the reasong is something like
"you csn't stand in the way of

why should progress stand in

should be the constvuetlow

is tax money paying them.
i was out to the KenansvHIe
Jaycees' turkey shoot Saturday
night. I didn't win a turkey, but
I did enjoy shooting those old
muskets. 1 thought they would
have kicked like a shotgun, but
they didn't. In fact, if I could
have kept the end of the barrel
from waving around. I could
have hit the bull's-eye. . .Of

about the loading of the muskets

saying, you won yourself a

Write Friends in Warsaw
Friends of Warsaw,
Joy and I have settled down
some from our very exciting and
most enjoyable trip to Warsaw,
and we want to try and tell you
all how impressed we were with
you and your town. It is easy to
understand why you felt your
town was worth fighting for
when it was belittled by the
radio station.
When we found out we had
won a 10-hour bus trip for one to
a ? mm * ? ' - - nfltkun swaiii
m ivwii wc misw iiuiiiiu^ iuuui,
rather than the weekend for two
in New Orleans, we were dis
appointed. as I am sure you can
all understand. And when Mrs.
Taylor first called and invited us
up, we were a little unsure of
what to expect. However, as
time passed and we talked more
to Mrs. Taylor and Others, we
began to realize that we would
probably have a good time. But
say that we had a good time, or
even a great time, would be very
much an understatement. The
trip far surpassed odr expec
tations. ?
Wc'live in the country and *
from a small town much f|i
same as yours. As we read the
many bad things which happen
daily throughout our country
met brought us to the happy
realization that the world is not
all bad and that there are still
plenty of good people around.
Not just a few of you. but all of
you welcomed us as if we were
dear friends returning to
Warsaw rather than people you
had never met. We enjoyed
every part of our trip, but I have
to say that the sincere hospi
tality of your town was the thing
which impressed us most. It was
the thing which brought a lump
to our throats that Sunday when
so many came to the airport to
say goodby and ask us to come
back. It is also the thing which
makes each of you a credit to
your town and your town a
credit to North Carolina and to
our Country.
We thank you all for every
thing you did for us; the fond
memories, the gifts and the
friendship and we will look
forward to the day when we see
you all again. We also hope that
if any of you ever come to
Leesville, S.C., you will come to
see us. You will always be
welcome at our home.
Sincerely.
Your friends
Joy and Joe Wilson
