r - i 7 ION' , . o 'ALOOKIII'UP Br A. M. DAVIS In my rambling around to find Interesting people and some acti vities to discuss in this column, I feel that I have been rather delin quent in falling to mention some of our neighbors over in the edge of Sampson County and their splen did clubs. We, in Faison, hear very little about them unless we inquire concerning them and most of the time we are so wrapped up with our own activities that we do not bother to do so. Most of the members of these ' clubs consider Faison their home here and are generally considered by us a part of our community, yet we who live in the village know very little about their social, church and school activities unless we read about them in the columns of this paper. We are always de lighted to have any news of Inter est that will tell us more about what our surrounding community is ac complishing. Once a month we read accounts of the meetings of the John M. Faison Club, the Alcott Book Club and of late the meetings of the Plney Grove Home Demonstration Club. Many of the people of Faison know a lot more about the John M. Faison Club than I am able to tell. It seems that the club was or ganized about 1912 or 13 with ouly five charter members. At the begin ning, as was the case of the Sesame Club, the meetings were held each month in the homes of the mem bers. A small tract of one quarter acre was donated for a club house site just out beyond Piney Grove school. The people of the commun ity banded together and built a nice little log club house that has been a center of the community activity ever since. - 2SZ Tired Of Waiting To Get Your Radio Fixed?

The kitchen Is equipped to serve 60 people at a time and has been the scene of many happy gatherings since it was established. There are 15 members of the club at the present. Its officers are Mrs. W. E. Lewis, president; Mrs. Rob ert Miller, vice-president, and Mrs. A. H. Skipper, secretary-treasurer. Meetlntrg are held once each month and dues for the year are only $1.50. This club" can be given creau for many community betterment MlvlHea itlnre Its establishment Among its most recent projects was the establishment of a rsi oM nr okMr rnnm at PineV GrOVO School. This room is attended to regularly by the members of tne club during the school term. They pa that fresh flowers and clean linen are provided at all times so that any child In the school can oe taken to the room for first aid If he or she becomes sick or in jured while attending school. The Alcott Book Club was estao- lished about five years ago. Its purpose is for the little social get- togethers and for the education oi its members along many literary and historical lines of study. The club meets in the homes of its members and discussions cover manv tnnirs Each tonic is Studied and discussed for 6 meeting., which are held each month and there are no dues. Among the more recent topics that have been up for discussion and study are: "Famous Artists", "Old China and Silver", "United Nations" and "Clothing And Your Personality." In discussing and studying each topic for a period of six months and six meetings causes the members to get a rather clear conception of a subject before the discussions move on to another field. Another policy of the club that proves very interesting to Its mem bers is the presenting of birthday gifts to members whose birthday occurs the month the meeting is held. All other members present the honoree member a gift. I was assured by a member whose birth day had just occurred, that the opening of the various birthday presents offered a great thrill to its members. Officers of the Alcott Book Club are: Mrs. M. M. Troublefield, pres ident; Mrs. B. C. Clifton, vice pres ident and program chairman; and Mrs. H. H. Clifton, secretary. The Piney Grove Home Demon stration Club is only three months old and has held only three meet ings but is already attracting a lot of attention in the section. There are 18 members and the dues are only 75c per year. It also meets once a month on the 4th Wednes day afternoon at 3 o'clock.. Their next meeting will be held in the home of Mrs. L. B. Sinclear. Meetings are attended by Elean or Southerland, Sampson County Home Agent, whose home is in Ke nansville. Many suggestions to the housewife are made that helps to make her life easier and her cook ing and canning problems less ex pensive. It is hoped that many more of the ladies of the Piney Grove sec tion will become members of the club. I was assured that all who were interested would be welcome. The officers of this club are: Mrs. Robert Miller, president; Mrs. Low ell Hollingsworth, vice president; Mrs. Earl King, secretary-treasurer; and Mrs. Carl Spencer, assistant seotreas. There we have it. Faison itself cannot boast of all the interesting clubs around here. We do not have to travel far over into the edge of Sampson to find some as good if not better than those of which we boast. SAM SMITH DIES NEAR 7 SPRINGS Funeral services for Sam J. Smith, 68, of Rt. 1, Seven Springs, who died Wednesday night of last week in Wayne Memorial Hospital, were held from the home the fol lowing Thursday afternoon.

Hicks discussed ,tenta tive programs for next year. Mrs. N. F. McColman gave a report of the treasury and Mrs. W. T.

Many people have never seen one of these vessels and it is attracting considerable atten tion. . r vv The mortar was brought from Arizona by Mr. and Mrs. Monk Troublefield and was seen at their home this week and borrowed and put on display in order that the townspeople could see it It is made of volcanic lava. It is well made and is well preserved and shows that it took a great deal of patience and many hours of work to cut it out.

' ,-v. Commercial Early Irish Potatoes Reports from early Irish potato growers in North Carolina as of June 1 indicate a production of 4,560,000 bushels. This production would mean an average yield of 190 bushels per acre from the State's 24,000 acres of commercial potatoes. Production prospects are considerably better than a month earlier due to Improved weather conditions. In 1949 there were 5,040,000 bu shels produced in the State at an average yield of 210 bushels per acre from 24,000 acres. The ave rage production for the 10-year period (1938-48) is 5,182,000 bush els, resulting in an average yield of 154 bushels. The commercial acreage for the 10-year period av eraged 33,750 acres. Harvesting of North Carolina's commercial early Irish potato crop is now under way in all areas and is expected to continue until about July 10th. FAISON BOY MAKES GOOD RECORD Bobby Parker, son of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Parker of Faison, made top honors for his class in the Mt Olive High School this past year. He received the scholarship medal awarded to the outstanding stu dent in the 9th grade. When Bobby moved to' Faison with his parents from Wilmington he asked to be allowed to attend Mt. Olive' School since he once lived there and had attended school there. His father was in the saw mill business in Mt. Olive and took him there each morning. ' When Bobby graduated from the Lakewood Forest grammar school In Wilmington last year he was valedictorian of his class and re ceived much publicity in the Wil mington area for his outstanding scholastic ability. He is a quiet poy ana spends much of his spare time in fooling around with model airplanes and mechanical drawing. 192 Accidents In Duplin County During Year 1949 - Rural highways of Duplin offer greater hazards to motorists and pedestrians than do the streets of Kenansvllle, President Coleman W. Roberts of the Carolina Motor Club pointed out today. Conclusions were drawn on the basis of an analysis of figures re leased by the N. C. Motor Vehicle Bureau of 1949, which reveals that of 843 persons killed and 9,721 Injured last year, 691 were killed and 7,654 injured on rural roads as compared with 152 killed and 2,067 Injured in urban areas. Two factors basically account for the high rate on rural roads. First, greater road mileage and volume of 'traffic is outside urban areas, and, second, cities are becoming safely conscious and more cities are developing safety programs in an effort to reduce traffic hazards. On rural highways of Duplin, 8 persons died, in 8 accidents, as, compared with no fatal accidents in Kenansvllle . In Duplin County, 192 accidents were recorded, in 1949, of which 137 resulted in property .damage. A total of 84 persons were injured in highway accidents in the county during the year.
