Four MRS. THEO. B. DAVIS This , That & the Other It does not seem that pillowcases i ought to be among the hard-to-do pieces in laundering; but they are. It must be that perspiration, occa sionally cosmetics, and use for days at a time make them hard to keep white. When washing is done by hand extra rubbing is done on them; but a machine has an indif ferent impartiality and pillowcases may get hung out looking far fiom their best. It helps to soak them for a while before putting them in the machine, using laundry bleach and soap in the water. • There’s no telling how many work hours were given last week to listening to the proceedings of the Democratic Convention in Chi cago. Whether any adequate return was received depends upon the listener’s point of view as well as upon the one who chanced to be speaking. Parts of it were fine, to me; parts were worse than wasted. Now and then something was fun ny. We do not have television, just a radio. • I happened to hear the brother who rose to offer a motion for a vote of thanks to the man who had, the night before, “by quick intelligence, calmness,” and a few other fine qualities kept off a pan ic when fire broke out in the con vention hall. He said this man’s action averted “what might have been a-a-a.” And as I sat mental ly straining to hear him say horri ble tragedy, major catastrophe or holocaust, he rallied and orated “pathetic situation.” I had never hoped to hear such understatement at a political gathering, and want ed at once to nominate the speak er to something. At first I was too ignorant of tricks of politicians to understand why so many delegates would question the poll of their states and demand a recount. They would either “chal’jenge the accuracy” MISS KATIE DUKE HOCUTT Corinth News Items Mr. and Mrs. Doyt Hinton and family had as their guests, Mr. and Mrs. Roy Hinton of Live Oak com munity.

The Zebulon Record Published Tuesday and Friday of each week at Zebulon, Wake County, North Carolina. Entered as second class matter June 26, 1925, at the post office at Zebulon, North Carolina, under the act of March 8, 1879. or “question the veracity” of the count us announced by the reading clerk. Then it would have to be made, one vote at a time, taking ever so much longer. Gradually it dawned upon me that the challengers and question ers wanted to be seen on televis ion casting votes, probably to im press the folk back home. Bless their little hearts, they couldn’t bear to miss a chance to be seen and heard. I stood it till a North Carolinian demanded a re-count, when 1 snapped off the radio and went clear out of the room. • And did you notice how men from all over the Nation persisted in making speeches in announcing votes? It did not matter how stern ly Chairman Rayburn insisted that they confine themselves strictly to the business in hand, like Elihu of old, they felt they would burst un less they spoke. And speak they did in fulsome praise of one can didate or another. Many’s the time I have writhed at our Woman’s Club as a member ignored or for get to pay proper attention to our presiding officer; but after this I shall be unceasingly proud that at least they do better than some of our National Committeemen. • Most enjoyable feature of listen ing to Convention doings was the announceent by Senate Reading Clerk Emory Frazier of each State’s voting. Without expression or in flection, with no emphasis on any special word, it was at once the most colorless and the most re freshing voice I heard. No matter how impassioned the reporter who proclaimed so many votes for an illustrious son, a noble statesman, a dedicated leader or whoever, the Frazier voice held its dead and deadly calm. One felt he would have repeated in those same tones votes for Fu Manchu, Alger Hiss, Li’l Abner or even Pogo. Mr. and Mrs. Williford Hocutt of Raleigh were Sunday guests of Mr. and Mrs. Edd Hocutt. Miss Faye Hocutt of Raleigh spent last weekend with her fa ther, Mrs. E. S. Hocutt. Mr. and Mrs. Doyt Hinton vis ited Mr. and Mrs. B. Ellington last Sunday afternoon.

How to Get a Smile By Uncle Sam You cannot buy a smile. You cannot borrow a smile. You cannot steal a smile. You cannot hoard a smile. You cannot beg a smile. You cannot make a smile. You cannot always smile. You may hope for a smile. You may look for a smile. You may lose a smile. You may long for a smile. You may work for a smile. You may give a smile. The only way to get a smile Is to just receive a smile. The Zebulon Record Seen and Heard There’s nothing like rain at the needed time to lift the spirits of everyone. The rains Tuesday and Wednesday nights of this week chased more blue moods than the most beautiful sunshine name ly because we’ve had more than our share of sunshine. I like tea hot or cold, sweet or straight; but the only way I can drink coffee is hot, black, and un sweetened. And I drink a mini mum of 12 cups a day. • Ed Hales is having some mighty pretty letterheads printed which feature a picture of his store. Not only the name but the view of Hales Farm Supply Company will stick with those who read Ed’s letters. A friend of ours told us this story: Three salesmen took a room at a hotel, paying SIO.OO each at the desk. Later, -/hen the clerk was checking, he found the three men had been overcharged, so he sent a refund of $5.00 up to the men by the bellhop. On the way up, the bellhop de cided the three men would never miss some of the money, so he pocketed $2.00 and gave each man SI.OO each. Now the room cost each of the three men $9.00 each, making a total room cost of 27.00. The bell hop had $2.00 in his pocket. Where is the other dollar? • The steel strike has struck us. Ford advertising for the months of August and September has been cancelled because the company cannot obtain the steel to make cars. And some of our machinery suppliers are giving extended va cations (without pay) because they cannot get the steel to work with. » Every good speaker (we’ve been told) begins his talk with a joke. The Republicans, bless them, are beginning their campaign the same way— by promising a drastic re duction in taxes. This joke, how ever, has been told and retold un til it has lost its humor. • We’ve broken so many records with this summer’s heat that rec ord-breaking is getting downright monotonous not to mention un comfortable. • It’s worth a dime to see the face of a kid getting a new comic book. • After making a casual check, I’ve found that every business has its headaches. It just depends on the type of headache preferred as to which business to choose. Army School Grad Pfc. Coy D. Poole, son of Mr. and Mrs. C. D.
