THE ZEBULON RECORD Volume XXIX. Number 58. BRYANT, BUNN, CORBETT, MASSEY, AND WALL BRING FIELD TO ELEVEN IN BOARD RACE jgg| m m m, £ jfc, WS Philip Massey Farm Supplier Homes Equal Highways In Accidents, Lions Told Dr. Charles Camerson of the State Board of Health told the local Lions Club last Thursday night in Wakelon cafeteria that as many accidents occur in the home as on the highway. Calling casualties in the home “unnoticed accidents” because of the quality of glamour associated with highway calamities (sirens, whistles, high speeds and such), the speaker named several inter related factors that contribute to the domestic death and injury toll. Some of these factors, he said, concern socio-economic back ground, psychological makeup and domestic hazards. Background Important These factors, according to Dr. Camerson, are interrelated because one’s background might contribute to psychological negligence. Be cause of temperament a person could be not only negligent in leaving hazards about, but psy chologically he could be less alert to these hazards; in this manner he might be more liable to a serious accident which could result in per manent injury or death. Also in this connection, he said, a person’s temperament might cause him to become incensed with his wife, take to the highway in Legion Auxiliary to Sell Poppies In Community Saturday, May 28 By Mrs. Dabney Gill Memorial poppies which will be worn here on Poppy Day, May 28, to honor the nation’s war dead have been received by the Amer ican Legion Auxiliary from Fay etteville where they were made by disabled war veterans.

Further emphasizing the import ance of socio-economic background with respect to accidents, the speaker said that, for example, the accident rate is higher among the tolored than ‘among the white, higher in large families than in small families, higher among the poor than among the rich. Much Poisoning Factor contributing predomi nately to the death of children be tween the ages of one and five is poisoning he declared, pointing out that parents often left harm ful substances within reach of their children, such as floor wax, cosmetics and aspirin. Only cancer and heart disease cause more deaths than accidents in the home, he told the group. Ed Hales, chairman of the local school board, appeared at the meeting, and urged support of the forthcoming School Appreciation Night, April 26. Roland Gaddy, new member of the club who replaced Bill Marley at Carolina Power and Light Com pany here, was presented his Lions International pin by Mayor Worth Hinton. boxes Saturday, May 28—Poppy Day, will enable the Auxiliary to carry out a constructive program of aid to the disabled and to the dependent families of veterans throughout the year. Poppy Day is the one day when the public is privileged to contribute towards this great work. All for Welfare When the American Legion Aux iliary adopted the poppy it pledged the profits 100 percent to welfare relief for service men and women and their families, thus fulfilling the true meaning of the poppy, an emblem of faith, faith which is being kept with all who died, through service to the living. So won’t you, the public, help us on this one day to keep this faith with those who gave so very much. Wear a Poppy to Honor the Dead and Aid the Disabled. Zebulon, N.
