"I have forgotten that once great
forests stretched, across this land.
In the abundance of these forests
the American Indians lived and
hunted, perhaps on the same land
where my school now stands."
"Once, my history book tells me,
a handful of courageous pioneers
dared to begin a colony on the tre
acherous shores of this state. Their
spirit was unconquerable, for in
their hearts was the desire to build
from the wilderness a place that
would bestow peace and plenty
upon their children. Yet I have
forgotten how important these de
sires were."
"I have forgotten the fateful
plight .of these brave few as they
faced the, unyielding land, the bit
ter famines, and the naked savages.
I have lost sight of the expressions
of hope and despair that shone on
the faces of those who watched for
sails on the horizon or the express
ions of joy and gladness on the
faces of those who welcomed the
first white child born in America."
"I have forgotten to be thankful
for the efforts of these few who
with such noble spirit first began
to build for me my state and my
nation."
"I believe Mr. Green's play, The
Lost Colony, will renew in me the
feeling of appreciation for such a
great heritage."

Goldsboro Writer Visits Camp
Tuscarora; Tells Own Observations
The following editorial appeared
in The Goldsboro News-Argus a few
days ago. Cafflp Tuscarora serves
Duplin County Boy Scouts.
The Story:
Have you seen the improvements
made at Camp Tuscarora? Scouts
who camped there during the sea
son just closed used them for the
first time.
If you have net you will be in
terested. The enlarged facilities enable
Tuscarora Council the better to ser
ve the Scouts in Wayne Duplin,
Johnston and Sampson counties.
A light, airy, clean, durable mess
hall has replaced the dark, and dir
ty old building which served for
so many years.
We didn't actually-count, but our
guess, is that the fine new dining
hail better call it that than a mess
hall wiir accomodate more than
100. .
Each place at table has its indi
vidual seat. They, are of metal and
jvill resist the most jubilant antics
of any live boy. There's plenty of
space for each diner. No more
crowding on a bench. You will re
call when the six or eight had to
line up at the bence and all pull
it forward at the same moment.
You will recall also the lack of
electricity. All that has been cor
rected. The big kitchen affords com
plete facilities for preparing food
under the most sanitary conditions.
Plenty of room and hot water. .
The big refrigerator is walk-ia size,
or just about it. Until the improve
ments were completed the facili
ties along this line were meager
Indeed.
A joy to the hearts of the Scouts
is the new potato-peeler. You drop
the potatoes into a hopper. They
roll down into another compart
ment in which, are a nuyiber of
abrasive wheels that take the skin
off potatoes as quick as you can
say Jack Robinson.
The machine hasn't been invent
ed yet that will cut out the eyes
of the potato. This still has to be
done by hand. Somebody though,
will get around to completely per
fecting the peeler in time.
.The potato peeler is one of the
things the Scouts will show you
first They will tell you with glee
ful voice that no longer does any
one have to go KP and peel pota
toes. 1
, Chuck Magoffin, inspecting the
peeler, recalled a man he once
knew. He said that this man could
locate the exact nerve center on the
neck of a chicken, the center that
governs the feathers. He coul slit
the throat at this point, bring his
arms down in a swoop from over
the head, and by the time the
movement was completed the chick
en would be completely minus its
feathers. Chuck made It sound very
simple. But we haven't seen any
one quite that good in dressing
chickens yet
- But . back to Camp Tuscarora,
more boats, life-rafts and canoes
were in place on the lake. Ground
around , the lake has been better
grubbed out and cleaned up. Tho
it was one of those sweltering days
when we were there, there was a
cooling breeze .from across the
lake that made one think of the
beach.
A cement foundation has been
placed In the Nelson Edwards
health lodge and generally the
camp has been spruced up the

Scouting is "c&tcbing on" more

Problems Of An Editor And
Fellows You Should Try Housekeeping
This may sound crazy to most
men. I know it will! But to most
women, I think they will say Amen!
I have arrived at the conclusion
that all husbands should have to
keep house a week or so, occasion
ally, and I mean by that, have every
thing to do that the average house
wife has to do.
When they have experienced
that job they should never com
plain at the housewife again when
the house is not in shipshape tirder
when they walk in.
My wife is slightly laid up; my
cook is on vacation; my daughter
is about 9 years old. So What? I

I'm thinking of plans for the day
when suddenly it dawns on me
that I have to prepare breakfast.
So - I forget the office and begin
to cook breakfast. I forgot my cook

Don't Cash Checks

of these checks are rebounding.
The person who cashed the check

Time comes to check up on the
laundry and I find all the clothes
are dirty. I put them in the automa
tic washer. The washer churns and
churns. It doesn't work out just
as I think it should. I run to the
wife and she explains what I should
have done. Well, I go back and do
it all over again. Finally the clothes
are washed and I hang them on the
line. While hanging them up my
daughter funs out with a camera
and takes a picture of me in the
act. (I'm not printing the picture).
So much for that. I still think
I should be working at the office

what to do. Looking at my watch
I discover its time to cook dinner.
