FAISOII SECTION
lo The People Of Faison And Community
It is i p'taiure that the Du
plin Times, this' week, fceglns a
''Faison seetlon la the paper. We
hope .that; from; week to week the
Faison" section will make up at least
four pages and more if possible.
First thought, in planning to give
you newspaper was to publish a
separate paper for this seetlon but
'- after thinking it over and discuss-
ing it with several of. your leaders
, 'It was decided that the paper would
'serve the section best by being a
, ipart of the Tunes, your county news
paper, than in a paper by itself. You
not only want to read about what
you do yourself but you want to
tell the rest of the county about it
also.. Your ' 'merchants; want their
message td go our over the county
and attract . new customers from
other communities.
'. This week many of the Faison
merchants ' have ' responded -; with
their ads. Most of these will, run
throughout the monthh of Marchh.
We want to remind you, however,
- that the faison section must carry
itself, from a financial angle. It
cannot depend on the other com
munities in the county to supply
enough advertising to support it.
As .all you readers know a news
paper cannot exist without adver
Using, and y the same token, a
merchant cannot exist without
business. You . support your mer
chant and he Is able to advertise.

Sesame Club
The Sesame Club, under the lead
ership of Mrs. W. R. Clifton, presi
dent, has had a year filled with ac
complishments. As soon as the 11th
district entertainments were over
the club , sponsored a Cooking
School , put on by Tide Water Pow
er. Co., since electric power lines
have been erected in surrounding
rural areas, It was felt such a school
would be worthwhile. This under
taking enriched the club treasury
by $109.50 and proved to be of in
terest and benefit to many women.
In the interest of the March of
Dimes, the club sponsored a basket
ball game and sold candy and cold
drinks at same. It also sponsored
a motion picture for this cause.

husband.

Work Proggressing On Improved Water
And Sewage System For Faison
Work is progressing on the im
proved water filteration plant and
sewage disposal system for the
town of Faison. Contract for the
project was awarded to the Gibson
Construction Company of Newton,
to do the work and construct the
building and the Permutit Co. of
New York, to furnish the filtering
equipment for the water supply.
On May 3, 1949, the town held a
bond election for $30,000 for the
purpose of improving its water sup
ply and sewage disposal system.
Also to increase the number of fire
hydrants by laying 6 inch lines to
parts of town that have been sei
ved by small lines. The citizens vo
ted for these much needed improve
ments by a large majority.
Heretofore the town's water sup
ply has contained iron, magnesium
and other minerals in large quan
tities, making it unpalatable and
unfit for laundry use. After install
ation of the filter system the town
is assured of water free from these
minerals and of the same quality
as that used in larger towns and
cities.
The treatment plant will be lo
cated on the west side of town in
a new brick building. This plant
will have a maximum capacity of
28.000 gallons of filtered water per
day. It will also be equipped with
a chlorination unit which will as
sure the people of pure water at
all times.
On Feb. 5, during the morning
fiprulp Mr Jaqca Clrln WAft nr.
dained and installed Elder, and his
son, Mr. Paul Grk-e, was ordained
and installed Deacon in the Pres- .
byierian Church in Calypso. Hav
ing been elected at a congregational
meeting in January, and examined
as to their beliefs and knowledge
of the duties of the offices to which
elected by the Session at a regular
meeting, they were ordained by
the 'laying on of hands" and pray
er. Rev. Murphy Smjth, pastor, read
the qualifications and duties of
each office as recorded in the Book
of Church Order before the con
gregation and newly elected offi
cers. Then the two officers were
conducted to the front of the
church by the Elders after which
the pastor propounded the consti
tutional questions to them and to
the congregation. All questions
having been answered in the affir
mative, the officers-elect knelt
while the Elders placed their right
hands on their heads, and the pastor
lead in a prayer setting them apart
i to the office to which they had
been elected. The pastor then de
clared the two men duly elected,
ordained, and installed in the office
to which each had been called. Fol
lowing the service the congregation
extended to them the "right hand
of fellowship."
Mr. Jesse Grice was elected to
replace Mr. Jim Cameron, recently
deceased. Mr. Paul Grice was el
ected to replace Mr. Ed Lewis
whose term of office, under the
rotation plan, had expired.
Other Elders of the Church are:
H. B. Kornegay. Albert Martin,
Straus Davis. J. R. Maxwell, Ad
rian Dail, James Strickland, and
Leon Flowers, clerk. The Deacons
are Needham Sloan, Charlie Sloan,
John Strickland, Jr., M. J. Lam
bert, Jr., and William Roberts, Jr.,
church-treasurer.
The additional fire hydrants will
be placed in previously unprotect
ed areas affording all citizens of
fire protection at all times.
The planned improvements to
the sewage system will prevent the
dumping of raw sewage into our
local streams, as has been the case
in the past, due to the inefficiency
