f Society For Prevention Of Dogs & Cats
A Commissar Is not a est fancier In
Russia these days and neither Is a dog
a Russian's best friend. The Soviet Com
munists are on a pet purge - killing thou
sands of dogs and cats across the country.
The reason is not surprising; the ani
mals eat too much food, the food-poor
Communists who have had little hesitancy
In carrying out massacres of people don't
bat an eye about massacres of pets. You
can't even lead a dog's life behind the
Iran Curtain, it sounds like a play on words,
but b Is true.
"isvestla," the official organ of the Soviet
government, reported a three-day bloodbath
In the Crimean city of MM-ch. Thousands of
dogs were shot In the streets in broad
daylight, while health workers killed other
[ pets with Iron pikes ?In the from and back
yards of horrified pet-lovers.
The "London Times" reported that cat
massacres were carried out in the central
( ASlan city of Alma Ata, and in Sukhumi,
In the Caucasus. In the Ukrainian city of
Kharkov, health workers put out special
bins in courtyards as a dump for the bodies
of stray cats. Appeals for help from the
populace were made on television.
The last conference of Soviet veterinary
surgeons In Moscow gave an Indication of
the extent of the pet massacres. Each
delegation issued a report on the number
of dogs which were "exterminated" In its
district. A Russian economist had previously
worked out an estimate of food consumption
by animals. Converting this to cost in ru
bles, he showed the great "advantage" to
the state In killing Russian pets. The mas
sacre has a role tor the chQden too; Uk
rainian boys and girls are being given les
sons In, "Why I should not play with ani
mals." Also numerous animal shelters have
been closed down with no explanation.
When you read about the American lady
who, some time ago, left a sizable inheri
tance for the care and preservation of her
two cats It just goes to show you that the
pet In our land has more freedom than peo
ple In Russia. And that Is not a cany re
mark!

It Is hard to measure what
one contributes to life and when
that contribution Is so much
natural beauty, what does one
say. or how Is It measured?
Miss Allle" as Mrs. William
son was known to all, loved
flowers, and grew more beau
tiful flowers tnan most anyone
I've ever known. Her vegetables
were second only to the flowers.
The beauty of tnese things she
grew, were not only In what she
produced, but In her sharing.
What greater gift Is there to
contribute.

I know that school has start
likes waiting anymore than I,
can't Imagine who it is, and
yet waiting at times can be
come delightful. Occasionally I
find an object that needs pho
tographing and I take it to Sam's
Drug in Rose HOI for Gene
Pierce to do. There, ] see more
old friends and just do the
loveliest visiting! On the latest
one of these visits I encount
ered Miss Katie Murray, and
we had lots of catching up to
do. She wanted to know about
Mrs. Davis Farrior, Mrs.Caro
line Gavin, Mrs. Sltterson, Mrs.
Perrv Dobson, and oh so many
people. So now I look forward
ed and I also know that the
calendar says It Is September,
but only did 1 realize that It
is truly fall when I saw the
beautiful gum tree just below
the Kenansvllle Elementary
School, Depending upon whlcn
way the light shines you see a
glorlus burst of deep red leaves,
or they may be purple, but they
are beautiful. The Sugar Maples
in Carol Murphy's yard are
beginning to turn yellow and
each day they are just a bit
nearer tne vivid orange that can
be found only on a Sugar Maple
tree. Fall Is truly my time of
year.

Warsaw Baptist Church
(from the files of the Duplin
Times-Progress Sentinel)
The growth of Warsaw Bap
tist Church for the past one
hundred years has been steady,
not speclutar. There Is no re
cord of arty splits in the his
tory and tne number of exclu
slons has been small.
The meetinghouse which serv
ed the charter members a cen
tury ago Is still serving, th
ough it was remodeled In 1907
and brick veneered in 1935. The
educational building was com
pleted In 1955.
Of the ministers who have
served the church all have made
a worthy contribution to the
history. The first pastor, Al
fred Guy, was a sort of a man
of the world before his call to
preach. He had unusual ability
in playing the fiddle and was
much in demand for the dances
of the day but when he decid
ed God wanted him to preach,
he set aside the fiddle, once
and for alL what he lacked
In education was compensated
by oratory abilities. William
Marshall Kennedy won distinc
tion as a leader in education
as well as a pastor.

sands of children return to
school in September, the dairy
processors of North Carolina
will launch a month-long cam
paign for child safety.
Tne campaign, known as Cru

sored by the North Carolina
Dairy Products Association.
UTCr UOUT YWHWtO, UC~
live ring Nature's most nearly
perfect food, will display bum
per strips reading, "CAUTION,
A CHILD IS NEAR."
Robert L. Burrage, Jr., of
Cabarrus Creamery Company,
Concord, and State Chairman of
the Crusade, noted that this
will mark die ninth consecutive
vear In which the Tar Heel
dairy processors hare spon
sored a September campaign
to protect children from traffic
hazards.
' The dairy processors of oin
state believe sincerely In pro
tecting our most valuable pos
session - our children," Bur
rage declared.
In addition to the bumper
stickers displayed by dairy pro
ducts vehicles, individual
dairy plants will conduct safety
programs for their employees,
emphasizing carefuldriving
habits and the need to reduce
the tragic death toll on our
streets and highways.
Burrage pointed out that dur
ing 1965, there were 134 chil
dren between the ages of one
and 14 killed on foot and on
bicycles on North Carolina
streets and highways.
"These losses are tragic and
many of them could have been
avoided," he declared. "Sep
SEPTEMBER 1.1966
The acreage-poundagetobac
co bill which the Congress en
acted rather hastily in time
for the 1965 selling season
has this year begun to make
Its full Impact felt and Its
severest critics must admit
that while It still has some
"bugs' which can and should
be worked out It is far superior
to acreage control along.
On the Border Market after
16 days of sale, the average
price stood at $68.63 per hun
dred as compared to $65.10
after 16 days of sale last year.
Much more Important Is the fact
that only 0.7% of the offerings
on the border after 16 days
Had Oeen taken under loan by
the Stabilization Corporation as
compared to 7.8% last year.
in addition It Is extremely
significant that as of'July 1,
1966, at the beginning of this
marketing season, the carry
over of flue-cured tobacco to
taled 2,439 million pounds be
low the previous year.
After the first five days sales
on the Eastern belt this year,
tied tobacco had averaged $70 J7
for the season, an all-time high
and only 0.9% had gone to sta
bilization as compared to 9.5%
a year ago.
I am greatly gratified with
i ifiii'sm ?t ii
.fc-r*.- and 4th and 5th verses
of Genesis, that "God divided
the light from the darkness,
and "God called the light Day
and, the darkness He called
Night."
The good Parson told the fel
lers he had been going along
with the Great Society the best
he could, but the Lord meant
fer it to be dark at night and
light in daytime and when they
git to messing with the Lord's
handiwork be was voting the
straight Republican ticket next
time.
Ed Doolittle was of the opin
ion them NASA folks wasn't
actual hoping to turn night into
day, that they was spending that
9250,000 to keep in style with a
heap of other Guvernment agen
cies. Fer instant, said Ed, he
had saw where a university
called Georgia Tech in Atlanta
had got a 18,967 grant to study
the tadpole.
Bug Hookum butted In to say
we got a heap of things to be
thankful fer, that it could have
been a grant to study the ele
phant and if a tadpole cost
98,987, the taxpayer would prob
able be hit fer about $200,000 on
a elephant deal.
All the fellers. Mister Editor,
was agreed with the good Par
son that the Great Society ain't
got no business messing with the
Book of Genesis. One of the fel
lers, and I ain't going to call
his name at this time, allowed
is how the Book of Genesis was
his favorite chapter in the Bible.
He said it was reported in Gene
sis that the Lord created the
sun, the moon, the earth, and
when He got everthing created
bat was needed, woman was
nreated last. And incidental,
Mister Editor, this feller owes
ne $5 and if he don't pay me I

battle-scarred married man,
said to me, "Yeah, now you

to some degree a sincere feel

love is allowed to die rather

a kindergarten in preparation
for all the years that follow
when genuine love is there.
Apparently Socrates did not
have such love in his home.
His marital difficulties are
fairly well known to students
of philosophy. Embittered by his

said, "By all means marry.

children do you have?" Remov

scratching his head he thought
it over Tor a moment, and
then replied: "Five - four liv

A similar sentiment again
was expressed by a poet whose
name I do not know. It goes
like this;
"Before I married Maggie

I was her pumpkin pie,
Her precious peach, her ho

The apple of her eye.
But after years of married

This thought I pause to utter.

DEAR MISTER EDITOR:
Zeki Grubb'i preacher come
by (he Jtore Saturday night and
mt with the fellers fer a spell
and he was a little upset over
certain matters.
He announced the Great So
ciety was working on a plan to
improve on the Bible and the
Lord's word and he aimed to git
a letter off to several of them
Congressmen as soon as they
got hack from their vacation
junkets and he could find 'em.
The good Parson reported
them NASA space fellers had
awarded $125,000 to the Boeing
aircraft company to study ways
of making the sun shine at night.
Farthermore, he said, they had
give Westinghouse another $125,
000 fer the same project to
make certain they git quick re
sults.
I don't understand these space
items, Mister Editor, but the
preacher was explaining they
planned to orbit a big satelight
to reflect the rays from the sun
on to the dark side of the
earth.
He said it was wrote very
plain in the Bible, in the first !
