Trial
& Error
Everyone ?*ems to be enjoy
ing "Indian Summer" so very
much this fall Perhaps it Is
because we had such u?lv wea
ther before, maybe it is be
cause we realize winter is so
* close at hand or it even could
be that one would have to be
in a terrible frame of mind not
to enjoy "Indian 9ummer."
RecentW some of us ?ot into
a discussion as to the origin
of Indian Summer - So we went
to the encyclopedia, which says
that it is a short nerod of
especially fair weather and
mild days which come in late
October or early November
while the leaves are turning
color and falling from the
trees. Indian summer has no
definite dates to begin or end.
The encyclopedia further
says that Indian summer fol
lows, the autumn'ts first period
of cold, wintry days and even
though the days get warmer
'the nights remain coo.l Throug
hout Indian summer, the sun
shines dimly and softly. The
sky turns a rich blue and al
ways appears gentle and hazv
near the horizon. An Indian su
mmer noon often has a soft
yellow or orange hue.
Indian summer is caused by
- ?
a lararr 11100* ui waim hwk?v?i
air. South winds carry theae
I warm air masses northward
over the country. During In
dian summer, the air mass re
mains stagnant, or still. This
causes the weather to remain
clear and mOd.
Hie origin of the name In
dian summer is uncertain. One
story says that the American
V settlers named the period after
the American Indians. Another
story says that the settlers used
the name because this period
of good weather gave the war
like Indians a chance to make
more attacks on the settlers.
Hie settlers also believed (hat
smokiness of Indian sum
mer came from fires that the
Indians built on the prairies
This period of fine weather
also appears in other parts of
the world. Europeans generally
call it Old Wives' Summer.:
sometimes. Second Summer.
The English call It All Hallow
Summer or St. Martin's Sum
mer. In Poland, the period last
tor three or four weeks, and
is called God's Gift to Poland
Yes, we all hate to see H
% leave.

Duplin To Receive Million
Dollars In Better
Schools Vote Nov. 3
FAVORABLE VOTE ON STATE SCHOOL BONDS WILL PRO
VIDE NEW SCHOOL FACIUTOES FOR COUNTY
If North Carolina voters approve the one hundred million
dollar bond issue for better school facilities proposed by the 1963
General Assembly in the November 3rd election, Duplin County
will receive 9988,151.38 to be used for construction of badly need
ed facilities. The proposal has received the support of all major
candidates of both political parties as well as the endorsement
of state and local school authorities.
For more than a decade Duplin citizens have exceeded the
average county of the state in the effort to provide adequate
facilities with local funds. All of the high schools have been con
solidated on a pay-as-you-go basis, but all lack space. New teach
ers and programs have been provided, but the county's schools
still lack adequate space for them. Manv of the older buildings
are in need of renovation.
This much-needed assistance from the state will give local
taxpayers a helping hand without raising state taxes, since the
bonds will be retired from funds available each year under the
existing tax structure of the state.
The proposal has received the unanimous support of. Duplin
County Commissioners. Board of Education and other leading citi
zens of the county, since it will help to meet the county's school
building needs without raising taxes. They have pointed out that
without such assistance the only other source of funds will bo
the county itself and the county has been doing better than the
average county already, but still has building needs that are net

Henderson
Announces
Emergency
Loans
Congressman David N. Hen
derson announces the Depart
ment of Agriculture has auth
orized the making of emergen
cy loans purusant to section 321
of Public Law 87-128 through
June 30, 1965 to eligible farm
ers in Duplin County. Other
counties in the Third Congress
ional District so designated are
Craven, Pender. Sampson and
Wayne.
Mr. Henderson stated that
any farmer desiring informa
tion about emergency loans or
other types of assistance avail
able through this agency should
get in touch with the local of
fice of the Farmers Home Ad
ministration serving his coun
ty.
This action was taken be
cause of extensive damage and
losses to this year's crops and
pastures as the result of almost
continuous rainfall from Octo
ber 9 through 12 which caused
the overflowing of rivers and
streams.
SAY YOU SAW IT IN
How We Voted
With an estimated 1,500 more
voters registered for this elec
tion than ever before in Dup
lin and a total vote of some
12,000 expected in the county,
the favorite pastime is guess
ing what the outcome will be
November 3. next Tuesday.
To help you with your esti
mate, we turned back through
some old Duplin Times and
came up with these figures to
refresh you rmemory.
The Stevenson - Sparkman
Democratic ticket in 1952 re
ceived 6,392 votes in Duplin
against 2,115 for the Eisen
hower-Nixon ticket. The only
precinct to go Republican that
year was Rose Hill by 6 votes.
The Democratic presidential
electors received 275 in Rose
Hill Precinct against 281 for
the Republican electors. At the
same time, Rose Hill cast 349
votes for William B. Umstead,
the Democratic candidate fot
governor, against only 175 for
his Republican opponent.
This same year, not a Repub
lican vote was cast for the
presidential electors in Smith
Precinct and only one vo^t in
Cabin Precinct. The Demo
cratic vote in Cabin was 216 to
1 Republican.
Four years later, 1956, the
vote in Dunlin was 6,931 for the
Stevenson-Kefauver Democra
tic electors and 3,110 for the
Eiesnhower-Nixon combination
The last General Election in
1960 saw 7,269 for the John F.
Kennedy-I.yndon Johnson Dem
ocratic electors and 2.953 for
the Nixon-Lodge combination
The race for governor in Dup
lin was about the same as the
presidential vote. Terry San
ford received 7.3t? against
Robert L. Gav;n's. 2.812
Mrs. Christine William led the
countv ticket with 8.493. Hti<*h
S. Johnson. Jr. received 8.382
and David N. Henderson 8.084.
Some knowledgeable folks
are saying that the Republi
cans will gain some 800 to 900
votes over four years ago and
that the increased registration
will gain some t noo votes for
the Democrats This would giv<?*>?,
the .Johnson-Humphrey ticket a
about 8,200 and the Gold water-- l|j
Miller ticket about 3.800 V
Whereas the Democratic aver . /
age over the past several elec
tions has heen 74 % of the vote,
this estimate would cut the
presidential vote for this year j
to 68%, and increase the Re
publican vote from 26% aver
age to 32%.
Now write your guess on a m
piece of paper and look at it f
again early next Wednesday
morning when enough returns
are in from this predirted <
heavy voting to know just how /
Duplin did vote.
But. be sure to remembei ,
to vote on Tuesday far your ?
choice otherwise your prodie
tton will be off by one vjte
