THE ZEBULON RECORD Volume XXVI. Number 19 OUCHf \ y } ) y y% \ ( trr' i ( Jr l WMITCOMgg JQWES REPORTER There’s an interesting little ru mor floating around Raleigh. It’s to the effect that a certain State senator will present a bill or resi lution in the coming legislature calling for an investigation of the Scott administration. The probe would start with the paroles commission, go to the pris on division, and from there on wherever the fancy might strike. This young senator so the story goes has the idea he will be named head of the investigat ing committee, which he plans to stack with anti-Scott senators. Not that he really expects to find anything, it’s just another harassing move in the Scott-anti- Scott fight. Around Capitol Hill the yarn is causing nothing but chickles. • Speaking of the paroles commis sion brings up the differences be tween Commissioner T. C. Johnson and Acting Assistant Hilda Carpen ter. Seems the Acting Assistant did n’t approve of a lot of things that were going on in the commission: such as the borrowing of office electric fans during the summer; the elevating of, (what to her seemed to be unqualified) certain employees and assignment of a State auto to him; and the way paroles were being given. She even objected to some of the things in Comm. Johnson’s personal file in which she had made herself at home. Well, when you’re top man in an office there’s always away to end such confusion. Cannoneers to Play First Game Against Knightdale Here Tonight The Battery A Cannoneers, man- - aged by long, tall Hilliard Greene, will meet the Knightdale All-Stars tonight at 8:00 in the Wakelon gym in the first game of the sea son for the local semi-pro cagers. No admission will be charged for this game. Joe Tonkel, one of the top court referees in this section, will call the game Jimmy Spivey is secretary for j the Cannoneers, in addition to 1 holding down the right guard posi tion. Last week, Dr. Johnson an nounced that Foil Essick, one of the commission’s oldest and most capable officers, had been named Assistant Commissioner no more need for an Acting Assistant. • A new, likely candidate for gov ernor of North Carolina in 1952 bobbed up in all of the pre-elec tion, love-and-kisses campaigning by warring factions of Tar Hee lia’s Democratic party. He’s Hubert Olive of Lexington. In many respects, his career parallels that of Senator Clyde Hoey. He’s served in both houses of the legislature, and he’s a prom inent Baptist. The Superior Court judge right now is heading a fund raising campaign for Wake Forest College. Bill Umstead of Durham either got off to a running start in the j ’52 for governor sweepstakes, or else was pushed out as a blind by conservative forces of the party. Charlie Johnson proved an early sprinter didn’t always list until the finish. D. Hiden Ramsey, the Asheville (Continued on Page 2) Wakefield Baptists Sponsoring Supper The Wakefield Baptist Church will give their annual Thanksgiv ing Supper on Friday from 5:00 until 8:00 in the Wakelon School ! cafeteria.

Davis Sons, Publishers Masonic Orphanage Asks For Special Assistance In Thanksgiving Offering Thoughts of the large family at the Oxford Orphanage begin to turn towards the Thanksgiving season when thousands of Masons and other friends annually give generously of their means to the welfare of boys and girls who need and so well deserve them. This is of the utmost importance in these young lives. The Oxford Orphanage for three quarters of a century has specializ ed in every phase of properly rear ing orphanaged children. Its con tribution of more than 6,000 well equipped and worthy young men and women to good citizenship is a living testimonial to the import ance and usefulness of the institu tion whose sole object is to serve. The Grand Lodge of Masons owns and operates the Oxford Orphanage, but has never restrict ed its service to the children of Masons. Ninety percent of the children in the institution are of non-Masonic parentage. At Ox ford the question of parentage yields to the need of the child. That is the decisive argument. The need of Orphanages today for greater support is pressing. They must have more money jor else. You know what that means. c Superintendent Gray is forced by circumstances to stress increas ed donations this Thanksgiving. The expense of operating the Ox ford Orphanage has been growing every year and now is at a peak. When one thinks of the multiplic ity of service the institution has to perform, it is enough to open the hearts and purses of benevolent men and women. Here is a partial ’ist of the kinds of service impera (Continued on Page 4) Lions' Collection Os Clothes Is Good Over SI,OOO in used clothing, three bicycles, five tricycles, lots of toys, and 10 radios were collected by the members of the Zebulon Lions Club in their Christmas Drive which began last week.

If it is impossible to bring the of fering to these points, call either place and someone will pick them up. Thomas Smith expressed the Lions Club appreciation for the cooperation that has been given the group by those who have contrib ! uted to the drive already. Lt. Jack Potter, executive offi cer, and First Sergeant Sidney Holmes are directing the training of the firing sections, continuing the work begun last week on ex plaining the procedure for laying the battery. The motor park, which has prov ed too small for the eight vehicles assigned Battery A, will be en larged by Home Builders Corpora tion, Sgt. J. P. Arnold said. The front of the fenced-in area will extend about six feet in front of the water plant building, and will give space for about a dozen vehi cles.
