Not i so many months age Ye Editor took the liberty of 4 . pointing out some of you apparent weak spots. H v Bricks were thrown at him and no doubt some of iy you will say that this editorial and the one last y - week were written in the apologetic vernaculer. But if you will search your memory you will re-' ! call that not so many years back, when Charlie . Baddour was sweating, yes, literally slaving to X- - strike a new spark that might point the way for ward, the Duplin Times that so and so Bob Grady, was right at Charlie's heels, plugging away on all your meetings, a regular member of your Ko- tary Club. He was giving liberally of his time and , free space in the Duplin Times to help Mr. Bad dour point the way to a new destiny for Warsaw. Today as we look around we see hew homes in Warsaw, several new streets paved, a new and .52. modern City Hall, the financial conditions of the , town in a much better shape. We see new indus i ' tries, small but going pn a sound footing; we see a reactivitated-Rotary Club, not just a small hand full who clung on when clinging seemed useless; we see a new Lion's Club, a federal Unit of the r.-q "7 j 1 national Guard; a very wide awake Junior Cham i ber of Commerce working vith a purpose and a l program, not just groping ab, out hoping some 1 1 , thing will turn up, a fairy god-mother so to speak rr.-t who would sweep Warsaw into an upsurging tide ' of a new prosperity; an up and iipming, Business and Professional Women's Club setting a pattern far tHemeiu The War brought a new tempojto the ' town, it Drougnx sacuon, now wun speeu; it S- manyJTOffdoriinsant factoriidden.
