In Memori am
In the recent death of Carmen
Poole Flowers, wife of Dr. Charles
E. Flowers, Zebulon, sustained the
loss of an outstanding civic lead
er. Keenly interested in civic af
fairs, she was always active in
church, school and club work. She
gave freely of her great talent, her
keen mind, her time, her inspir
ing personlatiy, and her abundant
energy.
Mrs. Flowers served as presi
dent of the Zebulon Woman’s Club,
The Ida Fisher Woman’s Society
of Christian Service and the Wake
County Medical Auxiliary. She
served on many other committees
for the betterment of Zebulon and
the surrounding communities. She
was instrumental in organizing the
Wake County Cancer Society, and
as Chairman of the committee was
successful in exceeding the quota
of each yearly campaign in her
community.
Mrs. Flowers organized the first
Junior Woman’s Club in Zebulon
in 1934 and through the years has
been a resourceful inspiration. The
large and active Junior Woman’s
Club in Zebulon, stands as a monu
ment to her tireless efforts in its
behalf. She organized and served
as the first president of the local
garden club. Through this organi
zation, she promoted and success
fully engineered many projects
for the beautification of private
and public property. Her contri
bution to this year’s “Finer Caro
lina Program,” sponsored by the
Carolina Power and Light Co., was
the current project of planting six
thousands long leaf pines inter
spersed with our own state flower,
the Dogwood, on all the streets of
Zebulon. The pines, under her su
pervision have been planted. The
dogwoods were planted in the nur
sery of Rev. Theo. B. Davis and
will be transplanted at a later date
when the size indicates a sturdy
growth.
She also organized and person
ally nurtured a garden club for the
colored citizens of Zebulon.
Through her activities at home and
in the community, she proved the
reality of her favorite quotation,
“One is nearer God’s heart in a
garden, than anywhere else on
earth.”
Seldom has an individual con
tributed so much to the progress
of a community as did Mrs. Flow
ers.

j Uncle Ferd's Almanac
Two old women were thrown
into water as a witch test in Eng
land 192 years ago today. I am
not sure just how valid this test
was, but if the suspect sank, she
was supposed to be a a witch. The
two old ladies each*had on many
a petticoat, which resulted in their
floating triumphantly on the test
ing pool, and thus their innocence
was established. I predict that if
people start getting tried for
witchcraft again, long skirts will
again become popular.
Eight years ago today the
Wakelon School Board announced
the election of R. F. Lowery to suc

same day there was a bond auc

Purina and Pigs
Mean More Money
J ? r ' ' J§.
Completely surrounded by a few of his Purina-fed pigs
and sows is Charlie Boy Pace of Route 4, Zebulon, who says
his experience has proved Purina chows mean healthier, faster
growing, money-making pigs. One of Mr. Pace’s sows recently
gave birth to a litter of 15 pigs and every one of them lived.
“I’ve got a regular pig factory,” Mr. Pace says, “and Purina
helps the sows keep up their own bodies and nourish the embryo
litters.”

General Lee applied for a par
don from the president* 87 years
ago today, although the Civil War
was only a thing of the past by
some two months. Alexander Ste

served as vice president of the
Confederacy after his home state
of Georgia seceded, applied for a
pardon the same day. Stephens
was immediately elected to the U.
S. Senate, but was not allowed to
take his seat there. He served as
