THE ZEBULON RECORD Volume XXIX. Number 54. Five Persons Injured As Car Is Wrecked Near Zebulon Five persons, colored, were injured in a collision \Vz miles south of Zebulon on highway 96 Tuesday, it was reported Wednesday by highway patrolman John Rowe. The patrolman said that Bobby Richardson, 22 of Zebulon was driving a 51 model two door Ford j that careened sharply from the highway and overturned several times and smashed'into a tree. Richardson received a broken \ left thigh and head injuries and was admitted along with four oth- ; er passengers to St. .Agnes Hos-! pital in Raleigh shortly after the J accident. Others injured were Diane Walker, 2, of Zebulon, broken right thigh; Dora McKnight, 20, of Zebulon, back injury; Charles Holder of Middlesex, 26, possible fractured ribs and broken leg; and Elizabeth Walker, 21, laceration of the right arm. Probably Dismissed It was indicated that the last named was probably dismissed on arrival at the hospital as her in jury was not believed serious, the patrolman said. Rowe pointed out that Richard son was apparently traveling at a high rate of speed before he lost control of the car, and said that the automobile was battered all over, a total loss. Two other passengers in the car were not identified. The patrolman also reported a wreck incident that took place last Saturday at 2:40 p. m. at the intersection of highway 96 and Hood Road. Accident happened when a 51 Chevrolet pickup truck, driven by Dewey Massey of Zebulon, collided with a 46 Chevrolet, driven by Norman Holmon of Zebulon. Right front fender of the truck and left rear fender of the car were damaged, Rowe said. Planning Increases Farm Production The farmer and his family can get the most from their land, cap ital, and capabilities only by plan ning ahead, warns W. D. Tous saint, assistant professor of agri cultural economics at N. C. State College. Toussaint says that to draw up this farm plan, the farmer and his family must look at all the al ternatives. Hundreds of possibili ties are open but the choice should be based upon the relative profit expected, resources available, and family preferences. There are several steps involved in developing a farm plan. Firgt, the farmer needs an inven tory of all available resources. Next he must estimate the re sources needed for various alter natives and the expected output from each, and predictions of fu ture prices and costs. Then he can estimate the net re turn from the alternative enter prises and methods of production. This offers comparisons, so that the family can make its choices to gain the greatest satisfaction from the available land, labor, capital and management. As an example, perhaps dairy production appears to be profita ble. But the farmer may not like cows. Or he may not have fam ily labor or capital. Hogs might bring a smaller return, but may fit in better with other enterprises on the farm. Wilbur Debnam # Is Only Candidate For Local Office Local politics, for the past sev eral weeks on the cool side, failed to warm up appreciably this week, with only one candidate having an nounced to date. Town officials said yesterday that no candidate has filed as yet, although the municipal elections are only a little over two weeks away. No candidate has announced for the board of commissioners, and some of the present board members have stated that they will not run again. Meanwhile Wilbur T. Debnam, member of the present board who announced his candidacy for May or earlier this spring has been busily working away in his cam paign, although as yet he has no announced opposition. No Statement Incumbent Mayor Worth Hinton, asked yesterday for a statement by the Record, declared that he still has no statement to make regard ing a bid for reelection, although he has been extensively quoted as saying both that he would be a candidate and would not be a can didate. Apparently he has not yet made up his mind. One factor entering the present local political situation is Mayor Hinton’s candidacy for a district governorship of North Carolina Lions Clubs. Several Zebulon resi dents who have supported the Mayor in past elections are cool toward his candidacy for the may oralty this year because they feel he would not have time to do jus tice to both positions, should he be elected. Accident Hearing Highlights Court Session Evidence concerning a February 20 accident here was heard by Judge Irby Gill Wednesday in Zeb ulon Recorder’s Court. The accident, in which three Zebulon youths were seriously in jured, involved a Strait Line Truck, loaded with fruit, and a 1946 Chevrolet, owned by Wil liam G. Hawley of Zebulon. Al though the truck was only slight ly damaged in the rear the car was completely demolished. The case was bound over to Su perior Court in Raleigh. Defend-, ants Joseph Berube and Richard Hanatow were each required to post bonds of $750. Hanatow, 21, of Miami, Fla., driving the truck at the time of the accident, is charged with fail ing to yield right-of-way to an other vehicle and hit-run driving resulting in personal injuries for failing to stop at the scene of the collision. Berube, 28, of Fall River, Mass., regular driver of the truck, is charged with aiding and abetting in hit-run driving. A decision regarding the right Zebulon, N.

The purpose of the dinner is two fold: “First, it is designed to pay tribute to the unselfish work of lay leaders who have endeavored to make our school better and to call attention to the fine things that have been initiated this year along with the splendid efforts by the teaching staff; second, it is planned to raise funds to be used in an effort toward getting ready for a Southern Association of Schools visitation with the view of being accredited by that agency. “There are certain standards and conditions that must be met to be accredited by the Southern Asso ciation. Here is a brief resume of some of the things involved. “First, it is necessary to make a study of the curriculum and to evaluate our teaching. Last fall the school began such a study. We have organized among the teach ers committees for the purpose of visiting the classes of fellow teach ers. These groups have reported to the faculty and have had gen eral discussions on the findings mentioned in the reports. This phase of the study will be com pleted this year. An attempt will be made to correct the inadequa cies. “In another month our library will be standard in so far as num ber of books, cataloging, kind, and newness of publications are con cerned.

The of fice record and file keeping along with the collection of individual data on students noted on cumula tive folders has been met to the point of approval. “The academic requirements for the teaching staff is met excellent ly.

This condition has been sat isfied by the starting of our driver training program this year. “There are other things which will be needed that are stipulated which without your help will be impossible to obtain.
