Truth is always the strongest argument. — Sophocles Mrs. R. Wesley Liles Mrs. Norman M. Screws Mrs. G. Hermit Corbett Mrs. J. Raleigh Alford Board Wives Accomplished and Talented The wives of the commissioners leave the business of running the town government to their hus bands. They admit they have enough to do keeping their homes intact and running smoothly. They believe this is their primary duty and they fulfill it to perfection. They are open to give opinions and discussion about the problems and concerns of the town, they said, but their husbands never ask or consult them. Which suits the wives very well, indeed. They have enough on their minds anyway. Two of the wives are business women. Two are not. All are full time homemakers, dedicated to serving their families to the best of their abilities. Mrs. G. Hermit Corbett Mae Belle Corbett, five feet two inches tall, 120 pounds, with eyes of bluish gray and just a touch of gray in her burnished brown hair, has spent this summer putting fruits and vegetables in the freezer locker. She admits that she loves to can, and “the family is especially thankful for the things in the winter time.’’ She would like to fish more if she could find the time. Her preference is not fancy fishing, but the plain old reed pole type on some farm pond. And if she had the money and the time she would like to travel Travel has always interested her, and the far away places fascinate her. Wafer Rates Hiked Water is going to cost more in Zebulon from now on. The monthly flat rate has been upped from $1.50 to $2. When the Town Board met July 9, Commissioner Elizabeth Ellett made a motion that the monthly flat rate for water be increased fifty cents. This motion was sec onded by Commissioner Norman Screws, and approved by the rest of the commissioners present. This increase will be put into a separate bank account and used to pay for the water and sewer line to the proposed clinic that is to be built in the future just out side of Zebulon on Highway 64. After costs of water and sewer to the clinic are paid, the addi tional revenue from water billi will be used for permanent water and sewer improvements. The other major business of the Board at the July 9 meeting was the levying of privilege taxes Commissioner G. K. Corbett made a motion, seconded by J. Raleigh Alford, to levy the same privilege tax on business establishments for the fiscal year 1957-58 as in the 1956-57 year. Peoples Bank and Trust Com pany pays the highest privilege tax in Zebulon. It is charged $50 Ranking next are drug stores and furniture stores, being taxed $25, Retail merchants fall in the lowest bracket, having to pay only $10. Mrs. Corbett, wife of Commis sioner Kermit Corbett, is the only daughter of Ivey Narron and the late Mrs. Narron. She has two brothers, Roney and Ottis. Two brothers, Henry and Frank, are dead. Mr. and Mrs. Corbett were mar ried May 7, 1920. Two sons were bom to them, Esten, now deceased, and Fred, who resides in Warren ton. She loves to cook and can cook “anything.” Recipes don’t bother her. She just “cooks out of her head, mixing a little of this, a little of that, and tasting as I go along to see if its right.” She couldn’t name her specialty, but her husband said the chess pie she makes “just won’t quit.” During the summer flower gar dening takes up quite a bit of her spare time. She has a green thumb and finds flowers easy to grow. Her preference in flowers runs from roses to tulips. No, she doesn’t care for potted plants: “Too much trouble," she said. During her girlhood days, Mrs. (Continued on Page 6) Checks, Cash Totaling $200 Taken Problem Acres Supply Com pany was burglarized between 12 and one o’clock Tuesday, accord ing to Deputy Sheriff Earl Duke.
