THE ZEBULON RECORD Volume XXVI. Number 93. R. I. P. By V. I. P. *REST IN PIECES * WOU JAY WALK S|CAFgftL REPORTER On August 1, Dr. Henry Jordan, chairman of the State Highway Commission, celebrated an anni versary. Just 32 years ago August 1, 1919 Doc Henry says “I start ed working for a living.” That living he was earning at that time was through the practice of den tistry. Jordan and a friend, Textile Manufacturer Dave Hall, have the same “beginning working for a living” anniversary. Each year on August 1, one or the other calls or sends a message to the other. First Dollar This year, Doc Jordan picked up the phone, called Hall. After mu tual congratulations, Doc says to Hall: “Dave, I just wanted to tell you that I’ve got the first dollar I ever earned.” “You have!” said Dave, surpris ed. “Yep,” says Doc, “but it took me 32 years to get it back.” Steel Stocks In case you haven’t heard, the Highway Department is in the sal vage business. When new bridges are built, the old ones are disman tled. The steel from these old ones is salvaged and reused thus effecting a considerable sav ing to the State. But, what with Funeral Services Held Yesterday For Mrs. Clarence Chamblee, 70 Funeral services for Mrs. Clar ence H. Chamblee, 70, the former Nannie Sentelle of Waynesville, were held at the Wakefield Bap tist Church near Zebulon Monday afternoon at 2 o’clock, conducted by the pastor, the Rev. Kermit Combs, assisted by Dr. W. R. Cul lom of Wake Forest and the Rev. R. H. Herring and the Rev. T. B. Davis, both of Zebulon. Burial was in the Wakefield Cemetery. The body was placed in the church at 1 o’clock. Mrs. Chamblee died at her home in Waynesville Friday morning after an illness of several months. the current steel shortage, these stockpiles are getting mighty low. Generous Frink From down Southport way comes word of State Senator Bunn Frink’s generosity. The last Legislature authorized or rather, directed that a $200,000 ferry be installed between Southport and Carolina Beach. Senator Frink sponsored the bill calling for this. Well, it seems the generous Mr. Frink has offered to give a slice of his Southport-side land to the Highway Commission for free if they’ll use it for the ferry land ing. Further, it is reported that Frink is putting the pressure on lower echelon Highway Department of ficials to use his property at Hol den’s Beach for one end of a bridge from the mainland. Healthy Decision The State Board of Health fi nally decided the other day that it will build its new Health Building on the northeast corner of Caswell Square. This building —for which $600,000 has been appropriated could have been started two years ago and very probably completed by now except for one thing. Seems that site overlooks some (Continued on Page 4) A brief funeral service was held on Sunday afternoon in the Way , nesville Baptist Church where she was a member.

C., Tuesday, August 7, 1951 Hocutt Now Has New Instrument For Testing Eyes There is no guess-work involv ed in examining the eyes of ap plicants for driver’s licenses, ac cording to Clarence Hocutt. A new Bausch and Lomb Ortho-Rater op tical tester has replaced the old wall chart and enables Examiner Hocutt to test applicants for both vertical and lateral vision, far and distant, and for depth perception and color distinction. Hocutt gave a demonstration of the device Monday morning while examining William David Pearce of Pilot. Following the written ex amination, Pearce was seated in front of the machine. The results of the tests given Pearce were entered on a new card which is sent to Raleigh. Blanks are filled in with informa tion concerning occupation, edu cation, whether glasses are worn, and the ratings scored on each test. Pearce did well on all the tests. While only the test for vision is used at present in determining whether an applicant received his license, Hocutt said that North Carolina State College is using the nfoimation on the cards to check on the effects of partial color blindness, depth perception, and lateral and vertical vision in ac cidents. In addition, accidents by age end educational groups can be tab ulated. Mail Primary Being Conducted by C, C.
