Dr. Wolfe is not a native of Duplin but a near native having been born just across the line near Mt. Olive. The fal lowing story was written for the Times by Miss Mattie Bloodworth of Bungarw and we hope she will send us more stories about their hospital.

This body is seeking more Job-providing enterprse for the county. It knows it cannot do the Job alone. State interest and cooperation must be had. And the first step in getting it is the gathering planned at Ke- ' nansville. The program there-next Monday is one which could be copied to advantage, by other North Carolina counties.-' Since Raleigh is so important regardless of who is Governor or who fills this or that state of lice in the life of the counties, frequent get-togethers like this serve well in strengthening the ties on the personal level between stats and local government. Meetings like these encourage undrstanding and can be made the foundation for further planning by the men and ' women whose principal civic ' aim is improvement of their county and state for the betterment of all the people.
