He was talking to and about Wallace but his story can well apply to not only Wallace but Duplin County and Eastern North Carolina as well, ; ,: The prophet was Jack Patterson, public relations director for the J. p. Stevens Company who Is build ing the large factory at Wallace. J. p. Stevens Company la big, yes It is very big among the Industries of the nation. The reason It la big is because it operates on princi ples of life as laid down in the Ser mon on the Mount. Or ' at least I believe so af ter bearing Mr. Pat terson last week. ' Vfi- .s, , He talked, not too long, but long enough to the members and guests of the Wallace Associates at their first dinner meeting of the year. The speaker directed bis thoughts and words towards "Wallace to roorroVV He laid ow a pattern that Wallace people, might .follow in building a bigger and greater town. He looked tat obhe future and on the basis of bis past experiences with other Industrial towns foraaw what might .happen in Wallace II the people looked facts squarely In the face now. By, inference be let it be known what could happen If ttiev failed in ttie task before them Patterson's true premise was the foundation of man, as such; an ani mal God wit on earth to complete the task of developing nature's re sources and learning to live togeth er for the benefit of the whole; of taking Care of (What "God had left.' He interestingly told the story nf Hie man who asked Dr. Beard, the famous historian, what lie naa learned from the long years of stu dying history. Dr. Beard said he bad learned three things, namely: When night Is darkest the stars shine brightest; The milk of the Gods grind slowly but they grind exceeding small; whom the gods would destroy they first make mad with power. j:--': yA. ... . ....

Ana, imc. a.t other question. Wouldn't it be pos sible for the county publishers and civic organizations to work together to sponsor a project to see that Du plin's servicemen get a county pub lication? v.;;-,' ' .: ; r r'.;v'.'- - It seems that It would be a worth while project to keep these men and boys in touch with home and homefolks. In addition to provid ing them with news of home and friends, it would link and bind them more closely to Duplin, and would therefore increase or Im prove the chances of them return ing to Dunlin. It seems we should especially want- to hold and keep una veunff ones ii iwun. ; it's Just an wea, bod. May nov be woruh a darn, and probably Isn t but just the same " - "? Let's try not to lose the young ones They are the important ones and besides, all the older ones will very likely come back on their own ac cord. They realize Duplin would h hard to beat. . . .

' " people after tne development of man from savagery, at whkh time the strength of the individual, phy sically .determined his ability to be chief. x s With the downing of a civiliza tion and the commencement of man to think in terms of a social order, man began to dream of Individual Initiative whereby he could foster some partkwtar ideal of life and enjoy tbe faults of bis efforU both socially as well as materially. He began to organize those things whksh were about him, exercising authority of ownership, ancummu latlng material things for his own welfare and in general began liv ing separately and apart from the community, except to comply with suon crude rules as were necessary for the regulating ol tbe acts of toe group. ; :- As in all oases, it waa toon found that there were those who were drones or Don producing persons, who sought by other means than by their own efforts to live without producing their own livelihood and as such they were willing and anx ious to secure such as they needed from the more thrifty and to do this they would raid and take away from the industrious individual his material things by theft, power or even by taking the life of the indi vidual and destroying his family and its holdings.
