Bulla Announces
It's Shot Season
This is to announce the Wake
County Health Department annual
typhoid fever and diphtheria vacci
nation schedule which will begin
June 11, 1956, and end July 5, Dr.
A. C. Bulla, Wake County health
physician, said.
We have typhoid and diphtheria,
as well as many other communica
ble diseases, under control. Ty
phoid fever and diphtheria are
practically eliminated and seldom
occurs in a community. Let’s keep
them under control, Dr. Bulla said.
In order to do this, we must keep
a larger percentage of the counties
population immunized. This is es
pecially true of diphtheria.

One hundred fifty children were
enrolled in the Red Cross “Learn to
Swim” program at Lake Glad last
week. Approximately one-third of
these children are from the Zebu

The cost of transportation is sup
plied by the recreation commissions
from Zebulon and Wendell. The
activity buses from both schools
are being used to transport the
children to the swim classes.
There is no individual expense
for these swimming lessons due to
the courtesy of the owner of Lake
