Yes there are literally hun dreds of beautiful scenic spots in Duplin these tell days. You will find them most anywhere along our country roads If you will Just look. We read and see pictures of beautiful scenic drives in other parts of the state but I wonder how many of ' us look for the pretty spots and search out nature right here at home. No prettier pastoral scenes can be found anywhere 'than here In old Duplin. I ride around and look and wonder why the artists who paint country scenes In other parts of the country have not looked for some around these parts. Now that we have hard surfaced roads all over the county it. is easy for one to tour the entire county on a sunny afternoon. We could designate some of our attractive scenic spots hut the most attractive are those to be found almost by accident If you go out looking for a spot that has been pointed out you might be expecting too much. If you go out looking for natural beauty your eye will find it everywhere. Why not drive out and discover your county - you'll be surprised. To The Editor - From the very dawn of civiliza tion, some men have possessed an inherent hysteria to dominate their - fellows. The pages of sacred and : profane history record the terrible atrocities of War, which often has drenched the World with the blood of innocent men, women and child- - ren. From time immemorial, other men have devised all kinds of " methods to try to stop war even to the ridiculous extent of fighting wars to end war. Good will policies, peace tribu nals, treaties and diplomacy are most necessary and tremendously Important, but insufficient. In a pinch treaties are torn up as scraps of paper, diplomacy is inadequate and delegates walk out of the League of Nations with the slightest provocation. . ' Some men's hearts must be changed. The people of the World must either accept God or war. Which? I am sure bombs can and may destroy the World. I am Just as certain that prayer is mightier than bombs. " At this moment ladened with the gravest possibilities and re sponsibilities, I modestly offer the following solution.. I do solemnly promise: First: I will be a better member of the religious ; organization to which I belong. .-;', Second: If not a member, will Join some religious group immedi ately.'. A'; s Third: I will pray dally for one year that lasting peace will come to all mankind. ... Name ; .... The sole purpose of this move ment is to help save the World spiritually and physically. If you are willing to Jqln with me and other people all over the World, cut out this pledge, sign it and keep it , . .Ki-;:.:r--.i.i.. . ' J. Herman Canady, Kinston, N. C, Thr;l;l$ About Th:n!;sgmiig? Thoughts of the large family at the Oxford Orphanage begin to turn towards the . Thanksgiving season wnen tnousands of Masons and other friends annually give generously of their means to the welfare of boys and girls who need and so well deserve them. This Is of utmost importance in these young lives. ' ' ; The Oxford Orphanage for three quarters of a century hss special ized in every phase of properly rcirJng. orphaned children. Its "'ton of r""- t' -i r"v' Institution whose sole object Is to serve. s &:J.Jl J.:;-?! The Grand Lodge of Masons owns and operates the Oxford Orphan age, but barf never restricted Its services to the children of Masons. Ninety percent of the children' in the Institution are of non-Masonic parentage. At Oxford the' question of parentage yields to the need of the child. That is the decisive argu ment .. -'. The need of Orphanages today for greater support is pressing. They must have more money or else. You know what that means. Superintendent Gray la forced by circumstances to stress increas ed donations this Thanksgiving. The expense of operating the Ox ford Orphanage has been growing every year and now It at a peak. When one thinks of the multitude of services the institution has to perform, it is enough to open the hearts and purses of benevolent men and women. Here is a partial list of the kinds of service Impera tively demanded: shelter, clothing, food, recreation, heat, light, books, school supplies, health programs, athletic equipment, staff of train ed workers, vocational training in several departments, laundry, re pairs and upkeep of grounds, build ings and equipment, experienced case work, and so on. There is.no economy In neglect, What we do not pay from the heart, often we have to pay "thru the nose." Juvenile dellnqulncy .is an acute problem of the times. Its prevalence is deplorable. The Or phanage helps materially In the so lution of this social problem by rearing and training children who otherwise would not have a chance. If it did no more than this, the Or phanage would Justify Its existence. As a tax payer and public-spirited citizen you are vitally Interested In it. - v...?-;jv.' v-v-, " "Gratitude Is a species of, Just- CiC4,1C& tat to Unit. 178. ss CMna C3,:p4 Imk3' I feclfiC I j . ..

' bKVOTIONAI. READING: PttU H. Christina Vcrchip Lessen far November It, ISM SOME one has said that B the Christian church did nothing else but offer a regular' opportuni ty for public worship of God, she would h a v.e justi fied her place in the sun. This Is a ; rather misleading -truth, for If a 'church did nothing but worship It would not be dolnt its .whole duty, indeed It would not be a true church. As our Scripture plainly r Dr. Foreman jshows, worship disconnected from Ufa Is not only good, it is sinfuL WHAT is worship, and why do we worship at all? We might de I fine it as a meeting with God, both .conscious, and desired. "He shines ;in an that's fair." and in truth we are In hla presence all the time. But we are not conscious of him all, i the time, when we are conscious let him, then caw c( two things hap pen. Either w hastily shut our mmds and run away from him in fear, which is am.

We worship be cause we love God. - Otherwise It would be a bore, at best, or a kind of self-torture at worst We worship .because we need Ood. If Jesus needed both .public worship and private prayer, so do we far more, lWe worship because we need to know God's win. - ," ,.. Why Worship Together? PUBLIC and private worship csn . not be substituted for each oth er. Readers of the Bible know how .they were intertwined in the ex periences of God's people, and how our Lord himself, who, used to at tend the synagogue services regu larly, also sought God on the hills, i alone. A rnanwho never meets with God alone in prayer win not know .how to come to publlo worship -in the true spirit; -and a man who habitually stays away from church for no good reason is rio a person whose private prayer-life Is likely to be a healthy 'one. ".' r : We need te worship together " with ether Christians.' We need : this experience ' te strengthen j ear ewn prayerWe. We need It te keep as from selfishness In ear prayers, intense, earnest prayer, and fall' ef faith tee, J may be serlensly wrong If It la essentially selfish. : In corporate, public worship we are reminded that none of us stands .alone; that God has many children. ;We need' to worship together be cause it is one of the very few, things, perhaps the only one, that' an human beings can do as one. No two of us are alike, yet we are alike in this one thing: We are all human beings In need of God. To worship together is to be reminded' of this. -Why Worship As We Do? r OUGHT not to be surprising that men worship God, in so many ways, for there are all sorts and conditions, of men. But within the Protestant churches, our differences are not important. Essentially we have much the same "pattern' of worship. It will be helpful to you, the next time you are, in church, to ask, at each part of' the service: Why do we do this? What good does it dp? Could U be left out without being missed? .

"Why,- there are some pa tients who have been there a year or . moro without , treatment," he said. "They've been given custodial care, and that's all -- because we don't, have the trained manpower to do hte Job." -; ;t He thinks the Legislature should give the Budget Commission- au thority to add funds to the building programs already authorized. Some are being Held up because bids are higher than funds provided. He thinks' new moi!ey must be forthcoming from somewhere -either an added penny gas. tax or an upped license tag fee -- if the State is to take over building and maintenance of city streets.
