District Governor
Pays Annual Visit
To Rotary Club
Rotary International has en
joyed an amazing growth inspired
by its ideal of service, District Gov
ornor P. D. Midgette, Jr., told
members of the Zebulon Rotary
Club last Friday night. The head
of District 278, which extends from
Burlington to the Atlantic Ocean,
paid his official visit to the Zebu
lon group and conducted a special
assembly for officers following the
meeting.
The District Governor cited the
history of Rotary to show how it
began and grew without benefit
or need of paid organizers through
the efforts of its members.
Begun in Chicago in 1905 by a
lawyer, Paul Harris, it gained its
name of Rotary from the original
practice of rotating its meetings to
include the businesses of all its
members.
It became international in 1910
when a club was organized in Can
ada, and today there are 8,000 clubs
in 88 countr ; ?s with more than
375,000 members.
Among projects of community
service encouraged by Rotary is
work with crippled children. Gov
ernor Midgette called attention
to the Tarboro Rotary Club which
has sponsored an orthopedic clinic
for some years, performing a won
derful service.
At the time the Rotary Club at
Englehard was organized, the town
was the smallest in the world to
have a Rotary organization. Gov.
Midgette is a charter member of
the Englehard club.
During the club assembly he re
viewed the work of the committees
of the local club, offering sugges
tions made at the international
Rotary Convention held last sum
mer at Lake Placid, New York.
On Dean's List
Miss Norma Faye Bridges has
won an honor standing at Mars
Hill College and has been placed
on the Dean’s List for the first
semester. She will complete her
studies at Mars Hill in June of
next year. The daughter of Mrs.
Ivey Bridges of Wendell, Route 2,
she is a graduate of Wakelon High
School.

BROOM SALE
Lions Club Now Ready
To Make 1953 Effort
For Blind Aid Funds
The annual Broom Sale, spon
sored by the Zebuipn Lions Club,
will be held Thursday night after
the regular meeting of the Lions,
and will continue on Friday and
Saturday to cover every home in

for helping the blind in North Car
olina. Local members of Lions In
ternational will join hands with
the North Carolina State Associa
tion for the Blind in the Associa

White Cane Buttons
The Lions urged that when a
member approaches anyone on be
half of the Association for the
Blind, the person buy a White Cane
Button. Kindness now may prevent
blindness later for many Carolina

Town of Zebulon
Privilege License
Taxes to Increase
The cost of privilege licenses in
the Town of Zebulon will be com
puted according to a schedule pre
pared by George Franklin, Gener
al Counsel for the North Carolina
League of Municipalities, the Board
of Commissioners decided at the
October meeting of the group. The
new schedule will require a sepa
rate license for each different line
of merchandise offered for sale by
Zebulon stores.
While this schedule will not
necessarily raise the cost of the
individual privilege license, it will
increase privilege license revenues
because many merchants will be
required to buy more than one li
cense.
The motion adopting the new
schedule was made by Frank Wall,
seconded by R. Vance Brown. On
ly Wesley Liles opposed the mea
sure.
The water tank, in need of clean
ing and paint, will get the re
quired attention, the Board decid
ed. The Commissioners voted to
have Universal Construction Com
pany clean and paint the tank, in
side and out, with Peden Steel
Company of Raleigh making in
spections before and after the
work.
The Board voted to order 200
feet of 1% inch hose and a IVs
inch fog nozzle for the new rural
fire truck. This equipment will
be in Zebulon whenever needed
and is stored in the Zebulon fire
station.
Town Manager Willie B. Hopkins
got a raise, the Commissioner de
cided, effective October 1. Now
Hopkins, who holds a multitude of
jobs for the town, will be paid
$375 a month by the Town of Zeb
ulon and $25.00 a month by the
Recorder’s Court.
Commissioner Vance Brown
moved that the Town advertise
for a police car, complete with
heater. The motion was seconded
by Frank Wall and passed unani
mously.
Present at the meeting were
tyfayor Worth Hinton, Town Mana
ger Willie B. Hopkins, and Com
missioners R. Vance Brown, How
ard Beck, Wesley Liles, Frank
Wall, and Wilbur Debnam.
