BUICK FROM STEM TO STERN
| •, ~**"*"** '""* * *""****'
This sturdy looking bumper and grille combination graces the front
•nd of the complete line of 1950 Buick automobiles. Other distinctive fea
tures are the full taper-through front fenders, wrap-around bumpers with
bomb-shaped bumper guards housing the parking light and direction signal
Indicators in front, and back-up lights in the rear, and identifying name
plates on the front fenders. The cars have completely new bodies, and a
new and more powerful engine is under the graceful hood of the new
Super sedan shown above.
Left-overs Make Problem
For Refrigerator Owner
I wonder if other couples have
the same trouble with left-overs
that Judy and I experience. When
we purchased our refrigerator, we
decided to look to future needs
and get one large enough for sev
eral increases in the size of the
family. An 11-foot refrigerator
would serve the purpose perfect
ly, we thought.
The first time we looked inside,
it seemed that, that refrigerator
was the emptiest thing man had
ever created. Except for a pound
of butter and a dozen eggs, the
shelves were bare. We wondered
how and when they would be
filled.
We don’t wonder about such
things any more, because every
one of these shelves is littered with
little bowls of this and small dabs
of that. It’s food too good to
throw away, and yet not enough
for a serving.
Frequent meals of brunswick
stew and hash help solve the
problem, but not entirely. The
left-overs are gaining on us and
it may be that we’ll have to pur
chase another refrigerator to hold
them all.
How come Monday mornings
Rotarians Hear Housing Problems,
Suggestion for Community Council
Members of the Zebulon Rotary
Club devoted the regular program
time to business last Friday night,
much to the relief of Barrie Da
vis, who was to speak as a sub
stitute for Ferd Davis, home sick
in bed with influenza. The
problem of meals, maintenance of
the Woman’s Club house, and sev
eral other matters occupied the at
tention of the members.
The Rotarians decided to pur
chase some needed utensils for
the club kitchen, and appointed
members of the club service com
mittee to supervise the buying.
The problem of the maintenance
of the club house occupied most
of the time. Members of the Rot
ary Club brought out the problems
encountered by the Senior Wom
an’s Club, telling of the Scout
and youth organizations which use
the building without charge. The
Senior Woman’s Club is the own
er of the building, having purch
ased it years ago.
have to roll around so often. I
dread them like nothing else. By
Tuesday I’m getting in the swing
of the week’s work, and Wednes
day and Thursday I’m so busy I
don’t have time to think about
anything else. Friday and Satur
day I don’t mind working because
I’m figuring out how to spend
Sunday afternoon (usually at
home). But Mondays turn up so
often they spoil the routine.
I’m dosing myself with anti—
histamine tablets four times daily
according to the directions on the
bottle. If all the magazine arti
cles are true, a cold should not
come within a half mile of me.
Flu hit me last November and sev
eral could have occupied me since
then but none in the two weeks
I have been dosing myself. I
can’t say definitely that the an
ti-histamine pills are d< ing their
job, but I am afraid to stop
taking them because they might
be.
If these little tablets work as
they are supposed to work, then
I’ll be satisfied. If they keep me
from missing one day from work,
a full winter’s supply will be paid
for.
President Willie B. Hopkins ap
pointed the Directors of the Rot
ary Club as a committee to meet
with the Senior Woman’s Club in
February to discuss the problem
with them.
Rev. Carlton Mitchell suggested
a Community Council composed of
the presidents of the civic organi
zations, the Woman’s Clubs, the
pastors of the churches, and the
heads of the Masons, Eastern Star,
Woodmen of the World, and other
groups, which would direct the
activities of the different organi
zations in community activities,
eliminating duplication of services
and efforts.
Rev. R. H. Herring gave his re
port for the March of Dimes. He
lauded the Lions Club for the
contribution they were making in
the campaign, and suggested that
the Rotary Club could do some
thing along the same line. The
weather, he said, had hindered the
efforts of his solicitors.

March of Dimes Drive
Making Good Progress,
Says Chairman Herring
The March of Dimes campaign
im making favorable progress, ac
cording to Rev. R. H. Herring,
chairman of the drive. People in
the community are realizing the
need of funds to fight the crippling
disease and are contributing liber
ally, he added.
Jimmy Wiggs, manager of
Wakelon Theatre, says that the
1959 March of Dimes trailer,
“More than Ever Before,” star
ring June Allyson, is being shown
each night through January 30
at the Wakelon Theatre.
The film trailer is a graphic
and gripping portrayal of how the
contributed funds of the American
people are used to combat out
breaks of infantile paralysis. In
i
four minutes of running time, the
heart - rending story is told
of how polio strikes its unsuspect
ing victims and how the county
chapters of the National Founda
tion for Infantile Paralysis finance
prompt care and treatment to end
the story on a note of hope for
recovered health.
The theatre manager said that
contributions are being collected
for the local campaign at the
theatre, and he estimated that
through Monday over $75.00 was
received.
Although no quota or goal for
Zebulon has been set, Chairman
Herring said, his solicitors are
making an effort to raise a record
amount of money. He urged
contributions of dollars, rather
than pennies and dimes.
Organization Meeting
For Legion to Be Tonight
A short meeting will be held
tonight at 7:30 in the Theo. Da
vis Sons office to select a name
and temporary officers for the
proposed American Legion Post
for Zebulon. Enough applications
have been received for the local
post to make application for a
temporary charter, and Legion
headquarters in Raleigh have
promised to issue a charter
promptly as soon as an applica
tion is received.
First membership applications
were received from Carl Matheny,
Thurman Hepler, Frank Massey,
Gordon Temple, Carl Kemp, Ferd
Davis, Patrick O. Farmer, Ralph
Bunn, Raymond Massey, and Bar
rie Davis.
The post will be named in hon
or of some veteran for this com
munity who lost his life in the re
cent conflict. Since the only
business will be selecting two of
ficers and a name, the meeting will
last only 15 minutes.
WOW Gimp to Meet
On Wednesday Night
Little River Camp of the Wood
men of the World will hold its
regular meeting Wednesday night,
January 25, according to Consul
Commander Thurman Hepler. He
urged all Woodchoppeds to be pres
ent to that plans for the coming
year may be discussed.
Financial Secretary Claud Dunn
asked that members of the camp
turn in names of persons who are
interested in joining the frater
nity so that District Representative
R. N. Hood may contact them.
