Trial
& Error
One of our Kenansvllle visitors
rsaUy got a scare last night (Tues
day). Mrs. 'Betty Lou Davis and
small son. Mike, had been visiting
her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Rufus
Elks. She left the Raleigh-Durham
Airport on Tuesday afternoon to re
turn to her home in Texas. Tuesday
night she called her parents from
New Orleans where the plane was
grounded due to rough weather
Mr. Elks said Betty Lou was just
about pertrified. She could not get
in touch with her husband in Texas
and she said that was the end of
her flying career. Th* baby had
been air sick and everything was
wrong, even the milk for tiie baby
had given out.
After several telephone calls
things were straightened out. Mr.
Elks got in touch with her husband
in Texas. We have a Kenansville
native living in New Orleans, Mrs. '
Jimmy Tucker, whom they called. J
Mrs. Tucker went right down and !
gat Betty Lou and the baby, bor
rowed a sterilizer, to prepare milk ,
for the baby, who was demanding
that he be fed, and had everything
la "ship shape" in no time short. |
The Elks heard from Betty' Lou on
Wednesday morning, her husband '
had gotten to New Orleans, and ,
all wore" sleeping peacefully after
their harrowing experience.
Another 4-H community Club was i
organised on last 'Friday night at 1
the homo of Mr. and Mrs. J. B. :
Stroud. The name of. the ciub is I
Kenolia, Which to the first throe tot
nansual naroeffem It is an otganfea- <
tton ef the youths of rural Kenans
vflto and Magnolia. They have sever
al adult leaders who are working
with them and one of them is Mr.
H. L. Sanderson of Magnolia. In
discussing a meeting place tor the
ndxt time, one of the youngest boys
piped up and said, "I think it would
be nice for Mr. Sanderson to enter
tain us." Needless to say. that is
where they win meet next time.
Have you teen anything prettier
than the Spring flowers. The daffo
dils and the quince and the tulip
trees have been to beautiful to de
scribe. I don't believe any flow
ers can be more beautiful than the
first flowers of spring. ' ,

Land Bank Group Meets In Durham |
"1962 was another year of contin- 1
uing growth and progress in meet- I
ing (he long term credit needs of v
farmers by federal land bank asso- J
ciations," stated A. G. Warren, s
president of the Federal Land Bank
Association of Clinton, upon his re- f
turn last week from Durham where i
he attended on March 12 and 13 the I
annual conference of land bank as- ?
sociatkms in North Carolina and of- c
ficials of the Federal Land Bank of
Columbia.
There are 47 land bank associa- |
tions operating throughout the Third
Farm Credit District which com
prises the four states of South Car- I
olina, North Carolina, Georgia and I
Florida, and these associations to
gether own all of the capital of the 1
central bank in Columbia. The re- '
port of the Columbia bank to its
Nortli Carolina stockholders total
assets now over $228 million, with '
net worth and contingency reserves 0
over $26-% million which is an in- c
crease of more than $2 million from b
a year earlier. f
"At the end of the past year the
mortgage loan account of the Co- 1
lumbia bank amounted to about $213
million which represented an in- 1
crease of nearly $18 million above ''
the year before, with over 35,000 b
farmers in the four states being ser- b
ved by the Columbia bank through f'
the 47 local associations, and 12,919
of these are North Carolina farmers c
with loans aggregating $69 million,' a
said" Mr. Warren. It was reported
that farmers obtained 4788 new n
loans from the Columbia bank for C
nearly $5L million during the year g
1962 which was an all-time volume E
record, aad this includes a large
number of loans which are now be- u
lag made to farmers on part-time F
oasis. , -m
Other officials of the Clinton as- o
sociation attending the conference
included E. SnwttK Vice-Presi- ?
dent, of lagatd aad ?directors Gil- S
?
pert Holmes of Bowden and Otis*
tidge of Warsaw. Also attending
sere DeWitt Carr, Manager; and
fames Sauls, Jr., Assistant Man
ner.
The local association handles
rom its office in Clinton the mak- 1
ng and servicing of loans of the
