Members of the University’s undefeated basketball team, the two heighty hoopsters pick up extra spending money by sitting on evenings they are not busy playing ball. Heavy Training Continues For Field Artillery Croup Lt. Philip Pearce instructed the newly formed communications section Monday night in the sec ond hour of drill for Battery A, 113 FA Bn. The section is under the leadership of Cpls. John Clark and Wesley Pearce, both veterans with communications experience. First Sergeant Sidney Holmes, assisted by the chiefs of section Sgts. Frank Massey and Johnnie Gay, ran the firing sections through cannoneers drill. The entire battery is working rapidly toward final preparation for the 15 days of active duty next summer. The mess section, un der Sgt. Percy Parrish, and the drivers’ section, under Sgt. J. P. Arnold, are rounding into shape. The battery loses one of its most valuable evterans this week. Sgt. lc. George Henry Temple, because of business conflict, found it ne cessary to request a discharge from the National Guard. He has been valuable in instructing the re cruits since the organization of the battery. Enlistment Requests Two requests were received Monday night from men want ing to join the Guard. Their names were placed on a list, and they will be notified as soon as vacancies occur. The battery is frozen at its present strength by the Adju tant General because of budgetary limitations. The second combat film of the year will be shown Monday night during the first hour of drill. It will follow a training film on camouflage. Members of civic or ganizations are invited to visit the armory and see the local unit and view the motion picture. Capt. Barrie Davis and Sfc. Clif ford Gilliam, administrative as sistant for the battery, plan to vis it the firing battery located at Roxboro next week to discuss the problems encountered on maneu vers with members of the Roxboro group. Supply Sergeant Bob Sawyer has nearly completed his preliminary inventory in preparation for an inspection which will be held Feb ruary 23. This is the first thor ough check of all the material since its arrival. Caretaker Sgt. J. P. Arnold is planning a workshop room and ad ditions to the supply room. New shipments of clothing and supplies have overcrowded the supply and arms room, and more space is necessary. Mrs. Brantley's Boy, Bill, Is Getting a College Course In Canasta; She Reports He Learned His Lessons Well Mrs. R. H. “Bo” Brantley, Sr., advised me Wednesday that she is a constant loser in this game called Canasta, and that if misery loves company, then we two ought to get together. She reported that her son, Bill, acquired a knowledge of cards at Wake Forest in addi tion to the book-learning, and during the Yuletide holidays he put his ability to use in show ing his mother how little she knew. My complex, which was drift ing toward the inferiority side, re ceived a decided boost the other night when I cornered the market of jokers and deuces, and with the aid of all those wild cards, won my first game going away. Maybe now I’ll start being lucky in cards as well as love. Zehulon, N.

We, meaning the wife and I, thought we had that bathroom whipped until the dog let out a yelp two days ago. A spray of hot water was hitting ‘ the pooch in the face and she let the world know about it. I’ll get around to purchasing a couple of rubber washers for the hot water line one of these days. And thinking about the dog— it’s one of those long, low crea tures, those that look like a sausage with legs. Mrs. O. B. Spivey gave it to Judy quite a few months be fore we were married, and so when I took myself a wife, I took myself a dog, too. There’s any number of ways to pronounce its name, it seems. Most folks call it a “dash-hound,” Don't Let Death Take YOUR Holiday! Five Semi-Pro Teams Request Admittance To Little River League Five teams have asked for a place in the proposed Little Riv er Basketball League, and two others have been invited to join in the formation of the semi-pro group. A meeting is scheduled for 5:15 this afternoon in the Theo. Davis Sons offices to draw up by laws and a schedule for the next two months. Ollie Wall at Knightdale, Dol phin Griffin at Wendell, J. R. Stone at Bailey, and S. W. Marshall at Wake Forest, all requested places, and Youngsville and Roles ville are also expected to join. A tournament to decide the champion of the leagues has been proposed by Pat Farmer, presi dent of the Zebulon Chamber of Commerce. The proceeds would be used to aid in paying the lighting fund notes. Banquet Seats Will Be Auctioned by Lions Club Tomorrow afternoon at two o’clock the Zebulon Lions Club will hold an auction to sell the benches built for the Charter Night Ban quet which was held in the Wake lon gymnasium last month. The sale will take place on the vacant lot beside the Theo. Davis Sons’ building. The benches, which cost over SI.OO each for materials alone, will be auctioned by M. L. Hag wood, assisted by Worth Hinton and other Lions. and that’s what I call it when ever I’m in a good mood. At other times what I call it ain’t repeat able. Actually, Mother Webster says its daks “’hoond” in his dictionery, but that doesn’t sound like the dog looks—or maybe it does. Dachshunds are clean, little pups. The only dog smell about them are their ears, and if a person cleans them out once in a while, they will not scent up the house, as do some of the long haired pooches. That is good, because they love to lie around the house. Which reminds me, it’s time to keep the dog housebroken by giv ing it a before-bedtime trip out doors. —Barrie S. Davis Theo. Davis Sons, Publishers Attempt to Be Made To Exterminate Rats On Thursday, Jan. 19 A blitz on rats in Wake Coun ty will be put on in a one-day county-wide rat campaign on Thursday, January 19, 1950, ac cording tc/ J. L. Reitzel, County Farm Agent. Final arrangements have been made so that rat bait will be distributed through 45 dis tributing points in the county on Thursday, January 19 from 11 a. m. to 5 p. m. This program is being put on in cooperation with the Wake County Health Department, Exten sion Service, Vocational Agricul tural Teachers, and other agricul tural agencies in the county. It is through the cooperation of the Vocational Teachers and other dis tributing agents that we will be able to cover the county in one day. These persons are coming to the county office to receive bait for distributing to persons in their communities. It is estimated that between 7,- 000 and 8,000 pounds of bait will be distributed on this day. The bait will be furnished to farm ers and other property owners free of charge on January 19 at the distributing points listed and at the Public Health Office on Jan uary 19, 20, and 21 free of charge. Red Squill Used The material which will be used will be red squill and raw fish. This material is being used because it is usually not dangerous to children and animals on the farm and will kill rats when properly distributed. Rats are very destructive to grain and other types of feed stor ed on the farm and also distinc tive to buildings and other farm property. They spread Typhus Fever and other diseases. It is estimated by the Department of Agriculture that it costs more than $3.00 per year per rat on the prem ises. Depends on Public The success of this program will depend on the cooperation of every farmer and property owner in Wake County taking advantage of this material and applying it simultaneously throughout the county. The best time to dis tribute the material is late in the afternoon and this should be done by placing a small hunk about the size of a hickory nut at va rious locations throughout the buildings and rubbish piles on the farm. Efforts should be made to place the bait near where rats usually travel. It is a good idea to confine cats and dogs when the bait is being placed throughout the premises. The following places will be poison distribution centers on Thursday, January 19, from 11 a. m. to 5 p. m.: Cary Robertson’s Store, Beth any; Riley Hill School; W. B. Hop kins & Son’s Store, Hopkins Cross roads; Wakelon Vocational Build ing, Zebulon; Vocational Building, J. E. Shepherd Colored High School, Zebulon; Mack D. Perry’s Store, Mitchell’s Mill; Rolesville Vocational Building, Rolesville.
