Don't Be A Statistic Say Swimming Instructors Main Drag Gets Asphalt Coating If your jitney seems to ride just a little bit smoother as you travel the main drag of Zebulon, its because of the new resurfacing of that portion of the city’s street. The resurfacing was done July 8 by the State Highway and Public Works Commission. The new black top face of plant mixed asphalt extends from Bar bee Street to Gannon Avenue. The approximate total cost of the 1,735 square feet of paving was $7,326. This portion of street is classi fied as part of the North Carolina I State Highway System Streets. I No Powell Bill Funds were used for this resurfacing. Ted Davis In Summer Drama When the second play of the summer is given by Raleigh Little Theater, a Zebulon native will be acting in one of the leading roles. Ted Davis, news director for Radio Station WRAL, will play the part of the drunk in the forth coming production of Eugene O’ Neill’s only comedy, “Ah, Wilder ness!” | Others in the cast are Nicki Stamey, John Robertson, Neill' Hudson, Clark Crampton, J. B. Jones, Bill Young, Kay Wilson, Linda Capps, Jane .Turner, Doro thy Stowe, Helen Crisp, Becky Penny, Bill Hauser and Charles Broyles. j Raleigh has the only community theater in the state to have a year-round program. The play will be given arena style—where the audience surrounds the stage. “Ah, Wilderness!” opens Mon day night, July 22, and plays through the following Sunday. Curtain time is 8:15. No reser vations are necessary. Considering the expected in crease in population, an increase in vegetable and fruit crops of about 41 per cent will be needed by 1975. List Some Pertinent Facts Summer time is swim time. “It’s one of the most fascinating and enjoyable sports of the sum mer season,” agreed Gayle Pri vette and Peggy Richardson. Both Miss Richardson and Miss Privette are accomplished swim mers and water instructors. But there are some very im portant things one should know about swimming safety, they said. First, investigate unfamiliar waters before swimming in them, advise these young lady in structors. If possible, talk with someone who is familiar with your contemplated swimming area. And obey any warning signs posted in the area. Be sure you know the limits of your swimming ability and do not exceed them. Too many per sons feel their ability is far greater than it actually is. Avoid the temptation of being a clown in the water. This is one water safety rule that should be followed. Stunts and showing off may rate cheers from the crowd, but watch out for making accident news headlines as a tragic aftermath. Diving takes real skill and caution, they warn. First find out whether the water is deep enough and whether hidden rocks, sub merged crags and sand bars are lurking beneath the surface to produce a hazardous diving area. Ninety per cent of the drown ings this summer will occur in unsupervised waters. Use swim ming areas that have the protec tion of life guards whenever possible. A buddy system when you are swimming is a good idea, say Gayle and Peggy. If each swim mer selects a friend who is a good swimmer to watch and be watched by, there is far less chance of either swimmer getting into trouble. Night dips can be dangerous for swimming fans. Despite the moon light splendor of the hour or the romantic aspect, even when you are in a group, you can end up as a statistic in the “drowned” listings if you are not careful. Approximately 7,000 persons will die across the nation this (Continued on Page 9) Doctor Discounts Rumor Of Asiatic Influenza Dr. Durwood Stallings, Jr. has i discounted the rumor that Asiatic flu has been found among his patients. “The rumor is untrue,” the doctor said. He reported that he has doctored more patients this summer with influenza than in the past, but so far as he is able to determine none has had Asiatic influenza. He said medical authorities have made no clean-cut diagnoses be tween Asiatic and common in fluenza. “Summer influenza seems to be more prevalent this season,” Dr. Stallings said. He added that the influenza suffering patients of his “seem to be sicker but get over the ill ness quicker.” He said influenza that is com mon now keeps the patient ill for approximately 36 hours. According to men of science Asiatic flu carries a high fever and runs its course in about 36 hours. Dr. Stallings admitted that many of his influenza patients carried high temperatures. “Doctors see flu every summer,” he said. “Flu I have seen this summer is about the same type of thing. I see very little dif ference.” According to Wake County medical authorities no cases of Asiatic flu have been reported in the county.
