There will be a vis it to a farm, a train ride and other activities planned for the interest and enjoyment of the kindergarten set. A special program will be pre sented for parents and friends at Christmas and at the close of the school. Mrs. Bunn is the former Grace McLeod of Elizabethtown.

Water Bills Good The “cut off water promptly” demands made some time ago by the town commissioners is really paying dividends. In fact, four persons paid their water bill twice last month, ac cording to Water Commisisoner Willie B. Hopkins. All water bills are now up to date. Hopkins said no water bill is past the two month date due. .And henceforth, it’s pay your water bill promptly or the water will be disconnected.

Water Shortage Wakefield families being served by Zebulon’s water system have put up a howl to Water Commis sioner Willie B. Hopkins. These families are almost un able to get any water during the hours of from 11 to 2 and from 5 to 7 p.m. Hopkins said this is because the greatest amount of water is used during these hours by the town folk. Another reason is because the water pipe line to Wakefield is inadequate for the furnishing of water to residents there. The water commissioner urges that persons not use excessive amounts of water for their yards and gardens. He said some people just turn on their water and let it run. ■ So far there has been adequate water for the town populace, and no complaints have been voiced.
