Vernon Brooks Town Bookkeeper To Be Appointed Next Mon. Night Mayor Wilbur Debnam said the town has not yet employed a bookkeeper. He said there have been five applications for the position thus far. Four of these have been female applicants and one male applicant. The Mayor said the Town Board will consider the applica tions at the September meeting next Monday night, and he “feels reasonably sure” an ap pointment will be made at that time. We can vouch that Ray Good win has one of the most handsome and unusual lamp post lights in Zebulon. And you’ll agree, too, when you’ve heard the tale. Seems that Ray, who is an en gineer with the local division of Carolina Power and Light Co., was out at the John Kemp homestead in Wakefield and discovered this old discarded horse-drawn hearse kerosene head lamp. Ray took the light fixture and, with his ingenuity and tool-skill, mounted it on a cedar post, and added an incandescent light to re place the kerosene light. He erected the lamp post in his yard, and it is truly a handsome ad dition. But it becomes even more fascinating and intriguing when you learn that the lamp fixture used to adorn the horse-drawn hearse of a by-gone era. * Shopping for a supply of shoes to last two growing daughters for the next two years in a foreign country had Mrs. Bill Green in a tizzy recently. Mrs. Green was in Raleigh out fitting the Green daughters, Lisa, two years, and Claudia, nine months, with a supply of footwear. When these wear out, what is she going to do? She is going to send back outlines of the children’s growing feet in an order for more shoes. The Greens will be living in Pakistan, where Bill will be in charge of English-speaking news papers for the U. S. Information Agency. Mrs. Green said, while here, she was anxiously looking forward to living in Dacca. She said she knew living over there would be “very exciting.” Bill, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Lester Green, is a well-known newspaperman, having worked in the past on papers in Shelby, Durham and Morganton. The Greens left by plane for Pakistan from New York on Sun day, August 18. * When J. K. Barrow was flying home from Boston some time ago, the pilot of the private plane in formed him that the Mayflower II could be seen in the distance moored in an Eastern seacoast har bor. The pilot asked his passenger if he would like to have a good look at the replica ship which brought the Pilgrim fathers to America, (Continued on Page 7) WAKELON HIGH SCHOOL Local School Opens Next Wed. Morning Local Man Cleared Of Murder Charge William Gordon Lynch was freed of a manslaughter charge in John ston County Superior Court last Thursday afternoon when a jury returned a not-guilty verdict. The manslaughter charge result ed from a highway accident in De cember, 1955, which fatally injur ed 12-year-old Virginia Annette Moore, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Billy Moore of Route 1, Zebulon. The girl was struck by a car driven by Lynch when she rode a bicycle out of a driveway and started to cross the road in the path of the automobile. She died hours later in Rex Hospital at Ra leigh. Highway Patrolman N. H. Par rish investigated the accident, but ! made no arrest at the time. Lynch i was not blamed for the death by a coroner’s jury. At the February term of Super [ ior Court in 1956, the Grand Jury returned “not a true bill” in the [ case against Lynch. At the June, 1956, term Solicitor i W. Jack Hooks drew a new Bill | against Lynch on the basis of ad ditional evidence. The Grand Jury this time returned a true bill. The trial jury last week did not deliberate long in returning the ac I quittal verdict. Lynch was represented by At torneys William Wellons and Al bert A. Corbett. He is married to the former No na Mae Alford and is the father of one child, a daughter. The fam ily lives in Johnston.
