Kenansville Fire
Department Adds
Another Service
In another effort to render a ser
vice to the area it serves, the Ken
ansville Fire Department. Inc. has
placed into servie a hospital bed
along with wheel chair that was
donated by the family of the late
Mrs. Nora Shaffer. The bed is of
the latest design for. comfort, con
venience, and beauty.
This bed is a gift to the Fire De
partment by Mr. C. E. Quinn, long
a generous benefactor to worthy
causes.
These "instruments of mercy"
are used for the service of people
who have need of temporary ser
vices for which an outright pur
chase of such items would be a
financial burden for so short a
time of use. The bed will be plaeed
where needed in the Kenansville
Fire District for a period up to
thirty days for each use.
'"Hie Fire Department and the
peonle it serves are most grateful
a Mr. Quinn for his generous 'gift
and for the spirit of cooperation he
rias shown to make Kenansville the
aest place in which to live," stated
Fire Chief Sharpe.

CORRECTION
BY: Ruth P. Grady
The Duplin Times regrets very much that the head
line in last weeks paper which read "Commissioners Re
guest Permission To Allow ABC Stores in Duplin" was
capable of being misinterpreted. It should have read
"Commissioners Have Requested The Legislature To
Introduce A Bill To Call For a Referendum for ABC
Stores For Duplin".
This headline was not meant to cast a reflection
or to throw blame on anyone in the forthcoming issue.
The County Commissioners were petitioned and requet- <
ed our Legislators to introduce a bill allowing people
of Duplin to vote on the issue. The Duplin Times was ?
reporting a story as soon as the news was available and
as fairly as we could.
We realize that the issue on alcoholic beverages ,
is a controversial issue and in this controversy the 1
Times' policy will be to allow space for both sides of the J
question. The amount of space' for each side will have J
to be limited to a certain number of inches each week.
We shall earnestly try to report proceedings on ;
the issue as fast as they happen, and as fairly as we can. (

sion and slides of Brazil. Mrs. Cam

mer as a representative of the Syn

the missionary work in Brazil and
of future plans of the Presbyterian
Church there. In her story she told
of the poverty which exists in the
rural area and explained how much
a ,<tm^l amount of money >% these
areas would mean.
Her pictures showed lovely scenes
of the country aide and also the
1200 mile road which was travelled
mostly by jeep, adding humorously
that you knew when you had been
riding on the rood.
Mrs. Campbell said the beauty
of the work In Brazil was the en
thusiasm of the missionaries who
are stationed there now. The May
Birthday offering in the Presbyter
ian Church is designated for work
in Brazil and Mexico.
