Now, the ABC investigators can go only into those counties having legal sale of liquor or beer and wine. The measure would have the effect of setting up a state-wide unit similar to the Federal gov- j ernment’s Alcohol Tax Unit, which is the scourge of white li quor makers. Much has been said about lax- I ity of law enforcement in so-call ed dry counties. In many of them j you can buy liquor easier and 1 cheaper than you can in those j counties having state ABC stores, j Public apathy, indifferent law of ficers, and in some instances pay offs are responsible. This bill would give ABC offi cers the right to go into any coun ty in the State to make investiga tions and arrests of bootleggers and J other violators of the liquor, beer j and wine laws. Its backers claim j it would increase enforcement of 1 the laws immeasurably and cut down bootlegging to a minimum. Ironically, opposition is expect ed from the drys who yell for a state liquor vote but in many instances don’t bother to try to enforce the prohibition laws in their own dry counties. • Incidentally, the Allied Church League has declared war come Cpl. Royce Hood Is In Ft. Bragg Hospital Cpl. Royce Hood, son of Mr. and Mrs. Morris Hood, is now in the station hospital at Ft. Bragg, where he arrived Saturday after a long trip from Korea, where he was twice wounded. He reports that he is improving and expects to visit home in a few days. His address is: Cpl. John R. Hood, RA 14 281,874, Station Hos pital No. 2, Ward 56, Ft. Bragg, N. C. Wakelon Girls Capture Loop Lead With Thrilling Victory over Wendell The Wakelonettes captured the lead in the East Wake County Conference by earning a hard fought victory from Wendell after a thrilling last-period rally. The 41-39 triumph evened the Wakelon Conference record against their arch-rivals. Wendell took an early season Conference contest. Jo Gill and Rose Pace led the Wakelon attack with 14 and 12 points, Rebecca Sue Nowell led the losers with 11 points. In the nightcap, the Bulldogs took an overtime contest from the 1952 —on all legislators who aren’t militant drys. This organi zation does not approve the pres ent bill before the legislature, which would call for a vote on an all-wet or an all-dry State. It j will draw up one more to its own liking and seek some legislator to introduce it. Such a bill would call for an all-dry or an “as is” state — the Allied Church League being afraid to take a chance on a real! test of wet and dry strength. Their j attitude is “we want you to quit ; selling liquor but we don’t want to take the remote gamble that you might win and be able to sell your hooch in our territory.” And ! they claim such a vote should be taken in the name of democracy! This corner believes the State would go dry if a referendum were to be held, but the question should be honestly answered and not on a half-way basis.

Don't miss it! —Rodney McNabb Rotarians Give Views On Building Location The location of the proposed municipal building for the Town of Zebulon occupied much of the time at the regular weekly meet ing of the Zebulon Rotary Club, and nearly every member of the group was given an opportunity to state their viewpoint by forum di rector Vance Brown. Consensus of the meeting was that: 1) Vance Street is the logi cal choice for the building; 2) the lot should be large enough for future additions to the building; and 3) cost should not enter into the choice of the proper location. Vance, a member of the Zebu lon Board of Commissioners who had been strong in favor of the location behind the Peoples Bank & Trust Company, requested Edi tor Barrie Davis to make sure the report of the meeting was includ ed in the Zebulon Record.

State College de clare in a new circular issued this j week. The publication, “Farming Op- j portunities in North Carolina,” is designed to describe briefly the; agricultural resources of the State, indicate some of the major changes occurring which many influence agricultural opportunities in the future, and discuss some of the more important factors to be con sidered in selection of a farm. The authors are Walter H.. Pierce, associate professor of ag- 5 ♦ricultural economics; Moyle S. Williams, farm management spec ialist; and W. D. Lee, associate professor of agronomy. Their 40- page publication replaces a previ ous circular on “Selecting a Farm in North Carolina.” i Pierce, Williams, and Lee assert that North Carolina is at the thres hold of a new era in agricultural development, with technological progress and economic develop ments providing both the neces sity and the opportunity for sig nificant changes in the State’s farming system. The authors point out that the Tar Heel climate, though varied, is characterized by a long grow ing season, abundant rainfall, and (Continued on Page 4) Middlesex Church Is Burned on Sunday The Methodist Church at Mid -1 dlesex was destroyed by fire Sun day morning.
