The Grass Is Greener Zebulon and Wendell have long been rivals for the business found in this section, and the rivalry has caused both towns to progress. Like any two towns of like size located only four miles apart, the competition between them is found everywhere from the first graders in the schools to businesses and businessmen. It has kept both towns from sleeping at the switch, and today there are few places in the state which can compare in friendliness, beau ty, and progressiveness with the east-Wake communities. Now, however, Zebulon and Wendell face competition more severe than that provided by each other. They face the competition offered by Raleigh, Durham, and other nearby cities which, through aggressive promotions, adver tising, and salesmanship work eagerly to attract the patron age of small town buyers. It’s a hard fact that business lost to Raleigh or Durham is much harder to regain than that which goes to Wendell or Zebulon. It’s time to face this fact. Telephone lines which make possible toll-free calls be tween Zebulon and Wendell will do much to further cooper ation between the two communities, and this opportunity to advance the mutual interests of Zebulon and Wendell should not be missed. The establishment of the Wendell- Zebulon Radio Company, nearer every day, will be another tie between the towns. It is only a matter of time before there will be a single east-Wake County trade area rather than two separate and distinct Wendell and Zebulon trade areas. The customers living here recognize this now. The merchants are coming to see it. We do not want to see either Zebulon or Wendell slow or stop their efforts to attract business, but we do want to see them increase their community-wide promotions design ed to keep home folks at home to do their buying. That’s too big a job for a single merchant or a small group. That’s a Chamber of Commerce project and should be treated as such. It’s good to attract industry to bring more money into our communities. It’s also good to insure that local pay rolls are spent at home. Howdy, Mr. Jones The job of superintending the operation of Wakelon School is a big and complicated one, and the person who holds that position has little time for anything else. The constant problems which must be solved, the multitude of events which must be coordinated, the plan ning which is necessary, and the continuous demands for time and energy Always keep the superintendent from get ting out and meeting parents and others in the community as they would like him to do. This summer the Zebulon community has an opportunity to get to know Franklin Jones through personal contact, for he is serving as director of the summer program spon sored by the Zebulon Recreation Commission. With his en thusiasm and boundless energy, we are assured an active program; and, even better, we will get to know and appre ciate Mr. Jones as a person as well as a school leader. His appointment works doubly for the good of the community.

The line was busy. He recog nized his mother chatting to a friend. That was fine. He could tell her to hang up. “Mom.” Jesse broke in, “hang up. I’m playing bingo.” His mother’s voice came back to him, clear and sweet. “That’s all right son. Go right ahead.” And his mother began her conversation to her friend where she left it off. Jesse waited, listened again. The woman’s voice droned on. He listened again, and again, and the chatter was increasing its tempo. Needless to say, Jesse did not make the call and therefore lost the valuable prize he would have won.
