Davis Sons, Publishers Whitley Declares Zebulon's Future Lies with Children Zebulon’s future is based on “our ability to develop the youth of our country and community,” C. V. Whitley told Zebulon Rotarians last Friday evening. “Our Chris tian responsibility is to shoulder the burden of developing our youth,” he said. Mr. Whitley stressed the import ance of the community park, say ing “it is thrilling to watch chil dren play.” He urged that the park be de veloped and that supervised rec reation be provided for the young people. This community needs a com munity building, he stressed, and an adequate library and extended playground equipment. He said that thus far we have failed to provide a community building by appointing a commit tee and putting the burden on a few people. Here he suggested that the only way to develop our youth is to raise the tax rate 65 cents, even if for a limited time, to get con tributions from everyone for the Work. Such a tax would be nothing to be ashamed of, he said, because the community could show what the taxes are for. The added tax would not be too much for what the community would receive, he added. # 513,000 per Year A question and answer discus sion followed the talk. It was fig ured that the 65 cents added tax would bring in $13,000 in revenue annually. “This is the only way everybody will contribute,” Town Commissioner Howard Beck com mented. The continuing discussion re vealed some believe the idea of the special tax would hurt no one’s platform and would lift a heavy burden off committees now sad dled with the responsibility of planning a community building j and supervising a recreation pro ! gram with limited funds. Consensus was that all people who contributed to get a factory building for the community would not give money for a community building. Ralph Talton, chairman of the Recreation Commission, said that this summer 90 percent of the bud get for the recreation program will be spent for the children from four to nine years as age. The program was interesting and the idea of a special tax in cited spirited comment. Visitors at the meeting were Sam Anderson and Swade Barbour of Clayton. J. D.
