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. I First United Fund ! Report Is Given Crafton Hudson, United Fund head, has issued the first report of Fund collections for the 1959 60 campaign. Hudson reported a total of $1, 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. The campaign will close at the end of the week, Hudson, said.

Information Service said East Pakistan is faced with many eco nomic and political problems. Billy Green, vacationing with his family at the home of his parents here after two years with the USIS in East Pakistan, said the former Indian territory is finding solutions tough to its eco nomic and political problems. Bill Green Washington talks. 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. Dedication Week At Antioch Set A week of dedication services at Antioch Baptist Church has been set for next week, the Rev.

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 (Continued on Page 5)
