THE ZEBULON RECORD Volume XXVI. Number 20 HEIDT STEPPERS IN RALEIGH SOON gtr- itjt 4IUR' • ’WjfimsgK JJMi. Tv ,' teffiSirtSf? i K * r V- nFMir **3mßH* 3 Shov n above are the Heidt Steppers, a quintet of dancers who will appear in the Horace Heidt variety show at the Reynolds Colleseum in Thursday night, December 7. REPORTER Ralph Fisher, Transylvania County Republican who tells some of power in strictly pro- and anti will be back in the Legislature come January 1951 He’s gunning for leadership of the minority par ty, too. If he wins, that could mean that he’ll hold the balance of power in strictly prr- and anti administration legislative snarls. • There’s a rumor around that Frank Taylor of Wayne has the House speakership “in the bag.” Opponent Fred Royster, Vance county tobacconist, reportedly plans to hit the road in the west to see what gives. One so-called political expert observed the other day that “if Fred finds out what they think of him in the west, he won’t even let his name be men tioned at the (Democratic) cau cus.” I dunno. Out of some 108 Democrats, each side is claiming more than enough to win. Could be this is a nice spot for a dark horse. From Washington, via pony ex press: Britain probably will request Uncle Sam to waive first payments on the 1945 loan from the U. S. due at the end of 1951. Seems to us we’ve heard that song before— say back in the “20’s.” Wonder what would happen if “Unc” got tough, for a change. Report that Capus Waynick is fighting with Willard Thorp, assist ant secretary of state for econom ic affairs, over who’ll have the say on Point Four. Add to that 0 State Prison Official Gives Reply To Story Written by Summers The Editor The Zebulon Record The November 3 issue of THE ZEBULON RECORD carried an article by Mr. Scott Summers in regard to purchases of drugs for our Prison Department. It was my thought that you might be in terested in some facts about our purchases and the methods under which we operate. Since July 1, 1950, we have purchased a total of $5,421.90 in drug supplies for our Drug Labo ratory, all of which has been handled on a bid basis through President Truman’s “appointment” —later changed to a “high pose in” —of Nelson Rockefeller as Point Four director, and you have quite a mess. Out of the fuss, Washington grapevine says, is like to come a snatch of Point Four from the State Department, lateral-passing it to a merger with a reorganized ECA after the current Marshall Plan expires in 1952. • North Carolinians like to see their sons stay home and succeed. But sometimes, I think, they like to see their sons go out and make good in other corners of the land— just to prove that it can be done, if for no other reason. Well, a Louisburg native is do ing all right out Kansan way. He’s (Continued on Page 5) Supper to Be Tonight By Wakefield Baptists The Wakefipld Baptist Church will serve a turkey supper tonight from 5:00 to 8:30 in the Wakelon School cafeteria. Proceeds from the supper will be added to the church building fund.

Dinners taken out will not in clude any drink and will contain light bread instead of hot biscuits. Price of the supper is $1.25 per plate. the Division of Purchase and Con tract. There have been three sep arate requests for bids in that per iod of time, and the business has been awarded to companies in this State and out of the State on the basis of price. During that same period of time, we have purchas ed only a total of $151.75 locally on what is designated as “con firming orders,” this being for items needed in emergencies and purchased locally by our Pharma cist, after which a confirming purchase order is written. (Continued on Page 5) Zebulon, N. C., Friday, November 17, 1950 Horace Heidt to Appear In NC State Colleseum Thursday Night, Dec. 7 Horace Heid will bring his all new musical variety show to Wil liam Neal Reynolds Coliseum at N. C. State College on Thursday, December 7. The new revue will feature 60 stars, young people whom Heidt has discovered on tour throughout the nation, including many who have been heard and seen on his weekly radio and television pro grams. Local aspirants to fame are be ing auditioned and some of them may be given a chance to perform on the Youth Opportunity Pro gram which appears in six or sev en cities each week. After 30 years in show business, there is no name more entitled to respect than that of Horace HediJ, who has made his reputation and his career by building other peo ple to stardom. When Horace Heidt moves through the United States with his musical revue, “Stars on Parade,” and his radio show, the Original Youth Opportunity Program for Philip Morris, the mechanics in volved make a complex military operation look simple. But every thing is so carefully organized be fore the troupe leaves the Heidt ranch in Van Nuys that it moves like the traditional well-oiled clock. The personnel consists of Mr. (Continued on Page 5) Funeral Services Held For Middlesex Woman Mrs. Leamon Watson, 36, died of a heart attack early Wednesday morning at the home of her bro ther, James Wilson, in Middlesex.

County Red Cross Makes Appeal For Blood to Save Lives of Two There are two certified needy Wake County people who are in the hospital in dire need of blood to save their lives Your Red Cross has assumed the responsibility of getting blood for these people. One patient who is constantly bleeding needs at least 20 pints, the other whose doctor says she needs at least 22 pints. This makes a to tal of 48 pints of blood which must be supplied immediately. Your county has no free blood center, or donor registry, private solicita tion is the only means of obtaining this blood. Theo. Davis Sons, Publishers Conservation Practices Result in Big Savings To Wake County Farmers G. L. Winchester S. W. Holleman O. R. Whitley of the Knightdale Community signed a soil conser vation plan with the Neuse River Soil Conservation District in Oc tober. He has already sown a meadow in oats to be followed with lespedeza in the spring. Lime will be applied in the spring, followed in the fall with a mixture of al falfa and orchard grass. Mr. Whitley has a very good growth of pines that needs some thinning. He will systematically thin this stand using the wood taken out for fence posts and fuel. Many of the 5 to 8 inch trees which have practically stopped growing due to overcrowding by larger trees will make four to five seven foot posts. Many of these trees would die within the next five to ten years. • Other farmers signing conserva tion farm plans during the month of October were L. C. Liles, Jr., Knightdale; W. G. Wester, Mill brook; and W. G. Horton, Knight dale. • J. G. Olive seeded Kentucky-31 tall fescue in his wheat last fall. He harvested 35 bushels of wheat per acre and now has almost a perfect stand of tall fescue ranging from 8 to 12 inches in height. He will use this field for grazing his herd and angus cattle during the winter months.
