^Ufitllt jplliltr'' ^pfttM^ PROGRESS SENTINEL ' VOL. XXXXV NO. 36 USPS 162-860 , KENANSVILLE. NC 28349 SEPTEMBER 3, 1981 16 PAGES THIS WEEK 10 CENTS PLUS TAX Democrats To Appoint ?School Board Member The. Duplin County Demo cratic Executive Committee will meet at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, Sept. 10, to ap point a new member of the Duplin County Board of Education in the main court room of the Courthouse in Kenansville. The law requires that a Q successor to Mrs. Patricia Broadrick be selected from either Warsaw, Paison, Magnolia, Rose Hill or Kenansville precincts. Any Democrat from these pre cincts who is interested in filling this position is invited to come to the meeting and speak on behalf of their candidacy. Party Chairman Melvin Williams said, "The oppor tunity to fill a seat on the Board of Education points out the importance of Demo crats attending the annual precinct meetings. Forty of the 46 members of the executive committee were elected at the 1981 precinct meetings, while six were elected at the 1981 county convention." Williams said, "The Exe cutive Committee represents a good cross-section of Duplin County Democrats because its membership in cludes rich and poor, black and white, women and men. The number of votes each precinct casts at our meet ings is determined by that precinct's vote for Governor in the last general election." Catfish Grower Plans ?To Sell Fish Next Year Production of catfish con tinues to intrigue North Carolina farm pond owners, but few have actually at tempted the project and even fewer have succeeded. Glanton Holland of the Beautancus community,, about seven miles east of ^Faison in northern Duplin Countv. arows catfish in his pond "just for fun." However, the 67-year-old Holland plans to sell catfish next year. He plans to retire, which will leave him with more time to work with the pond and fish. He plans to double the size of his one-acre pond next year. He dug his pond out to a depth of 14 feet and put fish in it in March 1980. Some of the catfish now weigh five pounds. The pond also has some seven- to eight-pound bass and one pound perch. Holland believes depth of the pond had much to do with the livability df his fish. "Most folks lose their fish in shallow ponds. In hot weather a pond must be over three feet deep. The hot sun takes oxygen' out of the water," he said. Holland buys feed in 500 pound lots at 15 cents a pound for his fish. He said one pound of food makes one pound of fish. "You can't catch fish during the midday heat in hot weather. You fish in late afternoon or at night," he added. Holland feeds church Tfci * _.. k. groups, ball teams from Faison and North Duplin schools. Boy Scouts and Jaycees. They use his fish pond house and catch the fish without charge. "Fishing with a cane fish ing pole is an art," Holland said. "A catfish can break the pole. You must pull up on the fish as soon as he hits. Once a catfish takes a nose dive for the bottom, you've lost him. If you're not care ful, he will rip the guts out of i a small reel." i .Community Theater To Meet Persons interested in join ing the Duplin County Com munity Theater should attend a meeting Thursday, September 3 at 7:30 p.m. at the old Kenansville Elemen tary school (beside the ampi theater).

I Mrs. Son-Of-A-Gun Uses Baby Doll Bottle To Feed Tiny Squirrel Almost two weeks ago the squirrel's mother, while moving her babies from tree to tree, apparently dropped or misplaced this small furry fellow. He now makes his home in the sleeve of an old sweatshirt. He sleeps most of the time curled in a ball. If he gets hungry and his new mom is not around, he lets out a loud shriek. After a tug at the baby doll bottle, he likes his nose wiped with a soft tissue and sits perfectly still while Donna wipes his little nose. . Of course he insists on the I soft "puffs." If not in his shirtsleeve nest, he prefers to be in the pocket of the shirt Donna is wearing. Here too he curls up and sleeps, occasionally peeping out. His natural mother taught him some good houserules before she dropped him. When it is time for him to use the bathroom (Nature's call) he comes scurrying out of the shirtsleeve and over to the corner of the box to do his business. He sleeps all night, usually wanting to be fed around 9 a.m. and again around 1 p.m., then about four of five in the afternoon he wants to I be fed several times. So far he will only take milk ? no nuts. He fell from a large oak tree on Hill Street. William Martin introduced him to his new parents. If he lives to ; adulthood, we might get him 1 on a TV commercial for tissues. .
