Any landowner, operator, ten ant, or sharecropper who has a conservation problem which can’t be met with his own resources may request the county committee to provide a share of the cost of needed conservation practices that are in the Wake County Agricul tural Conservation Program. The 1959 fall practices are: seeding permanent pasture or hay, additional vegetative cover in crop rotation, liming materials on farmland, forestry practices, per manent pasture or hay improve ment, farm ponds, sod waterways, contour stripcropping, winter cover crop, and fescue in crop rotation. N. C. Job Picture Heavy rains have caused a good bit of damage to fields of tobacco where the land was low and held water, but generally most fields have drained fairly well and the crops have improved and show promise of a good harvest in the Wake area. The tobacco harvest is speeding up and the peak should be reached for this county next week for most areas. Demand for primers is exceeding the supply in many instances. Other harvesting help seems adequate to the demand at present. Watermelon harvest reached its peak last week with quality gen erally high. Debnam Estate Inventory Filed M. T.

Community Library Gets Allocation For Librarian From New Town Board Radio Men Speak To Rotary Club Bob Stephenson, manager of Ra dio Station WETC, told the Zebu Ion Rotarians that the new station fills a community need and that the time will come when the Wen dell-Zebulon community will wonder how it managed so long without a radio station. His re marks were made at the regular Wednesday night Rotary meeting. The speaker was introduced by Barrie Davis, editor of the Zebu Ion Record, who urged support of the new enterprise. Stephenson, 29, brought wide ex perience to the Zebulon station. He worked with his father in Radio Station WFVG at Fuquay, studied radio at the University of North Carolina and Grantham’s Institute of Electronics in Hollywood, and worked as engineer-copy writer for WKIX, Raleigh. He related the problems the Wendell-Zebulon Radio Company had to solve to obtain a desirable frequency, 540 kilocycles, and the present-day problem of attracting qualified personnel in a small community to operate the station. Programming, he said, will in clude a great deal of music and news—the things most listeners today want most from radio. The station manager is married, and with his wife and 16-months old son lives in Wendell. Another guest at the meeting was Harry Stephenson, Bob’s bro ther, who works with WETC as engineer-salesman. A graduate of Atlantic Christian College, he al so attended Chenier Radio and Business College in Texas, Mit chell College, Campbell College, and N. C. State College. He was in the Signal Corps in service. Married to the former Bobbie Henderson, HaTry has a son and lives in Cary. The new town government has given the community library a shot in the arm. The life-giving shot is the allo cation of $480 for the purpose of employing a librarian. According to an official source close to the library, an experienced librarian has been recommended. No word has been received ot the recommended person’s decision. Mrs. Raymond Pippin, Wakelon School librarian who has worked closely with the local city library, has been in conference with Miss Clyde Smith, Olivia Raney libra ry head. Mrs. Pippin said Miss Smith said the local library would be able to work in conjunction with the Raleigh library if someone would be responsible for the books loaned. In case plans are completed for the working together of the two libraries, books from the Raleigh library will be loaned for an in definite period. Funds from the National Libra ry Service Act, passed by Congress four years ago, service the auxil iary libraries. Only two libraries in Wake County are serviced with these funds now. They are Wen dell and Fuquay-Springs. The employment of a librarian for the community library will mean the library will stay open at least two days each week for a total of three hours each day. On days when the Wake County bookmobile comes to Zebulon, the librarians of the bookmobile will help the local librarian with su pervisory and classification details. Many books are over-due and library workers are anxious to have these books returned. Legion Auxiliary members, who give the library its greatest sup port, hope the new program will begin around the first of August. When the Auxiliary approached the town government for funds, the mayor and members of the commission were enthusiastically in favor of helping the local li brary. After 29 Years Mrs. Philip Massey Retires After spending 29 years in the class room, Mrs. Philip Massey has retired. The enforced retire ment is because of her health. She is an asthmatic victim. Mrs. Massey spent the past 12 years on the faculty of Corinth Holders School in Johnston Coun ty. She taught the fourth and fifth grades generally. This quiet, unassuming teacher is a native of Olive Chapel near Apex. She is the daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. D. W. Maynard. She has two sisters and one bro ther. Mrs. Massey comes from a fam ily of teachers. She never had another idea entering any other profession. After graduation from Cary High School she entered Meredith College. When she had completed two and one half years of college work she began teaching. During the following years she took extension college work and has the equivalent of a college de gree. She loves teaching. It has giv en her great satisfaction. The molding of characters in the young has been one of her greatest as sets. She says it is always pleas ant to have former students come back and tell her what she has meant to them. Other counties Mrs. Massey has taught in have been Gaston, For syth and Wake. If her health Improves she plans to re-enter the teaching profession. She is going to stay out a year and guard her health, hoping she im proves sufficiently so she can go back into the class room. Her hobby is vegetable garden ing. Her garden hasn’t been so good this year because she has not been able to work in it like she would have liked. In the vegeta ble garden she can “work off her troubles.” For many years she has not been active in the civic organiza tions of the town. She is a former member of the Woman’s Club and hopes eventually to return to this organization. She belongs to Zebulon Bap tist Church and is a member of the Bessie Davis Sunday School Class. She hopes, too, to do more work for the church. Mrs. Massey and her husband reside on East Sycamore Street. They are the parents of one child, a daughter, Ann, now Mrs. Hay wood Snell of Morehead City. There are four grandchildren.
