ZION, 111, January 2.—Wilbur Glenn Voliva, overseer of Zion, has an- nounced that he had purchesed the old Zion printing and , publishing plant.

With its purchase, the only one of the original Zion industries left in the hands of outsiders is a lace fac- tory. Voliva announced he would try to repurchase that also. with the wet and dry issue.
