In 'Dimes' Drive
' Commander Raymond Pippin of

in behalf of the BLUE CRUTCH.
The Blue Crutch is the Legion’s
effort to help in the annual
MARCH OF DIMES CAMPAIGN.
All money raised will be turned
over to the March of Dimes Fund.
Please help this worthy cause as

will be needed to continue the
fight against polio in this year. Be
sure that you wear one of the Blue
Crutches to show that you have
faith that this dread disease will
be eventually wiped out.
Biblical Footnote
In the Bible there is a passage
that reads, “The chariots shall rage
in the streets, they shall jostle
one against another in the broad
ways: they shall seem like torches,
they shall run like the lightnings.”
Which, in away, sounds suspi
ciously like an ordinary Tar Heel
highway.

A. A. Group Is
Formed in Zebulon
Formation of a local group of
Alcoholics Anonymous, with meet
ings every Monday and Thursday
night at 7:30 p.m., was announced
here this week. The meetings are
held on the 2nd floor of the Zeb
ulon Drug Store building. Anyone
with a drinking problem, or any
one interested in seeking help for
a friend or relative, will be wel
come. Anyone needing immediate
help from the local group is invit

phoning Zebulon 6263.
Fellowship Association
Alcoholics Anonymous is a fel
lowship of men and women who
share their “experience, strength
and hope” with each other to
solve their common problem and
to help others to recover from
alcoholism.
Since “A. A.” was founded in
Akron, Ohio, nearly 20 years ago,
the membership has grown to an
estimated 200,000 persons in ap
proximately 5,500 local groups in
the United States, Canada and 40
foreign countries.
Core of A. A. Program
The core of the A. A. program is
that the alcoholic who no longer
drinks is uniquely able to work
with and help the man or woman
who honestly wishes to stop
drinking.
A. A. literature points out that
“The only requirement for mem
bership is an honest desire to stop
drinking. A. A. has no dues or
fees. It is not allied with any
sect, denomination, politics, or
ganization or institution .. .
neither endorses nor opposes any
causes. Our primary purpose is
to stay sober and to help other
alcoholics to achieve sobriety.”
Literature is also available from
the local group.

Zebulon Lions, currently engag
ed in selling tickets to an All-
Night Sing in an effort to raise
money for the Wakelon School
band, will be working next Friday
to show that Raleigh’s Police Chief
Tom Davis was completely wrong
when he arrested Lions President
Frank Oliver Kemp last Monday
on a lottery charge in connection
with the project.
The arrest was made following
a meeting of the Raleigh Lions
Club, at which the local man
made a brief talk explaining that
the local club had undertaken a
big project and would welcome as
sistance.
Police Chief Davis, a member
of the Raleigh Lions, listened as
Frank told of the Zebulon Lions’
project to raise $4,000 to uniform
the Wakelon School band.
When Frank sat down, the po
liceman skipped out of the meet
ing, had a warrant drawn, and
rushed back with additional police
support to arrest the surprised
Lion.
Counsel for Kenap includes F. D.
Finch and Ferd Davis of Zebulon
and Howard Manning of Raleigh.
The tickets being sold by Lions
and others are for an All-Night
Sing. A 1956 Chevrolet will be giv
en away free as a door prize dur
ing the event.
Wednesday evening Lion Kemp
appeared on WNAO-TV to give
his side of the story. His appear
ance, plus newspaper publicity, has
called state-wide attention to the
Zebulon Lions’ project.
During the week many citizens
of Raleigh have called and made
personal visits to Zebulon to ex
press regret for Davis’s action.
