Boy Scouts Not To Tike Part In United Fund Drive This Time Zebulon’s Boy Scouting program will seek no assistance from the 1959-60 United Fund. This announcement was made this week by Armstrong Cannady, district commissioner of the Sa poni District. Cannady said the local scouts will conduct their own campaign to get funds for their program here. Before the scouting program was withdrawn from the United Fund, questionnaires were sent out to friends of scouting. Forty of these questionnaires came back saying get out of the United Fund. Three came back urging them to stay in the agency. Cannady said there is definitely no ill will toward the Fund. The scouting program is grateful for assistance given it over the years. But the scouters feel they can con duct their own fund drive and get the necessary assistance from peo ple of the town who know of and are willing to help support the scouting program here. The proportionate part of the Fund the scouters were to receive is approximately $800. Last year it was $781 and only $450 was raised. It has been necessary each year for the scouts to solicit more money to carry on tueir program. Now, they feel they can conduct their own campaign and raise the necessary monies for their work. Cannady said he is all for the community chest but he is more for scouting. Zebulon has one of the best Bank Teller Is Promoted To Rocky Mount Branch Paul Weeks, popular young tell er of Peoples Bafak and Trust Co. here for the past three and one half years, is being transferred to West Branch bank in the Engle wood section on Highway 64, Rocky Mount.

They have two white troops, one colored, both a white and a colored ex plorer troop and two cub packs. Each troop averages about 20 boys. The Friends of Scouting drive will get underway about Septem ber 28. A dinner will be held in Raleigh this month for Century Club mem bers. Century Club members are persons who give $100 to the scout ing program. Last year Zebulon had only one Century Club mem ber. He was Bernice Bunn. This year 15 persons from Zebulon are prospective members of this club. After the dinner,* which is the kick-off of the drive, there will be a “gifts” for scouting. This will be persons who wish to donate funds for the program. Then will come the general drive. Three hundred persons have been selected to be called on who are prospective givers. Each solicitor will have five names on which to call. This program is to last a week, Cannady said. It is hoped that 90% of the collections will be made the first day. The objective is to raise ap proximately $1,000 for the scouts here this year. All the funds not needed for the support of the local scouting program will be sent to the district office to pay back some of the funds which have helped support the program here for many years. Scouting in Zebulon is the great est it has ever been and plans are for it to become even greater and to make bigger strides. Boys here have been sent to the national jamboree, Camp Durant, to Camp Philmont, Texas, and they have participated in the circuses. The feeling of executives of the council office is that a Friends of Scouting drive is the answer to the money problems facing the con tinuation of the scouting program. Attending the meeting Monday night besides Cannady were Frank Kannon, Dr. B. D. Thomas, Charles Hawkins and Rodney McNabb. Al so present was a representative from the Occoneechee Council of fice.

Former Teacher Heads Lioness Club; Takes Active Civic Part Mrs. Hardin Hinton Her charm engulfs those she meets with a delightful warmth, sincere friendliness, and a deep quality of unselfishness. This is Mrs. Hardin Hinton, newly installed president of the Lioness Club. Mrs. Hinton expressed that she “feels highly honored” to have this important office of the auxiliary of the Lions Club bestowed upon Buck Operates Esso Station M. M. Phillips, better known as Buck, took over the ownership and management of the Esso ser vice station at the comer of Aren dell and Gannon Avenues Satur day, July 25.

He moved to Trenton last Friday af ter completing his work with the summer driver education program here. her. She took the oath of ffice May 27. Ex-Lions President Craf ton Hudson installed her. This ex-school teacher possesses the many necessary attributes a teacher should have: warmth, keen understanding, deep feeling, a freshness of approach and love. She said she thoroughly enjoy ed teaching. It was the only thing she wanted to do, ever. Even when she was a little gils, she would collect her many dolls, or gather together her little friends, and hold “school.” Right now, though, she takes care of her husband, manages two devastatingly handsome and intel ligent children, and runs her home with the utmost efficiency. The switch from teaching to homemaker was not difficult for Mrs. Hinton. She nas the ability to make the best of any situation. And running a home, she has found, has been one of the most pleasant aspects of her woman hood. She enjoys qpoking, and does a modicum of sewing. Her many culinary secrets she gathered from her mother, who is an excellent cook. Chocolate pies are her spec ialty, possibly because they are her family’s favorite dessert. Summer finds her gleaning the many vegetables from her garden and putting them in the freezer. Her family never goes lacking for something to eat. Any variety of garden vegetable can be whisked from the freezer and put on the table to be relished at a moment’s notice. She sews some. Just the neces sary type of sewing—replacing buttons and patching rips and darning. But she doesn’t particu larly care for the needle. Mrs. Hinton’s spare time is used nursing her flowers and shrubbery into healthy and beautiful blos soms and plants. She finds the out of doors quite thrilling and loves to stay out as much as possi ble, often with a spade, hoe or shovel gripped firmly between her hands. She finds little time to sit down to her spinet piano and less time to look at television. At the piano she plays hymns best, she says. But she and her daughter, who is becoming an accomplished clari netist, often play together. Mrs. Hinton’s religious and civ ic work is divided between her church and the Junior Woman’s Club, Lioness Club and PTA. She teaches the Beginners in the Zebulon Baptist Church, of which she is an active member, serves on the Junior Board of Deacons, sings in the soprano section of the chan cel choir, is program chairman of the Mary Kemp Circle of the WMS, and is past leader of the Sunbeam group. She said she thoroughly enjoys (Continued on Page 4) Weather Holds Up Work On The Local Hospital With the great amount of rain and inclement weather, construc tion on the local Wendell-Zebulon Hospital has been held up, accord ing to H. C. Wade, board member of Wake County Hospital Author ity. Wade reported that he doesn’t know too much about the progress being made on the local hospital, having worked more recently with the larger hospital going up near Raleigh. He did report that the steel strike now going on has not af fected the local hospital unit and has not caused a hold up in con struction. He surmised that construction on the local unit has been delayed about two weeks because of the rainy weather, but feels that con struction on the hospital will be finished on the proposed opening date. >
