THE ZEBULON RECORD Volume XXVII. Number 66. Sportsmanlike DRIVING/g%\ G& vJL^f * Ml ° l> Co "e</« <J(() Why don’t drinking and driv ing mix f The answers are no longer guess-work, says the AAA diiver training book, “Sportsmanlike Driving.” The facts are now known. Alcohol reduces reaction time. A drinking driver is slow to sense danger. He’s slow to re act to it He feels relaxed and confident He loses normal fear of consequences. He gaily throws caution to the winds. Oh, maybe he isn’t “drunk." Maybe he “had only a drink or two” like the late George Brown! “George insisted the left side Zebulon Softball Team Begins Play Saturday Play starts this week in the hot test softball league in the history of North Carolina, with Zebulon meeting Raleigh tomorrow night on Red Diamond in the capital city.

Drinking drivers misjudge their own and other cars. They are hazy about critical things— speed, distance, road width, lanes. There’s mighty good sense in the old advice, “When you drive, don’t drink; when you drink, don’t drive.” It’s taking a smart detour around hospitals anc cemeteries l Vera Rhodes, who says she is a “farmerette.” “We could not get everybody from Zebulon who is for Umstead on the program,” the committee statement said. “There would not be enough time in the day—but we have done the next best thing, which is to have statements broad cast from representative citizens of this community.” “In the past most radio speeches on behalf of candidates have been by professional politicians, but these statements, made by the farm people themselves and recorded as they made them, are the views of people who make their living from the land. In other words, the broadcast tells how representative farmers feel about William Um stead as the next Governor of North Carolina.” Zebulon, N. C., Friday, May 23, 1952 Proposed Armory Site Purchase Is Approved Monday The purchase of an armory site for the Zebulon National Guard unit was unanimously approved by the Board of Commissioners at a special meeting held Monday night in the Municipal Building. The vote was taken following a detailed talk by Major General John Hall Manning, Adjutant General for the State of North Carolina, and discussion by citizens of Zebulon attending the meeting. Before the motion to purchase the site was made, Mayor Worth Hinton asked those present if there were any opposition to the action. None was expressed. Architect’s Drawing General Manning showed an ar chitect’s drawing and the floor plan of the proposed armory to be con structed on the site. He told of the training facilities which will be provided, and estimated the cost of the structure at $125,000. During the discussion period, General Manning was ask ed what use the community can make of the armory when it is completed. He stated that armories are extensively used for dances, teenage activities, flower shows, oanquets, and numerous other functions. The local unit com mander, he said, exercises direct supervision over the use of the building. The motion to purchase the site was made by Commissoiner How ard Beck. Commissioner Wesley Liles seconded it. Site Disagreement The only disagreement express ed at the meeting was in choice of site. Those present said that the beautiful armory deserved a choice location so that it could be easily seen and visited by people pass ing through Zebulon. The building will be financed by the State and Federal govern ments, with North Carolina pay ing one-fourth and the Federal government the remaining 75 per cent. The Town of Zebulon will be ob ligated to provide a suitable site, must make water and sewer con nections, and must pay the cost of any grading necessary. Haste Is Urged Whether Zebulon is given the armory within the next year de pends upon the immediate pur chase of a site, the availability of materials, and the cost of armory construction, General Manning said. He was optimistic about the posibilities, however, saying that Federal funds expected for armory construction during the year be ginning July 1, 1952, should per mit five armories to be built in North Carolina, including one in Zebulon. Those present at the meeting in cluded Frank Wall, president of the Zebulon Chamber of Com merce; Ralph Talton, head of the Recreation Commission; Fred Smith, assistant superintendent of Wake County Schools; C. V. Whit ley, Dr. L. M. Massey, the Rev. A. D. Parrish, and many others. Commissioners Present Commissioners meeting with Mayor Worth Hinton were Philip Massey, Howard Beck and Wesley Liles. Commissioner J. Raleigh Al ford, who is still weak after a seige of sickness, was unable to climb the stairs to the court room but listened to the meeting in the town office. He approved the pur chase.

Mcßane Soil erosion is similar to a run ning sore inasmuch as it grateful ly gets worse if it is not treated. Even with good treatment many times it is slow to heal even though drastic measures are used. Sloping lands that are planted to row crops are exposed to severe erosion if not treated to conserve the diminishing topsoil. Leslie Todd of near Wendell seeded meadows and constructed terraces. Leslie was not quite sat isfied so he ran his rows according ing to the string method so each row would carry its own water, thereby relieving t le terraces to some extent. In addition to terraces, meadows, and row arrangement, a good soil conserving rotation with grasses in cluded will protect the soil from the ravages of erosion through its dense root system and by the addi tion of much organic material. Other farmers terracing and us ing the string method are J. W. Daniel of Rolesville, Raymond Al len, H. T. Hunter, and L. C. Clark, of Apex, Ralgh Kelly of Garner, Harold Parker of Fuquay Springs and others. National Guard to Drill Sunday In Preparation for Summer Camp The first outdoor maneuvers of the summer will be conducted by Battery A, Zebulon’s National Guard unit, on Sunday when the 55 officers and men of the bat tery will prepare for the combat efficiency test to be given at Fort McClellan, Alabama, in July. The training will begin at 8 o’clock Sunday morning and will continue nearly all day, according to Ad ministrative Assistant Kenneth Hopkins, who said the training schedule will include everything but actually firing the 105-mm howitzers. Dinner will be served on the Wakelon School grounds, and young men between the ages of 17 and 18% years of age are in vited to eat with the Guardsmen at 12:30. Mess Steward Percy Parrish re ported yesterday that his menu calls for one of the best meals Theo. Davis Sons, Publishers. Child Labor Act Prohibits Work By Youngsters The Federal Child Labor Laws prohibit employment of children under 16 years of age in agricul ture during the hours school is in session, if the products grown on the farm are to be shipped in in terstate commerce. This is pointed out by Dr. C. B. Ratchford, in charge of farm man agement and marketing, State Col lege Extension Service, who urges , all farmers to become familiar with provisions of these laws. A farmer, says Dr. Ratchford, may use his own children, but he is violating the law if he hires children of his neighbors or oth ers, including the children of mi gratory workers, during the hours school is in session in the district where the children are living. ! The specialist adds that a child under 16 years of age may work I on a school day, before or after the hours school is in session, provid ed the hours worked do not ex ceed three hours per day or total more than 18 hours per week. Work performed before or after school hours must be between 7 a. m. and 7 p. m. i Local Printing Plant Proves Well-Equipped Theo. Davis Sons, publishers of the Zebulon Record, rate high in all equipment categories, according to a survey released last week by the American Press, a weekly mag azine published by the American Press Association. The survey was cited as “the most exhaustive ever made to analyze the equipment used by weekly newspapers.” The Zebulon plant rated in the upper 8 per cent of the 8,500 week ! ly newspaper plants in the number of handfed cylinder presses used. In offset presses, the Record publishers rated in the upper 12 per cent . In linecasting machines, the Zebulon firm rated in the top two per cent; in mailing machines, in the top 10 percent; in metal saws, in the top 20 per cent; in folders, in the top two percent. In nearly every category, the American Press gave Theo. Da vis Sons a place in the top half of the weekly newspaper plants. ever served to military forces. His section includes Sgt. George Mas sey, Sgt. Max Williams, Cpl. Phil ip Williams, and Cpl. Donald Fow ler. Visitors are inVited to inspect the equipment used by the unit in the field. A forward observer’s post will be established to tele phone a simulated fire mission to the Fire Direction Center, where the newly formed section will con vert the requests for fire com mands for the howitzers. The motor section, under the su pervision of Sfc. Johnsey Arnold and Sgt. Elton Price, will conduct a motor march during the morn ing, while the rest of the, bat tery is in action. 4 The firing sections will be work ing the first time as units under the direction of the two new chiefs of section, Sgt.
