Scouts Spend Week
In Organizing Patrols
The Zebulon Boy Scouts are re
organizing this week, forming
new patrols and dividing the troop
into two groups consisting of those
who will remain with Troop 40
and those who are over 15 and
wish to go into Senior Scouting.
The division is still tentative since
Scoutmaster Barrie Davis must
check with Occoneechee Council
headquarters in Raleigh for regu
lations governing the new unit in
Scouting.
The patrols will again be limit
ed to nine members, making it
necessary for the Rattlesnake Pa
trol to divide. Under the leader
ship of Patrol Leader K. D. Lloyd,
it has grown from 9 members to a
total of 15.
Last Saturday night about 20
Scouts camped at the rocks. The
night was uneventful except for
the arrival of a jeep which ran
into trouble with wire around its
drive shaft. While some of the
Scouts aided in removing the wire,
a member of the jeep party made
off with most of Souts Jimmy
Medlin’s breakfast.
The troop will make its monthly
trip to the Occoneechee Council
Court of Honor on Monday night.
The May Court is to be in Wake
Forest, where a new Scout cabin
will be dedicated. Scouts will
make the trip via bus.

Anti-Rat Campaign Now Taken
Into North Carolina Towns, Cities
Ellington Cites Need
For Spring Cleaning
On Most Local Farms
The Zebulon farmer who gives
his place a real spring “cleaning”
now will not only improve the
looks of his farm but will also
make it healthier and easier to
kc ip “trim” the rest of the year,
says Ed Ellington, Agriculture in
structor at Wakelon High School.
He offered the following clean
up hints for farm families: Gather
and dispose of all tin cans. Either
bury them or punch holes in theih,
to avoid providing breeding plac
es for mosquitoes.
Pick up all loose wire. Don’t
overlook the old baling wire which
has accumulated. It is easy to find
now before grass and weeds have
grown. Later it will tangle in
machinery, trip persons and ani
mals, and cause a great deal of
other trouble.
Be sure all broken glass is dis
posed of, thus preventing cuts on
children’s feet next summer.
Check fences and repair those
broken or falling down. A good
fence adds to the appearance of
the farm; a poor one detracts.
Right along with the fences,
fix those gates so they swing free
and easy.
Clean up the feed room, granary,
corn cribs, and wood house, Don’t
provide hiding places for rats and
breeding places for insects. Clean,
well-arranged outbuildings will
save time later.

Plan Was Carried Out
In Zebulon with Good
Results During Winter
Encouraged by the success of
the campaign against rats in rural
areas, the National Committee for
Rat Control is now extending the
rat eradication drive into towns
and cities throughout North Car
olina and other states, according
to Dr. A. C. Bulla, Wake County
Health officer, County Agent John
Reitzel, and L. C. Whitehead, ro
dent control socialist at State Col
lege.
Mayors and other city officials
in the State are being urged to
write for free literature n rat
control programs, Mr. Whitehead
said. Also, civic and garden clubs
and other community groups are
being asked to take an active part
in the program.
This plan was tested in Zebulon
during February with the coopera
tion of Mayor Bridgers and muni
cipal employees with satisfactory
results.
An estimated 110,000 farm fam
ilies in North Carolina cooperated
in the rural campaign. Red Squill
rat bait proved so effective in de
stroying the rodents that many
millers, grocerymen, and others
now are assisting in carrying the
campaign into urban centers.
Mr. Whitehead said the City of
Raleigh provides a good example
of how the rat population can be
kept down in an urban area.
Through the use of rat poison and
stoppage work, in which city and
coupty health officials have coop
erated, Raleigh now has less than
one-fifth as many rats as it had
five years ago, he asserted.
The anti-rat program in the
State Capital, MV. Whitehead con
tinued, has the active support of
the merchants, Chamber of Com
merce members, and city and
county officials, and for that reas
on the program has proved quite
effective.
Mayors who desire free educa
tional material for an anti-rat
campaign in their own cities may
obtain it by writing Mr. White
head at State College.
Local Cub Scouts Lose
To Wake Forest Pack
After Keith Temple’s home run
had tied the score in the sixth inn
ing, 10-10, the Zebulon Cub Scouts
committed two costly errors in the
final seventh stanza of the

Forest Cubs and lost to the visit
ors, 15-10, last Saturday after
noon. Temple was on the mound
all the way for Zebulon with Luth
er Long, Jr., behind the plate.
Joe Pippin starred in the field
for the local Cubs, who are coach
ed by Cubmaster Armstrong Can
nady. Pippin made impossiple
catches all afternoon and climaxed
his performance with an unassist-,
ed double play.
After the game the Zebulon
Pack set up the Wake Forest Cubs
to a weiner roast at Little River.
