Local Lions Fete Wives; Awards for District Won Members of the Zebulon Lions Club feted their wives at dinner last Thursday night at the Metho dist Church, and heard a talk by the Rev. Bev. Asbury, pastor of the Zebulon Baptist Church. Mr. Asbury was introduced to the group by the Rev. S. E. Mercer, local Methodist pastor. The supper, which included ham, salad, vegetables, tea, and pineap ple cake, was served by the ladies of the Methodist Church. Reports Made During the business session, at which President Wilbur Debnam presided, the Lions heard reports on the state convention recently held at Asheville, and elected two delegates, Jerry Hagwood and Frank Kemp, to the national con vention at Chicago on July 8-11. Reports were made on the Ashe ville meeting by Worth Hinton, Gilbert Beck, Frank Kemp, Mrs. Hazel Debnam, and Jerry Hag wood. Official delegates to the state convention were Beck, Jerry and M. L. Hagwood, and Frank Kemp. Attending were the dele Highest Prices for Beef Are Paid At Henderson County Stock Show The recent Henderson County Fat Stock Show and Sale brought young beef producers the state’s highest fat stock sale average this year 541.64. But that isn’t the whole story. A. V. Allen, animal husbandry spe cialist for the N. C. State College Agricultural Extension Service, says the Henderson event showed great improvement in the quality of animals shown. “Os all the fat stock shows I have attended this year.” says Allen, “I gates, their wives (except for Mrs. Beck, who was unable to attend), Mr. and Mrs. Worth Hinton, Mr. and Mrs. W. B. Bunn, and Mrs. J. C. Debnam. Three trophies were won by the local club, two of them for the second year in suecesion—largest number of delegates at the state convention and the club members’ 100% trophy, awarded to each club whose Lions attend all meetings during the year or perform some work in lieu of attendance. The jungle prowlers’ trophy, an award made to a county club for having made the most visits to the neighboring clubs, was also won by the Zebulon group. The trophy is presented on the basis of at tendance and distance travelled. The members heard Jack Stick ley, North Carolina candidate for national 3rd vice president, speak at the convention. A recording of the speech will be made available to the local club at a later date. Ladies on the trip made a tour of the Biltmore estate, and Mrs. Debnam won a door prize at the Lionesses’ fashion show. noted the biggest improvement in the quality of calves at the Hen derson County show.” Last year, he adds, the show was made up of commercial and good animals. “But this time the 4-H Club members started off with the right kind of calves and did an excellent job of finishing them for the show.” Os the 14 calves entered in the show. Allen says, seven were grad ed choice, four «ood and only two commercial. ’Die livestock special ist commends the towns people too. Zebulon, N. C., Tuesday, June 23, 1953 The Peregrinatory Preacher Makes Trip Down South Theo. B. Davis I have traveled around so much lately that I feel somewhat like ihe Irishman did in his report of the train accident: “Off again, on again, gone again!” Up North in ole Virginny, then down South in Georgy. My father’s family is scattered to all points of the compass and it takes a lot of travel for even a few of us to get together. The Georgia group is the largest, so when a get-together meeting was suggested for Buckhead, June 7, we headed that way. By special invitation from my niece, Lenna, who is the wife of dentist “Jack” Moore in Hillsboro, I went with them and their two nice jolly boys to Georgia. Having a 500 mile trip before us we left early on Friday morning, getting to our destination in late afternoon. Plenty of Peaches Our journey took us by Chapel Hill, Rockingham, Cheraw, Cam den and Columbia, S. C. Few red hills and gulleys were seen. The land is rolling and fairly fer tile. Much of it is growing up in iong leaf pines. Little tobacco and cotton was seen. But great fields of oats and wheat stood in shocks or yet uncut. By comparison one would believe S. C. has robbed Ga. of its claim as the peach state. Thousands of acres in peach bear ing trees were seen all along the highway. Ripe peaches were on sale at roadside stands 7O cents for a small basket of less than two dozen! But to me the most inter esting sight were the great fields of growing fa rass and pastures. I saw hundreds of cattle, both beef and milk types grazing. Through north S. C. and far towards At lanta green fields and great herds seemed everywhere. I have never seen so many cattle except on the great plains of western states. There must have been fifty Jer sey cows standing in a lot at a big dairy barn to be milked. Prosperity and Poverty All along our ride were evi dences of both prosperity and pov erty. Great stretches of idle land growing up in long leaf pine and scrub timber with frequent occur rence were seen, while in between pretty little towns broke the mo notony. Less than twenty years iigo 1 traveled this road. Colum bia then reached less than half the distance it does today along the highway. Where Bessie and I stopped to worship on a Sunday back then in a small slatted chapel, today stands a beautiful brick church. The overflow of Northern capital is building all kinds of factories even in the smaller towns. The Duponts have a great plant that sits ’way out in the country. The Yankees surely are taking the South! Taught Bible Class Some of our Florida kin arrived about the time our party did. They kept coming, some arriving on Sunday morning, till almost a half hundred came. We went to the FaptM Sunday School where I taueht th° Men’s B'ble Class. All men over fifty were in this class, so T had a larger class than T do at home. White a neph <w hv is Sunt, of the jS. S Bo dire r d”d and announced the program Vmt n y»rv efficient ISee GFORGTA.

Guardsmen Have Week of Work Zebulon Guardsmen, now in the middle of their second week of summer training for 1953, are in the field at Fort McClellan, Ala bama, being graded on a battery firing test today, in which they must fire two missions in half an hour. Included in the firing test is selection of position, moving into place, fire direction calculations, and actual firing of the missions, one of which is an observed trans fer action—all in the space of 30 minutes. Men in Charge In charge of the fire direction center is Lt. Jack Potter, battery executive officer, assisted by Sgt. Jimmy Spivey and Pvt. Herbert Privette. Gun crew chiefs are Ser geants Ralph Creech and Baxter Hopkins. An important portion of today’s test is the communications install ation, upon which the mission’s success depends. Head of the lo cal communications section is Sfc. Talmadge Pearce, with Sgt. Ken neth Chamblee as wire chief. The Guardsmen will turn in all equipment and draw their pay for the two-weeks stay at Fort Mc- Clellan Thursday, and will start back Friday morning. They will spend Friday night in Atlanta, Sautrday night at Fort Jackson, S. C., and Sunday night at home! Rotarians Hear Interesting Talks By Professor and Pastor Recently Vester Brantley, professor of mathematics at North Carolina State College and a former presi dent of the Zebulon Rotary Club, addressed local Rotarians at their meeting Friday night on the sub ject of State College’s educational services. State College, thought of gen erally as an agricultural school, is famous in engineering, he said. Good Divisions The speaker pointed out the fine reputations enjoyed by the various schools of the college, cit ing especially the Schools of Tex tiles and Design. Mr. Brantley was introduced to Theo.
