Post Office Goes Into New Building Zebulon’s post office moved into its fine new building on Hor , ton Street yesterday, and business is proceeding as usual at the new location. No difficulties were ap parent, as Postmaster M. J. Sex ton and his staff took the move in stride. The post office, a brick and con crete block single-story structure, is located next to the water tank alley, a half block from Arendell Avenue. Completely modern, the structure fills a long need for ade quate space for Zebulon’s postal facilities. Home Builders Corporation, which is now constructing another building on the corner of Horton Street and Arendell Avenue for Ed Hales, was the construction firm on the post office project. The structure is owned by Mr. Sexton, and is leased to the federal gov ernment. The post office formerly occu pied space in the Duke Building can count on heavy supplies all during the month, Mrs. Mclnnis reported. Broilers and fryers are still in the plentiful class, as are dairy products, hens, eggs, peanut but ter, fresh and frozen fish, and rice. Local availability of the foods on the July plentiful list may vary from area to area because of trans portation and buying preferences, but most markets in the South, the home agent pointed out, will have abundant supplies of the listed foods. Shoppers who buy the seasonal ly plentiful foods will, as a rule, find them the most economical buys, she added Zebulon, N.

Reduced Acreage The foreword to the Extension report points out that “reduced crop acreages and declining prices for farm commodities during 1949 increased the necessity for adjust ments on many North Carolina farms. Most of the adjustments were made with a long-range view j in mind.” The Extension Service during the year was called upon for as sistance by an increased number of versons. To meet the challenge, • r vtens-ion agents made 315,137 j' sits, answered 666.140 office and teVnhone inquiries, distributed 1.-56.156 bulletins, and held hun dreds of meetings attended by many thousands of farm men and women. rr ncl ices Changed The report shows that 220,411 farms, 139,046 farm homes, and 43.262 other homes showed defin ite changes in practices during the year as a result of Extension work, and a total of 324,657 families were influenced by some phase of the Extension program.
