i own Of Beulaville Wins
Property Damage
A Superior Court Jury decid
ed against a Beulavllle gas
station in their asking 110,000
damages for property absorbed
by the widening of Highway 24
through the center of Beulavllle.
The Town of Beulavllle had
offered $750 damages to Mr. and
Mrs. Calvin (Jack) J arm an, ow
ners of the gas station for
10 feet of their property at
the intersection of Kennedy St
reet and Highway 24.
The suit to recover the dam
ages consumed most of the term
of Civil Court, presided over
by Judge Walter Cocoon, and is
one of several suits pending that
arose from the widening of
Highway 34 to include four tra
ffic Ives, curb and gutter and
sidewalks.
The J arm ins asked that they
recover of the town of jfcula
vlll j. the sum v '^SlQ.OOO as. xn
pensation for the portSfil oT their
property being conducted by the
town and that the town be taxed
with the cost of the action.,
that the Jarmans have such
other and further relief as to the
Court seemed just and proper.
Representing the town of Beu
laville. Attorney Vance B. Ga
vin of Kenansville presented
a parade of witnesses of lead
ing business men from Beu
lavllle and other sections of
Duplin County who testified that
the widening of the highway th
rough the town had enchansed
the value of the property in
the town, especially property
adjoining the highway.
Appearing as a witness for
the Jarmans, Leo Brown, a
County Commissioner from the
Beulaville District, testified
that in his opinion the property
had been damaged by the high
way. and that tj,* highway had

Mrs. Clara Wilklns, left, conducted a panel discussion at the
Alpha Eta Ch^ner of the Delta Kappa Gamma Society at James
Kenan High School Wednesday night. Panel members are:

Maready, East Duplin; and Benny Wilson, James Kenan.
tuxureleacners uuest ut Delta Kappa Gamma
Future teachers from th
roughout Duplin and Sampson
County High School were hon
ored by the Alpha Eta Chap
ter of the Delta Kappa Gamma
Society on Wednesday night at
the James Kenan High School
Cafeteria.
A most intresting program
was presented in the form of a
panel discussion on Education,
and its values; personal, soc
ial, and economic. Mrs. Clara
Wilkins of the Wallace-Rose
Hill School Faculty conducted
the panel composed of Eck Wall,
representing James Sprunt in
stitute; Mrs. Robert Martin re
presenting Mount Olive College;
Benney Wilson, student at
J amss Kenan High School; F aye
Baker, senior and president of
the Wallace-Rose Hill Student
Council; and Alice Maready,
junior of East Duplin High Sch
ool.
It was very evident from the
discussion that many young
people feel very strongly that
the educational process used in
our high schools and colleges
has become stalemated an in
adequate to reach the vast ma
jority of young people seeking
higher learning. It was also
pointed out that the educational
curriculum did not offer total
development of the student in
the elementary and high schools
and that this development must
coma from the teacher, at his
or her descretion.
Young Pat Mathis drew hear
ty approval from the entire
group when he suggested that
the root of riots is the lack of
discipline in the home, which
carries over into the schools,
and that the one thing young
people resent most of all is
unfairness.
Admittedly our form of gov
ernment is good, but?many
things the younger generation
would change. They were re
minded that each generation has
felt rebellious toward the pre
vious generation and that with
all the faults of our govern- ,
ment the ballot box i- the only
? * * * * * * * *
thing between us and commun
ism.
While rioters are in vast
minority in our colleges and
universities, Mrs. Wilkins war
ned the high school students that
as college students they would
be asked to join. Her final
words were: "How will you
answer?"
Mrs. Garland R. Carr, sec
ond vice president of the Samp
son-Duplin Chapter, presided
over the business session.
A social hour followed with
the Duplin County Delta Kappa
Gamma members as hostess.
Dancing rounded out a full even
ing for the young and young- ar
neart.
Adult Education Program Gets Good Start In Duplin
The Adult Basic Education
Program sponsored by Janes
Sprunt Institute is attracting
many people in Duplin County.
More than 100 adult students I
have enrolled with their educa- '
t local backgrounds ranging
from the total non-readers up
to the Junior High reader level.
The ages of the students now
enrolled are from 21 to 84.
The Adult Basic Education
classes are now being held ?
classes), Wallace-Rose Hill (1 I
class), P.E. Williams School
(Magnolia - 1 class), Magnolia
Elehientary School (1 class),
Calypso Elementary School (2
classes).
James Sprunt Institute is
working closely with the Duplin
County Board of Education on
this program. The teachers
are recommended by the su
pervisor of the Duplin County
Board of Education. Most of the
teachers are reading instruiflf;i
tors in our public school^|fs- j/'J
Evelyn' Prtee, Mrs^MiMred
Lambert, Mrs. Ann Jackson,
Mrs. W.T. Raison, Mrs. Debra
Campbell, Mrs. Helen Rodgers,
Mr. Ray Roberts and Mrs. Lo
uise Smith.
Adult Basic Education is div
ided into two levels. The first
level is for those wljp are rea
ding and writing on a 1st thr
ough 4th grade level. The
second level is for these who
are reading and writing on a5th
through 8tn grade level. Stu
dents will attend classes until
they graduate from Level I
f or II. Students graduating from
Level I will then go on to
y fx v<?.
Level ?. After graduating from
Level Q the students will be
prepared to enter a high sch
ool program. Plans are now
being made to extend the M
ult Basic Education Program
at each class location to in
clude the materials covering
the 4 major subjects in a reg
ular high school program
(English, Math, Science, and
Social Studies). After compl
eting the high school program
a student would be tested. Upon
successfully completing the
high school program and test,
a student would be swsrded a
? ?'r>(
high school diploma from the
Duplin County Board of Edu
cation.
This would mean that studen
ts at each class location could
start as a non-reader In Level
I and attend school until they
have earned a high school
diploma.
Classes are open at all times
to new students. Classes meet
each Monday and Wednesday
night from 7 to 10 P.M. with -
the exception of Beulavllle
which meets Monday and Th
ursday nights from 6:30 to 9:30
