Battery A Unit Administrator
(Ed. Note: The North Carolina
National Guard is presently con
ducting a campaign to increase its

concentrated and extensive Re
cruiting drive in its history aimed

The 105-mm howitzer firing sections of Battery A have earned
the reputation of being crack cannoneers. In addition to firing the
weapon, they keep the $27,500.00 howitzer in superior mechanical

are Pvt. Coil D. Perry, son of Mr. and Mrs. Coil J. Perry, Route 2,

of Zebulon; Pfc. Clarence (Spot) Beddingfleld, Zebulon; and Sfc.
Herman Moss, Wendell, who is married to the former Miss Peggy

At the Recruiting Conference
the officers and Enlisted Men who
attended heard very interesting
speeches by Major General John
Hall Manning, Adjutant General
of North Carolina, and Major
General Claude T. Bowers, Com
manding General of the 30th In
fantry Division. Their talks cen
tered around the history of the
National Guard, and the many ad
vantages offered to young men and
veterans who join the National
Guard.
Some of the advantages are, they
can earn, learn and train while at
home and at the same time reduce

enjoy the privilege and feel the

Community Begins
United Fund Drive
Toward $5,500
The Zebulon United Fund Drive
got off to an enthusiastic start
when Harold Bronfin, Field
Director of Carolinas United spoke
to the Group Captains and workers
in the Town Hall Tuesday night.
He told the group that the United
! way of giving is the most economi
cal in time for the solicitors. He
stated that the workers have no
easy job, and that the job de
mands certain fundamental things
which we use in our relationships
from day to day; namely, tact, per
sistence, conviction, and knowing
your story.
Every one of the agencies so
lisited for in the United Fund does
good work and is providing a serv
ice to the commjunity. The agen
ies are here to stay. They’re not
going to leave as long as the need
exists for them, even though some
communities refuse them support.
He stated that we live in a dem
ocratic community and if it is the
will of the people that that these
agencies be supported, then the
drive will succeed. Most people
want the opportunity to give, and
if they are contacted, and given
the chance, they will be happy to.
Give Generously!
Give and give generously when
you are contacted by the workers.
In this way a multitude of drives,
can be done away with. The
workers are giving of their time
and effort, withjio thought of re
numeration, because they believe
I in this method of raising funds for
the benefit of their community.

Students to Arrive
Here on Friday,
Return on Sunday
Many more homes are needed to
care for the foreign students who
will visit Zebulon during the
World Comes to Zebulon weekend
November 4-7. Through yester
day, 24 homes in Zebulon were
planning to care for 37 of the ex
pected 44 foreign students from
the University of North Carolina.
Mrs. Willie B. Hopkins and Mrs.
M. J. Sexton are serving as chair
men from the Baptist and Metho
dist Churches to secure homes
where the students will stay.
The hosts for the students will
be expected to provide breakfast
and dinner on Saturday and Sun
day for the students. A banquet
for hosts and students will be held
Friday night by the Zebulon Lions
and Totary Clubs, and a barbecue
supper will be staged in Davis
armory Saturday night.
The World Comes to Zebulon
project has been endorsed by all
Zebulon civic organizations and by
the School of Public Health of the
University of North Carolina, in
which most of the foreign students
are enrolled.
This is the largest project of its
kind ever attempted, and the only
one in this part of the country. Its
purpose is to promote internation
al understanding by giving both
foreign students and the people
of this community an opportunity
to know and appreciate each oth
er’s way of life through personal
acquaintance.
The students will arrive Friday
afternoon, November 4, and will
return to Chapel Hill after dinner
Sunday, November 6.
