monies for the conference.
Ports producers is the county

packing house firmsjbat production
at present is not up to full capa
city. Shiplng hogs out of the state
accounts for a little of this deficit

shipped into the state.
Farmers were told that Duplin
County presently is the second
ranked county in the state in swine
production. The 1960 income from
swine was $3,900,000. This figure
. cnnbl.hp nearly doubled if farm

mers in Duplin County added 20
sgws each to their hog program. |

breeding. .
Those attending the conference

While the dropout statistics for
Duplin County are traffic. Mr. Ward
points out that thy,county, compares
/avorably with;the drp?yt rate on
a state-wide basis. Oil the state
level/ there were P2.876 fifth grad

for the 1954-55 term. while only
49,068 of this number graduated
with their classes in 1862. On the na

mately graduate from high school

ahead in the bpttle of the dropouts,
Mr. Ward Stated that 'no single
factor causes k student to leave

bination of home, school and com

tually destroying the desire of'the
pupil to cbnttaue his education
' "Carefully' planned and initiated,

To Say Vows for Womanless Wedding
Trial
& Error
It seems that a prominent young
lawyer from Wallace walked out of
the cafe and went back to his work
at the Court House happily satis
fied with his dinner and minding
his own business. He was sudden'y
approached by the Cafe owner and
a stranee man who asked to please
let him inspect his overcoat. Much
to his surprise he was wearing the
strange man's coat which was ex
actly like his except for the lin
ing. These things do happen!
The Christmas rush and the weat
her are two subjects which could
fill a book this week: Oe of my
friends was talking the other
night and she made the remark
that she was not working and could
do her shopping ahead of time, but
that she did net like to. She said
it was lots morg 'ujv to be cm the-'
Christmas rush with every ojmj else.
I believe that I aferee wither I
have tried to shop, on or.e' or two
occasions in my life, during the
summer for Christmas gifts, and
it seemed so utterly ridiculous that
I would peek around to see if any
one was watching. Then I feel that
gifts would be shop worn before the
Christmas season.
Another thought, wouldn't it be
awful to feel rested and ready for
a big time during the holidays if
all of your friends are worn out
and iaded and just wish to sit a -
round?
My daughter and I made our
fruitcake cookies last night and if
you have never tried the recipe, I
believe you will like it very much.
But don't try it unless you have
plentv of time, as it really takes it.
I will pass the recipe on to you
everyone in Kenansville already has
it.
FRUIT CAKE COOKIES
4V& c. sifted flour (self-rising)
3 teaspoons soda
1 tY butter.
3 eggs
1 lb. dark brown sugar
12 slices candied pineapple
1 jar pineapple preserves
1 lb. candied cherries
2 lbs. dates
3 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoons vanilla
3 quarts pecans
Bake at 325 degrees for fifteen or
twenty minutes. Makes about 400
cookies.
We have missed the snow thus far
in Kenansville. But we have not
missed the cold weather !! Every
one has been so bundled up that
you do not know who is approach
ing you on the street. But there is
always something to be thankful
for, if we were not so busy with
the December bustle, we might
freeze. But as it is we cherr fully
run from car to office or car to
house and are hdppy to be there.
