Reports at the conference indi
cated that die use of capital using
technology and reorganisation of
farm units for efficiency is continu
ing. This continues to increase the
sitse of farms, and change the stru
cture of agriculture and the charac
ter of individual farm units in
many ways.
"Lending institutkxfs must con
tinue to recognise the fast changes
taking place in agriculture and re
cognize that fanning is big busi
ness that requires alert and specia
lised management, large amounts
?f capital, and flexibility to adapt
te needed changes, "Mr. Carlton
said.
According to Mr. Carlton, the
Credit Bank-PCA System in this Dis
trict served fanners in Georgia,
Florida and the two Carolines with
over $253 million in 1962. Loan ser

Hospital Installs
New Generator
Toe Duplin General Hospital has
recently purchased a 30 kilowatt
gasoline-powered generator through
Government Surplus program of

It is expected that this generator
will be used to power the hospital
elevator in times of emergency. The
present generator has only suffi
cient power for the emergency
room, the operation room and var
ious lights throughout die hospital.
With this new installation, the hos

Beulaville National 6uard Unit
Returns From Two Weeks Training
Tbw story of the National Guard
and its annual two weeks of active
duty training has changed drastical
ly in the past 20 years.
Oldtimers who served in the Tar
Heel Guard prior to World War H
often express disbelief at the tales
toki by the modern Guardsman who
returns from Front Bragg. They re
call, too well, their IS days of lei
sure training, recreation, fellow
ship, and an enjoyable time had
by all.
Today's counterpart finds time
for some recreation but for the
most part it comes late in the
afternoon. The individual often cho
oses to relax and rest from the
day's hard training. By the time
he is ready for organized games -
horseshows or volleyball - the day
linght is fast leaving slnd he prepar
es for the next day's training.
Even the current hot war in Sou
theastern Asia has had its influen
ce on the Guard and the Beulaville
unit in the past two years.
The rifle platoon, under the direc
tion and leadership of Lt Richard
McDowell, patrol the trails in a sur
prisingly realistic manner, being at
tacked by guerillas fihgting a small
brush battle and either losing or
winning depending upon the events
of each fight.
The guerillas are members of the
Beulaville unit, often headed by Lt.
Kicnara wnite. utten uie gueruias
forces are only driven by when we
call on the Motor squad wtyph is
amply led by Li Wayne Venters.
Attacking from either die flanks,
rear or front of the squad the sud
den burst of gunfire - blank carti
ridges ? wheels the squads into bat
tle. An exchange of gunfire, the
single shot of the Mis and the con
stant burps of machine guns and
the BARs and mortors resound as
the 'enemy' is beaten off.
The realistic tbuch adds interest
and enthusiasm for the Individual
squad members who otherwise cou
ld quickly become bored by the
constant dry-run practicing.
Sometimes the company has car- .
ried the training even further. "Civ- ,
iliarts" dressed as farmers (actual
ly Guardsmen from the other units)
have tested the company's peri- ?
meter defenses by casually strolling
in looknig for lost bird dogs and
stray cattle.
Others have wandered in looking .
tor Sgt. Allen Futreal of Beulaville, '
knowing full well they were in the
wrong area intentionally.
"These are new approaches to the *
training. "Captain Allen Said, "and 1
they have created an enthuaiam. S
Haven't aean in several yttn. At
same time.
With the 15 day training now past
its halfway mark the company will
continue to seek high inspection
grades on its administration, kitc
hen, training, and all phases of
duty.
Regular Army officers, aware of
what a rifle company should be do
ing and how it is accomplishing its
work, have graded each unit daily.
"For the first week we averaged
93.5, a score several points higher
than we've had before for the first
week. But our calibre of training
this year is correspondingly higher
than it ever has been."
The company ends its intensive
training period Thursday afternoon.
Friday will be spent in removing
Fort Bragg Dirt and mud from
company equipment. Loading of
equipment for the return to Beu
laville will be done Saturday and
the unit departs Sunday morning
arriving back at the armory around
12:20 A. M.
Overlooked, but certainly not for
gotten by the 68 members of the
company, will be pay call. They will
receive full pay and allowances
equal to Regular Army for their
two weeks. It will be a very small
number who present themselves,
collect the dollars and silver, and
walk away telling himself how easy
it was to earn the money.

Freedom Is A Hallowed Cause
(Reprinted from the FBI Law Enforcement Bulletin,
July, 1963)
IN OUR NATION, fredom is a hallowed cause
and rightly so. It is the topic of high-level conference
Congress enacts legislation to protect and preserve it.
High school students write essays on it. Most Ameri
cans can tell you what it is. Few, however, stop to con
sider the one thing it is not. It is NOT FREE.
Since 1776, thousands of Americans have paid the
supreme sacrifice bravely and without question so that
freedom might reign in our land. Our country has never
failed to meet the price demanded of a nation besieged
from within or without by enemies of democracy. For
true Americans, the cost of freedom is never too high.
Sacrifices which citizens are called upon to make
today are small indeed when compared with those of
our forefathers assembled in Philadelphia 187 years
ago. Yet, we see "patriotic" backsliders shirk their re
sponsibilities to their country at every opportunity.
Through lethargy or indifference or because it is con
sidered "boorish" in some circles, certain segments of
our society ignore civic obligations, nimbly skirt jury
duty, snub public service and avoid situations which re
quire their participation as witnesses. They "stand"
for, or against, many things, but are responsible for
none. They are deadheading on democracy at the ex
pense of their fellow man.
. i f . 1 1 mi
wurs is a system 01 government ny iaw. Tne Na
tion's welfare, progress and security depend on effec
tive enforcement of law. Presumably, there should be
no question as to where the public's sympathy lies.
However, many local law enforcement officers and re
presentatives of Federal investigation agencies daily
feel th sting of citizens' refusals to help in matters
involving tho-safety of their own communities qr.the
security of^tte.itatintry. Some so-cafled' intellectuals
and misguiwkl theorists, who view the world through
a rosy haze, are affronted when approached by repre
sentatives of duly, authorized governmental organiza
tions carrying out their proper functions. Contem
ptuous and uncooperative, these persons consider in
vestgative and security inquiries to be ridiculous. Their
sense of duty is contaminated.
When the ranks of decency and morality in Amer
ica grow thin and listless, crime and other sinister
forces flourish. During 1962, over 2 million serious
crimes were reported to police, a 6 percent increase
over 1961. A major cause of this increase is public
apathy, a refusal by our society to face reality. The
time may be near when the public must actively sup
port adequate and effective law enforcement or be
overwhelmed by a criminal jungle. Mere lip service
will not suffice. ,
The path of patriotic and civic duty leads to per
sonal glory for only a few, but it does lead to the sur
vival of the American way of life - liberty, freedom
and the pursuit of happiness. The task is a common
cause. There can be no exception for special interest
groups or laggards.
As we observe Independence Day, Americans who
are prone to shirk their responsibilities to our great
Nation might think about these things - to oppressed
people who cry out for freedom, the responsibility of
, preserving it would be a privilege, not an inconven
ience.

Car Lands In Used Car Lot, Damages
New Car And Four Used Cars
One new car and 5 used cars
were damaged on the Used Car Lot
of Duplin Motor Company in War
saw Friday afternoon by a car own
ed and operated by Charles Dur
wood Dempaey of Wallace.
Dempsey was operating a 1963
Pontiac, driving North on U. S.
Highway 117 in the edge of Warsaw.
According to reports he applied the

careless and reckless driving.
Dempsey was taken to Duplin
Geenral Hospital and released
after he was checked over. He went
back to the used car lot to move Ha
car which had extensive damage,
The owners and operators of Dup
lin Motor Company, J. 8. Herring
and Mr. Taylor, bad been advised
not to release the car until later.
According to reports words wen
exchanged between Dempsey and
J. B. Herring and they engaged la
a fight.

ed under bond.
Damage to the cars at Duplin

ghly at 95000.
Trial
& Error
CHANGING TIMES says 'This
world won't be quite perfect until
the man who builds up the jackpot
gets as much publicity as the fellow
who hits it." Also "If the best
things in life are free, how come
we have to pay so much for less
than the best?"
The N. C. State Motor Club pre
dicts that at least 20 persons will
meet sudden death in traffic acci
dents on North Carolina streets and
highways during the long July Four
th holiday, which signals the start
of an "open season" for highway
slaughter that has been increasing
each year.
During the 1962 summer season
July, August and September - 362
motorists were killed on the state's
highways during the three month
period as compared with 314 in 19
61, an increase of 48 or 15 per cent,
while 9,648 were injured in 1962 as
against 9230 in 1961, up 418 or 5 per
Cent.
She state will count its highway
fatalities from 0 p. m. Wednesday
July 3, through midnight Sunday
July 7, to conform with the National
Safety Councils practice of counting
it a four-day period when the holi
day falls on Thursday.
?Well my grandson will be here
for the holidays. I will try not to
act like Alice Elks and spoil him

she says her grandson can do. And
I couldn't brag a bit as mine is
