Home Importance
Discussed by Davis
At Woman's Club
(This was a talk made by Mr.
Davis at the last meeting of the
Zebulon Woman’s Club.)
By Theo. B. Davis
Some one has asked, “What is
the most important thing that
ever happened to me. Many an
swers may be given, yet all real
ize that all those happy occasions
would never have been had it not
been for the first —one’s birth.
Only two people so far as we
know ever lived without having a
father and a mother. All others
of the race came out of the un
known usually one at a time till
today, though billions have passed
on, yet more babies are born till
the earth’s population increases by
thousands upon thousands each
year.
Almost everything beyond the
works of God in nature has been
produced through the minds and
by the hands of people who be
gan life as babies. Not only the
race, but “the world moves for
ward on the feet of little chil
dren.” The hand that rocks the
cradle may rule the world, but a
Supreme being poured the con
tents of that cradle. And God
gave the responsibility of caring
for and training of the little ones
to fathers and mothers. No new
life comes without parents to pro
duce, preserve and propagate the
possibilities of children.
Every home is, or should be big
business. It is an organization
whose capital stock is life. There
is both dependence and independ
ence, and especially cooperation.
As goes the home, so goes the
community, the State, the nation
and the world. If there is har

Plans are being made by the
Rural Fire Department for an
other merbership drive.
These plans were laid at the
Rural Fire Truck meeting held
Tuesday night in the Zebulon Mu
nicipal Building. The members
present voted to open another cam
paign for the purpose of securing
more members and reenlisting de
linquent members.
This drive will begin February
1 and continue until April 1.
Those wishing to join should con
tact Aaron Lowery, secretary, at
Lowery’s Insurance Agency.
During the business session, pre
sided over by President H. H. Ed
dins, the discussion of the eve
ning concerned how to get the
support of the active members,
the enlistment of non-members,
how to secure dues from delin
quent members, and the purchas
ing of new fire fighting equip
ment.
Lowery will send a second letter
to the members who have delayed
or refused in sending dues to the
Department. If after a period of
60 days a member has not paid
any dues, he will be stricken from
the roll.
(Tails by the department upon
non-members during 1955 num
bered 20. The charges for these
calls totaled SSOO. None of these
charges has been collected.
Discussion revealed that the by
laws of the constitution of the de
partment state that these charges
can be collected. The attorney for
this i nit also states that judgment
can be rendered against these
persons who received service calls
and have refused to pay.
Wilie B. Hopkins, fire chief,
said taat accurate records of the
rural fires have been kept. He al
so said that the department could
very well use another truck and
more fire fighting equipment.
Hop dns made the statement that
the to wn of Zebulon had hereto
fore teen bearing the expense of
the gas and oil used by the rural
truck. From now on these charges
will be made to the Department.
He also said that some of the
memteis of the fire fighting crew
are conscious of the fact that they
need an insurance on themselves
in case they get burned or injured
during a call. Many of the mem
bers feel that they should get a
reimbursement for damage to
their clothing.
Ed Kitchings, assistant fire
chief, urged the department to
purchase an auxiliary tank and
truck. He said that there can
never be too much fire fighting
