Trial & Error Don't forget to go to the polls Saturday and vote! This is an important issue for the people on North Carolina. And maybe after Saturday, the subject of conversation will change to something else besides politics. It is interesting, but it gets long drawn out and confusing. But it is good to see that the people of Duplin County take so much interest in the prob lem* of the state, and the J choice of o^ir Governor Last week Mrs. J. E. Ander son, the former Sallie Gibbs Pridgen, visited the Duplin Times office. Sallie Gibbs was an assistant in the Clerk of Courts office in Duplin County several years ago. Mrs. Ander son now has five children, and one has graduated from col lege and is touring Europe this summer. Sallie has gone back to college, has her Master's de gree and is teaching French and English, and I believe she also said Spanish, in one of the High Schools of Orange Coun ty. These women who go back to college I! My sister, Mrs Charley Brown of Norfolk, has been married for quite a num ber cf years and has not taught school since. Her bjys are both in college now so she decides to go back to school. Last Sun day nieht she received her B. S. degree from Old Dominion College in Norfolk and already has a job for next year teach ing in the Norfolk City Schools. I will surely take off my hat to her-for she really worked for the past two or three years. I took her on a trip with me one time and she didn't even know where she had been as her head was buried in a book the entire time. Before marr iage she was a teacher in the Calypso School in Duplin Coun ty. This is strictly for women. Why don't we appeal to the Government, the manufacturers or Just somebody - just any body about the problem of nip pers on womens dresses. Why do the zippers on women's dresses have to be in such in convenient places. Coudn't a dress be attractive with a zip per down the side, or in front or just anywhere besides in the back. For women with husbands or children at home, I guess the problem is not quite as acute. But for the rest of us - my goodness. How about a hot Sunday morning, when founda tion garments are a must, and dresasa are a bit tight. A deep breath "in" gets the zipper started, half-way up it gets hung, pull, tug,, stand on your head, do a back bend-nothing will unlodee that caught zip per A feeling of claustrophobia Creeps over you, prespiratior destroys a good job of make up, nervous tension when the church bell rings, causes you ot seem to get larger. When every trick has failed to loose the zipper and'you sit down to cry, the darn thing stipe just as in Lake Manager Speaks For Moore supporters 01 Moore ror Governor" turned out at Carl ton's Crossroads near Warsaw in big numbers tc hear Robert Morgan of Lillington speak in behalf of Moore on Tuesday night. Morgan was a campaign manager for Dr. Lake in the May 30 Democratic Primary. Robert L. West, attorney of Warsaw, was MC for the oc casion. Senator Morgan was in troduced by A. Mitchell Britt of Warsaw. Morgan, an enthusiastic sup porter and speaker for Moore stated that the friendship of Judge Moore and Dr. Like did not begin after the first pri mary. They had been friends for many years. Judge Moore has stated according to Mnr ean, that there will be no Lake Nor Moore Democrat but they will all be "good Demo crats after the election". Mor gan stressed the necessity of putting Government back in the hands of men of integrity with strong convictions and strong principles. A strong plea was made by Morgan to the people in an ef fort to get some of the false rumors which have been circu lated about Gubernatorial Can dsdate Moore straightened out. Morgan accused the papers of not giving coverage to Moore except through paid advertis ing, and referred to the "Viei. ousness" of on^ of the state papers comparing to the cam N , "fv. ^ paiffn of i960. He said "Moore bad previ ously stated his program for the tobacco farmers of North Carolina. Judge Preyer just re cently became a c onvert on tobacco", and further that he cannot testify with any know ledge on th etobacco program. It was further stressed by Morgan that this was one of the most important elections in many years. He said he had never before seen a campaign where as much mud had been slung. He explained Judge Moore's stand on special interest rates, and also stated Judge Moore's stand and his interest in the REA program. Judge Moore believes that the REA serves a useful purpose and that he would not permit the Utilities Commission to regulate. Judge Moore believes that more teachers should be pro vided and is in favor of raising pay of school teachers in order to get more efficient teachers, explained Morgan. Candidate Moore also has a definite road program, and if roads warrant a bond issue he would support it. Morgan urged the people to get out and vote on June 27, and told the audience to tune in on Dr. Lakes' Television pro gram on Wednesday and Thu rsday nights. A fried- chicken supper was served to the several hundred people attending the rally, Kenansville P.

The two officers had arrest ed Edward Baysden of Wallace for public drunkenness. There were sGme 4 to 5 hundred ne grces on West Boney Street, one block south of the main business in Wallace, at the time, which is not unusual. As the officers were taking the re sisting Baysden te the patrol car, another Negro jumped on Wkttake?'? hack ceding -him to fall to the grourti#-,*^ Negro, 'dentified as Ruben Lee Boney of Pender County, con tinued to strike and pommel the officer.

L. Richardson Preyer spoke to a group of sup porters Tuesday night at the ball park in Beula ville on the home stretch of his gubernatorial campaign.

Judge Preyer and Dallas Herring, chairman. State Board of Education. Wallace Petitions Circulated In Duplin Lools G. Greene, an attorney of Montgomery Alabama, was directing efforts m this section this week to secure names to petitions pledging support to Gov. George Wallace If Wal lace can secure 10,000 voters to pledge to support him in the November general election, his name will appear as a candi Preyer Talks On Tobacco Program L. Richardson Preyer, on the last lap of hss race for the Democratic rumination for gov ernor in the primary on Satur day, spoke to a group of sev eral hundred suporters at the Beulaville School ball park Tuesday night. Mayor Gerald Carr of Rose Hill introduced the candidate to the group. Preyer outlined a five-point attack on the tobacco problem "I will us my experience as a lawyer and judge to do all in my power to fight the Geor gia-Florida decision, working this summer and not wait un til after the November elec tion," he said. He warned of the heavy sur pluses as being a real threat to the program and suggested that "tobacco market hunters" be sent out to other nations to reduce the 3'/2 years supply we have stored. Research facilities were ad vocated by the Judge to test fully the effect of tobacco on health and to rid the plants of any harmful effect, if such exists. Heavy Rainfall Beulaville Area A storm that dumped herivy rain on the Beulaville area Monday morning probably cau sed some damage from wash outs and gullies and wet floors, but, no doubt, made many the pound of tobacco. The storm, accompanied by sharp lighting and heavy thun der, lasted about four hours, beginning about day, but most of the rain came within an hour and a half and measured some 4'ii inches. It came down so rapidly that it ran over the curb on some streets and swept through several stores. In nearby Kinston, passers said that nearly 7 inches of rain fell at this same period .?id cars stalled on some tweets. Water was four feet Lfpp in Kinston's new post of t rice building where a stopped drain pipe caused the rain to back and fill the building. Many streets had to be closed because of the high water. He said that farmers did not receive the full *?en'-f!t of the price support program and that while support was over 56c only a little over 53c was rea lized. He promised to lend his aid in securing full benefit of the price support. . New ideas and approach were needed in the tobacco program, and he promise el to work toward these improve ?nens in every way possible. Judge Preyer told his listen ers that he was running cu a program similar to the Kerr Scott program, a program which considered farmers, roads and the REA. He Claimed that such a Scott program was not run by chain bankers, con tractors and lobbyists. Warsaw Guard Re ceives Superior Rating me Warsaw national uuara Unit, Company C, 6th Batta lion, 119th Infantry, under the command of Captain Harvey C. Allen Jr., returned to its sta tion Sunday following two weeks of training at Fort Bragg.

Swimming Pool Stock Or Memberships Tne not summer aays are making the Rose Hill pool a most popular place.

Rose Hill and Island Creek Townships have two local races each. Kenansville, Magnolia, L'mestone and Faison Town ships each have one local race. J. B. Stroud, incumbent coun ty commissioner representing Dist. 5, composed of Kenans ville, Magnolia and Rose Hill, is fighting to retain his title a gainst contender J. A. (Albert) Pope. In the primary on May 30th, Pope received 602 votes against Stroud's SIS. Paul Ed Dail received 356 votes for this post, coming largerly from Kenansville Township. W. H. (Bill) Fussell received 200 vo tes, mostly from Rose Hill Township. Both candidates are now trying to hold to their first primary votes and pull over as many of the S56 votes cast for Fussell and Dail as possible. in aacmion to cms race ror commissioner. Rose Hill Town ship has a runoff in the con stable race where the incum bent, Benny Rich, is challeng ing the high man of the first primary, Lonnie Casteen Island Creek Township has two local races, one justice ot the peace and one for cons table. R. Frank Maready came out second to Bill Sholar in the May 30th constable contest in which there were five con testants, and asked for the runoff. Each township is allow ed three justices of the peace, but only two were able to gar ner a majority of the Island Creek vote in the first contest. Bob Powell and Gene Kelly. Garland Kennedy challenged the third man, Seba F. Demp sey, to the runoff. In the Limestone Township constable race E. Hampton Kennedy received 501 votes in the first primary to 289 for Tom Lanier and 218 for Her bert Penny. Lanier asked for a second chance against Ken nedy. Three ran for constable in Faison Township, but none re ceived a majority, so N. L. Tadlock will run Saturday a gainst Jimmy Kelly, who was high man in the first primary. The combined Moore and Lake vote in Duplin was 2 to 1 against Preyer for governor in the first primary with a total of over 8,000 votes cast. Obser vers say that there will be few er votes cast this primary than last, but the odds will remain about the same, as it is expect ed that most of the Lake vote will be cast for Moore. Duplin voters will have an opportunity to decide between Clifton Blue and Robert Scott for the second State position of lieutenant governor. In the first primary, Blue trailed Scott by about a thousand vo tes and John Jordan received a thousand, so Blue would have to garner all of the Jor dan vote in order to break even with Scott in Duplin. Blue, however, has been campaigning hard on the theme that he is experienced as a legislator and speaker of the House and that folks should vote for an ex perienced man against one of inexperience rather than just voting for a name. Since there are local contests in nearly half of the precincts of the county there may be enough interest manifested by the contestants to get out a fair vote, especially in view of the intense interest generated by the gubernatorial struggle. Beulaville Licenses At ? racer* meeting of the Town Board of Commissioners of Beulavllle, an ordinance was passed that each persoecper ating a business in the town of BeuIuriUe shall buy a Privi lege License.
