THE ZEBULON RECORD Volume XXXV. Number 40. Zebulon, N. C., Thursday, October 27, 1960 Th$o. Davis Sons, Publishers White Elephant Sale Saturday To Aid Library DEMOCRATIC SMILE. Smiling former President Harry S. Truman is seen winding his way through the throng that was here recently to hear the ex-President’s speech before the East Wake County Democratic Rally. Immediately behind the ex-President is Luther H. Hodges, Governor of North Carolina, who was also present for the rally. Tells of European Blue Mold Blue mold has struck a terrible blow to European tobacco farmers during 1960, and losses are esti mated at more than $100,000,000, Furney A. Todd told members of the Zebulon Rotary Club last week. The Extension Plant Pathologist showed color pictures of the heav ily-diseased weed which he made while on a tour of the tobacco areas in Europe. ^ . Blue mold broke out in Europe in October, 1958, first appearing in a greenhouse in Great Britain. In 1959 and 1960 it spread so rapidly that today it has infected all to bacco growing areas. “Many fields I observed had losses of near 100%,” Mr. Todd told the Rotarians. “Damage ap peared to be more extensive in burley than in cigar or flue-cured (V inia type) tobacco.” In addition to the reduction in yield, blue mold greatly reduced leaf quality. Climatic conditions are more favorable to the development and growth of blue mold in the Euro pean tobacco areas than in North Carolina, Mr. Todd said. In North Carolina blue mold strikes at the plant bed, but the weather warms above temperatures favorable to blue mold before tobacco is in the field. In Europe the temperature and humidity remain favorable for blue mold throughout the growing season. Moisture is necessary for blue mold spore germination, he said, and in Europe rains occur fre quently in June and almost every day in July and August. On the other hand, direct sun light will kill the seed-like bodies of blue mold in one hour. With out sunlight they may live for a much longer period of time. West Germany usually has overcast skies or cloudy weather, and plants (Continued on Page 12) I Methodist Youth To Canvass Town The Junior High and Senior MYF’ers of the Zebulon Methodist Church will “Trick or Treat” on Monday night, October 31. But the Halloween observance will not be for apples, candy, cookies or the like. Instead the group will visit house to house and ask for do nations of pennies, dimes, quarters or dollars for the Methodist Com mittee for Overseas Relief. The total amount collected dur ing the door-to-door canvas will be sent to aid refugees of Tibet and the Arab countries. The Overseas Relief program of the Church operates on the small est overhead of any of the relief organizations in the United States. Some of the nationally known re lief agencies spend as much as 48tf of every dollar for administra tion whereas MCOR spends only 64 of every dollar for administra tion of the agency fund. One penny will ship a pound of surplus wheat to any overseas ref ugee camp. A dime will feed a refugee child for a week and one dollar will feed a child and pro vide a quart of milk a day for a month. The Methodist youth will be identified by Arm Bands and per sons are asked not to contribute to anyone canvassing for MCOR unless they wear the Arm Bands which will be stamped by the church and the pastor, the Rev. Bill Quick. The youth will return to the church for refreshments following the canvassing which will begin at 7:30 p.m. School Board Still Active; Has Not Been Disbanded A wild rumor that the board has held only one meeting this school year was refuted this week by Wakelon Principal John J. Hicks. “We have had meetings. There were meetings in August, Septem ber and October,” he said. Principal Hicks said although these meetings may not have oc curred on the regular meeting night, the board has. met often enough to take care of the busi ness of the school. “The board is not required to hold monthly meetings,” Principal Hicks said, “although it is recom mended.” During the program of accredi tation the school recently under went for the elementary school, Principal Hicks said the board met often and long with the program. At the next meeting board of ficers will be elected for the com ing year. News Briefs Ruth Chamblee Show Today (Thursday) Mrs. Cham blee interviews E. C.

The theme of the (Continued on Page 12) Times Editor Says People's General Attitude Changing Clifton Daniel, assistant manag ing editor of The New York Times, says that the Soviet Union has made tremendous progress in the material sense in the last five years. Daniel spent 10 days in Russia tfiis summer. He was the Times correspondent from the Soviet Union five years ago. He said he feels that the Soviet Union is still far, far behind the United States and some other countries in certain vital respects. When he was there this summer, Daniel found the general attitude of the people changed. There is now, he found, considerably more Rotary Members Hold Benefit Sale Saturday White elephants are on the march. And Zebulon Rotarians are marching with them. The march will end at the Ar mory Saturday morning when the white elephants collected by the Rotarians will be put up for sale. All proceeds from the auction will be used for the Community Li brary. Project Chairman Sidney Eddins said that no matter if several hun dred or several thousand dollars is collected the entire proceeds will go to the library. All items will be sold at the sale at absolute auction. According to Some Rotarians the collections to date have been very promising. Eddins said he anticipates a very good day. The local Community Library is in desperate need of expansion, both volume-wise and space-wise. The Library’s future depends on the outcome of- this sale. This is the biggest project the Rotarians have attempted thus far and they are throwing their whole hearts into it. Persons who have some object to give—a white elephant—are asked to call some Rotarian. It will be picked up immediately. freedom to speak, freedom to com municate with foreigners than there was when he was a corre spondent there. He said there was considerably more friendliness toward the West. Improvements in Soviet living standards have risen, too, he said. Of course, they still don’t ap proach ours, which are the high est in the world. He said a lot of building has been done, private building, private homes. The quality and amount of food and clothing has improved to a certain degree. And so have luxuries. Daniel said the United States has sent no correspondent to Red China because our government doesn’t recognize the Red form of government. He said he is sorry there are no correspondents in Red China, “for it might have a vital effect on out future. It is one of the two great leaders of the Communist bloc and the Communist bloc is our great rival and our great competitor and we need to know what the people are doing. We’re not able to know unless we have full and free information from there or the fullest and freest information we can get by sending our own correspondents there.” He said he feels that it was a mistaken idea not to have had correspondents in Red China, “but we didn’t feel as a nation and as a profession that if we did not rec ognize the government and have relations with it we should have correspondents there.” Daniel and his wife, the former Margaret Truman, were in Zebu Ion for the weekend, visiting with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. E. C. Daniel. He was in North Carolina especially for the dedication of the School of Journalism at the Uni versity of North Carolina. He spoke at the dedication on the “Re sponsibilities of the Reporter and Editor.” Daniel is a 1933 graduate of the University’s School of Journalism. While here, Mrs. Ruth Chamblee, director of women’s activities at Radio Station WETC, interviewed Daniel. The taped interview will be played today (Thursday) on the Ruth Chamblee Show. The show is aired from 9:30 to 10:30. BEAUTY AND THE BEAST. The beauty is Joyce Chapman, a Kennedy CiH at the East Wake County Democratic Rally held here recently. The beast is the famous emblem of the Democratic Party, a product of the Jesse W. Bailey farm of Route 1, Zebulon. Seeing that everything is under control is Night Policeman M. C. Crowder.
