THE ZEBULON RECORD Volume XXVI. Number 88. HOW HOT IS COMBUSTION?

The apparatus shown measures the temperature of combustion in an engine cylinder through electronic analysis of infra red rays. Just how the model is connected with heat measure ment is left partially to the reader’s imagination by the press agent. So much for that—what we want to know is how the press agent got newspapers to run this picture in proper old Boston!

Zebulon, N. C., Friday, July 20, 1951 North Carolina Man Grows Pines, Making Great "Montey Crop" W. B. Williams of Mountain Park, Surry County, is a man who really appreciates the value of farm woodland. In the past 15 years he has planted 7,000 white pines and 11,000 shortleaf pines, and today he has 15 acres of thriving pine timber, with practi cally every tree living and grow ing. Walter M. Keller, forestry spec ialist for the State College Exten sion Service, says Williams’ inter est in foresstry goes back at least to 1925, when he moved to his farm along the Mitchell River. To obtain the timber needed to con struct a home and outbuildings, he selectively cut his forest land. Today this area is covered with a thriving stand of white pines and mixed hardwoods, with some of the pines big enough to make saw logs. Began Work in 1935 In 1935, when Civilian Conser vation Corps boys filled up gullies and planted on his farm, the Sur ly farmer was quick to see the value of this work and has con tinued to set out some trees every year since. Now in his sixties, he is still enthusiastic about setting out seedings. He says that every time he sets an acre of pines, he immediately increases the sale of the land at least sls an acre. Williams has practiced careful woodland management on his farm over the years. He uses about 20 cords of firewood and fluewood every year. He gets this wood by removing dead, diseased, crooked, and “weed” trees from his timber. Any openings he makes are quick ly replanted. By burning brush only on rainy days, he has kept fire out of his woods since 1925. Royal Mills, Textile Union Sign Contract An 11-point agreement that fails to include a no-strike clause or mention of wages has been reached by Royal Cotton Mills of Wake Forest and the CIO Textile Work ers Union of America. Robert Cahoon, TWUA attorney, said a letter written Monday by Howard Parker, union representa tive, advised the management that issues previously agreed upon would serve as a contract. Operations were resumed at Royal Cotton Mills on May 14 fol lowing a drawn-out strike that brought violence and court actions which are still pending.

Eaton of Franklinton, formerly of Zebulon, was valedictorian of the 1951 graduating class of Franklinton High School, achieving an A plus rating in scholarship fo r the four years of high school work. The talented student plans to enter East Carolina College at Greenville this fall.

BUILDING STORE w 'm> mk Thurman Hepler, popular own er of Western Auto Associate Store in Zebulon and active Lion, is busy these hot days superintending construction of his new buuilding across the street from his present store in the Phillips Building. Mayor Worth Hinton Speaks to Local Club On Last Friday Night Mayor Worth Hinton asked for the support of civic clubs for the progress of the Town of Zebulon Friday night, when he told the Zebulon Rotarians of the plans for the next two years for the Town of Zebulon. In describing the goals which he and the Board of Commissioners hope to reach, Hinton quoted his own platform. “If you read the platforms used by myself and the commissioners, you could not tell one from the other,” the Mayor observed. The Mayor lauded the Rotarians for their long record of communi ty leadership. “In my platform,” he said, “I stated that a community needs strong churches and schools. I should have added ‘strong civic clubs’.” Powell Bill Aid With the funds the Town of Zebulon receives as a result of the Powell Bill, the town plans to work out a plan for paving the sidewalks in cooperation with the property owners. The first side walk which should be paved, he said, is the long stretch from the highway intersection at Gannon Avenue to Wakelon School. As part of the planned municipal improvement program, he included the paving of all unpaved streets. The Mayor paid high compli ments to the Board of Commission ers who serve under him, men tioning by name Rotarians Howard Beck, Vance Brown, and Raleigh Alford. The Mayor’s quoting his cam paign platform brought forth the comment that it takes a very brave or very smart politician to publi cize his platform after he is elect ed to office. Baptist Church Lists Services for Sunday The sermon topic for the morn ing worship service at the Zebulon Baptist Church for Sunday, July 22, will be “Christianity and the Secular Mood.” The Youth Choir will sing a special anthem.

Miss Gladys Baker will be guest speak er. Theo. Davis Sons, Publishers W. P. Woodlief Wins Wake County Award For Top Yield of Corn I G. L. Winchester, S. W. Holleman, and John F. Mcßane J W. P. Woodlief of Wake Forest, Route 2, was declared Wake Coun j ty champion corn grower last year after producing 131 bushels -per acre. On a visit to his farm this past week we observed another splendid prospect to surpass his yield of last year. Os course, the rainfall for the remainder of the season will influence the yield. Mr. Woodlief has two adjoining fields both of which were in les pedeza last year. In one of the fields he cut the lespedeza for hay, but in the other turned the lespe deza back into the soil. Corn Does Better The land was prepared and planted at the same time. Mr. Woodlief pointed out that the corn planted on Hie land on which the lespedeza was turned was larger and during the entire season had looked better than that on the field where the lespedeza had ben cut for hay. Mr. Woodlief stated that we could do one thing about these ex tended droughts and that is to get plenty of organic master into the soil since it will hold more moisture to carry the crop through these dry seasons. We believe Mr. Woodlief has something that is basically sound if we are to main ! tain high yields of crops. We must use measures that will conserve not only soil but moisture also. Dr. Charles Lee Smith Dies at Raleigh Home Dr. Charles Le Smith died un expectedly at his home in Raleigh on the evening of July 14. He was in his 86th year.
