FIRST SAVINGS & LOAN
ASSOCIATION OF ZION TO
PAY 3 PERCENT INTEREST
ON DEPOSITS

At the regular meeting of
the Board of Directors of the
First Savings and Loan Asso-
citation, which was held on De-
cember 8, 1947, the Board I'M
animously voted to pay Divi-
dends on all Share Deposits at
the rate of 3 per cent per an

Due to the requirements of
the Building & Loan Act and
also the Bylaws of the First
Savings & Loan Association, it
will not be possible to pay the
Dividends out until the close of
the Associations Fiscal Year,
which is June 80, 1913. But
the President and Secretary of
the Association were instruct
ed to accumulate sufficient
funds from the earnings Ac-
count SO that the cash divid-
ends can be paid in accordance
with the Bylaws on June 80,
1913.
Sufficient funds are now a.
valuable to provide for the

tiles for their benefit be organ
lied and operated. 1t also has
been realized that these CEN
tiers be located within reach of
the greatest number of boys.
The first step toward meeting
this need was taken when Mr..
Frank Scaccia met with R. L.
Newenham, Superintendent of
Zion Grade Schools, Mr..
Dwight Knous, Principal Elm
wood Grade School; Mr.. Paul
Eklund, Principal Lake View
Grade School; Mr.. Jack Neill,
Athletic Coach of Lake View,
and Mr.. Jack Koehler, Athle-
tic Coach of Elmwood, to pre-
sent the idea of a Zion Boys
Club.
The organization has been
set up as follows: Messrs. Scac-
cha, Knous, Eklund, Newen-
ham, Koehler and Neill to con-
stitute the Advisory Board.
First in Importance is that
this program be available to
all boys of the 9Th, 9Th, 7th
and 9Th grades; Secondly, that
boys representative group be
formulated as a boys cabinet,
who will meet with the Advis-
DRY Board to plan and work
out the problems of the Club;
Thirdly, that all boys of the
club are to cooperate and work
with their representative COM
mite in upholding the rules
and regulations suggested by
the boys cabinet.
The detectives of this organ
ization are:
To organize the boys of
Zion.
To provide wholesome in
fluence in recreational activi-
ties.
To help boys formulate clean
healthy habits.
To direct the energies of our
youth in worthwhile enterpri-
ses.
To help youth find himself.
TO build for good citizenship
and Christian fellowship.
Permission has been obtain
ed through Mr.. Newenham to
have the use of the recreation
rooms one night a week, and
through Mr.. Eklund and Mr..
Knous, the facilities of the
schools mats, Ping Pong ia
bles, Shuttle Board, and courts
will also be used. These same
men, Mr.. Eklund and Mr..
Knous are also devoting one
night a week toward the sue
cess of the Club.
On the evening of Monday,
November 18th, at 700 P. NJ,
81 boys living south of 9th
Street, met at Elmwood recrea-
ton rooms to organize a club;
and on Thursday, December
4th, 26 boys living north of
9th Street braved bad wealth.
er to meet at the Lake View
recreation room to organize
another division of the Boys
Club.
The activities so far include

Rotary's Deserved Award

The Wilmington Rotary club well
deserves the international Presidents
award for promoting the "ideal of SER
vice" during the past gear.
The clubs support Of the orthopedic
clinic is indeed a significant achieve
ment. But this is not its single note
worthy work.
When it appeared that the further
development Of Greenfield Park was to
be neglected the club commissioned a
committee to undertake a promotion
campaign with the object of arousing
public opinion to the need for its addi-
tional Identification.
It was following a regular club meet
ing at which the project was explained
by the committees chairman, Mr.. H.
A. Marks, that a hearing was sought
before the City Council, with represen-
tatives of all civic groups. as well as
the Greenfield Park Association, pres
ent. and a broad discussion Of the
needs was held.
To this effort, as much as to any
other promotion, credit is due for the
Councils budget provision for develop
ment and maintenance of the city's
parks and, indirectly, to the proposed
azalea festival and lake carnival in
1913, which has been the cherished
dream of DR.. W. Houston Moore.
While both the clinic and the park
proiects were undertaken by the club
with the sole purpose Of community
betterment, without thought of re-
ward, save only as all service brings it's
own, it is gratifying to Wilmington
Rotarians and residents at large to re-
ceive this recognition.

Vote Tomorrow

Don't forget the city election to-
The occasion is for the selec-
ton of five councilmen, all of whom
were nominated at the recent primary.
1t might be considered that the bal
loting tomorrow will be a mere for
mality so long as a complete ticket is
in nomination, and that a single vote
cast for the entire group is sufficient
to elect.
This, however, is not quite the case.
The North Carolina Election laws pre-
vide that notwithstanding a complete
ticket has been nominated, voters
may write in names of candidates not
on the ballot. So, then, tomorrow will
offer opportunity to cast a ballot for a
favorite not on the ticket at all.
There is small reason to think that
a written vote will change the out
come, although it did once in an up.
state city. But it is always satisfying tc
employ the franchise as a means of ex-
pressing ones personal wish.
That is one of the advantages Of
free elections.

Editorial Comment
AS BAD AS THAT?

A Swiss clown named Crock, who has been
making people laugh with his grimaces for 81
years and is still or the job, recently gave his
views On human nature and existence on this
Terrestrial planet as follows:
Life is lousy. Most of the old clowns have
died and no new ones have come up because
this generation is no good We are no
longer a civilized people but cannibals .
People are eating each other up. Everything
has gone to hell"
Like most cynical expressions of philoso-
phies OF life, this one contains a certain s,1p.
gesfion OF truth. That people are eating each
up Is true, and Crock does not say that it
is univers ally true.
But ne does say that everything has gone
10 neil, which may be a slight exaggeration.
