MAYOR'S TRIP
Some Russians Friendly
“People behind the Iron Curtain
are afraid to express themselves
because of the fear they might be
talking to the wrong person,” May
or Ed Hales said in an interview.
Mayor Hales was among 40
Wake County city and town of
ficials who toured Europe and
Russia for three weeks. The group
returned, last Thursday.
“They are fearful, and you can’t
get close to them,” Hales said.
“However, we found them soci
able.”
He said he talked with a young
Russian man who spoke English.
This young man’s father was a
Communist, and ofttimes he and
his father would discuss things
of Communist nature. They did
not see eye to eye, this young man
told Hales. He further told Hales
that the laboring class of people in
Russia liked Stalin even with the
many persons he had had killed
during his reign. The young man
said further to Hales that Russians
won’t know how many Khrushchev
has killed until he is dead.
“The food in Moscow was the
worst we encountered in any of the
places we went,” Hales said. “The
Power to Be Off
Sunday Morning
Work on a 12,000-volt power line
near Zebulon will necessitate an
interruption of electric service in
some local neghborhoods early
Sunday morning.
F. T. Scarborough, manager of
Carolina Power & Light Company
at Zebulon, said the work will be
between 4:30 and 7 ajn. Sunday.
The region affected is from Shep
ard School on Highway 64 to
Tant’s Crossroads, including the
Pilot community.
meat reminded me of World War
II C rations. I sort of had a fear
of eating it because I was afraid
it was not clean. However, I am
sure it was the best they could get
and prepared all right.”
Hales said food in the rest of the
cities the group toured was very
good to excellent. Most of the
times there were five courses serv
ed.
“The friendliest city we toured
behind the Iron Curtain was Ere
van,” he continued. Erevan is in
the USSR republic of Armenia,
in the southern part of Russia near
the Turkish border. From Erevan
they saw Mt. Ararat, the renowned
mount of the Bible where Noah’s
ark parked.
“The people of Erevan were
very, very friendly. I had my
Polaroid camera. I took some pic
tures of the residents. The camera
created a great excitement. At
first they seemed to be afraid, but
when the picture developed on the
spot and they could see themselves
they were delighted. Sometimes
there were between 25 and 50 per
sons gathred around me, watching
me take pictures.”
Hales told of one rather peasant
like gentleman standing in the
crowd. This man caught Hales’
attention and motioned to his in
fant child resting on his shoulder.
Hales said he knew he wanted a
picture made.
“I told him I would in sign lan
guage,” Hales said. “And the man
was so glad that he went and
found his wife who had another
infant with her. I took their pic
ture and gave it to them. It might
be the only picture they will ever
get.”
Hales said if you want to make
friends to take a Polaroid camera
and plenty of film.
He said he talked with a mem
ber of the Moscow city board of
councilmen. He said he asked the

Bulldogs Take 14-0 Win
From Wendell on Friday
By Wayne L. Davis
Beat Wakelon, Beat Wakelon,
Beat Wakelon was the chant used
by the Wendell White Rams in
their warm-up exercise before the
game time, but they found this
easier said than done. After the
dust settled it was Wakelon’s Bull
dogs over Wendell’s White Rams,
14-0. The Bulldog offense was in
high gear and the defense was as
stubborn as molasses in January,
not allowing Wendell inside the
Wakelon 21.
Wendell’s line averaged in the
neighborhood of 200 pounds per
man, being some 35 to 40 pounds
a man larger than the Bulldog
line, but Wakelon dominated the
line play all night, both on of
