THE ZEBULON RECORD Volume XXVI. Number 85. R. I. P. By V. I. P. MS. IM PIECES IF you WALK ON THE WRONG S4PE OF THE HIGHWAY AT NIGHT Wake County Farm Agent Advises Readers on Heat Exhaustion Care High temperatures and the sum mer rush of farm work make it easy to be overcome by heat ill ness, cautions Grady Miller, coun ty farm agent for the State Col- I lege Extension Service. Sunstroke, explains the agent, follows prolonged exposure to the sun, while heatstroke is caused by; excessive heat with or without exposure to the sun. The effects are the same and either may be fatal. The symptoms are hot and dry skin, face red and flushed, breath ing hard and loud, and pupils en larged. Unconsciousness may fol- I low in severe cases. No Stimulants Prevention is better than cure, says the county agent, but you should know what to do if heat illness does occur. Here is what the National Safety Council sug gests for sunstroke or heatstroke: Move to a cool, shady place, strip to the underclothes, lay patient on back with head and shoulders rais- j ed. Apply ice or cold wet cloth to head, cool the body gradually with Wakefield Still Leading League Wakefield’s league-leading soft ball team, which had not lost a ball game all year, met the cellar dwelling National Guard nine, who had not won a game all year, and the league leaders came off second best, dropping a close 10-8 game ! to the Guardsmen. Baxter Hop kins, third baseman, led the win- 1 ners at bat and afield. Manager ! Dexter Stell led Wakefield at bat. In the game played Friday night prior to the Wakefield-Guard play the Zebulon Teen-Agers, managed by Leonard Lewis, played a 15-15 tie with the Zebulon All-Stars, J managed by Clayton Whitley. The free-hitting contest had time call- ■ ed at the end of the regulation dis- ; tance with the score tied. Weekly Schedule Tonight the undefeated Wake field Teen-Agers meet the Zebulon ' Teen-Agers in the opening game, cool bath or with a hose or wet the clothes and rub the limbs to ward the heart. After treating for several min utes, stop and observe patient. If skin becomes hot again, resume treatment. Things to Do If patient is unconscious, give him cool (but not iced-cold) drinks. Do not give stimulants. Get the patient to a doctor or a hospital as soon as possible. Con tinue the treatment in the ambu lance. To avoid confusion, remember this rule: If the patient is cold, make him warm; if he’s hot, make him cool. On Georgia Market Mr. and Mrs. C. G.

Davis Sons, Publishers War on Rodents To Be Conducted By Health Officers An intensive campaign to rid Zebulon of rats and mice will be 1 conducted by the Wake County Health Department, beginning with a survey of all homes and busi nesses this week to determine the infestation of the premises by ro dents. Poison to be used against the rats and mice will be Warfar in, a new and powerful rodent kill er. Making the survey this week are Alec Wilson and Clyde Bryan. They will interview home and busi ness owners as to the nnmber of rats and mice on the premises, source of water supply, and sew age disposal. According to H. E. Woodard of the County Health Department, the health department is interested in rodent control because of the di sease germs carried by rats and mice. Warfarin, also known as Com pound No. 42, provides a new and workable approach to rodent con trol and possible extermination of rodents in farm communities and farm homes. It can be obtained from the Wake County Health De partment at 20c per pound. Get it Cheaper Warfarin poison is being sold on a well-known radio program un mixed for $2.98. When directions are followed, five pounds of poi soned mixture can be made at a cost of approximately $5.00. Mr. Woodard emphasized that this ! same amount of the identical poi son can be bought ready-mixed from the Health Department for SI.OO. The Health Department recom mends one pound of warfarin mix for home and two pounds or more for farms. ' A sheet of instructions is given to home owners by the two inter viewers as they make the calls this week. When instructions are care fully followed, the Warfarin poi son is sure to kill all rats and mice on the home or farm. Last Rites Are Held For R. L. Strother Raymond L.
