St. Luke's Home
Story Is Told
To Rotary Club
Last Friday evening Zebulon
Rotarians were told of the work i
of St. Luke’s Home in Raleigh,
which provides for 25 women from
65 to 89 years of age. Making
the report was Mrs. W. B. Martin
of Raleigh, first vice president of
the North Carolina Branch of the
International Order of King’s
Daughters and Sons.
Mrs. Martin was introduced by
Mrs. Lucille Pippin, formerly of
Zebulon, who is superintendent
of St. Luke’s.
St. Luke’s Home is sponsored by
the St. Luke’s Circle of the Inter
national Order. The home re
ceives only $65 a month from each
of the ladies residing there, and
provides all necessities except
clothing.
“We couldn’t run St. Luke’s
without Mrs. Pippin,” the speaker
said in praise of the superintend
ent. Mrs. Martin commented on
the outstanding meals prepared at
St. Luke’s under Mrs. Pippin’s su
pervision, and spoke of the loving
care which the ladies receive.
“Mrs. Pippin gives them of her
self,” she said.
Relating some of the history of
the International Order, Mrs.
Martin explained that the King’s
Order was begun in 1886 in New
York City, founded “to bring real
ity into religion.” All denomina
tions are included.
In 1891 men and boys were in
cluded in the organization and the
present name was taken. “You
need men to get things done,” she
explained.

Benvenue Wins
Over Wakelon
S' ■ r
By Wayne Davis
The outcome of the Wakelon
Benvenue contest was decided in
the first 10 seconds of the game
when the big 200 pound fullback,
Bill Robins of Benvenue, took the
opening kickoff for 80 yards and a
score. The extra point was made
and Wakelon never recovered or
gained the lead.
Thurston Debnam very nearly
went all the way on the return
kickoff, taking the kick on his 28
and running, to.Jhe Benvenue 48. „
After a series of plays, if was Deb
nam for 2 yards, Creech for 1,
Debnam for 7, Creech for 21 and
Jebnam for 7 yards and a score.
Lightning struck the second
time when Kent Hardy went 33
yards from scrimmage and a 13-6
lead for Benvenue. Big Bill Rob
erts took a short flat pass from
Richard Cobb and rumbled for 42
yards to set up the final score of
the game, 20-6 Benvenue.
Wakelon actually had the better
of play in the second half and
showed that, except for the three
long gainers, they were equal to
the Benvenue team.
There are no breathers in the
schedule this year and the Bull
dogs will have to hustle to show a
favorable won-loss record.
The Bulldogs have material for
an explosive running attack, but
need a passing game to keep the
opponent’s defense honest and give
the running game a chance.
DEAF MUTE GETS SURGERY . . . Lowell Olive Riddle, deaf
mute of Morganton, underwent surgery August 2 for asthma at Wen
