Rodney McNabb Addresses Rotary On Club's Objects Rodney McNabb, president of the Zebulon Rotary Club, addressed members last Friday night on the subject of Rotary information. He discussed briefly three phases of the club’s work, treating attend ance, membership, and club objects in turn. Rotary membership is different from many clubs, he said, in that actual attendance is required. In this connection he praised D. D. Chamblee, who has had over six teen years of perfect attendance with the local unit. Membership groupings include active, additional active, honorary, senior active, and past service, President McNabb said. Special honor is attached to the senior active classification, he added, pointing out that several members of the local club are qualified for each membership. The late Rev. R. H. Herring was the only honor ary member of the Zebulon club. The objects of Rotary, he con cluded, are best summed up in the two mottoes of the organization: “Service above self” and “he prof its most who serves best.” The lat ter motto, he emphasized, does not mean material profit, but means that profits in the form of mental satisfaction come from service well performed. Willie B. Hopkins served as the club’s three-minute speaker. He spoke on the need for a civil de fense organisation in Zebulon, cit ing the hurricane of last October 15 as a time when an OCD or ganization could have rendered real service. Mr. Hopkins asked Rotarians to support a local de fense organization. Dr. L. M. Massey announced Rotary programs for the next month. Tonight C. V. Whitley will speak on buyer-seller relations. Next week Dr. Young of the Uni versity of Georgia faculty will ad dress a meeting of Rotarians, their wives, and guests. March 18 will see the Rev. B. A. Asbury discuss ing community service, and the Rotary film, “Adventures in Ro tary,” will be shown March 25. Visitors at the Rotary meeting last Friday night were Dr. O. T. Binkley, seminary faculty member, Leland Jones, hardware dealer, and R. H. Forrest, high school principal, all members of the Wake Forest Rotary Club. Livestock Winners The Shepard High School 4-H Club last Monday, Feb. 28, won the annual Livestock Judging Con test at N. C. State College in Ral eigh, Shepard 4-H teacher J. T. Locke said Thursday. The Barry O’Kelly Federation, including Wake, Sampson, Harnett, Wayne and Duplin counties, spon sors this annual affair. The program last Monday in cluded the judging of dairy and beef cattle, swine and poultry. Second and third place winners respectively were Pikeville and Warsaw. Shepard will represent the local federation in the state contest which is slated for June in Greens boro.

Davis Sons, Publishers Symphony Group Presents School f Program Monday In an hour long matinee per formance last Monday Dr. Ben jamin Swalin and members of the North Carolina Little Symphony entertained some twelve hundred students, eight hundred of them present in the Wakelon School au ditorium and four hundred others listening in their rooms over the school inter-communication sys tem. School children from Wakelon and Wendell were there. When the program was finished the students sounded an ovation, loud and sustained, mixed with whistling and shouting, showing their appreciative response to sev eral types of music—classical, ro mantic and modern. Concert selections ranged from the very serious to the light and gay from Franz Schubert’s “Fifth Symphony” to the popular “Typewriter Song,” from Tschai kowsky’s “Nutcracker Suite,” to a North Carolina folk melody, “Cripple Creek,” upon which N. C. composer Lamar Stringfield based his orchestra suite, '“From the Southern Mountains.” Between selections the conduc tor’s wife, Mrs. Swalin, narrated short stories about or relevant to each selection,' primarily for the benefit of the younger children. The Little Symphony which ap peared here has some thirty-five less members than compose the Full Symphony which with 65 persons will begin its annual tour of the state in April. Principal Franklin Jones of Wakelon, before coming to Zebu lon, worked with the organization in Henderson and was responsible for the concert engagement here.
