sentinel ^ VOL- XXXl NO. 34 KENANSVTLLE. N. C. THURSDAY AUGUST 20, 1964 PRICE 10* PLUS TAX Trial & Error Last week end my daughter **>d T,my brother, his wife and young son took a long weekend and toured the mountains of North Carolina It was truly a moat interesting trip, as I was the only one in the group who had been to the mountains, ex cept Margaret when she was a bit too young to remember. It would have been rich to have had a recorder in the car to record die reactions of the Kroup. When the Indians came tear ing in on the train at Tweetsie Railroad,, my young nephew, R1 George Mack, thought he was gone for good. Grandfather Mountain with the swinging bridge was most impressive to all of us. It is beautiful, formidable and brea th-taking, all in one mixed emotion. The view from the one-mile high elevation was in describeable. When I crossed the Swinging bridge, I lganced In-front of me and there was a young boy on his hands and knees, carefully creeping across. I almost joinedhim. "Unto These Hins" was a marvelous drama. The natural theatre is beautiful, the night wa? lovely and the atmosphere was so Uiet apd peacefule it was as if yo uwere cushioned a one little corner of Heaven. The dranft was well done and to me very s?<k^#; *>?? Found Gap^ Visibility was ter rible, and between the rain, the clouds and the cold weather, we came down the mountains looking like drowned rats. We npssed'toany things that we had planned to see because of the rah, but we did go up the elevator to Chimney Rock and mingled with the clouds and rain again. 1 must say that the coffee in the mountains is delicious. I did not get a single cup of cof fee which was not good. And the hospitality is most out standing. If everyone we met was a sample of hospitality, tourist trade In North Carolina should really grow. But now everyone in the group wants to go back next summer and see everything we missed seeing this time. | Ruth Dr. Rose To Conduct Beulaville Revival Hie Beulaville and area cnu rches will hear Hie Reverend Dr. Ben Lacy Rose during a week of revival services Sun day, August SO through Friday, September 4 at 0:00 each night.

President B. C. Mangum, key speaker during a series of fourteen tobacco informa tional meeting conducted by the farm organization, caution ed grower sto seek a way to get leaf supplies in line with demand. "If we are going to hold on to our tobacco program," the farm leader said, "we have to make production consistent with consumption, We can't indefinitely keep on going the way we are going." Mangum said the main prob le mfacing growers today is "an over-supply of tobacco and no place to sell it." After the 1964 sales season, the inventory of the flue-cured Tobacco Cooperative Stabiliza tion Corporaiton is expected to reach 900 million pounds of tobacco held under loan-an all fime high. , The cooperative recently reg istered a loss of $77 million as it closed the books on the 1955 and 1956 crop holdings. Burley growers, too, face a production and carryover whi ch, according to the forecast, will be th elargest on record. "As growers," said Mangum. "we have always been able to say that our tobaeio' program is sound and it works, and that it hasn't cost the taxpayers any money. We must make sure that we have that kind of program." The Farm Bureau spokes man said the tobacco program has "enemies in congress' who would like to use the unbalan ced supply-demand situation as a lever to oust the leaf prop plan. "Let's don't give them any more ammunition to sling back at us," he told growers. After the speech by Presi dent Mangum, an open discus sion was held on the problems of tobacco production and var ious methods suggested to bring some relief. President Mangum answered a number of questions for the farmers. 11 Nurses Graduate Friday Mrs. Peegy Hammond of Kinston; Mrs. Annie P.

TVin onnaei.iuuU.i ..U b,eT'Z opening of school tint year as they ever had been, -although a complete roster of teachers had been difficult to find and some trouble encountered in Ai ling last minute vacancies All places are now filled. Mr. John son reports, and officials and teachers are waiting and ready for Wednesday morning. "All of our school rooms have adequate lighting mow and every school rooir r has been sanded and na adJHV Mr. Johnson proudly reported, "and we rework and seal these floors every summer, so that the students will return to well-lighted rooms and clean and sanitary floors." Many teachers have told Mr. John son that this improvement in floors and lighting ranks high with them among all the im provements made in recent years in the schools. Willard Brinson. supervisor of buses in Duplin, says that the 131 buses are ready to ride. His crew has worked all summer here at the garaee in Kenansville to clean, repaint some, repair many and get them in first-class shape for the long winter ahead. High way Patrolmen checked the ?brakes, lights, sienals and other safety features Friday. Now. they are ready for the big job ahead of them.

"Do Not Stop Within 50 ft. Of This Bus." After years of be ing advised to "STOP" for school buses, it appears odd that signs now even carry the wording. "Do Not Stop." These signs bring about quite a lot of comment and many think that they should have been worded. "STOP beyond 50 ft. Of This Bus," that a positive admonition would have been better, and that no sign would have been better than one ree ding "Do Not Stop." This wording is destined to be mis understood and there will be comments about it. and event ually these signs will be chang ed. It Is understood that they were manufactured by prison ers a^t^ Wsen^an^ that
