Heaviest Snowstorm in Years Hits Community Tuesday Night Zebulon and the surrounding community has been busy for the last two days digging out from the heaviest snowfall in years. The storm, described by weather obser/ers as “the closest to a bliz zard this part of North Carolina will ever experience,” began Tues day night, about midnight, and continued until Wednesday after noon. Approximately ten inches of snow fell in this.area. Bank President Speaks At Botary Club Meeting W. W. Shaw, president and trust officer of Peoples Bank & Trust Company, addressed the Zebu lon Rotary Club last Friday night on the subject of estates planning. Mr. Shaw, a member of the Rocky Mount Rotary Club, was introduced to the local Rotarians by R. Vance Brown, cashier of the Zebulon branch of the bank head ed by Mr. Shaw. The speaker discussed various devices used by trust donors to cut the amount of estate taxes due the federal government under va rious transactions. Chief among these legal devices, Mr. Shaw said, is the use of gifts during a donor’s lifetime. These gifts enable a man who wishes to leave his property to any particular individual or group to make substantial grants without paying either gift or estate taxes. Quick Work Saves Farm House Fast work and clear thinking paid off for Robert Perry when he fought a blaze in a tenant house on his farm near Rosenburg last Thursday night about midnight. The building, a two-story frame structure, caught fire around the chimney between the first and sec ond story. Occupants of the dwell ing, the George Bunn family, ran to Perry’s home, about a quarter of a mile away, and told him of the blaze. ! Little warning of the storm came to local residents, although wea j thermen had mentioned a possibil | ity of snowfall because of the im | pending occlusion of a cold air | mass from the northwest and a i warm air mass from the south west. No Radio Warning Radio forecasters apparently dis missed this possibility as remote, and predicted some rain for Tues- The bank president pointed out that trust groups, through their great experience with trust mat ters, can often save their clients hundreds or even thousands of dol lars by accomplishing a given task by a tax-saving method. Sidney Eddins, chairman of the international service committee of the local club, was called on by Dr. L. M. Massey, program chair man, to make a three-minute im promptu talk. Mr. Eddins spoke of the work being done with Zebulon Boy Scouts by members of his committee, and urged club support of the scouting program. In the business session prior to Mr. Shaw’s address, the club members voted unanimously to in dorse the candidacy of Dr. H. Broadus Jones, Wake Forest Ro tar i, for district governor of Rotary International. Perry dispatched a relative to turn in the first alarm, and ran to the burning home, where he observed the fire and decided he could fight it successfully if he could get to it. Seizing an axe, he chopped a hole in the floor about the size of large wash tub, and threw water brought by a bucket brigade on the smoking timbers. By the time the rural fire truck arrived, he had put the fire out. Theo. Davis Sons, Publishers day night followed by warmer weather Wednesday afternoon. A light rain began falling about ten o’clock Tuesday night, and turned to snow two hours later. By daylight the snowfall was so great that schools had to cancel classes for the day, and other ac tivities were similarly curtailed. Yesterday roads were so blocked that school children had another holiday. Chains Sold Out Local merchants quickly sold out of chains Wednesday morning, and traffic was generally confined to mail and other essential deliv eries. Most merchants here were already planning to close at one o’clock Wednesday afternoorl, and commerce was not unduly ham pered. No School Today Fred Smith, assistant superin tendent of Wake County schools, said last night that Wakelon and Shepard Schools would reopen on Monday. He added that no plans had yet been made concerning the lost days, which by state law must be made up, but said a decision will be made soon.
