Trial
& Error
It was reported to me that
a father from die Warsaw are#
went with die Boy Scouts, or
rather met the Scouts, at the
Cliffs of the Neuse on Sunday
for a picnic. On getting ready
to go home he could not lo
cate his son. So he took his
little girl and went in search
of his son. The boy's mother
was waiting in the car aid
pretty soon she was Joined by
tier son, who was ready to go
home.
Guess what?? Two hours
later die father and his young
daughter finally found their way
out of the woods?and guess
who had a red face???
But they say the Cliffs of.
the Neuse is beautiful now,
and that is a pretty place In
"which to get lost and enjoy
the sights at nature.
The Boy Scouts from War-;
s aw hiked from Warsaw to the'
Cliffs. They left Warsaw on
Friday rftemoon and camped/
out on Friday aid Saurdq^
nights. The parents Joined thetu
sunday for a picnic lunch. Mack
to their amazement die Scoot*
were running aid playing wttt
they got to the Cliffs. War
saw Boy Scouts will be ready
for their pilgrimage to Bath
this summer. T

Notice
Because May 11 is formal o
pening day for Liberty Hall and
on that day we will be hosts to
Governor and Mrs. Moore, to
members cf the Kenan family
from all over the UnitedStates,
and many other distinguished
guests, we want our town to
look its best. Therefore, I
ask the cooperation of all re
sidents in helping to make it
so. If everyone will mow their
lawns, put garbage cans in an
lnconspicous place, and remove
unsightly trash leaps, this can
be accomplished with ease.
