THE ZEBULON RECORD Volume XXVII. Number 98 This, That & the Other By MRS. THEO. B. DAVIS After Sunday School at the Baptist Church last Sunday mo thers were busily hunting up their smaller youngsters to keep them from rushing outdoors and getting wet. A hard shower had fallen and deep puddles had formed in front of the steps from the base ment. Little Drew Cannady, in his mother’s arms, instead of be ing allowed to go afoot, pleaded earnestly: “Walk through that water, Mama. Ple-e-ease walk through it.” And was disappointed when she carefully by-passed the fascinating spot. • It was a joy to see Waylon Rich ardson and his family Monday. Waylon was with Mr. Grote when my husband bought the Record and shop equipment from him, and changed employers without chang ing place of employment. He was my first teacher in anything per taining to printing; and the more I learn of it, the more I understand what Waylon went through in those months following our en trance into the publishing busi ness, and the more I sympathize with him. He was for a good while, the only person in the shop who knew what had to be done or how to do it. Looking back, I don’t see how Theo ever had the nerve to take over such a task. I do remember that grim determina tion made us stick to it. And there is satisfaction in being able to say that the little business we sat up nights with has expanded into “the best equipped small town printing plant in the nation” (ac cording to the ads). • Few things in life are more ex asperating than a window sash that refuses to go up .or down. As following Sunday’s storm, which seemed to come from every direc tion, thoroughly soaking all wood exposed to it, and causing window sills as well as sashes to swell and stick tight. A window looks pleasant and in offensive; but try to deal with one that is reluctant and opinion changes. There’s no way to use force; no hand-hold to be secur ed; no advantage to be gained by pushing too hard on the connect ing framework between panes. If desperation impels one to get a crowbar and pry up a sash, the resultant damage to paint and sill teaches its own lesson. The best thing to do is to find a fan and wait till you hear a wind making those same windows rattle in their frames. And by then the weather will be so cool you’ll not care to raise them. Local Organizations Busy Women's Clubs Plan Sessions The first meeting of the new year will be held Monday night for the Zebulon Garden Club. Scheduled to begin at 8 o’clock in the Woman’s Club, the program features Ed Ellington, Vocation al Agriculture teacher at Wake lon School, who will speak on “Lawns.” Hostesses for the meeting are Mesdames E. C. Daniel and John Barrow, according to Mrs. Carsey Tippett, president of the Garden Club. The President urged all mem bers and anyone else interested in joining the club to be present for this meeting. If anyone can give an expla nation of what I am going to re late, please send it in to the Rec ord office. Last Saturday I found an English sparrow in the chick en’s feed-trough. It did not fly, and on noticing it closely, I saw a worm about an inch long hanging from one side of its mouth. Grandson Teddy, aged twelve, went to the rescue of his “feath ered friend,” picked it up and tried to remove the worm, which was striped yellowish and black. It held on and Teddy removed it with a pair of tweezers, but the head did not come away with the body, staying in the sparrow. Teddy put the bird in a cage and did his best for it, but it died on Monday. What we want to know is: Did the worm kill it? Did the sparrow decide it wanted a worm just as the worm decided it wanted a bird? Or was the bird sick before being bitten? And what kind of worm would bite a bird, and hold on till its own head was pulled off? • An Eskimo Cook Book has been compiled by school children in Shishmaref, Alaska, under the di rection of their school teacher. It is a mimeographed booklet con taining thirty-six pages and gives recipes for cooking as Eskimos do the feed they eat. For ice cream you grate reindeer tallow and beat it with seal oil, adding a lit tle water as the beating continues, also adding more seal oil from time to time. It is said to become light and fluffy. A recipe for frozen flounder, brought in by a boy, is very sim ple. He says: “After the flounders are caught let them freeze.” Easily done, as April is still winter in Shishmaref. Soured seal liver is certainly a new dish to us. Directions are to place the liver in an enamel pot or dish and cover it with blubber. Put in a warm place for a few days until it sours. It is explained that few except grownups and old people like this. New Vice President Thomas Monk of the American Electrical and Plumbing Supply Company was elected vice presi dent of the Zebulon Chamber of Commerce at the meeting of the Board of Directors of the group held last week.
