Water Tank Being Cleaned; Leaks Trouble Water Supt. Willie B. Work on the Zebulon water tank, which includes cleaning, painting, and repairing, should be complet ed this week, according to Town M; nager Willie B. Hopkins. Uni versal Construction Company of Birmingham is doing the work, beginning Monday. Peden Steel Company of Raleigh is making inspections of the tank before and after the work. Water service is being supplied all customers even while the work on the water tank is in progress by keeping pressure on the water mains, Hopkins said. Some homes may be temporarily without water this week, he added, because the pumps build up pres sure on the mains so rapidly that they sometimes cut off before the pressure reaches all homes. David Alford. One of the big items on the agenda for the Tuesday meeting was the election of officers for the school year of 53-54. There were many eligible candidates for the offices but these were the se lected few: President, Tommy Womble, Cary; Vice President, Ann Strickland, Wakelon; Secre tary. Patsy Cameron, Garner; Treasurer, Jimmy Proctor, Fu quay. The Wakelon Council is proud to support Ann as Vice President of the County Council. Under her leadership the Wakelon Council is well under way. We have purchas ed a radio and phonograph com bination for use when needed by the students, records for the pho nograph, draperies for the high school club room, first aid sup plies for all the buildings, and several other things. We have planned many other projects for the year; some are already in progress. We’re proud of our president! Let’s support her! If water users in Zebulon think they have troubles during the time the water tank is being cleaned and repaired, they should take a look at those which plague Willie i B. Hopkins in his job as water superintendent (in addition to his ! other duties.) No sooner had the water tank been cut out of the system than three beautiful clear water springs burst forth on Arendell Avenue 1 in the middel of the business dis trict, fed by a break in the water line several feet underneath. Traffic was directed around the spot for two days this week while town laborers dug up the pavement and dug down to the break so that it could be repaired. Other leaks spouted forth in other parts of town, adding to the troubles. Zebulon, N.

Vance Brown, chairman of the Budget Committee. A goal of $5,000.00 has been set for the community. This marks the first year that a United Fund has been organized in this community. The change from a Community Chest was made following public meetings and a vote by the members of the Community Chest. The United Fund will replace at least six of the fund campaigns conducted by loca’l groups in years past, according to J. C. Dcbnam, president. Agencies participating include the Zebulon Recreation Commission, Girl Scouts, Boy- Scouts, Local Welfare, School lunches for white and colored, Red Cross, Wake County Cerebral Pal sy, Wake County Crippled Chil dren, Cancer, Polio, Heart, North Carolina Children’s Home Society, and the United Service Organiza tion. Detailed Plan Ralph Talton, who heads the so licitations committee, is preparing a detailed plan for contacting every person in the community to give each one an opportunity to contribute to the United Fund. Captains will be appointed to lead the work in districts, and work ers from those districts assigned to canvass the districts. This year, because of the larger budget required for the United Fund, contributors will be given an opportunity to pay their pledges by installments. Chairman Tal ton urged that everyone review their combined gifts to all the agencies last year, and then give at least as much as the combined total to the United Fund this year. The single, concerted drive will eliminate the continual requests for money that have plagued the Zebulon community during the past, if the community cooperates in making the United Fund a suc cess. ley Furniture Co.
