Trial
& Error
Mrs. Lila Kennedy of Warsaw has
recently been in Duplin General
Hospital but was transferred to a
nursing home in Wilmington on
Thursday. The unusual thing about
this story is that Mrs. Kennedy is
97 years old, she fell at her home
and broke her hip, and had to have
an operation to set her hip and pin
it back. She came through the oper
ation with flying colors, and when
I went in to see her last week, she
was very cheerful. She enjoyed her
stay in the hospital, and was very
happy1 to see every one who visited
her.
We wonder if the man to whom
Pete Quinn accidentally C' sold a
bubble gum cigar has ever gotten
even with him?
If you would like to see a curio
sity, go-see Nicky Bowden's cats.
I believe he told me he had
35 . I happened to go by the
other day when Nicky was feeding
them, and they are a sight to see.

Potter's Hill
The Parent Teachers Association
of the Potters Hill School and Com
munity have a petition 'circulating
with a total of 278 signsrs to "consi
der the problem of their schosl sys
tems and education opportunities of
their children and to make known
their-views to those in authority"
The petition calls for a yes or "no"
answer from the Board of Educa
tion. The active PTA at Potter's Hill
and the people of the community
wish to keep their school in the
community. The Division of School
Planning of the State Department of
Education recommends that it be
consolidated with the Beulaville
School when the East Duplin High
School is built. The East Duplin
High School should be completed in
about three years and will be a
consolidation of the Beulaville, B
F. Grady and Chinquapin High
Schools. Thus leaving room . in the
present Beulaville School for the
Potter's Hill Grammar School child
ren, according to the School Plan
ning Board.: 1
The Potter's Hill Schol is in bad
condition, in fact the poorest school
plant in the county of Duplin. Pot
ter's Hill citizens maintain that a
new plant can be built in their com
munity using the same money that
would be used to rennovate the Beu
laville School to take In their child
ren. . :

citizens of Potters Hill School Dis
trict have, for a long period of time,
been aware of the acute needs of
their school physical plant but have
been willing to await development
in the County School program and
have hoped for just consideration
and a solution of their problems.
The information and facts which
concern the school problems of Pot
ter's Hill as set forth in the peti
tion are as follows:
"1. That the Potters HH1 Sehool
District has the only wooden frame
school building in Duplin County
now used for the education of child
ren of the Caucasian race and that
this condition has existed for a per
iod of many years.
2. That the Potters Hill School is
only partially and very inadequately
heated by old-fashioned pot-bellied
coal heaters located in the various
rooms.
3. That Potters Hill School is not
underpinned, but is elevated on
masonry block piers with an aver
age height of about four feet from
ground level, which condition allows
cold winds blowing under the briild
ng to keep the floors chilled in win
ter, all of which is conductive to
poor health on the part of the stu
dent body, and is a detrimental fac
tor in an adequate teaching pro
gram. 4. That the lunch room now being
utilized in the Potters Hill school
