Reo has been awarded contracts for approximately 8,900 of them at a cost of about $55,000,000. In the picture, the “Eager Beaver” is shown “cruising” in Chesapeake Bay, Maryland. REPORTER iiMMwm.. Willis Smith, U. S. Senator nominate, has resigned as head of the Kerr Scott-appointed commit tee to study the impartial admin istration of justice. In his resignation, Smith said he was quitting because he expects to be busy, but added a barb at Scott. Smith said the committee had not been able to operate be cause of lack of funds. The committee’s secretary, Al lan Langston of Raleigh, denied this, saying that the chairman (Smith) had kept the committee from working. The governor’s office said the committee never was supposed to have any appropriation; that it’s members were appointed because they were believed to be “public spirited citizens” who could as EXTENSION SERVICE New Farm Questions I’ve tried everything in the book to control bean beetles, but with no luck. What do you suggest? Very likely, your trouble is not what you use but how you use it. Rotenone gives excellent control of the pest if you get good cover age. The most common reason for poor control is failure to put the insecticide on the underside of the leaves where both adult beetles and larvae do most of their feed ing. Dusts rebound off the ground and often give better coverage than do sprays. Another reason for failure is rainy weather that keeps the material washed off the plants. ford to come to Raleigh and make the study at their own expense. The governor’s office compared it with the Advisory Committee on Highway Safety, all of whose members are meeting and travel ing at their ov/n expense to try to do something about the highway death toll. This last committee has no appropriation either. The Justice Committee held only one meeting. That was for organizational purposes on Feb ruary 10. It has done nothing since. • Incidentally, a rumor keeps popping up here that Charley Johnson is aiming to run again for governor in 1952. The ex-state treasurer who got his lumps from (Continued on Page 6) I plan to seed Ladino clover pasture on a field that was in crimson clover last winter. Will I have to inoculate the Ladino seed before I plant, or will there be enough bacteria already in the soil? It’s always a good idea to ino culate the Ladino seed before planting. Ladino and crimson clover happen to be in the same inoculation group, but there’s no use taking a chance when the inoculation costs so little and takes so little time. Poor inoculation is one of the main reasons for pas ture failures in North Carolina. A poorly inoculated legume is stunted and lighter in color. Zebulon, N.

Four Wake Road Lettings Planned Four new road projects will get under way shortly in Wake Coun ty, the State Highway Commission announced today. The projects will be let to contract on August 29 and 31. One project on US 64 calls for the widening of bridges over Crabtree Creek and Neuse River and the rebuilding of a bridge over Buffalo Creek between Wendell and Raleigh. A second project involves the paving of 7.544 miles from the in tersection of US 1 and US 1-A in Raleigh to the intersection of US 1 and NC 59 and from NC 264 in Wake Forest to NC 98. A third calls tor a bridge over the Durham and Southern Rail road at Carpenter. The fourth project, part of the $200,000,000 secondary road program, involves the hard-surfacing of 24.4 miles from Newhill to Holly Springs via Holloman’s Crossroad, from Holly Springs, west to Apex Road, from NC 42 north to Cherry’s Store on the Fayetteville Road, from Cary to Apex (Macedonia Road). More road projects are under construction at the present time than at any similar time in the Highway Commission’s history, according to Highway Chairman Henry W. Jordan. “If weather conditions continue to be good, 1950 will be North Carolina’s greatest year of roadbuilding,” Dr. | Jordan said. MRS. THEO. B. DAVIS: This, That, & the Other Among the many *’CX stores in this section Zebulon’s ranks well. Yet I find myself wishing we had also an FSX —Feed Sack Ex change. We who buy poultry or other feed in small lots seldom secure enough sacks of one pat tern to make anything but aprons for ourselves or playsuits for small children. Right now I have on hand two sacks each of three different patterns. One more of either kind and I’d have material for a dress; but I can’t find out who bought the other feed put up Theo. Davis Sons, Publishers Zebulon Building Activity Continues At Strong Pitch Shortages and the possibility of war have not slowed building in Zebulon to any visible degree. One business building and five homes were in the process of Construc tion in Zebulon this week, and lit tle prospects were seen that there will be an early slackening of the pace. Home Builders Corporation was pushing Ed Hales’ building across from City Market on Arendell Avenue to completion. The build ing has a large store space in front, with plate glass windows and a shelter on each sidewalk. In the rear is a large storage room. John Terry’s new home is going up on N. Arendell Avenue beside Buck Philip’s house. Elwood Perry is building on Gannon Av enue between the A. C. Dawson and H. C. Wade residences, and Ashley Murphy is rushing his home to completion on N. Church Street. Bob Sawyer says that work on his house will go faster if he can locate his stolen automobile. All his tools were locked in the trunk of his car, and he misses them more than the vehicle. On the corner of N. Church and Lee Streets Craven Brown is building a beautiful home which contractor Harry Patton expects to be completed in the fall. Local Club Executives Hold Luncheon Meeting Mrs. A. S. Hinton, president of the Zebulon Woman’s Club, was hostess to the Executive Commit tee at luncheon at her home on Tuesday of this week. Guests were Mesdames E. H. Moser, C. V. Whitley. Irby Gill, Exum Chamb lee, R. H. Brantley, E. C. Daniel and Theo. Davis. Plans for the year’s work, beginning in Sep tember, were outlined and discuss ed with recommendations to be made to the club as a whole for decision.

Tomorrow night at 8 o’clock the | Pilot and Glory teams will meet for the Open League title. in sacks like mine. I’d gladly swap or buy one, two or three of the patterns needed; and, if we had some place of exchange, other women in the same situation might benefit. If interested, please let me know; for any number of ap rons can not quite take the place of a dress. • Before World War II there was a flourishing garden club in our town, federated and everything.
