Wish you could have been at Warsaw the
other night when the Duplin County Industrial
Council was organized.
Object is to blueprint what Duplin has to
offer industry. To print it for distribution to
prospective industries, and to set up a continu
ing plan for seeking out industries.
It's the first organization of its kind in Eas
tern North Carolina. Some thirty-five. Duplin
Mayors, county officials and leading citizens
were present. They showed a splendid spirit of
cooperation and of determination to pull to
gether as one for the development of their coun
ty.. They pointed out that's the only way to
make jobs for folks being displaced by mach
inery on the farm. ..The only way to raise the
average income. And Duplin's is much lower
than North Carolina's. North Carolina's is low
er than the nation's.
For more than two hours the Dupliners
discussed every angle of the problem. They
know it is not an easy one. They know that in
dustries can't be pulled out of a hat by some
sleight of hand trick.
Community attitudes can be very impor
tant in bringing in a new industry. Melvin
Cording showed that when he detailed how
Wallace got the big J. P. Stevens plant. Id: 3
days the town of Wallace, population 1,500,
raised $46,000 with which to purchase a site
for the big mill. Stevens could have made that
purchase. But Stevens wanted people of Wal
lace to feel that they're part owners of the busi
ness and have a direct and personal stake in
its operation. '
That is a wonderful record for Wallace.
Do you know another town where $46,000
could be raised in three days to buy a site for
even so reputable and nationally known com
pany as Stevens?
James H. C. Hill of Faison made a point
worth remembering.
North Carolina each year spends about
$5,000,000 in development, promotion.expan
sion and experimentation for agriculture.: That
is all right. It is as it should be. It is money
well spent. , ;
What does North Carolina appropriatefor
efforts to bring industry in, to locate industrial
prospects, to contact them, provide -them with '
data and look for other prospects through ad
vertising and direct contact? What do you '
' think the state spends in this direction? About
$65,000 or $70,000 a year, Hill said.
The amount spent on industrial promotion
is about 1 1-2 percent Hill said, on what the
state wisely expends to further develop and
protect its agriculture.
That investment for agriculture has paid
off many fold. Increase in appropriation for
more industry would pay off equally as well.
Byron Bryan made a good point. . He's
head of Calypso Veneer. One of the Bryan
brothers Goldsboro has such a high opinion of.
He's been checking in wood-working circles for .
possible government orders in the defense pro-'
gram. He said that it would be important to
know exactly how many among Duplin's labor
' supply can qualify as skilled workers.) . There ,.1
are many, no doubt, who worked, during the :
war, in defense plants in other states. .This will
- be one phase of the data to, be compiiedUn the
industrial survey the Council will provide.! "
New promotion help for Southeastern N.
C. will come through Carl Sink.' For years He
.was Bill Sharpe's assistant in the department
of conservation.' He is the new head of public
relations for Tidewater Power. He says that
Tidewater is launching on an expansion pro
gram as rapidly as possible. This will enable
the electrical company, he said, to give the ser
vice the section warrants.
: Carolina Telephone manager told of doub
ling the company's facilities in Warsaw, Of go
ing soon to Wallace to rnake arrangements to
meet the need which-will come from the aew
textile plant there. He added that as rapidly
as possible all Duplin will get phone service.
Watch Duplin.- Those men are determined

Sharing Our Faith
Lesson for December It, 195
SCRIPTUftE: Acta :1-1S: lS:l-Tj I
Corinthian :1-17; II Corinthian :H
M; PhUipplana 1:12-18; S:U-1S.
DEVOTIONAL READING! Bonian ll
H7. ,.: ;
A ! COMMON sight In eities of
ancient times was the "liba
tion." Statues of gods or goddesses
stood at every prominent .corner.
In every yard; they
were as numerous
as billboards today.
Before one of these
statues some one
would be pouring
out .' wine ' from ... a
cup or goblet, an
offering of thanks
giving or dedica
tion. Saint Paul
even used the liba
Dr. Foreman
tion as a figure of epeech to de
scribe himself. My life, he said to
his friend Timothy, is being poured
out there was not much left of
it, but all of it, every drop, would
be poured out as an offering to
God. . '
..
Miser of Life or Spender?
pAXJL was no miser of life. If life
was a full cup, it was not a cup
with tight lid, not like one of your
grandmother's jars of very special
preserves to be saved and saved
but never used. Paul was a spend
er of life. Whatever God bad given
him was to be poured out, not to be
saved.
There Is something Ja .every
one's cap of life; something that "
polls if kept too long, some
thing fragrant and beautiful
when poured out in service.
The miser of life finds that life
at last turns sour on him. The spend
er of life finds that as he has given.
In the same measure it will be
given him.
Faith Can't Be Hoarded
ONE very Important part of the
Christian's lifs Is high-lighted
for us In this week's Scripture: his
faith. Indeed, faith ought not to be
a part of life for the Christian.
Faith Is no more a "part" of Ufa
than sunshine is a part of the out-of-doors.
Without the sunshine there
might as well not -be any. out-of-doors.
So without faith the Chris
tian's life would be mere existence.
The question Is: What do we
do with our faith? Do we keep
it for ourselves alone or do we
' pass It on? .. . A V
Lis slimmer a msft tried, to get
a grocery store to take back 100
pounds of sugar which he had laid
up during World War n. He' had
hoarded it till it was hard as rock
and he could not use a pound of It
(The grocery would not take it
back, and it served him right)
Faith is like that. It Is sweet and
good but only if we use it . and
share it, not if we keep it to our
selves. What Is Sharing; Faith?
SHARING your faith means help
ing others to have a faith at
least as strong as your own. All
around us there are persons who
have no faith at all. They are dis
couraged, blue, bewildered, attoosa
ends In the sad old phrase, they
are lost Sharing your faith means
sharing it with just such people.
With some things, the mere
yon ..give away the less you
have left; but the arithmetic of
religion la different The more
yon give away, the mere yea
have. ' Shared, faith la living
faith; shared faith la growing
faith. '
There are more ways than one
of sharing our faith. One way is to
talk about it A person can "give a
testimony in a prayermeetmg, and
share faith that .way; but this la
not the only way. A person who
merely talks about faith Is a little
like gardener who Is proud of
his own garden and brags on It
but never helps his neighbors with
theirs.
' ' O 0-0
How Can We Do It Every Day?
REMEMBER, what we are really
trying to share when we "share
the gospel' or "share Christ" la
not an argument et of proposi
tions. The big thing is not arguing
other people, into becoming Chris
tians.' . ' M'-,;-,':,.f'
' Very few persons have ever
treeeme ChristUna beeaaee
some en talked them bite It -'
Talk has ita place, and every
Christian should he eager te
... say a good word for Jeans
Christ at every chance. -: But
good words for Jeans have their .
best eff eet when they come
from a life, that hi really Bis.
v A Christian whose faith is some
thing put on on Sundays with the
"church clothes" Is not going to
have any great success as a soul
winner. We- can't share faith we
don't have; we ean't share second
hand or Imitation' faith. A former
Mohammedan,. ' being asked what
was the great arugment that won
wasn't any argument It was the
him to Christianity, replied, "It
lives of some missionaries."

Raleigh, N. C. The beer boys
are going to try for the Jackpot in
the 1951 General Assembly. '
They're go ng to try to put SJ294
brew In each and every one of the
100 counties. -,r .
Via the grapevine comes word
that the beer barons are not satis
fied with the local option vote on
tale of beer -- they get. beat too
often to suit mem.
So they're going to try to put
through a state-wide bill making it
legal to sell the 3.2 beer In every
county. The first step, or perhaps
in the preamble of the bilL will be
to get the 3 2 declared "non-intoxi
cating '. in other words, they'll say
it's just about aa innocent aa the
"near beer" of prohibition days.
Actually, I'm told, the beer being
sold In those North Carolina coun
ties which have legal beer sales
Is very little if any above the 22
alcohol mark. ; vS'-.'-'
And, if any of you have any
doubts that 3.2 beer wont get folks
to feeling pretty frisky, ask some
of the boys In the service. Most
PX's sell beer on army posts, and
it's suposedly 3.2. But It does
right well in the way of making a
lot of the boys feel no pain. :
The beer boys have contacted
most of the Incoming legislators,
and reportedly are boasting that
they have enough of the lawmakers
on their side to get the state-wide
3.2 beer sale bill through both the
House and Senate. -v

' The Governor week before last
said in effect that grafting had been
pretty common in the Prison De
partment for yean, but that break
ing it up would take "at least two
years." ' T.. ;...;.
He said breaking this up would
save the State millions of dollars.
He hit at critics of the admini
stration who, he said, "'just want
to criticize but don't offer any con
structive criticism." , .
The Governor maintained that
his so-called "petty graft campaign"
has saved up to some $3,000,000.
He did not cite other figures,, but
said this saving has been made by
abolishing free meals at prisons,
cutting down use of telephones ana
state-owned cars, and in keeping
state employees from walking off
with hams, etc., from state farms.
As to prison graft CAPITAL RE
PORTER noted some time ago that
the) State Bureau of Investigation
is quietly ' Investigating ' prison
camps, all over the State. There
have been some changes made In
some of those, camps recently, and
likely there wftfoe others.
Prison Director John Gold ,1s
doing everything he can to clean
up the situation, but anyone fami
liar with the situation knows that
it will take some time. After all,
you can't remake a prison system
overnight, and some of the goings
on are so deep rooted that it will
take quite a bit of digging. Accu
sing a man of being a crook Is one
thing, but proving it on him Is
quite a different job. -.
' Back to beer for a minute'. The
N. C. Division of the U. S. Brewers
Foundation has been advertising a
"Live and Let Live" campaign
lately. The ad praises the work of.
the Malt Beverage Division of the
State Board of Alcoholic Control
in ' keeping beer-selling places
"clean, orderly and operating ac-
cordingly to law". -,
j C. A. Upchurch, Jr. has done a
good job in cleaning up the beer
joints. But it seems a little Ironic
that his praise must come from the
brewers..;':.;.;,.''''.';':-"

Th rnttontail rabbit is OUT faV-
nrlta ffnme animal. If you don't be
lieve this, Just look at the facts dug
up by George Heinoia: some tx mu
lion hunters take to the field each
season and bag between 30 and 40
minion . bunnies. The Incredible
harvest puts ; nearly 100 million
pounds of" succulent meat Into the
national stewnan. According to a
recent, survey, the rabbit tou aaas
tip to more than 50 per cent of all
other small same combined! , i
Now there are several sporting
wavs to hunt rabbits. Men who
like' grade-A hound : music ; send
beagles into the field. But many
other breeds will serve the purpose.
In fact, any pooch that will tree the
neighbor's cat will also run a rabbit
For tops In sport, however, cer
tain qualities are necessary In a
rabbit dog. Nose and persistence
are the most important ; V
Unlike the fox-hound, low-geared
speed is desirable in a rabbit dog.
A fast dog will run the game Into
dens, but a slow one drives in a
circle and almost invariably brings
bunny back to where the chase be
gan. Next to the beagle, a spaniel
or terrier would be a good choice
for a rabbit dog. t
But you can hunt without a dog.
The main thing Is knowing where
to look tor rabbits. They can usually
be found snoozing in brush lots,
meadowlands. grassy thickets on
ill-kept farms and cutover wood
lots. Never pass up a brushy sunny
slope when hunting on farmland.
Buckshot dung, piles of little brown
pellets are the signs to look for.
Then after the first snow blank
ets the woods, you can'try the pas
time of "Injun-walking" rabbits
Following tracks in fresh the snow
keeps you in contact With move
ments of your game. :?..
There is an important rule to
remember " when Injunwalklng
rabbits: although they are hard to
evict from their beds the first
time, they are apt the second time
to jump the new lair before- you
can get close enough to kick the
cover. So watch it ; J
