We were never lonely. It seemed as if we had belonged always.

We want to compliment the coun ty for providing its people with a very fine, modern hospital and with an -efficient and courteous staff of doctors, nurses and other hospital personnel. We want to thank Mr. Grady, the editor of the Duplin Times 'for his orientation discus sion about the county and about this area on his visit the first eve ning we were in the hospital.

E. Kelly, chairman of the Duplin County Board of. Commissioners. The new structure will be con structed on the north side of the building and be in an 'L' shape. The purpose of the addition is to provide quick additional and ade quate space for the County ASC office. A Hieeting was held in the agri culture building recently to deter mine what, if anything, could be done to eleviate the crowded and inadequate conditions in the ASC office. Those present left the decision up to the County Commissioners by a unanimous vote. A cross section of the county was present, including the old building commit tee of the present agriculture build ing. This action came on tne neels of a letter received by the ASC Office Manager Sam Brown from Horace Godfrey, State ASC office manager, advising that more space was need ed 'now' in order to carry out the ASC program effectively. In his letter, Godfrey said, 'Since the programs are for the benefit of Duplin County people and are ad ministered without cost to the local County government, we feel that adequate free-rent space should be provided by the local government." He further added, "The operation of the program is jeopardized by our present inadequate quarters and we do ot feel that the farmers at Duplin County should be penalized through errors that might be made as a result of inadequate space.' Several suggestions had been made prior to the mass meeting which included the renting of the Dail Building, in Kenansville, or the use of a temporary basts 0 the auditorium In the agricuur building. - '' v However. Horn Demonstration and 4-H representatives' f the County let it be known at the meet ing that they would not submit to the use of the auditorium on Snyr basis. They pointed out that iuch had been the case before and tha--it took 'a long time to get the ASC? out so we could use the auditoTMnxT Mrs. Walter Rhodes, speaking for the Home Demonstration Club women, said, 'If the ASC starts us ing this auditorium again, we dont know when we'll get it back. We waited long enough this time and we're not going to give it up now. If we do, we're going down fight ing.' Lewis Outlaw stated that he was in favor of raising the - taxes as high as necessary to get the money to build an adequate structure tor the County ASC. This move did not get too much support, but the Com missioners took the entire problem under consideration and have come up with the construction angle without raising the taxes. Leroy Simmons, president ef the Duplin Farm Bureau, pointed out that through the cooperation on the part of everybody concerned that adequate space could be pro vided and sooner than everybody realizes. Melvin Cording, of Wallace, and former chairman of the Agriculture Building Committee, said that the County is not only cramped in the ASC office, but all County offices are crowded. Our schools are cram ped and we need more space badly. We need to give our children bet ter educational facilities.' So. now that the Commissioners have decided to build, it looks like the ASC office will probably re main in its present location until the new building can be construct ed.
