Unde Ferd's Almanac George Washington was born 220 years ago today at Wakefield, the Washingtons’ Virginia estate. I thought once that the second larg est town in Little River Township might have been named for Wash ington’s birthplace, but D. D. Chamblee, our authority on Wake field, says otherwise. James Russell Lowell and Mrs. Barrie Davis were also born on February 22. J. Russell was born in 1819 and wrote poetry; Judy was born much later and to the best of my knowledge has not succumb ed to any temptation to see her verse in print. Mount Etna exploded with en thusiasm 319 years ago today, and E. C. Daniel came pretty close to doing the same thing 14 years ago today. He had an auditor check ing his books, a federal drug in spector making a spotcheck, and a state pharmacist making a rou tine inspection, all on the same Session Held at Community Center By Hephzibah Missionary Society The Hephzibah W. M. S. met at the community center in Febru ary with Mesdames Everette Led ford, H. O. Hinnant, Joe t Buchan an, D. L. Horton, and Joe Hilliard acting as hostesses. The president called the meeting to order. The W. M. U. hymn was sung and the watchword for the year was repeated. The hostesses and visitors were recognized, busi ness was transacted. The mission study chairman, Mrs. Harrell Pelly and Mrs. Hil liard of Durham would teach the study course the last Friday night in March at 7 o’clock. The sick was day. All three were demanding his attention at the same time, and then Mrs. Daniel called him to din ner. What did he do? Don’t be silly; he went! Lots of pople think Thanksgiv ing Day was always in November and was always a feast day, but I know better and so will you, do you read further. It used to be on this very day, and it was not until February 22, 1630, that it was changed from a fast day to a feast day. How unfortunate for our tur keys! Five years ago today Lillian Tal ton was home from ECTC at Greenville, and was subjected to some extensive questioning by Aunt Selma. (You know how every married woman is determin ed to double for Cupid.) Lillian al lowed that she had met a young ‘fellow down east named Frank Coiner, and he seemed to be pret ty nice. Apparently she still thinks so! reported. The date for the week of prayer was set for Wednesday night, March sth. The meeting was turned over to Mrs. Ledford, program chairman, who presented Mrs. L. C. Murphy of Wendell who gave an interesting and inspiring talk on the ministry of prayer. She told of several testimonials as to how prayer had been answered, and the talk was closed with seven encouragements on how the program with prayer. During the social hour the hos tesses served ice cream in the Val entine motif, chiffon cake, roast ed pecans and coffee. Zebulon, N. C., Friday February 22, 1952 Dr. Ben Thomas Makes Address For Rotary Club The specialist in medicine who limits his practice to one small part of the body is on the wane, and the general practician is in creasing in number, Dr. Ben D. Thomas reported to the Zebulon Rotarians Friday night. The old time “country doctor’’ who treats all ailments for everyone is re turning to the American scene, and schools like the Bowman Gray School of Medicine in Winston- Salem are encouraging the student to become a general practician through special training. The speaker emphasized the need of doctors and clinics in small communities so that medical at tention could be given when and where needed. Medical Clinic Dr. L. M. Massey urged that the local community establish a medi cal clinic. He reported that the plans for a county-sponsored hos pital between Wendell and Zebu lon have been abandoned, but the need of a local clinic is greater than ever. Other communities have built clinics for themselves, Dr. Massey said, and those in this community can build a clinic without waiting for the county, state, or federal overnments to do the job. trdent Program The Rotarians voted to cooperate again this year in the 178th District Student Exchange Program by con tributing $2 a member to the fund which finances the program. Three foreign students are now study ing at Meredith College, the Uni versity of North Carolina, and At lantic Christian College, with their expenses paid through the pro gram. Philip Whitley, Wendell Rotar ian who is a member of the House of Representatives, was a visitor.
