There are a couple of TV
commercial* that were
appa(ently put together with
the!belief that all watching
TV have the brain capacity of
a 5-year-old. . .One is a beer
comnjercial and the other a
.MPak- sauce commercial. .
Wh( bfer commercial shows
peopfe playing a game with
vigor- never before possible
frorO the individuals. . .All
the "stops were pulled out. .
.They are a dynamo of
energy and their accuracy is
unexcelled by. even the pros.
. .So^they finish their game
all iweaty, drink a beer,
sayiiig. "You mean you play
thar hard for a brown bottle
jA befer?". . .He smiles and
Wys.^eaaaaa. . .But, did you
notice. . .The losers are also
drinking that brown bottle of
beer.C'.So' why were they
playing so hard. . .Even the
loseys got a drink...
As for the steak sauce. .
.This fellow is sitting in a
hamburger joint. The wait
ress brings him his ham
burger. . .Where is my C-3
#ak Sauce, he says. . -He
ks around the booth for
the bottle and sees none. .
.So he picks up his plate and
looks under it. . .Don't you
just know he is going to find
a bottle of steak sauce under
that place. . .Hamburger is
chopped up steak, and 1 want
my steak sauce to put on it,
says he. . He signals the
waitress and she brings him
a bottle. He douses it on the
^urger. turns to the fellow
Anting in the next booth and
says, Why don't you put
steak sauce on your chopped
up steak hamburger. . Don't
you do it at home. . .1 sure
do, says the fellow. . .He too
calls the waitress. . .If this
fellow is so excited that
everyone should have steak
sauce, why didn't he just
pais the bottle he was finish
? with across to the fellow in
next booth.
Superior Court Judge.
Michael Bruce of Mount
Ofive is finding Duplin
Ccwfnty women who are
called to be jurors in his court
haju a habit of telling it like
it is. If you don't want to
know, don't ask in Duplin. At
the dismissing of those called
to be on the jury at the close
^court. Judge Bruce has a
Wbit of asking those who
haye been called to serve, if
tnerc was anything they saw
or I heard during the week
thit-tbey did not understand
or did not like, or had praise
for.: When he asked the
question this past week,
Alice Ross stood up and said,
"ies, sir. You have made me
and'- others very uncomfor
table during this session.
The lady went on to say that
his gruff-talking to lawyers,
law enforcement people,
jurors, etc., his demanding
voice, rather than an asking
voice, made them uncom
fortable. At one point the
Judge threw a stapler be
cause it had no staples. Mrs.
Ross went on to say that
during her service on a jury,
in the jury room, those on the
jury had discussed how the
judge had made them feel
uncomfortable. . ."And we
did not come here because
we wanted to. . We were, at
some time, going to tell the
Judge of his treatment,
causing us to feel uncom
fortable. . .And at the close
of court he said that if you
have something to say, don't
go to the country stores and
tell it. Let's hear it here." . .
Well, he asked and he
heard. . .A month or so ago,
Judge Bruce asked another
jury being dismissed, the
same questions. This time
Betty Whaley stood and
questioned Judge Bruce s
remarks. . .Earlier in the
week, Jerry Willis of Wallace
was brought before the judge
on a probation violation.
Willis was to make payments
to the court of $25 a month to
pay court-related fines, fees
and so on. in the amount of
$1,068. However. Willis had
paid only $10 since his
sentence in December of
1980. When the judge asked
why he had not paid, the man
said he had no job and was
unable to find one. Judge
Bruce then said, "It is not
due to the failure of the
defendant to make a good
faith effort to obtain employ
ment. but is likely due to the
policies of the Republican
administration. . .He (the
defendant) is therefore con
tinued on probation. The
man was 16 years old.
healthy, had a package of
cigarettes in his pocket. .
.Seems to me, blaming it on
the Republican Party is not
quite right; neither is dis
missing it so lightly, and
Mrs. Whaley stood and so
stated.
Someone once said . . .If
we could see ourselves as
others see us. . .Judge Bruce
is getting it handed back in
Duplin County by some well
meaning people. I wonder if
Judge Bruce amends his
behavior to conform, or just
dismisses it as being all in a
day's work. If he does take
the answers he gets at these
informal discussions and
uses them, he is doing him
self. the court system, and
the public a favor. If not. it is
a waste of a lot more than
time. . .Case dismissed. . .
