Pictured is H. V. Andrews, Jr., compositor for Theo Davis Sons, as
he casts a line of type on the Ludlow machine. This machine casts all
the large type used in advertisements and headlines in The Zebulon
Record, and replaces the age-old system of hand-setting all type not
set on the linotype machine. By using such modern equipment, a
printer can produce better work at lower prices, provided he main
tains a high volume of business.

Community Needs Small
Hospital, Howard Beck
Tells Rotarians Friday
“The greatest need in Zebulon
today,” said Howard Beck before
the Zebulon Rotary Club Friday
night, “is a clinic or small hospi
tal to facilitate medical treatment
for the sick and injured in our
community.”
Dr. Ben Thomas also spoke
briefly on the need of a clinic and
brought a sketch of the type of
structure which would be suitable
for Zebulon.
“This clinic,” Dr. Thomas said,
j “can be staffed by one or two
! doctors. The cost will not be over
$40,000.” A building similar to
the one presented by Dr. Thomas
is now under construction in Rose
boro.
After the Rotarians discussed
how best this clinic for Zebulon
could be brought into reality, a
seven-man committee was named
by President Raleigh Alford to
study the proposal and plan for
its building and operation.
T of pages by a shortage of labor and
; newsprint, but with the arrival of
new machinery, it is now possible
|to give the present eight-page
edition.
This subscription campaign is
possible because the Record is
[ printed on colored poster paper,,
which Theo. Davis Sons has man
aged to purchase. The poster pa
, per costs double the price of white
newsprint, but without it, the
Record would be held to four pag
es weekly and the circulation
would be frozen.
Prizes and liberal cash bonuses
will be awarded to those who send
in the largest number of new
subscriptions each month from
Zebulon and each of the four
routes. Another monthly prize
will be awarded to the person
sending in the largest number of
subscriptions, no matter where
they are from. At the end of the
contest in September, a grand
prize will be awarded to the per
son who has sent in the largest
number of subscriptions during
the summer.
Each person sending in as many
as five new subscriptions during
any month will receive a generous
cash bonus. In this way everyone
who enters the contest will be
able to earn extra money during
the summer months.
Anyone can enter the contest by
sending in two new subscriptions.
At the end of each month the
prizes will be awarded and a new
contest begun.
Old Men Hustle Enough
To Get 13-9 Decision
Over Local Boy Scouts
The Zebulon Rotarians had two
big innings in which 12 runs were
scored as they topped the Boy
Scouts, 13-9, in the first game of
the season for both teams. The
game was called at the end of the
fifth inning because the Rotarians
had to return to work.
(That was the story the Rotari
ans told, anyhow.)
Behind the curve-ball pitching
of Bobby Bridgers, the Scouts
went into a 6-1 lead in the second
inning, lost it when the Rotarians
scored six runs in the third, and
then went ahead again, 8-7, in

Local Man Available
To Give Examinations
For Drivers' Licenses
Clarence Hocutt, Zebulon man
who serves the State Department
of Motor Vehicles as an examiner
of applicants for drivers’ licenses,
expects to be a busy man, come
July 1, when many of the autoists
in the state must reapply for their
license.
Hocutt, who is in the town of
fice every Saturday to examine
would-be drivers for their knowl
edge and driving abiilty, gives the
following information:
In accordance with the law pass
ed by the 1947 General Assembly
of North Carolina requiring the re
issuance of Motor Vehicle driver
licenses, the following schedule has
been made: the period beginning
July 1, 1947, and ending on De
cember 31, 1947, is the time for all
driver license holders, whose sur
names begin with the letters A or
B to apply for new licenses. Per
sons whose names do not begin
with one of the above letters can
not apply for reissuance of license
in this period.
The period beginning January 1,
1948, and ending on June 30, 1948,
will be the time for all operators
whose sur-names begin with either
of the letters C or D to apply for
re-issuance of licenses. All Motor
Vehicle drivers whose sur-names
begin with a letter other than A,
B, C, or D will be notified by press
releases at the proper time as to
when they should appear for the
re-examination.
The operator’s license issued un
der the 1947 Safety Act shall auto
matically expire on the birthday
of the licensee in the fourth year
following the year of issuance, and
no license shall be issued to any
operator after the expiration of
his license until such operator has
again passed the required examin
ation.
New Tests Prescribed
By Law Are Divided
Into Four Classes
Everyone will get a complete
examination. The examination is
made up of four parts. These parts
are: (1) An Eye test (2) Highway
Sign test (3) Driving Rules test
(4) Road test.
•The poorest visual reading that
will permit passing with glasses is
20-50. This may be with both eyes
together, or it may be with best
eye alone. The Sign test consists
of the showing to the apnlicant
several pictures containing High
way warning signs. The applicant
will be requested to tell what a
driver should do when he comes
to such a sign. Inability to read is
not grounds for denyfng a driver
license.
The Rule section of the exam
ination consists of twenty-five
simple questions that deal with the
safe operation of a motor vehicle.
The Road test will consist of a
