Zebulon To Have
Fair Sept 21-Oct 2
Plans have just about been ef
fected for a first class fair in Zeb
ulon this fall. The promotors are
Wade Privette, Whitley Chamblee,
and E. Dabney Gill. The Board of
Directors are: in addition to the
officers, R. H. Bridgers, F. D. Finch
H. C. Stallings, W. J. Wilder, C V.
Whitley, Avon Privette, W. S. Wil
liams, and Wallace Chamblee.
Papers of incorporation will be
issued soon. The fair will be called
the Zebulon Five County Fair and
will appeal for exhibits from those
sections of Wake, Johnston, Wil
son, Nash and Franklin counties
adjacent to Zebulon. The promo
tors say they expect to have prem
iums for the agricultural exhibits
that will appeal to the farmers and
bring out the very best of all pro
duce grown on farms. Flowers,
fruits, vegetables, canning, cook
ing and every other exhibit of in
terest usually found in a good fair
will be on display with suitable
premiums offered.
In addition to the agricultural
exhibits which are expected to be
by far the best ever seen in a fair
in this section, there will be a mid
way of attractions of the cleanest
and best to be had. One attraction
already signed comes directly from
the fair in Winston-Salem, we un
derstand, and appears at only one
other fair in the state.
Let everybody get ready for the
Five County Fair. The farmers
may now begin to grow the best
produce for exhibit, for they are
assured a good prize; the house
keepers may begin to do the ir best
in cooking and canning, being cer
tain to find prizes offered that
will justify doing their best.
Let everybody get ready for a good
time in Zebulon during the week of
September 27 to October 2.
FOR A HAPPY HOLIDAY
The “Glorious Fourth” can be
just as glorious as we choose to
make it. This year the long week
end created by the holiday will in
tensify the hazards which the 4th
always produces. The watchword
should be, “Take care!”
Independency Day celebrates the
independence of the nation. Great
streams of traffic pouring over the
highways will show how essential
are mutual regard and courtesy
among drivers. Fireworks will
demonstrate it too. A “firecracker
thrown by another” is, according to
the National Conservation Bureau,
the greatest single cause of the
tremendous number of fireworks
accidents every Fourth of July. At
the beaches and lakes, imprudent
swimmers will again remind us that
human life must be risked to save
the life of a drowning person.
Reasonable care divides a happy
holiday from the tragedies which
mar it. Reasonable care will in
sure you, your family, and the oth
er fellow against mishap. For in
stance :
If you drive —see that your car is
in good mechanical condition. Check
tires, lights, brakes, steering mech
anism, windshield wiper, rear-view
mirror, horn. Drive skillfully, at a
reasonable speed. Observe the rules
and courtesies of the road.
If you must use fireworks—give
yourself plenty of space. Keep a
way from children and animals and
buildings. Throw firecrackers a
way from people and inflamable
materials, not at them. Never hold
an exploding firecracker, nor set
them off under a bottle or can.
Cauterize the smallest wound im
mediately-tetanus posioning works
fast and kills.
If you go swimming-r-swim in
safe and protected places. Beware
of sttrong tides and currents.

REGISTER YOl’R CHILD
Raleigh,—The increasing impor
tance of seeing that every child
born is properly registered was
emphasized by Dr. R. T. Stimpson,
director of the Vital Statistics Di
vision of the State Board of Health
Among other things, he called at
tention to the fact that after 1942
all persons registering for bene
fits under the Federal Social Se
curity Act must furnish copies of
their birth certificates. Much of
the child welfare now being done by
states, towns and other agencies is
dependent upon proper birth re
ports, while, in order to comply with
child labor laws, ages must be le
gally and definitely established.
“See that the child’s name ap
pears on its birth certificate, be
cause this gives it an undisputed
status,” Dr. Stimpson advised. “A
certificate without the child’s name
is of very little value to the child.
Frequently, in legal matters, much
depends upon the birth record.
There have been frequent cases
where the absence of such authentic
record meant serious financial loss.'
Registration may be accomplish
ed by mail. “It is such a small
thing to ask, this filling out of a
certificate to guard the child’s
birthright and prevent future le-

gal and other complications,” Dr.
Stimpson declared. “The child is
not the only one affected by the
failure of the doctor, the midwife
or parent, in the order named, to re
port its birth. Failure to make re
ports will soon throw the regis
trar’s record out of balance. To
be completely effective, vital statis
tics must be as nearly accurate as
possible The law says every baby
shall be registered within five days
after birth. Reports are made to
local registrars in the various coun
ties. The names of these have
been printed in a pamphlet issued
by the State Board of Health.
“For the sake of the baby, who
may later stand in need of this
very important information, see
that each birth is properly regis
tered with the right official.”
Life Saving Class
At Lake Myra
Mr. Russel Nicholson, director of
water safety for Wake county chap
ter of the American Red Cross, an
nounced that Junior and Senior
Life Saving Classes will be held by
the Wake County chapter of the
Red Cross at Lake Myra beginning
Wednesday, July 7, from 4:00 till
5:30. An announcement will be
made the opening day as to whe
ther classes will be held every day
or every other day.
A learn-to-swim campaign will
also be held for people who do not
know T how. Watch for further an
nouncements as to the time that
classes will be held.
It is gratifying to announce that
there will be no charge for this
course. Not only will instruction be
free, but the management of Lake
Myra offers free entrance into the
water for those who take the
course- An effort will be made to
transport from Zebulon those who
enroll for the entire series of les
sons. All who desire the teaching
and can attend regularly are asked
to leave their names with Badger
Johnson at Carolina Power and
Light Co. here, or at the Record
office with Barry Davis.
SUN-STOVE
Out in California, H. E. McCoy
has built a de-luxe sun-cooker
which he uses for barbecuing meat.
This new solar stove consists of 20
panel-mirrors arranged one above
the other, and so spaced that the
top panel is 11 feet from the ground
The mirrored surfaces reflect heat
from the sun upon a “hot spot” in
the oven, a yard-square compart
ment enclosed on thre sides with
special ventilated glass.
Dy turning a set of thumb screws,
the “chef” regulates the angles of
the mirrors and controls the size
and temperature of the hot spot.
This area may be heated to 1000
degrees Fahrenheit, a temperature
hot enough to melt several metals

SAFETY FIRST
(We reprint what we think to be
an excellent safety letter, which
was distributed by the Texas Co.
The letter follows. Editor )
ALL EMPLOYES, CONSIGNEES,
AND DISTRIBUTORS
Gentlemen:
The driver who always claims
his right of way will sooner or lat
er meet a fellow-driver with the
same feeling or disposition. It
will be just too bad when two
such drivers meet. Just who has
the right of way ? The courts hold
that the man on the right has it,
provided he enters the intersection
first. This ruling applies to inter
sections where there is ari absence
of traffic lights.
To be haled into court, because
of a right of way claim and on ac
count of one of our drivers failing ■
to extend one of the courtesies of
the road would indeed be humiliat-f
ing to us. Not only would it en
tail financial loss, but it would have
psychological effect upon the buy
ing public, which would react up
on the Texas Company in numerous
ways.
We do not want any law suits,
nor do we want our drivers injured
or our trucks, cars or delivery wag
ons damaged because of right of
way trouble. Therefore, we ask
our men to relinquish this, right,
even though it belongs to them
rather than taking a chance of hit
ting another vehicle, or perhaps in
juring or killing someone. Fail- j
ure to extend this right of way
courtesy was responsible for 135,-
840 accidents in 1935 causing
the death om 3,J>80 persons and in
juries to 191,880 others.
Exemplify this courtesy during
all your driving hours.
Yours very truly,
JRW:JPE J. R. Walker
HELP FOR THE GARDENER
Through use of a chemical liquid
applied to the base of plant cut
tings, even the poorest of amateur
gardeners may now propagate his
favorite rose, magnolia, favorite
fruit tree or any one of dozens of
shrubs, trees or perennials. The
discovery of this liquid, which
stimulates tremendously the root
growing properties of plants, was
announced by Dr. F. W. Zimmer
man and Dr, A. E. Hitchcock of the
Boyce Thompson Institue for Plant
Research some two years ago at the
American Association for the Ad
vancement of Science and named by
them Hormodin “A”.
The amateur is not the only one
to benefit by this discovery. The
commercial grower, farmer and
horticulturist will find hormodin
useful. Cuttings treated with hor
modin will usually root in from five
to eight days, saving time ,labor
and money. The writer has experi
mented successfully with azalea,
lilac, winterberry, and rhododen
dron.
Fruit growers find they can now
propagate apple and peach trees
from cuttings with more satisfac
tory results than can be obtained
with grafting methods. A most im
portant part of the process how
ever, and one over which much
care msut be exercised, is the pro
vision of shade and water for cut
tings after a good root system has
been started.

HOT WEATHER ADDS TO
DAIRYMAN’S PROBLEM’S
•
Faulty rations, heat, and flies
ate blamed for the difficulty in
getting cows to produce a full, even
flow of milk through the summer.
In July, said John A. Arey, ex
tension dairy specialist at State
College, grazing in most perma
nent pastures gets short and tough
and the grass contains less protein
than earlier the season.
Temporary grazing crops such as
lespedeza and sudan grass are need
ed to supplement the permanent
pasture, he said; or the cows, should
be fed silage, with the protein con
tent of the grain mixture being in
creased to 20 per cent-
As the grazing in the pasture
decreases ,he added, the quantity
of grain fed should be increased.
Cows suffer from heat, and if
possible the place where they are
kept during the hot part of the day
should be provided with shade and
an ample supply of fresh water.
Flies will irritate cows and keep
them from producing a full milk
flow, Arey continued.
As far as possible, fly breeding
places should be eliminated. Stalls
and manure pitts should be cleaned
as often as possible, at least once
a week, and the manure hauled to
the fields.
Fly traps and sprays will also
help protect the animals from this
annoyance, he stated. There are a
number of good sprays that will
kill and repel flies. These matters
are just as important to be looked
after where only one family cow ia
kept as where there is a herd.
Farmers Bulletin No. 734, which
may be obtained from the U. S. De
partment of Agriculur, Washington
D. C., gives nstructions for making
good, inexpensive fly traps at
home.
The May pea crop in Pasquotank
county left a lot of headaches and
empty pockets, reports county a
gent G. W. Falls, who says grow
ers want some kind of farm pro
gram to aid truck growers in that
section.
Applications of ground limestone
and phosphate has meant greener
pastures in Madison county this
spring than in many years past.
More livestock is being grazed on
the same acreage with better re
sults.
