tleboro, Whitakers, Greenville,
Washington, Zebulon, Nashville,

CHAIRMAN
Robert Ed Horton, energetic sec
retary of the Zebulon Farm Bu
reau, has been named chairman of
the committee appointed to make
plans for the acquisition of a rural
fire truck for this community.
In order that those who live at
a distance may be sure of an ex
amination when they come to the
clinic and thus not make a trip in
vain, priorities will be issued on
request to anyone living twenty
miles or more from Rocky Mount.
Requests for these priorities should
be addressed to: Cancer Control
Center, Municipal Building, Rocky
Mount, North Carolina.
These clinics are operate dby the
Edgecombe-Nash Medical Society,
in cooperation with the State Board
of Health, and the local chapter of
the American Cancer Society. They
are being operated on a non-per
manent basis as an educational fea
ture and public service.
The Detection Clinic, although
open to anyone, is primarily for
service to the local public; but
the Diagnostic Clinic is design
ed to service the population of
i Northeastern North Carolina.

Projects Submitted
Zebulon’s Finer Carolina entry
blank was submitted to Carolina
Power and Light Company this
week by Ed Hales, chairman of the
Finer Carolina Steering Commit
tee, and the entry listed six pro
jects which will be attempted by
the Zebulon community during the
coming year. Chairman Hales
said that the projects were chosen
from a list of improvements need
ed in Zebulon without considering
whether they can be completed
during 1953.
The program is one of the most
ambitious attempted by small
town, and the cost of all projects
probably will exceed $60,000, if
they are carried to completion.
The largest project, headed by
H. C. Wade and Thomas Monk,
calls for the construction of a com
munity building at the park. This
building will be large enough for
banquets, dances, and all meetings.
It will have a kitchen, play room,
and toilet facilities. Included in the
plans will be room for the Zebulon
community library.
The second project, sponsored by
the Zebulon Farm Bureau, calls
for the purchase of a rural fire
truck. Robert Ed Horton was nam
ed project chairman at a meeting
of the Farm Bureau Board of Di
rectors held Monday night.
Playground equipment for the
park.is the object of project three.

President M. L. Hagwood ap
pointed a committee to work out
details and present plans for the
acquisition of the fire truck at
the January meeting of the Farm
Bureau.
Named chairman of the commit
tee was Robert Ed Horton. Others
serving are Willie B. Hopkins,
Dewey Massey, Raymond Pippin,
Bubber Eddins, and M. L. Hag
wood.
During the meeting Willie B.
Hopkins reported on his visit to
Apex, where a rural fire truck was
purchased and put into operation
by the Volunteer Fire Department
last year. He described the truck
and what he had found of the
method used in financing its up
keep.
i Several methods of financing
the Zebulon rural fire truck were
advanced, including the assessment
of dues from all who wanted pro
tection offered by the truck. The
dues could be collected in several
ways.
A second problem to be ironed
out by the committee is the limits
of protection to be offered by the
fire truck. Two suggestions were
offered: a five mile radius from
Zebulon; the area served by
the Zebulon Farm Bureau.
It was brought out during the
meeting that fire insurance rates
are lower for places protected by
fire trucks, and in many cases the
savings in fire insurance can off
set any fees charged to maintain
the truck.
