Dr. and Mrs. Charles Flowers were dinner guests of Dr. and Mrs. A. C. Bulla in Raleigh Wed nesday night. Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Greenough, Uncle Ferd's Almanac Ninety years ago today there was fighting hot and heavy down on Roanoke Island where you go each summer or two to see “The Lost Colony.” The Yankees were try ing to driv'e the Rebels from the fort on the island, and they suc ceeded, too. Thus the South lost use of the Albemarle ports, and finally the war. Today is the birthday of Mrs. Ju> d Robertson, who is setting a record for good mothers-in-law, to hear her son-in-law tell it. Her name, Margaret, means “a pearl” and Barrie allows that she was aptly named by her mama. On February 8, 1831, there was the coldest weather ever report ed in Florida. The St. John’s River at Jacksonville had ice in it, and up until less than a half century ago some Crackers still reckoned Jr. and son Jack, and Mr. and Mrs. Johnny Duncan of South Norfolk, Va. were weekend guests of Mrs. O.

I don’t know what is the coldest it ever was in Zebulon, but Bernice Bunn says it was the night he ran out of gas between Stancil’s ! Chapel and Emit. Harry Patton and Peggy Spivey ! were married on February 8. This alone should qualify this date as a happy day, but 365 years ago today Mary Queen of Scots left her head on a chopping block, and worse than that, say Sandlappers, William T. (“war is heck”) Sher man was born 132 years ago today. Sherman, Napoleon, and my bob tailed tomcat all had the idea that the dirtier and rougher you fought, the sooner the fight would end and the better for all concern ed. I’m sure they would all three have difficulty understanding the kind of war we are fighting in Ko rea. Zebulon, N. C., Friday February 8, 1952 Legion Post Gets Top Recognition From Department Special recognition was accorded Zebulon Post 33 of the American Legion by both the North Caro lina and National Headquarters for the work of local Legionnaires in exceeding the previous member ship total of Post 33. Awards were made at the regular meeting of the group Wednesday night. The present membership of Post 33 is the highest since it was reorganized four years ago. Last year’s membership was exceeded before November 11, 1951.

State Headquarters awarded the post an Honor Ribbon, and Na tional Headquarters sent a metal chevron for the flag staff. Charlie Hawkins, Ralph Bunn, and Horace Gay were responsible for most of the memberships for 1952. The three Legionnaires were named Go-Getters for their work. Gay signed over 50 members in the recent campaign. A Building and Finance Commit tee was appointed by the Com mander. The group will seek ways and means of securing a perma nent place of meeting for the Zeb ulon post. The members are Pat Farmer, Ed Hales, J. P. Arnold, Thurman Murray, and Melvin Mas sey. The meeting was held at E. P. Privette’s case, where a chicken barbecue dinner was served. Protection Needed For Long Leaf Pines Pine trees of the long leaf variety are being planted on the sidewalks of all the streets in Zebulon. If they have not been planted in front of your house they will be soon. To prevent the pines being pull ed up by children playing, and from being inadverdently trampled, it has been suggested that home owners protect those in front of their homes by placing stobs around them. Their beauty will be evident in a few years, and everyone will be very proud of them. BOYS IN BRUISING BATTLE FOR BALL Ms ■ & We, mm# m wmL, 4 B JHp m m Numerous grappling hands and dirty looks are in evidence as Ben Allen Rhodes (17), Dickie Bullock (10), and Ned Moss (4) wrest the ball from Wendell’s Dan Driver. Bobby Underhill (14) is coming up from the rear. The Wendell White Rams continued their 1951-52 victory string over Wakelon in this game. The Bulldogs meet the Rams again tonight on the Wakelon court.

March of Dimes Nets Over S6OO In Zebulon Drive The total contributions to the March of Dimes through the cam paign in Zebulon and Wakelon School jumped to about $650 yes terday when Manager Wall of Wakelon Theatre reported $51.17 in contributions for the polio fund made by patrons of the theatre. Other contributions not previ ously reported included those made by F. D. Finch and Dr. Chas. E. Flowers directly to the Wake Coun ty March of Dimes, i Not listed among the contributors in Tuesday’s Record was the Wake field Sunday School, which gave $lO to the fund. The campaign total for 1952 is still $l5O less than that given by Zebulon community in 1951, ac cording to Chairman Barrie Davis. Even so, Wake County exceeded its quota of $30,000 and the final county report has not yet been made.

In contrast, the old court room in the water plant was heated by one pot bellied stove, was cold and drafty, and had seats purchased from an old army post theater. Melvin Massey is building the platform for the judge’s desk and chair. Farmer and Hinton At O.P.S.
