C., Thursday, September 15,1960 Theo. Davis Sons, Publishers EDITORIAL It Can Be Done Over in Clayton they have a very nice swimming pool which has been in use for three weeks. The pool is 100x35 feet and ranges in depth from 2/i to 10 feet. A 12-foot con crete apron extends around the pool. A pool for smaller children is 10x20 feet and 12 to 18 inches deep. A 30x60 bath house provides dressing area, toilets, and showers. (The Clayton News said last week “When you have a good dream and it comes ‘really true’ it is time for rejoicing. Our dream has come true!” We rejoice with the Clayton community that it has a swimming pool. Zebulon has talked many years of a swimming pool for the community. Plans are underway now, and we hope to see a pool completed for next summer. It will be nice, won’t it. Some folks wonder if a pool can be financed. Clayton found the answer. A corporation issued 275 shares of stock at $100 each. These were purchased by 235 people. If Clayton has that many families eager to participate in a club-type pool, Zebulon should have more. Of interest is the fact that 20 to 25 shares of extra stock purchased by stockholders to get the pool underway in Clayton are selling for $150 each. When these are sold, membership in the pool corporation will be closed. All ready this year 52 children received their Red Cross beginners’ swimming certificates after receiving instruction in the Clayton pool. Next year adult swimming and junior and senior life saving courses will be added. The two-acre site for the Clayton pool was donated by Otho Gulley. Through his generosity he made it possible for many children to learn to swim, and this knowledge could save a child’s life. Could a gift accomplish a more wonderful purpose? Clayton has done it. We can too! Local Woman Found Dead By Her Daughter Tuesday A local woman was found by her daughter dead in her bed in her home Tuesday.

The (Continued from Page 4) Life Snuffed Out Of Child Monday; Is Auto Victim Ginger Chamblee . . . victim Garden Club Bill Hamnett, who is associated with N. C. Wildlife Resources Com mission, spoke to the Carmen Flowers Garden Club Monday night at the home of Mrs. Eldred Rountree, who is president of the club. Prior to the meeting the mem bers brought covered dishes of food and a delicious meal was planned for the members and guests. Hamnett showed colored slides of the wild flowers of North Car olina with a running commen tary. There were also slides of the flowers native to Wake Coun ty. He told the women that North Carolina has no laws for the pro tection of wild flowers, except the Venus Fly Trap. The Venus Fly Trap, entirely native to North Carolina, is protected by laws ; brought about by garden clubs of the State. “I had my eyes on her one min ute, and the next minute she was dead.” The tears coursed down the cheeks of Mrs. Elton Chamblee, mother of dead little Ginger Cham blee. She touched her dead daughter’s little white shoes lov ingly, fingered the edging of lace around the beautiful pale blue dress laid out for the shroud. Ginger was killed accidentally Monday morning between 10 and 10:30 when she was run over by an automobile driven by Mrs. Wil lard GiU. ‘‘We were standing out in the yaTd talking,” Mrs. Chamblee said. “Ginger was telling Wanda, Mrs. Gill’s granddaughter goodby. Mrs. Gill and Wanda were in the car, getting ready to leave.” She crushed the lace-frilled white pants in her hands, hands filled with love, and pressed them to her breast. “Mrs. Gill cranked her car and started off. Before I knew it, Ginger had run around in front of the car. The left front wheel of the car crushed her little head.” The child was dead on arrival at a doctor’s office. Ginger, a beautiful 28-pounder with dark brown hair and hazel eyes,, was two years old in July. Funeral services for the victim were held Wednesday at 11 a.m. from the Zebulon Baptist Church with the Rev. W. Arnold Smith of ficiating. Burial was in Zebulon cemetery.

Captains Named In The Scout Financial Drive Charles Alexander, local chair man of the Boy Scout fund rais ing campaign, announced this week that the organizational phase of the drive has been completed with the appointment of the “cam paign captains.” Captains who are to work with Scout leader Ralph Bunn are: Ray Goodwin, Gilford Bufkin, James Debnam, Charles Hawkins, and Harry Bissette. Those persons who were assigned to work with Scout leader Ran dolph Hendricks are: Aaron Low ery, S. P. Scott, Frank Kemp, Wil ton Gay and Melvin Lanier. The'captains held an instruction meeting several days ago at the home of the chairman where their duties were explained by Scout Executives Hubert Ellison and Russ McLean, and District Com missioner Armstrong Cannady. Each captain is to select five solocitors, secure their contribu tion as they agree to be workers, and to turn in the list of workers to their Scout leader by September 10 The captains are also responsi ble for reminding the workers to be present at the kick-off break fast on September 27 when pros pect cards will be distributed. Each worker will select five peo ple from the cards to solicit. Se lection should be completed in just a few hours after the kick-off breakfast since each worker will have only five prospects to contact. Chairman Alexander stated that he was well pleased thus far with the progress made in advance and special gift solicitations, and that he was confident “the people of the community will see that the over-* all drive is a financial success.”
