Adjutant General Tells Rotarians
They Have Tremendous Impact
Major General Capus M. Way-1
nick, Adjutant General of North
Carolina, told Rotarians meeting
here last Wednesday that Rotary
has a “tremendous effect” on the
business life of the world.
The Adjutant General spoke to
a luncheon of Rotarians gathered
here from clubs in District 771
The luncheon was held in the Na
tional Guard Armory.
He urged business men to take
an interest in politics and to be
come interested in the political
welfare of our country.
He added that he feels we are
slipping in the ethical standards
of business. He was fearful of the
rising crime and delinquency rates
in our nation today, and said un
til we build stronger youths our
nation will not reach its potential.
He was also concerned that we
as citizens are losing our sense of
nationalism and our Puritan sense
of virtues.
Rotarians were also cautioned
by the General not to lose their
sense of human values, to always
be humanitarians in a world faced
with fear, greed and misunder
standing.
General Waynick has had an un
usually broad experience in public
affairs, having served as a daily
newspaper editor, legislator, N. C.
Director of Purchase and Contract,
State Highway Commission Chair
man, head of the Democratic Party
in this state, United States Am- j
bassador both to Nicaragua and to!
Colombia, and finally as head of j
the National Guard.
The Assembly was held for j
presidents-elect and secretaries
elect of District 771. Zebulon
Rotary Club was host to the club’s i
first district-wide gathering.
Is 21-Year-Old
Junior At ACC
A pretty brunette curly haired
college student was named “Miss
Zebulon of 1960” Friday night.
Peggie Nell Greene, 21-year-old
Junior at Atlantic Christian Col
lege, broke into tears of joy when
she was selected in the beauty
pageant sponsored by Zebulon
Lions Club.
“I can’t believe it is true. I’m
so excited,” she cried.
This is the first beauty contest
Miss Greene has ever entered, and
because of her being named win
ner she will represent Zebulon in
the “Miss Wake County beauty
pageant at Fuquay Springs May
Miss Greene, who possesses one
of the most personable personali
ties anywhere, has a radiant
heart-shaped face framed with
black curly hair worn short, wide
set brown eyes with sparkling
highlights, and measurements of
bust, 36; waist, 25^; hips, 38;
height, 5-10; and weight, 138.
She is a music education major
at Atlantic Christian, and plans
to teach following her graduation.
If she doesn’t like teaching, which
she thinks she will, she might give
the night clubs a try.
“I love to sing and I believe I
would like to have a try at night
club singing,” she said. “This
would also give me a chance to
do some dramatics.”
No, she has no aspiration for the
Metropolitan Opera.
Miss Greene is quite domestic.
In the kitchen she can put together
anything and it comes out some
thing French chefs would oo-la-la
about. Her specialty, she says, is
spaghetti. Yes, she adds all sorts
of extra garnishes, something here,
something there.
She doesn’t sew, doesn’t like to,
in fact. “But I do hem,” she laugh
ed, her laughter running the scales.
She considers her hobbies water
skiing, music and swimming. Many
weeks during the summer she
spends at her father’s cottage on
