Is a sudden spurt of public relatio interest," he continues. Sup
erintendents who get concerned about full coverage of school news
when a bond issue is about to come to vote, "or when the superinten
dent's hand-picked candidate for. the school board gets some compe
tition," or when the state education association needs newspaper as
sistance, are greeted warily by the press, says Mr. Hornish.
' "Of course, as long as this interest lasts, it is fine for the schools
and for the public. There is a considerable amount of good school news.
But the bad thing is that after the legislature adjourns or the election
is held and the news flow slacks off, newspapermen notice(it. That's not
good public relations."
Utopia-for a newspaper, Mr. Hornish continues, would be all news'
of a school system "all written out in keeping witlj accepted, newspaper
practices, complete; accurate, timely, and handed" in." Utopia fo :
mlnistrators wwuld be a paper that presented "column after column of

Now O. P.' has struck pgain. Gov.
Hodges has named him ori a com

December on the needs of public
education in North Carolina. We
think the Governor made a good

O.P. but a credit to Duplin County
and also to Pender County, as O. P.

Tuesday night Charlie McCullers

ber of Commerce, ,met me at the
local cafe. Charlie v.said that Kin
ston would go along with Kenans

when, they found they were' out of
running for the new Presbyterian
College. I believe we have a good
chance. I told Charlie 'hat if Ken
ansville was out we -would support
Kinston. Mv firm ODinion now is
that if Duplin County will, all de
nominations, set behind a program
for Kenansville we have a fighting
chance to land the college. The
history of the church is in our fa
vor and if the Kenan family, plus
the other money- in our county, will
support us we have more, than a
fighting chance to - es'ablish the

Good Playing Predicted
By Coach Bill Taylor
WARSAW Coach Bill Taylor of
Warsaw will have to solve some
problems in the backfield if his
Tigers are to equal last year's un
defeated season.
The 1954 Warsaw team won sev
en games and tied two. Those two
deadlocks forced the Tigers to share
the East Central Conference champ
ionship with LaGrange which had
an 8-1 record. LaGrange's lone de
feat, incidentally, was inflicted by
Warsaw.
LaGrange won the flip of a coin
and represented the conference in
the State Class A playoffs.
"Our line should be as strong as
last year," says Taylor, "but we
probably will be weaker in the
backfield. We lost all-conference
fullback Hughie Lewis, who was a
big man in our attack. Lewis
weighed 200 pounds and gave us a
powerful short game." Lewis will
play for the Wake Forest frosh
this year.
Qnaterback Returns
But the Warsaw , backfield was
not wrecked completely by gradu
ations. Quarterback Charles Bras
well, another all-conference selec
tion, is back V) direct Taylor's
spllt-T formation.
"Braswell does everything welL"
remarks Taylor. "He is a geod pass
er and runs well. We should not
have- any trouble at his position.
"While most of our backs are in
experienced, we hope to have more
speed and probably will be con
sidered as a running team. We
will be short on power but expect
to have more break-away runners."
Taylor, starting his fourth year
at Warsaw, has a squad of 30 boys.
Eight Regulars
Eight regulars on last year's
team, including six linemen, are re
turning. :' ;.,- ; . ;
Bobby Melton, 150 pound sophomore-
end, . probably will he ' the
only newcomer in the starting Jine.
Veterans have Indicated in practice
that they plan to keep the rest of
the positions. James West; a 193
pound Junior,., will' play the other
end. . -vu,,
- Jerry Davis, 170, and Wayne Da
vis,. 190, are the tackles, v "Wayne
Davis "was all-conference as a so
phomore. last year," says Taylor.
"He is my terror and. should be one
of the outstanding players on the
club."

BY PAUL BAR WICK
Harvey Arnold, suspended Du
plin ASC Chairman, was removed
from his office as Duplin County
Electrical Inspector this month by
the Duplin Coun.y Board of Com
missioners. Ben C. Bowden, of Warsaw, was
named to take his place. His ap
pointment came on a 2-1 vote with
Lott Kornegay, of Warsaw, and
Emmett Kelly, of Scott's Store sec- '
tion, supporting Bowden. J. B.
Stroud voted against Bowden's ap
pointment. Leon Brown of Beulaville, was
absent; thus, the 2-1 vote. Chairman
A. C. Hall, of Wallace, did not vote
since he votes only in the case of
a tie.
The firing of Arnold as electri
cal inspector came on the heels
of the ousting of Gilbert AlDbin
two months go on a similar set
up, which brings a bit of irony to
light.
At that meeting, Alphin, who had
served the County as Tax Collector
for eight years was ousted by a
2-1 vote. Leon Brown and J. B.
S;roud supported Harry Phillips
for the Tax Collector's job.
At that meeting, Lott Kornegay
was sick and Emmett Kelly cast
the only vote against Phillips. Again
Hall did not have to vote because
of no tie.
In connection with the suspension
of the Duplin ASC Committee an
appeal to the State ASC to cancel
the suspension has been made and
the suspension upheld.
A hearing was held in Raleigh by
the State ASC to determine if the
committee had the legal right to
suspend. It has been determined
that the State ASC did have the
right to suspend and that there ex
isted sufficient evidence to warrant
the suspension. This is contrary
to the rumor which started in Du
plin last week that Arnold and the
committee had been re-instated.
This ,is not true. . . ,
Dwen, with the Compliance Div
ision of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, is still in Du
plin County conducting an inves
tigation of the Duplin ASC.
He informed the Duplin Times
that there has been good response
on the part of individuals in help
ing with the investigation and get
ting to the bottom ot the affair.
It is not yet known just how
long the investigation will continue.
It is hoped, however, that regardless
of how long it continues that every
one In Duplin County who is in
terested in having the best possible
government, all aspects) will coop
erate with the investigator, Mr.
Dwen.
