he was asleep and woke up to find
one of his sons going through his
pants pockets. “He was going to
take my last $2.”

Stancil, who police said had
been drinking, was placed under
a $200 bond. Trial will be in

ESC Office Here;
Note Changes
A recent survey was taken of
persons contacting the Employ
ment Security Commission itiner
ant point in Wendell each Tuesday
and it was found that approxi
mately 65 per cent of the people
were living nearer Zebulon than
Wendell.
It is the policy of the ESC to ex
tend its service to the nearest
point where the majority of its
applicants and claimants are liv
ing. Therefore, beginning, Jan
uary 8, 1963, the itinerant service
from the Raleigh office will be
held in the Town Hall in Zebulon
instead of in the Town Hall in
Wendell and each Tuesday there
after.
There is no change in the hours
of service which are from 9 to
11:45 a.m. All persons, including
