We are pessimistic, but we need to look to the future and believe in a hope that we are not as bad off as we flunk we are. We have had rains, we have had hail, we have had tornadoes but we believe that the stamina of Duplin County will survive us. We have not had the damage that we are being told. The Duplin Times, last week, said we had a $2y 000,000 damage, but as we survey the County from Smith township to Albertson, to Limestone, to Cypress Creek, the picture looks much better than was stated last week. The total loss cannot be judged beyond fifteen per cent. Let's pick up our high heels and go to work. The summer is not yet spent. J. W. Hoffler Named Jew Commissioner J. W. Hoffler, of Wallace, has been appointed to fill the unexpired term as Duplin County Commis sioner, of A. C. Hall. The appointment was announced today by Clerk of Superior Court R. V. Wells.

He did not run this spring for re election. Under State law, when a vacan cy occurs on the County Board of Commissioners, it is the respon sibility of tba Clerk;, of Superior Court rfihui that county to ap point someone' to fill the unexpired term.

' While the homemaker spends on ly 15 per cent of her food budget for dairy products, she's actually buy-' ing 30 per cent of her family's nu tritional needs.
