Scarborough, in a lecture before the Carmen Flow ers Garden Club Monday night, said that in modern times flower arrangement has become one of the arts. “It varies in different countries and localities but is universally popular,” she said. “It is taught in some public schools, studied by men and women in all walks of life. Big business concerns have their own teachers who instruct their employees. Flower arrange ment is more than a book of rules —it is a philosophy of life.” Mrs. Scarborough said there are four principles in arranging which will be heard over and over again. These are design, scale, balance and harmony. Design is the overall form or shape and has dimensions of height, breadth and depth. Width and height are usually most im portant, but depth must .not be ignored since against a wall the arrangement will be seen at an an gle from either side. Color, she said, is only an ele ment of design but is the most com pelling element. It can also be the most dangerous. Dangerous be cause it can usurp the main role. “While color has great emotion al appeal, gives beauty and vitality to the composition,” the speaker (Continued on Page 9) Fire Strikes Farm Home; Damage Great A fire at 3:30 last Thursday morning burned to the ground a frame structure belonging to George Locklear seven miles north of Zebulon on Route 3. According to James Richardson, volunteer fireman, nothing was saved but a bedstead.

Shaw University Teacher Speaks At Shepard College Day was held at James E. Shepard School Thursday, No vember 7. All counselors, seniors class advisors, and seniors in the county high schools attended. Dr. Marguerite Adams, univer sity counselor and instructor of social science at Shaw University was the guest speaker. She pointed out the areas in which great opportunities are open for the graduates; namely, science, engineering, as well as many other fields. One of the most important things she mentioned was how a student’s education could be fi nanced. In this connection, she pointed out that many colleges and philanthropic organizations offer aid in the way of scholarships and fellowships. Then, students may borrow from a special fund set aside by the state and pay it back on the installment plan after graduating. Here is a brief summary of her speech. There are many oppor tunities waiting for the young graduates both in this state and in (Continued on Page 9) Senior Play The Senior Class of Wake Ion High School will present “Teen Time,” a three-act com edy, on Friday, Nov. 22, at 8 o’clock in the high school au ditorium. WWI Veterans To Hold Rally To Push Pension Raymond J. Jeffreys, author of the fighting book, “Must They Sell Apples Again,” will be here to ex plain what is being done in Con gress about the pension for World War I Veterans, and what the vet erans can do to help themselves. Jeffreys will speak at a mass meeting of all World War I vet erans, their wives and widows at the Zebulon Municipal Building on Friday night, Nov. 15, at 7:30. This mass meeting is planned to discuss plans for pushing the World War I Pension Bill of $100 per month before the Congress. Every veteran in Zebulon and the surrounding territories is urged to* be present. "Every group of national-de fenders in our history has been given the traditional pension and guaranteed security in their old age, except the veterans of World War I, who have become a “for gotten generation of veterans,” says Mr. Jeffreys. “Two batches of new veterans have come be tween them and the public.” The average age of the World War I veteran is now 63, and many are in desperate need. They are dy ing at the rate of about 90,000 per year. The sands of time are run ning out fast for them. It will soon be too late. Jeffreys says, “The public is under false impression that the World War I boys are included and taken care of in the lavish G. I. Bill, which has so luxuriously provided for the World War II and Korean veterans. The sad fact is that they are NOT. But they secur ed the Bill for their younger comrades, who are now unwilling to help their old dads get the (Continued on Page 9) Emit Section Organizes Community Development At a meeting held Wednesday night at Friendship Church, the people of the Emit community or ganized themselves into a group to work for the development and im provement of the Emit community.
