Four When I read in the Record that the Rev. S. E. Mercer has return ed to his pulpit at the Zebulon Methodist Church, I gave a big sigh of relief. Although I do not know Mr. Mercer very well either personally or as a minister, I ad mire and respect him for the cour ageous example of Christian living he presents to all who meet him. The fact that my high regard for Mr. Mercer is shared by the community as a whole was brought to my attention by the praise heap ed upon him by a member of the Baptist Church in the presence of another minister. Os course char acteristics which make Mr. Mer cer the very fine person he is transcend denominational differ ences. Bumble bees and writing spiders would make attractive costume jewelry if they could be properly preserved, wouldn’t they? • Last weekend Jack and I head ed for the coast of North Carolina with everything for eating and sleeping out of doors loaded in the back of our station wagon. Al though we remembered every thing (including can opener and matches), we forgot to take in con sideration high winds caused by hurricane Dolly and mosquitoes. After one bout with monsters of the Outer Banks, Jack and I be gan looking for a motor court. Not being able to build a camp fire gave us a good excuse to visit our favorite restaurant in Morehead City, Tony’s Sanitary Fish Market. a4 $69.95 GENUINE Duo-Therm Radiant Circulator FUEL OIL HEATER • Exclusive Duo-Therm Dual Chamber Burner—gets more heat from e<very drop of oil. • Special Waste Stopper —built into every Duo-Therm.

A REAL BUY AT PARRISH ELECTRIC COMPANY Dial 4451 Zebulon Potter Patter By Eloise Potter Since our trip was a leisurely one, Jack and I took time to visit Fort Macon. We were pleasantly surprised by the extent of the re construction program there. Near ly everything of interest is care fully labeled even some of the trees are identified. The nicest thing about the fort as a tourist attraction is the lack of commer cialization. There are no post cards or other souvenirs for sale; are no uniformed attendants; and there are few signs of public abuse. Nat urally every historical site will be visited by a few creeps whose names are like their faces. One massive wooden door at the fort is nearly covered by initials, names, dates and absolutely point less scratches. However I am glad to say that I saw no evidence of recent vandalism. • Our trip back to Zebulon took us through Kinston where we stopped to see Ted and Ethel Da vis and their children. During our conversation Ethel told me about a pound cake recipe she had tried the night before. Have at room temperature 2 sticks (Vfe lb.) oleo and 5 eggs. Siff and measure 2 cups of flour and 1% cups sugar. Cream (at high speed in mixer) oleo and sugar. , Add 2 heaping tablespoons of flour alternating with 1 egg until all eggs and flour are used. Blend thoroughly after each addition us ing a low mixer speed. Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla flav oring. Bake in well greased or 9 inch tube pan at 325 degrees for 55 minutes to one hour. When done the cake will pull away from the sides of the pan and shrink. Loosen around the edges with a knife if necessary. Remove from pan and cool on rack. Although pound cake is good hot out of the oven, I believe it should be baked about 24 hours before you serve it to company. The tex ture seems to improve with cool ing and slight aging. The recipe I have given you does not pretend to be any better than the traditional “pound of flour, pound of sugar, etc.” It does give someone who has never tried Dound cake before an opportunity to experiment without having too much invested in case of failure. However, with only five ingredi ents, detailed instructions and a little luck anyone should be able to turn out a good cake on the first try. (At least my first one was good maybe not in the same class with one of Ruby Buf faloe’s creations, but good enough to make Jack happy.)
