A glass block panel, like the tile sur faces and wainscoting, can be kept spotless with the mere swipe of a damp cloth. A “daylighted” splashboard, this panel of transluscent glass block also cuts off a close-up view of a neighboring house, does not frost or steam up and never needs painting. It's decorative, too! Summer Training of National Guard Ends with Return Home Monday Sunburned and hardened by eighteen days of the most inten sive training ever given National Guardsmen during summer en campments, fifty-two officers and men of Battery A, 113th Field Ar tillery Battalion, rolled into Zfebu lon at 8 o’clock yesterday morn ing from Fort McClellan, Alaba ma, where the Zebulon battery participated in field training with the remainder of the famed 30th Infantry Division. The local Guardsmen left the armory on Vance Street in Zebulon on Aug ust 17. The performance of the men was termed “excellent” by Regular Ar my observers who witnessed the training. Severely handicapped by the small number of men in the battery, the Zebulon Guardsmen doubled up when necessary to complete their mission successful ly. Four Days in Field Four days and three nights were spent in the Alabama foothills for the field problem. Beset by Ag gressor forces attempting to invade their positions by night and by the 105-degree Alabama sun and stif ling dust in the day, Battery A was always ready to deliver accurate fire with its three 105-mm howit zers whenever needed. During the four days in the field, the local unit fired over SIO,OOO worth of ammunition. For his work as head of the Bat tery A mess section, which provid ed food for Battery A during the entire 18 days with only five men including the driver, Sfc. Percy Parrish received a personal com- Lions Softball Tourney To Begin Here Tonight The second annual Zebulon Lions Club Invitational Tournament will begin tonight at 7:30 on the local athletic field with Pearces meet- C.

Commendations were given also to Cpl. Jack Tippett and Pfc. Don ald Fowler for their initiative and work during the encampment. On the trip down to the Alabama post, Cpl. Tippett demonstrated outstanding ability as driver for the first firing section. On Saturday night, August 18, he drove for 65 miles without any lights when his generator failed so that the firing section could arrive in Athens, Ga., with the rest of the convoy. Donald Fowler Pfc. Donald Fowler, cook-driver for the mess section, worked full time as second cook in addition to his duties as driver. In addition to his duties with the mess section, he volunteered for extra details whenever needed. First Sergeant Sidney Holmes, veteran of 18 years service with the National Guard and army, de scribed the men in the battery as “the best bunch of men I have ever seen.” Sgt. Holmes was a ma jor factor in the successful en campment for Battery A. A Pur ple Heart artillery veteran of World War 11, his experience and knowledge meant much to the Guardsmen. Night Occupation Highlights during the two weeks included a night occupation on August 23. the four-day field ex ercises, the parade Friday, August 31, and pay call. The pay roll for the eighteen days for the Zebulon Guardsmen was nearly $4,500.00, according to Lt. Dave Finch, pay officer. The firing sections, commanded by Sfc. Carl Kemp, Sfc. Rudolph Liles, and Sfc. Frank Massey, were commended for their work in fir ing over 300 rounds of ammuni tion without mishap. Lt. Jack Pot ter, battery executive officer, was in direct command of the firing 1 sections. Other officers with the battery were Lt. Dave Finch and Lt. : George Hinds, assistant executive * officers, and Captain Barrie Davis. i LEGION TO MEET ' , The American Legion will meet . Wednesday night at the Woman’s ;! Clubhouse at 7:30. A good attend | ance is urged. Zebulon, N. C., Tuesday, Sept. 4, 1951 Olin Broadway Is Speaker at Local Rotary Meeting Rotary Clubs in 83 countries throughout the world are united in an endeavor to promote interna tional understanding, good will and peace, declared Olin H. Broad way of Henderson, Governor of District 278 of Rotary Internation al, in addressing the Rotary Club of Zebulon Friday, prior to a con ference with local Rotary offi cers, directors, and committee chairmen. In addition to the activities of Rotary’s 7.364 Clubs in their own communities to promote this ob jective, Mr. Broadway, introduced to Zebulon Rotarians by President Howard Beck, explained, over a six-year period Rotary Interna tional is spending $1,500,000, prin cipally to create better under standing among the people of dif ferent -nations. One of the ways in which this money is being spent is on Rot ary Foundation Fellowships, which enable outstanding graduate stu dents to study for one year, in countries other than their own, as ambassadors of good will. Since this program was established in 1947, 284 Fellowships have been awarded ton students in 42 coun tries, with grapts totaling more than $700,000. “Our 278th District Rotary In ternational has developed a Stu dent Exchange Program sponsored and financed by the more than 1500 Rotarians in the district. This provides for under graduate stu dents of other countries to be able to study for one year in our district to learn more of the social, eco nomic, and educational life of our country. This provided an avenue that other countries might have a better understanding of our way of life and particularly in this age group. This year Herbert Thum of Germany will study at Elon Col lege and Michael Berger of France will study at Atlantic Christian College. Our Student Exchange Committee has been very active in accomplishing the above”, Mr. Broadway continued. Rotarians have a particular op portunity to spread the Rotary ideals in their everyday contact, he declared. In their own trades and professional groups, the 4-way test provides one definite answer to high standards in business.

Davis Sons, Publishers Tennessee Solon Writes of Crime In United States Senator Estes Kefauver of Tennessee, chairman of the Senate Crime Investigation Committee, has written his findings for release to the Amer ican people. The Record has purchased local rights to this series, which will appear dur ing the next three months. By Sen. Estes Kefauver Ordinarily, Americans don’t think much about the existence and influence of organized crime. They know vaguely that it is there, and they let it go at that. For some years, however since the days when I was a young law yer in Tennessee I had been troubled by the unpleasant realiza tion that there was a tie-up be tween crime and politics. The idea stayed with me when I became a member of the senate in January, 1949. More and more I was concerned with the phenom enon of politico-criminal corrup tion. Early in 1950, an accumulation of events high-lighted the desper ate need for learning the real facts about crime in America. The American Municipal association, alarmed by the effects of interstate crime operations on local govern ments, called for federal conside ration of the problem. Newspapers —and the free press is one of our democracy’s most potent weapons were making startling disclo sures about the power of mod ern crimesters, the white-collar successors to the A1 Capones of an earlier era. Birth of Committee I felt the time had come to dem onstrate that there is nothing the American people cannot overcome if they know the facts. So I took the issue to the senate floor by introducing a bill calling for a fullscale senate investigation of crime in interstate commerce. Af ter a long and difficult fight the senate crime committee formal ly known as the special commit tee to investigate organized crime in interstate commerce was born. As chairman, I was extremely fortunate in having the backing of four able colleagues. These were Sen. Robert R. O’Conor, Democrat, of Maryland, to whom I turned over chairmanship of the commit tee last May when I felt the time had come for me to step down; Sen. Lester C. Hunt, Democrat, of Wyoming, whose great gift for common sense and arriving at sound decisions contributed much stability to our deliberations; Sen. Alexander Wiley, Republican, of Wisconsin, and that remarkable moral battler, Sen. Charles W. To bey, Republican, of New Hamp shire. Serving on the crime commit tee was a tremendous emotional experience for all of us. For me, it became more than merely a committee appointment: it became away of life. Almost everything conceivable happened; in San Francisco, someone stole my hat in the federal courthouse; in Los An geles, a youngster grabbed me in the courthouse corridor as I walked past a telephone booth and asked me to say a word to “Mom.” Our first hearing was conduct (Continued on Page 4)
