Humiliated by last year’s campaign, which resulted in col lections of only SSOO, the heads of the community organizations who compose the Community Council pledged their wholehearted sup port of the Community Chest this year, and expressed confidence that the $2,400 goal can be at tained. The meeting, held in the Muni cipal Building, was attended by over 20 organization heads and several visitors. The Rev. Carlton Mitchell, chairman of the Com munity Council, presided. After the chairman had called the meeting to order and introduc ed the business which was to be covered, Ralph Talton made a mo tion that the council serve in an advisory capacity to the Commun ity Chest, and the motion was car ried without opposition. During the discussion of the Community Chest budget, which amounted to $2,200 as submitted by the * Board of Directors of Community Chest, the Rev. S. E. Mercer expressed the senttment of the groups that $lB5 alloted t 6 local welfare emergency cases was inadequate. The need of additional funds for the child lunch pro gram at both the white and Ne gro schools was brought to the attention of the group by Princi pal W. R. Whittenton of Wakelon School, and the school head made a motion to include S2OO in the Joe Melton Now Serving In Korea Pvt. Joe Melton, Jr., whose pa rents live in Middlesex, N. C., re cently arrived in Korea and has been serving with X Corps. A tactical command between divisional and Army level, X Corps is one of three corps in the combat zone. Special units attached to it perform duties for some or all of the combat organizations under its command. Private Melton has been assign ed as a cannoneer with Battery B of the 623rd Field Artillery Bat talion. He entered the Army last March and was stationed at Camp Chaffee, Ark., before his assign ment overseas. Community Chest budget for lunches for indigent children. The motion passed unanimously bring ing the budget to $2,400. Included in the agencies partici pating in the Zebulon Commun ity Chest are the Boy Scouts, Girl Ecouts, local Scouting, Recreation including the Teenage Club, sum mer activities, and equipment and supplies, local welfare emergency cases, indigent child lunch pro gram, and the United Defense Fund. Agencies Named Chairman Mitchell went into great detail explaining the vari ous agencies participating and their needs. The allotment given the Sc muting program is determin ed by the number of Scouts in this community and the population and is computed by the Councils which govern the Scouts in this area. The Zebulon share, it was pointed out, is smaller than that of any other incorporated town in Wake Coun ty. Total funds allotted to Scout ing are SBIO. The Recreation Commission, which operated under a deficit during the past summer, gained a more liberal allotment of the Com munity Chest funds. The Teenage Club was granted $l5O in the budget, the summer activities pro gram will receive S6OO, and $250 was scheduled for recreation equipment and supplies. Emergency Cases Local welfare emergency cases will receive $lB5, if the goal of $2,400 for the Chest is reached. Willie B. Hopkins stated that last year less than SIOO was spent for emergency cases, but this did not include several generous conrtibu tions of groceries and cash made after Community Chest funds were exhausted. The aid to the indigent child lunch program, suggested by Prin cipal Whittenton, was listed at S2OO. This will mark the first year the Community Chest has assisted in this work. Members of the Community Council felt that crop failures on many farms in the Wakeion and Shepard School dis tricts will cause a greater load on the free lunch program than al lotted funds will care for. Princi pal Whittenton will supervise the spending of the lunch money. The United Defense Fund, which includes six organizations, was al lotted $205 in the budget. Most of the funds will go to support the USO which serves those in service. Zebulon, N.
