THE ZEBULON RECORD Volume XXVII. Number 19. Hales Accepting «p« c I* " Finer Carolina i Entry Suggestions Ed Hales, chairman of the Finer Carolina Steering Committee in Zebulon, said yesterday that he is contacting those he hopes will serve as project chairmen and committee members for the work during the coming year. He ex pects to release a complete list of the six project committees next week. Suggestions for projects to be attempted by Zebulon should be given Chairman Hales immedi ately, since the deadline for com munity entries is December 15. One of the ix projects to be at tempted will be earned out by the colored community, Chairman 1 Hales said. The second Finer Carolina con test, which began November 1, will continue through December 31, 1953. Six projects may be entered, but the nrmber must be cut to five by July 1953, according to the rules set up by Carolina Power and Light Company. Two ambitious undertakings have already been recommended to Chairman Hales-The first.is a community swimming pool, and | the second is a community recrea tion building, both to be built at the park. i Mario Doane Featured In State Prison Show Central Prison Varieties, featur ing Mario Daone and His Rhythm Masters, will be presented in the Wakelon auditorium on Friday night, December 19, at 8 o’clock by the Wakelon Parent-Teacher As sociation.

Elizabeth Cary Agassiz was born I 134 years ago today. She married Louis Agassiz, the eminent nat uralist 1850, and opened up a ! girls’ school in Boston in 1856, using her considerable profits therefrom to finance her husband’s butterfly expeditions to Brazil and wherever else he took a notion to go. Mrs. Agassiz became in 1894 the president of Radcliffe College, which is a sort of ladies’ annex to Harvard. She served the school j for eight years, and turned out ed- i ucated young ladies by the dozen, many of whom became college pro- \ fessors of great intellectual attain ments. Today not all Radcliffe graduates are intellectual, but I have never seen one who was not good looking. John Quincy Adams, the sixth president of the United States, re turned to Washington as a member of Congress 121 years ago today, and served for 17 years thereaf ter as a member from Masachu setts. He was 64 years old at the time, four years younger than President Truman is today. FARM BUREAU TO MEET Officers for the coming year will be named at the Zebulon Farm Bureau meeting Monday night, December 8. In addition, a very interesting program and a multitude of prizes will be given away. The meeting begins at 7:30. ; For the ladies in the Auxiliary, a program in the Home Economics building has been prepared with a program given by a representa tive of the Dairy Council who will talk on “Foods for the Holiday Sea son.” The motion picture is acclaimed as one of the best on farming in North Carolina. Sponsored by Sin clair Refining Company, it features j land improvement. • Officers who will be elected in- j elude a president, vice-president, secretary, treasurer and directors. Gifts will be given to everyone who attends the meeting, and a drawing will be held for over SSO in prizes with every member of the family eligible. Seven Top Singing Groups to Be Here i Saturday night seven of the top singing groups in North Carolina i will appear on the Wakelon stage i in an All Night Sing, staged by , the Zebulon Lions Club to raise funds for their work with the blind in Wake County. The show will start at 8 o’clock and will continue until after midnight. A previous Sing, held Septem ber 6, played to a packed house and many had to be turned away for lack of room. Tickets may be purchased from members of the Lions Club for fifty cents. There will be no re served seats, according to Lions President Wilbur Debnam. Included among the groups par ticipating are the Carolinian Quar tet of Asheboro; the Friendly Four of Durham; the Live Oak Quartet of Selma; the Ambassadors Quartet of Winston-Salem; the Renfro Trio j of Middlesex; and the Southern aires of Durham. j Selections on the program will include spiritual numbers, hill— ' billy tunes, and popular numbers. • It would not surprise Uncle Ferd a bit if President Truman return ed to Washington as a member of Congress but I think that a lot j of people (names furnished on a i receipt of a 3-cent stamp and a i mimeograph machine) would die on the spot should he return to Washington in any official capac ity. Martin Van Buren, the eighth president, was born 170 years ago today. He was a strong states righter. and served as Secretary of State under Andrew Jackson. In 1836 he was Jackson’s handpicked choice for president, much the same as Adlai Stevenson was Tru man’s handpicked choice. The dif ference lies in the fact that Jack son was able to put his man over. The French captured Mascara (in Algeria) 117 years ago today, and wives of the French picked up the habit of darkening their eye lids from the native women. They imported the custom into France, and women have been using mas cara ever since. The Spanish (who earlied held Mascara for a spell) (Continued on Page 7) Zebulon, N.

He has earned the highest ratings i possible for his work, which is carried on under severe handcaps because of t,he inadequate armory facilities. During the past two years, Sfc.

Davis Sons, Publishers Approval Is Given Housing Authority By County Board The Board of County Commis sioners meeting in the Wake Coun ty Court House Monday, voted to create a housing authority for Wake County. This authority will permit the erection of low-rent housing pro jects in the area of Wake County outside Raleigh, especially in those towns which desire them. A delegation of Wendell peo ! pie were on hand to advance the ; reasons why such an authority 1 should be created. James H. Par ish, who is chairman of the com i mittee for obtaining the housing | for Wendell, spoke in behalf of the project. E. H. Moser, Secre tary of the Chamber of Commerce, also pointed out to the Commis sioners the need of such an author ity to aid in alleviating insanitary dwellings in the rural areas of the county. W. A. Scarboro, mayor of the Town of Wendell, told the com missioners the need of low-rent housing accommodations in Wen dell and other parts of the county was real, and there was no valid reason for any person in Raleigh objecting to it, especially when it was not to cost the county any money. Others who spoke before the commisioners for the project were i the Rev. Earle J. Rogers, Hyman t ! Katz and J. B. Bilisoly. Waymon Morgan, local colored leader, as [ sured the commissioners that some . of the colored dwellings in Wen dell were certainly unfit for hu . | man habitation. ! Others at Meeting Others at the meeting from Wendell were the Rev. Allan R. Sharp, W. W. White, Hilary Price ! and Joe Henderson. From Zebulon were the Town Manager, Willie B. Hopkins and Dr. L. M. Massey. The Board of Commissioners al so adopted a bond issue for the erection of several rural hospital clinics, which include some for ditions to be made to Rex Hos pital and St. Agnes, both of Ral eigh. A delegation was on hand from Wendell and Zebulon for this mat ter before the County Commis | sioners. However, since no opposi tion arose, none was called upon to talk. Housing Authority The housing authority for the county was created almost entirely through the efforts of the Wendell | and Zebulon group. This group filed the petition required by law and submitted applications from more than 100 persons who could quali ify for accommodations in the housing project by reason of low income and presently occupying sub-standard accommodations.
