"• ZEBULON
RECORD
VOLUME 36. NUMBER 11. ZEBULON. N. C.. THURSDAY. APRIL 20. 1961
National Library Week-April 16-22
Not everyone can be President;
not everyone can read as rapidly
as our President, but given enough
incentive and access to enough
books everyone can read. By
spending as much as 15 minutes
each day, the average reader can
read 21 books a year. This can
mean 21 new ideas or more, new
friends and more information to
live by. It was James Russell
Lowell who so aptly described
reading as “The'key which admits
us to the whole world of thought
and fancy and imagination, to the
company of saint and sage, of the
wisfest and wittiest at their wisest
and wittiest moment.’’
Studies show that about 90% of
what we learn comes through
reading. Thus reading is as nec^
essary to learning as eating is to
life.
What joy must be lacking for the
individual who has never experi
enced the discovery of a new idea
found in the printed page, or
shared the thoughts of great men
recorded for all generations in the
printed record, or the sheer ecsta
sy known in the listening to or the
reading or beautiful poetry. What
a priceless heritage parents can
give their children by leading
them into the wonderful world of
books. Even a fretting baby will
respond to the sound of rhythm
of a familiar voice reading. Last
ing images are made by the father
and the mother who read. Eve
nings when family members read
aloud together become cherished
memories and inspiration for life
time reading habits. FOR A
RICHER, FULLER LIFE—READ.

Nationally Known Professional
Golfer To Be At Wendell Greens
Paul Hahn, nationally known i
professional golfer, will appear on
the Wendell golf course April 29
at 4 o’clock.
A golf professional since the age
of eighteen, for the past ten years,
Paul Hahn has been thrilling au
diences around the world with his
amazing repertoire of golf talent
and smooth-edged comedy routine.
Fellow golf professionals consider
his clinic the best ever presented,
and stars of motion pictures and
television have praised his enter
taining performances.
This “Wizard of Clubs’’ got his
start as a caddy before his teens,
turned pro and was teaching in the
southeast 'before World War II.
After four years of sea duty he
returned to a club pro job in Hilo,
Hawaii. Playing so well he de
cided to try the P.G.A. tournament
circuit, but in 1948 found pick
ings too slim so he finished out
the season teaching at the Glen
Oak Country Club in the Chicago
suburbs.
That fall he went west again and
took a club job in California where
he developed his trick shot rep
ertoire. He worked high school
audiences to get “audience reac
tion” and after a favorable re
sponse he tried it on tour in the
Pacific Northwest. It clicked im
mediately and Paul quit his
“bread and butter” job to hit the
trail.
Later, 500,000 miles later, in
cluding five global tours, Paul has
found that golfers are never away
from home on any golf course.
His travels have taken him to all
six continents and 37 different
countries.
His talent has been seen in mo
vies produced by Columbia, Para
mount and Universal-Interna
tional. Television fans have seen
Paul on the “Ed Sullivan Show,"
Gary Moore’s “I’ve Got a Secret,”
The Arthur Godfrey Show, with
Paul Winchell on “Circus Time”
and the Paul Winohell Show, with
Bob Barker on “Truth or Conse
quences” and with Johnny CaTson
on “Who Do You Trust” plus twice
with Art Baker on “You Asked
For It.”
Golf fans have seen him at The
Masters in Augusta and many
National PGA Championships. In
fact, at practically every major
golf championship.
Paul’s latest stint was as a west
erner in the new TV series “Shot
gun Slade” starring Scott Brady.
Hahn plays the part of a pugna
cious shopkeep who incites a mob
to riot and while the part was not
to his liking, he nevertheless prov
ed his dramatic acting ability was
up to par.
