First off, let me correct sn error I made last week. The
redecorating being done in the out-patient surgery area of
Duplin Genera) Hospital is being done by Maggie Ammar,
Dr. M.I. Ammar's wife. She and Tonda Watson are
hanging wallpaper into the wee hours of the morning.
They now have one room completed and are working on
another. Dr. Ammar is the OB/GYN at Duplin General ?
the only OB/GYN in Duplin County. I understand he and
the OB/GYN doctor at Sampson Memorial Hospital in
Ginton will be on stand-by for one another in the very near
t future so each can have a little time off. . .Now, back to the 1
decorating. . .These ladies are not being hired by anyone.
They are not being paid by anyone. They have gone out on
their own to create a more pleasing surrounding in one
area at Duplin General Hospital. . .They, of course, had to
receive permission from the hospital before beginning
{ their adventure to create a better-looking place to recover
from the unpleasantnesses of necessary surgery. Once
again, let me say, 1 really think it is great when people go
out and do things for the betterment of other people with
no reward for themselves excepting the pleasure of
helping others...

This new law passed by the legislators that no longer
will allow an informant to remain anonymous will, with
little doubt, set law enforcement agencies back for awhile.
. .Fact is, most crimes solved today are the direct result of
someone telling on someone else. . .It is not the tact
finding,clue-finding routine assumed by many. . .It is one
telling on another for various reasons. Most often the one
doing the telling does not want the fact known he or she is
telling. . .So, it seems politics got in the way of crime
solving once again. . .This one sleight-of-hand law change
could really be a benefit to the drug trade. . .It really
makes one wonder about the legislators, especially when
most of those in the Legislature are lawyers by trade. ..

1 understand there may be a 70-year-old grandma in
Beulaville wearing a "bandaid bikini" before long. Seems
a grandson had a bet with his grandma about his folks
building a swimming pool, and it appears the grandson
may have won. . .This young man seems to be very
ingenious as well as a good salesman. . .1 wonder if he is
selling tickets to see Grandma take the first plunge in the
pool while wearing her bikini....

the counties of North Carolina to increase the sales tax in
individual counties by half a cent. This can take place by
two methods. The county commissioners can pass the
increase, or it can be put on a ballot and voted on by the
people of the county. Duplin County Board of Com
missioners indicated their interest in this half-cent tax this
past Monday, and will, in the near future, set up a hearing
for the public to have a say in the matter. The
commissioners indicated their interest would be in money
for school buildings ? both maintenance and new
buildings. . .In my opinion, the fact that the com
missioners can pass this additional sales tax does not mean
that they have to do it. If, in the interest of schools, the
half-cent is added, then perhaps an amendment is needed
to clearly state the money is to be used for buildings only
and if the administration unit is increased other than by
state funding, the sales tax would be null and void and
uncollectible... As I see it. this is one of the problems with
education today. There are too many chiefs and these
chiefs have secretaries and some of the secretaries have
secretaries. . .It is a dangerous thing to have a chief with
nothing to do, for that chief will create enough
unnecessary paperwork to keep another secretary busy. .
..Most of the time this unnecessary paperwork is there to
try to justify the position its creator is holding...
Donald and Ruth Buckner saved and skrimped for years
and finally put their dream vacation together ? a trip to
the West Coast. While out there and in a Mexican
bordertown, they were browsing in the novelty and gift
shops. They stopped in this glass and crystal shop. Ruth
went on in. Donald, thinking he might be a little clumsy
and break something, immediately folded his arms on his
chest so anyone looking at him would well know he was
touching nothing. He stayed in the area near the door.
Suddenly he heard this glass falling and breaking ? not
just one piece but several. . .He backed to the doorway to
make sure he was not involved in this breakage, thinking
"Oh my gosh, what has Ruth done!". . . Ihe breakage
continued, sounding like a bull in a china shop. . .The
Mexicans began talking in their native language to confuse
the situation even more.. . .Finally someone said "It's an
earthquake.". . .Now Donald grabbed Ruth by the arm
and started out ? then thinking maybe inside was best.
Before any tough decision had to be made, though, the
tremor ended. . .Hands in pockets, they walked away
trying to whistle. . .Donald thought he had spent all his
vacation money in that glass shop for broken glass for a
split second. . .Of course. Ruth figured Donald had fallen
and knocked all the glass down. . .1 guess they were
relieved to find out it was just an earthquake. . .
