He spoke at the dedication of the new post heme of the Wlllard : Smith Post No; 9514 of the Veterans of Foreign Wars there. In dedicat ing the building Senator Graham cried out for a rededlcation of r America, to put all its great re . sponslbilities by an enlistment In 1 'stand against the Inevitability of World War III. Dr. Paul F. Whltaker of Kins ton, presented the speaker. The Willard Smith Post was chartered June 23, 1947 with 30 charter members. It now has 67 members. The new post home will be put to use. as a community cen ter as well as a home for the VFW. It is named in honor of Wlllard Smith, Son of Mr. and Mrs. Jones Smith of Pink H1U, who was killed in action In the Pacific, July 18, 1944. "Wlllard Smith," Senator Gra ham said, "and all those thousands of others whose name Wlllard Smith represents, died fighting for America and he must not be for gotten. We , cannot commemorate this building without a re-dedication to noble efforts toward peace." Beginning with the Revolutionary War and wending his way to the Civly War, the Spanish-American War, World War I and World War II, Senator Graham found in each , battle the same strength of pur pose in all those who laid-down their lives that others might enjoy ; the fruits of freedom. Wlllard Smith, he said, did not die "to see us. throw away another chance for peace as we did after World War I.. We must strengthen the UJf, not abandon It and through it find :.

It has been found that the voters who do not vote, are really the ones who often decide primary elections and who frequently de cide general elections. What is more, it has also been discovered through careful research that church members are notoriously addicted to the sin of staying away from the polls. In proof of this statement, I refer to the re port of the survey by Mr. John P. Guyer, Research Director for the Citizens Morale Survey, of the State of Pennsylvania. The report Indicates that over one-fourth' of the registered voters in that State, on the average, did not vote in elections held from 1930 to 1946; that 70 of the stayaways were women, and 88 were church members. Don't misread this state ment! It does not say that 88 of the churchmembers did not vote, but that 88 who did stay away were church members. We know very well that too many church people stay away from the polls. The voting situation in Pennsyl vania Is very true in other states, and It also is true in North Caro lina and Duplin County. The bald and shocking truth is that there are not enough patriotic Christian voters in this country t stop licensed wrong doing and Inefficiency In governmentWheth er you like it or not, you are in "politics". You may say that pon tics Is not your game, but you are wrong. It is very much your game and if you are a stayaway, you are letting someone else take your CONTINUED ON BACK PAGE sees.

The rain and tobacco plants have attracted ail the attention. Most signiflcent on the" -political scene was the with' drawing of Aldine Whitfield from the race for member of the Board f Education. This leaves Jerry O. Smith winning the nomination by default. Last week Mitchel Britt withdrew in the race for House of Representatives leaving Aobert Carr alone in the field. In the United State Senate race the advocates of Willis Smith have been somewhat in the limelight, though working not too heavy. The Frank Graham talk began to take on a little more Impetus after Dr. Frank's appearance in Pink Hill last Saturday and no doubt will gain new momentum when he ap pears in Wallace today (Thursday as we write). Campaign spearheads- man Vance Gavin is sporting a Graham banner on his auto while Smith's manager Robert West in Warsaw is adorning his car with Smiths pictures! It is strikingly noticeable that Smith's pictures are seen., along the highways of the county. It is reported that Senator Graham refused to allow his picture be posted along the roads. The Sheriffs race is attracting the most talk in general, other races taking a back seat. Reports from Albertson, Smith, Glisson, Wolfe scrape indicate that the contestants for county commissioners Preston Wells and LeRoy Simmons are fighting hard in their race. On the whole one might say politics are noticeably quiet in Du plin but new impetus is expected to get ' things going in a short time now.

CORRECTION This week's ad of Faison Depart ment store reads In some of the issues (before we caught the error) "Felt Hats, Special For 100." This of course was an error made in the printing office and meant $1.00. Although it was an error not too much injustice was done Mr. Sut ton, proprietor of Faison Depart ment Store, because It showed that the Duplin Times force are in the habit of finding top quality mer chandise at the store. Turn off appliances before pull ing the plug to prevent arcing at the prongs of the plug, thus pre venting a possible short circuit.
