THE ZEBULON RECORD Volume XXVII. Number 16. ILO Seeks to Better Child Labor Conditions Until living standards can be improved, millions of Asian chil dren, like the youngster pictured, must work. Meanwhile, the International Labor Organization (ILO), a U.N. specialized agency, seeks to eliminate harmful practices through international action. At present, young people are sometimes sold for their services or given over to contractors on a long-term indenture. Asian countries will soon meet under ILO auspices to discuss measures to abolish such procedures and improve employment conditions for youug workers. IMMORTAL MEMORIES Life of Usefulness Sunday afternoon, November 16th, 1952, Miss Matoka Pace of the Wakefield community, was laid away in her last resting place near her home in the family cem etery where many of her loved ones rest. Their spirits possibly were waiting to greet her over there. She leaves behind memories that will live on She will be missed more than the average one of her community realizes, as her life was one of usefulness. She went where she thought her services were needed and did it without being asked or requested to do so. For many years she was treasur er of the Wakefield Baptist Church doing this work for her church without compensation. Possibly she has stored up fabu lous wealth in the Banks of Para dise to be enjoyed through all eternity. Wages she earned here Resolution by Woman's Club Whereas, in the Providence of God, we have seen the passing of one of our beloved members, Car men Poole Flowers, the Zebulon Woman’s Club desires to express its deep sorrow and to express our sincere sympathy to the members of her family. She was ever alert to the needs of the community and took an active part in all things that were of value to the community. Es- Walter G. Stewart In Naval Maneuvers Participating in training exer cises here aboard the attack car rier USS Tarawa, is Walter G. Stewart, stewardsman, USN, son of Mr. and Mrs. Folce A. Stewart of Newhill. The Tarawa is scheduled to re turn to the United States from the Caribbbean Area in time for the Christmas holidays. laboring for the joy of doing for others. There is a character mentioned in the Bible whose works compares to Miss Matoka’s. Her name was Dorcas. We are told that her life was full of good works and alms deeds. When she died the Apostle Peter was sent for and for the sake of the living, Peter raised her from the dead. We would not ask for Miss Ma toka to be restored to life again in this sorrowful world. She has gone to a place of rest and happi ness that she earned from her labor here. The many beautiful flowers that were contributed to her fu neral speaks a language of ex pression, understanding and sym pathy to her and her loved ones and host of friends she leaves be hind. By Durward D. Chamblee pecially was she actively inter ested in the drives that were ad vanced for the health of the state and nation. She was untiring in her efforts for the advancement of the clean liness and the health of the com munity. She was a devoted and active member of the Woman’s Club and manifested her skill in all that the club undertakes for the welfare and advancement of community affairs. Our club has been greatly en riched by her untiring efforts for the advancement of all civic af fairs undertaken by the club. We as a club shall remember her fondly and shall benefit by the heritage she has left us. Her life was a benediction, her mem ory is a cherished one. May we be inspired to greater community loyalty and service because she lived among us. Committee: Mrs. E. H. Moser Mrs. S. E. Mercer , Mrs. Eugene Privette Zebulon, N. C., Tuesday, November 25, 1952 Delay Is Expected In Construction Os Local Armory The proposed armory site here in Zebulon was accepted by the North Carolina Armory Commis sion at a meeting held last Friday afternoon in Raleigh, and the fifth position on the armory priority list is still held by the local unit, the Adjutant General’s Depart ment said yesterday.
