rs. Gailoni Dolters' Doll flcom
Is Display OMSandiworh Ability
. By" Pan) Berwick
Making dolls and - doll clothes
has always been fascinating to Mrs.
Garland Walters, of LaGrange. Not
only does she enjoy the fine needle
work as ber hobby, but making
dolls and doll clothes have brought
to ber distinction as one of the Na
tion's top dell dressers.
Being an expert seems tress, Mrs.
Walters became interested in dress
ing dolls a few years back as part
of the National Promotion of the In
fantile Paralysis Foundation.
She was North Carolina's winner
in National competition for a cou
ple of years. When the Foundation
did not sponsor a contest this year,
Mrs. Walters decided to make her
own" DoB Room" and open it to
the general public. .
.. This she has done.
The Doll Room is located on the
second floor of her , home. In' La
Grange. Some of the most delicate
and precise wort Imaginable is in
corporated in all of the work.
la one corner of the Doll Room a
complete Bridal Party- has been as
sembled and dressed to perfection.
Even the. mlnature gloves for the
doll's hands are perfect fits.
There are also character dolls
scattered throughout the display.
Dolls in shadow boxes are very at
tractive, with even the shadow box
es being the handiwork of -Mrs.
Walters,
As for Mrs. Walters, she is proba
bly most proud , ot the dolls depict
ing different periods of time. She
has the dance hall girl as well as
the sporting characters of the time.
Then, there's the baby in a high
chair and the mother and baby set
which incorporates all the affection
that mothers and daughters have
for each other, and has been cap
tured and shown rwithin the dolls.
The doll roorh as is now stands,
la open to the public. There is no
charge. In fact! ; already hundreds
of adults and children have heard
of the doll room and have; made
their way to see the beautifully
dressed dolls - and even the men
seeing them have exclaimed over
the beauty captured.
All of Mrs. Walters' work is not
just for the doll room. Her fame has
been acclaimed across the country
and she now receives dpUs through
ont the year to be dressed in a par
ticular manner for various events.
For the Salvation Army each
year, she prepares and dresses
some dolls which are distributed
at Christmas among the more un
fortunate children of the area who
would otherwise be without much
Christmas in the way of toys and
dolls. .
So, not only does Mrs. Walters
provide herself with many hours of
happiness through her dolls, but she
brings joy and happiness to those
who look upon them and marvel at
her handiwork.

James Willis TJreham is in Dup
lin County Hospital with two broken
legs at the ankles and under arrest
on charges of armed robbery and
theft of a 1959 automobile.
Graham, a 17-year-old Negro stu
dent at Charity high school, near
Rose Hill has been identified as the
youth who held up Zettie Mae Brin
son, Friday, at gun point and took
from her $580.88 and her new auto
mobile. The Brinson woman is a teacher
at. Charity high school and was
taking the money to a Rose HID
bank for deposit, Graham is alleged
to have asked her for a "ride into
town." ' Before reaching Rose Hill,
Graham allegedly pulled the home
made pistol on her and forced her
ercd. ;
If Graham is physically able to
stand trill, he will be tried in the
January term of Criminal Superior
Court.
Graha-n was returned to Dublin
County from Wilson Cosnfty try Dup
lin Chief Deputy Norwood Boone
and Deputy Bill Quins.
Electricity . . .
Friend Or Foe
Electricity, when properly used,
is a great convenience. It lights our
homes and other buildings; it pow-
to get out of the car and leave the ' era our radios and televisions, our
money, according to Duplm sheriff
Ralph Miller, who investigated.
Sheriff Miller said the Brinson
woman said Graham said to her
after forcing her to get out of the
car, "I am supposed to kill you,"
?e did not, however, fire the home
made pistol Which was rigged to fire
a 22 bullett. A rubber band was the
force used to fire the gun. A
toy pistol was used as the base for
the pistol.
After a warrant was sworn out
immediately Graham was seen in
Wilson by Wilson Police. They gave
chase with speeds going as high as
U0 miles per hour. Hhe car was
wrecked at Black .Creek Graham
received his broken les tn the ac
cident and completely destroyed the
automobile. The' money was recov-
washers a"d drvers, our refrigera
tors and freezers, vox sdr - condi
tioners ad heaters, it even warms
our blankets.
Improperly used - cither by over
loading circuits or using faulty
wiring or faulty appliances - elec
tricity can and does cause fires.
One of every five fires in 1959 were
from electrical causes.
"Don't overload circuits", warns
Fire Chief Earl Kinsey, "and don't
use faulty appliances or faulty wiring."
"Electrict fuses are safety devices
to protect porperty against fire
from overheated wires and short
circuits", continued Chief Kinsey.
He advises, "use only 15-amp fuses,
unless your property is wired for
heavier current.". .. (,

BEAUFORT EDGES MT. OLIVE
ON YARDAGE BV CLASS
A PLAYOFFS
The Beaufort High School Seadogs
battled East Central Conference
champs Mt. Olive to a 0-0 deadlock
last Friday night down in Jackson
ville, but the Seadogs qualified for
the Eastern Class A finals on the
strength of a statistical edge which
decides the winners in a playoff ties.
Both teams established as defen
sive powers in the regular season,
produced only one serious threat.
In the opening quarter Beaufort
took the opening kickoff and mar
ched 77 yards to Mt. Olive's 5-yard
line before the drive was stopped by
a fumble. Coach Dave McClenney's
Panthers moved inside Beaufort's
23 times in the contest. Two mar
ches, one to the 17 and one to the
19, and still another died 13 yards
short of the goal.
Quarterback Butch Hassell of the
Seadogs was the chief instrument in
Mt. Olive's first defeat of the year.
Hassell fired six completions in 11
tries to account for 111 yards while
the Panthers came up with only 38
in the air, and that proved to be the
difference and the outcome. Mount
Olive outrushed Beaufort, 154-150,
but the air attack of Beaufort gave
them a 260 to 192 overall advantage.
I would like to note that Mt. Olive
lost only five yards on penalties,
while Beaufort lost about 70, and
if those penalties counted against
the yardage - victory Mt. Olive
would have won by three yards.
The defeat gave Mount Olive a
final record of 10 wins in 12 games,
the only other blemish in the record
coming from a tie with James
Kenan. The only defeat Beaufort
has suffered in 11 games was ad
ministered by Camp JeJeune.

OUTLOOK . . .
The B. F. Grady Basketball team.
Coached by Larry Stewart has got
ten off to a mighty good start again
this year. As you know last year
Coach Stewart's basketball boys
came into James Kenan in the first
round with a so-and-so record.
Coach Stewart's boys have defeat
ed Grantham, Pink Hill, and Moss
Hill and now stand 3-0, while clubs
in the county have just started on
the hardwood. Stewart pointed uot.,
"our major problem this year in
both boys and girls seem to be the
lack of depth. We only have 3 boys
in the starting "5" that have very
much game experience." He went
on to say. "So far they have given
a good account of themselves and
as for the girls only 2 girls are back
from last year's outstanding team."
The girls have at the present time
a 1-2 record.
Back from last years champion
ship team for the Grady boy's are:
Melvin Harper, Melvin Williams,
Jack Hill, D. L. Scott. Robert Smith
and Tom Stroud. This should be an
other outstanding year for the Stew
artment as Harper, Williams, Hill,

Warm And Damp '
Weather Brings
Mixed Blessings
The warm, wet weather of the
past summer and fall has served
up a lush diet for Tar Heel cattle;
but it's also spurred a bumper
crop of parasites.
A. V. Allen, animal husbandry
specialist for the N. C. Agricultur
al Extension Service, believes this
mixture of blessing and cruse will
lead to a smaller margin of profit
for cattle feeders this year.
'It's a good bet that close to a
hundred per cent of all feeders have"
or will have lice," says Allen. "Bu$
don't wait until you can see the par"
asites before starting treatment."
Allen's advice is to round up the
feeders the first sunny day. "Treat
ment is simple and easy to adminis
ter," he says. "The medicine to use
is phenothiazine. Ycu can get it to
pellet, powder, bolus or liquid form.
Dosage is according to body weight,
and you should follow the manufac
turer's directions."
Feeders with a heavy crop of par
asites generally have a rough, dull
hair coat, tucked in flanks and they
tend to scour a lot. says Allen. They
will not make economical Kairs.
"By this time, the lice have al
ready cost severs! pounds of gam,"
Allen says. 'T':is loot's like a year
when the cattle f'.vde:' must priine
away all unneccfon- items Ms faed
lot operations, and it's hard to think
of anything less necessary than parasites.".
