Two
Congratulations
This Sunday the Zebulon Methodists will mark an im
portant milestone in their progress when they dedicate their
beautiful church building on the corner of Gannon Avenue
and Church Street. An excellent program has been planned
and the members of the Methodist Church have extended
an invitation to the rest of the community to join with
them on this important occasion.
We salute the Methodists on the successful comple
tion of a large undertaking. A community is never strong
er than its churches, and the energy and enthusiasm of the
Methodist congregation and the beauty of their church build
ing prove an inspiration to all of us to make our religion
a bigger part of our daily lives.
Help with Our National Defense
t
Preparing for our national defense is an expensive
undertaking and all of us are interested in making our
dollars go further. This is one reason why the National
Guard, composed of citizen-soldiers who devote a part
of their time to military training, appeals to economy-mind
ed citizens. For only a fraction of the cost of a full-time
army, we maintain a ready force trained to defend our na
tion whenever and wherever needed.
Is our National Guard good? It is bound to be! With
a history older than any other component of our defense
force, including the Army and Navy, National Guards
men have participated in every major military action in
which the United States has engaged. Today National
Guard units are fighting hard and well against our com
munist foes in Korea.
The better trained and manned our National Guard,
the smaller we can keep our regular Army, even in these
trying days, and the fewer men we will have to draft.
An important phase of training for Guardsmen is the
15 days spent in maneuvers during the summer, when the
training period received through fifty weeks of armory
training is put to test and the individual units learn to
Wife jfJ
cooperate their efforts with those of the entire division.
This year the men of Battery A, Zebulon’s own National
Guard unit, will go with the 30th Infantry Division to Ft.
McClellan, Alabama, for field training. It is a large, hard
journey; but a necessary one to complete the training of
the Guardsmen.
Each employer can give valuable assistance to our
country by making it possible for all employees who are
in the National Guard to go to Ft. McClellan in August.
This can be done by establishing liberal military leave
poicies for the National Guardsmen. Thousands of busi
ness firms throughout the nation, large and small, have al
ready done so. The security of our country depends upon
employers establishing such a policy.
This is a serious matter. Actually it involves the fu
ture defense of our county, the future of Zebulon, just as
much as it involves the fighting in Korea and any attempt
ed aggression in Europe or the Middle East.
National Guardsmen give their time because they are
patriotic. Employers can prove their patriotism by urging
their employees to attend summer camp. The truth of the
matter is, helping the National Guard take its full mem
bership to camp this August is not only patriotism it is
good business very good business.

Dedicated Sunday

forts for the new church would be
complete without a word about the
vigorous labors of the faithful wo
men of the church. By the la
bors of their hands as well as by
personal contributions they rais
ed many thousands of dollars for
furnishing and equipping the
sanctuary and other parts of the
church.

hopes to serve the community in a
more effective way.
The pastor and congregation
realize that the cooperation and
assistance of members of other

members of any church has been
very valuable and deep apprecia

tire community. A very cordial in
vitation to the community to at
tend the dedication is extended.

by the pastor but a fuller and more
accurate history of the church has
been prepared by Mrs. A. R. House
and will be presented by A. R.
House at the afternoon session of
the dedication service on June 24.
THIS, THAT &
THE OTHER
(Continued from Page 1)
ting others as they managed to
swing back to the right side of
the road. There was the boy who
looked one way, then rolled his
bicycle straight into the road just
ahead of us, while Ferd success
fully strove to stop before touch
ing him, when he looked up, eyes
and mouth both stretched wide
open. There was the man who,
seeming to look nowhere, drove
straight for the highway just a
head of us, but who was arous
ed by a frantic horn in time to
help us miss him. Then there was
the man in a pick-up who was
driving steadily toward us in the
rain and plumb on our side of
the road even near the edge of
the paving. He, too, seemed amaz
ed when Ferd with horn and
brakes once more avoided trouble.
My husband remarked it was a
good time for an accident, but
there really is no good time for
one. All of us felt nerve-strain
except nine-months-old Susan
who knows rn+hing of danger or of
leekless driving, and to whom each
car was an added attraction.
Being one of these persons whose
skin is easily irritated, I never
entered into the feelings of lat
>er day sun worshippers; never
saw any sense in lying out on a
blanket or quilt in the sun to ac
quire a tan that a few hours work
in garden or field would have
supplied as a bonus; never admir
ed the deep brown that so many
think looks fashionable and vir
ile. My position got slightly lone
some at times; but now the doc
tors are saying that excessive
sunburn is a potent cause of skin
cancer, and that we’d better pro
tect ourselves from too much of it.
Who knows? We may be on the
road that leads back to sunbonnets
and long gloves.
