- tv VOL. 20. v No. 21; Ediorial ; by J. R. Grady ; We are informed that the DtiDlin Board of Commissioners will proba . bly set up approximately (50,000 at next Monday's meeting for an expansion and enlargement of the local Agricultural building. It is not any too soon to make this move as the Agricultural building Js much' too crowded. Like the court house, all our , county office space is already too small and the work is Increasing all the time. . . The. Commissioners, we under stand, are going to be guided by the farm folk of the county to a large degree as to plans for the remodeling ' and enlarging and' we want to compliment them for this thought After ail the building houses the work of the farmers houses the work of the farmers and way they want it We do want to point out however, that there is such a thing as too much economy some times. It seems apparent that the building was first constructed without adequate planning and it r. may be a tough job to enlarge it in the most desirable way because of this fact When $50,000 is, going to be spent on a building, there is room for a first class architect He will charge what to some seems exhorbitant fees at the time but In the long run it will be- found this is the cheapest and most pract ical way to move, we would sug gest to the farm leaders and the County' Commissioners that this building be considered over a long period of time with possibly another enlargement later on. ; ' This brings to mind some thoughts that have been suggested regarding the Town of 'Kenansville and the County - of Duplin where future building and expansion is concern ed. It is inevitable that a court house annex is in the offing and probably other county construct ions in the not too far distance, Wouldn't it be practical for the Town of Kenansville and the Board ' of Commissioners to get heads .to. .gether and employ' the services of some TwwimtwiH ilaiMiln-nrfiuw. ing firm and give our county-seat a plan by which to grow. With the completion of the hospital, nurses home and health center some time next year the county owned build - lngs here will . be expanded con- , siderably. The court house lawn, " the hospital lawn and the white school grounds will all tie together and some landscape planning ;' is going to be necessary. Architects Boney in Wilmington will do this in so far as the hospital is concern ed but it should be" extended to take in all the . potential - county . property, and the business Section of town so that as time moves on and additional construction is done streets will be properly located and buildings so arranged as to make for the most economy and at the same time be more attractive. It costs little to plan and some times is found to be cheaper. . Way Monday, Continues For Week ;; The Kenansville Drug Company, ' - in Kenansville; the' Warsaw Drug Company, in Warsaw; 1. 1 J.

Due primarily to the leadership of ,a North Carolina Congressman, the House voted today to restore the full amount of. $18,073,231 to the vocational education program in acting on the ; appropriations bill for the Department of Welfare. Education and Health, which ad ministers the program, and the Department of Labor. The funds were restored 1 today when the House adopted an ad- mendment offered by Representa tive uranam . A. Barden of the Third District. The. Eisenhower budget called for an appropriation of $14,048,870, or $4,62491 less than the S18.673.261 advocated for thhe program last year.

Powell, 20-year-old Dup lin County Sunday School teacher, and a graduating senior from B. F. Grady High School, whose revealed connection with a marihuana ring last February "shocked" Duplin County was given a two-year sus pended sentence by Judge Don Gil liam in U. S. District Court in Wilmington last Thursday. Narcotics agents said the arrest Wednesday of two "ringleaders'" in El Paso, Tex., Glen Smith and Dario Navarette, is expected to wind the case up when Mathew S. Parker, also of near Mt. Olive, is brought to trial soon. 14-Year Old Sentenced Fourteen-year-old Robert Dflil, a nephew of Parker, has already been sentenced to three years in Wash ington, D. C. for his part in the drug ring activities. Agents said Powell was the "dupe of a transaction which began with dispatch of a package of marihuana from Smith in Texas to Dail who was to deliver it for distribution to Powell Powell said he had not known what he was to distribute. It had only been presented to him as a way to earn "pretty big money." His attorneys Rivers D. Johnson, Sr., and Jr., emphasized the "spot less" background of Powell as test ified by many townspeople about the boy who is a "leader in his graduating high school class and a highly regarded Sunday School teacher."
