In a modern age of highly specialized training and the almost vital necessity of acquaintance with
a vast storehouse of facts and experiences, a public library is a necessary adjunct to community life.
Zebulon has no such facility and the need for the sane is drastic. The establishment of a public library

Wake Red Cross
Drive Extended
The Red Cross Fund Campaign
has been extended another week
according to an announcement
made by Wake County Chapter of
ficials in Raleigh on Monday night.
Willie B. Hopkins, Chairman of
the Rotary Club Committee which
■is directing the Campaign in Zeb
ulon, stated that the Campaign had
been extended in order that every
one might have a chance to give to
the Red Cross.
Tornado Cited
“The recent tornado which hit
several Southern States and left
such severe destruction in its
wake has placed extra burdens
upon the Red Cross. It is estimated
that the Red Cross will need $5,-
000,000 to relieve personal suffer
ing and repair damage to the
homes of the victims of this one
disaster. We are calling on the
people of Wake County to give
$3,000 to help the people in these
stricken areas. In the face of this
new disaster, it is more import
ant than ever that we meet our
quota in this year’s Red Cross
Fund Campaign.”
The quota for Zebulon is S6OO
and on Monday night Mr. Hopkins
reported that $425.00 of this quota
had already been met.
Mrs. Wallace Temple Heads Girl
Scouts' Camping Committee Here
The Area Day Camp Committee
with representatives from Wake
Forest, Wendell, and Zebulon, met
in the home of Mrs. Wallace Tem
ple, Monday, tr formulate plans for
the camp which is to be held at
Lake Mirl from June 24 until Ju
ly 3. Mrs. Sam Young, executive
director of Girl Scouts, of Raleigh
was in charge of the meeting.
All girl scouts from Wendell,
Zebulon and Wake Forest will have
the privilege of attending the day
camp. Rates for the two weeks will
be $4.00 for scouts and $5.00 for
I non scouts.
Theo. Davis Sons, Publishers
poses the dual problem of finance
and policy.
Possible space for the library has
already been located in the Wo
man’s Club building. It is ideally
suited for the purpose in mind and
its expropriation for this use
would in nowise infringe upon the
activities or purposes of the Wo
man’s Club. There is an attractive
outside entrance that opens di
rectly into the space which has
outside steps and a stoop covering.
The interior has a large bay win
dow, a fireplace, hardwood floors,
and has been newly decorated,
both inside and out. One entire
wall is already occupied with
shelves and it will be possible, and
highly desirable, to construct ten
to fifteen feet of five or six tier
ed shelving along a second wall
which is presently occupied by full
length glass doors.
Books Needed
Books of various types must be
collected and purchased through
out the town and outside. (An
adequate campaign for this pur
pose may be organized at the ap
propiiate time.) A filing system
must be established and a method
of lending them formulated. The
bare minimum of furnishings
would include a desk, chair, and,
possibly, one table.
Financial Assistance
The exact amount of financial
assistance necessary to complete
the project can still be only esti
mated, but, under no circum
stances will it be extensive A
great deal of the time, labor and
material initially can be donated
as it will be inexpensive and small
in amount. The insignificant
amount of construction work in
volved will not call for highly
skilled and talented labor.
Advertising Campaign
The aid and assistance of the
local newspaper will be sought
to aid in the necessary advertising
campaign.
As a Committee there have Deen
tentatively appointed, contingent
upon their consent, the following:
Frank Coiner, Edythe Lee Tip
pett, Ruth Massey, Mr. Whitten
ton, Ed Ellington.
The future of the project appears
to be excellent, and its reception
should be of the same nature.
Mrs. Temple, over-all chairman
for the Zebulon area, announces
that there are now five scout troops
in the Zebulon-Wakefield com
muniti s.
Applications Available
Applications to the day camp
will be available for anyone Inter
ested in attending the camp, at
a later date from the scout leaders.
Mrs. Temple requests that that
anyone 21 years old or older in
terested in volunteering their ser
vices to act as lifeguard during
I this time, please contact her.
