Davis Sons, Publishers 68 Types of Home Improvement Projects Completed in Supervised Farming Contest Sixty-eight different types of home improvement projects were 1 completed in the Supervised Farm ing Contest, sponsored by the Zebulon Rotary Club for the Wakelon Future Farmers of Amer ica. The contest was staged to en courage improved farming meth ods, and, according to Wakelon ag riculture teacher Paul Dew, the contest accomplished its purpose. Two winners were recognized from each high school class, with trophies awarded first place win ners and personalized notebooks second place winners. In addition, the Zebulon Lions Club presented a $25 savings bond to the chapter winner. Joseph Temple, son of Mr. May Ion Temple, was first place win ner; and Carlton Debnam, son of Mr. and Mrs. Charlie Debnam, was second place winner in the senior class. Junior winners were Franklin Eddins, son of Mr. and Mrs. Her man Eddins; and Johnny Long, son of Mrs. Durwood Richardson. In the sophomore class, winners were Lawrence Creech, son of Mr. and Mrs. Clem Creech; and Bar ry Brannon, son of Mr. and Mrs. W. W. Brannon. Freshman winners were Johnny Broughton, son of Mr. and Mrs. Wiley Broughton; and Roy Pearce, son of Mr. and Mrs. James H. Pearce. The projects were scored on ac complishments in five areas. Scope of projects, including crops and livestock, could give 15 points. Ownership provided 20 points. Im proved practices carried 30 points; home and farm improvements, 20 points; and earnings, savings, and investments in farming, 15 points. The scope of the projects in cluded supplementary farnrp jobs, production projects, and improve ment jobs, which ranged from re pairing equipment and facilities to building hog feeders, and hog houses, and installing plumbing. Practices were graded to de termine whether hybrid seed were used, pastures were seeded at proper time, sows bred at proper time, and approved cultural prac tices employed. Johnny Broughton, the ninth grade chapter winner, engaged in a variety of projects. He has a sow and five pigs now, and recent ly sold six of his pigs. He plans to show the sow at the N. C. Barrow Show in Raleigh in August. In addition, he has an acre of com and a half-acre pasture. For his hogs, he carried out a vaccina tion, disease, and sanitation pro gram.

The 100-block of Arendell Ave nue will be roDed off for the dance which will begin at 8 o’clock. There will be dancing of all types and everybody is invited to come out and participate. “We are planning a very ambi tious summer program,” Miss Gayle Privette said. Miss Privette was named head of the summer recreational pro gram at the last meeting of the Recreation Commission. She has helped with summer recreation programs in Zebulon in the past, and the Commission feels they are fortunate in having a local person in charge of the summer pro gram. She will be paid $60 a week. Assisting Miss Privette will be Billy Castleberry. He is a native of Archers Lodge community, and is a rising senior at N. C. State College. Next June he will receive a degree in rural recreation. His salary will be proportionate enough to cover his expenses. The summer program here will not be on as large a scale as in the past, Miss Privette said, due to the lack of funds. But she assured the public that it will be varied and well-rounded as can be possible. She stated there will be no soft ball league this summer. This well liked part of the summer program ' will be absent due to the fact that the baseball field will have no lighting facilities. Lighting facilities for such a program necessitates having the ’lights adjusted for softball play. The lights now are fixed for foot ball, and it would cost a goodly sum — approximately $100 — to get them adjusted for softball play ing purposes. There will be a girls’ softball team. This sport has been quite popular in the past summers, and there is hope that one will be able ; to be held this summer. Midget baseball is to be one of the leading programs. Now plans ! are being made for at least one j game of midget league baseball a | week. All boys interested are to \ (Continued on Page 7) Major Thomas Completes Mass Casualties Course Maj. Ben D.

Bragg, two members of the local National Guard 113th Field Artillery Bat talion were declared winners of the singles and doubles horse shoe pitching contests.
