THE ZEBULON RECORD Volume XXX. Number 49. * Zebulon, N. C., Friday, March 23, 1956 Theo. Davis Sons, Publishers Wendell Vet Technician Presented Chevy Truck Highlight of a meeting of the Wake Breeders Cooperative, Inc», was the presentation of a new truck by Wallace White of the Universal Chevrolet Company of Wendell to the Cooperative Tech nician, Ralph Baugh. This was the fourth truck furnished by Mr. White. The growing work of the Coop erative was stressed at the annual meeting. D. C. Worth, secretary, announc ed that 1,311 cows were bred in Wake County artificially last year. He stated that this brings the total to 7,863 cows bred artificially since the program began in Wake Coun ty in 1949. W. B. Franks, president of the group, stated that the Cooperative has an excellent program for dai rymen and single cow owners in Wake County. Semen used in the breeding pro gram is purchased from the Amer ican Breeders Service in Carmel, Indiana, and is flown to Charlotte where it is distributed throughout North Carolina. Bulls employed have all been proven to transmit production be fore they are put into the stud. This year the conception rate has been close to 70 percent, which is about a 5 percent increase over last year. Reason the service is as good for a one cow owner as a dairyman is that a one cow owner can get the same service as a dai ryman by calling the Technician, Ralph Baugh, at Wendell 2041 or Raleigh 38007. At the present time semen is available for Jersey, Guernsey, Brown Swiss, and Black Angus breeds. The Board of Directors voted to take on Hereford semen in the near future. Carlton Blalock, Extension Dairy Specialist, told those at the annual meeting that the average bull in the stud in which the semen was received cost $7,500.00 before he could be used. He further stated that use of frozen semen was con tinuing to be studied and there is a possibility that it may be used. The annual meeting this year is reported one of the best ever held j in Wake County. | Wendell Principal New NCEA Head i | H. Douglas Hall, Wendell School i principal, was elected president of the Wake County Unit of the North Carolina Education Association at the meeting of the unit held in Wendell last Thursday night. He succeeds Principal E. N. Farnell of Fuquay as head of the organiza tion, which has over 400 teachers as members. Mrs. Elwood Perry of Zebulon, a teacher in the Wendell High School, was elected secretary of the unit at the same meeting, and Mrs. Doris Privette, Wakelon commer cial teacher, was named treasurer. Miss Helen Wells, N.C.E.A. Field Secretary, spoke at the coun ty meeting on “Professional Eth ics,” before more than 250 mem bers. Wendell faculty members presented a short play on the theme. RECEIVES PIN FOR ACHIEVEMENTS Spurgeon L. Hagwood (right), Universal Chevrolet Co., Inc., Wendell, receives from I. X. Sarvis, assistant general sales manager of Chevrolet, a diamond pin emblematic of his retail selling achieve ments. He was among 48 top Chevrolet salesmen in the nation who | were taken to Detroit by the company for a two-day entertainment program climaxed by a gala banquet celebrating record-breaking 1955 sales. Many of the salesmen attending the event sold more than a million dollars worth of automobiles last year. The entire group, the company estimated, accounted for a staggering $40,000,000 in automotive business. Explorer Scout's Booth Hottest At Exposition The following letter was sent to the Record by Armstrong F. Cannady, Explorer Scout Advisor, in explanation of the unfortunate accidents which occurred to these Zebulon scouts during the Exposi tion at Raleigh last Saturday. Dear Readers: In order that you know first hand about the misfortune of the Explorer Scouts of Zebulon at the 1956 Scout Exposition, this is the story. Being the leader of the group, I believe it is unjust for people to exaggerate the accident of the boys who worked so hard and spent so much of their time freely so that the community of Zebulon would be well repre ented in the council. I myself heard numerous accounts of the accident by people who did not even go to the Exposition, and not one of the comments was true or complimen tary of our boys. There is a true story of heroism to be told about the day that as yet has not been mentioned. The fire was the second bad. luck of the day for the Explorers of Zebulon at the Exposition. Post No. 540 of Zebulon had planned for our booth a sun dial with the use of flood lights to simulate the sun placed at different angles in the both and forcused on a rustic sun dial made of sand and twigs on the floor of the boot!.. By turning on only one of the lights at a time we could demonstrate how the time on the face of the clock changes as the sun moves from east to west during the day. We had heard the loud speaker blast out several times during the morning asking the electrician report, but we didn’t know why they wanted him. We found out when we plugged in our flood lights at $1.85 each. There were (See SCOUTS, Page 5) Bobby Alford 'Week' Leader Bobby Alford, a 1940 graduate of Wakelon school, was recently honored by being elected Printing Week chairman in Charlotte.

Record to Present Holy Week Series For the week preceeding Easter The Zebulon Record will feature an unusual series of character sketches of some of the great personalities connected with the events of Holy Week. Each of the character sketches will be accompanied by an artist’s pen sketch. Author and artist of the series is the Rev. Howard W. Ellis who was on the threshold of a pro mising career in commercial art when he made his decision to enter the ministry. A Methodist minister, now con nected with the Board of Evenge lism of the Methodist Church, he continued his art study at the Chicago Art Institute and the American Academy of Art as well as his theological training at Gar rett Biblical Institute.
