Dear Mr. Barton:
I wish you luck and success
in attaining your goals for the
coming years in the news pa
per business. I will be keeniCg
an eye on the hometown

your quota pertaining to sub

ganizations, which you so
generously keep before the
eye of the public, to channel
some of their effort toward
reaching new subscribers,
then your job would be made
much easier

As one of your distant
subscribers, the past histori
cal accounts and pictures out
of Robeson County's citizenrv
arc well received. Getting more
people involved in digging out
more of the local past history,
and publishing would be a
great service in my opinion. I
was especially glad to see a
1934 school class picture
published in a recent March
edition of the CIV. After
reading the names of two of
my older brothers as mem
bers of that 1934 sixth grade
class, all 1 had to do was
adjust my tri-focals and pick
both of them out. They were
the runts of the class, and 1
didn't know?a picture of them
at that age was in existence. I
have heard my mama say that
they were treated like twins in
their early age, and the
picture shows them dressed in
similar outfits. The younger
one was ten years of age in
1934. and in the sixth grade.
My parents started them in
school the same year so they
could look out for one another
walking back and forth to
school.
1 have enclosed another one
of my "Growing Up in
Robeson County" articles you
may want to include in a
future edition of the CIV.
