April 22 & 23
North Duplin Presents Hello Dolly
North Duplin High School
will present the musical,
"Hello, Dolly," April 22 and
23 in the school gymnasium
at 8 p.m. The drama is the
third annual production di
rected by the North Duplin
band instructor, Brian Hoxie.
"Hello, Dolly!" is based
on the story. Matchmaker by
Thornton Wilder. In the
musical, Dolly Levi is hired
by Horace Vandergelder to
find him a suitable wife.
Vandergelder is a well
known half-millionaire. Ac
cording to Hoxie, the pro
duction usually includes as
many as IS songs during the
two acts. The musical
comedy is sponsored by the
North Duplin Band Boosters
Club and the high school.
Starring in the lead roles of
Horace Vandergelder and
Dolly Levi are John Lewis
and Lynda Walker. John is a
junior at North Duplin and
has played the lead role in
both the previous drama
productions at the high
school. He is the son of Mr.
and Mrs. Bill Lewis of
Faison. Lynda is a junior at
North Duplin and has ap
peared in both dramas pro
duced at the high school by
Hoxie. She is the daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Deri Walker of
Route 2, Mount Olive. The
students at North Duplin
under the direction of Hoxie
have produced the musicals
"Oklahoma" and "Finian's
Rainbow."
"The play is educationally
worthwhile," Brian Hoxie
said. "It is the only thing we
have in the area of drama.
There are no drama classes
at North Duplin." The per
formance of "Oklahoma"
was seen by more than 900
people during the two-night
run. And, more than 600
people turned out for the
musical "Finian's Rain
bow." Seating capacity in
the gym for "Hello, Dolly!"
is estimated at about 300
people nightly, Hoxie said.
"There will be more than
50 people in the show,"
Hoxie said. "It is really a
school effort to put on the
production. The shop classes
build any complicated props
and set and the agriculture
classes help with the set."
Admission is tentatively set
at S3.50 for adults and $2.50
for students.
The cast also includes
Dannie Taylor, a senior, as
Cornelius Hackl, Jill Best, a
sophomore as Irene Mollory,
Phil Evans, a junior, as
Ambrose Kemper. Sarah
Best, a senior, as Ermen
garde, Angie Kennedy, a
senior, as Mini Faye, and
Rodney Wilson, a sophomore
as Barnaby.
Southern Pine Beetle
Few forest pests have got
ten the publicity in the South
in recent years that can rival
the "print" received by the
southern pine beetle. But,
according to Dennis
Knowles, Duplin County
forest ranger, this beetle
deserves all the attention it is
getting and more, because it
is the single most destructive
pest in the southern- forest.
Many forest landowners are
asking "Should 1 beat the
beetla to the punch by -har
vesting timber now before it
is wiped out? Is there some
thing 1 can do to lessen the
likelihood of beetle attack?"
Thanks to some important
forest research in recent
years, there are now answers
to these two questions. "The
first is answered by 'NO'.
The second by 'YES'
Knowles said.
Foresters now know that
the single most effective
prevention measure is to
keep timber stands healthy
and vigorous. Dense stands
containing many slow
growing and weak trees are
favorite targets of the hungry
beetle. "By carefully thin
ning out the smaller trees
until the remaining trees
have adequate space for
expansion of their crowns."
-explained Knowles, "the
possibility of a successful
attack by pine beetles will be
greatly reduced."
Trees that are growing
well usually have enough
flow of resin up and down the
trunk to "pitch out" any
beetles that could get
through the bark and enter
the tree. Weak trees are
more easily overwhelmed by
attacking beetles. Mature
and overmature trees seldom
respond to thinning and con
sideration should be given to
harvesting and replacing
them with younger trees.
Damage to the remaining
trees during logging should
be controlled as well, ac
cording to recent research
information. It also helps to
manage for good hardwood
species. These trees, not
bothered by the beetle, act as
a buffer against pine beetle
movement as it progresses
through an infested pine
stand.
Throughout the South, the
odds of anv property ex
periencing a southern pine
beetle attack are small.
However, by applying these
management practices, the
odds are greatly reduced in
favor of the forest land
owners.
"The key is to keep pine
stands well-managed and
growing so that the adage,
'an ounce of prevention is
worth a pound of cure' will
have an opportunity to be
fulfilled," Knowles added.
Additional information and
help in managing timber
stands to minimize the risk of
southern pine beetle attack is
available at NRCD-Forest
Resources and your local
N.C. Forest Service office.
