THE ZEBULON RECORD Volume XXVI. Number 71. ANTHRACNOSE BOLL COSTS YOU CASH! EflHB JHkfll .Xv.. . X *EM— |g .'sflpi f - t- 'up «■' If you have had some points taken off by the grader for spotty cotton, you know what anthracnose, or pink boll rot, can cost you as a cotton grower. Anthracnose is a fungus disease and is at its worst in times of heavy rainfall and where cotton grows rank. Clean fall plowing and rotation of your crops, coupled with treatment of your seed with organic mercury dust, will entirely remove the costly disease from this area, however, within a few years. Cost of the mercury dust, says County Agent Grady Miller, is only 10c per acre. For advice and assistance in control of anthracnose in the 1951 cot ton crop, you should contact Mr. Miller. Lfcpmil REPORTER The Governor’s charge that li quor and gambling interests are making inroads into North Caro lina’s political life brought three distinct reactions. 1. Outrage on the part of those who believed he knew what he was talking about. 2. Wonder if it was so from a number of incredulous people. 3. Ridicule from those who eith er don’t want to believe it or are in league with those interests themselves. There was a fourth reaction from a great many people apathy. This was the most dangerous, be cause it is a problem that cannot be ignored or regarded with a “so what” attitude. Kefauver Report Some folks professed the thought that Kerr Scott was merely jump ing on the bandwagon of reaction to the Kefauver report, exposing connections between crime and politics throughout the nation. They seemed to think that the Governor was speaking with no foundation of fact* How can anyone who watched the 1951 Legislature in action fail to see the direct connection be tween gambling, the liquor indus try and politics here in North Car olina? Zebulon American Legion Auxiliary To Sell Poppies Here on Saturday The American Legion Auxiliary anticipates the largest Poppy Sale in its history on Saturday, May 26th, and soi 4 the first time, the Town of Zebulon will be “covered” with Poppies, sold by the enthusi astic members of its new Ameri can Legion Auxiliary Unit, of which Mirs Beth Massey is President. An organization meeting was recently held at the Massey home at which time plans were laid for the Poppy Day activities. Present were the President, Mrs. Pete Bryant, Mrs. Pat Farmer, Serge ant-at-Arms, Mrs. Sidney Holmes, Historian, and Mrs. Ralph Bunn. Visitors included Commander Ralph Bunn of The American Le gion, Mr. Charles Hawkins, Mrs. The two dog-racing tracks in our state are hooked in directly with racing and gambling syndicates throughout the nation. Yet two bills seeking to outlaw them were killed in a stacked committee. Every attempt to add taxes to liquor, or to strengthen enforce ment of liquor control was beaten down by this same committee which asked beer and liquor lob byists how to vote. Liquor Lobbyist The top liquor lobbyist al legedly representing some State agencies but actually receiving fat fees from liquor distillers open ly boasted that he had the so called leadership of the House “in the palm of my hand.” And you generally had to call the likker boy’s room tb find some of the Legislature’s top brass when the General Assembly wasn’t actually in session. One of the most recently men tioned potential candidates for governor in 1952 is under the dom ination of this same kingbee of the likker lobbyists. Just add it up youreelf. Anyway you figure it, likker and gambling interests have their insidious fin gers in the Tar Heel political pie. For some reason, North Caro (Continued on Page 4) Joe Wall and Mrs. E. C. Murphy, of Raleigh, members of the State Executive Board of the Auxiliary. In order to raise funds for its welfare and rehabilitation work among veterans and their families, it was decided to have the Poppy Sale, the receipts of which go in their entirely to welfare work. The idea of the Poppy as a flow er of memory for war dead, sprang up as naturally as did the little flower itself in the fields of Flan ders. Over the fresh graves of our battle dead it bloomed in profu sion, and the soldiers of all na tions came to look upon it as the living symbol of immortality and the sacrifice of their dead com rades. (Continued on Page 4) Zebulon, N.

Farm Home Hints By Ruth Current Washing painted woodwork generally is scheduled for spring cleaning time. To protect and save the paint, home management spec ialists offer several suggestions: Any paint can be damaged by strongly alkaline soap or other cleaners, abrasive powder and nibbing. Coarse scouring powder and strong cleaners remove or roughen the smooth outer sur face of the paint so that it soils faster and is more difficult to clean. Strong alkali can weaken and also discolor paint. It is wise to try out any new cleaning prepa ration on an inconspicious part of the paint first, carefully following directions that come with it as to how much and how to use. A mild neutral soap is satisfac tory for washing paint. If scouring is necessary, finely powdered whiting is suggested because it is one of the finest abrasives and is Theo.

In washing paint, it is import ant to wash only a small area at a time and rinse carefully before moving on to another area. Even a mild soap contains some alkali that will eventually injure paint if left on it. Directions for some commercial paint cleaning prepa rations suggest that no rinsing is needed. Yet many are highly alka line and will damage the surface if left on. Some cleaning solutions make the paint soft while it is wet and then rubbing can damage it. With such cleaners there may be less damage from leaving a very little cleaner on the surface than from rubbing while rinsing. Some of the new detergents, like soap, are alkaline; others are slightly acid or neutral. They are satisfactory for washing painted surfaces in the kitchen or wher ever a greasy film has formed.
