IT CAII Talk has been flying recently about the possibilities of a private swimming piool for the Magnolia, Kenans villcand Warsaw Communities. A. swimming pool for the three communities which will be built and main tained by individual subscriptions. Off hand, many skeptics will say, it can't be done. But what will keep us from doing it? Many things have been done in Duplin County that a lot of people have said were impossible. ' Take the small town of LaGrange for an example. They have just completed their swimming pool and it is now in use. They have a swimming pool 35'x75', 3 to 10' deep with 2 diving boards, a wading pool for the younger children 20x20 ft. and 12 to 18 inches deep. The pools are completely surrounded by a storm fence and have a concrete deck around the pool and wading pool. They have a deep well, which will pump 50 gallons of water a minute and complete overhead lighting . lor night swimming. The cost ing system and also bath fluite completed as yet. Many citizens of the on the subject and the response has been good. Isn't this a goal for us to work toward to enjoy by July 1 of 1962? Think about it and let us know your feelings. 40 Admirals Now In, Duplin Duplin Admirals Club Being Organized A Duplin County Admirals Club is in. the process of being organized in connection with the fund drive to bring the .'Battleship USS North Carolina to Wilmington as a per manent memorial. . f E.

It has surely put the schools and the teachers In the lime light, and parents are expecting and are going to demand a lot from the schools and teachers. Al most everywhere you turn one hears the schools being discussed. The installation of the new Sales Tax laws in various businesses, with the accompanying headaches, has made the public much more conscious of the efforts put forth to give the teachers better salaries. With the better salaries the public is looking for better teaching. I hope that the public is not looking for a miracle in one year. But '"Quality Education-" can be achiev ed with the cooperation of the sch ools and the parents and increased efforts of the teachers. Governor Hodges, in his address to the Summer' Leadership Confer ence N. C. Classroom Teachers As sociation at Mars Hill said: "I re commend, first, that very individ ual teacher this summer engage in careful self-examination. Ask your self these eight questions: How can I do a better job? ( What are my shortcomings and how can I overcome them? How can 'I reach every child and bring out the best within him? - Have I been lazy at times, or in different, or unconcerned? .i Am I taking every opportunity to Improve my professional competen ce?.., :. . - Do I realize that this child's fu ture is I nmy hands, and my failure now will mar him in some degree for life?

Commissioner Of Agriculture Paul Barwick, editor of the Week ly Gazette, LaGrange, and Farm Editorial reporter for WGBR Radio, Goldsboro; announced Monday night in a speech before the Golds boro Kiwanis Club that he has with drawn as a candidate for N. C. Commissioner of Agriculture. Bar-, wick announced his candidacy in the 1964 Democratic Primary for the -position on December 17,, 1960. Barwick explained that an ob scure law in the General Statutes of North Carolina disqualifies him as a candidate. "I was advised about 10 days ago by a friend there was a law in North Carolina which stated the Commissioner of Agriculture had to own and operate a farm," Bar wick said. "Upon checking into the situa tion, I was advised by R. C. Max well, executive secretary of the State Board of Elections, that he was unaware of such a law that he would check and make sure. In checking the law, Mr. Maxwell lear Bill Sullivan On ASC County Board William G. Sullivan, Duplin Coun ty farmer, has been named to the Farmers Home Admiinstration county committee, according to B.

The purpose of the county commit tee is to review applications for Farmers Home Administration loans. Composed of three members, the committee is set up on a rota tion basis with' one new member appointed each year. Sullivan suc ceeds David Lane of R-2, Mount Olive, who has served on the com mittee the past three years. Other committee members are Rhodes Young of Rose Hill, chairman for the coming year, and Henry S. Tyndall Of AlberLson.

When the group arrived at the farm they were given a cordial welcome by William Allsbrook, Re search Station Superintendent. Aft er everyone was introduced. Alls brook gave a history of the estab lishment of Research Stations in North Carolina in addition to leg islation affecting the development of these Stations. The Clayton Research Station consists of 484 total acres with 26S acres in some type of research. This research involved many areas of concern. For example, basic re search is being done in variety study, nematode concentration and effect on variety, germination tests i under varying conditions, cross breeding and developing new lines, etc ., These new lines that are de veloped here are sent out to many of the other 17 experiment stations in the state for testing as to soil and climate adaptation.

She admitted that she went much higher in the contest than she had thought she would once arriving at the pageant in Greensboro. "Everybody was looking over the competition and evaluating them selves,' she said, "but there was not one bit of jealousy on the part of anyone." In th efinal showdown, Miss New ton, who is 22 and a graduate stu dent at Meredith College, in Ral eigh, finished in third place as the Second Runner-up. It is interesting to note that all five of the finalists in the Miss North Carolina contest had freckles 'Freckles were very popular at the beauty pageant this year," Miss Newton said. For Miss Raleigh, there was very little sleep during the entire week. She averaged getting about three hours of sleep each night from Monday through Saturday night. and as many cat-naps as possible throughout the (lay, Rut even with this little sleep .each contestant had to be spirited, charming, poised an dbeautiful. Mrs. William N. Law, of Raleigh, stayed with Miss Newton through out the contest and served as her chaperone and "maid." doing such things as helping her keep her clo thes ironed and tending to small chores.

Those employed regularly on the fafm are. Allsbrook, Supt., an assistant farm manager, tobac co specialist, secretary, and . nine negro laborers. The entire opera tion is highly mechanized and or ganized thereby accounting for the small number of workers needed.
