B & P W Honors Miss Bethea
Miss Mamie Bethea, Manager of
Mack 5, 10 and 25c Store in War
saw, was recognized m her career
advancement. She was honored by
the Warsaw Business and Profes
sional Women's Club at their regu
lar meeting in February.
The following tribute was written
by Miss Mary Alice Blackmore,
one of the members of the B and
P. W. Club and submitted to the
Duplin Times.
The Warsaw Business and Profes
sional Women's Club is proud to
have Miss Mamie Bethea as one of
our members. Mamie came to War
saw in November, 1938 as manager
of Mack's 5, 10 and 25s Inc., the
only store of this kind in our town.
She entered the employment of
this firm in 1929 as a part time
sales girl. When she came to War
saw as manager of their No. 17
store it was 25 by 60 feet in dimen
sion, and at that time one of the
smallest stores in space of their
chain a stores. In February, 1947
the.? tore was enlarged to double its
original size. It was operated in this
manner until June, 1957 when an
other 25 feet frontage was added to
the store, making it three times its
original size and also converted to
a self-service operation. At persent
it is 75 feet in width, has one of the
widest fronts of any of their stores,
and approximately 5,000 square feet
in pace.'
The manager of this chain of
stores says that the store in War
saw has developed into one of their
key stores, and Miss Bethea has
broadened herself in har manager
ial ;i(jilities along with the growth
of the store. She is highly regarded
and respected by her employees
and by the other business firms in
our town. Mamie is a member of
the Chamber of Commerfe and ser
ves on the Merchants Affairs Corn-
She hs hocn . aiH i.,i
w r,f ih uo-c.,, i..k ; '
1951, having served in official capa
cities as well as on various commi
tees. She is most cooperative and
is always very conscientious in the
performance of any job she is ask
ed to do. We are fortunate to have
her as a member of the Warsaw
age aspects or farming,
some oi me points to be discus
sed are: Advantages and profits
from grain storage, loans for bins
and dryers and support price, in
sect control in stored grain, metal
storage bins and drying and how
to use dryers.
The increase in livestock and
poultry in Duplin County has crea
ted a great demand for grain. This
is one of the major factors invol
ved in encouraging farmers to store
their grain on the farm. All grain
producers in the County are urged
to make a special effort to attend
the March 16, meeting,, in Kenans
ville. of the deecased, and a copy spread
upon the minutes of this Board.

EDITORIAL
The Reason For This Farm Edition Is
To Encourage Better Farm Management
Ty,;, th Dunlin Time's Farm Edition for 19R0
, , j-,. j i t- i a -n i
farm C0Py has been edited by Paul A. Barwick,
Editor of the Weekly Gazette and Associate of the Dup-
iin Times, who is also associated with the Farmers
. ... ,. . .
Association and is past-president of the Association.
A great deal of thought, time and effort have been
rrivpn to thic: Farm F.Hiti nn which hac a thnmp nf "Hpt
J ,
u;l r"lm -ividiitiguiiifiii . . .
" The reason this theme has been selected this year
is because of the "squeeze" which farmers find them
selves in so far as prices received for their products
and the cost of materials for producing food and fiber
for the United States.
Last year was not a good year for farmers. A major
factor was adverse weather conditions coupled with
lower prices received and the higher cost of materials.
Because of this, The Duplin Times feels that farmers
must begin the 1960 farm season realizing that cost of
operation must be kept at as low level as possible, that
more thought must be given to farm expenditures, and
more attention must be given to quality production.
It is his newspaper opinion that through "Better
Farm Management" farmers can in 1960 realize "big
ger farm profits".
In order for farmers to stay in the business, it is
our opinion that farm management must receive more
attention throughout the decade of the 60's. It is not
just for a selected few, but for every single farmer who
wants to remain on the farm.
The Duplin Times wishes to express is deepest
appreciation for the cooperation which has been given
in making this Farm Edition possible. The Gazette
especially wish to thank the Agricultural News Service
at State College for their assistance.
Special articles have been prepared by many indi
viduals and agencies. The advertisers who have made
this Farm Edition possible join with the Duplin
Time3:!n encouraging Better Farm Management.
It is our hope that you, the readers and farmers,
will rea,d ever single page contained in his Fsirm Edi
tioa it'lcbntains Itnuch valuable information.
So,;.a we begin another y?ar of farming,, it is the
hope' of. the Duplin Times that for farmers this year,
ffj'.'Mll truly be a "more profitable year of farming,
through Better Farm Management."
