CLYDE MORRIS: Something of Mechanical Genius With Local National Guard Unit By CWO Jonnsey P. Arnold Battery A Unit Administrator Sergeant Clyde Walker Morris is regarded as something of a me chanical genius by National Guardsmen in Battery A. Mem bers of the artillery unit were not at all surprised when Sgt. Morris graduated from the Wheel Vehicle Mechanics Course at Ft. Jackson, S. C., with the highest grades at tained by any of the Guardsmen attending the 8-week course. Son of Mr. and Mrs. C. J. Mor ris, the Battery A Motor Sergeant enlisted in the Nat'onal Guard on June 20, 1948, two months before Battery A received Federal recog nition. After completing basic training in the Guard, Sgt. Morris was as signed Senior Mechanic for Bat tery A, working with the war weary old vehicles then used by the unit. On the old trucks’ last 500-mile trip to summer camp at Ft. Mc Clellan, Ala., motorists had plen ty of opportunities to see Sgt. Mor ris, his head buried deep under the hood of a stalled truck or his feet poking out from underneath, as he expertly made necessary repairs with makeshift parts. The Zebulon Guardsmen, short on spare parts for the obsolete trucks, came to depend on Sgt. (Continued on Page 2) Fashion Show Is Highly Successful A showing of Ike Clark of Dallas spring and summer clothes was held last Thursday at Kan non’s Cafe with approximately 100 persons attending. The fashion show was under the direction of Mr. and Mrs. Sam Brooks, representatives from the clothing coutouriere. Models for the occasion were Mrs. Norman Screws, Mrs. Hali burton Yancey, Mrs. Georgia Ruth Croom, Mrs. Sue Fowler, Mrs. Virgie Marshbum, Miss Judy Hood and Miss Sarah Eaton. Mrs. Pauline K. Tant is the re presentative for Ike Clark of Dallas clothes for this section. Following the show a refresh ment hour was held. Sgt. Clyde Morris Polio Vaccinations Are Being Urged For the Public Suppose someone took you aside and said: “You have an enemy who may waylay you and cripple you for life. But I know how you can-stop this enemy. You’ll have to act fast. It won’t cost much money, and it will take only 180 seconds of your time.” If you knew the facts were true, you’d take him up on it, wouldn’t you? Well, the facts are true. The enemy is paralytic polio. If you’re under 40 years old, you’re a possi ble victim. If polio strikes, you may face a life shattered by disease land disability. There is no cure for paralytic polio, but there is a way to prevent it. The preventive is the Salk vaccine. It is safe and it works. Three properly spaced shots—at 60 seconds a shot—gives you pro tection. Over 45,000,000 Americans have been smart enough to get this pro tection. But 60,000,000 in the susceptible age group have been foolhardy enough to neglect it. Don’t be one of the foolhardy ones. The polio season soon starts. You still have time to safeguard yourself and your family if you (Continued on Page 2) Thief Waives Hearing; Bound to Superior Court After his motorcycle caught fire, James Allen Norman either hitch hiked or walked to Zebulon, saw the used cars in J. M. Chevrolet sales lot, crawled in a 1956 Chev rolet and drove it away. Norman was apprehended by a Cary pliceman who stopped Nor man during a routine traffic check. When Norman could not produce a driver’s license or a registration for the car, he admitted under questioning by the policeman that the car was stolen, and Zebulon law enforcement officers were notified. Police Officer Willie B. Hopkins quoted Norman as saying his motorcycle caught fire near Mur raytown on Highway 39, March 3. At approximately 3 o’clock in the morning Norman saw the used car lot here and entered a car possibly to sleep. Finding the car had a key and gas, sleep became distant to Nor man and distance became upper most. He drove the car away. Officer Hopkins said Norman had received a dishonorable dis charge from Camp Eustis, Va. for misappropriating army property. According to M. M. Phillips, J. M. Chevrolet salesman, the car was valued at $1800. Norman’s age was listed at 18 and his birthplace Decatur, Ala bama. He waived preliminary hearings in Zebulon Recorder’s Court last Wednesday and was bound over to Wake County Superior Court for trial during the first week in April, according to Officer Hopkins. Davis Brothers to Head Memorial Day Preparations Ferd Davis, Zebulon attorney and Recorder’s Court Solicitor, and Barrie Davis, editor of the Record, have been named co chairmen of the Memorial Day service to be held Sunday, May 26, it has been announced by Legion Commander W. M. Sutton. At the February meeting of the American Legion Auxiliary, the Auxiliary voted to put the Memo rial Day services in the hands of the Legion, expressing the opinion that it was too difficult for that organization to do it alone. Commander Sutton said that all Gold Star Mothers will be invited to attend this service, and that the graves will be marked with white crosses and American flags. - He also said plans are being ar ranged for a permanent place for the Legion meetings. The next meeting of the Legion will be held at Robert Daniel Mas sey’s home for an outdoor oyster roast. The American Legion has been invited to attend a lecture on the heart by Dr. John Smith, Rocky Mount heart specialist, tonight at the Zebulon Woman’s Club. Serving on the committee with the Davis brothers for preparations for the Memorial Day services will be Guilford Bufkin, Raymond Pip pin, Ralph Bunn, Charles Haw kins, Charles Creech, Leonard Sea well and Sidney Holmes. Haul That Pulp Out Of The Woods Now If you have any pine logs or pulpwood under four inches in di ameter still lying around in the woods, better haul it out before long. The bark beetles will get it if you don’t watch out. R. S. Douglass, forestry special ist for the N. C. Agricultural Ex tension Service at State College, says the deadline for getting these logs out of the woods should be April 1. “Bark beetles are becom ing active on these warm days. They will deposit eggs in pine that has been cut unless it is rather well dried out. After a while these eggs hatch and mature into a new crop of very expensive little pests. They are apt to invade and kill sur rounding pines.” The best control measure, adds Douglass, is to remove from the woods all logs and pulpwood, in cluding tops and lap wood of saw log trees. And while you’re in the woods take a good look at the standing pines. Bark beetles may already be at work on your prized stand, If so, remove the infested trees at once.

Teenage Cross Burners Sentenced Last Thursday Three O’Neals Township white teen-age boys pleaded guilty last Wednesday in Johnston County Recorder’s Court to charges of burning a cross in front of the home of Esau O’Neal, Negro te nant farmer, approximately 500 yards from Corinth-Holders School on Highway 96 at 10 o’clock Thursday night, March 5. The defendants were Edwin At kinson, 16, Donald Wayne Phillips, 16, and Gordon Creech, 18, all of Route 1, Zebulon. Judge William I. Godwin, who presided over the court, continued prayer for judgment on condition that each defendant not associate with or visit each other for six nonths, be at home each night at 7:30 unless accompanied by his parents, remain on good behavior, violate no criminal law for 12 months, not in any manner threaten or molest O’Neal and his wife and not go on their premises, and pay one-third of the court costs. The defendants did not testify. Deputy Sheriff Alvin Narron re ported the boys said they set fire to the cross because O’Neal had signed a petition about a year ago requesting that his son be allowed to attend Corinth-Holders School. The three defendants are former students of the school, but were not attending the school at the time of the cross burning, said the deputy.
