(FCDA Photo) Plans Are Being Readied by Lions Club to Buy School Band Uniforms The Board of Directors of the Zebulon Lions Club met Tuesday night at the Municipal Building with four representatives from band uniform companies, Lion President Frank Kemp has re ported.

Ion with the drive opening on j Thursday, it has been announced by Robert L. McMillan, Jr., gen- j eral chairman and Frank C. Wil son, county chairman.

A kick-off luncheon for all vol unteers is to be held in Raleigh, Wednesday at 1 p.m. at the Raleigh Woman’s Club. The Crusade will be conducted here through homes, businesses, and organizations. Funds raised here will go toward j the support of the free cancer detection center at Rex Hospital, which has been visited by 239 per sons this year from Zebulon and the immediate vicinity, according to McMillan. “We will keep 40 per cent of the Wake County cancer dollar here for education and service; 30 per cent will go into the great national research program; 20 per cent is earmarked for the Cancer Nursing Home at Lumberton and only 101 per cent is directed into the na tional program of education and service,” McMillan declared. “This is the most important cam pagin in our history. Over 1,000 re searchers and scientists are being supported by the American Can cer Society. However, we need funds to underwrite more such men. We are closing in on the problem of cancer and we must in vest more to assure total victory as early as possible,” McMillan commented. 125 persons died with cancer in the county last year. An estimated 600 persons in the county have cancer now, but at least half can I be saved by early diagnosis and 1 early treatment, the goal of the American Cancer Society. “Fight Cancer with a Checkup and a Check” is the 1956 slogan.

Mrs. Elizabeth McCubbin, su perintendent of North Carolina Women’s Prison at Raleigh, asked those present to go with her on an imaginary trip through the penal institution. The women entering prison are brought to the reception center, she said. Here they are searched, given a shower bath, fingerprinted, given psychological tests, salve for the hair, and thorough physical ex aminations in the prison hospital. Afterwards they are assigned to their cell, an all white and green cubicle with bed, lavatory and reading material. They remain in this reception center for about five days, the length of time it takes to complete the examinations and tests. “If they are between 16 and 22 years old, they are sent to the first offender’s cottage,” Mrs. Mc Cubbin said. “These cottages are * of ranch style design, with attrac tive rooms.” There is one cottage for the white females and one for the col ored. Here each girl has a room to herself and is responsible for the upkeep of the room. She may re main at this cottage as long as her behavior is good. When a girl misbehaves, she is sent to the cell block. This is a two-story red brick building. Here the girls are placed behind black bars and sleep on steel dou ble decker beds. There is no chance for the girls to have any privacy in the cell block,” the speaker said. “They do (See CLUB, Page 7) Gas Soaked Rags Cause Fire Tuesday Gasoline soaked rags ignited by a stove caused $200 worth of dam ages to Eddins Oil Company Tue? day.
