No Typhoid Reported in Wake During 1953, Dr. Bulla Reports By Dr. A. C. Bulla Since 1921 up until 1953, typhoid fever cases had been reported each year in Wake County. The peak report years were in 1920’s and the 1930’5, with the cases becoming fewer and fewer until the year 1953, when what we most desired happened; that is, not a single case of typhoid fever was re ported in Wake County in a popu lation of 146,000. Diphtheria has followed the same pattern but we cannot at this time report the absence of diph theria since there were three cases reported in 1953. The peak year was 1922 when there were 257 RECREATION NEWS Program Eight softball teams are assur ed for the recreation league play beginning next week, according to Hilliard Green, director of the pro gram. Pilot has already organiz ed its team, and Pearces has ex pressed an interest in entering the competition. Other teams will be sponsored by the Wakefield, Hopkins Chapel, Pine Ridge, Zebu lon Methodist, and Zebulon Bap tist Churches. In addition to the softball league, a volleyball league will be formed. By yesterday two teams had been entered by the National Guard, one by Theo. Davis Sons, and the churches were planning teams. Lake Glad has been chosen for the twice-weekly swimming trips, according to Greene, because it is much nearer than Wake Forest and more trips can be made on the limited funds provided the rec reation commission. Trips will be made on the Wake lon activities bus on Tuesday and Thursday of each week. Swim mers should bring their own tow els. E. R. Lovelace, proprietor of the lake, has agreed to charge only 20 cents a swimmer. The bus will leave from Wakelon School. Replacement lights have been purchased for the athletic field, and the only problem facing Greene now is getting the lights up on the poles. The old school lunchroom will be used for the recreation pro- cases reported. I The whooping cough case rate i has greatly decreased since the : young age group has been receiv -1 ing immunizations regularly, but > this disease has not yet reached the vanishing point. Fourteen cases L were reported in 1953. The administration of Tetanue • Toxoid is given along with diph -1 theria and whooping cough vac cines in the form of a triple vac t cine. It is important to remem ; ber that after a person has receiv ed the required number of injec : lions of the triple vaccine (Diph ■ theria, Whooping Cought vaccines, (See TYPHOID, Page 5) Zebulon, N. C., Friday, June 25, 1954 Is Ready The colored recreation pro gram in Zebulon will be con ducted at Shepard School Monday through Friday of each week from 1:00 until 5:00 p. m., for six weeks. The program begins Monday, June 28, and will have Mrs. Billie Gene Jones as head, assisted by Miss Gloria Taylor. gram on rainy days, and games will be provided for indoor play. Plans are being made to utilize the lunch room for the proposed weekly Family Nights. Bull Is Obsolete, Wake Man Says W. C. Davenport, Wake Coun ty’s Negro farm agent, stopped by recently to visit Mack Dunn, one of Wake’s more progressive Negro dairymen. What Davenport saw was a man that is convinced that artificial breeding “is here to stay.” Dunn has three artificially bred cows in their first milking. Already their production has surpassed some of the older, bull-bred cows of the 15-animal herd. Dunn says he plans to have all his cows bred artificially in the future. “The bull has done a good job,” said Dunn, “but artificial breed ing is fast making him lose his popularity with farmers even small farmers. The community bull is on his way out.” Davenport says that by efficient operation and management, Dunn has achieved just what he started out to do with his small herd. “That is, make a comfortable liv ing for him and his family.” Methodist Service The correct date for the visit and special program by Rev. F. D. Hedden and a group of children from the Methodist Orphanage at Zebulon Methodist Church is 11 a. m. on Sunday, June 27. Follow ing the service an old time picnic dinner will be served on the church grounds.

(See COURT, Page 5) SEEK SOLICITOR'S POST 3p§|: HHBMk M wßjjif I - S WsSmM | est Robert A. Cotten Increasing interest has been noted in the contest between Robert Cotten of Fuquay Springs and Lester Chalmers of Raleigh, who seek the office of Solicitor of the Seventh Judicial Dictrict. In spite of efforts on the part of supporters of both candidates, a light vote is expected. Theo. Davis Sons, Publishers Two Contests Will r Be Decided Here; Interest Lacking The record-breaking vote of the May 29 Democratic Primary will not be exceeded tomorrow, if interest in this community is an indication. Both local can didates for Constable have ex pressed disappointment at the apparent lack of interest here, and little enthusiasm has been stirred by the Solicitor’s contest. James Richardson, American Plumbing & Electrical Supply Co. employee, led Eddie Martin in the first primary in the race for Constable of Little River Town ship. Richardson built up a sub stantial lead in the Zebulon pre cinct, but at Mitchell’s Mill in the north end of the township Martin was high man. Both Richardson and Martin have campaigned with increased vigor since the first primary. Lester V. Chalmers, Jr., and Robert A. Cotten are survivors of a spirited first primary five-way battle which saw John B. McDon ald, Jr., J. C. B. Ehringhaus, Jr., and Carl E. Gaddy, Jr., lose out. Chalmers is a Raleigh attorney who has served as assistant to Solicitor William Y. Bickett. Cotten, a former Solicitor of the Fuquay Recorder’s Court, is known through the district for his work as practicing attorney for 20 years. Polls open at 6:30 a.m. and continue open until 6:30 p.m. Local election officials are Wade Privette, registar; Zollie Culpepper, judge; and Bobby Ross Eddins, judge.
