I Consumption of Milk On Increase in Schools The special school milk program appears to be spurring the con sumption of fluid milk by school youngsters. At least that’s the case in at least three North Carolina schools, says Dewey H. Hennessee, State College extension dairy mar keting specialist. Hennessee says that the program, designed to increase the consumption of milk by children by causing it to be available to the children at reduced price, has been effective in reducing prices of milk to students in Burlington, Raleigh, and Durham schools. The U. S. Department of Agri culture surveyed these schools re cently and found that in Burling ton and Raleigh, prices were re duced from five cents per half pint to three cents per half pint in the two-year period from Octo ber 1953 to October 1955. The price covering the same period in Dur ham was reduced from seven cents per half pint to four cents per half pint. Consumption in the same schools showed substantial increases. Bur lington school had the largest in crease with 39 per cent. The in crease for Durham was 35 per cent; and Raleigh, 27 per cent. The three school systems increased con sumption by 148,000 half pints. Court Docket Still Remains Overly Crowded Judge Irby Gill presided over Recorder’s Court of April 25.

Sixteen tables were in play dur ing the evening hours. Two were played during the afternoon. There is approximately $20 more to be made to clear the debt the club incurred. The cost of landscaping the ar mory ground was approximately $350. Congregation Votes To Accept Church Site; Pro 201, Con 35 VA Adopts Protection Set Up for Patients Veterans Administration re leased a progress report on its in tensified program of providing pro tection against fire for sick and disabled veterans who are patients in VA hospitals. Engaging in the most concerted “patient protection” program in the history 6f the agency, the VA in recent years has equipped or is now equipping hundreds of build ings in its older hospital plants with such protective features as automatic sprinkler systems, stair well enclosures, fire escapes, fire doors smoke barriers, and fire alarm systems. By the end of the current fis cal year (June 30, 1956), VA said it will have completed con struction on 35 or more major protection projects, with an esti mated construction cost of nearly $2,000,000. Construction is underway on another 53 projects estimated to cost a little more than $4,000,000. The construction costs involved in these projects exceed the total amounts expended for this type of “patient protection” in all the pre ceding years since the establish ment of the VA. The VA program of automatic sprinkler installation in the current program is acknowl edged by the sprinkler industry to be one of the largest of its kind in the history of the industry. The matter of providing protec tion for patients is an integral part of VA’s hospital replacement pro gram whereby modern, fire-resist ive structures have replaced older hospitals and temporary hospitals taken over from the Armed Forces after World War II. About 31,000 beds have been provided in the 61 new VA hos (See VA ADOPTS, Page 4) The congregation of the Zebulon Baptist Church voted Sunday to accept the site for the future home of the church. The vote taken revealed 201 per sons were in favor of accepting the proposal and 35 against it. The Future Development Com mittee of the church decided in 1954-55 that the church’s physical plant was desperately in need of expansion. It was recommended by some of the committee to purchase adjacent property, while others recommended a relocation project at a more desirable place. The possibility of expanding on the present location was investi gated and it was found that the overall cost of securing the ad jacent properties would be in the ne ghborhood of $60,000. The com mittee felt this to be a prohibitive price. The possibility of relocation was then investigated, and it was de cided that the vicinity of the Bell property would be the most desira ble in the light of the trend of the center of the church population | moving more in that direction. A preliminary investigation with (See CHURCH, Page 4) Candidate Opens Headquarters State Senator James M. Poyner of Raleigh yesterday announced that he will formally open his campaign headquarters at 215 South Salisbury Street, a building formerly occupied by the Commer cial Printing Company, this after noon (Thursday) at 3 o’clock. In his bid for a second term in the State Senate representing Wake County, Senator Poyner also announced the appointment of Mrs. Elizabeth G. Poole, his private sec retary for the past several years, as his campaign office manager. Mrs. Poole will be assisted by several volunteer workers who will keep the headquarters open daily from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. LETTER TO THE EDITOR Local Church Might Well Be Used for a Hospital Now, since the Baptist folks in Zebulon have made tentative plans to build a larger building, that leaves the question of what to do with the present church house unanswered. There will be besides the land a big pile of brick and timber to be used in some way. A prominent member of the church made a survey of equip ment and furnishings of the pres ent plant and said he estimates the original cost at about $40,000. This should bring the value of the whole to around $100,000 — a big sum if a practical use could be made of it. A suggestion comes from a mem ber of the church that when the Baptists move, the town of Zebulon should buy the building and lot and convert the plant into a com munity hospital. This could be done without a great deal of extra cost. Perhaps Wake County would a vail itself of this opportunity of providing its clinic for Eastern Wake County at a minimum of cost and a maximum of value. Anyway, the idea is worth considering. It seems such a course would please both the Baptists and other citizens of this part of Wake County. At any rate, the suggestion seems to be a good one, and many of our people would be happy if it was adopted and carried to com pletion. Let’s all give thought to this sug gestion. A Reader
