THE ZEBULON RECORD Volume XXX, Number 14. Zebulon, N. C., Friday, November 16, 1956 Theo. Davis Sons, Publishers Cub Scouts May Disband Because of Lack of Support Without the support of the townspeople, the Cub Scouts may become a thing of the past. The Cub Scouts, a most worth while organization, has not had a group meeting since the early sum mer. “It is impossible to have ajneet ing,” Scoutmaster Eldred Roun tree said, “because we don’t have enough den mothers. Two den mothers cannot possibly take care of between 35 and 40 Cub Scouts.’ Scoutmaster Rountree wiped a way any thought that he has re signed or may resign. The rumor has been rampant that he has re signed. “I have a job to do,’’ he said, “and I am going to try to do it to the best of my ability.” He has been head of the Cub Scouts for the past one and one half years. Only two den mothers have been secured so far. These two women cannot handle 40 boys anxious tc learn Cub Scouting. “No den mother should have over eight boys,” Rountree said “We prefer they have even less— six at the most.” Being a den mother is purely voluntary and there is no pay at tached, except the reimbursement of love from the boys and the (Continued on Page 6) United Find Captains Report Drive Results Reports of collections for the United Fund have been made from the following group captains: Mrs George Tucker, northwest Zebulon, $300.48; Mrs. Garland Godwin, northeast, $98; Mrs. Gilford Buf kin, southeast, $75; G.

Rural Fire Dept Deposits Savings The Zebulon Rural Fire Depart men has stashed away $1,000 in the Home Savings and Loan As sociation in Rocky Mount.

Massey, chairman of the Zebulon Baptist Church pulpit committee, has quashed rumors that a minister has been secured for the church. The church has been without a minister since the resignation of the Rev. Mr. Asbury. Supply min isters have been filling the pulpit each Sunday. Dr. Massey said there are still many prospects who are being in terviewed and contacted. He said he could not say when a minister will be found to take over the position vacant at the church. “At present, there is no-one in the immediate foreseeable future,” the chairman said. New appointments to the Zebu Ion Recreation Commission have been announced and released for publication. At the last meeting of the Com mission held in July, Milton (Pete) Bryant was named chairman to re place George Henry Temple. Tem ple held the chairmanship of the Commission for the past three years. During Temple’s three years as head of the Commission the organ ization has struggled from a shaky infancy until it is now a full grown thriving organization. The summer recreation program is now one of the finest in the state, and promises to become even greater in future years. “We feel that the community has been made richer and fuller since Zebulon has undertaken a recrea tion program,” Mrs. James Creech said. Mrs. Creech, who has served as secretary of the Commission for the past three years, is being suc ceeded by Miss Ruby Dawson. Fred Beck will replace Bryant (Continued on Page 6) Two-In-One Egg Weighs One-Half Pound Elmer Finch’s White Rock hens believe in hitting the jackpot when it comes to the size of eggs laid. Last week Mr. Finch collected the eggs from his flock and he found a giant size product in one of the nests. Weighing the egg, it tipped the scales at one-half pound. Still curious as to what was on the inside, the egg was broken and it was found to have another per fectly formed egg on the inside. This egg was broken and examin ed. It had the usual contents, reg ular albumen and yolk. The flock has been observed carefully since then by Mr. Finch, but he cannot pick out the hen that walks with an unusual strut or air of haughty pride. Common Sense Needed In Flower Arranging Common sense is the greatest thing needed in flower arranging Willis Honeycutt, Fallon Florist designer-decorator, told the Car men Flowers Garden Club at its November meeting Monday night. "There are rules, yes,” he said, “but if one uses a bit of common sense flower arrangements can turn out well.” Honeycutt gave a demonstration on the art of making arrangements for the Thanksgiving and Christ mas holiday seasons. He told the club that they must select a proper type container and start from there. The containers are half the battle, he said. He urged the women to use their imagination. It might seem weird or strange at first, but experiment with the arrangement. One of the first suggestions was to get the lines of the arrange ment. He used the old ooe, two, three method, commonly called Chinese style. I With center pieces, he urged that [ they should not be made too high or too thick in the center. “Dinner guests like to see the person across the table from them,” the speaker aald. Honeycutt said there are no hard and fast rules governing flower ar ranging . “One should take into considera tion the size of the room, height of ceilings, exposure, where the I arrangement is to be placed, etce tera.” The expert designer cautioned about making the arr§ngements too fussy. “Good arrangments are simple, with good lines. Simplicity is al ways eye-catching,” he said. Mrs. George Tucker, president of the Club, presided over the meeting held in the home of Mrs. A. S. Hinton. The business consisted of cor respondence, the planning of the (Continued on Page 6) /
