Paul Ed Dail Chosen As Kenansville
"Outstanding Farmer Of The Year"
Paul Ed Dail of Kenansville has
been selected the "Outstanding Far
mer of the Year"' in the Kenansville
area by the Kenansville Junior
Chamber of Commerce.
Presentation of the award was
made by W. E. "Pot" Craft, chair
man of the Jaycees Selection Com
mittee, at the Annual Jaycee Ladies
Night Banquet held at the H & H
Cafe In Kenansville. Wednesday
Night.
Selection of Dail for ttie Out
standing Farmer of the Year was
based on his outstanding Improve
ments and Progress in Farm wort
and his activity in community af
fairs. Mr. Dail is married to the
former Cells Lanier of Kenansville
They have four children.
The Farmer of the year Award is
an award presented by manv ef
the Jaycee Clubs throughput N. C.
It is the number one project of the
Junior Chamber cf Commerce in
North Carolina. Members of the
Jaycee selection Committee for the
County Burials-Out
"We are frequently asked to help
in the burial of some relative." says
Mrs. Taylor of the Duplin County
Welfare Department. "Most times
it is for a cofin, but some fsw times
the family feels that it cannot pro
vide arything, so come to us for
help. There has been a recent
change" Mrs. Taylor continued,
"and now if a family is not finan
cially able to make arrangements
the funeral home is to call the State
Board of Anatomy requesting that
the -hoard make plans for the body."
Mrs. Taylor suggested that each
"TtDJlUjr begin'to" plai- to-, obtain lit
surance that will take care of the
burial of any indigent relatives.
We quote from the North Carolina
General Statute "G, S. 90-12 provides
that public officials and undertakers
having possession of a deed body
having possession of a dead body
pense must immediately notify the
State Board of Anatomy. If the
Board requests it, the body is to
be delivered to the Board for dis
tribution to the medical schools of
the state. All expenses are to be
borne by the medical school receiv
ing the body G. S. 90-205)."
"Thus the only bodies which may
be buriad at county expense are
thoes the State Board of Anatomy
refuse to take and only rarely will
the Board refuse a body. Counties
should therefore be sure that the
Board has been notified and has
refused the body, before spending
tutuiiy fuiius for ourial."

JAM3S KENAN JAYVEES HAVE
OUSTANDING RECORD . .
The James Kenan Junior Varsity
at the present time under the very
capable, Coach C. H. Pope, have
won 18 straight basketball games
over all comers. The Jayvees last
year had an 8-0 conference record,
with the wins coming over that dan
gerous Wallace-Rose Hill power
house. The leaders in the outstand
ing record set last year were; Char
les Lockamy, the high scorer on
the varsity, John Pat Harmon, Hu
bert Merritt, and Donnie Ezzell.
This year with Lockamy, Harmon,
Merritt moved up to the varsity the
Jayvees have victories over seven
straight opponents, with two of them
coming over Wallace-Rose Hill. At
the present time their record stands
at 7-0 with games left with B. F.
Grady, Chinquapin ,and Beulaville.
They have already won over ihe
three teams remaining on their
schedule. Leading the way this year
are; Danny Frink, a bis 6'?" for
ward with 16.3 avg. Neal Mitchell.
Dwight Smith, Woody Oakley, and
Allen Fountain. Others on the iun
:t varsity that will in iust a few
short years star for the Tigers are:
Allen Wood, Bill Rollins, Dwight
Kirby, Lee West, Robert Caison,
Bennie Kissner, Robert Lanier,
Brad Minshew, and Mickey Benton.
If you will note this year the
first time ever a Tiger team came
close to a county championship in
hisketball. This, in my opinion is
or came as the result of the fine
work done by Coach Pope. We do
not really appreciate the fine work
that our ju"ior varsity coach has
done the past several years, and I
think it is hish time that we wake
up . . . don't YOU.
