I have already planned my
next holiday. It is solos to be
spent sitting on a Pepsi crate
StTaylor'asapereUff hi Mag
nolia. Stopping a minute the
<yh?r day we chatted aboi* the
peat, and Edna (Mrs. Wads
worth) recalled having visited
the scene of LiuardHfll School
which her father attended. MY
mother also attended that school
which was taught by the late L.
A. Beasky. A tribute to her
knowledge or the school, Idont
know, but never do I recall
asking my mother the defini
tion of a word that she did nc*
know. The Information she has
retained amazes me, and we
always attributed it to havins
attended school at "Llzzara
HAL"
? ? ? ?
Llzzard HOI Isn't a very fan
cy name for a school In our
way of thinking today. But down
through the years things chan
ge, even the names wnlch we
use. old you know that the first
Missionary Baptist Church In
this area was named BULL
TAIL? This was before Dup
lin county had a Baptist church
at all. and Bear Marsh wa:
organized In 1769. It Is a fact
that the church I have always
known as wells Chapel, loca
ted In Sampson County between
Harrells and Wallace, was or
glnally known as Built all Bap
tist Church. This church was
organized In 1755 and from
this church came Bear Marsh.

and thunder roared and every
body was sure It would rain
momentarily, but not the -

went around and closed all the

P. S. It did NOT rain.

just about the most sickening
experience of my newspaper
career was viewing the hall
damage In Duplin from Satur
day's storm. I know now what
Leroy Simmons meant a few
weeks ago when he said that he
was sure something would hap
pen to his tobacco because It was
the prettiest he had ever seen.
Many people In the area had the
same type of growth, and in Just
a few short minutes, total de
struction. i do hope **ch one of
them had Insurance to cover the
loss.
If you lost your drivers li
cense, I mean had them re

were reissued, would you abuse

Rose HOI officer at 110 miles

tained operators license only
the day before the arrest. His
license had previously been re

SENATOR
SAM ERVIN
? SAYS *
WASHINGTON - "A mood of
caution" sums up the feeling of
Congress as It heads toward
the home stretch and prepares
to go home for the fall elec
tions. Agreement which pro
duced a mass of new programs
last year Is not as apparent
as It once was.
This time Congress has ta
ken a less hurried approach In
dealing with programs proposed
to augment the "better life."
Irritations over new Federal
encroachments in areas once
reserved for final decision by
the "home folks" Is one ele
ment of the mood. Tight money,
lessened credit, Inflation, and
all of the concerns over the
conduct of the Viet Nam War
bring caution over legislation
for bold approaches to change
the habits and lives of people
who still have a reverence for
making their own decisions.
So guaranteed Incomes and
greater controls from Washing
ton are getting a second look.
New poverty, health, and civil
rights laws are getting more
study In Congressional hear
ings. A new cabinet levelTrans
port at Ion Department Is under
going study. Auto and highway
safety measures have much ap
peal but Congress wants to make
sure Government regulation
does not become Government
oppression.
The President's recommen
dation for four-year House
terms has received a luke
warm reception in the senate.
Electoral College changes have
brought new hearings but no real
agreement on a single plan to
win Congressional approval.
Wage and hour amendments
that won House approval are
experiencing drafting diffi
culties over which new groups
of employees to include and
which to exclude. Farmers ex
press concern over inclusion
of agricultural employees and
want higher price supports to
make up any new labor costs
added by the proposal.
Mounting war costs have
brought restraint on domestic
spending proposals unless they
fit into categories that the Ad
ministration deems "must" le
gislation. Still the cut-backs on
domestic programs are mild,
and a real effort to prune pro
jects of doubtful values does
not have the overall support
needed to hold-the-line on Fe
deral spending.
The pull and tug of war and
inflation appears to be the re
straining factor in dealing with
a multitude ot programs still
on the Congressional calendar.
And there is the spectre of a
tax increase if Federal spend
ing gets too much out of hand.
and a realization that new Fe
deral aids do cost money which
must ultimately be met by taxes.
There Is a feeling abroad In
the land that pouring more
Treasury dollars Into every
sector of the economy does not
produce the automatic results
once predicted. As often as not
aids breed new problems which
more dollars do not rectify.
So the country and the Con
gress appear ready to examine
panacreas a little more care
fully, especially when paterna
lism has its limits too.
Duplin County Churches
Dobson Chapel Church
By: Ruth wells
Dobson Chapel Church Is lo
cated above six miles south
east of Kenans vllle on Highway
SO, and has been serving the
people of the area for more than
one hundred years.
A few pecnle with a Chris
tian out look felt the need to
meet together and worship. The
origin took place in the hard
years of the Civil war, and at
that time meeting places were
few and far between. A "brush
shelter" served as the meet
tog place for the first four years
Tnls shelter was located just
?cross the road from the pre
sent church.
Church letters show tills
church was organized to 1864.
in 1867, George S. Best, a na
tive of Warsaw, came to servi
the church as Its first pastor.
The name of the church was
adopted to the second meeting
of die church body at which time
delegated were elected to the
Eastern Association and plans
were made to ask for admis
sion to the Association. Some
of the church families in 1867
were Boatlcks, Teacheys, St
rlcklands, Oobsons, Williams.
Roachelles and Tuckers. Many
of the^curnia metnbara^are da
I 'ocittioni.
meeting was remembered by the
delegates from the church for
that year. As more families
came Into the church the need
for more Sunday School rooms
was realized. For almost a
decade Rev. N. E. Gresham
worked faithfully with the
church and guided It Into great
growth. More Sunday School
rooms were added to the build
ing. The rooms were completed
the floors finished and ready
for use.
In the early hours of the
morning of April 1949, the
church Durned to the ground.
Much sorrow was shown, but
with the guiding light of God,
and the late Rev. Mr. Gresham,
the people of Dobson's chapel
started quickly to rebuild on
die same she, Sunday School
and Church services were held
in a small tenant house be
longing to Mr. BUI KUpatrlck
during the hard days of rebuild
ing the church.
Youns and old alike worked
to rebuild the church. The peo
ple combined their time and ta
lents to work and replace the
building In which services were
held as soon as the building
was "roughed In." It was a
familiar sight to see dinner
served by church ladles and
y?ng girls, to the men folks
who had gathered to put a days
work on the church.
1- < t r ? t.li ? U . f: '? a'
The work was completed and
ready for the Association In
1952. With scores of young peo
ple with Inquiring minds, the
adults saw the need for a place
for the young people to get to
gether for fellowship and learn
ing. An educational building
wnlch serves this purpose was
completed in 1959.
February of 1966 sawthecom
pletlon of an $18,000.00 parso
nage, which has since been oc
cupied by the Rev. Mr. E. L.
Euand, who came to Dobson
Chapel from the Second Bap
tist church in Henderson. The

Sanford Cites States
Role In Poverty War
In an article published this
week in the Duke Law School's
"Law and Contemporary Pro
blems" quarterly, former
North Carolina Governor Terry
Sanford called on state govern
ments to redefine and revitalize
their role In the war on po
verty. He said there seems to
be less and less definition of
the part the states should play,
and an increasing fuzzl
ness In the relationships be
tween all levels of government
In this program.
He maintains this fuzzlness
can only be harmful because
the states are already Involved
In the problems of poverty th
rough their welfare, education,
health, employment and other
services, and to neglect them
would be a serious waste of
vital resources.
The article is one in a ser
ies of reports on state govern
ment from the "Study ofAmerl
can states" Sanford is conduct
ing, with grants from the Ford
Foundation and Carnegie Cor
poration, at Duke University.
Sanford said the war on po
verty had been slow in coming
and that effective action has of
ten been hampered by a number
of myths we all shared about
our economy, our society and
ourselves.
The first myth Is the faith .
"that our economic system will
eventually overcome the ob
stacles we face. There ar some
obstacles our system alone will
not overcome, Sanford said.
"Increased opportunities do not
help those who are unable to
take advantage of them." ,
The Second is the Horatio
Alger ntyth ? "This means," 1
Sanford said, "that poverty and
unemployment are a result of
choice, not a condition of so
ciety - - a manifestation c '
laziness, not economic isola- 1
tlon," He said the depression 1
seriously Jolted this belief when ?
it left millions of Americans
jobless through no tault ot their I
own.
The third is the status quo 1
myth ? things are fine as I
they are and we only need ml- I
nor adjustments in some pro- "
grams to reach the few people
who need help. On the contra- i
ry Sanford said, the fact that I
government has not been flexi
ble and alert to change has only
added to the problems.
The fourth myth revolves
around "the ready tendency of
Americans to believe that mo
ney will solve all our pro
blems. Too often the initial
governmental action has been
a reflex to a symptom rather
than a thoughtful response to
the actual problem..." without
the necessary planning through
which we can anticipate crisis
and act effectively.
Sanford outlined four speci
fic types of activity in the po
verty program for which the
states are uniquely suited.
First a state agency should
help interested communities
and agencies understand the
sometimes mystifying federal 1
procedures and pronslons so
they may apply for anti-poverty j
frants. Second, the agency
hould stimulate action from the 1
local governments and agen
cies, ana iaKC trie initiative in _
getting state-wide efforts under
way, not Just wait to be called f
on. [[
Third, the state must coor-1]
dlnate all the programs which
focus on local governments'
anti-poverty efforts. Meaning
ful coordination hasn't occurred )
at the federal level, Sanford (
said, and communities don't )
have the personnel or resour- Y
ces to do the Job. since the
state grants authority for all
programs, and administers ma
ny of them, the states, and par
ticularly the governors, are
in the best position to achieve
coordination between them.
Fourth, the states need to
begin long range planning and
setting of priorities In the de
velopment of the various pro
grams, Sanford said. "Pro
blems need definition and pin
pointing...trends need tobedls
cerned. ..ptogramj llkeAppala
diia mus| M meshed with the
poverty program goals and
means to these goals must be
set...(and) priorities and timing
of ^ activity should be suggest
Sanford said; "If the states
ca n help abolish poverty in
America, they will have contri
buted to a more civilized na
tion. And by fueling the light
of hope lor millions ot Ame
ricans, they canglveflbertothe
American dream and set a new
course for themselves as ac
tive partners In a revitalized
federal system."
^?l?ALENDAR OF
Philip A. Fleger, chairman
of the board and president of the
Duquesne Light Company says,
'"...that government oftnepeo
ple, by the people, for the peo
ple, snail not perish from this
earth' has greater significance
today than every before, just
as we resist foreign sources
that would destroy our freedom,
we must also resist the apathy
which would cause It to crum
ble from within....."
William Howard Taft said;
"To obey the law Is to support
democracy, if every man thinks
every law must suit him In
order that he shall obey It, he
does not support democracy
but destroys It. The basis of
good government lies In the
fact that the people are willing
to obey the law as they have
determined It to be."

DEAR MISTEH EDITOR:
In a manner of speaking, I
reckon you'd have to say the
' session at the country store Sat
urday night was took up most
ly with Guverament figgers and
grass roots filosophy.
First off, Ed Doolittle allow
ed as how the Guverament was
starting a new fiskal year and
he had brung along a few Ag
gers fer the fellers to chew on.
Incidental, Ed is fetching
more and more newspaper clip
pings to the Saturday night ses
sions and the feller that runs
the store reported he was going
to git Ed one of them brief cas
es like the city folks carries
and give it to him fer Christ
mas.
Anyhow, Ed reported the fis
kal vear ended in bad shape fer
the Guverament The Congress,
he announced, had raised the
public debt limit to $332 billion
to take care of our shorts and
that we was short in about all
departments. Ed explained we
got a item called the Gross Na
tional Product that was the to
tal amount of everthing bought
and sold in the country and that
the long-time plan fer a balanc
ed budget in the Great Society
was fer the Internal Revenue
Service to collect in taxes the
same amount as the Gross Na
tional Product. He claimed they
wasn't no other way to ever bal
ance the budget unless they
quit spending so much money in
Washington.
Clem Webster was defending
the Great Society, allowed as
bow wages was going up and up
ind ever body was paying more
uid more taxes bat was still al
loying great prosperity.
But the storekeeper allowed
is bow the prices of things was
going up faster than wages and
we was headed fer inflation and
bust. He said the White House
raised the roof when steel went
jp $2.90 a ton but be had done
10me figgering by the pound
ind in the last 12 months the
wholesale price of bacon had
gone up $500 a ton and pork
rhops had gone up $1,100 a ton
ind the White House aint done
rothing about it.
But Clem still claimed folks
rouldn't be hurting much in a
rountry where they spend more
>n tobacco that's bad fer the
health than they do fer hospital
rare, and more at beauty par
ors than fer doctor bills.
This whole thing is too com
ilicated fer me, Mister Editor,
but it looks like we was starting
rat the new fiskal year with the
juvernment having us hooked,
[t makes me recollect the story
ibout the preacher that was
-aising funds to burn the church
nortgage. He told everbody in
he congregation that would con
ribute $20 to please stand up.
[hen he turned to the church
irganist and ask her to please
>lay the Star Spangled Banner.

Minister's 9
Desk ((
By : I). E. I* it rkrrsoiAl
V\ nrsaw (I
A small boy had been nau
ghty and had been reprimanded.
His mother told him he must
get a whipping. He fled upstairs
and hid In a far corner un
der a bed In his room. When
the father came home, the mo
ther told him what had hap
pened. He went upstairs and
proceeded to crawl under the
bed toward the youngster, who
was still In hiding. Exicltedly
the boy whispered, "Hello, Pop,
Is she after you too?"
Sometimes things get pretty ~
strained around the house. Dlf
ferences creep In between the
members of the family. Dls
S;reemems crop up that are
vlslve in nature. When this
happens the home tends to go
to pieces and individual mem
bers have to go hide under some
bed of protection.
Many things divide a home
and rob It of Its spiritual sig
nificance ? envy, jealousy,
CI, selfishness, etc. But per
the greatest sbi that can be
created In the home and the
greatest crime that can be per
petrated against It Is not to
love. When two young people
get married and found a home
they usually bring a great deal
determination to It to continue
In the attitude of love. The
bride, swept off her feet and
carried away on a cloud of
love , little realizes that love
cm be allowed to dissipate.
?fhe'Wbom. who has Wonty
for nils beautiful bride, often
falls to see that grave respon
sibilities lie just around the
corner. Adjustments have to be
made, and In a hurry. When they
are not made the cloud of love
suddenly disappears and dark
ominous clouds of trouble ap
pear on the horizon.
What about your home? Do you
have enough love there to en
able victory over problems
and burdens? Are you willing to
love at all costs? The New
Testament describes the hi
ghest type of love as being
willing to love even when 1
Is hard to love, being willing
to love not for our own bene
fit but for die benefit of others.
A home needs this kind of love.
If It has it, It can be a colonv
of heaven. If It does not It
cm be hell Itself.
What Is home? it Is a world
of strife shut out?a world of
love shut in. it Is the only spot
on earth where faults and fall
ins of fallen humanity are hid
den under the mantle of cha
rlry. It Is thefather's kingdom,
the children's paradise, the mo
ther's world. It Is the place
where you are treated the best
and grumble the most.
