INDUSTRIAL t AGRICULTURAL COUNCIL At a meeting of the Industrial and Agricultural Council of Duplin County on Thursday, February 10, 1966, William J. Griffin, Assistant Director of the North Carolina Departmen of Conservatlo n and Develop ment, presented an Interesting program on North Carolina's Industrial development. Mr. Griffin Indicated that therateof industrial growth In eastern North Carolina was very en couraging and he predicted that this section .would experience a substantial growth in Industry within the next few years. He especially complimented Dup lin County for the progress nade here In acquiring new In dustry during the two years since the Duplin Development Commission was set up. C. W. Surratt, President of the Industrial and Agricultural Council, reviewed the activities and efforts which had been made since the Duplin Development Commission had been set up during the latter part of 1963, and he placed a special empha sis on the accomplishments of 1965. His report follows; ANNUAL REPORT OF C. W. SURRATT. JR., PRESIDENT DUPLIN COUNTY INDUSTRIAL ? & AGRICULTURAL COUNCIL, INC. January 25,1966 After our Annual Meeting last year It was decided by the Board of Directors to continue with the same officers, and these were appointed as offi cers of the Duplin County In dustrial Development Commis sion by the County Commis sioners. Since almost all work l Is conducted by the Development Commission this report Is real ly the report of the Develop ment Commission. Also since the work on most projects co vers more than one year thl report must cover some things that occured In prior years. The accomplishmentsof the De velopment Commission are really the accomplishments of the people of Duplin County! because It has required the help of many organizations and In dividuals, and whenever we have needed help It has always been extended willingly. I would like to take this op portunity to thank the many people who have had a hand In our successes. First, our Executive Director, P. B. Ralford has done a fine job and his competence and the long hours he has put In have been | Invaluable. The Commerce and Industry Division the Develop ment Officers of Carolina Po j wer & Light Company, many ! other State agencies, and othei private organizations as well as Individuals have all been very good to us. we have had splen did cooperation from the County Commissioners. the other county officials, the repre sentatives of the various com munities of the county, news papers and other news media, and many other organizations and Individuals. Also. I would like to thank the members of the Board of Directors and the many committees we have ap pointed to help us with the work. Then, finally, our thanks to the members of this or ganization, for you were the ones who were willing to stick your necks out and work to j Dring about the Development Commission and it is you to whom the major credit is due. This has been a very suc cessful year for us. We have sent many letters with bro chures, made large numbers of contacts and have brought many prospects into the county. Na tional Spinning Company com pleted their fine plant early in this year and is now employ ing more than two hundred. Jan mark, Inc., was established about a year ago at Outlaw's Bridge and is no w employ ing 90 or more. Last month Reeves Brothers, a large tex tile company, decided to locate a fine new piant of 100,000 sq. ft. between Kenansville and Warsaw and work on the site is in progress. They are soon to start training at a pilot plant in Kenansville which will employ fifty people. Both Na tional Spinning Company and Reeves Brothers have a his tory of rapid expansion and we are hopeful that this story will be repeated in Duplin. We feel very flattered that these fine companies have decided to lo cated in Duplin and we wish for them every success. We feel that these, in addi tion to the expansion of exist ing industries and other bu sinesses, are sufficient to at least halt the out migration from Duplin County. While bringing in Industry from outside has Deen our main purpose, we have engaged in many other activities, several of which were led by commlt Cdntlnued to Page I Heart Sunday, February 20 The Duplin County Heart As sociation wishes to remind everyone that Sunday, Feb ruary 20, has been designated Heart Sunday. The society would also like to mention the progress that has been made In tne past SO years against di seases of the heart and blood vessels. Fifty years ago a child bom with some types of congentlal heart defects was doomed to an early death, or poor health and deatn In early childhood or early adulthood. Today by sur gical means many of these de fects can be repaired and the per son so cured can lead a normal life. Fifty years ago the cause of rheumatic fever was not known. Today by medical treatment the streptococcal sore throats which precedes rheumatic fever can be rapidly cured, thus pre venting rheumatic fever In many Instances, and If rheumatic fe ver has occurred, by medical prohylactlcs further attacks and damages to the heart can be prevented; and If the heart val ConUnued to Page t PROGRESS REPORT DUPLIN COUNTY MANPOWER SURVEY (Cypress Creek Limestone Smith Township) 2000 GOAL 1IM ION i '-zA f ood Frocessing Firm Is Interested In SE Carolina farmers Urged Indicate Interest A major food processing firm i has Indicated to North Carolina 1 State University and the North I Carolina Department of Con r servatlon ana Development, that they are very Interested In lo- i catuig a large food processing ] plant in Southeastern North Ca- i rollna.
