Commissioners Hear Industrial And Agricultural Council Report-Adopt Resolution To Enact Legislation The Duplin County Board of Com missioners in adjourned regular session on Monday, February 18 heard reports of the officers and members of the board of directors of the Duplin County Industrial and Agricultural Council of studies made by their group of several county organizations which have been successful in the promotion of industrial and agricultural enterpri ses on a county-widie level. C. W. Surratt.'Jr., President, Gar land P. King, Vice President, and Board Members, Elmo Blizzard, T. J. Baker, E. C. Thompson and Rus sell Bostic reported to the Board on their finding as to how county or ganizations have been effective in aiding and encouraging the location of manufacturing enterprises, mak ing industrial surveys and locating industrial and commercial plants in various counties. They told how county sponsored organizations have been effective in increasing popula tion, taxable property, agricultural industries and business prospects for counties which have instigated such county development programs. It was found that before Duplin County can finance such a program with county tax funds that an en abling act must be passed by the State Legislature and the county residents must vote in a referen dum to authorize the Board of County Commissiners to expend county tax funds for this purpose. The Board of County Commis sioners adopted a resolution re questing Representative Hugh S. Johnson and Senator Leroy G. Sim mons to enact the necessary legisla tion to provide for a referendum to permit the establishment of such a program of industrial and agricul tural development in Duplin County to be financed by county property tax funds not to exceed 5c per $100.00 property valuation.

Law Enforcement Officers Join Hands To Helo Youth In And Around Warsaw Mayor's Statement As Mayor of Warsaw and a par ent myself, I would like to inform the citizens here and in the sur rounding communities that the dis orderly conduct which is increasing during the dances which are held every Saturday night at the Twin Produce building in Faison must be controlled or steps will be taken to discontinue the dance. This is due to the numerous ar rests which have been increasing during the past few months. Ages range from 16 through 25 In many instances, the parents of the teen agers learn nothing about the ar rests or, if they do, the teenagers misrepresent the facts with the parents taking up for them and claiming the deputies have made false arrests. In all cases, the arrival and con dition of the defendants have been witnessed to the fact that they were highly intoxicated if not dead drunk ? having to be bodily carried into the jail. Anyone, who cares to wit ness this phenomenon can wait a round the City Hall at Warsaw any Saturday night after 11:30. The reason the defendants are lodged in this jail is the fact that Warsaw has the closest 24-hour police department in Duplin County to Faison. (The Jail is under sup ervision'^ hours a day).. AormTffme'hKBre' ar^Hias^beerN dan gerously increasing due to improper management on the part of the pro prietors who have expressed the desire that the law stay away from the dance or refrain from making any arrests there. I feel that the citizens here, espec ially parents of teenagers, should be informed and warned about the ronditions of drunkeness and mis conduct which are prevalent at this (lance. It has become a public nui sance. and it is not a (it place of entertainment for the young people of Duplin. It is patronized by ser vice men and adults from distant places who do not mix well with young people who need proper sup ervision. The young people are ex posed to improper conduct and alco hol. (The reason I am familiar with the situation is in the fact that these defendants appear before me in - court, and I have gone to the dan ce after midnight to see for myself. This situation is creating a dan gerous pattern for all teenagers to follow and one that I am sure no parent wishes to see his children indulge. As Mayor and Justice of Peace. I would like to notify everyone that AS-OF-NOW-any person arrested at this dance will see their pub lished in the paper and their" parents notified as soon as possible after March 1 9 A. M.
