THE ZEBULON RECORD Volume XXVII. Number 93. GLAMOUR ABOARD THE S. S.

Serving as both a huge towel and a generous terry wrap, the bath sheet is a continental idea now rapidly being adopted in the United States. They look particu larly well on these curvaceous young ladies! MRS. THEO. B. DAVIS This, That & the Other Enjoying the delightful breezes of last Friday night, I could not decide which is more pleasura ble: To have such an interval fol lowing scorching heat and once more to be deliciously cool; or to come from a freezing outdoors and gradually grow warm again by a stove or fireplace not by a reg ister. • Mrs. Allan Cawthorne has the most gorgeous display of zinnias, asters and dahlias I have seen this summer. They seem not to know we had a long, dry spell. My class at Sunday School especially appre ciated a big bowl of those flowers sent by Mrs. Cawthorne last Sun day. • A friend told me this week that in all her life she has.never seen a hummingbird’s nest; but that she still hopes to see one some day. I am glad to say that I have seen one, though only one. My fa ther showed it to me when I was a girl. He called me one day from down in the hog pasture. —not at all picturesque in sound, though part of it was really a pretty place, large honey locust trees shading a hillside and a swift flowing little stream at the foot of the slope. Papa was staring fix edly at a spot on the limb of one tree and did not turn his head as I approached. He had seen a hum mingbird go to its nest and was afraid he’d lose sight of it, if he took his eyes away for an instant. Directed exactly where to look, I, too, say the tiny nest, which was based on one of those clumps of thorns locust trees have; long thorns, each having one or more shorter ones at each side. The nest’s color matched the tree’s bark Mrs. Barbee Plans Classes in Piano Mrs. G. S. Barbee of Zebulon will again teach piano to students at Wakelon and Ferrell’s School, for the school year 1952-53. Her class es will begin as soon as the schools one*. perfectly and the tiny bird’s long bill looked like a thorn smaller than the rest. The whole thing appeared to be only a knot on the branch that held it. Other nests may be very different. That’s the one I saw. • In a speech paying tribute to the late Clyde Erwin, State Super intendent of Public Instruction, D. Hiden Ramsey, vice-chairman of the State Board of Education, is quoted as saying: “Some people grow in power with the responsi bilities of public office; others just swell in the pomp and cir cumstance of high office.” And be it known to all men there is a tremendous difference between growing and swelling. Growth means greater strength; swelling either goes down, leav ing weakness, or continues until death comes. • Having four sisters and four brothers younger than I, having reared five children and had more or less to do with twelve grand children, I thought I knew all the angles when it comes to little ones playing together or fighting each other. But grandson Michael, not quite fifteen months old, has showed me a new trick. He and his cousin Susan, who is eight months older, love each other dearly, with the usual disagree ments. At first Mike retaliated for an injury by pulling Susan’s curls, but has learned something he likes better, and which irri tates Susan fully as much. He is already the heavier of the two and has found out that he needn’t be pushed around. He gets a toy, a magazine anything he has an idea Susan might want and just stands quietly holding it while she tries desperately to take it from him. He neither smiles nor frowns, merely watches with somewhat the air of one watching the outcome of an experiment in chemistry. When Susan tears away all paper except what is in his clutch or angrily gives up trying to get the toy he holds, he finds (Continued oh Page 2) Zebulon, N. C., Friday, August 22, 1932 Good Record Is Made by County In Disease Control The Wake County Health De partment can point to the record in the control of communicable di seases over the past thirty years with a great deal of pride. We have seen the case rate and death rate from all communicable di seases show a continuous decline. Smallpox has been completely ab sent from Wake County since 1928. Diphtheria has declined from 257 cases in 1922 to 6 cases last year, and from 13 deaths in 1921 to 1 j in 1951. Whooping cough has also j continued to decline both in case | rate and death rate. Better living conditions, better isolation of patients, better medi cal care, and better nursing su pervision, and a willingness of the public to cooperate have con tributed to the decline of all the communicable diseases for which j there are no approved vaccines and sera with the exception of polio myelitis. During the past few years poliomyelitis cases have occurred m larger numbers than in former years. . The campaign we are putting on at the present time to further re duce the case rate and death rate will receive, 1 am sure, the care ful consideration it deserves by all j official and non-official agencies, the press, radio and all other means of informing the public. We are certain that the parents of children in this young age group will not only make an effort to control those diseases for which we have known approved vaccines and sera but will, as they have in the past, apply other control measures such as improved envi ronmental sanitation, better liv ing conditions, better medical and nursing care all of which play an important part in the reduc tion in both cases and* death rate of the acute communicable di seases. A. C. Bulla Ed Ellington Is Speaker at Meet The problems of increasing at tendance at the meetings of the Zebulon Rotary Club were discuss ed last Friday night by Ed Elling ton. Although the attendance of the local group is well above the average for the 178th District, it does not compare with several years ago when the club achieved perfect attendance for seven years. Ed named several methods which have been used in the past to promote attendance, including contests with other clubs and be tween members of the local club. During a discussion following the talk, it was emphasized that a program of work must be laid out to hold the interest of the members so they will not miss meetings. Two members of the Raleigh Rotary Club were visitors at the 1 meeting. Two Are Winners At Saturday Event Rodney Bell and Doris Rogers were awarded $27.00 each at the weekly observance of Silver Har vest Day, conducted Saturday af ternoon in front of the Wakelon Drug Company in Zebulon. Over 40 merchants cooperate to make the event possible. School Opening Postponed The opening date for the 1952-53 school year in Wake County has been postponed until Tuesday, September 9. because of the delay in har vesting the tobacco crop. School officials believe that the extra six days will pro vide the necessary time to house the tobacco. Local Youngsters Win Talent Show Two talented Zebulon young sters danced off with first place honors in the Smithfield talent contest held during the Annual Farmers’ Day held in the county seat of Johnston County. Mickey Hinton and Carolyn Pippin were awarded $20.00 first prize. Ken neth Hopkins was accompanist for the pair. Fourteen entries competed in the contest, including vocalists and dancers from Dunn, Fayetteville, Selma, Four Oaks, and Benson. Mickey sang, and then joined Carolyn in dancing the shag as the chorus was played, taking the hearts of the big audience. Other entertainers lauded sos their excellent performances were Terry Kemp of Zebulon, dancer; Carl Denton of Route 1, Zebulon, guitar player; and the Nell Ren frow Gospel Singing Trio of Mid dlesex. Sidewalk Paving Still Going Strong The sidewalk paving on the south side of Gannon Avenue on the block from Wakefield Street to Church Street was completed this week, and work was begun on the sidewalks on the north side of the block. Since the initial paving was started, ten blocks of sidewalks have been paved on Arendell Avenue, and Church Street. This paving was one of the pro jects urged by the Steering Com mittee for a Finer Zebulon and was included in the Finer Caroli na contest, sponsored by Carolina Power & Light Company. Leonard Seawell Joins National Guard; New Trucks Expected Soon Leonard Seawell, son of Mr. and Mrs. Carver Seawell of Zebulon, enlisted in the Zebulon National Guard unit at the regular drill held Monday night at the armory on Vance Street. A veteran of two years service with the Pennsyl vania National Guard, he was as signed to the firing section after being issued his uniform and per sonal equipment. Private Seawell’s enlistment brought the strength of the local artillery battery to sixty officers and men, according to Unit Ad ministrator Kenneth Hopkins. Following the drill period, Cpl. Jimmy Spivey showed color pic tures of the howitzers being fired through the unit projector. The Theo. Davis Sons, Publishers. Drive-In Theatre To Open Next Thursday Evening E. A.
