ion at Middlesex. The building

the first of October, according to
Middlesex Mayor Homer Bunn.
Applications from women who
desire employment as sewing ma

Economic Situation Is
Critical Speaker Tells Club
Edmund Aycock, chairman of!
the Central North Carolina , De-!
velopment Association, told Zebu
on Rotarians and guests Friday
light of the need for the people of
jastern North Carolina to work to
gether to help overcome the criti
:al economic situation that has de
veloped.
He pointed out that the economic
.ituation is at a dangerously criti
:al point and that it is up to the
>eople to do something to alle
viate the condition.
“We can’t wait for somebody
:lse to do it for us,” he said. “We
lave got to do it ourselves.”
Aycock cited the condition of
he world's tobacco trade. He said
oreign markets are shying away
rom American markets because
hey can secure cheaper leaf from
narkets in South Africa.
In order to cope with this and
ike situations, Aycock suggested
he area development plan where
by the people of a given area band
together, demanding better qual
ity products and higher prices.
This area development plan orig
inated in northwestern North Car
olina and has proved successful
thus far, according to Aycock.
The plan seeks to develop the fields
of agriculture, industry, recreation
and community life.
Aycock is a native of Wayne
County and attended N. C. State
College and the University of North
Carolina. He was formerly a coun
ty agent of Johnston County and
is now a representative of Wacho
via Bank and Trust Company in
rtaleigh.
Prior to the introduction of the
speaker by Robert Daniel Massey,
Dr. L. M. Massey, past president of 4
the Zebulon Farm Bureau, said
that the farmers are “fighting a
battle of justice” and “fighting for
equality of income.”
