directors will meet in Morehead
City August 11, with the gover
nor. members of the Council of
State, and Ports Authority mem
bers meeting with them. Also

“interested in development of the
Morehead area.” The railroad
will play a prominent part in
ports development, and coordina
tion of efforts of the railroad and
Ports Authority is the aim.

Much to the surprise of many
peoples, the governor’s suggestion
that the State take over operation
and maintenance of city streets
has won the acclaim of many rural
folks. Lots of the “branch-head”
boys have written the governor
saying they favor the proposal.
Last Rites Are Held
For W. J. Talley, 55
W. J. Talley, 55, of Zebulon,
Route 2, died in a Wilson hospit
al Monday morning following a
short illness. The Rev. Albert
Lamm conducted funeral services
at the graveside in the Bunn
Cemetery at 3 p. m. Tuesday.
Surviving are: three sisters,
Mrs. Sidney Horton of Zebulon,
Route 2, Mrs. Sam Britten of
Rocky Mount, and Grace Talley of
Rocky Mount; and one brother, J.
S. Talley of Louisburg, Route 1.
MRS. THEO. B. DAVIS:
This, Thaf, & the Other
It was not merely for my own
sake that I rejoiced when cool
weather replaced the unusually
hot spell of last week. So many
birds had sat around in our trees
with their mouths open that I had
reached the place of being nervous
when looking at them. All this
week birds have kept their mouths
shut, except when feeding or sing
ing.

A recent gift of assorted cheeses
was much appreciated; but trying
them out has proved that there is
much in the cheese line to which
I am a total stranger. Having po
litely refused to accept Limber
ger or Roquefort I had felt fair
And the idea has gained support
of lots of city leaders, too. Oil
lobbyists in North Carolina al
ready are scowling over the pros
pect of an added gasoline tax and
are packing their carpet bags with
greenbacks preparatory to a trip
to Raleigh.

It is interesting to note that
slightly less than one-fifth of the
secondary roads to be constructed
under the $200,000,000 program al
ready have been built. And this
despite the fact that in the past
three months North Carolina built
more roads than at any like period
in the history of the state. There’s
I still a fair-sized amount to go
around getting folks out of the
mud—some $170,000,000, to be ex
act.

A group of veterans from Pied
mont North Carolina are prepar
ing to circulate positions through
out the state asking for a state
war bonus. They will suggest
a special tax on beer to pay for
it. They are operating under the
name of “Veterans’ Associations”
I and are seeking the active support
of all vet organizations
The plan calls for presentation
of the petition signed by 300,-
000 veterans, they hope to the
1951 General Assembly.

Emanuel Makes j
Report on ARC
Swimming Class
Final report on swimming class
es just completed at Mr. Joe Tip
pett’s Pool in Zebulon were re
leased by the Wake County Red
Cross Tuesday. The course was
begun on July 24, and classes
were held daily Monday through
Friday, August 4th.
Top enrollment was listed at
thirty-four children, but average
attendance was considerably under
that figure. Red Cross officials
cited the heavy tobacco activities
at this time of year as the proba
ble cause of the light attendance.
This is the first swimming class
held exclusively for the Zebulon
area.
I’raises Tippett
Zebulon persons are fortunate
in having such a satisfactory
swimming area so close at hand,
Red Cross Water Safety Direc-!
tor Robert L. Emanuel stated, as
compared with the grossly inade- j
quate swimming facilities of many
rural communities.
“The course recently complet-1
ed was made possible through i
the cooperation of Mr. Lee Rhodes, i
Zebulon Recreation Director, and j
Messrs. Ferd and Barrie Davis, i
who furnished free transportation j
for the children to and from the j
classes,” Mr. Emanuel said.
Successful Students
The following students success- j
fully completed the Beginner’s
test: David Alford, Kenneth Ed
dins, Leary Davis, Jay Godwin,
and Armenia Hocutt, all of Zebu
lon. Completion of the Interme
diate Swimming Tests was inter
rupted by inclement weather the
last day of the course.
Red Cross officials stated that
efforts would be made to schedule
a similar course again next year,
but that it would be earlier in
the season so as to avoid conflict
with agricultural activities. As
sisting in teaching these classes
were: Ann Brigman, Grace Doar,
Mrs. Trudy Lindsay, Wade Coop
er, Tommy Womble, Bill Crisp,
and David Stephenson.

Soil Conservation
Steps Are Taken
By G. L. Winchester
and S. W. Holloman
Many farmers are now making
preparations for seeding pastures
this fall. H. M. Olive of New Hill,
H. D. Copeland of Morrisville, Kidd
Brewer of Raleigh, Clyde Garner
of Garner, and many others have
already spread lime on land to go
in the pasture following the rec
ommendations of the Soil Testing
Division of tlm N. C. Department
of Agriculture. They will also
follow their recommendations for
the amounts and kind of fertilizer
to use.
Joe Bell of the Bethany Church
Community is now making plans
for seeding five meadows. Ru
dolph Robertson of the same com
munity is sowing nine meadows
to tall fescue and ladino clover.
Lime is being applied at the pres
ent as this mixture responds to
the use of lime.
L. O. Page at the State Hospit
al is baling sericea lespedeza hay
this week. This hay was cut, and
windrowed the same day. and bal
ed the third day with a pickup
baler. It was good hay. It was
green and had retained most of its
leaves. This is a hay crop that
should not be overlooked in beef
cattle production It is growing,
and will grow, on thin, poor, or
sandy soils.
RUTH CURRENT:
Hints for Farm Homes
It isn’t necessary to iron every
thing. In many homes, especially
during the busy season, the iron
ing of sheets, dish towels and much
underwear and children’s clothing
is considered quite unnecessary.
Thorough drying and careful fold
ing is all that’s needed.
Laundry Basket Buying: You
can save yourself much future
ironing by wise buying of gar
ments and household textiles.
Choose such fabrics as jersey,
seersucker and corduroy for chil
dren’s clothes. When nylon fits
the purpose, be sure to choose it.
Nylon is used for many things be
sides hosiery and women’s under
wear now children’s rompers

Zebulon National
Guard Battery
To Go to Bragg
Plans are being made for Bat
tery A, 113 Field Artillery Bat
talion, to spend a weekend at Fort
Bragg in late September or early
October, Capt. Barrie Davis said
yesterday. The entire battery will
leave on a Saturday morning and
return Sunday afternoon, if the
plans receive the approval of Fort
Bragg officials.
The purpose of the trip will be
to give the men in the battery
additional training in actual firing
practice.
The artillery ranges at Fort
Bragg are much superior to those
at Ft. Jackson, S. C., where the
cannoneers were never able to
see their rounds hit in the target
area. At Fort Bragg, the target
lange will be about 2,500 yards
and the men will see every rr und
burst.
Lt. William Griffin of Head
quarters Battery is assisting in
the training of a Fire Direction
Center for the local unit. The men
who compose this section will com
pute the firing data for the guns.
Pfc. Jimmy Greene and Pfc. Rob
ert Privette are studying the du
ties of the FDC personnel.
Battery A has 50 enlisted men,
according to WO Clifford Gil
liam. A few more men will be re
cruited, he said, but lack of uni
forms and armory storage space
will limit the strength of the bat
tery to less than 60 men.
Col. Charles Elliott and Major
Arthur Ball attended drill with
the battery on Monday night. Ma
jor Ball is succeeding Col. Elliott
as Regular Army Instructor for
the 113th FA Battalion. He is
working with Capt Davis on prep
arations for the Fort Bragg trip.
Funeral Services Held
For Mrs. Mary Reaves
Funeral services for Mrs. Mary
Eason Reaves, 50, of Selma, who
died in Woodard Herring Hospit
al in Wilson Sunday afternoon,
were held Thursday at 3:30 p.
m., from the Free Will Baptist
Church at Selma, conducted by
the Rev. Oscar Jones, assisted by
the Rev. Wiley Ferrell. Interment
was in Branch Chapel Church
Cemetery on Selma, Route 1.
Surviving are her husband,
Jesse M. Reaves; two sons, Odell
Reaves of Ellis, Kansas and Mal
colm S. Reaves of the home; two
sisters, Mrs. C. P. Godwin of Lu
cama, and Mrs. W. Eatmon of Zeb
ulon; one brother, Clarence Eason
of Portsmouth, Va.
and men’s shirts, among others.
It’s worth the extra cost.
Good Equipment Helps: In
ironing, as in most other jobs re
quiring skill, it’s hard to do a
good job quickly and easily un
less you have good equipment to
help you out. A good iron, iron
ing board and high chair will pay
for themselves over the years in
terms of the time and energy sav
ed. Give sit-down ironing a fair
trial. Sitting down to iron cuts
down fatigue more than you’d
think. Thousands of women have
taught themsc’-'es to iron sitting
down and like it so why can’t
you? Your own bad habits can
