Warsaw harden Club
The Warsaw Garden Club
met at The Country Squire
for its regular monthly meet
ing. Mrs. Alene Marriner
had arranged a beautiful
fruit bowl for the head table.
Paintings by Rev. Midgett
were placed on the tables.
Mrs. Robert West was
hostess.
Mrs. Pat Broadrick called
the meeting to order and
Rev. Midgett had the
blessing. Mrs. Jesse Hall
reported on the project at
Whaley's Rest Home. Some
of the members planted 100
pansy bulbs and 200 crocus
bulbs at the Home.
Rev. P. D. Midgett. pastor
of the Wallace United
Methodist Church, pre
sented a program on water
color painting. He pointed
out that the object was to get
the pigment from the palette
to the paper in such a way
that it communicates that
which one wants. He also
paralleled painting with life.
Every painting is different
and every painter ap
proaches his painting in a
different way. Just so in life;
every person is different and
is painting something with
his or her life. Rev. Midgett
showed slides of the steps he
took in painting one of his
works. It was entitled "John
and Daddy." the name being
given by his son. It is
appropriately named since it
was a painting of Rev. Mid
gett and his son, John walk
ing on the beach. After a
time of questions and an
swers. the meeting was ad
journed.

Free meals in the schools. . .Here are some figures that
might interest you regarding the free meals in the Duplin
County schools. I have not compared all schools, but the
ones 1 have compared are as follows... .First off, there are
2,508 breakfasts served in Duplin County each school
morning on an average.. .Of these morning meals, 568 are
paid for, 1,694 are free, and 246 pay ten cents. . .The noon
meal.. .There are 7,179 served on an average day. . .3.350
are paid for, 3.206 are free, and 623 pay ten cents. .
.Percentage-wise, 67.5% are free at the morning meal.
44.6% are free at the noon meal. . .The prices. . .Lunch at
the elementary schools is 55 cents and 60 cents at Jr. and
Sr. Highs. . .Breakfast is 25 cents, and the reduced meal,
both lunch and breakfast, is 10 cents. . .An average family
of four, to get free meals, must have an income less than
$8,941. . .To get reduced meals, the income must be less
than $13,941. . .
Some school figures. . .Wallace Elementary serves 515
breakfasts, with 141 being paid, 44 reduced and 330 free. .
? Warsaw Elementary serves 447 breakfasts, and 65 are
paid for, 23 reduced and 359 are free. . .At Warsaw Jr.
High, there are 114 breakfasts served with 13 paid for, 2
are reduced, and 99 are free. . .At lunch, Wallace
Elementary serves 790 meals, with 342 paying. 72
reduced, and 376 free. . .At Charity, there are 346 served,
with 147 paid for, 19 reduced, and 205 free. . .At Warsaw
Elementary, 671 are served. . .45 are reduced, and 433
free, with the remainder paid for. . .At Warsaw Jr. High,
289 are served. . .109 are paid for, 8 are reduced, and 172
are free. . .At Warsaw Jr. High, 289 are served, with 109
paid for, 8 reduced, and 172 free. . .At James Kenan. 320
are served, 178 paid for, 8 reduced, and 134 free.. .To give
some comparisons, the Department of Social Services says
10,000 in Duplin County should be receiving Food Stamps.
. .In a Utopian society, everyone pays the same, everyone
gets it free or does without.. .Perhaps we should keep that
in mind while thinking about what is fair. . .If the buck
stops nowhere, then it should stop nowhere for all.. .
*****
There has been some desk moving going on at the
Personnel/County Manager's offices. . .Since CETA has
been given away, and the files moved to Rose Hill, it now
appears that the County Manager's secretary has a
secretary.. .At least she answers the phone. . .The County
Manager's Secretary's secretary, that is ? not the County
Manager's secretary.
?*???
An old story with a different twist. . .This one comes
from a prisoner in one of the state's correctional centers. .
When 1 was without funds, says he, or just didn't want to
pay for my meal, 1 played the con-man's game. . .1 would
first find me a nice restaurant, order the finest and best on
the menu, and as I was finishing up, he said, I would look
around the room and find a nice fatherly-type fellow. . .As
I finished my meal, I would go over, our eyes having made
contact several times before, and 1 would smile. . .When
the gentleman was approached, the young man would
begin his story, saying how the fellow looked so much like
his dad. who was dead. . .1 am sure you have seen me
looking at you. he would say, but I just can't help it.. .You
look so much like my dad. . .He died last month. . .The two
would talk for a few minutes and then the con-man would
say. "It would really make me feel good if you would let
me pay for your lunch (dinner, or whatever.)". . .Acting
embarassed. he would pick up the fellow's check, saying,
"When I get to the cash register and point your way, hold
up your hand so the cashier will know whose meal I am
paying for.". . .The fellow would, or course agree. .
."However, when the con-man got to the cash register, he
would tell the cashier that the "man over there is going to
pay for my meal." point over that way, and the man would
raise his hand to signal.'. .The con-man would give the
cashier both meal tickets and walk out. . .You may
remember that about a year ago. I told a similar tale using
a Warsaw lady and a Kenansville grocery store and a little
old lady. . .However, I thought the new wrinkle needed
airing....
As you may have noticed. In Kenansville Monday there
was a fellow with two wood-fired heaters on a pickup truck
near Carey's Body Shop. . .The fellow had one of the
heaters going full blast with smoke billowing out the stack.
. .He was selling them from the back of the pickup like a
farmer might sell watermelons, sweet potatoes or fresh
vegetables ? which in itself was amusing. . .He had quite
a few people around each time I went by. . .But the best
part was when I went by with Donna. . .She says, "Look at
that man!. . What does he think he is doing with that
heater, firing it out here in the open. . .Some people!". . .
.But as we were nearing the bank, the radio said the
temperature in the mountains of North Carolina was 39
degrees. . .However, the temperature sign at the bank
said 59 degrees. . .She look'd at the sign and said, "I
reckon that heater is doing some good here in Kenansville
after all." ... .Son-of-a-Gun....
