Davis Sons, Publishers BOOST TO COMMUNITY INCOME National Guard Payroll Hits New High in 1957 The total income for Zebulon’s National Guard unit was $32,295. 66 during the calendar year 1957, according to CWO Johnsey P. Arnold Administrative-Supply Technician for Battery A, 113th Field Artillery Battalion. This money was paid the offi cers and men of the artillery bat tery for their time devoted to 48 armory drills and the 15-day an nual summer encampment. Capt. Jack Potter, commanding officer of Battery A, said that “we feel this payroll has proved par ticularly useful in the community, because it was earned during peri ods normally considered ‘spare time’ and during a year which saw farm income decline.’’ For each two-hour drill and other scheduled assemblies, Na tional Guardsmen receive a full day’s pay. In addition, the Guardsmen receive credit toward retirement benefits. Citing further financial bene fits of the National Guard to the State of Ndrllh Carolina, Capt.

Whoever heard of a “regular” sub scribing to a National Guard pub lication? I am so badly insulted that I am asking that my name be_ dropped from the subscription list of “The Zebulon Record.” I think that perhaps you enclos ed the wrong form letter and that you intended to advise me that my subscription to “The Record” had exoired.
