^NOVEMBER 1, 1962 | Duplin at the Crossroads Sek we began a series of rrtitled Duplin at the oil' the need for an agri industrial development Duplin County. Now let's at how such a program ties that have such pro are financed by county n 1950 the General As ed a bill 'allowing coun ip to five cents on each dollar valuation of pro county for industrial de rhe bid- was introduced ver Davis of Nash Coun lual budget of $15,000 eeded to finance a suc ?am. This includes salary rie executive director, ises, car and travel ex age, publicity, etc. ion to a full-time direc ibly a secretary, 'a deve spciation would need a ectors made up from re s from each community ;y. By having each com esented, the goals of the can be unified into a effort. ic development is by no e-way cause and effect is truly a long range, img effort that must be 1 gradually and not t the same time, the need ' such a program here is ise of the fact that indus iment has become such a competitive business that counties without it will be left far behind. In hiring a full-time executive director, the association should be selective in the person hired. The dir ector should be a man experienced i? community development, preferably with chamber of commree or indus trila development experience. TOe directors first year should primarily U Engaged in laying the necessary ground Work such as fami liarizing himself with the geographic and economic features of the county plus the people and their habits. This man should have thorough knowledge of the aims, methods, practices and resources d>f an industrial develop ment organization plus the knowledge of tax hnd other laws concerning de velopment of industry in the county. He should be a man equipped With a working knowledge of the basic prin cipals of marketing, engineering, fin ancing, and industrial relations as ap plied to the establishment of new in dustrial plants. Realizing Duplin is predominatly agriculture in nature our efforts should fall in that general area and our efforts geared to that end. We should work on related industries like agriculture implement manu facturers, grading, packing plants and food processing facilities. Dup lin County's splendid poultry and swine industry is also an entree to re lated industries. Next week we will discuss the role. of community development clubs in establishing a county-wide program. ? is Court Reform the Answer? Jones County Journal On November 6 North Carolina ?will have the opportunity to vote on Bt number of items, including a so Balled court-reform amendment to State Constitution. Among the principle promises Proponents of this amendment have ?held forth to the votei* are: 1. That it would make court Posts uniform in every county of the 2. That it would make justices ?of peace salaried rather than fee of ?ficers These are promises that have a ?great deal of emotional appeal, es Ipecially when they are harped upon Bit great lengths by those who sup Port this change in our court system. The public is being told how ?great the discrepancy is between the Host of court one has to pay for a Speeding ticket in one county when Bom pared to another county. The public is being told how a Pstice of peace has a vested interest ^HStonvicting all those who appear Pfore him because he only gets a fee B criminal cases when there is a con Both of these statements have an sound, but the public ought to P told also that full and complete Patrol over both of the?e admittedly Pd practices is already in the hands he General Assembly, i Article Four, which is the Ar Ple dealing with North Carolina ?Courts, says: The General Assembly Ball prescribe and regulate the fees, and emoluments of all offi provided for in this article; but ? salaries of the judges shall not be ^^Kfahed during their continuance In office. - ?{- ??? v. I Proponents of the court amend Pt also speak of the need for dis irts to handle the volume of 'K prk that is created by traffic vioia ?ons and domestic relations. EjjSection 2 of Article Four says: P judicial power of the state dhafll B ^Kjted in a court for the trial of Beachments, a Supreme Court, Su Bior Courts, courts of justices of BEbeace and other such courts in '$ Supreme Court as may ^Article Four nors, in cities andf} towns, where the same may be necessary. The question naturally follows after having read these sections of the State Constitution: What does the proposed amendment offer that is not already possible under the ex isting law? First the proposed amendment offers everyone of the 100 counties, whether they need it or not, a dis trict court, which would include a judge, solicitor, clerk and other such clerical personnel as might be need ed. Smaller counties would "share" district courts, while some of the lar ger counties might have several of these "district courts". The General Assembly under Section 10 of Article Four has the power to solve this so called congestion problem. This section says: The General Assembly shall divide the State into a number of judicial districts which number may be increased or reduc ed and shall provide for the election of one or more superior court judges for each district. There shall bfe a Su perior Court in each county at least twice in each year to continue for such time in each county as may be prescribed by law. Under an expansion of the Su perior court bench it would not be necessary to create new courts of les ser jurisdiction, nor to employ addi tional clerical personnel. Secondly, the proposed "impro vement" of die courts would make all justices of peace appointive, ra ther than elective. At present 85 per cent of the criminal cases arising in North Carolina are handled in JP courts. Removing courts which han dle the vast majority of the criminal cases from control by electorate is not a step in the direction of better courts. Under the proposed amendment justices of peace would be appointed by the resident superior court in the county which the JP is to serve. Both the judge and clerk of su perior court are elective officers, whose bestjudgement in the appoint ment of JFs could not be expected to ignore political considerations in the recommending and making of such valuable appointments. So rather than making the jus ting public, as he is at present, this system would make the JF the poli tical vessel of the superior court clerks and judges. The addition of superior court judges in those areas where court calendars are behind, the addition of sufficient prosecution staff to permit the frequent operation of Hie courts, making justices of peace salaried ra ther than fee officers and making all court costs in every county of the state uniform are already the com plete province of the General As sembly. m > . ?

Proverbs 4:25 I am interested in the past toe cause I was born back there, but when I was trying to get Social Security 1 couldn't prove it.

I knew some hillbilly religion ists who sang lustily of the fu ture only.

Bridges The Bible to the Church * Boek The Church believes that the Bible is "inspired". To be sure, the writings were set down, edited collected, arranged and rearran ged. and the* copied again and again by human hands. But . ever present in this long history of the Book was the leading of the Holy Spirit One of the strange and -wonderful things about the Bible ia that it is not simply a record at God's having spoken in the past; it is also the means by which he speaks to his peo ple today. (The Word .which God speaks is the giving of himself, making His presence known, disclosing his will. God's word is his per sonal activity. Through the bibli cal .record, it self inspired by the Holy Spirit God makes himself known to his church today. Through the written word, we Vjncounter his living word. \ In reading the Bible with hearts open to the leading of the Holy Spirit, we find our eyes open to God's purpose for us and to his promises in Christ. We lind the searching, judging, heal ing, reconciling power of his Holy Love. We begin to understand ourselves and to find the mean ing. of existence. We know that we are called to take our place in the fellowship of God's people In the Bible we are confronted by God's claim upon us, his ju dgment of us, his promises, to us, the reality of his healing, re conciling love, the commission to witness for him, and to minis ter to the needs of all men in His name. It is here that we come to un derstand our unity in Christ. Each Christian makes his own personal response to God's word. A. L D. % Mr. Businessman - a DUPLIN TIMES want ad will sell your proouct.

He starred i each year as a baseball and bas- J ketball first-stringer. i Greatly liked and highly res pected by ether pupils, he was - class president in three grades ? 1 9, 10, and 11. ' King (it's his mother's maiden i name) was elected president of the student 'body without opposi- 1 tion in his senior year. J And at graduation last year he was awarded a $2,000-a-year sch- i larship to Harvard University. < When King Triplett returned J this summer to Boone, his small ] home town in the mountains of t North Carolina, 1 called on hint for an interview. i I told him frankly that I want- j ea to learn his secret for being < such a successful all-round stu dent and person, so that I could i pass it along to other young men. 1 In the 1920's a group of psycho- i legists studied the characteristics i oI famous men of the -world in an < effort to discover what they had j in common that's basic to suc cess. 1 Why not do the same for an i outstanding student?

When King took time off from ? his summer job as a radio an nouncer to visit with me, he an- I sawered questions frankly and simply. Here's what he said about his success in school: 1 1. I get all school work com- i pleted as soon as possible af.er i it is assigned. 1 feel better and j do a better job when I don't waft until the last second. 2. I utilize every spare minute \ in school preparing, nomewor* Much can toe deoe in those tew moments before a elass bell rui^a and during library and study pe riods.

I did this for a few days hut soon stop ped. 1 felt hypocritical. Ir contin ued to greet people but - it was done sincerely and not for effect. Has this philosophy helped at Harvard, one of the world's lead ing institutions? "Yes," King replied. "My gra des weren't as high as those 1 made in high school, however. 1 got five "B's" and three "C's" the first year. "Tougher competition is one re ason for this,'' he explained. "Still, 1 could have done much better if I had put in more time studying. But being from a small town, I found there were many more things that I wanted to learn that one doesn't learn from books. I thought these were more im portant than the "A's". For The People Mr. O. was a tenant farmer who, although ha had never accumulated any savings, had provided a de cent living for his wife and nine year-old son. When he became phy sically disabled because of seri ous heart condition and could so longer work, the family situation became acute. One by one he sold his possessions-his farm equipment and, his two .good mules. Then, when ail his resources were de pleted, he applied to the county de partment of public welfare for help. It was possible, because of his physical disability, for the family to receive an aid to dependent chil dren grant, which helped maintain them. Mr. t>. died suddenly and Mrs. D., who suffered acutely from elephantasis of both legs, was un able to shoulder the responsibility of making a living for herself and the son. The aid to dependent children grant was continued, and the son, now 14 years of age and a healthy and strong boy, was able to do heavy farm work. He worked after school and during the summer months, and slowly their standard of living improved. Piece by piece be brought much needed articles of furnitutar tor the home,. The son was ambitions to go to college, but had no idea how he this goal. He talked with his teach ers, principal, neighbors, and case worker from the county department of public welfare. The caseworker told him that the public welfare department would help with his plan, and work was started towards securing a scholarship for him. Eighteen months lapsed during vfkieh the ^caseworker, through de termined .effort, was finally able to help him get enough money thr ough scholarships for his first year In college. At present he is a junior, and although neither he nor the county department of public wel fare is sure that he can secure sch lorships to see him through the next two years, the agency has every reason to believe that with his con tinued determatkm, hard work, and good college rocerd, he will gradu ate in 19M. (Because an aid to dependent children grant enabled him to re main in school until he finished high school, instead of quitting to take a laborer's job, this boy was able to set his sights on college. At a college graduate he will bo in a position to make a good living and provide for his mother.
