WAKELON HIGH SCHOOL'S MAJORETTES
Attendance and enjoyment of Zebulon parades and Wakelon foot
ball games has been increasing, and three lovely reasons are shown
here. High-stepping during half-time activities are majorette Pat
Phillips, Jackie Mitchell, and Faye Griswold.
Failure of Citizens to
Reach United Fund Coal
Termed 'Lack of Charity'
Preliminary reports on the 1956 United Fund solicitation in
dicate that the Zebulon community is disowning the United Fund
by withholding financial support. This is not the first year the
community has failed to support the united method of giving.
With one exception, the question has been raised annually when
we failed to reach our minimum goal.
Unless a miracle strikes, we will complete the 1956 campaign
with less than 75% of the money required by the United Fund
budget.
Our failure is certainly not the fault of the United Fund
campaign organization. The workers gave generously of their
time and labor. Our failure is due to the almost unanimous re
fusal to give according to our means. In a majority of cases,
only a token contribution of $1.00 or less has been made. This
indicates a disgraceful lack of charity.
If we refuse to give to worthwhile charities through the
United Fund, there remains but one course — to return to the
multiple-appeal, consecutive-campaign method of supporting 15
agencies. This will work a hardship on some, and it means an in
equitable distribution of money for charitable institutions, but it
seems the only solution to the problem of obtaining charity in a
stingy community.

Bazaar
Attend the Methodist WSCS ba
zaar in the recreation room at the
church, Monday, Nov. 20, from 10
a.m. until 10 p.m. A large variety
of linens, wearing apparel, cakes,
pantry supplies, flowers and many
other things will be on sale.
Mrs. Andrew Jenkins, chairman
of the WSCS bazaar, has an
nounced that no plates for lunch
will be served to persons who do
not have tickets.
The bazaar lunch officials origi
nally intended serving only 50
plates, but the demand has been so
great that a few extra tickets were
made. All these tickets have been
disposed of.
The bazaar officials regret that
they must limit the lunch to per
sons who have bought tickets, but
because of the lack of facilities
they feel in order to present the
best service this policy is best.
Plans for the 1957 bazaar are
already in the making for expand
ing the facilities to accommodate
a larger number of peoplefl Mrs.
Jenkins said.
Former Minister Here

And Very Impressed
The Rev. Bev A. Asbury
WRAL-TV Given
Permission toStart
Telecast Dec. 15
Capitol Broadcasting Company
Inc. was today,, notified by the
Federal Communications Commis
sion that WRAL-TV is granted au
thority to begin telecasting on
Channel Five from its studios at the
transmitter site, pending construc
tion of its studios on Western
Boulevard. The Commission has
approved the location of the West
ern Boulevard site for its perma
nent studios.
The announcement was made
this morning by Fred Fletcher, Vice
President and General Manager of
Capitol, who stated Channel Five’s
air target date is December 15,
1956. He further stated the trans
mitter building is nearly complet
ed, the majority of the transmit
ting equipment has been delivered,
and the tower is going up at the
rate of over 100 feet per day, now
being up over 700 feet of the 1170
feet authorized by the F C C.
The following letter has been
received by The Record from the
the Rev. Beverly A. Asbury, form
er minister of the Zebulon Baptist
Church, who now holds a profes
sional chair with a Fulton, Mo.,
college.
“Over the past few months
I have received quite a few letters
from friends in Zebulon, and I
have been unable to answer them
due to physical limitations on my
time. This has caused me no small
concern, because the people of
Zebulon are very dear to me, and I
shall always look upon them as
close friends. If I could possi
bly do so, I would answer each let
ter personally, but since that is
outside the realm of immediate
possibility, I have been in a quan
dary as to what to do.
Then it hit me that a letter to
The Record might be the thing.
I still receive and read The Record
avidly, and it occurred to me that
you might be willing to print a
letter from me to the many friends
there who have so kindly written.
I am writing in the hope that you
will do this for me and so make it
possible for me to communicate
with all instead of just a few. If
you see fit to print this, I extend
my thanks for another service of
generosity and loving kindness—
another in the series of kind acts
that characteristically marked my
relationship to you over the peri
od of my ministry in your com
munity. If you And it impossible to
print this, I know that the reasons
will be good and justiAable, and
you have my complete understand
ing. So, whatever happens, here
goes.
“I have settled here in Fulton
in an apartment and am leading a
truly bachelor existence. I have
adequate physical facilities, but I
cannot quite adjust myself to the
rigors of cooking and houseclean
ing. Consequently, both of those
duties suffer, and the house shows
it. It might bother you if you saw
it, but it doesn’t bother me. Any
way, I am not at home much, and

to the Jamboree is $125.00. Scout
master James Debnam is now con
