' At a meeting in Goldsboro Jast
Thursday .night, the East Central

Seashore Conference merged to
form two Class A high school con
ferences. '.'
Schools within the old conference
which fell into the AA-C classifica
tiin becaus ol student enrollments
above 350 in high .school were
grouped togeti sr but no official
conference was formed.
- - The only change in the teams in
the Kast Cen'.al Conferencefrom

Grange pullefl oUt of the.'East Cen
tral and joined the Coastal Confer

now composed of James Kenan,
' Beulaville, North Dnplin, Mount
Olive, Eurgaw, Richlands, and
Swansboro.
"Wallace - Rose Hill and Smith

from the Esst Central Conference
"because they tslli into the AA-C
classification.
h The Oo: s:l Conference is now

a group without a conference name

entered an AA-C conference in
Wake County.
The reason for the combination
was to nut schools with more equal

ment of 335.
In the Coastal Conference, Ben
venue has the largest high school
enrollment with 320. v.
More than likely when the schools
high school enrollment reaches 350
or better they, will enter- the con
ference with the other four area
AA-C -schools. '
At the meeting last week, Hap
Perry .secretary r of the North Ca
rolina High school Athletic Asso
ciation, told schools represented
that omse sool teach? i, 350

participate in state play-offs in the
'A classification. Then if an AA-C
-chools remains in a Class A con
ference it cannot play in the AA-C
olayoffs and neither can it parturi
ate in the Class A playoffs a that
school should be the conference
winner.
For example, if James "Kenan
-hould remain in the Class A East
Central Conference after it reaches
'.he 350 high school enrollment
mark, it cannot participate in eith
er the Class A or AA-C state play
offs. James Kenan -would, have "to
enter a AA-C conference before it
could participate" in State Playoffs.
Of course, in such a conference,
James Kenan would "have to win
the conference championship ."
Bill Taylor, James Kenan coach,
has been named temporary Secre
tary - Treasurer of the East cen
tral. E W Morgan, principal of
Richlands high school, is acting pre

The schools now in the East Cen

conference.

Swift and Co. To Establish Hatchery
At Rose Hill; 160,000 Chicks To Be
Hatched Weekly; Need Processing Plant
Swift and Company has announc
ed plans to construct a hatchery at
Rose Hill which will hatch 160,000
eggs each wee.
Contracts are to be signed with
farmers in the area to have 60,000
laying hens to furnish the new hat
chery. The chicken strain to be used is
the Arbor Acres crossed with a
Vantress cockrel. This is a broad-
breasted chicken and ideal for broi
ler pnoduction and marketing.
In recent years, broiler proc'ud-j
tion in the Duplin - Pender - Sajnp4.

rapidly. This is one of the prrtj-
ary reasons behind Swift and Com
pany establishing the hatchery in.

Duplin County alone will produce
more than 5,000.000 broilers during
1957. This figure is expected to in
crease sharply during the new tvo
years.

Thankful On This Thanksgiving Day?
By Paul Barwick
Thanksgiving, like Christmar. has become a time
of year when it is just another hoh Jay instead of a time
of year set aside for giving thanks to God.
When the early settlers of this great Country of
burs set aside the Thanksgiving period, it was just that
thanks giving.
They had many things for which to be thankful.
Through God's help and guiding light and hand, they
were able to withstand the early hardships in this 'the
mew world' and their 'new home.'
Things were looking up for the early settlers at
the first Thanksgiving. Not only was the harvest plen-
