THE ZEBULON RECORD
Volume 24. Number 36
Well, here .they are, folks. Almost any day now you’re going
to see someone walk down Arendell Avenue dressed like one of these
young ladies, and we figured you need advance warning—otherwise
you may think you’ve pulled a Rip Van Winkle trick, and slept
since 1910. Personally we think they’re pretty silly looking, but
the ladies in New York are wearing these styles; and so, therefore,
will be the ladies in Zebulon.

State Fair to Last for Two More
Days; Horton Takes Hog Prizes
North Carolina’s 1947 State
Fair, which got under way
Tuesday morning, is presenting
some of the finest farm and
commercial exhibits ever seen in
this State, according to Zebulon
residents who have toured the
packed exhibit halls.
The fair will continue through
Saturday night. The big feature
Saturday will *be auto races sanc
tioned by the American Automo
bile Association, starting at 1:30
o’clock. A colorful Broadway
- tine. However, for sometime most
of the reports of rabies infec
tion have been limited to four
sections of the county.
It appears now that we have
reached the point where quaran
tine can be lifted, with the hope
i that there will be no further re
ports of rabies in unusual num
; bers.
In lifting this quarantine which
will become effective Wednesday,
October 8, 1947 at twelve o’clock
noon, I wish to thank the public
j
for its cooperation in this effort
to help stamp out rabies. This
can only be done by strict co
operation on the part of dog own
ers in controlling dogs under
their supervision. In lifting
quarantine, it is hoped that the
public will understand that it still
has a, responsibility in the proper
care of dogs; that the law en
forcement officers still have au
thority to take into custody any
dog on wliich license has not been
paid and which does not wear an
i identification tag. The law en-
I forcement officers also have the
authority to enforce the law
j against vicious dogs which reads
as follows: “Confinement or
leashing of vicious dogs: When an

musical revue is offered at the
grandstand each night. On the
midway is the World of Mirth
Shows, featuring 50 rides and
shows.
Agricultural exhibits at the
fair include the Poland China
hog show of Pet Horton of Zeb
ulon, Route 4. As usual, Mr.
Horton is a prize winner.
Many local men are operating
restaurant concessions at the fair,
including Wade Privette, Jack
Mitchell and L. E. Huddleston.

Chamber of Commerce Boosting
Zebulon's Beef-Raising Program
Tons of Dried Eggs Are
Given to Lunchrooms
In North Carolina
A nutritional boost in the way
of nearly a third of a million
pounds of dried eggs has been
given the school lunch program
in North Carolina, which in
cludes Wakelon, Wendell, Bunn,
and Corinth-Holders Schools, the
State Department of Agriculture
has announced.
Nine solid carloads of dried
egg?, totaling 310,000 pounds—
the equivalent of about 950,000
dozen shell eggs—have been al
located to the State for its
school lunchrooms, to be used
in enriching the noonday diet
of North Carolina school chil
dren. The first shipments are ex
pected this week.
The eggs were purchased by the
U. S. Department of Agriculture
through its price supporting ope
rations, and contributed to the
lunchroom program. Distribu
tion of such food commodities is
handled by the State Department
of Agriculture.
Mrs. Dewey Massey, manager
of the cafeteria at Wakelon, stat
ed that the dried eggs will prove
a godsend, in view of the curtail
ed federal aid program for
lunchrooms.
Zebulon Ginners Urge
More Cotton Planting
Wake County farmers were
urged this week by George T.
Ashford, Red Springs, President
of the Carolinas Ginners Associa
tion, to plan now to plant to
cotton some of the 6,769 acres
that will be idle next year in
Wake County by reduced flue
cured tobacco allotments.
With an expected 20 percent
blanket reduction in flue-cured
allotments in 1948, Wake’s to
bacco allotment ’will be reduced
from 33,849 acres to approxi
mately 27,080 acres, Ashford
said. Tobacco farmers, he added,
would be wise to investigate the
possibility of taking up a good
portion of the reduced acreage
with cotton.
Cotton is second only to tobac
co as a cash crop in North Caro
lina, it was further pointed out
by F. D. Finch and J. R. Alford,
local ginners.
“Inventories of cotton manu
facturers are more depleted than
Ur many years,” Finch said, “and
cotton can be planted without a
complete change in farming ope
rations. We are proud of the im
proved living standard of our
farm people, and we cannot af
ford to stand by and face a 20
percent reduction in cash in
come, which will amount to ap
proximately $3,417,3U0 for Wake
County at present tobacco prices

Bookmobile to Make Next Visit
To Zebulon Monday, October 27
By Clyde Smith
Make note of these two books to
read:
The Bright Promise by Richard
Sherman. This novel deals with 1
those twelve years, 1933-1945,
which historians have already
titled “the Roosevelt Era.” But
if this is a history, it is the his
tory of a heart—the heart and
ever-human spirit of Amy Ellery,
whose story this is and who tells
it as only she could have told it.
It is a story of many things; of

Carload of Beef Cattle
Sold Here in Three
Days by Committee
Placement of beef cattle on the
farms of the Zebulon trade area
is already successfully underway,
President C. V. Whitley of the
local Chamber of Commerce said
yesterday. The first car of hei
fers and steers has been ordered
through County Agent J. L. Reit
zel, and its sale has been over
subscribed.
Mr. Reitzel met with the Live
stock Promotion Committee of
| the Chamber of Commerce last
I Friday night, and explained the
method of buying the beef cattle,
which are expected to sell from
SBS to sllO per head. Present at
| the meeting in the Theo. Davis
| Sons building were Reitzel, Pres
ident Whitley, Chairman Bob
Sawyer of the livestock commit
tee, Ed Ellington, Cashier R.
| Vance Brown of the Peoples Bank
& Trust Company, Ralph Talton,
j and Ferd Davis.
After the plan to bring cattle
to this area in an effort to aug
ment farm income—certain to be
lower next year because of cuts
in tobacco acreage—was given the
committee, Brown offered to fi
nance the program from the time
the cattle were first purchased
until they are delivered in Zeb
ulon. He stated that his offer,
which was accepted by the Cham
ber of Commerce, was in line
with his bank’s policy of helping
| its own business by helping the
farmer’s business.
