THE ZEBULON RECORD Volume XXVI. Number 104. Alabama Is Not So Bad When You Are In North Carolina! The roughest summer encamp ment in the history of North Car olina National Guardsmen failed to dampen the enthusiasm of the men of Zebulon’s Battery A, who this week settled into the regular routine of weekly drills and be gan preparation for active duty training next summer. With equipment cleaned and packed away, the local Guardsmen have only their memories of the success ful two weeks to remind them of the dusty Alabama foothills. Included in the memories and the stories about the trip to Ft. Mc- Clellen was Cpl. Jack Tippett’s fete in driving for four hours through darkness without any lights on his truck so that the men with him would arrive in Athens with the rest of the con voy. Sgt. John Clark hung out the rear of Tippette’s truck with a flashlight to signal the truck be hind when Cpl. Tippett applied his brakes. 42 Hours without Rest And there was the work of the mess section, which worked 18 hours a day preparing food for the artillerymen. Up at three in the morning, Sfc.

For 42 hours the mess section worked without rest. Besides Sfc. Parrish, the mess section is made up of Sgt. George Massey, Pfc. Max Williams, Pfc. Philip Williams, and Pfc. Donald Fowler.

Harris and Col. Shepard, who paid the Zebulon unit a visit. Sgt. J. P. Arnold thrilled the Guardsmen with a beautiful re ligious solo during one songfest in the battery day room. Sgt. Arnold also sang in the talented all- Guardsmen choir which sang for Sunday services in the Ft. McClel lan chapel. Applauded in the Divisional am ateur show were Cpl. Kenneth Hopkins, Cpl. Berry Barham, and Sgt. Hilliard Greene. Although none of the men of Battery A won prizes, Cpl. Hopkins at the pia no acompanied the baritone who walked off with first place. And Braxton Creech stopped the show by leading his imaginary dog a round. The name of Atlanta reminds the Guardsmen of the young man who collected canteens in a large pail, took them to his house and filled them with well water, and then returned them to the hot and (Continued on Page 2) POSTPONED The meeting of the Zebu lon Woman’s Club has been postponed and will be held Tuesday, September 25, at 3:45, Mrs. A.
