The forceful spray of this new high-pressure portable sprayer will
kill a blaze in a flash! Designed to do such farm tasks as that of
spraying the orchard shown here, it is equally useful for spraying
livestock, barns and poultry houses with DDt. It can be used for
spraying cotton plants with cyanamid in the fall, and killing weeds
in the spring. The spray delivers 4 gallons of material per minute
from its 50-gallon tank at 400 lbs. pressure. The unit may be pur
chased in different models from Zebulon ginners and farm suppliers.

Some of the delegates, from
some of the countries which are
destitute because of the war, had
to be met at the border with
clothes so that they could attend

not have gone if this provision
had not been made for them, and
I was told that money was sent
from America to help provide for
them. To anyone who does not
believe in missions, if you could

was the first to be selected for
paving in the new project begun
by the Zebulon Chamber of Com

residents and determine who is
willing to share the paving costs,
President Whitley appointed a

Original plans for the paving
project were drawn up by the!
Board of Directors of the Chamber

Is Rotary Speaker
Armstrong Cannady spoke to the
Zebulon Rotarians last Friday
night, bringing a message on the
operation of King Drug Company,
largest wholesale druggists in this
part of the country. His talk
was another in the series planned |
by program chairman Sidney Ed- J
dins to acquaint the members with j
the type of work done by the Ro
tarians.
Armstrong described the process,
an order goes through from the
time it is received by the com-1
pany until it is shipped on its
way to the customer.
An amazingly large amount and
varety of patent medicines is
carried by the wholesale druggists,
so that orders for almost anything j
in the patent medisine line may be
filled.
Although not generally known,
the wholesale company also car-<

Five County Fair
Has Average Week
Despite Bad Weather
The Five County Fair, held all
last week at Zebulon, enjoyed a
successful week despite inclement
weather for the first three days,
according to directors of the ex
position.
After a slow start on Monday
and Tuesday, when the Wake
County Sheriff closed all chance
concessions including bingo stands,
a heavy rain fell all day Wednes
day, curtailing all fair activities.
On Thursday, however, the weath
er cleared, and good crowds at
tended, especially on School Chil
dren’s Day—Friday afternoon,
when all rides were packed.
The Zebulon Boy Scout Troop,
which had an exhibit explaining
the various phases of Scouting
principles and practice, received a
blue ribbon for the best booth at
the fair. White Oak School re
ceived a red ribbon.
“We hope to have a better fair
next year,” said Manager Wade
Privette, “as far as agricultural
exhibits are concerned. We can’t
do much better on free acts, how
ever; the ones we obtained were
tops.”
Sheriff Clamps Down
None of the fair officials had
any comment to make on the ac
tion of Sheriff Pleasants in closing
the chance concessitons. Follow
ing local editorial editorial criti
cism of the sheriff’s action in clos
ing down on these concessions at
the Zebulon fair while allowing
the North Carolina State Fair
to run wide open, Sheriff Pleas
ants announced that his office
would clamp down on the State
Fair in the same manner.
Kerr Scott, commissioner of ag
riculture, announced that he was
behind Pleasants in his move.
(The North Carolina Department
of Agriculture sponsors the State
Fair.)

this week that no exercise is
planned at Wakefield or Bethany
in honor of the week, and it will
receive no other pulpit mention
locally except by Rev. Charles
Vale, Methodist minister.
Dr. L. M. Massey, superinten
dent of the Zebulon Baptist Sun
day School, stated that special em

riod next Sunday at departmental
