Mrs. Clifton Daniel, Jr.
Likes Place Despite Heat
Mrs. Clifton Daniel Jr was
officially welcomed to Zebulon •
Sunday. And she likes it here.
“I like Zebulon very much,” she
said in an interview. “Everything
and everybody is so nice.”
She and her husband were the
guests of honor at an “at home”
given by Mr. and Mrs. E. C. Daniel
Sr. Sunday afternoon from four
until six o’clock.
Mrs. Daniel Jr. was rather re
ticent about answering any ques
tions, and pointed to her husband
and laughingly said:
“He answers all thequestions.”
Daniel, always impeccably
dressed and very courtly, smiled
at his wife’s statement and said:
“You can say my wife likes it
very much here. She would pro
bably like it much better were the
weather not so hot.”
■“It gets hot out in Missouri, too,”
Mrs. Daniel Jr. replied.
The temperature during the re
ception was in the upper nineties.
Questioned further about various
topics, she graciously declined to
give answers.
Mrs. Daniel Jr. was dressed in a
smart dusty pink silk dress, short
sleeved, and wore a corsage of two
white baby orchids. Her shoes
were a criss-cross of beige-colored
straps and high heeled.
When Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Jr.
attended the morning worship ser
vice at the Zebulon Baptist Church
Sunday, she was attired in a two
piece dress of blue with natural
color straw accessories.
The Daniels arrived Saturday
and were feted at a dinner party
at Scandia Village in Raleigh
Saturday night given by Mr. and
Mrs. John K. Barrow of Ahoskie.
Following their visit here with
Mr. Daniel’s parents, they en
trained at Raleigh for New York
at 9:20 Sunday night.
Solutions Given For
"Office Hangover"
By Murine President
Office “hang-over”—that “how
can - I-ever-get-through-the-rest
of-the-day” feeling that hits many
of us every afternoon is a famil
iar problem on the white collar
front and one that still defies sat
isfactory solution.
Modern tensions, poor working
conditions, dissatisfaction with the
job, excessive eating (at least at
noon-time) and a long list of other
probabilities have been cited as
causing this allmost universal
“three o’clock drag.”
But according to James B.

Co., leading eye-drop producer, in

Hospital Official
Sees No Site
In View Now
Attorney Foster Finch, vice
chairman of the Wake County
Hospital Authority, sees no site in
view at present for the proposed
hospital clinic.
The pecan grove site on Poole
Road which was considered some
weeks ago by the Authority and
the Commissioners did not meet
approval and has been temporarily
abandoned.
Vice chairman Finch said the
pecan grove site seemed to be the
most agreeable and satisfactory
site considered by the Authority
and Commissioners thus far, even
though at the last minute it was
cast aside.
At present no other sites are
being considered, he said, and there
are no meetings scheduled for the
Authority or Commissioners as far
as he knows.
He said it may be two or three
weeks before the Authority and
Commissioners meet again, possibly
after the fourth of July.
