Record To Publish Pictures
Of Children In Community
It is an undisputed fact that the
responsibilities of tomorrow’s
world, our Nation, and Commu
nity will rest upon the shoulders
of the children of today. Since
this is true, the publishers of The
Zebulon Record plan to give you a
good look at these future “World
Builders.”
The only way we can do this
is by publishing pictures of them
in a feature series. To assure the
latest and best reproduction pic
tures . . . they must all be of
uniform size and quality.
An expert children’s photogra
pher with all the necessary equip
ment for this specialized work
will be here Wednesday, Nov. 16.
Pictures will be taken at the Wom
an’s Club from 10 ajn. to 5 p.m.
No Charge to Parents
There is no charge to the par
ents. There are absolutely no
strings to this invitation. It is
bonaflde in every sense of the
word.
Parents do not have to be sub
scribers, nor even readers of this
newspaper to take advantage of
this feature. Neither are they ob
ligated to purchase pictures after
they are taken. Those who want
some additional prints may obtain
a limited number by arrangement
with the Studio representative
when they select the pose they
want printed in the paper. It is
entirely up to them.
The More Pictures, the Better
The Record simply wants pic
tures of all the youngsters and the
more, the better. So the Mothers
and Fathers of the community in
which this paper circulates should
remember the date—Wednesday,
Nov. 16., at the Woman’s Club—
and not fail to bring their children
to the photographer.
You will be mighty glad, after
wards, if you did, and very, very
sorry if you do not permit your
children to participate in this
event.
The kiddies will have much fun
and both Mother and Dad—and the
youngsters, too—will be very proud
to see their pictures in print later.
Appointments may be made by
calling The Zehulon Record of
fice, telephone AN 9-4231.
Beta Club Taps Candidates
Into Club In Auditorium
On Friday afternoon, October 21,
1960, the Wakelon Beta Club held
chapel in the high school audito
rium at which time the new offi
cers for the year took their oaths

istics to be found in a Beta Club
member. They entered the dimly
lit auditorium to the strains of the
Beta Club song carrying placards
which denoted these characteris
tics: Honesty, Justice, Service,
Co-operation, Responsibility, In
dustriousness, Humility, and Char
ity. Mrs. Seago, the sponsor, read
the narration and Scripture verses
which illustrated their meaning
and showed how each related to
the life of the individual. The de
votional was closed with the sing
ing of the Lord’s Prayer by Phyl
lis Parrish.
The president, Freddie Clark,
gave a speech on the four keys to
successful living: these being
achievement, character, leadership,
and service. The following offi
cers took their oaths of office:
President Freddie Clark lighted
the white candle which signified
purity.
Vice President Carol Gay lighted
the red candle which signified the
bravery of the members.
Secretary “Pete” Creech lighted
the blue candle which signified
courage and fidelity.
Treasurer Connie Hepler lighted
the gold candle wihch stood for all
the members of the Beta Club.
The former members of the club:
Elaine Doyle, Joyce Chapman,
Mickey Hinton, Waddell Gay, Pris
cilla Bercik, and Judy Temple
went into the audience and tapped
those eligible for membership.

Telephone Changes
The alphabet is going to disap
pear from the telephones in Zebu
Ion.
W. D. Reynolds, district manager
for Southern Bell Telephone Co.,
announces that from now on only
numerals will be used on dials in
stalled in Zebulon, Raleigh, Apex,
Cary, Garner and Wendell. This
change began to take place No
vember 1.
This means that instead of a
telephone number being AN 9
7299 it wiU be 2697299.
Reynolds stated that it will take
approximately three years to
change all telephones to the new
number system.
Among the reasons for the
change to All-Number Calling are:
1. Faster Dialing—There are no
confusing letters in dialing a call
—only numerals, which are easier
and quicker to find on the dial.
2. More Accuracy—No confu
sion between letters and numerals,
such as the letter “I” and the num
ber “1”; the letter “O” and the
zero.
3. More Growth—All-Number
Calling will provide more avail
able numbers which is a factor in
the company’s growth and an im
provement in its service.
Telephone numbers in Golds
boro began changing to All-Num
ber Calling on August 1.

iness man and citizen last Friday,
