Hagwood and Frank Kemp will oppose each other for the presidency of the local Lions Club in elections to be held at the next regular meeting on May 19. The two nominees are widely known and respected for their Lions work, and members of the local club are expecting the elec tion to be close. Hagwood is Ist vice president of the local club, while Kemp is Guard Battery Has $29,000 Pay Roll Zebulon’s National Guard unit brought to this community a pay roll of nearly $2,500 a month dur ing 1954, CWO Johnsey P. Arnold announced yesterday. This in cludes drill pay for the regular Monday night assemblies and pay for the 15-day summer encamp ment. The 1955 pay roll will be greater, the unit administrator said, be cause more men are in Battery A and the recent Army pay raise means more money per drill. At the present time members of Battery A receive over $350 for each Monday night drill. “This money,” Mr. Arnold said, “could be classified as a ‘spare time’ pay roll, because it is earned during hours when the Guardsmen are not busy at their regular occupa tions.” The total pay roll for Battery A during 1954 was about $29,000.00. tail twister. The official nominating commit tee, consisting of Wilbur Debnam, Worth Hinton and J. C. Debnam, named their selections at the last meeting. Hagwood was their choice for president. Kemp was nominated from the floor. Other selections of the nominat ing committee included M. M. Bry ant, Ist vice-president; Randolph Hendricks, 2nd vice-president; Henry Massey; lion tamer, Charles Creech; tail-twister, Gilbert Beck; and two directors, J. C. Debnam and Hardin Hinton. Only nominations from the floor other than Kemp to oppose Hag wood were Roland Gaddy for sec retary and A1 Beck for director. It had been anticipated that Kemp and Hagwood would be the two nominations for president, and that the one not named by the committee would be named from the floor. Legion Auxiliary The American Legion Auxiliary meeting scheduled for last Friday night was postponed owing to the conflict with the dance revue at Wakelon School, and will be held this toming Friday. American Legion members are invited, including a special project committee appointed by Legion of ficials recently. Mrs. Dabney Gill in announcing the postponement last week urged a good attendance at the Friday meeting. Zebulon, N. C., Tuesday, May 10, 1955 Legion Poppy Sale Set by Auxiliary; Aids Disabled Vets By Mrs. Dabney Gill Once a year the American Le gion Auxiliary organizes the sale of poppies made by our disabled veterans now from two world wars. These men spend their win ters fashioning the little red flow ers, which gives them a sense of creation and usefulness. Sometimes it takes a man a long time to realize that his fingers can do something besides clench into impotent fists or lie hopelessly at his sides. This work of making poppies which are sold by Auxiliary mem bers on every street, in every town, city or village in America is one of the most interesting activities most of the veterans in government hospitals have throughout the year, lying helpless in bed fighting an other battle, a battle to return to a normal, healthy, useful life. Not only does poppy making give the veterans something to do, but it pays them for their labor of love and hope as well. Furnishes Materials The Auxiliary furnishes the ma terials at no cost to the veterans and they in return receive renum eration for every single poppy made. The disabled veteran likes to feel he is helping to support his wife and children, so he gets two cents for each poppy he makes. The Auxiliary pays eight cents for the material per flower. This is costing the Auxiliary ten cents for each poppy they make for us. Remember this when you make your contribution this Poppy Day. Are we so engrossed in the prob lems of today that we forget the past? Let the little red flower of remembrance be our reminder. Guard Feature Beginning this week Wakelon Food Market is sponsoring a week ly ad series featuring information about the enlisted men of Zebu lon’s National Guard unit. The se ries is designed to acquaint citizens with the men who are doing such a good job in the local military unit. Proprietors of Wakelon Food Market, Frank Wall and Thurman Murray, said Friday.that they are happy to be a position to sponsor this series. POTATO MEETING Farm Bureau members are requested to attend this eve ning at 7:45 in Town Hall a special program designed to familiarize farmers with the Farm Bureau sweet potato project here. Joe Guarley, a potato ex pert with the government, and H. H. Simmons, successful sweet potato farmer from Tar boro, will speak to the group concerning all the various de tails involved in sweet potato growth, storage and market ing. The meeting has bden ar ranged especially for those who have professed interest in the project, although all farm ers are urged to attend if they expect to grow sweet potatoes either this year or next year, when the project should be mere fully developed.

Buildings Burn A fire that started at dawn de stroyed two buildings and caused an estimated loss of seven or eight hundred dollars Wednesday as two buildings belonging to James Pul ley burned to the ground. Mrs. Pulley reported that her wash house and an adjoining shel ter and a washing machine were destroyed. She said that she had built a fire in the wash house preparatory to work there and when she returned to the house for breakfast she he#rd something falling outside, got up and looked out the window and saw smoke and fire. Losses were higher than neces sary, she indicated, as her phone was out of order and a neighbor was asked to drive down town to the fire department. r Theo. Davis Sons, Publishers Farmer Announces Civil Defense Plan For Zebulon Area Pat Farmer, Director of Civil Defense here, announced Friday that local defense committee heads will be named this week. Farmer expects to appear before the Board of Commissioners in June when the Town budget is being appropriated for the purpose of soliciting funds with which to make civil defense a success in Zebulon. He said Friday that everyone asked to participate in this pro gram should do so without hesi tancy, emphasizing that it is more than a precaution against enemy attack. With proper funds, he said, we can do much by assisting the na tional guard when emergency con ditions exist. Serves Many Needs Farmer has insisted several times that the most important thing about civil defense is that it organizes the civilian population in much the same way that the na tional guard is militarily or ganized. He said that everyone will have a specific task assigned him and when a disaster arises, like last fall’s big hurricane, there will be a unified dispatchment of person nel. All movements will probably be coordinated with the National Guard, he said. v Appointments made this week will be printed in Friday’s Record in the event that anyone is not in formed in person before that time. As much as possible appoint ments will be made according to an individual’s role in the com munity, Farmer indicated; that is, each man will be heading a com mittee that has to do with his par ticular line of work. Wakelon Principal Speaks onProgram At a meeting of the North Car olina Academy of Science at Da vidson College last Saturday Prin cipal Franklin Jones of Wakelon School read a technical paper con cerning educational Psychology.

D. Payne, Superintendent of Hen derson City Schools; Mrs. Virginia P. Waller, Supervisor; Miss Mar tha Garbee and Mrs. William Dickerson, teachers and Herbert Holt of the local school.
