Importance of Guard Drive Cited By Mayor A Proclamation As mayor of the town of Zebulon, I wish to call to the attention of our citizens the importance of the one-day recruiting drive of the National Guard here February 25. At the moment the National Guard of this country is at the great est strength in its history. But our military planners wish it to be larger still. This is in line with present policy of strengthening our reserve forces so that we will not have to support indifinitely a large, active military establishment. These same volunteer citizen-soldiers who provide us with an economical and efficient defense force, serve also in time of peace as a trained and valuable shield against the ravages of natural disaster. For these reasons, I appeal to the citizens of this community to support wholeheartedly the coming effort of their National Guard to enlist new members. In this way those who do not serve actively can give support to an organization which performs an invaluable service for us all. Wilbur T. Debnam, Mayor Wilbur T. Debnam LENTEN SERVICES Lenten Worship Services will begin Sunday morning at the Zeb ulon Methodist Church. Evening Fellowship During Lent “An Introduction to Five Spirit ual Classics” Feb. 19 (1) The Confessions of St. Augustine: Mrs. Andy Jenkins, leader. “My Personal Experiences with Indian Americans,” Mr. Walter Page, speaker. Feb. 26, Spiritual Life Devotion al: Miss Sarah Eaton (2) The Imitation of Christ, Thomas Kempis, Mrs. Douglas Finch, leader. Mar. 4 (3) The Practice of the Presence of God, Brother Law rence.

Debnam today called on the citizens of Zebulon and the surrounding communities to “support wholeheartedly” the one-day recruiting drive of the National Guard February 25. The drive is designed to help meet the national quota of 75,000 new Guardsmen this fiscal year. The goal set for the campaign here is seven (7). Mayor Debnam said that while the total strength of the National Guard is' now the highest in his tory, more members are needed “in line with present policy of strengthening our reserve forces so that we will not have to sup port indefinitely a large, active military establishment.” He stressed the fact that the National Guard deserves support because it serves both as an effe rent and economical part of our national defense and as a valuable relief force in time of natural dis asters such as foolds, fires, and storms. Aiding the National Guard in its recruiting drive, Mayor Deb nam said, would enable those not engaged actively in the defense of our country to support those who are. March of Dimes A total of $940.70 was collected during the March of Dimes cam paign, Franklin R. Jones, chair man, said yesterday. Jones gave a broken down list of the following contributions: United Fund, $455; Riley Hill School, $15; Wakelon School, $170; Shepard School, $80; Blue Crutch Tag Day, $70; Coffee Day at Hil liard’s Restaurant, $10; cannisters at various business establishments, $50; March of Mothers, $50; and special gifts, $40.70. Safe to Take Cold Coins Out of Mattresses Now “It’s safe to take those gold coins out of the mattresses now,” Robert Daniel Massey, acting cash ier of Peoples Bank, said recently. Little by little, Uncle Sam has come around to the view that Americans can hold as many gold coins as they choose. The government on April 5, 1933, ordered Americans to sur render within three days — at face value — all gold coins, bull ion and certain certificates. “The easing of U. S. curbs on gold coins is only one example of gold’s growing freedom,” Mas sey said. Gold — in any form — is espe cially attractive to hoarders at times when doubts arise as to the stability of a nation’s currency, he said. The collapse of Uncle Sam’s 23 year-old ban on gold coins, etc., has brought about brisk retail sales. Any gold coins will be accept ed at the local bank with out any questions or restrictions, Massey said.
