THE ZEBULON RECORD Volume XXVI. Number 16 GIRL SCOUT WEEK ii»k lJ& , iiiii^iir ? ii ßß^^^i rrwo|Aif £ a mm*.. Til. 1111. l mMM'i>M S..UI hlil.IT—TO.. Illhh • million and a half girls and adult advisers—will celebrate Girl Scout Week Oct. 29-Nov. 4. The Week is made up of Seven Service ways: Girl Scout Sunday; Homemaking Day (Monday), Citizen ship Day (Tuesday), Health and Safety Day (Wednesday), Inter national Friendship Day (Thursday), Arts and Crafts Day (Fri day), Out-of-Doors Days (Saturday). REPORTER Slickest maneuver of the week was by Conservation and Develop ment Board Members Eric Rodgers of Scotland Neck and Roy Hamp ton of Plymouth. At the C&D meeting in Charlotte, they rail roaded a resolution through fav oring erection of a dam on the Roa noke River by the Virginia Elec tric and Power Company instead of by the government. The coup was staged in the last five minutes of the four-day ses sion. VEPCO showed no interest in building the dam at Roanoke Rap ids until the federal government had built the Buggs Island dam, which regulates the flow of the water at Roanoke Rapids and makes the new dam possible. The federal government has plans for a dam there, too, and the Federal Power Commission has held extensive hearings on whether the dam should be built by private enterprise or federal funds. Ignoring the private-public power fight, you would think that the North Carolina C&D board would not want an out-of-state firm to move into North Carolina. CONSERVATION NOTES Saving on Alfalfa G. L. Winchester S. W. Holleman Due to the inclement weather and the rush of farm work, Wood row Smith of Bethlehem Church Community failed to cut his three acres of alfalfa late in July. He was determined not to lose entirely on the deal so when the seed had matured, he cut it, allowed it to dry, windrowed it, and then com bined it by picking it up with the combine from the windrows. He harvested 143 lbs. of clean seed from the three acres. These seed ■were used to sow additional acre age. He now has a perfect stand on this critical slope. Woodrow sowed this steep slope because it was difficult to cultivate in row crops without losing large amounts of topsoil. He is practicing good land use by sowing it to a soil conserving crop that will produce a large amount of good hay to be used for cattle on his farm. If private power is to build the dam, it looks as though Carolina Power and Light Company or Duke would be the logical outfits to dam the site. All of which makes the last-min ute move by Rodgers and Hampton take on new significance. They simply are siding with the private power companies in their run ning fight with Governor Scott. At the Charlotte C&D meeting, interior Department officials charged that there is not ample power and that public power de velopment is necessary in our ex panding economy and war effort. Hampton, presiding over the meeting, called for questions or statements by private power rep resentatives headed by Louis Sutton, CP&L prexy. They said nothing at the public meeting. But immediately afterward, Sut ton held a press conference, where his statements could not be chal lenged, and reiterated his state ment that there is plenty of pow er and that private companies are doing a fine job. CP&L. incidentally, has been putting on quite an advertising (Continued on Page 2) Several farmers in the county are sowing tall fescue (Ky. 31) with their grain in a tobacco rota tion. This grass should improve the physical condition of the soil by increasing its organic content. It should be very effective on soils inclined to be heavy or fine tex tured soils. The following farm ! ers are sowing tall fescue in a rotation this year: Joe Tippett of Zebulon; L. C. Liles, Jr., of Knightdale; M. M. Ferrell of Mor risville; Exum Hare of Holly Springs; and A C. Meadows of Garner. A two-year rotation of (1) tobacco and (2) small grain (tall fescue) will be followed. The tall fescue is being sown with the grain and will grow after the grain is harvested. It may be grazed during the summer and fall. It will be turned for tobacco the follow ing year. On steeper land the tall fescue may be allowed to grow the second year, making it a three [year rotation. Zebulon, N.

Davis Sons, Publishers Approval Recommended By Democratic Leader For Five Amendments Approval of the five proposed Constitutional Amendments which will be voted on next Tuesday, No vember 7th, is urged by Robert R. Williams of Asheville. President of the Young Democratic Clubs of North Carolina who said that the amendments had been carefully studied by officers of his organi zation, and that the State Conven tion held recently in Asheville had endorsed all five of them. A com mittee led by James B. Garland of Gastonia has been hard at work spreading information concerning the amendments and urging their adoption. Mr. Williams was joined in his statement here today by Everett Jordan, Chairman of the State Democratic Executive Committee, who likewise urged that all five amendments be approved. Both agreed that the amendments are in the interest of sound, progres sive government in North Caroli na. Three of the five amendments are intended, their joint state ment said, to bring the Judicial (System of North Carolina out of the “horse and buggy stage,” so as to meet present day require ments. One of these will give an accused person the right to waive indictment in all charges except capital cases which in effect speeds up court procedure and removes the possibility in many cases of an accused person being held in jail pending action by the Grand Jury. Another of the amendments would provide for the election of more than one Judge of the Su perior Court in a Judicial District, this having for its purpose the proper handling of the work of the courts. The third amendment would transfer from the Governor to the Chief Justice of the Superior Court the authority to assign judges of the Superior Court Judges. The fourth amendment has for its purpose the safeguarding of the funds of the Teachers and State Employees’.
