Although it may be possible to build six armories if prices do i rot increase, bids for the Lexington armory, which is sixth on the pri i ority list will not be received un til after the Zebulon contract is let. Zebulon, N. C., Tuesday, January 20, 1953 Veterinarian Says Community to Be Beef Farm Center In ten years this section of North Carolina will be the center of the state’s beef production, Dr. R. A. Spring predicted Friday night in a talk to the members of the Zeb ulon Rotary Club. His firm belief in the future of cattle in this com munity is the reason he establish ed his practice in Zebulon and the reason he has refused several very attractive offers to practice in oth er areas, he said. The veterinarian discussed the problems encountered by farmers, poultrymen and dairymen in car ring for *heir stock, and told sev eral stories of cases he has treated here. Cholera Loss He urged that hogs be vaccinated for cholera. The inexpensive treat ment produces immunity to chol era for the life of the animal, and the need for vaccination is -proven by the estimated $15,000 loss to cholera in the Pine Ridge and Pilot communities this year alone. Bangs disease and hoof and mouth disease are practically un known in the United States, he said, because of strict control measures. Hoof and mouth di sease, which is extremely contagi ous, is not always fatal to the cows, but even if a cow recovers from the disease, she is no more good for beef or milk production. Cows Saved Members of the club were sur prised to learn that Caesarean ope rations are possible on cattle. Dr. Spring told of several he had per formed, saving both the cow and calf when normal delivery was im possible. In speaking of cows suffering from “hollow horn and hollow tail,” Dr. Spring said this is the perfect diagnosis, since all horns are hollow. Old time remedies in clude boring holes in the cows’ horns, splitting the tail, and put ting salt and pepper inside. Artificial Breeding In answer to the question as to why more artificial breeding is not practiced in this community. Dr. Spring said false ideas of the cost have hindered widespread use of artificial breeding. Servicing a cow artificially costs $7.50, he said, and this includes two additional services if the first does not take. “Some farmers believe that artificially bred cows have more bull calves,” he said, “but this is not true. Figures show that the proportion is the same for artificial and natural breeding.” Following the program, Dr. Spring remained to answer ques tions from the Rotarians. Officers Named New officers for the coming year were elected during the business session. Barrie Davis was named president; G. C. Massey, vice-pres ident; Rodney McNabb, secretary; Vance Brown, treasurer; D. D. Chamblee sergeant-at-arms; and Ashley Murphy and Ben Thomas, directors. Upholstery Shop It Opened in Zebulon Mr. and Mrs. Harry Bissett have returned to Zebulon where Harry plans to open an upholstery shop on Route 1 just south of the Zebu lon city limits on Arendell Avenue. They formerly lived in Rocky Mount. SPEAKER * ; JS w Pictured is Dr. Richard Spring, local veterinarian, who discussed his work and possibilities of in creased livestock production here at the Rotary Club Friday night. Hospital Insurance Reminder Is Given Farm Bureau members with hospitalization insurance policies under the Farm Bureau group plan should check by Hales Farm Sup ply Company today or tomorrow to have them renewed, according to Robert Ed Horton, secretary of the Zebulon Farm Bureau. Renewals will be due on Janu ary 25, and policy holders are warned not to let their policies lapse because of the savings real ized through the group plan. Those who are unable to renew their policies by January 25 may contact the Blue Cross-Blue Shield representative today or tomorrow and then pay Secretary Horton the required premium as late as February 5. Cancer Clinic Has Large Exam Day Thirty-six persons were examin ed in the Cancer Detection and Diagnostic Clinics yesterday, when the clinics were held for the 128th time by physicians of Edgecombe and Nash Counties. These clinics are held each Wed nesday at 9:00 o’clock at the Mu nicipal Building in Rocky Mount, and they are open only to persons forty years of age, and older, re gardless of race or ability to pay.

The Town of Zebulon and the surrounding community has been divided into zones with a mother appointed to contact residents in each zone. This is the first year the Mo thers’ March has been staged in Zebulon. In Raleigh and other communities it has proved success ful in putting the campaign over funds across.

He said he hopes to complete the cairmaign this week, well in dvanee of the rest of the county. The March of Dimes will con tinue nationally through January 31. Both Mr. Ellington and Mrs. Hinton urged that liberal contri butions be given. “School chil dren have been going through the community asking for dimes,” Mrs. Hinton said, “but it takes more than dimes to continue the fight against polio Give as much as you can when someone calls on you.” Need Emphasized To emphasize the needs for funds, Chairman Ellington said that more lungs were supplied po lio victims last year than in the previous three years combined. Over $3,500,000 in equipment was rushed on polio cases in 1952 by the March of Dimes, he added.
