The promise of increased draft quotas for September and October A preacher we know bought a used car. After keeping it a week, he took it back to the dealer. “I’ve brought back this second hand car you sold me,” the par son said. “What’s the matter? Can’t you make it run,” asked the dealer. “Not and stay in the ministry,” was the answer. • The measure of a man’s charac ter is what he would do if he knew he would never be found out. • If you like to see jig-saw puz zles attempted, you should watch us trying to find space for new machinery when we buy it for our shop. • We often think we could move mountains if someone would get the hills out of the way, Rod Hendrickson wrote.

C., Tuesday, August 12, 1952 Community Groups Request Change In Phone System Civic organizations, including the Chamber of Commerce groups, from Wendell and Zebulon began joining forces this week to seek a consolidation of the Zebulon and Wendell telephone exchanges. At the present time a toll charge of ten cents is made for each call from one town to the other. The call must go through Raleigh to be completed. Hales Favors Change Ed Hales, president of the Zeb ulon Chamber of Commerce, stat ed that he favored the consolida tion, feeling that it would mean closer cooperation among the peo ple of the two communities and more business for the merchants. He cited several instances of farmers who traded either in Zeb ulon or Wendell and refused tele phone service because they were unable to be tied in to the central office in the town where they traded. Wendell For It E. H. Moser, executive secretary of the Wendell Chamber of Com merce and Sales Supervisor of the vvendell Tobacco Board of Trade, jaid he “thought it (the consoli dation) should be done.” A meeting of the Wendell Chamber of Com merce is being called this week to approve a request for the con solidation. The Zebulon Rotary Club dis cussed the move at the meeting held Friday night, but the group decided to defer action for a week. The majority of the Rotarians ex pressed immediate approval. Where to Send Letters Letters concerning the change in the central offices "rnay be sent to the Zebulon Record to be for warded to the telephone company, or they may be written to Edwin A.

S. Buchanan, livestock specialist for the State College Extension Service. For the first time, the sales have been organized on a State wide basis. Things to Do Now Although the sales will not be held until September and Octo ber, prospective sellers need to do several things right now to get their animals ready. For example, all calves entered in the sales must be vaccinated for blackleg. They must also be vacci nated for shipping fever at least 10 days prior to the sale. No bull calves will be sold. All animals must be dehorned. Every precaution must be taken to see that older heifer calves are not bred. Only calves of strictly beef breeding will be accented for the sales. Both steer and heifer calves will be included. All heifer calves will be tested for Bang’s disease when deliver ed to the sale. All animals must be field-inspected and approved by the sales’ committee prior to the day of the sale. No Y’earling Cattle No yearling cattle or calves un der 300 pounds in weight will be accepted. All animals entering the sale ring must be sold. No consignors will have a “no sale” privilege. Urgent Call For Help At Park Is Issued by Steering Committee Head An urgent call for help was is sued by W T ilbur Debnam, chair man of the Finer Zebulon Steer ing Committee, who said that at least 25 men will be needed to do the final clearing of trees on the Zebulon community park Wednesday. This is the last clearing that will be done on the site this year. The Fourth District Highway Landscape Engineer visited the park last week and marked all trees which should be removed this year. * Mr. McMichaels, the Engineer, said that the fast-growing trees must be thinned again during the next two years, but until they Theo.

Civils, Chief of the Accident Records Section of the Highway Safety Division, spoke on the danger on the highways before the members of the Zebu lon Lions Club at the regular meet- Oteen, for some months, day night in the recreation room of the Zebulon Methodist Church. Lions Clarence Hocutt and Henry Massey were in charge of the program and introduced the speaker. * Every 60 Seconds Mr. Civils gave figures showing the number of persons killed and injured in the United States and in North Carolina. In the United States one person is injured every 26 seconds and one killed every 900 seconds. In North Carolina one accident occurs every 14 minutes, one person is injured every 35 minutft, and one person is killed every BV2 hours. Last year in North Carolina 1,- 071 people were killed, 15,000 in jured, and 28,000 people suffer ed property damage on the high ways. 1,500,000 Drivers There are 1,500,000 licensed dri vers in North Carolina, the Lions were told. A point emphasized in the talk was that most drivers we meet on the highway are total strangers, • and that when they pass by an arm’s length from our car, we are in as great a danger as a person standing at arm’s length from a target which is being fired at by a man with a high-powered rifle 200 feet away. The Driver Education Program being worked out by the Highway Safety Division seems to be one great step forward in helping to prevent accidents on our street and highways, Mr. Civils said. Questions Asked After the meeting a few of the Lions asked Mr. Civils questions on drivers’ safety, including how to train a boy or girl to drive safely. He answered that adults should take time to show them the proper ways of handling an automobile and explain to them the dangers of doing things the wrong way and the injury they can receive by not giving their fellow drivers proper considera tion. O. J. Hill, Route 5, Salisbury, believes that turkeys grown in confinement pay off in labor sav ing and low mortality rate, in spite of higher feeds costs. grow higher it will be wise to wait before attempting further clearing. As soon as the trees marked by Mr. McMichaels are cut and dragged from the park, the en tire area will be disked. In addition to the men needed for work on the trees, another group will be needed to work gn the large shelter. The concrete for the shelter has been poured, according to Ed Hales, president of the Chamber of Commerce, and now help is needed for the rest of the construction work. Lights have been installed at the shelter so that work may be con tinued Wednesday night by those who cannot help during the day.
