THE ZEBULON RECORD Volume XXVII Number 63. Creech Appeals For Poppy Day Support of Sale An appeal to all patriotic citi zens to wear a poppy on Poppy Day next Saturday, in memory of those who have given their lives in America’s defense, was issued to day by Charles Creech, of The Zeb ulon Post of The American Legion. Memorial popples will be dis tributed on the streets throughout the day by members of the Amer ican Legion Auxiliary, who will re ceive contributions for the aid of disabled war veterans and needy children of veterans. The red crepe-paper poppies have been made by veterans at Fort Bragg. In his Poppy Day appeal, Com mander Creech said: “With young Americans again dying in defense of the principles of freedom for which America stands, and with our country again mobilizing to prevent new aggres sion and war it is fitting that every American remember those who have given their lives in the na tion’s service by wearing their flower, the memorial poppy, on Poppy Day. Wearing a poppy is the way for every patriotic citizen to show that he honors the mem ory of the nation’s war dead. “While honoring the dead, we should also think of those who are disabled as a result of their war service, and the children of the dead and disabled who are in ex change for the poppies will bring help and hope to these living vic tims of America’s war. Everyone should be as generous as his means permit when he puts on a memor ial poppy.” Cpl. Charles O'Neal To Leave England Army Cpl. Charles E. O’Neal, whose wife lives on Route 1, Smithfield, N. C., will return to the United States from England soon. Slated for rotation in May, he has been serving with the 32nd Anti-Aircraft Artillery Brigade at Mildenhall, undergoing constant training as part of the NATO de fense forces. Corporal O’Neal, son of Mr. and Mrs. F. F. O’Neal, Route 1, Zebu lon, is a driver with Headquarters Detachment of the 6th Chemical Smoke Generator Battalion. He entered the Army in June 1951 and was stationed at Fort Bragg, before transferring over seas in April, 1952. HOUSEWIVES HAPPY Sexton Notes Change Housewives will be delighted with a new regulation of the Post Office Department now in effect permitting them to seal all their packages without using a printed label. Seal them hereafter, and seal them as tightly as you wish, Post master M. J. Sexton advises his patrons. All that is now neces sary is to write “May be open ed for postal inspection” above or below the sender’s return address, he said. This new order by Postmaster General Summerfield has been greeted enthusiastically by the public and postal employees alike. In the past, Postmaster Sexton explained, it was necessary to have a printed permission on sealed AIRMAN ' ■ “Ned” Moss Edward G. Moss, 19, son of Mr. R. G. Moss is completing his AF basic airmen indoctrination course at Lackland Air Force Base, Texas, the “Gateway to the Air Force.” Lackland, situated near San An tonio, is the world’s largest air force base, site of Air Force basic training, for men and women, headquarters of the Human Re source Research Center, and home of AF’s Officer Candidate School. His basic training is preparing him for entrance into Air Force technical training and for assign ment in specialized work. The course includes a scientific evalua tion of his aptitude and inclina tion for following a particular vo cation and career. Singing Convention Set For Wilson on Sunday Sunday, May 24, will be a red letter day for singing groups in North Carolina when the Eastern Carolina Singing Convention will be held for the 13th time at the Municipal Stadium in Wilson, ac cording to L. A. Hagwood, Pres ident of the group. A crowd of 15 000 is expected for the annual affair, which will open at 10 a. m. and continue all day long, featuring gospel music and other entertainment. The Wilson Junior Chamber of Commerce will sponsor the sing, which will draw song groups from Lumberton, Smithfield, Durham, Winston-Salem, Four Oaks, San ford, High Point, Fayetteville, Washington, and many other places in North Carolina and Virginia. No admission is charged for the convention and many of those who attend bring their lunches to eat during the intermission. packages. Typewritten or hand written instructions were not ac ceptable, and the package was either rated up to first-class rates, or the sender often had to hunt up a printed label. The old requirement was sel dom understood by Post Office patrons, and it was the cause of much lost time at parcel post win dows, particularly during the holi day rushes. Mailors would seal their packages with scotch tape or seals, only to discover with dis may that it was not permitted. Os course, cautioned Postmaster Sexton, the inscription should be legible if it is handwritten. The Post Office still prefers the print ed or typed form, but is waiving the point as a convenience Zebulon, N.

Theo. Davis Sons, Publishers Elementary Work Seen This Week A large exhibit of the art work of Wakelon elementary students in the first through the seventh grades is on display this week in the show windows of Whitley Fur niture Company in Zebulon. This is the first time that an ex hibit of the student art has been made in a downtown store. For merly the work of the Wakelon students was shown in other towns or at the school. Lando Reichart, who proposed the public exhibition, said it was placed at Whitley Furniture Com pany because so few of the parents and friends of the school have been able to see the work in years past. The exhibit includes posters, paintings, and other samples of the work being carried on in the ele mentary school. Mrs. Coressa Chamblee is art di rector. Rotarians Hosts Speaking before the members of the Zebulon Rotary Club and the boys of the Wakelon graduating class, Dean E. L. Cloyd of North Carolina State College emphasiz ed the importance of students making careful selection of the field of work they plan to enter. And, he added, even though they have entered a field, they should not be afraid to change their oc cupation if greater opportunity and happiness is offered in an other field. Dean Cloyd was introduced by Grady Miller, Wake County Farm Agent, who spoke of the accom plishment of the Dean during the time he has served at State Col lege. “Actually,” Dean Cloyd said, “this talk should have been made to you students during your ju nior year, because it is then that a tentative choice of life work should be made. And your choice of life work should remain tenta tive even after you become estab lished in some field.” Illustrating this point, Dean Cloyd reported that a study of the lives of men included in Who’s Who in America showed that they had averaged changing their oc cupations three times each. The senior boys were intro duced to the Rotarians by Ed El lington and each of the seniors gave his plans for the coming year. Ralph Talton and President Nor man Screws extended a welcome to the visitors from the Rotary Club. Personnel will be from Zebulon, he stated. Todd Electric Company has been appointed small appliance service station in Eastern North Caroli na for GE small appliances. The Zebulon store will sell the GE ranges, water heaters, wish washers, refrigerators, television and radio sets, and many other of the smaller appliances. Complete sales and service will be offered. 1
