Save your eensie, weensie, yel
low, polka dot bikini. You’ll need
it next summer.
You’ll need it to swim in the
swimming pool which will be
available to those who have mem
berships.
Thomas Monk, vice president of
the corporation, has announced
that an option on the land for the
pool site has been taken.
Monk said the land will be pur
chased from C. V. Whitley for
$3,150. He said Whitley is sell
ing the site not at today’s real es
tate value, but at the value of five
years ago.
The site is between West North
and West Glenn Streets, just
behind and adjacent to the Com
munity Park tennis courts. It
measures 120 by 400 feet.
A group of interested citizens
in the pool project have investi
gated other communities which
have constructed membership
type pools during the past months
and learned a pool is practical for
Zebulon.
The group is working In con
junction with Charlie Stott, a
professor in the recreation depart
ment of N. C. State College.
Monk said the cost of construct
ing a pool here will be approxi
mately $30,000. It will have the
very latest in filtering systems,
large swimming area for adults, a
kiddie pool for children, adequate
bath houses and modern lighting.
Monk said the corporation al
ready has received a charter from
the State of North Carolina. It,
he added, will definitely be a non
profit organization.
Memberships are now open,
Monk said. Each membership will
cost $150 and will entitle family
use of the pool. It will be only
the immediate members of the
family who will have access to the
swimming facilities. Persons
from distant towns or cities who
are visiting families which hold
memberships also may use the
pool. But people from neighbor
ing towns who are visiting here
may not use it.
Monk said 200 memberships are
being sought. Memberships will
be open for a short time after the
deadline. Yearly dues will be $15.
The vice president said the Peo
ples Bank and Trust Co. has
pledged its support to the project.
The bank will make funds avail
able to persons desiring member
ship. The corporation will have
no say-so about loaning or bor
rowing.

Wakelon Bulldogs
Divide Last Two
Football Games
By Bill Quick
The Wakelon Bulldogs wound
up their regular season play
by trouncing Tri-County opponent
Spring Hope. The final score was
40-6.
Led by halfback Ellis King’s 26
points, four touchdowns and two
extra points, the Bulldogs were
never threatened and it looked as
if they would completely shut out
the visiting Raiders.
Spring Hope’s lone touchdown
came late in the fourth quarter by
halfback Willis Bunn thereby pre
venting a shut-out.
Wakelon’s initial TD came early
in the first period after a kick
had been blocked and recovered
on the 36. Three plays later the
Bulldogs struck paydirt on a 23
yard pass from QB Ron Clark to
HB Ellis King. Parrish’s extra
point attempt was no good.
In the second quarter a 58 yard
pass by quarterback Clark to El
lis King connected on the Spring
Hope 12 with King scampering
over into the end zone standing
up. King converted and Wakelon
moved ahead 13-0.
Before the half, Wakelon fans
saw fullback Jesse Parrish carry
in three plays from the Spring
Hope 40 into the end zone, with the
climatic run a 27-yarder. King
again made good the extra point
attempt and Wakelon went to the
dressing room 20-0.
After watching a colorful half
time ceremony by the Wakelon
High School Band, followed by
the cyowning of Homecoming
Queen Harriet Page by co-captains
Ed Pearce and Ellis King, the
Bulldogs took up where they left
off.
