The 325 sticks of tobacco were burning furiously when the fire men arrived, and they were able to extinguish the fire with only $100 damage to the barn and $250 damage to the tobacco.

Commissioners' Wives Homemakers, Career Women The wives of Zebulon’s newest | commissioners are both career women. They are closely associ ated with their husbands in their respective businesses. And yet they are both some of the finest homemakers to be found. They are genuinely interested in their homes and love housekeeping for the most part. Bernice Magdalene Hepler is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Marley of Staley. She was bom December 2, 1919, and is the fifth child of eight children. Her fa ther is a retired farmeT and miller. • After graduation from Staley High School she attended Win throp College in Rock Hill, S. C., for two years. There she finished a commercial course. Her first job was with a dentist in Greensboro, approximately 12 miles from her home town. She was later bookkeeper for a drug firm and then Mock Judson Vo hinger Co. It was while she was with Mock-Judson that she met her husband. He insisted upon drop ping the young lady off at her boarding house after work. The acquaintance-ship blossomed into romance and then into marriage. They were married July 2, 1938. Mrs. Hepler loves flowers. Their handsome Georgian Colonial home on North Church Street reflects her green thumb qualities. Some time in the very near future she plans a rose garden. Roses are her favorite flower, and yellow ones are her favorite color. She is a good cook. Her hus band vouches she is the best steak and banana pudding cooker here abouts. Her artistry shows up in her home. She has keen and unusual qualities when it comes to decorat Mrs. Thurman Hepler ing. Period furnishings are her fav orite and her home shows it. Each room reflects her good taste'-and exquisite arranging. Since becoming a member of the Order of the Eastern Star in Wilmington in 1944, she has been very active in this organization. In Wilmington she was a member of the Golden Rod Chapter, No. 142. When she came to Zebulon 13 years ago, she helped form a chapter here, Wakefleld-Zebulon Chapter, No. 133, of which she is past Worthy Matron, 1954-55. She is a member of Zebulon Methodist Church, and taught the Intermediate Sunday School Class in her home church in Staley. She is also a member of the Lioness Club, having held the position of Lioness Tamer, Circle II of the Women’s Society of Christian Mrs. Pat Farmer Service, and is a past treasurer of the local PTA. This soft spoken, very unassum ing commissioner’s wife considers herself more of a follower than a leader. She enjoys belonging and helping actively in club work, but leaves the leadership to the other fellow. Mrs. Hepler is 5 feet four, weighs 140 pounds (97 when she was married), has blue eyes and chestnut brown hair. She is the mother of one child, a daughter, Connie LaRue, 10. • Alice Joan Farmer has a secret regret. It is that she did not study medicine. Mrs. Farmer, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. I. D. Medlin of Bai ley, was born December 23, 1918. She is the oldest of nine girls. There is an older brother. After graduating from Bailey High School in 1937, she was forc ed to stay out of school for a year because of the serious illness of her mother. It was while her mother was in the hospital that she became more familiar with the profession of nursing and she made up her mind she wanted to become a nurse. Previously she had been accepted at East Caro lina College and she had intentions of becoming a school teacher. She graduated from Rocky Mount Sanitarium School of Nursing in 1941, and subsequently held posi tions in hospitals in Rocky Mount, Raleigh, Wilson, Baltimore and Duke. After her graduation, she was night supervisor of her alma ma ter. While in Baltimore she was supervisor of obstetrics at the University of Maryland Hospital. She loved nursing, exclaiming it is a wonderful profession. She did not like obstetrics particularly, though. Private duty is her first love, and is the only type of duty she has ever done. She keeps her license renewed, but has no intention of using it in the very near future. A prom ise to her husband and a demand from him when they moved to Zebulon was that she not don a uniform again. She has not. Mr. and Mrs. Farmer were mar ried December 10, 1941. Shortly thereafter her husband went into the armed forces. She has a number of hobbies. She likes to paint with oils and on china. Because of the lack of time she hasn’t done much of it. Then there are cross word puzzles and bridge, which she loves as a means of relaxation. Anything growing she likes. In the horticulture line roses are her favorite. But if it’s green and growing she likes it. Travel is another of her favo rite hobbies. She is genuinely in terested in seeing how the other paTts of the state, nation and world live. When she retires she intends doing a great amount of sight seeing. She enjoys keeping her home at the comer of North and Church Streets. Cooking, she hates. Oth er household chores she doesn’t mind. Contrary to her opinion, her hus band thinks she is the greatest cook to be found anywhere. She is a member of Zebulon Methodist Church, having moved her membership from her home in Bailey only recently. Since she has been in Zebulon she has been very active in the American Le gion Auxiliary. She has served as president of this organization, and is a charter member of it. Mrs. Farmer is five feet three, weighs 105 pounds, has expressive blue eyes framed with glasses and has dark brown hair. IN SERVICE Richard D.
