> A,onfl flBL the Way >y Imily Ktllette | Duplin Th?atr? Production Sot i For Noxt Woek * The Duplin County Com munity Theatre is gearing up to present its third produc- ( tion, a readers theatre, be ginning May 6. The cast will perform three presentations for the public and then visit ! the county high schools. The community theatre ( will present "Lipstick and Lollipops," eight sets from ^ different readings varying ( from Jean Kerr's "Ten ( Worst Things About A Man" '( to "Elephant Child" by j Rudyard Kipling, and "Ad- ( ^vice To Young Parents," Written by Duplin's Jo ( Cameron Jones. Jo Jones ( will also be working with "Lipstick and Lollipops" as artostoc director. Directing the production is Jack Ire land, a two-time star as leading actor in past commu nity theatre productions and star among the local cast of the outdoor Drama. "The liberty Cart." w Together, Ireland and Jones performed the leading roles in Duplin's theatre production of "On Golden Pond." which ooened in conjunction with the 1981 Farm-City Fair. Director of Duplin's "On Golden Pond," Winnafred Moseley and ac tress Margo Jenkins will appear in the up-coming community theatre produc tion. Veteran from "The Libert Cart" and community theatre stage, Betty Chest nutt will also be among the flood of new faces coming to perform in "Lipstick and Lollipops." According to director Jack Ireland, not only have the actors from the community theatre's first two produc tions returned, but an addi tional 10 to 15 people of varying ages have joined the cast of dedicated actors. The community theatre began in 1981 with a spring produc tion of "Aaron Slick from Pumkin Creek" and followed with a fall debut of "On Golden Pond." Each production has drawn larger crowds, with "On Golden Pond" closing to an audience ^f 75 Duplin citizens. W Until "Lipstick and Lolli pops," the old Kenansville Elementary School Audito rium had "been the home of the community theatre pro ductions. but the up-coming * ? ...111 I? ^IC^CIIldllUII Will uptll III llic Hoffler Auditorium on the James Sprunt Technical College campus. The production will be held May 6 and 8. opening nightly at B p.m. The up-coming per formance is tentatively sche duled to travel to the Duplin high schools and present different parts from the eight sets of "Lipstick and Lolli pops." The production is also different from the com munity theatre's past perfor mances; the drama is a readers theatre. This involves the story-telling of a Barrator as well as the work *f actors to perform the roles. Like folks in Duplin County have done in the past, they are doing again ? dedicating time and talent to perform the arts locally. Duplin folks can first be praised for their efforts and production of "The Duplin Story" in 1949. and again in 1950, and from Bie outdoor adventure in theatre, came the basis for ? I "The Liberty Cart" outdoor drarfia which debuted in 1975. Both outdoor produc tions formed their base with local actors. "The Duplin Story" employed no profes sional actors and received statewide acclaim by the end jf the 1950 production, which starred only Duplin citizens. Ioday, Duplin's story con tinues in "The Liberty Cart," which uses more than 100 local actors as well as professional performers and production personnel. And, "The Liberty Cart" closed its 1981 season after playing to a Full house almost each night. Duplin citizens support the lew drama organization, the community theatre needs tctors and production per sonnel, but no performance s truly complete without the most important part ? an sudience. The community heatre needs you ? give hem your attention. Open Letter AN OPEN LETTER TO THE PEOPLE OF DUPLIN COUNTY April 19, 1982 The Warsaw Jaycees are concerned about the pro posed constitutional amend ment which would change the term of office of our legislators from two year terms to four years. We feel that the citizens of our state would best be served by the system as it stands today. Considering that ours is the only state in the union where the governor does not have veto authority, a change to a four year term for our legislators could create a dangerous inbalance of power in our government. Therefore, at our meeting of April 15. 1982, The Warsaw Jaycees voted unanimously to support the present system of election our legislators. We welcome any group or individual to come before our members and express any discnting opinion they have. Please send any requests to: The Warsaw Jaycees, P.O. Box 806, Warsaw, N.C. 28J98. Sincerely. Dennis Perry President The Warsaw Jaycees Cucumber Pest Alert Update Planting is progressing fairly well in Duplin County with soil temperatures . ranging in the mid-60s which are optimum for cucumber seed emergence. There are a great deal of slicers already up and progressing nicely, with pickling varieties not far behind. In areas where corn has been planted and atra zine used, some injury may occur due to the sand which has blown from these treated fields. Atrazine injury can be identified by a marginal burning of the cucumber leaves which often involves a downward cupping of the leaves, as well. With time, plants should grow out of this and continue growing and produce a good crop unless a great deal of injury has occurred. With many cucumber varieties already up. growers should be on the lookout for aphids. flea beetles and cu cumber beetles, which will be feeding on young de vcloping plants. Flea beetles and cucumber beetles feed on developing leaves, while the cucumber beetle may girdle plants at the soil line killing them. Both beetles may be controlled by appli cations of scvin at a rate of one pound active ingredient per acre. Aphids feed on developing shoots and mav be controlled by thiodan if a soil insecticide was not used at planting at a rate of 8-lb ounces of active material per acre. r Kenansville News Highway Patrol Wives The Highway Patrol Wives of Troop B, District 4, met Sunday in the home of Mrs. Kay Autry, Route 1, Ke nansville.

Jo6 Lanier Son of A It has been almost three years now that Duplin County has had a county manager. A practically new board of commissioners in 1979, with, I think, good intentions, decided to put Duplin County on the county manager system of govern ment. However, as politi-' cians sometimes do (make mat most times), they lound themselves with a system that was bright and shiny ? one they bragged about and actually convinced them selves of its good merit. If they had doubts about its effectiveness, they soon lost those as they had to put up a front to make their decision look good, by saying it was good. . .Head doctors say that if you say something long enough, you will begin to believe it. even if it is not so. . .This system will cost Duplin County taxpayers a salary of $26,000 for the manager and a little over $11,000 for one of the office secretaries this next year ? if no salary increases are granted. . .The fact that seems to be forgotten, is that this county operated just as effectively, efficiently and economically in 1978 as it did this past year. . .Four years ago. the Duplin County government operated just like it did this past year. . .Let me say that one more time. . .Four years ago. the county had no county manager and it operated just like it did this past year. . .The commissioners, those elected by the people, did no more foup vears ago than they did this past year. . .They did know more about the day-to-day operation of the county, however, four years ago. . .Four years ago the county accountant did the things now being done by a county manager. . .1 believe that had the commissioners voted to hire a secretary for the accountant to do the minor duties needed for the commissioners to feel im portaig. and left the county manager system on the shelf, the county would have been many thousands of dollars better off than it is today . . -Just in salaries and office management. Quite frankly, the system has thus far been like white sidewall tires on a car. Black walls are cheaper and will take the car everv nlace that the white sidewalls will, but they don't look as good. One other note. . .1 have been attending county com missioner meetings for more years than I like tu remem ber. I have heard all of them say how demanding and time consuming the job is ? how you no thanks ? how every decision makes some one mad ? and in general what a sony job it is. . .But, during all the time I have been attending, only two have voluntarily walked away. . .They may gripe, but -4 the only way to get them out ? - is to vote them out. . .Thjey won't quit. . . .Son-of-a-Gun.
