Eld red Rountree Urges Farm-Town Cooperation Small town merchants should go out of their way to be friendly and learn of the problems facing the farmer, said Eldred Rountree in a short talk to the Zebulon Rot ary Club Friday night. In his talk, Eldred answered the questioned posed by Program Chairman Ralph Talton, “What do the farmers ex pect from the merchants in a small town.” Most farmers today are progres sive, Eldred said, and the more Jehovah's Witnesses Set for Big Meeting A public discourse, “With All Thy Getting Get Understanding,” Sunday afternoon at 3:00, will climax a special week of activity for Jehovah’s Witnesses in this area. The doscourse, which is free to the public, will be delivered by Francis R. Eldridge, of Hagers town, Haryland, the servant of this circuit, at the Kingdom Hall near Stancil’s Chapel. Elderidge will be making his semi-annual visit to the local con gregation and the discourses are part of a world-wide free Bible educational campaign with over 400,000 ministers volunteering their time, energy and resources to serve persons of goodwill to ward God and his Kingdom in more than 115 countries of the earth. The final discourse by Eldridge will be at the Kingdom Hall on the subject, “The Final Witness” at 4:15 Sunday afternoon. i The purpose of this campaign, the circuit servant points out, is not to gain converts but rather to awake righteously - disposed per sons to the urgency of getting Bi ble knowledge accurately with which to comfort their hearts in these trying times and to combat the Satanic influence in the earth.

Baugh with 31 their income, the more money they will have to spend with those who help them. One of the things needed most for the farmers is a market for their produce. Even though tobacco and cotton are the chief money crops, farmers are diversifying the farm ing and more markets should be provided, he said. His wide experience in working with farmers evei’yday gave El dred an insight into the problem of the farmers which most business men lack. His discussion proved in teresting and informative.

BEAUTY HELPS T •" £ V ' ' Beautiful Miss America, Colleen Kay Hutchins of Salt Lake City, Utah, adds her contribution to the 1952 March of Dimes. Four out of every five polio patients need and ieceive March of Dimes help. Re ceptacle shaped like the famous iron lungs will be placed in Zebu lon to ieceive contributions. March of Dimes Campaign Begins l The March of Dimes, now going on throughout the nation, will be- J gin in Zebulon next week, accord- ! ing to Barrie Davis, who was ap- ( pointed last week as chairman of the drive in this community. A goal of $1,900 has been set for the Zebulon community, which is iaiger than any amount raised in previous years. In 1949 a total of $867 was raised, and in 1950 SBBS was con tributed to the March of Dimes, i Ed Ellington, Ed Hales. R. H. Herring, and Melvin Massey are also on the committee to help with the campaign. Other com mittee members will be appointed this week. Even though much progress has been made through research fi nanced by the March of Dimes, po lio is the only epidemic disease still on the increase in America. Sci entists say that the high pattern will probably continue until some means it found for preventing the disease. Help for victims of polio has been given in this community. Twice in the last decade epidem ics have struck North Carolina worse than any section of the coun- ■ ty. The March of Dimes will con tinue through January 31, and in addition to receptacles for contri butions in stores, solicitors will attempt to contact every person in the community so that everyone may have an opportunity to help.
