Was reading in the National Observer and ran across this Interesting little item about "Syllabub" Since Syllabub is such a popular dessert in this area around Christmas time I am passing it on to you. Syllabub is a frequently men tioned colonial dessert-wine mixed with cream, a recipe brought over from England. Earliest recipes called for holding the bowl of wine under the cow so that the milk could be forced in a hard stream into the bowl to produce fortth. A modern cook has suggested that the same effect could be produced by pouring warm milk from a teapot held up at a great height." I take off my hat to Nannie Grey Brown in Xenansville. She seems to be able to get more things done than anyone I know. I am even almost en vious of her. Besides manag ing her late husbands oil bus iness, die is now building a post office building for Ken ansville, supervising the build ing of the Presbyterian Manse, active in church work and has a teen-ager and an almost teenager sen, and I know how much going that takes. But the nice thing about Nannie Grey is that most eveiytlme you see her she is laughing, and al ways seems to be in a good humor. And on top of that she is as pretty as a picture - it's amazing. I have also heard that she has taken up square danciag as a bobby. Mors p-> or to you! RECOGNITION DINNER. ?

Cording, present mayor for 18 years and toast master at the dinner. $2 Bills In Many Pockets Duplin is in a state of dy namic growth, moving forward on all fronts. Ours is a coun ty that isn't scrambling just to keep up. We are moving ahead economically and in other ways. This is shown by the fact that Duplin is the No. 1 agricultural county in the State, that we have SO Indus tries in the county employing over 2,900 people with payrolls in excess of seven million dol lars, and by -the" hundreds of new homes which dot the countryside. It is demonstrat ed also in attitude or frame of mind. Our citizens seem to have within themselves a desire for growth and improvement and therefore create a postive or dynamic spirit. This is not a reaching out for illusion or for tinseled trappings which have no substance. There is the de sire for soundness and stabili ty, for Duplin is building for permanency - in industry, in post high school education, in culture, in common politeness and morals and in the pleasure of living. All these things add up to the tangibles and intangibles which cause an outsider to say that "Duplin is the county on the move." These things give meaning to the word "pro gress" when applied to Duplin. This week, along with the others in North Carolina, we salute the progressive indust ries of forward-going Duplin, and their contribution to the economic and social well-being of our county. This week will be observed state-wide as "Industry Ap preciation Week." This event is being sponsored by the Nor th Carolina Association of M YEARS SERVICE Vernon H. Reynolds, Coun ty Extension Chairman, has received a certificate and a pin in recognition of his SO years of service with the Unit ed States Department of Agri culture. County Commissioners and the North Carolina Department of Conservation and Development. The Duplin Board of County Commissioners, by Resolution on April 6, 1964, proclaimed the week of April 12 as Industry Appreciation Week in Duplin County in recognition of the SO industries and processors in the county that contribute so greatly to the economy of the area. These industries provide employment Tor over 2,200 per sons with payrolls in excess of $7,000,000. As a means of im pressing the public with the importance of industrial pay rolls in the county, every in dustry and processing firm was requested to pay their em ployees with two dollar (2.00) bills during this week. The following firms advised the Industrial Development Commission office that they are participating: Atlantic Cof fin and Casket Company, Beu laville Milling Company, Inc., Marlowe Bostic Milling Com pany, Calypso Plywood Com pany, Inc., Carter Insecticide and Chemical Corp., Charles F. Cates and Sons, Inc., Nash Johnson and Sons Farms, Inc., Lktyd Brothers Lumber Com pany, George Price, Ramsey Feed Company, Inc., Rose Hill Poultry Corp., Southmont Mfg. Company, J. P. Stevens and Company, Inc., Wallace Sewing Company, Warsaw Block Plant, Warsaw Manufacturing Company, Inc. Payrolls of our industries are important to the entire county. A survey compiled by the U. S. Chamber of Commer ce found that an industry em ploying 100 persons would also create 100 new jobs which are as follows: Retail Trade 33, Construction 25, Professorial Continued to Page 2 - . .

Civic organ Officials Told Civil Defense Good Investment Alex McMahon told public officials from 11 Southeastern counties that civil defense "has come to be recognised as one of the clear responsibili ties of local governmental un its." McMahon, general counsel for the North Carolina Associa tion of County Commissoners, said in his speech at Wrights ville Beach that an effective civil defense organization is "good insurance which we can not afford to do without." Sixteen Duplin County offi cials and citizens attended the meeting, among them were the county auditor, sheriff, regis ter of deeds, three commis sioners and other county offi cials along with two doctors and some town officers. McMahon said that three major problems face civil de fense units: (1) Lack of gener al public acceptance of civil defense programs, (2) nuclear warfare is outside of our ex perience, and (3) the neces sity for change in approaches as knowledge of nuclear war fare expands. McMahon recently visited the Soviet Union. There is no rea son to think that there will be any change in the Russian atti tude for many years to come' he added. "The sooner we get on with the task of getting ready," he continued, "the better off we will be." He said local govern ment has the responsibility so "let us get on with the Job." ?MB. Bh'MlHi' ?MVT" izations and professional nur ses are requested to help in arranging and operating the nine clinics. Strain I of the Sabin vaccine will be given Sunday after noon, April 19, Strain II on May 17 and Strain III in Sep tember or October. Sabin vaccine is given orally <no needle, no shots* by drop ping a few drops on a sugar cube and feeding. The vaccine is a clear, tasteless liquid and can be dropped directly on the tongue if desired. The drops are placed on a sugar cube for most people for convenience in administering. It is hoped that the vaccine may be administered to every man, woman and child in Duplin, and the doctors urge you to come and bring the whole family, and ask your neighbors to come. The responsibility of being protected against polio rests squarely on the shoulders of each family head. Plans must toe made to be at the clinics on the three dates in order to be protected. Three doses of the vaccine are necessary for immuniza tion, as each dose is a differ ent type. Make arrangements now tojbe at the clinic Sunday afternoon for this man im munization program, and tell your neighbors that all will know about the clinics. Statement By The Doctors To The Editor: Through Continual efforts of our doctors and the coopera tion of Charles Pfizer k Com pany and its representative. Mr. George Harriss, we will be able to hold mass polio clin ics. The company did not have the vaccine on hand but it was able to locate enough in the hands of a number of whole sale druggists to enable us to hold the clinics. We will hold two clinics at the same time as in the adjoining counties and an additional clinic in Septem ber or October. Of the three Duplin Men Take Top Price At Cattle Sale The Clinton Regional Stocker Cattle sale last week sold 1300 head of cattle .although this is just the second year of sales there. The range was from $19 to $20 per cwt, and one man. She rill Williams, bought more than $20,000 worth of the animals. J. E. Johnson of Rose Hill purchased ten heifers for breeding, weighing around 532 pounds and selling for $25.50 Glanton Holland, Joe Wells and others from Duplin pur chased several of the animals. But the majority of the cat tle sold for finished beef pur poses. Some had purchased stock at the feeder sale last fall and fed over winter to gain about iy? pounds a day and then sold off at the sale. This enables the producer to look after the stock in winter when not too busy and then sell off as spring planting begins. Good grade steers, 300 to 860 pounds, sold for about $25; $60 pounds to 675 sold at $21.50, fand $22 and 675 pounds and up $21.50 to $22.50. Matthews and Byrd of Rose Hill topped the sale with a full blooded Shorthorn heifer sell ing for 26 cent, although heif ers were selling for some Scent below steer prices as a general thing, but they got the highest price paid at the sale for any animal. More and more feeder lob are being built in this section and more and more cattle are being finished locally, the meat being equal to Western finish ed beef, this is attested by the sold*in^reoMt **** :>iV- '*y M strains of the poliomyelitis vir us, vaccine for strains I and II will be available now and strain III will be available in the autumn. We plan to give Strain I on April 1*. Strain, II on May 17. Strain III in September or October at a date to be announced later Our Strain I will therefore be given on April 19 when Strain ill is being given in adjoining counties. We will give Strain II on May 17 when Strain II is also being given by our neigh bors. Having to buy the vaccine from wholesalers and jobbers instead of from the manufac turer will raise the cost to us to nearly fourteen thousand dollars for the vaccine alone. In order to offset this very heavy burden we have decided to make a charge of twenty five cents per dose for the vac cine; However, let me empha sise that NO (WE WILL BE DENIED VACCINE BECAUSE OF NOT HAVING THE MON EY. The J.C's and other civic groups as well as professional nurses are now requested to help in arranging and operat ing the clinics. We plan to operate clinics in Wallace, Roes HimMawwto. WersanA F* son, Kenansville, Chinquapin, BeulaviHe, and B. F. Grady School. Mr. Charles Sloan of Wallace has assumed charge of the non professional groups that are so sorely needed to help plan and man to clinics. WHY BOTHER ANYWAY? First It is easy, quick, pain less, and cheap. It is not a shot. It is only two drops of medicine on a sugar cube eat en by mouth. Second. Lifetime protection. We have reasons to believe now that the protection will be per manent. Third. The carrier state. Many people, especially the elderly are carriers of the polio virus without actually having the disease. This is very comparable to the typhoid carrier. This vaccine elimi nates these pockets of infec tion and removes the virus from these carriers. The incal culable advantage to the young and unexposed in eliminating the carrier state is most ob vious. Fourth. If you have already had the salk vaccine polio "shots" you too need the "oral" vaccine. The "shot" gives temperary immunity while the "sugar cube" giv s lasting immunity. PLEASE DON'T LET YOUR SELF DOWN. BRING THE WHOLE FAMILY. URGE YOUR NEIGHBORS TO COME. We plan to operate the clin ics from 12 o'clock noon to 5:00 p. m. on the Sunday afternoons listed above. NURSES NEEDED Nurses are needed to help administer oral polio vaccine at community clinics on Sunday afternoon the 19th of April from 11:45 to 5 p. m. If you can help please notify Mrs. Wilma Pate. 390-2711 or 290-27 21, for assignment as needed. The distribution of registered nurses in the county is not uni form. and assignment is neces sary to insure adequate cover age of all clinics. Please offer you rservices. EMERGENCIES During the hours of the poHo immunisation clinics, noon to 5 p. m.. Sunday, April 19, 10 04, persons needing emergency medical care are requested to go to the hospital where the surgeon on call will be seeing medical as well as surgical pa tients. All of the other doctors will be busy at the polio clin ics Persons with nan emer gency medical problems are urged to wait until their fam ily doctor is again available. Corbett L. Quinn, M. D.
