Thirty years can make many changes. And prices are some of the greatest changes made. B. R. Richards was rambling through some old papers the other day.

One of the bills dated Dec. 9, 1932, had prices of %, 2, 1%, 12, and 18 cents a pound. Richards sold a load of 520 pounds for a total of $23.67. * ALARMED ... A dear old Negro woman who doesn’t get out much at night happened to ride through Zebulon on the night of Friday, Nov. 22. She saw people lined up for two blocks on main street waiting to enter Peoples Bank. Back home she told a neighbor that folks were lined up for blocks, going to the bank to draw their money out. She said the banks were going to close because Presi (Continued on Page 4) Santa Claus, Parade Arriving Monday, Dec 9, 6:30 P.M. There is a Santa Claus, children | of Zebulon and the surrounding communities. And he arrives here with the Christmas parade Monday night, December 9, beginning at 6:30 o’clock. Preceding Santa will be the big gest Christmas parade ever held in Zebulon, according to Aaron Lowery, secretary of the Zebulon Chamber of Commerce. “We are very happy with the results of our planning for the parade,” Lowery said. “Every body has been so cooperative.” As of Tuesday of this week, Lowery had a list of 18 floats which ease slowly along the main street of the town for viewing. “This is eight more floats than we had last year,” Lowery said. “And they are equally as beauti ful as the ones last year, or even more so.” Floats listed so far are: “Cinderella,” sponsored by Low ery’s Insurance Agency and Zebu Ion Drug Co. Southern Bell To Reduce Mileage Charges The Southern Bell Telephone Company today filed tariffs with the North Carolina Utilities Com mission which will reduce mile age charges by extending Base Rate Areas and by introducing a new Broad-Band Zone Plan in 39 exchanges and which will reclas sify certain communities into their proper rate group. Zebulon will not be affected by these changes until the latter part of 1964, when toll-free service to Raleigh is established. Ceramic Class,. Open House Hilton’s Ceramic Class of Wakefield will hold open house December 7-8 from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. on Saturday and 1 p.m. to 4:30 pjn. on Sunday. Refreshments will be served and a door prize valued at $10 will be given to the person holding the lucky number at the 4:30 drawing on Sunday. Mrs. Jean Hilton of Raleigh of Raleigh is the organized and in structor of the class. Jaycees to Have Day On Radio Jaycee Radio Day will be held Sunday, December 8, from 7:15 a.m. to 5 p.m. Jaycees will be in charge of the station WETC during the entire day. Members of the club will do announcing, commercials, musical programs, news casts, and engineering. Irby Liggins is chairman of the day’s events with Bobby Perry, co chairman. Open Gift Shop Mr. and Mrs. Thomas C. Bunn of Wendell are opening a polye thylene flower and gift shop at 102 South Main Street, Wendell, and are noting the opening with an open house on Thursday and Friday of this week. Refresh i ments and favors will be given those who attend. The shop will feature all types of polyethylene flower arrange | ments for year-round use and well | as flowers for special occasions, such as Christmas, Easter, and holidays. A full stock of mistletoe, holly, running cedar, and Christmas trees is expected by December 20, the Bunns say. J. M. Wasson, Vice President and General Manager of Southern Bell’s North Carolina operations, said the net effect of the proposal, in the affected exchanges, would be increases of lOtf to 30^ monthly in some residence customers’ bills and decreases, generally larger, in bills of customers with mile age charges. Business customers will be affected also. Mr. Wasson said that the pro posed plan will correct inequities which have resulted from varying rates of growth and industrial ex pansion in North Carolina commu nities. The overall effect of these changes will be an annual reduc tion of approximately $25,000 in Southern Bell’s state-wide reve nue. The Broad-Band Zone Plan is relatively new in North Carolina, and it will result in lower mileage charges for most customers li.ing outside the Base Rate Area. Mr. Wasson said the extension of the Base Rate Areas and the introduc tion of the Zone Plan will result in a decrease of monthly mileage charges for 31,000 customers in the 39 exchanges affected. For example, a customer with two-party residence service liv ing two miles from the Base Rate Boundary now pays $2.56 in monthly mileage charges. Under the new Zone Plan, he would pay only 75 cents in mileage charges. Telephone Rate groups for local service are based on the number of main telephones within the local calling area of the commu nity. At the present time, some communities with local calling areas of approximately the same size are paying different charges for the same general service. The inequities can only be eliminated by reclassifying affected commu nities to their proper rate group. “Spirit of Christmas,” sponsored by Hales Farm Supply Co., Zebu Ion Furniture Co., McGee Insur ance Agency and Whitley Furni ture Co. “Peace on Earth,” sponsored by Piggly Wiggly, Cornelia Smith Dress Shop, and Zebulon Beauty Shop. “Riverboat,” sponsored by Pope’s Style Shop. “End of the Rainbow,” sponsor ed by Farmer’s Dept.

Aker, public health nurse, has announced the baby clinic held at the Zebulon Health Department each fourth Tuesday has been postponed until the fifth Tuesday in December. PTA Study Course Ends With Talk On Testing The study course ended at the regular Wendell School PTA meet ing held Wednesday night, No vember 29. Frank Sullivan, Wake County guidance director, spoke to the group on “testing,” using illustrations and explaining the values of various tests given to students. At an executive meeting of the PTA just prior to the meeting, a change was made in the method of taking room count. Instead of taking a standing count, parents will be checked on a chart as they enter the door for the meeting. Mrs. Wayne Cook, Jr., will be in charge of this count. It was decided that the chart room count is more accurate, as well as serving to facilitate the meetings by using the time for a better advantage. Only one prize —a $5 check—will be given and that to the grade with the high est percentage of parents present. There will be no meeting of the organization during December. Meetings will be resumed in Jan uary when room visitation will be a feature of the January meeting to be held on the fifteenth. Approximately $140 was taken from the basketball games. This money will be used for school projects.
