Wit KENANSVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA lip I get kidded all around about my telephoning and last week .it-re comes John Sikes in his column, "DRIVE IN" 'a free ad for the Wallace merchants) ribbing me in the press. Well, all I have to say is there are three advantages, viz: You Contact more people in a giv en amount of time; you enjoy talk ing to our friendly operators; an you find out what time people go to bed. I've just been reading Winston Churchill's "Memoirs" in last week's Life Magazine (and it's now 10:30). Every person in this county and this country should read it. The new war hysteria has ui all stin-ed up. Maybe I sho-iidn't say this, but maybe we hav.: too nuch press. We aren't going to war with Russia, not in the nsxt few years. Read your history. The atomic .bomb has people scarei to death, so did gas aftir the first Woiid War. No gas was used in the last war. The fellow across the water is human, just as we are, however, sometimes it seems hart to lielicve-tlie columinsts and Joh: L. Lewis are human. I'm so-ta in a sentimental moo tonight. There is a fellow in Pin Hill by the name of C. B. Ha; worth - one of these days I'm g ing to run his picture if you reat.. ers don't faint. Mr. and I.Irs. Hr:--worth ar. troupers of the o.J school. I remember seeing the on the stage when in high ch' I'm sorta in a sentimental moJ tonight. There is a fellow in Pir.k Hill by the name of C. B. Hay worth '- one of these days I'm g ) ing to run his picture if you read ers don't faint. Mr. and Mrs. Hay worth are troupers of the old school, i remember seeing then on i.ie ttage when in high school m d colljge. They are not afraid to '.ake a leap. They came to Pink Hill with .a te;it picture show." The tnt blew dovvr., so, "Scj Bee'' r-'mr'y set up an out door iii.ito ' tiatre where you just drive in sit in your car and see the show. I like a fellow who is Willi if, to take a chance in-a community he believes in. Mr. and Mrs. Hayworth really love Pink Hill and the town and neighbors are backing them IP- It's a sin to have to sit up unti' midnight to hear some good mu sic over the radio. But on my ri dio it seems that soap box opera: take the stage until about mid night. I love music, so no wondi I don't get u until 8 o'clock. To The Voters of Duplin: We fought World War 1 and I" for the privilege of our rights t vote for whom we please.. W'j wou both wars, therefore we retained those rights. No one has the priv ilege of questioning who his neigh bor-votes for. Self-preservation" is the firs law of natur and for our interests, I urge all of our readers to vce for Charley Johnson.
