Another project will carry telephone service down Highway No. 39, south out of Zebulon as far as Emit Church the latter part of this year,” Woodson stated. “The extension of our lines in all directions out of Zebulon is in keeping with Southern Bell’s plans to bring telephone service to the farms of the areas which it serves as quickly as possible, ana is another step in our program to extend the convenience of the tele phone to farm families,” he said. “We are doing our level best to hasten the day when rural tele phone service will be available for everyone who wants it.” Woodson concluded.
