Zebulon Rotary Club, (right) Ruth Temple Is Winner Os High 4-H Club Honor Ruth Temple, 19 year old daugh ter of Mr. J. M. Temple of Route 1, Zebulon, has recently been a warded one of the highest honors to be earned by a 4-H Club Mem ber. She is the winner of the Danforth Foundation Scholarship to attend the two weeks Danforth Camp, Camp Miniwanca, at Stoney Lake, Michigan, August 1-14. Ruth received the award on the basis of her leadership and accom plishments in her 4-H Club work, school, church, and community. During her two weeks stay in Michigan on the shore of the Christian Advocate Sent Methodists The Zebulon Methodist Church is sending the North Carolina Christian Advocate to every family in the church. The Advocate is the church paper published each week. The purpose of sending the Advocate to each family is to get the members more mindful of the church and of its total program. This item was placed in the over-all budget of the church. When the members pledge and pay to the regular budget they will take care of this item. The church wants to encourage its membership to read the church paper and attend church and church school regularly. Unde Ferd’s Almanac Thlree years ago today Mrs. Elsie Privette was named the most courteous clerk in Zebulon by a secret committee o f the local Chamber of Commerce. For my money, she still qualifies for the honor. Thirty years ago today some of the younger folks of the com munity were entertained by Miss John T. O’Dear at a picnic supper at Lake Myra. Some of the young ladies present were Misses Lucia Flowers, Eleanor Blackley, Mild red and Justine Davis, Vivian Dawson, and Dorothy Jones. Among the young men in the company were Dr. L. M. Massey, M. W. Page, Merritt Massey, Dewey Massey, Floyd Lamn, and Horace Winstead. Twenty-three years ago today Astor Richardson left Zebulon for beautiful Lake Michigan, she will be associating with girls ages 16- 21 from all parts of the United States and Canada. The purpose of the camp is to offer four fold development training; mentally, physically, socially, spiritually. The camp was formed and is sponsored by Mr. William H. Danforth, Presi dent of the Purina Chow Company in Kansas City, Missouri. Ruth’s leadership record is very outstanding. She has been presi dent of her local 4-H club for three years and is currently president of the Wake County 4-H County Council. She has held other offices in her club and county such as secretary, reporter, committee chairman and junior leader. In her school work, she was Student Council President, president of her local chapter of F.H.A. and County Chapter. She has held offices in her class. In her church work, Ruth teaches Sunday School, di rects the Junior Choir, serves as Assistant Church Pianist and Or ganist, and was local and sub district President of M.Y.F. Units. These are only a few of the many activities Ruth has led and with her ability many North Carolinians will receive great values from her experiences in Michigan. As she boards her plane at Raleigh-Durham Airport >on July 31, Ruth will be traveling unded the sponsorship of the Zebulon Farm Bureau and the Zebulon Rotary Club. These two organiza tions presented her checks to cover the round-trip plane fare. Oxford Orphanage, where he was a senior during 1932-33. Astor was a brother of Ed and Mike Richardson. Like them, he was handsome, debonair, and a good athlete. I hated to see Astor go back to Oxford because he and I had pitched as partners many a game of horse shoes behind Cor bett’s Barber Shop and also Eddie’s Case. We won most of the games, and that was just about the only source of revenue available to me in 1932. Eight years ago today you could get bread for 11 a loaf at Phillip’s Grocery, and you could get coffee for 251 a pound. This was in 1947, mind you, not 1937. It just does not make sense to me that it costs the Brazilians four times as much to produce coffee now as it did in 1947, but it may be that I Zebulon, N. C., Friday, July 29, 1955 Traffic Violations Crowd Docket In Zebulon Court Traffic violations dominated the regular session of Zebulon Re corder’s Court Wednesday, July 27, as Judge Irby D.

A. Brame of Wendell, also a member of the State Paroles Board, and Mrs. Robert M. Cornick of Raleigh. Raleigh Attorney Howard Mann ing was named earlier in the week to head the three member board which meets monthly to set county welfare policies, pass on decisions, and to approve or disapprove all cases that are presented to it for public assistance. am wrong. However, I do note that more coffee merchants are driving Cadallacs these days than are (1) lawyers, (2) newspaper men, or (3) tobacco farmers. North Carolina becamr a royal province (along with South Caro lina) 226 years ago today, when the King of England bought % of the interest of the eight Lord Proprietors. The first steamboat on Lake Michigan reached Green Bay, Wisconsin, 135 years ago today. A great portion of America was thereby opened to development by the steamboat, which many people thought was the work of the devil and certainly not here to stay. They were probably right, since it appears that the steamboat along with everything else (including you and me) will some day be replaced by the H-Bomb. AMERICA MS? America by 1975 will see the number of work hours per capita decreased by about 15 per cent while product per man-hour is ex pected to rise at about 2Vfe per cent per year. These figures are from a report of the President’s Materials Policy Commission cited by the National Association of Manufacturers. Such a rise in man-hour pro ductivity exceeds the historical average, but continued high em ployment and an increase in capi tal per worker even greater than that of recent years will make this possible. Indication of the possible con servative pattern of these fore casts comes from U. S. Bureau of the Census figures which show that in 1954 through the month of November America’s annual population increase was fifty per cent above the average increase of each year since 1947. Rev. John Parker Corinth Speaker At the vesper service last Sun day evening in the beautiful new sanctuary of the Corinth Baptist Church, the Rev. John Parker, as sociate pastor of the White Oak Baptist Church in Johnston Coun ty, counselled the new Junior Board of Deacons ‘‘to never cease to grow in Grace, to always be up-standing and God-like, to serve with patience and understanding, to grow in wisdom and under standing, and to always be about their Father’s business.” The Rev. Mr. Parker’s text was from the New Testament, and his topic was entitled ‘‘The Deacon’s Experience of Grace.” The Rev. Alfred Parrish, pastor of the Corinth Church, closed the evening’s service with a commen tary on “The Deacon’s Relation ship to the Church.” He instruct ed them “to serve faithfully and dutifully the many obligations that will be required of them, but never with a bossy or dogmatic at titude, but with love and goodness. Those ordained to serve on the Junior Board were E. J. Corbett Jr., Wilbur Pulley, Ray Hocutt, Jesse Dwight High, Marion John son, and Dewitt Creech. Bad Wind Blows Dust, Causes False Fire Alarm 5-conscious farmers in the Zebulon area reported two barn fires to the Town Fire Depart ment, one of which was not a fire at all, the other of which was extinguished before firemen could arrive on the scene. The false alarm came as the result of a gust of wind which lifted a miniature dust storm Tues day morning around a barn on the Rayo Bailey farm about four miles south of Zebulon. Workmen in the fields saw the large cloud Theo. Davis Sons, Publishers Clyde Parrish New Athletic Director At Wendell High Clyde Parrish, athletic director and coach of the large consolidated Langley-Bath-Clearwater High School in Langley, South Carolina, has accepted the head coaching position at the Wendell High School according to an announce ment from Wendell School Princi pal, H. Doug Hall. The new Wendell coach is a native of Laurinburg, where he was an outstanding high school athlete. He attended Wake Forest College before going into service and upon his return completed his education at Presbyterian College in South Carolina . Parrish was college president of his freshmen and sophomore classes and received the coveted trophy in recognition of his scho lastic and athletic abilities. After his discharge from service Coach Parrish accepted the position as athletic director and head coach at the large L. B. C. High School and has achieved an outstanding record with his athletic teams. His football teams have twice won the S. C. District 3 B football championship and this past year tied for the State Championship of South Carolina. The basketball and baseball teams have likewise advanced to the District Cham pionship on several occasions and he has also coached the track team. Parrish’s best coaching perfor mance in North Carolina occurred in 1950 when he coached the Laur inburg American Legion Baseball team to the State Finals where they lost 2-1 to Gastonia in the seventh and deciding game of the North Carolina Championship Series. The new athletic coach is mar ried, has one daughter, and expects to move to the Wendell community about the middle of August. Jasper R. Perry Funeral Thursday Jasper R.

The second call was turned in early Wednesday afternoon by members of the Mrs. Morris Hood farm on highway 96 a few miles south of Zebulon. It was reported that the blaze probably started from the burners in the barn, but farmhands succeeded in killing the fire before any appreciable damage was done.
