Director of Nurses Named
For Local Branch Hospital
The first person employed
for Wendell-Zebulon Hospital has
been named. Frank Ceruzzi,
branch hospital administrator, said
yesterday Mrs. Mary Temple will
be director of nurses.
Mrs. Temple, when interviewed,
said, “I am delighted to be work
ing for and with the local hos
pital. It will be a joy to get back
into the profession again.”
Ceruzzi said Mrs. Temple will
be the unit supervisor in charge
of nursing and other key person
nel.
“She will be directly responsible
for nursing procedure, selection
of nursing personnel and will be
working closely with the medical
staff,” Ceruzzi said.
Ceruzzi said Mrs. Temple may
do a small amount of nursing if
the occasion demands, but she
will be wholly responsible for the
organization of nursing procedure.
This pretty young matron with
a quick, engaging smile hails
from the state of Maryland. She
was born in Barclay, Md., in 1920.
She is the daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. J. L. Wallace, and she is the
youngest of three children. There
is an older brother and sister.
After graduating from Sadler
ville High School, she attended
the University of Maryland. From
there she went to the Maryland
General Hospital School of Nurs
ing, graduating in 1942 with an
R. N. degree.
Her first job was with the Ker
nan Hospital in Baltimore, an or
thopedic hospital. She said this
was one of the most interesting
and most fascinating nursing du
ties she has ever had.
No, it was not depressing seeing

Zebulon Youths Nabbed
For Rockside Grill Break-In
Mother's March
The Mother’s March of Dimes
campaign is set for Tuesday night,
January 31, Mrs. Ben Thomas,
chairman of the drive, has an
nounced.
Mrs. Thomas has asked that all
who wish to contribute to the
march to have their porch light
turned on and the dogs on the
inside.
She said there will be no ques
tionnaire to be filled out as there
was last year. There, however, will
be a short quiz which will take
a minute.
All solicitors will be identified
by a ribbon, Mrs. Thomas said.
Last year the Mother’s March
netted more than $400, and Mrs.
Thomas said they hope to surpass
that goal this year.
Solicitors will present the facts
about some of the terrible crip
pling diseases that afflict so many
children which are birth defects,
arthritis, which is actually Amer
ifca’s number one crippling di
sease, and polio, which is still a
major problem in spite of the vac
cine developed by your March of
Dimes.
Millions of children still have
not been vaccinated but you can
help prevent these crippling di
seases when the Mother’s March
volunteer calls on you. Please say
yes. Welcome her with your
dimes and dollars for the 1961
March of Dimes.
Four youths were given pre
liminary hearings in Middlesex
Recorder’s Court Wednesday, Jan
uary 18, on break-in charges and
bound over to Nash Superior
Court under a $300 bond each.
Nash Deputy Frank Brown said
Henry Wilson, 20, of Route 3, Zeb
ulon; Oscar W. Perry, Jr., 19, of
Route 2, Wendell; Randy Jones,
19, of Zebulon; and Wilbur Bat
ten, 17, of Route 1, Middlesex,
were charged with the theft of a
crate of soft drinks and two and
a half cases of beer from Rock
Side Grill, located one mile west of
Middlesex, and the theft of a
crate of chickens from outside
Russell’s Restaurant near Zebu
Ion. The thefts occurred Wednes
day night, January 11.
Middlesex Police Chief Gilliam
discovered the grill break-in
around 1 o’clock that night and
arrested the youths a short time
later. Brown said the foursome
was returning to the grill to “fin
ish cleaning it out.”
Two cases of beer were carried
to Wilson’s home and left in a
tobacco barn and the half* case was
hidden in a washing machine at
Perry’s house, the deputy reported.
He said the group had planned to
cook the chickens at Perry’s home,
but the electricity was off.
The youths pulled weather
boarding off the back of the build
ing to gain entrance, Brown said.
Wilson is also charged with en
tering the grill last October 6 and
taking six and a half cases of
beer, Brown reported.
J. L. McGee operates the grill.
Couple Enjoy Inaugural Affairs
Mr. and Mrs. John Hilliard at
tended the inauguration ceremon
ies of President John Kennedy in
Washington.
“We had a very fine time,” they
said, despite the very inclement
weather.
Mr. and Mrs. Hilliard were
guests of F. X. Donaldson, St.,
United Press White House cor
respondent for the past 39 years.
The couple sat in the TV and
press section and watched the
swearing-in ceremonies on the
East front, of the Capitol.
“We had a perfect vantage
point,” Mrs. Hilliard said. “We
could see everything, that was go
ing on.”
Sitting right in front of them
was TV and stage siar Arlene
Francis and behind them was Wal
ter Cronkite, well-known televi
sion news commentator.
OtheTs from Zebulon attending
the inauguration ceremonies were
Mrs. Ruth Chamblee, Diana, Wade
Privette and Mrs. Russell Wil
liams. Mrs. Chamblee presented
her views to her listening audience
on Radio Station WETC this
week.
The couple watched the parade
from the steps of the capitol. They
found this a very good location and
could see all that was going on.
“We couldn’t see the floats so
well because they made a turn in
the opposite direction,” Mr. Hil
liard said. “But everything else
was very fine.”
They were on the second bal
cony of the Capitol and Mrs. Hil
liaTd said the President passed a
bout 30 feet from them.
“We were close enough to see
the President’s red nose,” Mrs. Hil
liard laughed. “And I mean he had
a red one. It looked like it was
frozen.”
The weather was very cold and
the wind was biting. Many peo
pie viewed the proceedings inside
from windows or looked at it on
television. Not Mr. and Mrs. Hil
liard. They braved the elements
for the whole thing.
Mr. and Mrs. Hilliard had lunch
in the White House. They went
to the Senate sandwich bar and
had hamburgers and steak sand
wiches. These they ate while
watching the television luncheon
of the President.
The couple attended one of the
five inaugural balls held in Wash
ington. They went to the ball held
in the Statler hotel.
“But it was so crowded that
you couldn’t move on the dance
floor,” they said. “We just gave
up and went to me lounge and
watched television and met and
talked to people.”
They missed the breakfast held
early that morning for the North
Carolinians.
Mr. and Mrs. Hilliard did not
stay in Washington. They motored
to Baltimore. When they got
there, there was a 12-inch snow on
the ground. Driving was very
difficult, but they did not have
any accidents, although they saw
many along the way.
They used the train to commute
back and forth to Washington for
the festivities. One morning their
car wouldn’t budge so they hitch
hiked to the railroad station.
“Sure, we did,” Mrs. Hilliard
said, laughing. “We went out
to the street and I began thumb
ing and throwing out an uncovered
knee. Finally, some one came a
long and gave us a ride to the
train station.”
Mr. Hilliard said two amusing
things happened to them while
attending the inaugural ceremon
ies. Two cab drivers they used
were natives of North Carolina.
“One had formerly lived in the
Pearces community and Youngs
ville. In our conversation, I
found that he didn’t remember
anybody that I was familiar with.
But he was very familiar with
the late Deputy Sheriff G. C. Mas
sey.”
Mrs. Hilliard wore an off
shoulder gold satin brocade eve
ning gown with gold accessories
and long white gloves.
“It was cold, messy and difficult
to get to and from your destina
tions,” they chimed, “but it was
worth it. The spectacle of, thp
occasion was great. We wouldn’t
have missed it for anything.”
