Carter's Column By—W. Donee Carter a mmmjm jmmmm < OYSTERS: We have been enjoying some mighty fine roasted oysters at Thomas's at Calabnsn again this season. The now place opened up last year and impressed us from the start with the service and the quality of the oysters. They seem to be doing well this season with the same fine food and service. YAMS: There is some interest in taking a section of South Carolina into the North Carolina Yam Association. In that the same type of yam growers are involved in the S. C. Pee Dee area as those here, we think it would be a fine move. It would broaden the scope of the source of Carolina yams as represented by the brokers of the association and would make any project of better seed, higher yields, increased quality affect a greater number of people. As we have said before, this next year is one of decision in the Carolina yam business. Yields must go up along with acreage. We must start using better seed. Generally, we must start work ing haruer at glowing more and better yams if the inlustry is to prosper. The fact that prices were good this year may help to some degree in getting the volume up next year. But that alone •will not solve the problems. Greater yields per acre is the real difference in yams being a tine economic asset or just a so-eo industry. SENClanJ: The second annual meeting of the Community Development phase of tiie South Eastern N. C. Development As sociation was held in Wilmington last Friduy night. Our own Sandy Plains community again won first place in Columbus coun ty for overall pi ogress during the year. This netted thetn a cheek for $100. Cut even 01 greater importance was the fact that in the entire seven county urea. Sandy Pi nns ranked se.end. This runner up position gave them a fin«, .w·; y for th( ir new com munity building. All «>.' Columbus can be proud of Sandy Plains The Bethel community was much in the running this year too with a second place award in the increased farm income bracket. Second place in seven counties with 52 communities competing is a noteworthy feat anytime. And then there was the White Marsh-Red Hill cummcr..tv in Columbus that took a first place in the seven coun: ies with a $100 check for doing the best j.>b in home beauuficalu n. All told, three communities from Columbus won itti/.es. There were only 13 awards for the entire seven counties. Six of those counties had ten awards to split ann"i< them. Columbus had three for herself. But so did Duplin county. Next year we want to sec some Columbus community take the first ; rize !■ r doing the most outstanding oveiall develop ment. Second place was fine but we need a first next year in this overall judging. RECIPES: Local Presbyterians Iv ve .oiv.piied a iccipe t·«.:» let with a huge number of fine looking recipes by women of Tabor City. We don't know just how much : tie booklet is going to sell for but it was a fine project that required a s;reat deal o! effort and seems worthy of enthusiastic reception. It sure has the ways and means of preparing many a tasty di.'h. TOBACCO: With the official word that our flue-cured to bacco acreage next year will be about the same as this year, smiles have been more in evidence on the faces of businessmen and farmers. And speaking of tobac.o. reports :n up the mountains where a number of fine Tabor City folks are associat ed with the burley leaf sales, say that prices are sk> high for that dark looking stuff that would never m.tke the auction mark et as flue cured leaf. Some sales of burley are averaging as much as S66 for a whole market. REPEAT We have said this previously ir. this column but it is worth repeating. Let's keep our Christmas shopping at home this year. What helps ycut local merchants helps you and when ever possible, every dollar spent should be spent as close to home as practical. Most gift items can be found in Tab..r City and without the added expense of driving a hundred miles or more. The local pri.es should be competative and we believe that everybody gains when local folks shop locally. Γ WE POUR & FINISH ANY SIZE CONCRETE JOB Contact Us Before You Buy!

Mar* S. 1M7 (Editorials . . · FACE UP TO THE FACTS Columbus County citizens are well known for their ability to "face up to the facts" anil do something about their problems. Next week, December 13 through December 20, will be "Columbus County Band Week" and this will be an appeal to citizens to contribute to the baud uniform tund drive. Several times mis year the band received invitations to attend collegi ate football homecoming games. This is regarded throughout the stale as an honor but for Columbus County Bandmaster Bob iiodges α was a problem. While he wauled the youngs ters lo enjoy one of the highlights that conies with playing in a band recognized by outsiders he declined ι he invitations. "1 was ashamed for the band to appear in such shabby uniforms," said Hodges in offering a reason for declining the invitations. We must agree with the dedicated bandmaster. Columbus County's pres tige would rot have been enhanced by the appearance oi tlie band along with well clothed bands from other schools such as Charlotte, \» instou >aleni. lii'eelisooro or owicr ι nies.

Alany times the project looked as il doomed to failure but the strung faith contained by Peacock helped to hurdle the obstacles and move a step iuriher toward reality. There were times when Boys Home would have been gladly accepted by communities in other parts of the suae. But Peacock was devoted to the cause and to his home county of Co vinous. I'robatily his struggle would have been alleviated had the Home ι een located elsewhere but nothing woulu budge tue man dedicated to me cause. someday Hoys llome will be a glow lag succe s .n a u« rid lnled v. nil tur iiiuil and i.< , .cctod you.igsters. if it sum ο but one buy it will have been worth the et't'o.* exerted b> l'eacock ii.u! othe.s w :ιυ \.or«ved so uiligently 10 niakv it a success.

TABOR CITY, N. C. PIAIN TALK HE UNDERSTOOD You have to be in the newspaper business to appre ciate the trials and tribulations of those who peck a typewriter and sell advertising for their livelihood. Kenton Miller, the young Presbyterian pastor at Paw ley's Island who drowned just recently, served as editor of the Loris Sentinel for a streteh back when 1 first moved to Tabor City. Our most fiv^uiuit visits came on press da\ for the Sentinel when i-enWii came to the shop with last minute copy for ads as well as news He never complained nor e\idenccd any signs of bitterness. Vet. in hi. hriei Uli· he experienced a few moments that would have made many persons quite bitter. If ever he had bitterness in his heart of past events he concealed it with his thoughtfulness, under standing and gentleness. His contribution to Loris in the < ·.' ι Μι· activities was great. Iiis eagiriie:·» '. :» ο for uti could easily be reflected through participation in civic work. It's difficult for me to si; hi :v and write ;.i)out Kenton's tremendously fine trait.: t'.u· lensou i. is I difficult is that 1 never too'.,, time to pay him these ι compliments while he was alive. That's when they > would have had real meaning to someone. WAY TO THE HEART The in.·!i was listing some of the qualities "fte sought when thinking about people as friends. Then he summed it up as best anyone could — "Aly friends are those people who like my child." A DP.EA&I COME TRUE — Almost! A. I). Peacock will return to the funeral business tin last day of this year. He has been the motivating [ Personality in the conception and birth of Boys Home ( ot North Carolina at Lake Waccamaw. Peacock had far more faith in his project th*n ' one can imagine. His personal tri imphs have bc^n I few regarding Boys Home l>ut even in ihe face of J bitter opposition he stood his ground to make Boys 1 home a reality. It "From thi* start 1 never had any doubt that it was G< d's will and that it would be done,** said Peacock about Boys Home. And the life that was breathed into Boys Home was no more than a faith stronger than the obstacles thai stood in the way of getting it founded and moving I in the direction of progress. 1 While Peacock will devote full time to his funeral ι business he will continue to help promote Boys Home. Had Peacock been a man of little faith there would t be no Boys Home. THE WAY OF LIFE 1 had u friend from a family of only average finances. They «crimped, borrowed and did without to i afford the boy's education. Today he is a high salaried j official in the company he joined after graduation from college. Hut he doesn't associate with his pa reins anymore — they are not in his same social, financial or educational class! And they all live in the same city. FROM OUT OF THE BLUE He was a preacher. His living code was simple— do what you know is right. Out of a clear blue sky one day he walked up and said, "Al, we love you and your family." How far would you walk for a friend like that? THE KIDS WILL LOVE IT Parents should take advantage of the offer made by Prince Motor Company. Go by and select the letter you woui.I like for your child to receive from Santa Claus and he will get it before Christmas mailed direct from Santa Claus, Indiana. What finer treat could a youngster receive with his heart so set on being good for the old gent in the I white beard and shopworn red suit? HERE COMES ANOTHER BAPTIST Longtime friends of ours in Asheboro have a ra her precocious daughter who announced one even ing that she was no longer admitting belonging to the Ι%ί . icipal Church. Her parents, naturally upset, asked for reasons. "Well, when the teacher asks each year what c!.;:rch 1 belong to 1 always says 'Episcopal' but none o!' the kids know what it is so from now on I'm going to tell 'em i'm a Baptist," she replied. „ 1 asked my Cindy why she acted so ugly to the lady who did her best to ignore her. "She ugly to me — she pinch me — I bite h» r," said Cindy in true form. · Ever notice how the folks»who do the talking sel dom do the pulling —out of their pocketbooks!
