THE ZEBULON RECORD Volume XXVII. Number 53. Annua! Red Cross Drive Begins Here With High Quota The annual Red Cross Fund Campaign starts today, according to Howard Beck, Chairman of thei Zebulon Rotary Club Committee which is directing the Campaign in Zebulon and adjoining communi ties. In urging wide support of the Campaign, Beck reviewed some of the work of the Red Cross in Wake County and in other parts of the country last year. “Here in Wake County last year our Red Cross gathered 2,435 pints o*f blood for the Armed Forces, i Through the Red Cross, 1,292 per- < sons in Wake County received nursing aid from 143 registered nurses and 670 trained non-nurses. Red Cross volunteer workers vis ited veterans hospitals to bring cheer and comfort to the ill. Aid was given 18 families who suffer- ! ed losses in one-family fires. And the Red Cross aided 14 families in Wake County whose crops were destroyed by hail. Aids Flood Victims “On the national level, the work of the Red Cross in aiding the vic tims of the flood disaster in Kan sas, Missouri, Oklahoma and Illi nois last year was a major opera tion. Through the Red Cross over 24,000 families received assistance. Homes were replaced and repair ed, people were rescued and given transportation and shelter, medical aid and nursing care was extended food and clothing were given those who suffered great losses, and farm supplies, livestock, and equipment were replaced. Almost $14,000,000 of aid was given to the victims of this one disaster. “It is activities such as these that we support when we support our Red Cross.” Patrolman Lovett Is In Accident at Pilot Patrolman Paul Lovett was in jured about 8:30 Saturday night when his patrol car crashed into the rear of an automobile while he was pursuing a Mercury. Lov ett was treated by Dr. Charles Flowers for bruises on his arms and leg and possible rib fractures following the accident, but he was able to be out of bed for dinner Sunday. The wreck followed a 10-mile chase which began in Wendell when Patrolman Lovett attempted to stop the speeding Mercury, driv en by a Negro. The Mercury screamed through Zebulon to Pilot, where it turned left down highway 39 toward Louisburg with Lovett close behind. Just past the Pilot Baptist Church the Mercury narrowly missed a new Chevrolet driven by Avon Brantley as the Chevrolet was turning off the highway. Too late to avoid a collision, Lovett jammed on his brakes but hit the Brantley car in the rear. The Mercury escaped. Neither Brantley nor his wife, who was with him, was hurt ■ - ■ ■ ■ ■ ■■ —■ .■ Supper Set Tuesday By V/akelon Seniors The Wakelon Senior Class is J sponsoring & pig barbecue supper on Tuesday night, March 25, in the Wakelon School cafeteria.

We feel that that segment of the population owning dogs and wish ing to keep them will be glad to have this opportunity to comply with the law. That other segment of the population who has not list ed dogs for taxation and who does not wish to have them vaccinated, on or after July 1, will be requir ed to do so according to the law, or take their dogs to the impounding facilities provided by Wake Coun ty or notify the Wake County Ra bies Control Officer that they de sire them to be impounded and this will be done for them. Program Beginning. This is the beginning of what we hope will be, after July 1, an j adequate Rabies Control Program ! which must be brought about by the control of animals most likely to spread rabies, which are dogs. • If dog owners will comply with the law as it is now written, we are confident we will be in a po sition to apply the control measure which are: 1. Certificate of ownership for each dog. 2. Evidence of vaccination which means that the dog is wear ing a collar with a numbered metal tag attached. 3. The humane disposition of un wanted and unowned dogs or what is known as stray dogs, for which no one assumes responsibility. Bobby Jack Ferrell Is Made Corporal Bobby J.
