THE ZEBULON RECORD Volume XXVI. Number 1 TRAILWAYS BUS KNOCKS DOWN TREES | ' -*g* ' - %** ' / m WMM Jk yg|f gjL jdt* m aftiMfl K ig&j jrejgfc. In case there are any readers of the Record who still do not know what happened to those two beautiful maples in front of the A. C. Dawson residence, the picture above will be worth the proverbial 1,000 words. After colliding with a Ford automobile at the corner of Church Street and Gannon Avenue, the bus came to rest in front of the site of the new Elwood Perry residence, after uprooting two trees. No one was hurt seriously, not even the Record photographer who took this picture (the bus driver threatened the photographer with bodily harm and a lawsuit if we ran this picture—of course we are simply scared to death). SCAPITAL REPORTER You probably heard about Gov ernor Scott recently fulfilling a childhood dream when he bought a bunch of Shetland ponies. They ’re down at his Haw River farm and he’s planning to raise them. One little nine-year-old girl Gwendolyn Burgess of Bailey heard about it, too. Last week she wrote the governor and wanted to know how long it would take her Pilot Garners Softball Title Saturday Night Pilot’s Open League champions could manage only two hits off Pitcher Hardy West of Durham’s champion Ingold Tire Company team in the Lions Club tourna ment finals Saturday night, but they coupled some fancy base running with Durham errors to win a 4-0 victory. Pitcher Russ Deßerry allowed 4 hits in pitching the win. In the consolation game between North Carolina Equipment Com pany and Glory, Hubert Rouse pitched the Raleigh entry to third place in the tournament, defeat ing Glory and Harold Green by a 3-1 score. Pilot reached the finals by beat ing the equipment concern’s team Friday night by a 4-1 score, and Ingold beat Pitcher Charlie Har rell and Raleigh’s champion Na val Reserve team, 2-0, the same night. RUTH CURRENT: Farm Home Hints What to do with a leftover glove when its mate is lost or a lone stocking or sock after the other have been ruined by a run or tear, or even a solitary over shoe? Don’t throw these things away. Clothing specialists suggest that they may be used to save money and clothes. The price of clothes is up. Good leather from a stray glove is useful in trimming or strength ening children’s winter mittens or to buy a pony from him at the rate of 90c a week. She said she got a dollar a week allowance, but gave a tenth of it to her church so 90c a week was all she could spare. “I thought,” she wrote, “by the time you had some ponies to sell, I might have enough money saved up to get one.” The governor was out of town, but the pony-cost question was waiting his return. • North Carolina’s building pro gram might take a turn for the worse. Six month’s ago the Gov ernor told the boys to go ahead and let their contracts so they could get on with the building. Being human, they put it off for a while nobody else foresaw (Continued on Page 4) Schools Open Nearby Mrs. Harold Pippin is again a member of the high school faculty in Middlesex school. Mrs. B. H. Johnson is there again as fourth grade teacher and Mrs. Haywood Jones has begun her work as teach er of home economics.

G. Terry and An dy Jenkins. gloves as well as for elbow patches on jackets and play coats. It may bind edges of sleeves or jackets that get hard wear. Bits of good leather may cover buttons for sports clothes. The leftover stocking or sock needn’t go to waste. Yam from it may come in very handy for mend ing. Ravel the yarn and wind on spools for the meding basket. A good piece of rubber fabric is needed to patch a child’s over shoe and a stray can provide it. Zebulon, N.

DAVIS: This, That & the Other A story is told of a nurse who, typing a doctor’s reports, came to one which said the patient was shot in the lumbar region. She tried to make it easier to under stand by changing it to “shot in the woods.” There are instances where it might mean shot in the head. • When I was in Washington state it sounded odd to hear the abbre viation for poliomyelitis pronounc ed polly-o instead <>f poley-o as we say it here; but the dictionary says the westerners were right. However, you just say polly-o and Theo. Davis Sons, Publishers Soil Conservation Workers Describe Land Class Uses G. L. Winchester S. W. Holleman John Seeley of Knightdale says contour cultivation pays big divi dends on tobacco. John was as sisted by H. M. Croom, GI in structor at Knightdale High School, and the Soil Conservation Service personnel. He not only had contour cultivation but the field was reinforced with a strip of small grain and lespedeza. John will construct one other meadow this fall, terrace and cultivate on the contour next year. Conservation Help Millard Ferrell, a GI student at Green Hope High School, bought a farm last year. He asked the Soil Conservation Service for as sistance in planning a conservation program on his farm. Millard has some very good tobacco land. Most of the land to be grown in tobacco is class two land. Either a rotation of (1) tobacco, (2) small grain (grass) or (1) to bacco, (2) small grain (lespedeza and grass), (3) lespedeza and grass, and (4) corn (cover crops), will be satisfactory. Meadows are to be established, terraces will be constructed, and contour cultiva tion will be practiced. This should reduce erosion, conserve moisture, increase the water hold ing capacity of the soil, and im prive the productivity of the soil. Mr. Ferrell plans to sow two acres of pasture this fall on some class three land and also class four land. The class three land may be cultivated but he says he needs the pasture and he is of the opinion it will give him more feed in pasture than in field crops. Mow Those Weeds Many farmers are doing a job that will pay big returns. This job is mowing weeds in pasture. Mowing at this time will prevent the weed from maturing seed and in many instances will kill the plant itself. These weeds com pete with the grasses and clovers for much needed moisture. Far mers, then, are mowing weeds to conserve moisture for pasture plants. Minister of Music Here Miss Betty Salmon has come from Pennsylvania to begin her work at Wakelon School and as minister of music in the Baptist Church. A graduate of Westmin ster Choir College, Miss Salmon will teach piano and organ in ad dition to her other work. Her parents were here with her for the weekend. , watch the faces of your hearers.
