THE ZEBULON RECORD Zebulon, N. C., Thursday, March 13,1958 Volume XXX. Number 98. Theo. Davis Sons, Publishers Open Letter To Dogs Crab Your Tails and Run jivu.nuuii juu uimigjf iic-ci-iicu, carrion-eating, suck-egg dogs. We feel we ought to warn you. You have had it. If you don’t have a license, you had better skedaddle! The ordinance prohibiting you from running up and down the streets and in the suburbs, disturb ing the homo sapiens, is in ef fect. The mayor and town board of commissioners passed such an ord inance by demand of your so-call ed best friend, man. You just can’t run around unli censed, now, with no cares or woes. The populace of Zebulon didn’t like you doing that. They didn’t like your arrogance, your inso lence, and your uppance in think ing you own the “biggest little town on earth.” You will have to put your tails between your legs in submission. Man has to be submissive, too, you know. He has to knuckle under to the federal and state governments by paying taxing taxes. He has to obey the laws of the highways, and if he doesn’t have the proper driver’s permit or auto license, he has to pay the penalty. He has to do a lot of things he doesn’t like to do. But it is for the welfare of hjs fellow citizen. So, in closing, you will have to abide by the ordinance the mayor and town board of commissioners set up. You will have to have a license for free travel — and only four of you have been licensed so far, according to a report re ceived from the town offices. You are not to disturb your neighbors or owners by uncultured voicings in the night, trespassing into neighbor’s yards, chewing up the morning or afternoon pa pers, carrying off door mats, or over-turning garbage cans. There are so many things you must be aware of. So many things. Or it’s into the dog pound you go. And you won’t like that, for ,it won’t be pleasant. The pound will be located on East Vance Street at the old court house building. It will be just a dinky little affair, only 12 ft. long, 6 feet wide and 5 feet high. You won’t like it there. The treatment you will get won’t be good for your personality. You will become warped, full of resentment, sour at the world. We don’t want these things to happen to you. We love you, but to love in this, world nowadays, it seems, one has to conform, re form and become regimented. Here’s hoping for a pleasanter, happier existence for you. A li censed existence. For the mayor and town officials say the ordi nance will be enforced. How well, we can’t say. But to be safe, get yourself a license, now, today! So long and happy hunting. Lifts 1000 Lb. Trailer And Takes Off Wheels If you have to steal, don’t do it from a person who has a brother who is a law enforcement officer. Constable James Richardson last Saturday night apprehended the thief who stole two tires and two wheels from his brother, I. B. Rich ardson of Route 4, Zebulon. Constable Richardson said his brother reported the theft occurred on Monday, March 3. McKenzie Wright, Negro about 30, I?t. 4, Zebulon, admitted the theft of the tires and wheels, Con stable Richardson said. Wright, according to the officer, said he took the wheels off Rich ardson’s farm trailer parked un derneath the barn shelter. The trailer weighs more than a 1,000 pounds. “He claimed he picked up the trailer himself and disengaged the wheels,” Constable Richardson said. Wright, when apprehended, had one of the tires on his 1949 auto mobile. Under questioning, he took the constable to his home and the other tire was found behind the re frigerator. The tire was covered with an ironing board. Constable Richardson said Wright said after he took the wheels off the trailer he took the tires off the rims and walked one and one-half miles and threw the rims into Herbert Perry’s farm pond. , Wright posted a $500 bond. He will be given trial at Zebulon Re corder’s Court. Native Son Making Name For Himself In Television Field H. Cioid Wade, Jr. Gov. Luther Hodges Principal Speaker At Club Dedication OPEN FOR BUSINESS EVEN WITH SLUMP OF US ECONOMY Robert Daniel Massey, cashier of Peoples Bank and Trust Co., revealed yesterday that he believes “we are definitely in a stage of re cession.” He added that he doesn’t think the period of recession will last too long, however. He said the local banking firm hasn’t been doing an extreme amount of loan business since the recession. “Our loans are about the same in number as last year,” the cash ier stated. Massey said that loans are hard er to get now than in the past. Per sons who desire loans must put up more security. “But tell the people we are still in the loaning business,” the cash ier ended. [°wn[s »W«09fcfeWj Ne . Repairs, $12,000 ■** ** rf Woitfc The streets of Zebulon are in the worst shape they have been in in a very long time. Town Manager Willie B. Hop kins revealed yesterday that the town’s thoroughfares have suf fered severely from the wintry weather that has held Zebulon in its grips. “All the streets are in need of repair,” Hopkins said. “The freez ing, then thawing has caused un told damage.” He estimated that it will cost approximately $12,000 to make the repairs. Church, Sycamore, North and Wakefield streets suffered most and are in need of repairs the most. These four streets were the first which were hard topped in town. Hopkins said $7,500 is ready to be applied for street replacement. He did not know where the other funds would be gotten for pay ment, but he did not believe the town would float a bond issue. Repaving of the streets is ex pected to start within the next two weeks, Hopkins said. “We are waiting for the weath er to become more settled,” he said. Hopkins could not say whether the street repairing will be con tracted or whether it will be done by the State Highway and Public Works Commission. NO CLUES Police Officer Willie B. Hoprfns , has reported there are no new developments in the cases of thefts from Zebulon Supply Co. and Par rish Grocery and Market. Gov. Hodges Luther H. Hodges, Governor of North Carolina, is scheduled to de liver the major address at the ded ication of the new Zebulon Lions Club building on East Lee Street. District Lions Governor G. Paul Carr of Hillsboro will follow the Governor with a speech and dedi cation in Lionism. The dedica tion of the building has been set for Friday night, March 21. The ceremonies, at which approximate ly 400 dignitaries and Lions are expected, will be preceded by a banquet. Senior Woman's Club To Meet Senior Woman’s Club member, you are requested to be present at the meeting on Tuesday, March 18. At no meeting held for some time will there be such important busi ness to be transacted, Mrs. A. S. Hinton, president, revealed. Mrs. Exum Chamblee, program chairman, will have charge of the program for the month of March. The speaker has not been an nounced. Clinic Dates Wednesday, March 19, has been set for pre-school clinic day at Wakelon School. All chil dren who will enter the school for the first time next fall should be present for the examination given by the county health doc tor and health nurse. DINNER AGAIN The ladies of Zebulon Metho dist Church will sponsor anoth er luncheon on Tuesday, March 18, from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. in the Fellowship Hall of the church. The price of tickets will be $1.00. A young man from Zebulon is making a name for himself in tele vision. H. Cloid Wade, Jr., 23, has risen from the ranks of WUNC-TV at Chapel Hill to become a full-time studio manager. “Working in television is very fascinating,” Wade said. “I like it very much.” Wade’s duties as studio manager of the Chapel Hill unit of the Greater University’s television station—there are others at the Woman’s College and N. C. State College—are to see that the tele vision productions got underway at the appointed time set for them, the responsibility of seeing that the crew members are at their proper stations, such as the continuity script girl, the cameramen, light ing technicians, audio technicians, and all the persons who help to en gineer the productions. “And that is quite a job, seeing that everything goes well during a televising schedule,” he said. After his discharge from the Army in June of 1956, Wade en rolled in the business school of the University of North Carolina. He planned to take 3 degree in business administration, radio and television. He still plans to get his degree, but at present his full-time posi tion as studio manager will not allow him to take the prescribed courses at the University. “One day I saw an advertise ment in the Daily Tar Heel, the student body newspaper, wanting a production assistant at the Uni versity’s television station. I ap plied and got the job.” Wade stayed production assist ant for two months and was then promoted to the audio portion of the production department as boom man. His job as boom operator was the placement of the mike during a production. “The boom is a mike attached to a long metal arm, sort of like a giraffe’s neck,” Wade said. “It can cover a 180 degree area to pick up voices during a production.” It wasn’t long until he received another promotion, that of camera (Continued on Page 5) Too Large To Do Justice Music Head To Quit June 1 Confirmation of the report in last week’s issue of The Record that Dowd Davis, Zebulon Baptist Church minister of rtrusic, had re signed has been received. On Tuesday, the following state ment was released from the offices of the church, under the direction of the Rev. W. Arnold Smith, pas tor. The statement reads: Mr. Dowd Davis, minister of music of the Zebulon Baptist Church, tendered his resignation to become effective as of the first of June, 1958. Mr. Davis, in his written resignation to the Board of Deacons two Sundays ago, stated that his decision to re linquish the duties of the music program was based upon the ex tent of the music program here. The program is too large, he feels, for him to be able to do justice to it and his Seminary studies at the same time. Mr. Davis’ resignation was re ceived reluctantly and “we shall certainly hate to see him and his lovely family de part from our community.” Arrangements are underway to secure a replacement for Mr. Davis in the position of minister of music and organist of the church.
