A letter from Clinton O. Anderson, United States Secretary of Bob Sawyer Discusses Freezer Locker Plant With Rotary Members Bob Sawyer, manager of Colonial Frozen Foods of Zebulon, spoke to the Zebulon Rotary Club Friday night about the locker plant here, quoting statistics which proved that the business has been of un usual service to the community. Financed by Don Johnson, Sr., of Wake Forest, the plant here paid its way from the beginning. Ev ery locker was sold and the ren tal money deposited in the bank before construction work was be gun. Credit for this preliminary work, said Bob, goes directly to the Rotary Club. Recounting the history of the locker plant, Bob told how the members of the Rotary Club had realized the need of the plant and gone to work x o get it. Last year the Zebulon plant was instrumental in saving thousands of pounds of pork which would have been lost if freezing facili ties had not been available. Hog cholera attacked the animals dur ing warm weather forcing farm ers to kill while the temperature was too warm for saving the meat. Instead of losing the pork, as would have happened in years past, it was brought to Zebulon and processed in the local plant. Not only does Colonial Frozen Foods draw its business from this community, but during the seasons when farm produce is scarce, it processes sea food from the coast and strawberries when they are in season. Bob gave the Rotarians a pat on the back in closing by saying that Zebulon owes the club a debt of gratitude for the work it did in obtaining a freezer locker plant for the town. Agriculture, was read to the mem bers. In marking observance of the second annual Home Demon stration Week, Mr. Anderson de clared: “American womanhood has long enjoyed a freedom and respect ac corded to women in no other part of the world. As in every other phase of democratic life, this posi tion of esteem carries with it some definite responsibilities. It is in the home that the pattern of the culture of a people is established. The cradle of democracy is in a nation’s homes and families. “We may be happy that our cul ture is one that emphasizes ad vancing standards for family liv ing—in the ethical sense as well as in the practical. But nothing is so good that it cannot be made better; better in terms of the family’s health, comfort, educa tion, happiness, and understand ing. Under the leadership of the (Continued on Page 8) Feet Hurt? See Dr. Bloney There is one type of traveling salesman which Zebulon can well do without. He is not here with us often, nor are there enough jokes about him to bring him to anyone’s attention, but he is around enough to make a nui sance of himself. He’s the patent medicine sales man. You probably saw the last such visitor on the vacant lot across from City Market. The grrr-eat Doctor Bloney, creator and sole dispenser of Dr. Bloney’s Phoney Tonic, guaranteed to stop what ails you. Yessir! If dandruff bothers you, Dr. Bloney’s Phoney Tonic will remove the dandruff. If ar- Zebulon, N.

Bridgers, mayor-elect, served as mayor ' for four years from 1933 to 1937, and served as commissioner for several years before his first election as mayor. Bob Sawyer, manager of Colo nial Frozen Foods of Zebulon, is also a former commissioner, serv ing until his induction int< the army during the war. Norman Screws and R.

If your leg bothers you, it’ll remove your leg. If Dr. Bloney bothers you well, brother, you gotta listen anyhow, because Dr. Bloney is equipped with patent leather lungs and a megaphone mouth. Dr. Bloney pays a license tax to the Town of Zebulon, so maybe we have no room to kick. It’s ten bucks he forks over for the privilege of unloading his tonic on the innocent and the hopeful. But all Dr. Bloney has to do is hawk ten bottles of his colored water and he has his ten bucks back. Everything from there on is profit. FINALS SPEAKER • Jm mtL. *slr mk Pictured is J. M.

But is Dr. Bloney’s an honest living? “This miraculous little bottle of Dr. Bloney’s Phoney Tonic,” shouts the itinerant medicine man, “will cure you of your every ill before you get out of the sound of my voice!” Dr. Bloney is a loud speaker, and you are in Johnston County before you get out of the sound of his voice. And, too, by promising to cure you, Dr. Bloney is guilty of practicing medicine without a license, competing with our three esteemed M. D.’s who call Zebulon (Continued on Page 8) Theo. Davis Sons, Telephone 2561 Philip Massey, Mrs. C. E. Flowers On RC Aid Group The Disaster Committee of the Wake County Chapter of the Red Cross is organized to go into ac tion on a moment’s notice, should a catastrophe such as the Texaa City explosion, large or small, strike any where in the county, it was reported this week at a conference of division and sub committee heads to review pre arranged plans for handling such an emergency.

Other Chairmen Listed Other division chairmen report ing were those of survey and fi nance, registration and informa tion, transportation, public infor mation, clothing and central pur chase and supply. A plan for “disaster relief” has been prepared by the Commutee for each major town and commun ity of Wake County, including Zebulon, it was brought out at the conference. A part of this plan calls for a complete setup for an emergency hospital, to which a flying squadron of doctors, den tists and nurses will be rushed should the need arise. It was brought out at the con ference that fire or explosion constitute the major danger of a disaster in Wake County. This area is out of the tornado zone and is not within a flood danger area. Forrest H. Shuford, chairman of the Disaster Committee, read a tentative report of what the Red Cross has been called upon to do in the Texas City disaster ,as a guide to the local committee in anticipating its duty should disas ter strike in this area.
