THE ZEBULON RECORD Volume XXX. Number 92. Zebulon, N. C., Thursday, January 23, 1958 Theo. Davis Sons, Publishers COLONEL DAVID HARDEE Wakelon P-T Association Hears Civil Defense Head Col. David L. Hardee, Wake County Civil Defense director, spoke to the Wakelon School PTA on Monday night. Col. Hardee said he believes that we are giving too much at tention to the educational aspect of civil defense and not enough to the practical side of the pro gram. “We are being given too much knowledge and not enough parti cular things to do,” he said. The civil defense director said we know what the world situation is. He added that he does not believe increasing the size of the bombs will double the explosive effect. Col. Hardee told the small audi ence that if the city of Raleigh is hit with an air strike, Zebulon would get some of the fall-out. At first the radius of fall-out was 11 miles. Now it has been in creased to a radius of 20 miles, he said. “In case of such an atomic at tack,” he said, “if you want to be safe go to Middlesex, Bailey or points in Johnston County.” He told of highways which will be reserved for military and civil defense control purposes. U. S. 1 and 15-A are reserved for mili tary and civil defense purposes. U. S. 70 to Durham is off limits as airport and Durham are target areas. U. S. 64 East and the Poole Road are in the center of the heaviest radioactive fall-out and should be avoided. Vance, Granville, Durham, Chat ham and Cumberland counties are off limits, in case of an attack. Nash, Edgecombe, Wilson and Pitt counties will be in the area of heaviest radioactive fall-out. Ze bulon, Wendell and Nashville are in the area of the supposed heaviest fall-out and may be de clared off-limits. Col. Hardee said that Wilmington is the only city east of Raleigh which has been declared a target area.

Civic, Charitable Projects Keep Her Days Busy A day in the life of Zebuloh’s “Community Woman of the Year” for 1957 goes something like this: up bright and early seeing to the needs of her two farms, sending greeting cards to those having birthdays, anniversaries or who are ill, visiting the sick and shut-in^ attending some church function, planning for one of the many civic organizations she belongs to, at tending a funeral, shopping, and catching up on the local community happenings to be written for her weekly newspaper column. Mrs. Vera Rhodes, who has been named Zebulon’s ‘‘Community Wo man of the Year” for 1957, leads 1 one of the most active lives of any woman in North Carolina. “I love being busy,” she said. “I wouldn’t be happy just staying home. Besides, I don’t like to keep house. I don’t have time.” Mrs. Rhodes is called the good Samaritan of her community. But she doesn’t limit her acts of good ness to the scope of her own area. She carries tt->em into any com munity in wL. n she sees the need. Mrs. Rhodes is the third child of 15 children bom to the late Edwards Walter Hood and Alice Mahalia Robertson Hood. Her mother, now in her late seventies, is still very active for a woman her age. Only eleven of the chil dren lived to reach adulthod, seven boys and four girls.

Mrs. Daughtridge spoke to the club Monday night, Jan. 13, on color in flower arranging. The meeting was held in the home of Mrs. Norman Screws, a club mem ber. “Color is the fourth dimension in an arrangement,” Mrs. Daugh tridge said. “Without color, an arrangement does not have life or zip.” She said there is color, no mat ter how little, in all plant life. “Color has to be used with know-how,” she said. “It is good only if it helps an arrangement. It can also be very dangerous.” Grouping color in an arrange ment is one of the most important aspects in flower arranging, the speaker said. Use a transition when arranging, blending one col or into another. She told the club members that lighting must be taken into con sideration when arrangements are made. Some colors black-out and others fade away when used under artifical lighting. “Always plan a definite color (Continued on Page 5)
