A float official was at the meet

may be rented at a reduced rate

Lowery said those persons pres
ent Monday night were very inter

ever, he said the parade is up to
the merchants themselves.
The Chamber secretary said for
the parade a minimum number of
ten floats is needed. This was
the number in the parade last year,

cooperate with parade officials.

Moss Is the son of the late J. W.
and Martha Elizabeth Gresham
Moss of Granville County. He was
bom in the Peace’s Chapel Com
munity near Oxford.
“I am the knee-baby of eight
children,” he said. “There are
five 'boys and three girls.”
This farm boy attended Oxford
High School. He regretfully left
school when he was in the ninth
grade. Then he stayed on the
farm for ten years, afterwards
going with Sanders Motor Com
pany in Raleigh where he spent
13 years as a mechanic.
After he left the Raleigh firm he
again tended his farm on Route 4,
Zebulon. Last year he took a job
as head janitor with the Wendell
School.
“I am sure I will like this job,”
Moss said. “I already do. I have
always liked orderly and clean sur
roundings. This is just what I
want.”
Since Moss has taken over as
superintendent he has acquired
a home for the Sanitation Depart
ment equipment. He asked for
and got the old water plant build
ing on Vance Street. This he has
turned into a place neat and clean
for the department’s equipment.
“We needed some place, and I
am glad we got it,” Moss said.
“Our equipment needs to be in one
place, not scattered over every
where.”
Soft spoken and possessing a
pleasant manner, Moss is 5-10,
weighs 180, has brown hair that is
graying, and blue eyes.
His hobbies are hunting and
fishing. He prefers fresh water
angling and bird hunting. As soon
as the quail season comes in he
hopes to take off a couple days for
some hunting. He has some ex
cellent bird dogs.
Moss is married to the former
Corilla Tippett, a native of the
Peace’s Chapel Community. They
were married March 27, 1926, and
are the parents of three sons,
Herman of Wendell, Cooper who
lives next door and Ned of Char
lotte. There are also four grand
children.
Moss, 57-years-old, came to the
Zebulon community in 1940. He
is a member of Zebulon Baptist
Church and a Mason, belonging to
Zebulon Lodge No. 609.
The interview ended with Moss
emphatically declaring his aim to
keep the town clean.
“I want the passerby who comes
through our town to find it clean
and inviting,” he said proudly.
Moss supervises three men with
the department.
