There are signs of it. Dr. Deane Hundley of Wallace appeared- before the Board of Com missioners Monday in behalf of such an institution. He suggested that a small institution be planned with the idea of expansion as it became necessary. The Board lis tened with open ears. The result of their discussion was that the physical structure should come from private construction and a tax rate levied to take care of the op erating expenses. This has been my contention all along. And each member of the board pledged $500 that's $2500 on the start. Duplin has a famous son In Dur ham who is very wealthy and in cidentally, is interested in hospi tals. Wouldn't it be nice to have a "John Sprunt Hospital" in Ke nansville?

Armistice Days I Remember - By ELLA B. WOMACK WARSAW. N. C. November 11, 1947 will make thelstice Day celebration in Warsaw, enjoyed getting up wnn we aawo of day to watch the hundreds of people arrive in buggies, carts, wa gons and cars. They came early and stayed late. No disorderly conduct ever mar red the day, and there were thous ands of visitors here who came from far and near to celebrate the day and to greet friends and renew lifelong friendships. For years barbecue dinners for the veterans were a feature of the occasion and attractive floats rem inscent of the World War and the War Between The States were en tered in the parade from Kenans ville, Faison, Calypso. Magnolia ana the schools and organizations f Warsaw. The Chas. R. Gavin Post of the American Legion in War saw extends a cordial Invita tion to all Legion Posts to come to Warsaw ' November lltlu, and Join the parade. Come on boys- and . wear your ninform. We have some good entertainment for yon. Our Soldiers Are Coming Home TaResf . Every soldier who died in the service of his country and is now resting in the far-flung battlefield cemeteries of the world was the be loved son, husband, brother or sweetheart of some woman. Had the war lasted longer there would be many', more homes where sorrow and a memory and a Purple Heart are poignant reminders of a great sacrifice. .Those who did not re turn made it possible for you to continue " the traditional freed oms of democracy. ? ; : A soldier's idea of a most fitting location for his final resting place is a grave near the scene of his rendezvous with death. But, since tte bp'.r.i$ of t'w. the liviis 28th celebration of Armistice Day in Warsaw. In all that time not one day has been marred by rain. Sometimes clouds haved hooved menancingly overhead but always the day ended without rain. Pre dominantly the sun has shone and the sky with its sun, moon and stars has added its contribution to making it a wonderful day. Years ago, the writer of this ar ticle who has never missed an Arm- ously with flowers of memory. Therefore, the valiant dead are coming home! They run coming back as heroes to satisfy that age old longing of mankind. And the long trip from battle-graves to homeland they will be horn red with all the pomp and glory and cere mony of returning military heroes. There Will be no hostil-j bombing planes to harass the gallant corteg? from graves to foreign ports of em barkation; but the victorious planes of fellow Americans will dip wings in a grand salute to their courage and valor. There will be no U-Boat wolf packs to force a zig-zag journey in 1 convoy across the salty seas. In stead, the hero laden boats will have escorts of warships flying honoring flags and pennants for God and man to judge the measure Of the Navy's tribute to our dead. When the ships arrive in Ameri can ports, there will be soldiers waiting to escort each and every casket to its final resting place The finest officers and enlisted men of the United States Army will be selected for this tribute to our dead Your Regular Army will furnish many hundreds of officers and en listed men for escort duty and fir ing squads. They will travel to home towns in every nook and cranny of these United States. They will do their utmost to make the occa sion of any contact with the kin of these heroes a memory to treas ure through life. In the eyes and hearts of mothers - of wives, sisters, brothers, and fathers - they will be the soldiers their boys might have been. , . ; ' ; Memories never die! And memo ries are all that many men and women must cherish through the 1 1- - r. v, f"-f!l1. : '' This versatility, which is found in only a few musical organizations, probably accounts for the orches tra's recent surge in popularity. Archer's group, which is comprised of nine men pnd a girl has shattered attendance records at such top spots as the Cavalier Beach Club at ! Virginia Beach, and was held over by popular demand for fourteen consecutive weeks at Myrtle Beach's fashionable Ocean Forest HoteL Featured vocalist with the band is Mary Stevens, beautiful brunette, who was named-Miss Rhode Island of 1945. Maty besides copping several beauty eesrtest honors, has been widely acclaimed as one of the .roiulsing young vocalists in the dance orchestra business. Her beauty and talented voice never fail to hold any audience In rap tured silence. Following the parade, nany no table speakers have added much to the day's events. At one time a Ford cjr was given to the one holding the lucky num ber for admission to the ? fternoim ball game. Another feature which has ad ded much to the occasion is the carnival, which has been a joy and delight to the children and which has always been ciean and enjoyable to both young and old. Each Armistice Day has ended with a dance, with a good band furnishing the music. For years it was held in the Faison Ware house, the center of which was elaborately decorated for the oc casion and where hundreds of peo pie enjoyed the rhythm of good music. Booths with interesting exhib its by the county schools and, a number of prominent business firms, were placed around three sides of the building and attracted many sightseers. No admission was charged except to the gentlemen dancing. : A : carnival spirit .has always marked the day yet deep down in the hearts of the people was a feel ing of .gratitude for peace after war and for America's freedom and "America The BeauttfuL" : i ... :v:v. - - ' $J We like his f enow. The writer has, all his life, been accused of liking to talk. So when G. S. and I get together there is something going on -. Mr. Best took over as manager of the Quinn-McGowan Co., in Warsaw after the tragic death of the late Mr. "Jack" Quinn. G. S. ha not only carried on the business but . has expanded considerably They nbw have a store in Beula vilie. The Duplin Burial Associa tion, a baby of the company, has offices in Jacksonville and Bur gaw. G. S. not only likes the furniture business, but he is a successful farmer as well.

They'. .-:im.i ii gamnwwwwswwii WALTER BRIDGERS Popular Postmaster in Warsaw. It is said, especially in Duplin, that the Postmaster is the laziest man in the. county. Knowing Wal ter, "Les" Williams in Kenansville. and "Bogue" Johnson in Wallace, who had to' give it up, sometimes we wonder. However. Walter is a very effi cient postmaster and doint a swell job Warsaw's 2nd class post or flee. It is hoped the new Federal Post Office Building will get un der way soon. Walter has a very efficient staff to help him. Speak ins of laziness. I'm rem'nded of the story of the late Sheriff and Postmaster Bob Edwards :n Golds boro. Not so very long after he took over as Postmaster a friend approached him in a drug store and said, "I thought you were sup posed to be at work," whereupon Mr. Edwards replied, "When I ac cepted this job I was hot told that there was any work connected with It, J. R. G. ..--", Ar"' '"i hr"f r A. BROOKS . Know him folks? Is there tny- one in Duplin County who doesnt know him? . Mr. Brooks, owner of Brooks - Department Store in Warsaw, and a close friend of the writer, is of . highest Jewish extraction. He was born in Lithuania 56 years ago. In 1910 he came to the U. S. at the - suggestion of relatives in Rowland,;: N, C, He landed in New York, re- r, m'alned there a few davs and pro ceeded on to Rowland. In 1913 he -: and his partner Mr. Margolis open-, ed Margolis and Brooks Dept Store I in Warsaw. Some few lears later Mr. Brooks bought out the Mar golis interests and became sole owner. , He married the former Mary Ellis of Bolton, Miss, who has been his steady standby since. They have three children: Mrs. Harry Stein of Fayetteville, Mrs. Marshall ' Solomon of Richmond, and Sidney, his son who is now the. understudy in the business. Mr. Brooks is a Rotarian, a Ma- - son and contributes generously to any worthy cause. He is reserved and dignified, yet is very liberal minded. He is loyal to his Jewish faith yet at times he will attend the Christian churches of Warsaw A. Brooks can unquestionably be called one of Warsaw's ."first citi zens." J. R.

Holland was arrested Monday af ternoon when he was reportedly molesting a Goldsboro saleswoman at Vets' Service Station.
