Mr, Jenkins told the Times that when he has some money to spare, as he did this Christmas, he likes to help small rural churches. The editor told him he be lieved this was one of the best channels he could direct his money. - Mr. Jenkins heads the L. B. Jenkins Tobacco Com pany; a partner in the Jenkins-Jones Motor Co., Ford dealer and proprietor of the Jenkins Farm Equipment ' Company aUtof Kinston.

J. R. Grady A GOOD IDEA ' Aubrey Cavenaugh of Warsaw, former member of the N. C. Department of Conservation and Develop ment,vhas come up with what sounds like an interesting idea. Mr. Cavenaugh says that Duplin County needs to bring in from time to time outstanding leaders in various fields to talk with us. He proposes that leaders in every community of the county get together and form a club, or what ever you want to call it, and plan for dinner meetings from time to time and have some noted speak er attend. This can be done, he says without too much cost and he believes that the end results will be benefi cial to Duplin County as a whole. We agree with you Mr. Cavenaugh.

The performances of the national company or fuXNUZ luun GUN on Jan. 11 and Jan. 12 In Thallan Hall, Wilmington, N. C. under the local sponsorship of N. C. Pr. Sorosis marks another milestone in the number of audiences who have seen this attraction. During its three year run on Broadway, ANNIE GET YOUR GUN played to over 1,500,000 people. After the first year of its New York engagement, a second company was sent to Chi cago, Philadelphia, Boston, Dallas, Los Angeles, San Francisco and other large .cities, coast to coast. At the same time, another company opened in London. Subsequently, the rights to produce the musical were leased to producers in France, Australia, Holland, Sweden and Den -mark. During the past summer, ANNIE GET YOUR GUN was performed in stock or by a touring company in eighty-seven summer theatres, It was also given showing by es tablished musical groups such as the St. Louis Municipal Opera Company, the Music Circus at Lam. bertville, N. J., the Cape Cod Mel ody Fair in Massachetts, the Musi cal Tent Theatre of Toronto, Canada the Neptune Music Circus in As bury Park, N. J. and at the Dallas Starlight Park. Everywhere, the production re peated the great success it had at tained in New York and was enthu siastically acclaimed by press and public - the New York drama critics awarded it The Critics Circle Prize as the best American musical of the season and John Chapman in cluded the script in his publication "The Ten Best Plays of 1951." Because ANNIE GET YOUR GUN is such an outstanding musical com edy, the Civic Drama Guild of New York, producers of the National Company, were desirous of giving the opportunity of attending this attraction to as many people and cities as possible throughout the land. For this purpose, the present national company of ANNIE GET YOUR GUN was organized and booked into those communities who are off the beaten path of touring attractions. At the Same time, if receiving community support as anticipated, ANNIE GET YOUR GUN will pave the way for future theatrical attractions, both musical and dramatic. All the flavor, verve and beauty of the original New York product ion have been retained; the audi ence will hear the complete score comprising such hit parade tunes as "No Business Like Show Bus iness," "Falling In Love," "My De fenses Are Down," "The Girl I Marry," and many others; the truck load of scenery, though adapted to the rigors of touring creates the illusion of Buffalo Bill's Wild Wst Show and forests, wherein the mus ical is laid and the colorful ballet numbers have been staged by Aileen Cordova who is assistant choreo grapher to Agnes De Mille, creator of the dance routines for "Okla homa," "Brigadoon", and other big musicals. The box office for the local pre sentatlon of ANNIE GET YOUR GUN is located in the Sorosis Club house, next door to the Wilmington City Hall. All seats are reserved, scaled at $1.80, 13.40, $3.00 and $4.80 and since a policy of first come first served will prevail, those purchas ing teats immediately will receive the choicest -, locations.

D. Club held a joint meeting and discussed building a community building. One of the Lion's Club members and his wife who was a H D. Club member offered to give two acres of land for the building, they were Mr. and Mrs. Fred Out law. After other places were dis cussed it was decided that this would be most suitable and would be about in the center of the com munity. Around the first of April the men began clearing the site. On the 28th day of March 1053 the two acres were staked off and the deed written. The deed was made to a committee which was appointed by the two clubs as fol lows: Taft Herring, O. W. Scott, Fred Outlaw, Mrs. Zollie Kornegay and Mrs. Jonas Dail. The deed was recorded in the Register of Deeds office April 8, 1853. On March 4th the H D. Club met for its regular meeting and ways and means ot raising money was' discussed. It was decided that we would canvas the community and near-by towns for donations. A committee was appointed to canvas each section and town. We received $406.85 in money and pledges of logs for lumber, building materials and hardware to be used in the building. We, also, had an electric stove donated. April 1st the H. D. Club met again and voted to give $150 of our club's money to the Building Fund. At our May meeting we voted to take an offering for the Building Fund. The Lion's Club and H D. Club met May 28th and decided on plans for the community Build ing and the name. In July our H. D. Club took a- nother offering for the Building Fund. It was decided in July to take this offering each month which we do.
