THE ZEBULON RECORD
Zebulon, N. C. Friday, May 16, 1952
Entire Community to Be
Taken Into AFC Plans »
At Mass Meeting Here
The entire community will be
taken into the organization pro
moting the five projects entered
by Zebulon in the Finer Carolina
contest on Tuesday night, May 20,
when a mass meeting will be held
in the Wakelon School auditorium,
Chairman Wilbur Debnam of the
Finer Zebulon Steering Committee
announced yesterday.
Plans for the mass meeting were
made Tuesday night at a session
of the Steering Committee held
in the Municipal Building.
The groundwork has been laid
for a successful program, Chair
man Debnam said, and Attorney
Frank Coiner will explain what
has been done and the plans for
the various projects at the mass
meeting.
Suggestions Wanted
Following the presentation by
Coiner, those attending will be
asked for additional suggestions
which may be incorporated in the
plans.
The program for a Finer Zebulon
is a community project, Chairman
Demnam emphasized, and it can
not be accomplished without the
full support of everyone in Zebu
lon and Wakefield.
Much of the program, especially
park improvement, will have to
be done without financial assist
ance from the town. The money
is not available, and it will be ne
cessary for groups and civic organ
izations to sponsor certain parts
of the projects.
Reports Made
At the meeting of the Steering
Committee Tuesday night, attend
ed by Mrs. A. S. Hinton, Norman
Screws, Frank Wall, Ed Hales,
Frank Coiner, and Chairman Deb
nam, reports were made by the
Steering Committee of the project
of beautifying the approaches to
Zebulon, the cemetery, and side
walk improvement.
Poppies to Be Sold
Here by Auxiliary
“Wear a poppy to honor the war
dead and aid war’s living victims.”
This is the appeal that will be
made to everyone in Zebulon by
the American Legion Auxiliary on
Poppy Day, May 24. The local unit
of the American Legion Auxiliary
has received 1,000 poppies which
will be sold on the streets of Zebu
lon on Poppy Day, Mrs. Ralph
Bunn, poppy chairman, has an
nounced.
The chairman has reported that
these handmade poppies are
bought from the hospitalized vet
erans in Fayetteville and will be
sold to the public for contribu
tions which will be used for the
Auxiliary’s work in behalf of dis
abled veterans and needy children
of veterans.
Wakelon Handbook
Now Being Printed
A Student Handbook, prepared
for the guidance of incoming fresh
men and information of the upper
classes, is being printed this week
from copy compiled by the Wake
lon Handbook Committee, headed
by Anne Allman. Other members
of the committee include Alma
Doris Doyle, Becky Brantley, and
Jimmy Joyner.
The book is dedicated to Miss
Irma Walker, “in grateful appre
ciation for the service which she
has rendered to the council in her
advisory capacity.**
Armory Meeting Monday Night
Major General John Hall Manning, Adjutant General of
the State of North Carolina, will meet with the Board of Com
missioners of the Town of Zebulon on Monday night at 8 o’clock
to describe the newly designed armories being constructed for •
National Guard units. The meeting will be held in the court
room of the municipal building. The Board of Commissioners
will take action on securing a site for the proposed armory

Commission Sets Plans
For Summer Recreation
At Meeting Thursday
Plans for the summer recrea
tion program were outlined at a
meeting of the Zebulon Recrea
tion Commission held on Thurs
day. Mr. Ralph Talton was re
elected Chairman of the Recrea
tion Commission. Mrs. Eugene
Privett was elected Secretary and
Mrs. Fred Page was elected Treas
urer.
The Rev. Carlton Mitchell, Dr.
Ben Thomas and Mrs. Ralph Bunn
were appointed as the Summer
Activities Committee. The com
mittee reported that Mr. James
Fish would serve as Recreation
Director for the summer program
again this year.
Softball Program
Plans were outlined for the soft
ball program. It was suggested
that two leagues be operated this
year. The first would be an open
league of four teams without play
er restrictions. The second would
be a “Blooper League” composed
of local civic a"* other groups.
The “Blooper League” would re
quire that all pitches to the bat
ter must arch, thus doing away
with the highly competitive na
ture of the league. Other activities
include a Little League for junior
baseballers, a Girls League and
others as might be needed.
Family Night
The summer program during the
mornings will begin after Vacation
Bible Schools have closed. After
noon swimming and baseball will
be under the direction of Mr.
Fish. The evening program this
year will include games under the
lights installed for that purpose
last year. A Family Night is plan
ned for each week. Saturday night
programs for the teenagers and
others will be continued.
