THIS IS PERCY
Percy B. Parrish
Sergeant First Class Percy
Parrish deserves a lion’s share
of the credit for the high mo
rale of Zebulon’s Battery A,
because he is Mess Steward of
the National Guard unit and the
delicious food he prepares has
won fame far and wide for his
mess section.
Sfc. Parrish began his mili
tary service with the famed
82nd Airborne Division, and en
listed in the National Guard
when Battery A was organized
in 1949. Then he instructed
his cooks in a make-shift area
above the old supply room of
the municipal water plant. To
day he has a beautiful kitchen
in the armory.
Sfc. Parrish is one of 90 citi
zen-soldiers who serve their
community and nation in Zeb
ulon’s National Guard unit. He
earns over $6.60 for each Mon
day night drill, which helps
with the monthly payments on
his home in Zebulon.
We have the best in
meats and fresh vegeta
bles, and a complete line
of frozen foods.

27 Examined
At Cancer Clinic
Twenty-seven persons were ex
amined in the Cancer Detection
and Diagnostic Clinics yesterday,
when the clinics were held for
the 198th time by physicians of
Edgecombe and Nash Counties.
These clinics are held each Wed
nesday at 9:00 a. m. at H. Lee
Large Memorial Center, 1616 West
Thomas Street, Rocky Mount, and
they are open only to persons for
ty years of age, and older, regard
less of race or ability to pay.
The 27 persons examined con
sisted of four men, 23 women. On
ly four of the examinees had been
referred to the clinic by a physi
cian.
Persons examined represented
Rocky Mount and outlying areas,
Castalia, Elm City, Greenville,
Macclesfield, Zebulon, William
ston, Bailey, Goldsboro, Nashville
and Roanoke Rapids.
In order that those that live at
a distance may be sure of an ex
amination when they come to the
clinic and thus not make a trip in
vain, priorities will be issued on
request to anyone living twenty
miles or more from Rocky Mount.
Requests for these priorites should
be addressed to: Cancer Control
Center, H. Lee Large Memorial
Center, 1616 West Thomas Street,
Rocky Mount, North Carolina.
These clinics are operated by
the Edgecombe-Nash Medical So
ciety, in cooperation with the State
Board of Health, and the local
chapter of the American Cancer
Society. They are being operated
on a non-permanent basis as an
educational feature and public
service. While on this basis, there
is no charge to anyone. The Detec
tion Clinic, although open to any
one, is primarily for service to the
local public; but the Diagnostic
Clinic is designed to service the
population of Northeastern North
Carolina.
