Lodge Grand Master Tells
Masonry Certainly Awake
James V. Brewer, District Dep
uty Grand Master, told Masons in
Masonic District 22 that “Masonry
is certainly awake in the 22nd
District.”
Brewer spoke last Wednesday
night at a gathering of Masons
from the district at Zebulon Ma
sonic Lodge 609, A.F.&A.M. An
estimated 200 Masons from lodges
in the district attended the after
noon and evening sessions.
“The greatest group of Masons
in the United States is right here
in North Carolina,” Brewer said.
Brewer urged Masons to con
tinue their support of public edu
cation. He said education is a
“vital force for the country.”
He also urged Masons to con
tinue to support the church, an
other vital force to the community,
state and nation.
“Well-planned meetings are im
portant,” he said. “Open and close
your meetings on time.”
Negro Murdered Saturday Night;
Search Still Continues For Culprit
The search for the slayer of a
Route 4, Zebulon, Negro was still
being continued Wednesday night.
Owen Thomas High, about 30,
died Saturday night from a 12
gauge single barrel sawed-off shot
gun blast, Police Chief Willie B.
Hopkins said. Hopkins said High’s
assailant was Massey Ray Boose,
a Route 3, Zebulon Negro.
High died in Wake Memorial
Hospital about two hours after the
shooting occurred.
Chief Hopkins said the shooting
occurred between 9:30 and 10 o’
clock on the paved parking lot of
Parrish Marget and Grocery.
Night Policeman Wendell Perry,
one of the investigating officers,
said the blast entered High’s stom
ach just below his navel.
The gun used by Boose was
found by officers Monday in weeds
and bushes behind the grocery
market where it was thrown after
the incident.
Information garnered by officers
of the shooting was that Boose,
his wife, and his wife’s sister got
into an argument in a piccolo joint
operated by Charlie Horton on
Barbee Avenue. A fight ensu'd
among the three and Boose went
to his car to get his gun. High,
who was an on-looker, followed
Boose and tried to reason with
him. Boose then turned on High.
Hopkins said there were about
six witnesses to the crime.
This is the second murder which
has occurred on the Parrish prop
erty. About two years ago, Hopkins
said, Needham Holder was killed
by his wife on these premises.
Sheriff’s Deputy S. J. Blackley
also investigated the Saturday
night crime.
Gathering
In The State
Members who have bee faith
ful and contributing in service
should be recognized, he said. He
urged Masonic organizations to
honor such members on a special
night.
He asked Masons to take an in
ventory of their Masonic life and
to follow Masonic precepts.
“Do not be indifferent in times
like these. We are living in a
dangerous time,” Brewer said.
“Masonry stands for all that
which is good. What you do is
what Masonry is.”
Brewer was introduced by John
Vaiden Clifton, District Deputy,
who called Brewer “one of the
most dynamic, most energetic per
sons in the annals of Masonic his
tory.”
Eli Regan, assistant superintend
ent of Oxford Orphanage, told of
the workings of the home support
ed by the Masons for parentless
children.
He said Oxford Orphanage,
which has been in operation for
33 years, is one of the few insti
tutions which still maintains a
school on its grounds. Students
from the first through the sixth
grades attend school six hours a
day. They have supervised study
after the supper hour.
Students from the seventh grade
through high school are divided
in the two groups. In the work
ing vocations there are electricity,
printing, shoe repair, exterior and
interior painting, dairying, poul
try, and farming experiences.
The high school curriculum has
been enriched to meet the rigorous

Airplane, Governor's Cadillac Meet;
No. 1 Ends Un With Busted Front
When two Zebulon National j
Guardsmen returned to Raleigh
Durham Airport from an adminis- \
trative flight to Ft. Rucker, Ala.,
last Sunday, they didn’t know
that Governor Terry Sanford was
inbound from a Washington trip.
Nor did they know that the
State’s No. 1 Cadillac was parked,
unlighted and unoccupied, on Ra
leigh-Durham Airport’s ramp
which the plane had to cross to
reach the aircraft parking area.
Civilian linemen at the airport
didn’t know it either, and observ
ing the arrival of the Raleigh
based Guard aircraft, waved it
across the shadowed ramp toward
its tie-down spot.
The Zebulon Guardsmen—Maj.
Barrie Davis and Lt. Col. Ferd
Davis—moved the airplane slowly
across the dark ramp, and turned
it slightly to enter the Guard’s
tie-down area.
Then—without benefit of formal
introduction—the six-place air
plane met the eight-place limou
sine.
The result: the airplane suffered
little at all; the Cadillac lost its
windshield; the Guardsmen were
considerably perturbed; and the
Highway Patrolman who was the
Governor’s chauffeur grabbed a
telephone to call in substitute
transportation.
It was, the Governor said, “one
of those things.”
