We Find Ye Still Have Troubles Today - ' BY BILL BYBD .

Believe it or not, in this age of super conic Jet propulsion and - atomic powered subs, there are still a lot of folks here in Duplin who seem to prefer using the back yard, the corn field, or pine woods in prefer ence to a sanitary privy -that . meaning a "John" that's built ac cording to , specifications of th State Board of Health and kept in , decent manner. - v Davy Crockett may have influ enced a few of the very young set ties ttwej-the tmnMrWnlniW,tywayX9 madelnvth mi aouirrel rifle on raur annul- rand, to pay UUe mlpd to such jlngs as sewage disposal, out n bad the Indians and such to keep iim a bit more occupied, -In spite of the modern jets and supposed "civilized living", v we have tome folks still who want to live like a frontiersman.

We're salting tor trouble when , we Ignore the basic principles of healthful and safe jiving. - - " Another thing of great concern to me is our water supply. A few day! ago, Joe - and I saw a situation 1 -where three families were getting their drinking water from an open well that had' no more, than six or eight inches of water, m it and was wide open to whatever "varmint" that might come along. Folks, that's , . worse than bad. It wouldn't be hard at all for a situation like that ' to result in an outbreak of dysen tery or typhoid fever and what's : more, "most of these folks ' likely . wouldn't be able to afford medical tieatment except as is provided for by the county- I think that God must watch over us mighty close- . ly or about half of us would be dead ' cut ot plain, carelessness end lazl- r ness.,' : j:. Now if you happen to see a cou ple of-fellows wandering around - out behind somebody's house and carrying a stapling machine and a handful '.of placards, most likely it will be us "lust looking."

The rain did the fully de veloped i tobacco good because it slowed down the ripening process. Some farmers had reported that too much of the golden weed was com ing off at each cropping., This, they say, is due to not, humid weather, with little or no rain. - ' Corn was "burning up from the bottom" before-the rains. Had suf ficient -water not arrived when it did, the corn crop, which has a bet ter than average start, would have been a failure. '--"rvv. . "You can have the best stalk and foliage in the world," farmers were heard to say before the rain," but if you don't get some water when the ears are filling out, you need not look for 'a corn crop." Cotton will probably suffer some what from the large rainfall. Al though the lint crop is known to produce best under hot snd dry weather conditions, it too must have some -water and was needing some. Boll weevil infestation is expected to rise with the wet weather put ting in its appearance. For tobacco, this is harvest time. This is a time to be thankful. Soon see if you can't think of a sltua tion around your home, on your farm, or around a tenant's house and you try cleaning it up instead of waiting for me or Joe to get 1 tnere withrthat "thirty days" pad We'll appreciate it a whole lot and so will the rest of Duplin. any Pays Local Taxes The till of county and city tax collectors was substantially increas ed when checks dated June 29 total ling $3,574.03 were presented to the I town of Kenansville and ; Duplin County by Carolina Telephone and I Telegraph Company.

'The Man Called Peter' Is Worth Your Viewing LAUREN SHARPS, Minister Kenansville Baptist Charon THE MAN CALLED PETER is a story about the faith and works of Peter Marshall, former chaplain to the United States Senate. It is a heart-warming story of the life of a man to whom Gad was very per sonal and real It is a demonstra tion of the : mysterious ways in which. God does His wonderful will for our lives when we are dedicat ed to His higher plans. The book is a masterpiece and in .my opin ion the movie is the best that Hol lywood has ever produced insofar rs Its worth to the society ot hu man beings. It is my understanding that this picture is to be shown at the Capital Theatre in Kenansville next week. If you have not seen it I recommend yon do so at .your earliest convenience. However- if you do not want your faith in God uplifted and your neart renewed, ao not go to see it. If you see it as it tells its story, life will certainly have a broader meaning.

Emergency Ambulance Is Added To The Kenansville Fire Department-Service - BY LAUREN 8HAKPE The Kenansville Fire Department has . added to it's equipment an emergency ambulance. It has long been felt that such a vehicle was needed and especially so since the hospital was so nesr. The members are-the more grate ful' in the fire department that we can offer this service to our com munity. Had it not been for our many friends we would not have been able to accomplish this pro ject. ! To the following, we want to ex nreas our public gratitude: Mr. Jim Wilkerson, who helped us find the ambulance; Mr. G. S. Best of Quinn McGowan Co., who gave us a cot; Mr. George Sutton, a pamt job; Mr. Thomas Hughes, lettering; Flake Pales anf Service, recapped tires; Service Motor Co., various items; Stcnhens Hardware Co., various Items; and Mr. C. E. Quinn and Mr. Leo Jackson, Who gave us sheets and pillow cases for the cot. ' There were many others who helped in many ways besides these and for them we are most appre ciative. The ambulance has a shiny new white coat of paint' with red let ters. It is equipped with siren and red lights and such equipment as :s customarily found on such vehi cles. We also have a most adequate first aid kit, a resuscitator for ad ministering oxygen, two tanks- of oxygen, all kinds of antiseptics and useful equipment for transporting all kinds of patients to the hospital. It is believed that this is the onlv ambulance as such owned by a vol unteer fire department in North Carolina. It's eouipment puts it on a par with any in the United States for service rendered by an ambu lance. The personnel of the Ken anoville fire derjartment is able to no charge whatsoever to the citi- zens of the Town of Kenansville for ambulance service to the Duplin General Hospital.'- For emergency calls answered outside the town li- ': -"All, businessmen In Duplin Co realize that they most sdvertlse To stay in business and they must not stock more of certain Items in their store than they can expect to sell over a reasonable length of time," he continued. "By the same token, farmers need to take an active part in promoting the efficient production and sale, botn at home and abroad of their tobacco and peanuts. "Tobacco Associates, to which far mers have chosen tb contribute 10 cents per acre of tobacco allotment, ass done an excellent job in pre vious years of promoting the sale of our tobacco in the highly com- retltive world markets. It has been through the efforts of Tobacco As sociates that our country has been obJi ble to export 423 million pounds ot .tobacco annually in previous years," he declared. As for the quota referendum, George Sumner says that he, as a farmer, has seen how tobacco sold before farm programs-were estab lished to keep supply in line with demand, and How farmers went all-, out in their production and forced the price back down again when quotas were voted out In 1939. This is a vital decision to be made by farmers, he said, whether they want Quotas, continued 90 per cent price support, and ' penalties for overplanting, or whether they want to throw all this out the window.

Briefs NEXT WEEK - Next week the Times will carry a statement of principle of newspap ers of North Carolina as adopted by the State Press Association, in ses sion this week. You will find it in this column. By The United Press In "America's Premier Small City Dally" The Klnston Daily Free rrem. GLOUCESTER, Mass.. July 6 Business prophet Roger W. Babson observed his 80th birthday today and wished he were "eight years old instead" so he could witness the world's "third great renaissance." ."I believe the world is entering a i third great renaissance com parable with the Renaissance of the 15th Century brought about by orbiting and Bible reading and the Renaissance of the 18th Century brought about by steam and shov el," he said in an interview at his summer home here. Babson, founder and director of Babson ' Institute in Wellesley, Mass., looked to the business an4 lecnnoiogicai zuture witb the re mark that "I only wish I were eight years old Instead of 80." The predictor of the 1929 stock market crash said it was "im possible to forecast now for a long period" but good times seemed to ue in tne cards. ' "I believe defense spending will remain stable and the cash federal budget will balance in 1956," Bab son said. "Inventories will increase, home riding will ease, but public works wm expand. Both Incomes snd savings will increase due to higher wages, greater consumer spending, and higher exports." JULY SALE All Duplin generally awaits the two sales each year at A.

Simmons of Albertson, county Farm Bureau president, to day urged all flue - cured farmers to get out and vote Saturday, aa he disclosed these statistics. "In other words," Le Roy O. Simmons said, "35 ii cents out ot every dollar tobacco brings to growers here in Duplin County comes from sales to foreign coun tries. The referendum will deter mine whether the farmers are wil ling to continue to assess themselv es 10 cents per acre or about 60 cents a year for the average grow er during the next thrM vmn That market meant $215 per aero or $1,075 to every flue-cured grow er last year." Le Roy G. Simmons revealed that 33,062,300 pounds of flue-cured to bacco was produced In Duplin Co.. last year from 23,077.6 acres, with' an average per acre yield of 1439 pounds. "If two-thirds of the farmers vot ing in the referendum Saturday ap prove the assessment," LeRoy G. " Simmons said, "Tobacco Associates) will continue its broad export pro- motional program to maintain and expand overseas outlets for . our leaf." He said that each year since To bacco Associates was organized eight years ago, the average rate ot consumption of flue-cured tobacco produced in the United States baa been 75.685,000 pounds used do- mestically and 422,000,000 pouncD exported.
