The only things left are a few Christmas trees, broken toys, odds and ends of Christmas decorations which did not get to the attic, tensil and angel hair which still stubbornly refuses to come up from the rug, and several extra pounds of weight that will have to be dealt with zeal ously. But all in all it was a nice Christmas with unusually warm weather. Did you get down to Wil mington to see the N. S. Sa vannah which was docked there for several days? The ship was beautiful and grace ful. A long white ship with blue trim. Inside it was furnished like a "swank" hotel.

Capt David McMlchael and the officers of the N. S. Sa vannah were welcomed and honored by Mayor O. 0. Alls brook and the City Council at a reception held while they were there.

Diarist Finds '64 Eventful Year For Duplin Folks The new year opens as a path untrod, a book unread, a flow er not yet having bloomed, a Jewel box with its gilts con cealed.

We see fame, power and wealth ahead with none of the perplexities of the past.
