Morehead City Vacation Booklet Wins Praise; Printed in Zebulon A recent edition of the Carteret County News-Times of Morehead City carried the following editorial concerning The Chamber of Com merce booklet recently printed by Theo. Davis Sons: The new vacation booklet pub lished by the Morehead City Chamber of Commerce under the able supervision of Ted Davis, manager, is a masterpiece. Well-edited, well-printed and well-illustrated, it is packed with every type of information a visitor would want to know about More head City and Carteret County. Advertisers who appear in the booklet have made a good invest ment. The editorial information is accurate and it’s amazing how up-to-date the booklet is.

Nineteen years ago today, as best I recall, seven college stu dents pulled in for their summer vacations. Edna Earle Sexton, Iris Massey, and Rom Moser were home from Duke, Mary Barrow was home from Saint Mary’s, Jocelyn House from Meredith, and Oleta Chamblee from ECTC. (Okay, Jack, I know it’s ECC now.) I was also home, having never been away. When I finished high school in 1935, I decided I knew enough to make money, and after all, what was more important than making money? Later on I got the fool idea that money isn’t ev erything, and haven’t fully re Usually one expects such publi cations to carry age-old pictures, re-hash the same old stuff, carry the same old obsolete phone num bers and repeat the same mis takes which may have appeared in an earlier booklet. Not so with the new Chamber of Commerce “year ’round vacationland” publi cation. For anyone who is looking for the vacation thrills or a vacation rest, this booklet serves as a warm, hard-to-refuse invitation to come to Carteret County. If Mr. Davis weren’t doing a hundred and one other things to make Morehead City and the sur rounding area famous, this book alone would be a tribute to his in dustry and ingenuity. Zebulon, N. C., Friday, June 3, 1955 of the Zebulon American Legion Post. Ed Ellington of the Agriculture Department made the following presentations: The W. H. Cham blee Award for Excellence in Ag riculture given by the Zebulon Record to Luther Long, Jr.; the Agriculture Award to Billy Greene; and the Vocational Award to Douglas Perry.

The Band Award was presented Billy Greene by Director Alger Batts. 1 Ruth Temple and Gayle Dunn, who represented Wakelon in the triangular meet, were awarded the Debate Award by Mr. Jones. Recognized as scholastic lead ers were Ruth Temple, saluta torian, and Barbara Alford, vale dictorian. Edwin Bunn was honored as best bus driver and Leland Creech, second best, by Jerry Hagwood, president of the Zebulon Lions Club, and Clarence Hocutt, chair man of the Lions Safety Commit tee. covered from that sad delusion yet. Ask Aunt Selma. Also nineteen years ago today Mrs. John Terry and little son, Jack, then of Burlington, were in the community to visit Mrs. Terry’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Billy Cham blee. Little Jack is not so little any more; he got a degree in civil engineering from the well-known college run by, for, and of Mr. Ev erett Case last Sunday, and is also the owner of two new 2nd lieuten ant’s bars. One hundred and one years ago today the militia had to be called out in Brooklyn to suppress an an ti-street preaching mob. Person ally, I feel a lot of sympathy for the mob. Maybe you will have to call out the militia to suppress me one of these nights, do things get any worse. I believe that every man has the right to worship ac cording to his conscience, but it is hard for me to believe that his conscience requires him to hitch up a loud speaker so that Uncle Ferd, lying blocks away in his bed, cannot sleep for the noise. William Harvey’s blood stopped circulating 298 years ago today, and he died. Mr. Harvey was the man who discovered that blood circulates. Many people had sus pected it, but he proved it. Maybe he wouldn’t have died when his blood stopped circulating if he hadn’t been so smart that he knew he was supposed to. Anyhow, he was a good doctor. Another good doctor, name of Ben Thomas, was one of the prin cipals in a document in circulation seven years ago today. The en graved document announced that Miss Dorothy Rae Davis would be married to him (in Murfreesboro) sixteen days later, and so far as I know, they have both lived happily ever after.
