VQMpOaVNO.tt, JUNE 8.1967 KENANSWLLE, N. C. ] ^ PRICE 10?f PLUS TAX Trial & Error I Last week we had a story about red fox or foxes attack ing a fanner In the field. Guess what this week?????? Sandra Burnette of Kenans vllle tells me that she was riding in the new housing de velopment behind the hospital last Sunday afternoon. She saw what she thought was three black dogs, tumbling and play ing In the grass. Sandra got out of her car and clapped her hands and called to the dogs. When to her utter amazement she discovered they were three black baby bears. Sandra lost no time In getting back in her car and doing a disappearing act, as she told me she thought the Mother bear was nearby. To be sure, we don't have real live bears in the twon of Ke nansvUle. That Just goes to show you, we have everything to offer to Kenans vllle - come live here and try it - I couldn't resist that commercial. - "5wiP u' ? ? ? ?

' In the last SO years our nation has come to know a continuous pe riod of Military Involvement, and I am afraid we are ex periencing, maybe, theprologue of the III World War.

This has made us proud and also vulnerable....We have seen die restlessness among the young, Immaturity of thought regarding the sacredness of uie Government. There never has been the need before that our nation has now for Nationalism and statesmanship. In this world of chaos and instability our ad ministration is having to do things which make it unpopu lar/' Dr. Davis went further in saying that citizenship demands personal sacrifice, and urged the Democratic women of the county to have a more active organization to centime the OMttMMd la Page t 'I i' * i1 Dr. Rachel Davis of Klnston, who spoke to the Democratic Women of Duplin County a: a meeting last week.
