P M A Elections to Be Held Here December 2 Election of Production Market ing Administration committeemen and delegates to the county con vention will be held next Thurs day, December 2, from 9:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. A nominating conven tion will be held at each polling place Thursday morning from 9:00 to 9:30, prior to the balloting. The Production Marketing As sociation is charged with the ac complishment of functions form erly carried on by the AA com mittees, and its organization will be along the township lines orig inally followed by the AAA prior to World War II when the com munity organization system was initiated. All townships in Wake County, with the exception of Little River Township, will be represented by one PMA committee instead of the three groups used in the past. Little River, because of its size, population, and value of agricul tural products, has been allotted an extra PMA committee with powv. r equal to any other township group. Thus at the county PMA SPEAKING OF HOSPITALS: Carl Bjork's Tips By Carl E. Bjork If indifference or insensibility are emotions, then they must have been dormant in my life for long periods of time, or upon cer tain occasions. The absence of feeling toward certain persons or things stand out like islands in a wide deep sea as I view back wards my short and colorless ca reer. Indifference is a want of inter est but insensibility is a want of feeling. In some persons and convention next Friday, December 3, will be eleven delegates: one from each of the other nine Wake townships and two from Little River. Little River B includes all farm ers in the township who live west of Little River, and those who live north of the road running from Pierces through Hopkins Cross Roads, across Highway 264, and into Fowler’s Cross Roads. Little River A includes the rest of the farmers in the township. All residents' of the township who participated in 1948 farm pro gram as landlords or tenants and did not overplant their tobacco quotas are eligible to vote in this election. Little River B farmers will vote at J. R. Fowler’s Store, Little Riv er A farmers will vote at the Zeb ulon Smith-Douglas office, and Marks Creek township farmers will vote at the Wendell town of fice, according to Robert Ed Hor ton, local AAA chairman, and John I. Lynch, Marks Creek chairman. things I have registered zero in interest, and there has often been no feeling within my inne*' self at the same time. But time, too, plays its odd tricks with these emotions. Often do men sit down to scan the years of childhood, only to arise and compose poems upon fly ing backward to such days of yore. Suddenly an intense interest arises, and a keen feeling over long and forgotten scenes. (Continued on Page 4) Zebulon, N. C., Friday, November 26,1948 J. M. Broughton to Speak Here December 8 at Farm Meeting New Statewide Increase In Rates Is Requested By Telephone Company Pointing out that increased rates are necessary to meet today’s costs and render good service, the Southern Bell Telephone Company has filed an application for revis ed rates with the North Carolina Utilities Commission, according to K. G. Byers, manager of the Ral eigh office, who visited Zebulon Tuesday. • Southern Bell declared in its ap plication that the present rates in North Carolina are wholly inade quate for the needs of the business rendering good service and that its request is for only such rates as are absolutely necessary to meet the telephone needs of the state, such as telephones for the farmers of Zebulon. The rates now in effect are the emergency charges applied for by Southern Bell in September of 1946 for business and long distance services and in October of 1947 for residential service, Mr. Byers de clared. This rate increase in these classes of telephone service, rep resenting an over-all postwar in crease of 12-1-3% in revenue, was the first and has been the only general increase in rates in North Carolina since 1921. The emergency rates were re quested only as a stop-gap to par tially offset increases in costs up to the time application was made and were not expected to meet all the increased costs and provide for the full needs for good and de pendable service in North Caro lina, he continued. In addition, there have been substantial in creases in costs since the present rates were determined, the peti tion declared. Funeral Services Held For Leamon Long Funeral services were held Monday at the Zebulon Baptist Church for Leamon B. Long, 38, of Zebulon, Rt. 2, who died Sat urday after accidentally stabbing himself in the leg while slaughter ing a calf. The Rev. Carlton Mitch ell officiated. Mr. Long lived ap proximately fifteen minutes after the knife entered the large artery just about his knee. Survivors include his wife, the former Opal Grey Horrell; two sons, Johnnie Lee and Charles Wesley, and one daughter, Delores Catherine Long, all of the home; his father, J. W.

Perry, all of Zebulon; Mrs. B. B. Alford of Burlington, and Mrs. Ira Macon of Raleigh. This is the second accidental death in this family within the last few years, a son having been kill ed by an automobile. Union Services Union worship services were held yesterday morning at the lo- Baptist church. The Rev.

He will be in Zebulon on Wednesday, December 8, to ad dress the local Farm Bureau. Second Monthly Trade Day to Be Held Here Next Thursday, Dec. 2 Zebulon’s second monthly Trade Day will be held next Thursday, December 2, when an auction sale will be held by the local Chamber of Commerce for the benefit of farmers of the community, and cash prizes and merchandise will be given away as good will awards. In addition to the auction sale and awards, members of the Zeb ulon Chamber of Commerce are again offering special prices on merchandise, much of it at a price below actual cost, President Ralph Talton announced. Farmers are asked to have their goods at the town parking lot across from City Market by noon Thursday in order that they may be properly listed. The auction will begin at 2 p.m. In the event of rain, the sale will be held in the Five County Fair exposition hall. Merchants are expecting a big day on the basis of their special offerings. Because of the dual at traction of Trade Day and tht P MA election, many farmers are expected to be in town to take ad vantage of the monthly specials. Satisfaction was expressed with the first Trade Day (November 4) by both Zebulon businessmen and local farmers. Cars, mules, cows, pigs, and farm and home supplies were sold at auction. MRS. THEO. B. DAVIS: This, That & the Other By Mrs. Theo B. Davis If I hadn’t seen it in the Record, I might not have believed that fif teen years have passed since I be gan making chicken pies for Ro tary club supper§. In checking over the files of the paper I found the recipe printed in ’36, with a statement saying it was published by request and that I had been us ing it three years. Think of the hen and the biscuit dough! But what a joy to know how to make a dish that stays popular so long. I made three and one-half big Theo. Davis Sons, Publishers Annual Barbecue to Be Held in Wakelon Gym; Membership Drive Lags Senator J. Melville Broughton will address the membership of the Zebulon Farm Bureau at their dinner meeting Wednesday, De cember 8, at 5:30 p.m. at the Wakelon Gymnasium, Robert Ed Horton announced yesterday. The senator will be accompanied by his wife. Around 600 farmers and their wives are expected to attend the annual barbecue, which is open to all members who sign up for 1949 by November 29. The local unit of the Farm Bureau is now in the last phases of its 1949 membership campaign. Membership quota for the local Farm Bureau was set by the coun ty organization at 600, and ap proximately three-fourths of this number of members—individual and associate—have been secured thus far. The Wake County quota is 2,750, and through yesterday 2614 members had been obtained. “We are still running behind the quota and our own expectations,” Horton stated, “and we are anx ious to reach our quota because previously we have always led the entire county. Fuquay Springs has already exceeded its own quota of 655 members, obtaining over eight hundred.” Other Wake County units of the organization have either reached or come within 10 per cent of their quotas. Apex, Panther Branch, Swift Creek, Fuquay Springs, and Knightdale have exceeded their quotas; Wendell and Rolesville are within 35 and 12 members, re spectively, of attaining their quo tas of 350 and 400. Any local farmer who has not been contacted personally in the membership campaign is urged by the Farm Bureau to bring or mail his dues to D. D. Chamblee, John H. Ihrie, or R. E. Horton. Terminal Grill Now Under New Owners Terminal Grill, located at the Zebulon bus station, is now man aged by Mr. and Mrs. Milton Brannon, who took over the su pervision of the business succeed ing A. W. Parker. The Grill will offer hot dogs, hamburgers, and complete foun tain service, in addition to a full line of magazines and pocket nov els. hens into pies last week by that same recipe, and they were the main feature of the Rotary supper. Before I got round to putting the gladiola corms in paper bags with napthalene flakes sifted over to kill thrip, I read in the Country Gentleman an expert’s advice that says it is better to use a dusting powder containing from three to five per cent DDT. This has the advantage of not having to be taken off, thus doing away (Continued on Page 5)
