? Speaking of progress, in some
respects. BeulavQle is a most
amazing town. Yesterday I at
tended ground breaking ser
vices at the Presbyterian
Church. The Methodist Church
held services in their church
for the first time in 1964. The
Free will Baptist have their
lot cleared ready to start con
struction following a fire. The
Baptist church in Beulaville Is
In the planning state of a new
sanctuary, within the next few
years I feel sure they will have
lour new churches, isn't that
fantastic?

Happy was usually at the office.
She came to the front door and
gently let her presence be
known. Always entering after
a lady, she came In to the "run

rounds to see Just what everyone
was doing, she usually stretch

the most out-of-the way piece
she could find. Nor did she de

My friend, Mrs. Elery Guth
rie Drought me a clipping from
a Newspaper dated July 22,1862.
The name of die paper has been
removed but a most Interesting
ad about "Greens bo rough Fe

Latin $6.00; French $10.00; Oil
Painting $20.00; Drawing,

The urge to travel overcame
my friend, Mrs. Blanche Wll

That b of course temporary

between here and there and
there. And talk about traveling,
she never breaks the speed li

WASHINGTON - Crime Is
rampant and rising In our land.
News media relate an endless
stream of criminal activity. The
latest FBI statistics substan
tiate this picture with graphic
details. According to these sta
tistics, since 1960 the volume
of crime in the United States
has risen 46 percent while the
population has grown only 8
percent.
The chronicale of crime in
the Uiited States for 1965 is
as follows: serious crimes, 2.
780,000, an increase of 6 per
cent over 1964; murders, 9
850, an increase of 6 percent
over 1964; forcible rapes, 22,
740, an Increase of 9 pec em
over 1964; robberies, 118,920,
an Increase of 6 percent over
1964; aggravated assaults, 206,
700, an Increase of 6 percent
over 1964; grand larcenies, 762,
400, an Increase of 8 percent
over 1964; and auto thefts, 486,
600, an Increase of 5 percent
over 1964.
There Is much bewilderment
In the public mind about what
to do about crime, what It
means, and where It may end.
Citizens write me: "What is
causing this crime wave?"
There could be many answers

Duplin County Churches
Advent Christian Church
By: Ruth B. Wells
The only Advent christian
Church in Duplin County Is
located at Potters HOI. a few
hundred yards from Highway
41 across the road from me old
Potters HOI school building.
The records have been lost
and no definite date of organi
zation can be given, it Is known
that It wis In existence 76
years ago at least. It began as
ajemor ??bush arber^revtval
building for worshipping until
a^atnictiOT j*as erected on
After a fewyears this building
was not sufficient so an extra
piece was added. This was used
until 1944 when It was outgrown
and a new church was built on
the present site. A parsonage
wu built In 1964. Since that time
there has been a full time pas
tor. The attendance steadily
grew so In 1956 a Sunday School
annex was added. By 1965 there
once more was needed addi
tional space, so another annex
was bulk.
There are 192 on the Sunday
School roll with an average
attendance of about 190. There
are 194 active members on the
church roll, 89 men and 105
women. There are several youth
sponsored by the womens Home
and Foreign Mission Society
of the church.
Anyone in the vicinity looking
for a church home would find a
warm welcome In this "old
time" country church.
The pastor Is Rev. Donald
Lawson

ciation to Mrs. Ernest Qulnn

The rationale of the Miranda
case Is particularly unjust to
the thousands of dedicated law
enforcement officers who seek
to protect the lives, the bodies,
the habitations, and the other
property of citizens from cri
minal depredations. Scores of
law enforcement officers die In
the performance of their duty
each year In order that we may
live. Yet the sum and substance
of the Miranda decision over
looks this in Its effort to jus
tify Its erroneous opinion that
a substantial percent of all law
enforcement officers, who In
vestigate unsolved crimes and
Interrogate suspects In custody,
resort to undue pressure or
trickery to obtain confessions
from tne suspects In custody;
that In consequence, suspects
comes from the James Sprunt
Institute Administration and has
been approved by the State Su
in custody need protection from
law enforcement officers who
interrogate them; and that the
best way to protect suspects is
to surround police officers with
conditions that deter suspects
from making confessions or
even asserting their innocence.
Some law enforcement offi
cers do abuse their authority,
but some judges do too - es
pecially when they attempt to
amend constitutions and make
laws rather than Interpret them.
Hamstringing all law enforce
ment officers because some of
them err is about on a par
with padlocking all courtrooms
because some judges err.
Law enforcement officers
need the support of the govern
ments that constituted them.
They need this support con
stantly, in tangible ways, and
particularly now.

Slogging It Out
(The following article appeared In the News
week magazine quoting a Magnolia soldier
In vlet Nam. Editor's note)
Though it has been one of the biggest
and longest sweeps of the Vietnamese war.
Operation Paul Revere has not been a par
ticularly spectacular one. in contrast with
some recent encounters - such as Operation
Hastings In which almost 200 U.S. marines
and perhaps as many as 1,600 of the enemy
were killed in nearly four weeks of Intense
action - Paul Revere has accounted for only
786 enemy dead in the 87 days since it
began. Ana for the thousands of Gl's involved
in Paul Revere, their dogged pursuit of the
North Vietnamese 32nd Regiment has become
frustrating.
Part of the trouble has been that the
monsoon rains have made U.S. air sur
veillance and reinforcement efforts a very
chancy affair. Just how serious a difficulty
this can be was shown last week when a
platoon of the First Air Cavalry found itself
surrounded by Nortn ? letnamese shortly after
a seemingly uneventful landing in the Jungles
of south Vietnam's central highlands.
Immediately after the platoon's helicopters
took off, the weather closed in, making
reinforcement impossible. Then the North
Vietnamese opened up, killing both the platoon
commander and his first sergeant. "Every
way we turned, they'd fire on us." recalls
Sgt. Willie Glaspie of Magnolia, N. C.
By the time 46 minutes had elapsed,
the platoon's radic had been captured, ending
all contact with the outside. "We decided ft
was a lost cause," says Glaspie. "We said
we would fight till we were all dead,"
Finally, a few members of the platoon
managed to get off the landing zone into
heavy cover. As they watched helplessly,
the North Vietnamese overran the landing
area, killing all the wounded GI's on it save
three who escaped by playing dead. By the
time the weather changed enough to let re
inforcements come in, only nine of the
original 27 air cavalrymen were alive. Among
them was sergeant Glaspie, who next day
went into action again with a new squad. And
Paul Revere ground on.

DEAR MISTER EDITOR:
I was reading this piece in
the papers where the U. 8. De
partment of Labor has come out
with a new book called The
Dictionary of Occupational Ti
tles." This piece said the book
listed more than 36,000 kinds
of jobs fer earning a living to
day in the United States.
The piece went on to say the
Labor Department had found
about 6,000 jobs that was brand
new on account of the new kind
of things they was making and
selling these days. But they
found about 7,000 kinds of jobs
that wasn't being done no more.
I reported these items to the
fellers at the country store Sat
urday night and Ed Doolittle
was of the opinion they probable
left out one way people was
working to git a living. He said
he had saw a piece where they
made a survey some place in
California that showed folks on
relief in some cases spend about
40 hours a week gitting their
benefits. They was working ap
plying fer benefits, standing in
lines, talking to welfare work
ers, filling out forms and going
from one place to another fer
free services of different kinds
Ed said this piece said in a heap
of cases these folks was working
harder not working than they
would be working.
Zeke Grubb reported he was
glad to git this information and
if the worst come to the worst
_ he aimed to write the Labor De
partment and buy one of them
books. It was a mystery to him,
allowed Soke, that we got 38,
000 ways of earning a living in
this country and his brother-in
law couldn't find a single one
of them. He said this feller had
been disemployed now fer a -
year and was sleeping at his
house and eating his vittels
about half the time.
Clem Webster figgered them
7,000 kinds of jobs that has dis
appeared was probable due to i f
automation. He was of the opin
ion that this number will jump
to 27,000 by the time the Labor
Department gits around to com
piling the next dictionery. Clem
told the fellers that from what
he could hear, about the only
things they wasn't running with
machinery in the factories to
day was the labor union con
tracts. He said he had advised
his young grandson to go into
the barber shop business on ac
count of this was about the only
job that wasn't liable to git
eliminated by automation. Clem f t
figgered they ain't never made
a machine that will give a fel
ler a good haircut and never
will.
Come to think about it, Mis
ter Editor, Clem might have
been giving that boy some good
advice. Haircuts was $2.50 in
Washington, according to the
papers, and the Barbers Union
in Los Angeles has announced
they was going to $2.50 soon.
I'm mighty glad I'm gitting more
baldheaded ever day.
Yours truly

The man was suffering from
what appeared to be a case of
shattered nerves. After a long
spell of failing health, he finally
called a doctor. "You are In
serious trouble," the doctor
said. "You are living with some
terribly bothersome thing;
something that is possessing
you from morning to night. We
must find what it is and destroy
it."
"Ssssssh, -doctor." said the
man, "you are -absolutely right, -
but don't say it it so loud -
she's sitting in the next room
and she might hear you."
How easy it is to blame
our troubles and aches and pains
on those closest to us. Sus
picion breeds distrust. This is
true as much in the home as
anywhere, perhaps more so.
And distrust in a home can
cause much misery.
Homes can be a part of hea
ven Itself or it can be h?U on
earth, in my years as a pastor
I have had ample opportunity
to observe the validity of this
statement. The proper power
structure of a home should be
vested in a democracy. Man
and wife should work together.
It is a sort of a "united we
stand, divided we fall" pro
position.
In any marriage and in any
home trie little things some
times count for more impor
tance than the big or obvious
things. Remembering birthdays
and anniversaries can be im
portant. But it is even more
important simply to care and
to express sucn care in the
Incidental relationships of a
home. The person who wrote the
popular song a few years ago,
"little Things Mean a Lot."
must have been thinking about
a home.
Our nation has remained
strong because of the solidity
of our homes. But the decay
of our homes in recent years
places dark storm clouds on
ou nation's horizon. Jane Ad
dams once said. "America's
future will be determined by
the home and the school. The
child becomes largely what It Is
taught, hence we must watch
what we teach It, and how we
live before 11." Amen!
What Is a home? It Is a
world of strife shut out - a
world of love shut In. It Is the
only spot on earth where the
faults and fallings of fallen hu
manity are hidden under the
mantle of charity. It Is the i <
father's kingdom, the children's
paradtte, the mother's world.^
It Is Where you are treated the'
best and grumble the most, or
at least it ought to be.
