& Error
Bob Herring, who is renovat
ing Liberty Hall, took us on a
tour of the house Monday after
noon. It is really getting ex
citing now. They were puttUigcn
the first coat of paint in several
rooms. The mouldings, which
are beautiful, have all been put
up. All of the mantels are now
up and the hearths are white,
rose and black marble, in the
different rooms.
It looks now as if it will
not be too long before they can
start putting Furniture in die
rooms. It was most exciting.
In one af the window panes
is an inscription which must
have been cut into it with ,
diamond by Emily Kenan, "Tell
me not in mournful numbers,
life is but an empty dream."
It has been, and still is, along
and tedious" project. I told Bob
he should write a book on re
storing old houses.

Well, for you mothers and
fathers, who have not had the
experience yet - you really
have something in store for you
when you take your daughter to
college. The first year is bad
enough, but by the second year
they nave figured they can take
everything in the house but the
kitchen stove and fit it in one
bed room shared with another
girl. After you have loaded die
I] car to the poirn thatnothing else
could possibly be squeezed in.
md only leave enough room for
the driver, the passenger and a
peep hole to see out the back
window - then off to college
to unpack. Vor two years my
daughter has been on thlra
dwrn, die sens you go. Then
start loading the car wain with
the things mat would net get
into the room. You do all of tnls
to the squeals of greetings as the
girls meet one another for the
first time since last spring.
I ran into Marshall and Jean
nie Brock who lived in Kenans
vtlle many years ago. I was
surely glad to see them. They
were getting their oldest grand
daughter, Jennie, in school at
Meredith. Jennie is a second
year studnet also and her pa
rents live in Ohio.

Football Contest Begins This Weelf
The Harmon Football Fore
cast, one of the country's most
popular sports features, will j
appear In The Duplin Times
each week during the 1967 Foot
ball season, starting September
14. 1967.
In addition to forecasting the
results of some 170 games each
week - as well as the New Year's
Day bowl games - Harmon will
rate the top 20 college teams
in the nation each week be
ginning with the forecast for
September 30th. (If applicable:
His American Football League
and National Football League
pro selections will also be pub
lished each week.)
Starting his eleventh year of
football forecasting, Boo Har
mon has seen the publication
of his prognostications grow
from three newspapers in 1957
to over 200 newspapers. His
rather fantastic football "snow
ball" now appears in news
papers of all sizes....dailies,
weeklies, and college publica
tions...in 47 states.
Harmon uses a formula to
arrive at the rating for each of
the more than 650 football teams
that he follows each falL The
score that is predicted is sim
ply the interpolated difference
between the numerical rating of
one team andthe numerical rat
ing of its opponent.
And. though boasting a college
forecasting accuracy equal to
any in the nation, Tne Harmon
Forecast makes no wild claims
of unbelievable guessing per
centages. Harmon has a proven
accuracy over thepast ten years
of between 75.2$ and 77.9$.
His pro forecasting average Is
between 68.3% and 70.1%.

James Sprunt Gets Replica of Gemini
Mr P W H^locc .
?? ? ivoy] wi wiing
instructor at James Sprunt and
a consultant with the National
Aeronautics and Space Admi
nistration (NASA), has on loan
from NASA a Gemini Space
Craft.
An exact replica of the Ge
mlnls, it is one third the size
of the crafts that were used to
prove man's ability to perform
complex maneuvers in outer
space.
Through the manned Gemini
program, man has reached
new demensions of professiona
lism and accomplishments in
the exploration of space. Highly
trained astronauts effected the
first docking with an orbiting
spacecraft, established a new
altitude record of 851 miles,
and finally overcame the dif
ficulties of extra vehicular ac
tivity.
When the Gemini program
ended with the splashdown of
Gemini XII on November 15,
1966 American astronauts had
amassed more hours of space
flight than the total flying hours
- both of training and combat -
of many World war H pilots.
James Lovel traveled 7,300,000
miles in 431 hours in Gemini
VU.
While Gemini missions in
eluded a number of experiments
in astronomy, biology, and other
sciences, their major purpose
was to develop the tools and
