A. B. At University
Cfhnond Drew Grice, son of Mr.

an A. B. in Chentistry.
He is a member of the Phi Mu

David Allen Drew, a young white
man of Magnolia found Carr around
3 a. m. on the Delway-Magnolia
highway, about three-tenths of a
mile north of Magnolia. He was ly
ing in the road and Drew had to go
around his body to keep from run
ding over him.
After a physician and the state
highway patrol were called, Carr
was taken to Duplin General Hos
pital. He had severe bead injuries
vestigated the accident. He stated
and abrasions about the hips.
State Patrolman L. C. Jackson in
that apparently Carr was the victim
of a hit and run driver but that
investigation is being continued.

Trial
& Error
Hie fellow who told me this story
named it "The Typical American",
and I heartily agree with him.
He said be was in the drug store
recently when a young boy, about a
second grader came in and said he
had (3.10 to spend and "What can
I buy with that much money?" Fin
ally he would up at the magazine
rack to look over the funny books.
He selected a stack about four or
five inches thick, and said he had
to catch up on his reading.
When be went to pay for the
books he ordered a 10c Coca Cola
and put his money on the counter.
rhe buy 10 funny books and
drink and then be would have
some change left.
Be said, "No, I want to spend
the last cent of it now."
Driving around in a wrecked car
is not too bad if you remember to
use the hand signals. Since driving
my wrecked car, 1 have to concen
trate to remember the hand signals.
It gets to be real comical at times.
People think that I am waving at
them and they wave back Just as
if they knew me. It is funny how
little habits that at one time were
so automatic and necessary become
outdated so quickly.
I sincerely hope that this weather
suits all you summer lovers.

Cong. Henderson
Approves New P. 0.
Facilities Here
Congressman David N. Henderson
today announced that he has urged
the Post Office Department to ap
rove the rental of a new leased
Post Office facility for Xenansville
Henderson, a member of the House
Post Office and Civil Service Com
mittee, has made a detailed study
of all Post Offices in the Third Con
gressional iDstrict and is conferring
with officials of the Post Office De
partment in an effort to obtain new
or improved facilities where need
ed.
The Congressman said that he
hoped to have a positive commit
E5
does, etc., which are natural dis
asters.
If disaster ever comes, the only
way for humanity to continue wou
ld be for human life to be saved. If
human life is saved, buildings, ma
chines, and other material objects
can be replaced; but unless the in
dividual American survives, civili
zation cannot continue. Obviously,
all persons could not survive a nu
clear attack; but many would sur
vive by accepting their personal re
sponsibility of making the necessary
preparations. Civil Defense prep
aredness is a type of insurance,
which we all hope will never be
used. Civil Defense pre
paration is necessary because a nu
clear attack could deny the people
access to doctors, nurses, and other
medical personnel and facilities as
well as clinics, drug and grocery
stores.

Some of these articles that can be

EDITORIAL
Why We Are "Country Clubbers All"
By: Ruth P. Grady
The Duplin Country Club, Inc. was blistered, to
say the least, in an Editorial in 'Sunday's News and Ob
server. We will agree with Mr. Daniels that there is
"plenty of work left to do in connection with decent
homes for rural people."
There is also a terrific need in rural areas for some
forms of recreation. Plenty of Government money has
been spent in the cities of North Carolina for recreation
facilities in connection with housing projects. In fact
the cities are getting the greatest amount of Govern
ment grants and loans. Yet in these cities where there
are plenty of people to support recreation programs
and where there is plenty of all types of entertainment,
the need for Govrenment Aid for amusement is not
nearly as essential as in rural areas.
In the rural areas, there must be some entertain
ment for our youth, and for our adults. With an initial
fee of $200. for a membership in the club and dues of
$10 per month per family, it is impossible to finance a
recreation program adequate for a rural community of
this size. 'v. ~
Your double edged remark "Clearly it will be
stated that this extension of the credit of the American
taxpayers to provide a country club in Kenansville is
for the public welfare and economic security of Amer
ica" is true. Any industry seeking location in a com
munity asks three main questions: first About schools;
Second, About water facilities, and third what type of
recreation can you offer? Duplin.must have industry
to survive. The farm program, which is the backbone
of Duplin, is not enough to hold our population. A con
tinual loss of the people from the farms and rural areaf
to the cities is not a healthy situation for' either Hie
rural areas or the cities not ifi&cn?i edifta 'the
city for untrained laborers.
Leaders of the rural areas feel that recreation faci
lities will add new interest and split* people on to
greater area development. A long term loan was the
only way that the club could be financed. In the aare of
the club are several small towns with population
ranging from 500 to 2300. A small number of the club
members live on farms. The club is situated in an
area of approximately 9000 families with a median in
come of about $2150. 300 families have annual incomes
of more than $10,000, 1200 families incomes are $50000.
and the remaining families are less than $5000.
"THE FARMERS HOME ADMINISTRATION
makes loans to groups of farmers, ranchers, and rural
residents to develop water supply systems for irriga
tion, household, and livestock use: to drain farmland;
and to carry out soil conservation measures. Loans may
also be made for shifts in land use TO DEVELOP
RECERATIONAL FACILITIES, grazing areas, and
forest lands. These loans are made under the provisions
of the Consolidated Farmers Home Administration Act
of 1961, as amended by the Food and Agriculture Act
of 1962."
"Loans are made only to groups who are unable
to obtain the credit they need from other sources at
reasonable rates and terms."
Our argument is not that the agricultural program
is not "mixed up," that we will grant you! Some of the
costs are unreasonable, some of the programs are
"Wacky" but if the Government is going to spend
money "to make every man a member of the country
club set", why not let it be spent in an area where the
"Country Club set" can do something for their com
munity, something for their children and be an attrac
tive asset to people who might like to come to our coun
ty. |
