TheL "ma'i Tea Room in Kenansville, The 'following list of families have been enrolled In the .Better Farming For Better Living program up until this date. ..The Council members believe that a number of families other than those listed intend to enlist in this program. Any family wishing to enlist should send their name and address to Melvln Cord ing. Wallace, Jf. C, Chairman of Home Agen,t, or L; F. Weeks, Coun ty Agent, as soon as possible. '. Contestants: 1 r-. Mr. and Mrs. John R. Croom, Mr. . and "Mrs. Warren Bostic, Mr. and , Mrs. "Lewis Quinn.'and Mr ; and Mrs: S. E. Cavenaugh of Magnolia; Mr. and Mrs, B. F. Rlvenbark, and Mr. and Mrs. A. B--Lanler of Rose . Hill; Mr. and Mrs. Jack ' Sansono, Mr and Mrs. R. V. Phillips, Mr. and BOB GRADY A few days ago I heard an elderly -, religious man discussing the Ha- , uor problem with a group. He seemed sincere in what he vM saying, tie stated he had never t ' touched a drop. -He was pointing out that if those who abstain would - , do their ?art to stamp, the evil out . -it could be done. In the course of ,. his talk he stated that If his next '; aoor neignoor, w' seuing liquor '.he would report it -to officers and f-i -see. thy the man was properly ' punished. He remarked that .if - every-di-y weild 'report' incidents . .- he knew of kym&d soonHw Joue away wltll.iHerambled on In Ws talk and soon forgot 'his line of .ffgical reasoning. AS' bitter as lie is against it and after stating that ' 'he would do what he suggests for other people to do h" made this remark: "J am not going to stand ; :. by and do nothing" when I know the law is" being violated in my -' community, I am going to do rdn.e - ? thing. It the people in-other .neigh borhoods want to permit such a s' , condition it is their business,' not" mine." He. further stated that re cently he was asked to get some ' ' whiskey for a neighbor who re quired it as a .medicine.' He was J going to a neighboring' town that had ABC stores.'Jie took along a :; friend with him. When he-drove ii '.' up in front of the store, the friend " knowing he was so bitterly opposed ' to liquor suggested that he would . go in and get it. The pious old " gentleman said no, he would go. . And so he did. When he returned , i rto the car with the pint he remark d to his friend: "You know why I didnt let you go in? I was afraid If you did you would get two pints, ;rrone, for yourself." Further, along J In his talk he remarked that he did .', n't mind going into a saloon -with " friends. They could take their ( -cocktails but he would take orange . or lemonade. Yet, he said at the . outset, that If everyone was oo- ..r: posed to the" traffic wo,uld dp their part, it would soon be stamped out. . There, dear readers. Is the answer - to our liquor problem. His talk v . smelled of hypocracy to me; He was y-s -noxious to point out and hold up .; ' the sanctity - in' .himself' but in so v doing gave himself away. I 40 net ' ' question his purpose but I question his sincerity when time or action " comes. After; all, "Actions speak i . louder than words."' The ballat : cast for ABC stores is surely not -concealed - In ' hypocracy add te - ' ballot cast against ABC stores . should be just as far front hypou--, racy as the one cast for- ll. You cannot cast a ballot with one hand without the other knowing what - you are doing. It is your right and duty to . vote when the-: occasion arises but b honest with yourself, . your neighbor and. your, conscience , when you do. Let each voter vote . his honest convictions' and not be influenced by idle talk from others. That talk may be ..concealed; in words.

' about a depression, it is, one might call it, the gregarious instinct; once something gets started in talk, mob psychology reacts and Ilk a snow ball, rolling down a hill, it will getl bigger with every turn. It is normal every year at this season for busl - ness to slow down. Farmers are busy beginning crops and just do not have the time to shop as in other, seasons. In the strictly rural areas, like ,ours, no major crops are being marketed and naturally money is a little slower. But, look at bank UepoaUs. The money Is lying around instead of circula ting. Jl you buy from me 4 can buy from the other fellow. H you pay your bills, the other fellow can pay you. To keep business up and main tain prosperity, nwney must circu late. Hoarded money does no ore any-good, not even tjie person whe boards it. I heard Dr. S. Parks Cad- man, a noted preacher, lecturer and economist' say once: "If you spend your time making all the gold you can . -. . hang on to it . '. . it will still do you no good. When you die you can't take it With you and if you did it would iropably melt, One usually finds what he look! for. If we look, to- the future, look for prosperity and work towards that end -It will come. Not one person, can bring prosperity but all together can and will. . ; . ; ' I was" in Goldsboro one day this week and had several requests for tickets for The Duplin- Story". I was told that interest in our page ant in Goldsboro is very strong. , .' - .. Within one . week's . time there was' a murder; and at this writing possibly- two,, murders in Duplin.

Just what he based his pre diction on I don't know. But there seems to be a wave of hysteria of some kind, among North Carolin ians. You can - hardly pick' up a newspaper -without seeing a new accoimT of a murder. These reports are alarming and should bring about a reaction among the public. There is no excuse for murder. Are Our law too lax? Is the punishment meeted out too lenient? ; v- j ; , Easter Is approaching. The season we celebrate (la that the correct word to use here?) the ilea urre el ion of our Lord. He was murdered, yes, through , mob psychology, II was a martyr to a cause. Shouldn't we honor the Martyr and enjoy Easter in humbleness and thanks giving instead of celebrating- Cele brating through Easter Is going to result in many , murders. If not from a shot gun, from highway and other accidents.
