THE ZEBULON RECORD Volume XXIX. Number 81. YOU MIGHT'VE HELPED TOBY risdfit ’ ■ ' i pHI lliip»P o v . t- - v v »- v >&\.' *%s« \ "' i, 's >iH '-' v- HoUl 1 THIS IS TOBY, hoping to take your mind off the rising mercury with a hearty “thank you” to everyone who contributed to The Children’s Home Society last year. The Society, only state-wide, voluntarily-supported adoption agency in the state, helped 478 children from all parts of North Carolina last year. The Society is a member of the Zebulon United Fund. Adopted as a state project by the Junior Woman’s Clubs of North Carolina six years ago, it is sponsored by the Zebulon Junior Woman’s Club. Lions Smother Rotarian Rally to Win Oak Bucket Zebulon Lions weathered a last inning rally staged by local Ro tarians last Friday night to defeat the Rotary Club, 14-12, when Frank Wall made a Willie Mays catch of Ed Hales’ long fly to save the game for the Lions. Errors were more numerous than hits, as Gilbert Beck and Ralph Talton tied up in what would have been a pitchers’ duel, had there been only half as many errors. Talton struck out eight Lions to take strikeout honors, though he lost the game. Only one fly ball to the outfield was caught by the Rotarians dur ing the game, that by the Rev. Johnny Caldwell in the sixth inn ing. The only way the Rotary team could get the Lions out was by the strikeout route, balls hit to the infield, or catching the Lions running the bases. Hardin Hinton led the Lions at the plate, while Franklin Jones homered and tripled to lead the Rotary nine. Leftfielder George Tucker was the fielding star for the Lions; Eldred Rountree led the Rotarians afield. Umpires for the game, which saw an old oaken bucket awarded Ed Ellington, Franklin Jones Win Tennis Doubles; Singles Postponed Ed Ellington and Franklin Jones won the doubles competition in the local tennis tournament Friday afternoon, July 15, by defeating W. A. Allman and Ed Hales 9-7, 6-3. The final match which de termined the championship was a two-ouf-of-three sets affair. A total of 16 men entered the doubles race in the tournament sponsored by the Zebulon Rotary Club. The eight teams which were paired off by Recreation Director Franklin Jones, fought spiritedly in the mid-summer sun before sin gle-set sudden-death defeats forc ed all but the Ellington-Jones, All man-Hales combination out of the running. After a close first set which Ellington-Jones took, 9-7, the heat the Lions Club for the next year, were H. H. Eddins behind the plate, Rotarians C. V. Whitley and R. Vance Brown at first and second base, and Lion Ray Goddwin at third base. Rotarian Billy Hopkins was the official scorekeeper, but according to his fellow Rotarians, he was too honest to help his club’s cause.

A 6-3 loss to their compete tors assured Ellington and Jones of the doubles crown. Eight Enter Singles In the singles category, eight men entered. W. A. Allman de feated Ed Ellington, 6-4, to reach the semi-finals. A match between Ferd Davis and Ed Hales, with the winner to meet Allman for the champion ship, was postponed because All man was scheduled to leave for Georgia on business, making it impossible for the finals to be played until Allman returns. The match will be played in about a month. Zebulon, N. C., Tuesday, July 19, 1955 Role of Rotary In World Today Told to Members “The Role of Rotary in a World of Tensions” was the theme of an address by Dr. H. Broadus Jones of Wake Forest College, Governor of District 278 of Rotary International, to the Zebulon Ro tary Club last Friday evening. The address was made on the occasion of the district governor’s official visit to the local club and followed a club assembly at 5 o’- clock Friday afternoon. Mrs. Jones, wife of .the district governor, accompanied her hus band, whom she is serving as secretary during the Rotary year. Both Governor and Mrs. Jones participated in the club assembly with officers and members of the local club. “That tension is the cause of most physical and mental diseases, or a powerful contributing cause, is now generally admitted,” Dr. Jones declared. “We live in a world of tensions, against which we must battle for our very lives. He who does not find away to break these tensions and live calm ly in peace of mind lives in peril.” Turning to international ten sions, Dr. Jones asserted that the entire world is imperiled by the tensions that exist today. Fears on international scale grip the na tions, suspicions are rife, and ha treds simmer. “Cold wars,” he said, “make hot heads, diplomatic language is unknown to hot heads, and international bickering reach es the level of street brawls.” Rotary in 92 Countries Rotary clubs in 92 countries and geographical regions throughout the world, the District Governor explained, are united in the effort to promote international under standing, good will and peace. In addition to the activities of Ro tary’s 8,700 clubs within their own communities to promote this objective, Rotary International has spent more than $1,750,000 in re cent years through its program of student fellowships, he con tinued. These fellowships, he states, en able outstanding college graduates to study for one year in countries other than their own, as ambassa dors of good will. These students are among the most valuable en voys abroad, helping other young people to understand us and our way of life, and then returning to help us to understand the people among whom they have lived and worked for a year, Dr. Jones told the group. Since 1947, when this program was established, 709 Rotary fel lowships have been awarded to students in 57 countries. Among (See ROTARY, Page 5) Tobacco Bam Burns Early Sunday Morning An uninsured tobacco curing barn belonging to Bernard Mitchell of Zebulon, Route 4, caught fire about 6:15 Sunday morning and was completely destroyed. The total loss was estimated to be about S9OO. Firemen who answered the call wfere able to kill the blaze in a shed which connected the destroy ed barn with another bam filled with cured tobacco. Cause of the fire is not known, but flames probably started from an oil burner operating in the cur ing bam, firemen said.

Pair Takes Keys, Car; Ride Ends Bottoms Up on Sunday Morning William Perry, 28, Route 4, Zeb ulon, was taken to the hospital early Sunday morning after wreck ing a car belonging to Kenneth Wright, Route 3, Zebulon, on a rural road between Hopkins Chap el and Highway 96. Roscoe Chalk, 26, of Zebulon, Route 4, was also in the car, but did not require hospital attention. According to information which Wright gave to police about 5 a.m. Sunday morning, he, Perry, and Chalk were driving around in Wright’s automobile.

Davis Sons, Publishers Quota Referendum Coming Saturday For Weed Farmers “Age will not prevent votes from being counted in the tobacco ref erendum scheduled for July 23,” Wake County Agent G. W. Miller said yesterday. “We just want to make sure we have a good count when all the votes are in.” Mr. Miller was speaking about the previously announced referen dum to be held at ASC polling centers which will determine just what is in store for tobacco farm ers in North Carolina and adjoin ing states. The County Agent, in stressing the fact that age is no restriction to voting eligibility, pointed out that it is necessary for a farmer to be a tobacco producer. Two-Thirds Majority Needed Flue-cured tobacco growers will reveal their stand in the Tobacco Associates assessment vote and the government’s marketing quota vote. In all these referendums a two-thirds majority is necessary for approval. In the marketing quota referen dum, flue-cured growers will de cide whether crop controls will continue in effect through 1958, or just for 1956, or whether they will be eliminated completely. If farmers favor quotas they will become eligible for government payments on their flue-cured crops at the established 90 per cent of parity support rate, provided they conform to prescribed government regulations in growing their crops. Vote on Assessment In the flue-cured assessment referendum farmers will decide wether or not to assess themselves lOtf per acre of flue-cured tobacco for each crop year through 1958 in order to support Tobacco As sociates, a farmer organization formed in 1947 for the purpose of promoting flue-cured marketing outlets overseas. During its eight years of opera tion, Tobacco Associates has been instrumental in reducing the dam aging effect of increased flue-cured competition abroad and the do mestic consumption decline, two (factors which have ’ contributed predominately to the surplus sit uation, Mr. Miller said. "They have accomplished this through constant contact with im port agencies abroad and with export agencies in this country,” he continued. Chalk allegedly took the car keys from Wright without his permis sion, and drove off in the vehicle. Wright came to the Zebulon po lice station to swear out a warrant against the two men, and while he was there, Patrolman C. R. Wicker arrived and reported the car wrecked on the rural road. Runs into Ditch, Overturns Police reported that Perry ap parently was driving the car and had run it into a ditch, which caused the vehicle to turn over. Pery suffered facial cuts. No charges have been made against Perry, pending his recov ery. Chalk is charged with taking a man’s car and operating it with out his consent.
