The drive in Wake County officially begins Thursday, January 15, and contin ues through January 31. Chairman Ellington urged that everyone in the community give generously to the fight against in fantile paralysis, because the need of funds is more urgent this year than ever Not only will new cases of polio which occur in 1953 require help 'rom the March of Dimes, but j here will be 58,000 old cases still ; ->eeding March of Dimes financial 'elp. New cases reported amounted to 3.303 in 1950; 28,395 in 1951; and new record of 55.000 in 1952, the vorst polio year on record. Ft c. use of the tremendous num cr of victims in 1952, the National 'oundation for Infantile Paralysis ntered 1953 with unapid bills )f $7,000,000, Chairman El n ton said. This marks the fifth uccessive year that the polio fight -I,e; organization has’ wound up in he red. Fifty per cent of all money con ributed to the March of Dimes is ised by the Wake County chapter o help pay the costs of treating 10-3al 3al patiettts or‘, in emergencies, po lio patients elsewhere. Negroes Are Urged To Grow Livestock People are eating more meat and livestock products now than they were some 35 or 40 years ago, yet many Negro farmers in North Carolina have been slow to change their farming plans to conform to this demand, according to H. A. Johnson, Cumberland County farm agent for the Extension Ser vice. Johnson says that 10 Negro far mers interviewed in Cumberland County in 1950 used their land as follows: improved pasture, 1 per cent; idle land, 20 per cent; corn, 26 per cent; tobacco, 4 per cent; cotton, 25 per cent; small grain, 5 per cent; hay and other crops, 19 per cent. The biggest weakness in this land use, in view of the increased demand for livestock products, is the small grain and the high per centage of idle land. “How well your farm will pro duce in 1973 is going to be de termined by how well your re sources are used now,” Johnson de clares. Zebulon Is Declared Sanctuary for Birds An ordinance declaring Zebulon a bird sanctuary was passed by the Board of Commissioners at the regular January meeting held last week.

Battery A and the other four batteries of the 113th Field Artillery Battalion, made up one of the two completely motorized units in the parade and review. About 40 officers and men from Battery A took part. Dinner was served the National Guardsmen at Pullen Armary at State College following the re view in the afternoon. A new change in policy made the National Guard more attrac tive to men over 18% years of age, according to Unit Administra tor J. P. Arnold. A member of the National Guard can volunteer for two years of active duty with the Army, entering service in the grade he holds in the National Guard. “This means that men over 18%, who are subject to the draft, can enlist in the National Guard and gain rapid promotion, then volun teer in grade for active duty for the two years they would have had to serve anyway if called by the draft.” Sfc. Arnold reported. Men who enlist in the National Guard below the age of 18% are still exempt from the draft as long as they participate in National National Guard activities. Cows, in New Jersey experi ments, were observed to do 60 per cent of their grazing in the day time and 40 per cent at night.

Davis Sons, Publishers School Leader Calls For $5,500,000 Wake Bond Issue The need for the proposed $5,- 500,000 bond issue for the schools of Wake County was explained by Fred Smith, assistant superintend ent of Wake County Schools, at the Friday night meeting of the Zebulon Rotary Club. The former principal of Wakelon School went into detail telling of the problems facing the schools today which ne cessitate the bond issue. The speaker was introduced by Eldred Rountree, program chair man. Chief points made by Mr. Smith in citing the need for the bond is sue included the desperate lack of classroom space in the schools. Schools do not have sufficient room to care for the pupils attending now, he said, and enrollment will increase in the future. The popu lation of the county is increasing more rapidly than anticipated, and it is placing a severe burden on the schools. The bonds will not increase taxes for schools, he because the property valuation in Wake Coun ty has increased until tax revenues for schools are sufficient to pay both principal and interest on the bonds. The property valuation of Wake County will soon exceed $200,000,000. In 1948, the school leader said, Wake County received $2,125,000 in bond money for schools. At that time it was estimated that it would require $4,000,000 to bring the schools up to adequate standards. Today the need for school im provements is greatter than ever, and the proposed bond issue is one method of filling the need. During the business session Bar rie Davis was elected vice presi dent of the Rotary Club to fill the unexpired term of Carlton Mit chell, who has been recalled to act ive duty as a chaplain by the Navy. Zebulon's Postal Revenue Increases An all time record was establish ed for the Zebulon Postoffice in 1952 when the total receipts for the year amounted to $19,987.63, a gain over 1951 of $2,604,61, or ap proximately 15 percent, according to Postmaster M. J. Sexton. Money orders issued by the Zeb ulon Postoffice during 1952 amounted to 17.589 for $222,791.13. nie Harris Brown, who died at Mary Elizabeth Hospital Friday following an illness of several weeks, were held at the Wakefield Baptist Church Sunday at 2:30 p. M., with the Rev Theo. B. Davis of Zebulon and Dr. J. A. Ellis of Raleigh in charge. Burial was in the Wakefield cemetery. Mrs. Brown was the wife of the late P. L. Harris of Wakefield un til his death in 1915. She later mar ried J. M. Brown of Star, who died in 1942. Since then, Mrs. Brown had resided in Louisburg and Ral eigh.
