United Fund Campaign
Extended Another Week
The rains came last week, and
United Fund collections were
small. .Therefore, the Fund drive
has been extended through this
week.
President Talton announced that
because of the inclement weather
last week, he and the directors
feel that it is expedient that the
drive be conducted this week if
the Fund is to reach its goal.
He said the group captains re
porting collections said the dona
tions are better than last year, and
more people are contributing than
have in a long time.
“We were hampered last week
because of the rain and ugly wea
ther last week" President Talton
said, “But we hope to complete the
canvassing this week and have a
final report ready for the public
as soon as possible."
The donors and amounts given
will be listed in this paper.
A day’s wages from the em
ployee of each business establish
ment is being solicited by the
Fund representatives.
“We feel that each person should
be able to contribute a day’s wages
to such a worthwhile organization
and for such worthwhile projects,”
Talton said.
There were a number of persons
and families helped by the United
Fund last year that couldn’t have
existed but for the help of the
Fund. The organization also con
tributed to the Boy and Girl
Scouts, the Recreation Commis
sion and other local organiza
tions which needed aid to exist.
The United Fund is not a selfish
organization. Persons or groups
which need justifiable aid are giv
en help when needed.
Zebulon’s United Fund goal for
1956-57 is $6,000.
States Needs
Given Priority
The USDA reports that almost
800 million pounds of this coun
try’s food surplus was donated to
school children and needy persons
in this country and abroad during
"the last half of 1955. —'
In this country, surplus food
went to about 11 million school
children, about 1 million persons
in charitable institutions, 100,000
Indians, and about two and a quar
ter million persons in needy fam
ilies. Altogether, food distributed
to these groups totaled nearly 300
million pounds.
Food given away in this country
is handled through state facili
ties, with the state government
taking full charge and responsi
bility for distribution. Needs in
this country are given priority,
and sufficient quantities are re

National 4-H Day
Nearly 2,156,000 4-H Club boys
and girls will be honored for out
standing accomplishments on Na
tional 4-H Achievement Day, Sat
urday, November 10. Sharing their
recognition will be more than
357,600 men, women and young
people who serve as volunteer lo
cal leaders of about 89,600 clubs
throughout the country.
State 4-H Club Leader L. R. Har
rill says it is hoped that every
county in the nation will observe
this day in a way to bring recog
nition and credit to the 4-H pro
gram. Harrill says that in the past
year many 4-H’ers have complet
ed individual projects in farming,
homemaking, community service,
and other activities.
North Carolina boys and girls
have produced and conserved food,
feed, and fiber; sewed and cooked;
improved and beautified their
homes; made their farms more ef
ficient; stressed personal health and
safety; protected our wildlife; and
cooperated in a wide variety of
community services.
Harrill says these projects have
done much to improve family liv
ing through adding sources of in
come, introducing improved prac
tices, increasing the family food
supply, and conserving valuable
natural resources.
Exercise Your Right
To Vote and Make
Democracy Better
Today is election day!
Whether you are prepared to
vote for Republican, Democratic
or Independent electors, exercise
your right to vote!
Dwight D. Eisenhower and Rich
ard M. Nixon, Republicans seek
ing reelection to the Presidency
and Vice Presidency, are opposed
by Adlai E. Stevenson and Estes.
Kefauver, Democrats.
Local voters will also elect a
slate of state and county offices
headed by Luther H. Hodges, Dem
ocratic Governor seeking reelec
tion. He is opposed by Republican
Kyle Hayes.
Nineteen other state and county
Democratic candidates who won
out in the May 26 Primary are
facing Republican opposition, and
18 Democrats have no opposition.
One Republican, Moses Farmer,
running for Wake County survey
or, has no opposition.
Voting will be in the regular
polling places from 6:30 a.m. to
6:30 p.m.
Everyone who registered in the
new registration during October in
Wake County is eligible to vote.
Approximately 1,400 persons in
Zebulon-Little River precincts reg
istered, entitling them to cast their
ballots in this general election.
U. S. citizens have a fairly good
record in exercising their fran
chise of the right to vote. How
ever, their participation in elec
tions is not as high, percentage
wise, as it is in several other
leading countries of the world.
In the last presidential elec
tion, approximately sixty million
votes were cast. This was better
than fifty per cent of the quali
fied voters of tv country, but tens
of millions of voters could have
voted who refused to go to the polls
in the 1952 presidential election.
Too often it is those who get the
most benefits from government
who do least for it. Too often
those who are helped most are least
capable of appreciating what has
been given them through the gen
erosity and sacrifice of others. Too
I often it is those who will not de
vote sufficient time and energy to
the small task of voting, and who
complain most bitterly about the
outcome of elections and the man
ner in which the country is run.
This is an enlightened age when
