THE ZEBULON RECORD Volume XXIV. Guard Strength Held Constant; Members Hold Open House In spite of the cutback of sever al hundred men in the North Car olina National Guard, Zebulon’s Battery A will not lose any of its personnel. Sfc. Clifford Gilliam stated Saturday that the local unit has been assured of no reduction and that its strength will remain at 50 men. The battery has three officers at present, and a total of five will be authorized. First Sergeant Sidney Holmes expressed satisfaction over the progress being made by the dif ferent sections. He said it is his belief the battery will be ready ahead of time for the 15-day en campment next summer. The open house held by A Bat tery on Saturday night proved to be very enjoyable to the Guards men, their families, and invited guests. Four color cartoons were shown for the benefit of the chil dren, and a display of arms and equipment was shown for the adults. The jeep was the center of at traction for the children who clambered in and out and over the small vehicle. At one time 15 children were inside and others were yelling for a chance to blow the jeep horn. Small Tim Holmes, son of the battery first sergeant, spent the evening seated on the trail of the howitzer, spinning handles and making like a gunner. The re cruiting sergeant will be around to see him in 15 years. Another open house is planned in six weeks. Commanding Of ficer Barrie Davis stated. He ex pressed his pleasure over the suc cess of the affair Saturday night and said that the enthusiasm of men in the local unit had drawn praises from battalion officers. Zebulon Woodmen Plan Beautification Gordon Temple and Barrie Da vis, the committee named by Con sul Commander Thurman Hepler to report to the W. O. W. camp on a program of beautification for the community, said yesterday that they will report to the next convention of the camp with a plan of action for the approval of the assembled Woodchoppers. In talking over their ideas with citizens of Zebulon, they said, they had found many people who be lieved long leaf pines would be beautiful lining the streets of the town. However, until they have a chance to talk to more people, the committee said, they will not be ready to make their report. When the report receives the approval of Little River Camp, it will be submitted to other civic organizations with a request for their cooperation in putting it in to effect.

Playing without center Hilliard Greene, As a Driving Instructor, Barrie Makes a Good Janitor Once upon a time I not only instructed embryo airmen in how to manipulate Uncle Sam’s fighter planes, but I also showed them certain life-saving and life-taking maneuvers for use in battling members of the Luftwaffe whose acquaintance they were likely to make over the skies of Europe. Under my direction they learned the rudiments of skip-bombing and strafing, with the bellies of their fighters inches off the ground. They trained in dogfights seven miles above the earth. They real ly went through the mill. With such a wealth of experi ence, I felt that teaching the wife Youngsville Takes Cage Zebulon, N.

Judy is a smart gal, and all I would have to do would be to point out the gadgets in the car and how to use them. That made one more time I found out how wrong a guy can be! On a Sunday afternbon we start ed out. First, of course, I pointed out the controls, the clutch, brake, accelerator, steering wheel, start er, etc. Things were going smoothly, until Judy asked for a demonstration.

When I explained how the clutch must be depressed when shifting gears, Judy wasn’t quite sure which pedal was the clutch, so I leaned forward to point it out and— YHUMP! We ran right out of street and into the ditch. After a thorough inspection of the spare tire, windshield wipers, Kleenex dispenser and dome light, I knew no damage had been done. “That,” I said, “goes to show you what happened when the driver’s attention does not stay on the road.” We backed out of the ditch, and (Continued on Page 4) Theo. Davis Sons, Publishers Final Report to Be Made This Week On March of Dimes Over $500.00 has already been collected in the campaign in this community for funds for the March of Dimes, Chairman R. H. Herring stated yesterday. Rev. Herring expressed his belief that the total would reach nearly $700.- 00 before the end of the drive. No goal w r as set for Zebulon this year, the chairman said. Instead of a community - wide goal, he 1 urged everyone to set individual j goal for themselves, contributing i everything that they could to fight infantile paralysis. “We are not in the midst of an epidemic this year,” Chairman Herring said, “an I the need for funds to fight polio is not as ob vious. However, it was only a year or so ago that North Caro lina and this community was call ing on the rest of the nation to help in a battle with the disease which threw fear into all of us.” “At that time,” he continued, “it required far more money to aid in our fight than North Carolina con tributed. There is no way of tell ing when polio will strike again in an epidemic, and the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis must be ready with the money and know-how.” Solicitors are still active in the community, and anyone who has a contribution for the March of Dimes is urged to give it immedi ately.
