Guardsmen Help in Time of Need
National Guardsmen of Zebulon’s Battery A are ready to render valuable

as volunteer blood donors available for emergency . Shown above is Pvt.
Charles E. Vincent, of Route 2, Wendell, with his hand extended for
Hospital Technician, Mrs. Ann Bower to take a blood sample.
The first call for help was quick to arrive for the Guardsmen. Last

of Route 3, Zebulon, and Harry Chamblee, son of Mr. and Mrs. Sherwood
Chamblee of Zebulon, gave two pints of blood which was rushed to

HELP NEEDED
Recreation Commission
Has Heap Big Debt
Alas and alack. Zebulon Rec
reation Commission is $450 in debt.
Wayne Davis, an ex-officio mem
ber of the board, revealed the
debt is due to equipment pur
■chased and insurance taken out on
participants during last year’s
program.
Davis reported that a summer
recreation program of sorts is go
ing to be held this year, even with
such a staggering debt.
The main program, he indicated,
will be baseball. There will, in
addition, be a program at the
Community Park. He said basket
ball goals will be moved to the
park for this sport.
He said it is hoped that the ten
nis courts will be paved, but the
paving is the town’s responsibility.
Presently there is no source of
revenue. The board, which met
Monday night, made plans for a
pork and chicken barbecue supper
to be held at the park to coincide
with the opening of the swimming
pool. Tickets will be sold to this
barbecue supper and proceeds will
go to the Recreation fund for the
summer program.
Tentative plans are for the
Wakelon band to appear at this
affair, he said.
He indicated that a concentrated
drive for monetary support from
the merchants will be held.
He added that the program will
need the support of parents be
fore children can be helped.
Only five persons attended the
general meeting Monday night.
Another general meeting is sched
uled in two weeks, Davis said.
With no competition, Zebulon s
incumbent mayor and town com
missioners were reelected Tuesday
for two more years.
Still reigning is Ed Hales, mayor,
and Commissioners G. K. Corbett,
J. R. Alford, P. O.'Farmer, T. B.
Hepler, and Mrs. Elizabeth Ellett.
Some interest was shown with
write-ins. Six names were added
to the ballots for mayor and com
missioners. R. D. Massey received
one vote for mayor; and M. J. Sex
ton, L. M. Massey, W. A. Allman,
Loomis Strickland, and Mrs. Wil
liam Bunn received one vote each
for commissioner.
Mrs. James Creech, registrar,
said she feels the small vote was

because the incumbents had no
competition. She said some people
who came to the polls said they
thought they didn’t have to vote
because the incumbents did not
I have anybody running against
them.
Mayor Ed Hales agreed. “You
can’t create interest in an election
when you don’t have a choice,” the
mayor said. “However, the ones
that did vole for us made us feel
giood.”
Mayor Hales said he thinks the
Board will have many problems to
face during the next two years—
things that will require a lot of
thought. He mentioned two major ,
items to come before the Board: a
sewage treatment plant and a more
adequate water supply for Zebulon.
Commissioner T. B. Hepler was
willing to wager that the next
town election will see a flock of
candidates up for office.
Mrs. Creech reported that over
500 votes were cast in the last
election two years ago.
She also said only 10 new reg
istrations were made for the elec
tion held Tuesday.

Girls State was organized as a

national committee to direct the
program was created by the 1946
National Convention. The first
Girls’ Nation, with representa
tives from each Girls State, was
held in Washington, D. C., in 1947.
Girls’ State is a practical appli
cation of Americanism and good
citizenship. The entire program is
a non-partisan, non-political at
tempt to teach and inculcate in
the youth of American a love of
God and country.
Final approval of girls must be
left to the local American Legion
Auxiliary unit. The qualifications
