Consolidated School Site to Be
Discussed at Meeting Tonight
TOWN MAY SAVE MONEY!
Bond Negotiations Set
Zebulon may save thousands of
dollars in interest payments
through further preliminary bond
negotiations, Mayor T. E. Hales
said this week in explaining a de
lay in calling a bond election.
Last week Mayor Hales, Town
Manager W. B. Hopkins, and Town
Attorney Ferd Davis held a con
ference with W. E. Easterling of
the Local Government Commis
sion in Raleigh, and were advised
to 'hold up on a local bond election
until the policies of the Housing &
Home Finance Agency, federal
lending entity, could be firmed up.
Mr. Easterling further suggested
the possibility of issuing more
bonds than necessary for the
open bond market in order to pay
interest charges during the con
struction period. He suggested
that the town might find this finan
cial arrangement less burdensome
so far as carrying on normal serv
ices is concerned.
By waiting for H&HA action,
the local government may obtain
interest rates as low as three and
five-eighths per cent as opposed to
up to five per cent on the regular
bond market.
The local Junior Chamber of
Commerce has adopted as its first
major project voter education as to
the nature of the bond needs, and
will 'begin its work upon the Local
Government Commission’s approv
al of municipal bond plans, ac
cording to Jaycee President Jimmy
Medlin.
Bulldogs Downed, 69-48,
By Warrenton Quintet
By Bill Quick
The Wakelon Bulldogs, sporting
a 16-6 record and spoilers in the
District Three tourney, fell before
the onslought of Warrenton’s John
Graham High last Friday night
69-48. The hapless Bulldogs,
Wake County Class A champs,
were never in the game after
pulling to within two points, 15-13
in the second quarter. From that
point in the first half, Warrenton
scored twelve points while holding
the Bulldogs scoreless.
Playing without the services of
playmaker Tommy Wopd, who
was suffering from stiff neck
muscles, the Bulldogs stored only
13 points in. the first half. Wood
was inserted for about a minute
prior to the half’s end. He was
used sparingly during the second
half. The Bulldogs’ shooting was
their poorest of the season and on
ly in the final quarter, against the
substitutes, did they display their
scoring efficiency. In the fourth
stanza, the Bulldogs scored more
points than in the first three
quarters.
Thurston Debnam was high scor
er for the game with a total of 16
points. Debnam was the only
Bulldog to score in double figures.
The Warrenton attack was paced
by Chocky White and Billy Benson
with 14 points apiece. Herman
Rucker and Gordan Hai^hcox
were offensive standouts in the
second half and hit for 13 and 11
points respectively. Mitchener, a
sub, was the fifth Warrenton
player to hit in double digits with
10 points.
Wakelon a Surprise
Wakelon, according to most ob
servers, was the surprise of the
tourney. The Bulldogs earned the
right for the District III tourney
On Dean's List
Two Middlesex lassies made the

ladies are seniors.
competition as Wake - County
champ. They defeated Woodland
High and the Meadow High School
from Johnston County. The semi
final round, many had hoped,
would be with Middlesex but the
Royals were ousted by Warrenton
in the quarterfinal round. Local
observers had thought that Wake- j
Ion would take the best of Middle- :
sex in a repeat game and the War
renton victory may have psycho
logically defeated the Bulldogs.
The Wakeion games were carried
by the radio stations in Zebulon,
Rocky Mount and Henderson, and
the press and radio commentators
agreed that Wakeion had been the
tournament surprise. It was the
first time in a number of years
that a Wakeion team had ad
vanced so far in the State Tourna
ment, District competition. Coach
Maurice Chapman has thus in
three years rebuilt Wakeion into
power in the Class A ranks.

word; we should quietly hear both
sides.—Goethe

Urged to Attend
An important meeting of all per
sons in the Wakelon School dis
trict interested in educational
progress will be held tonight
(Thursday) in the high school au
ditorium at 8 p.m.
The purpose of this meeting is
Dor allowing the Wake County
Board of Education to hear opin
ions of Wakelon School district
citizens about the site of a proposed
east Wake County consolidated
high school.
Many of the Zebulon school pa
trons feel strongly in favor of the
Sanford Pearce site located on the
Wendell-Zebulon by-pass. There is
already an option on this site.
“We are not contented for the
school to be located just any
where,” one of the citizens said.
A considerable number of per
sons have voiced that they are
agreeable to consolidation if the
school is located in the Lizard
Lick area. They feel such a school
could serve’ the areas involved
well.
One citizen said: “We hope the
Board will give very, very earnest
consideration to the Sanford
Pearce site as being the one that
will require the least sacrifice to
the community than any other site
now known of.”
Any decision to locate a con
solidated school appears to rest in
the lap of the State Highway Com
mission.
According to a State survey
read by Wake Superintendent
Fred Smith at a consolidated school
hearing last Thursday night be
fore approximately 150 Wendell
school patrons, a site was proposed
in the Hephzibah Church area
north of Highway 64, depending on
