Trial

Our Duplin Times this week is
dedicated to the new East Duplin
Consolidated sHigh School serve
Chinquapin, BeulavQle and B. F.
Grady Communities. And to all of
you I would like to express a per
sonal invitation along with Prin
cipal Pruit and the faculty to at
tend Open House on Sunday after
noon from 2:00 on.
Yfey will not believe what you -:ee.
The other consolidated schools in
the county are fine, but 1 do not
believe we have another in the
county to equal this one.
I think this lbs been one of the
most enjoyable assignments thai
I have had since being in newspap
er wartf. I Hafor enJ&jred-*ev*ry mite
ute of it. When you get into a ne .vs
story, and every whefe you turn,
every one you meet is filled to the
brim with enthusiasm, if boosts
your spirits to the bursting point.
In eur work on this issue we have
talked to merchants, farmers, tea
chers, pupils, parents, principals
and superintendents, and every
where the feeling of pride is bulg
ing over.
Congratulations to these commu
nities.
Was talking with Snodie Wilson,
president of the Lion's Club, this
morning, and Snodie is enthusiastic
too. As you know the Lion's of Ken
ansville sponsor the Boy Scouts,
and for the past couple of years
the Scouts have not been active in
town. Snodie informs me that Mr.
Bob Hughes, a new comer to Ken
arsville, has agreed to be Scout
Kaster, and four other able bodied
men are to be his assistants. Wo
shall have a complete story on the
set-up soon.
Kenansville, in days past, has had
a most active Scout organization,
and has seen some wonderful re
suits from the Scout work. Wallace
and Warsaw and several othei
towns in the county have active
Scout troops and have done a won
derful job. '
It looks as though we have missed
our snow! I have certainly heard
various comments on the situation,

county. Gerald Carr of Rose Hill was elected tempor

The group of business and agricultural leaders of
? Duplin County who voted to form a development or
ganization were influenced by the following facts:

bottom among counties of North Carolina. An the state
[ income is also near the bottom for the county, Duplin

They further discovered that Duplin is not grow
