Zebulon Jaycees learned last Wednesday night that the Wen dell Rescue Squad has been under attack by some citizens of Wen dell and Zebulon. Criticism concerned efficiency of the Squad, and Rescue Squad members answered it at last week’s Jaycee meeting. It was brought out that each member of the rescue team has received professional first aid training and is continuing this training on a “graduate level.’’ The Squad through its own ef forts obtained some $4,000 worth of lifesaving equipment, ranging from the simplest first aid acces sories to the delicate emergency breathing apparatus—resucitator. The resucitator is an emergency measure used to implement breath ing on the youngest child or the most robust adult. Members of the team have equipped their automobiles with radios which are hooked up to the Wendell police radio system. When an emergency call comes in the members rush immediately to the scene of the mishap with their elaborately furnished rescue truck to give first aid and to assist in such things as traffic congestion. The Jaycees learned that each member of the Squad bought and paid for his radio system out of his own pocket. The Jaycees were told of plans to construct a rescue building midway between Wendell and Zeb ulon. This building will be lo cated in the vicinity of Tarpley’s Mill, if enough support is receiv ed from the people of Zebulon. The Squad has plans for pur chasing a modern fully-equipped ambulance to serve the public. They want, too, to enlist men from the Zebulon area to serve with the Squad. Some of the Jaycees were shock ed to leam that the young men have not received full support— moral and otherwise—from local townspeople. The Jaycees voiced their appre ciation to the Squad for its work, and plans are afoot in the club to help the Squad with its future en deavors. Radio Ordered The Town Board has voted to purchase a two-story radio from the State Highway Patrol. This radio will cost $200, and will be installed in the town’s newly ac quired police car. Telephone Equipment Building To Be Completed This Month Southern Bell Telephone Com pany manager, R. U. Beck, said the new addition to Zebulon’s tele phone equipment building is scheduled to be completed De cember 14 and will relieve tele phone needs here. The addition, 863 square feet, was started November 6 by Flythe Construction Co. of Raleigh, and will cost $46,500, including build ing, local and long distance equip ment. Brick veneer is being used to continue the architecture of the existing structure, and when the building is finished necessary landscaping will complete the pro ject. According to Beck, the contrac tor must take added precaution in additions such as this, which are not necessary with completely new buildings, Delicate contacts in the relays and switches as well as other components must be com pletely free of dust to give satis factory service, and the contractor must use plastic sheets and other protective means to shield the equipment from dust when the old walls are tom down.
