A SUGGESTION LADIES
. ; Now that we are assured of th'.
success ol the "Story of Duplla"
to be presented in an amphitheatre
here September 22, 23, and 24,
isn't It time to begin talking and
making plans to clean up, paint up,
beautify our homes, yards and buf
streets? From all indications we
may expect visitors from all parti
of tint State and other States. Thou
iuii rainfl to throng here.
a ii wniB nuhilcitv urogram has
not yet gotten underway but will
t the proper time. Tickets are on

joining oountles are anxious to put
them on sale.

town the women can be depended
upon. The men folks win see uiai
the work is done if you will get
together and decide what yoto want
done. It will take a long time to
"work it out. I would suggest that
the women of each town and com
munity get together and work out
a program uat will reach into ev
ery corner and nook of the county
Lefs show our visitors that we
have one of the most attractive
counties in Eastern North Carolina.
The point of '"The Duplin Story" is
to show our past, ine juu ui u.
now is tn show our present and
future. There's no question but
what picture and stories from Du
plin are going to appear in national
magazines throughout the country
before the pageant takes place.
Bill Sharpe. of the N. C. State News
Bureau, whose Job it is to get
these pictures and stories around,
bos already shown deep Interest
In our pageant and wants to come
down and give the pageant and
our County a good publicity stunt.
You folks who know old histori
cal homes that are outstanding in
attractiveness or history, nature
sites that are unusually attractive,
write Gilbert Alphin, Kenansvillc,
President of the Duplin County
Historical Association, and tell him
..bout them. La's all pull together
for Duplin, great today and still
Sunday a prominent citizen in
n AHisiinina county made this re-
mark- "You folks in Duplin sure
mu pull together. Your towns
have the community spirit and the
county as a whole has the rignt
county spirit. If U counties in
Sajtern North Carolina had the
spirit you folks in Duplin have, in
a few yeass the eastern part of the
State would be attracting tourists,
visitors, and industry like the wes
tern part.
Wilmington has produced some
thing with its Azalea Gardens. M
alefts will grow in Duplin. Roanoke
Island has produced something with
i. -trf Cninnv": New Born pro
duced something when it began to
play up its historical land marks.
Mlcr 200 years it seems to me
that Duplin can produce something,
and maybe we have if we'll jut
put our shoulders to the wheel o
generate steam and go forward.
