' THE ZEBULON RECORD Volume XXXV. Number 33. Zebulon, N. C., Thursday, September 8,1960 Theo. Davis Sons, Publishers 36,000,000 of us SQy%99 y i * ^ School Safety Patrolman Cautions Children School’s open. This means there will be children on the streets, going to and from school, making crossings. Local Highway Patrolman B. K. Tucker urges motorists to be on the look-out for these children during the early morning and afternoon hours. He reported that 19 pedestrians were killed in Troop “C” and eight were killed in this year. One of five persons killed is a pedes trian, he further added, and this ratio has been fairly consistent for a number of years. Patrolman Tucker continued, saying that a survey shows that most of the pedestrians killed are children. A toll last year claimed the lives of 173 youngsters under 15 years of age. The patrolman also urges children to be extra careful. He urges them to learn the safety rules—like crossing only at marked intersections, looking both ways, not playing in the street, and fol lowing the safe route to and from school. If a highway patrolman sees a child violating a pedestrian law he will be given a warning, and his parents will be notified. The postal card on which the notification is reads: Dear (name of parent): It recently became necessary that I caution your child, (name of child), for violating one of our pedes trian laws. Since your child’s safety is vitally important to all of us, it is believed that by you again calling the child’s attention to this matter his or her life might be saved. The violation committed in my presence is as follows: (violation). Your cooperation in this matter will be greatly appreciated and if your Highway Patrol can be of any further assistance, please call on us. Respectfully (name of patrolman). Parents can, and should, cooperate with the safety program of the school, Patrolman Tucker said, and they should always set a good example to children when in traffic. Motorists can do their bit by staying constantly alert for chil dren, the patrolman continued, by watching out for and heeding school zone sig^s that mean slow down, watch for the unexpected. All can, „nd should, cooperate with the authorities and the safety programs of the schools. These are mornings of scrubbed faces, starched pinafores, struggles with shirts that won’t stay tucked inside, last minute scrambles for books, tablets and pencils, the slam of doors as hasty steps run down the walk and across the yard. Don’t let’s have to pick them up off the street with a battered-in head, broken bones showing through gory little arms and legs, blood oozing from bulging eyes, mangled for life, or worst of all, dead.

And it’s nice to live in a town where honesty is not just a word but is something that is practiced. For the person or persons who were honest and proved it, they may claim $10 which the Zebulon Chamber of Commerce is holding. The following is a letter to the C of C: ‘ Gentlemen: During my recent vacation to Cape Hatteras my fam ily and I passed through your pret ty city and following your hospit able sign welcoming strangers we stopped at your beautiful Commu nity Park for a picnic. The date was Sunday, August 14. In the evening we still proceeded to Rocky Mount and tanked at a Ail ing station there to my great en barrassment and disappointment, I noticed the loss of my travelers checks, photographic light meter and note book. Trying to remem ber when and where I had had last these items and where I could have lost them we turned back to Zebulon without much hope. Again we went to the now dark Commu nity Park, switched on the light and imagine our surprise and re lief when we saw all items neatly stacked on the long picnic table of the shelter. “We discussed much who could have been the honest finder. We assume that this must have been some child or children who were still playing when we left the Arst time. To reward the honest Ander if you should be able to detect him, her of them I enclose a check for $10.00. Should you not be able to discover the Ander, please accept this check as a small contribu tion to your Community Park which we will always remember as a most pleasant rest for weary travelers. “Sincerely, Hans N. Naumann, M. D.’’ According to the letterhead, Dr. Naumann is associated with Ken nedy V. A. Medical Teaching Group Hospital, Memphis, Tenn. Chamber of Commerce Presi dent Robert D. Massey said the person or persons proving they found and stacked the doctor’s be longings on the picnic table may come by the bank and get the mon etary token. If no one claims the money, Massey said, it will be used for the beneAt of the Park. “It makes one feel good to get a letter like that,” Massey said. “Zebulon has some mighty good, fine and honest citizens.” Methodist' Church Celebrates 52nd Anniversary Sunday The Zebulon Methodist Church, fifty-two years old, will celebrate Homecoming Sunday this week end, September 11, according to an announcement from the minis ter, the Rev. William L. Quick. Sunday at 9:45 a.m. classes for all ages will begin in the Church School. Following the Church School, Morning Worship services will be conducted by the pastor. Roll Call Following Sermon Following the sermon, a Roll Call of the Membership of the Church will be made. The min ister will call the roll alphabetical ly and it is hoped that all resident members will be present to answer the roll call. Dinner On The Grounds Dinner on the church, lawn will follow and the ladies of the church will spread the picnic lunch for all persons present to enjoy. Mrs. Frank Wall, president of the Wom an’s Society of Christian Service, is in charge of the dinner. She will be aided by members of the three circles of the WSCS. Former Members and Friends Expected Many former members of the church are expected to attend these Loyalty Day Services. Mrs. Ben Boone, widow of a former minister of the Zebulon Methodist Church, has notifled the church that she will be present. It is also hoped by the congregation that Mrs. S. E. Mercer, widow of an other former pastor, will also be present. Many friends and form er members of the church have indicated that they plan to be present. Shelter place for the dinner in case of rain will be provided on the grounds. The Methodist Minister and members of the Official Board of the Church extend a cordial in vitation to all friends of the con gregation to come, bring a picnic lunch and enjoy the day's services. By Bill Quick The curtain is raised Friday night at 8:00 at the Wakelon Ath letic Field on the 1960 edition of the Wakelon Bulldogs and fans hereabouts are hoping that the locals can match a record of a year ago and come off the field with a win. Experiencing its best season in many years the Bulldogs opened last year’s season with a wallop ing rnd impressive win over luck less Rolesville 40-0. Rolling on to a 3-5 record for the year, many are hopeful for an even more im pressive 1960 season. Benvenue is Conference Champion The Bulldogs wound up in third place last year behind the cham pion Benvenue Purple Clouds and runner-up Nashville. Coach Doug Bryant’s Tri-Con ference champions will face a de termined, albeit small, Wakelon squad. Bryant will put his cham pionship eleven against perhaps the strongest backfleld in the en tire Wake-Nash-Edgecombe Con ference. Returning from last year’s squad aTe Ellis King, flashy halfback; Ronnie Clark, with a dead-eye right arm; and Jesse Parrish, the bruising fullback. Parrish re places Allen Pulley at fullback and Pulley is expected to move up to the tackle slot on the line. Fill ing the fourth position in the back field is the smallest, but most de termined, lad on the Wakelon squad: Bobby Sawyer. Sawyer will be the running mate of Ellis King. These boys: King, Clark, Parrish and Sawyer are expected to provide an offensive punch un matched in the Tri-County Con ference. The only hitch may be the line! Line Losses Heavy It was in the line that Coach Maurice Chapman lost Dan Mas sey, Terry Kemp, “Bulldog” Paul Brown and Earl Perry—all men who are sorely missed. The right side of the Wakelon line is expected to be the strong side with lettermen Mike Pearce, Jimmy Eddins, Kenneth Wilson and Ed Pearce in the saddle. The left side of the line will de pend on Sonny Perry, Jack Phil lips, Grady Doyle, Harry Cham blee, Sid Holmes and Allen Pulley to provide the backfield with a blocking attack. Bryant will start with half backs Ray Barnes and Donnie Matthews, fullback Billy Boswell, guard Joe Luther, center Billy Gilbert, tackle Ken Stallings and end George Rogers. Quarterback Calvin Robbins will replace Larry Matthews and George Boone, Dennis Watson and Chris Needham will man the right side of the line. Benvenue Has Seven Lettermen Coach Bryant’s starting eleven will be dominated by seven re turning lettermen. Gone from last year’s squad are the entire right dde of the line and the versatile quarterback, Larry Matthews, who was a thorn in the flesh to every Benvenue opponent. Watch Stallings and Luther The two dangerous men in the line are guard Joe Luther and tackle Ken Stallings. Bryant calls Stallings, “always a standout who can go offensively and defensively in fine style.” The backfield will also be out to keep Wakelon's line and secondary guessing at all times.
