Convention, which will be held in Raleigh, February 10-13. Mr. Edwards will deliver his address during the evening session of the Convention on February 11. He will also conduct a special ses sion on Program Planning for the 1952 Farm Bureau state-wide ac tiities during the morning session. Theo. Davis Sons, Publishers. Only a few of the businesses have equaled their last year’s con tributions. Wakelon Food Market gave $15.00 this year, Hales Farm Supply Company gave $15.00, and Theo. Davis Sons gaVe $25.00 Dr. L. M. Massey expressed his concern over the progress of the campaign. He cited local cases where March of Dimes help has been tremendous. He joined other leaders in urging full support of the March of Dimes and gave his check for $25.00 to assist in the work. The contributions received by students at Wakelon School had not been counted yesterday after noon, nor had the receipts of the “Iron Lung” receptacles which have been placed in several public places. Members of the Zebulon Girl Scout troop are soliciting funds from house wives. A report had not been received from them. The final report is expected to be more than SSOO, but the pres ent pace makes last year’s total I seem unattainable, Davis said. Those who have not been con tacted in the community are urged I to give their contributions to Chairman Davis, a member of the Girl Scout troop, or a student of ; Wakelon School. The complete list of all who gave more than SI.OO to the March of Dimes will be printed in Tues day’s Zebulon Record. Recruiting Continued By Local Guard Unit Battery A, Zebulon’s National .Guard unit, achieved 100% at tendance Monday night for the first time since the unit was organized, according to First Sergeant Sidney Holmes, who has been working to improve the drill attendance of the battery. All of the 52 enlisted men were present. In attendance competition with other batteries of the 113th Field Artillery Battalion in December, Battery A placed second, only one point behind Headquarters Bat tery of Louisburg. Previously, the attendance aver age sank to 75 % in November, lowest in the battalion. Battery A will have a barbecue at E. P. Privette’s in February. The date will be selected at the next drill. Grover Lee Denton of near Mid dlesex enlisted with Battery A Monday night. Pvt. Denton re ported with his brother in the ar my, he wanted to serve his coun try too. In the National Guard, he said, he can help his country while staying at home farming with his father and supporting his wife and children. Five visitors from the Wendell High School visited the armory for the drill Monday night. They at tended classes on Domestic Distur bances taught by Lt. George Hinds, and howitzer duties taught by Capt. Barrie Davis. A moving picture on the Nation al Guard and a display of weapons used by the local battery will be shown at Corinth-Holder High School on Thursday, February 21, to boys 16 years and older.
