good deed.
“You’ve just qualified for the
first rank in Scouting,” Mr. Can
nady said to the new Cubs. “You’ll
now follow an out-of-doors trail,
starting with animals. Before you
get to the Tenderfoot Scout rank,
you will have gone through some
adventures with the wildest ani
mals—the Wolf, the Bear, the
Lion. Then you can be a Webelos.
Finally you will become a Boy
Scout.”
He urged parents to participate
in Scouting with their sons. “A
boy in the Cub Scouts cannot ad
vance without his parents’ help,”
he warned.

There's No Slight
Intended To Local
Community
Zebulon telephone subscribers
were reassured Wednesday that
the local community will be listed
as prominently as neighboring
Wendell on the cover of the new
telephone directory when it is
published in the near future.
Jimmy Brooks, Southern Bell’s
Raleigh office manager, said the
book will be headed, “Wendell
and Zebulon Directory.”
“It’s just a matter of who comes
first in the alphabet as to which
is listed first on the cover,” Mr.
Brooks explained.
Some local people were alarmed
when notices confirming classified
listings showed Zebulon numbers
would appear in “Wendell Direc
tory, Zebulon Exchange.”
“That was an error,” Mr.
Brooks said.
The new directory will contain
Wendell and Zebulon listings in
the front, followed by the Wen
dell and Zebulon classified section.
Numbers on one exchange may be
dialed from the other exchange
without going through a long dis
tance opej-ator.
Following the local classified
section, Apex, Cary, Garner,
Knightdale, and Raleigh exchange
numbers will appear, followed by
the usual yellow pages for Raleigh
and other communities in the
book.
Among those calling Mr. Brooks
to inquire about the directory title
was Mayor Ed Hales.

052.20 has been deposited at Peo
ples Bank & Trust Company. This,
he said, is 22% of the total year’s
goal of $4,637.60.
Hudson said: "It will be a shame
if the goal is not reached. The j
agency figures are at the very
minimum, and if the goal is not i
reached these agencies will go
lacking.”
He urged persons who have not
contributed or who have been!
missed by solicitors to turn their
contributions in to the cashier of
the local bank.

Local Men Fight For Loan Co.
Thirteen Zebulon businessmen
presented testimony Tuesday, Oc
tober 20, before a bearing officer
of the Federal Home Loaq Board
in Washington, D. C., as to why
First Federal Saving and Loan
Company of Raleigh should es
tablish a branch loan office in
Zebulon.
Foster D. Finch, Zebulon attor
ney who is spear-heading the pro
ject, said a very strong case was
presented to the hearing offcer.
He added that it was a very pleas
ant meeting and he feels very op
timistic about the outcome.
Zebulon has been seeking to
have a branch loan office of the
Raleigh firm established here since
early last Spring. Wheels were
set into motion then for securing
a loan company here.
Wendell Building and Loan
Company registered protest in the
form of a letter at the Washington
hearing, Finch said. This firm
had no representatives at the
meeting.
Finch said each man from Zebu
Ion present at the meeting went
on the stand and presented some
evidence as to the need for such
an institution in this area. All tes
timony given was very favorable.
All testimony was recorded and
will be transcribed and then will
be presented to the full board for
a thorough review.
Finch said he heard Tuesday
from R. D. Beam, executive vice
president of First Federal Savings
and Loan, but Beam would not
venture a guess when action would
be taken by the Federal agency
or when the town might secure the
loan company.
There is a possibility that Zeb
ulon was delayed in securing a
loan office because the town of
Fuquay made application at the
same time. Finch said First Fed
eral never grants two applications
simultaneously.
Representing Zebulon at the
meeting were Finch, Ferd Davis,
town attorney; H. C. Wade, E. C.
Daniel, Raymond Pippin, Mayor
Ed Hales, Commissioner Pat Farm
er, Commissioner Thurman Hepler,
Thomas Scarborough, Thomas
Monk, Aaron Lowery, Postmaster
M. J. Sexton, and Police Chief Wil
lie B. Hopkins.
First Federal representatives
were J. M. Peden, president of
First Federal Savings and Loan
Company and also Peden Steel
Company; R. D. Beam, executive
vice president of First Federal; V.
A. Jones, First Federal official;
and Howard Manning, First Fed
eral attorney.

Halloween Carnival

sor a Halloween Carnival Friday
night. Festivities will begin in
the school auditorium at 7:30 p.m.
At 8 o’clock everyone will go to
the primary building where the
various games will be held. In
addition to the various Halloween
games, there will be hay rides and
a room set aside for dancing to
the latest records.
At present, the country is very
stable politically, the newspaper
man said. This has been so since
last October when Ayub Khan
came into power and declared
marshal law.
Khan was former chief of staff
of the army and is tremendously
popular with the people, Green
said, and has restored a sense of
order. Since Khan has been in
power, political viewpoints are not
as diverse as previously.
Pakistan was formed in 1947
from those parts of India which
had a predominantly Moslem pop
ulation. Geographically it falls
into two sections: Western Paki
stan and Eastern Pakistan. East
ern Pakistan has an area of 94,501
square miles, and consists of the
province of East Bengal.
The population of East Pakistan
is about 10 times that of North
Carolina, Green said.
There is the ever present prob
lem of unemployment. Unlike the
United States and many other
Western countries, the people look
to their government to supply them
with employment.
Green said Pakistan is very pro
America. They like America and
its people. Of course, they do not
understand everything America
does and some of the things it does
are not liked.
Pakistan is very anti-Commu
nist, Green said, and is fighting
fiercely to keep Communism from
infiltrating into the country.
Another great problem facing
the country is the health of the
people. A huge health problem
exists, Green said. Cholera, which
is endemic, and smallpox strike
thousands and thousands of per
sons each year.
Last year the United States sent
a health team to Pakistan to treat
the populace stricken with di
seases. Green said this group was
well received by the Pakistanians
and the small capital outlay spent
by the U. S. government for the
venture was well worth it.
The country has very little elec
tric power. A giant hydroelectric
power dam is being constructed
now which will supply the coun
try with much needed electric
current.
The heart of the transportation
system is the river. River navi
gation is highly developed and the
majority of the commerce and
travel is done by this mode. Pak
istan’s roads are abominable.
Pakistan’s economy is essential
ly agricultural. It produces much
of the world’s supply of raw jute,
which is the country’s chief ex
nnrt
The educational system is not
highly developed in this country.
The British system of teaching is
used in the schools. Education is
mandatory for only five years.
There are two universities in the
country. Many of the professors
in these universities are Ameri
cans on Fulbright scholarships.
Colleges, more like our prep
schools, are found in the province.
The religion of the country is
predominantly Moslem, with some
Hindu. However, Green said
Protestantism is making some
headway. Baptists are the lead
ing denomination, and the Rev.
Troy Bennett of Winston-Salem is
the foremost Southern Baptist
missionary there.
For city travel the jinrikisha is
the vehicle used. To own a Chev
rolet automobile is the highest
form of prestige. Green couldn’t
'explain why the Chevrolet.
There are two seasons—actual
ly six, Green amended—in this
