Starting April Ist., and continuing until Sept. Ist., the Zebulon Record will con
duct a Yard and Garden Contest, which will entitle the Zebulon winners o*l awards to
enter the national contest. _
This campaign is staged by this newspaper at an expense tor the plans, tne litera
ture, the window cards, the cartoons and newspaper illustrations. But if there is
one thing above another we are proud of it is the young and growing town ot Zebulon
and its fine country surrounding. Don’t you feel the same way about it.
This is something that will attract national attention to our community, it we go
at it right and keep at it. It will make a f r prettier town. Tourists will remark on
our civic spirit and love of beauty. , ,
Local committees will have charge of the contest and choose judges to make de
cisions and give awards. Beautiful large stvl engraved diplomas on parchment show
ing the honor won will be awarded successful contestants who make a required grade,
while gifts will be bestowed on those who re top evade winners. .
Such big cities as Cincinnati,, Philadelphia, Norfolk, Chicago, St. Louis, etc., ha\e
used this plan with such success that it has become a permanent proposition.
In petting the campaign started or ic ording* to schedule and plans, the Recoicl
will have a special representative here fe ’ several days arranging the production
next week of the Yard and Garden issue, which was deferred from this week to make
a btter presentation and to give our readers more ligdit on the subject. Many pictures
will feature our issue next week. Local business men will now’ have something that ap
peals to public interest here to get in back of and show the people of Zebulon that
they too are interested in our civic beautifying. Wait, watch. Get ready to go, for le
member, “You win if you lose.”

FLAWS IN CHIMNEYS
The chimney should be carefully
inspected for flaws. Sometimes there
is leakage through the joint between
the chimney and roof, caused by the
chimney foundation’s setting, or, vice
versa, by the chimney foundation’s
not settling and the frame’s shrink
age and settling. If the top of the
chimney is not properly covered with
a coping or chimney top, water may
Tun down between the bricks and the
flue lining to stain the wall surfaces
below The connection between the
roof an dthe masonry of the chimney
should be flashed w r ith metal to turn
the water away from the joint. Chim
ney repairs, highly important as they
ire, cost little.
