Duplin Bounty Coutlhow?,M
Beuloville School Marked So
The idea of Civil Defense has
beep in Duplin County for years.
Dr. Coiwell of Walace, the former
volunteer Civil Defense dir. and
Ralph M. Cottle, the full-time Civil
Defense director, report that there
is tangible proof that civil defense
has finally taken root in Duplin
County.
A few short months ago, a sur
vey was made of numerous build*
ings in the county to determine whi
ch, if any, would be of value for
public use in event of disaster.
Many of the buildings were public
schools.
The federal government is mark
ing any building that measures up
to certain standards of protection
in case of fallout. The government
wants buildings that ,will hold fifty
or more people.
As it stands now, the Duplin County
Courthouse and the Beulaville High
School are the only buildings that
havie been marked. Both will be
stocked with food supplies in the
near future. The High School will
hold over 160 persons. In disaster
ous times, these buildings will be
used as public fallout shelters.
There is one church in the south
end of the county that 'Will be mark
ed as a public fallout shelter if
permission is granted. In the near
future, other buildings may be
stocked with food stuffs^
Most of Duplin County's public
schools, also many other buildings,
are of great value for public .prfc
tection in event of huttwianes, etc.
O. P. Johnson, superintendenant of
public schools, has signed agree
ments which give the public the
right to use the said buildings for
personal preservation in a time of
disaster. It should be pointed out
that many of the public schools of
fer good protection to the public
and should be used if and when
the need arises.
The Civil Defense director encour
ages private businesses to have fall
out shelters that can be used by the
public and/or their employees. Pri
vate business owners that have
areas that can be used as a shelter
are urged to contact the Civil De
fense Ofiice to discuss its use for
the public or their employees.
Your help is needed. There are
40,000 people in Duplin County to be
protected in case of an emergency.
"At least one person is every
family should take a first aid or
home nursing course. These courses
are offered free so if no one in
your family has already taken a
course lb one of theie areas, con
tact the Civil Defense Office or the
Red Cross Office." slated Civil De
Civil Defense Director, Ralph. Cottle, pointing to. the Fallout Shel
ter sign which was posted on-^he Courthouse Friday, January 18. Two

Trial
& Error
This tail; is floating around Ken
ansvilie. As lo it's truthfulness, I
will not vouch, but fiere goes. As
you know, the names of the sir
geons at the Duplin General hospital
are Dr. Redwine and Dr. ftasmus
Ben. A lady was admitted to the em
ergency room at the hospital, and
someone in attendance was ashing
her questions getting the necessary
data for the records. The ettend
unt asked the patient, "Do you
want Redwine or Rasinussen?" The
patient promptly answered, "1
think I'll just take a Pepsi."
A certain grandfather in Beula
ville took his little grandson with
him to list taxes. The list taker was
asking questions about his personal
property. Every opce in a while the
little boy would interrupt his grand
father, and correct him on the value
it certain items be was listing.
When the grandfather finished list
ing, the grandson said, "Grandpa
you're certainly telling a bunch of
itories."
While walking around the $750,000

Beulaville Citizens Talk SwimmiAg Pool
Ptan Another Meeting hi Near Future
At almass meeting in Beulavllle
last Wednesday night in the school
auditorium, plans for a swimming
pool for the Town of Beulavillewere
discussed.
This project Is being sponsored by
the Beulaville Jaycees.
Af this meeting it was decided
that no small group of people can
make a decision that might confBct
wiili the interest of a large group
of people. Therefore all persons
would be contacted and at the
meeting held at a later date every
one could voice their opinion.
Persons interested in the pool are
asked to contact presidents of the
Lions and Jaycees, I. J. Sandlin or
Russell Bostic, and secure applica
tion for membership forms and get
them signed.
According to spokesman Russell
Bostic, plans discussed at the Mass
meeting, were: "We propose to con
tact all interested people and secure
a $15.00 deposit or initiation fee,
just as though we were going ahead
with the plan to let Mr. Jewel and
Mr. Moore own the pool. Then, as
we contact these people, ask each
family if they would prefer to and
are willing to put up $100. each, to
own the pool and record each opin
/? i. . 1 !l
ion. Then, when we secure the nec
essary ISO families, have a mass
meeting again, and if it is the will
of the group and if we have enough
money or pledges, we will go ahead
with the plan to build it ourselves.
Or, if it is the will of the group,
we will go ahead with the plan to
let Mr. Moore and Mr. Jewel own
the pool. Or if it is the will of the
group we will refund all of the
$15.00 initiation fees and forget a
bout it."
