film not only pictured the begin

cancer appear. Some of these
danger signs, the film said, are
persistent sores, about the mouth
and other body openings, chronic
hoarseness and coughing, and pro

County Health Officer
Asks for Cooperation
In Anti-Rabies Drive
By A. C. Bulla, M. D.
In compliance with the law pas
sed by the General Assembly of
1935 and amended in 1941 and
1945 requiring annual vaccination
of dogs during April, May, and
June of each calendar year, I have
named Dr. L. F. Koonce, 420 S.
Bloodworth Street, Drs. Scarbor
ough and Dobbs, Fayetteville Rd.,
! Dr. William Moore, Sr., Cary
Road, Dr. R. L. Williams, Western
Blvd., and Dr. Martin Litwack,
Fuquay Springs, licensed veterin
arians to hold clinics during April
and May at strategic locations in
various sections of Wake County
for the convenience of people liv
ing in these sections that they may
comply with the requirements of
the law in having their dogs vac
cinated. Handbills have been
printed giving dates and places of
these clinics and will be widely
distributed throughout Wake
County.
At the beginning of this cam
paign I wish to emphasize the im
portance of vaccinations and to
urge dog owners of the advisabil
ity of utilizing this opportunity
of having their dogs immunized
against rabies and thereby build
ing up and maintaining a relative
ly high degree of immunity in the
dog population.
The vaccination of dogs with an
approved antirabic vaccine is an
accepted procedure for controlling
rabies. Dog owners should recog
nize this fact now and not wait
until there is an outbreak or
threatened outbreak of rabies.

Wake Forest Players
Form Nucleus of Local
Team; Hoey Manager
Zebulon will have a baseball
team this summer, President Pet
tigrew Gay of the local club an
nounced yesterday.
Gay, who has been playing his
team in the Tri-County League
under the name of Gay’s Store,
was approached by Zebulon busi
nessmen last season concerning
the possibility of a move to the
town. Last year the plan was
not deemed possible, but prom
ise of local support and gifts of
cash by local merchants have
brought about the shift this spring.
The team, which is made up of
Wake Forest College players, is
managed by Ed Hoey, and has al
ready played two games, winning
them both. This week the group
will play on Saturday and Sunday,
meeting the Pearces team here on
Saturday afternoon and there on
Sunday afternoon.
Local games will be played on
the Wakelon School diamond, ap
proval of the local school board
having been received last Monday
night. For the time being, at least,
no admission charge will be made.
Plans for bleacher seats are be
ing made.
There are ten teams in the Tri-
County League this year, several
of them exceptionally strong.
Pearces’ team is among the lead
ers, carrying many State College
players on its roster. Other teams
in the league are Mitchell’s Store,
Wendell, Knightdale, Clayton,
Robertson Chemical, Bethany, Ar-
Areher Lodg >, and Bunn-Pilot.
Local residents are invited to
attend the local opener next Sat
urday. Game time is 2:30 p.m.
President Gay emphasized the fact
that there will be no admission
charge.
