Country Squire Sold To Cotes & Quinn Co.
Charles F. Cates & Sons, Inc., and Quinn Wholesale
Company, Inc. have purchased The Country Squire and
the Vintage Inn. This includes all assets of both
operations, with a fifty percent ownership in the
corporation for each. William Hennessee is presider/t,
? Milford Quinn vice-president, and Gerald Quinn the
V secretary-treasurer. An operations corporation was also
formed to operate the restaurant. This is owned by
Cates Quinn Corporation and Scotty and Iris Lennon.
Officers of this company are Scotty Lennon, president;
Milford Quinn, vice-president; and William Hennes
see, secretary-treasurer. Milford Quinn said, "This
new company will maintain and operate The Country
Squire and the Vintage Motel in the fashion that we
knew it to be <n the beginning. We feel these two
establishments are important and valuable contribu
tions to Kenansville, and to Duplin County, and that
^ this area needs the facilities badly. Our intentions are
to have the most outstanding restaurant and motel in
Eastern North Carolina. Both Cates and Quinn
Company use these facilities for entertainment and
I
sleeping accommodations for most of our out-of-town
guests." Quinn went on to say, "The bquire has been
here for 23 years; we want to upgrade it as it was when
Ji? West ran it. It has run down. Hugh (Scotty) and Iris
Lennon will run the operation, and Joe West will
assist." Bill Hennessee stated the new company will be
looking into beginning a luncheon. "We want to see
what is really needed ? a quick lunch for those who
have only an hour, or a club luncheon for those who
want to meet and eat for a couple of hours ? or even
both. The new company took over operations today
(Monday. Oct. 1st). We are going to run a quality-class
restaurant. We need to get the feel of things and we
will be operating the same hours for a while." There is
an agreement between Cates and Quinn that if either
company sells, it must sell to the other. This was
pointed out Monday night as Milford Quinn and Bill
Hennessee appeared before the Kenansville town
board asking for a satellite annexation. The board gave
their nod of approval for the new company to begin the
necessary paperwork for the annexation.
SON OF A GUN
by Joe Lanier
11 appears the Board of Trustees at
James Sprunt has decided to put the
new-found money from the Legisla
ture into a new student services
center on the James Sprunt campus
? at Kenansville. They have also
entered into a contract with Duplin
County schools to use the Wallace
Rose Hill High School buildinu and
some of the equipment for instruc
tion during the off-school hours such
as in the afternoon, evenings and
weekends. Also in Wallace, they
have entered into a lease agreement
with the Wallace Recreation Depart
ment to use rooms at the building at
Clement Park. Most of the use of the
school will be for education, and the
^ park building for hobby-type in
struction. This, to me, seems to be a
wise and sound solution at the
present time. . .The next problem for
James Spruni is the naming of the
Dean of Students, a position just
vacated involuntarily by Gene
Ballard. We are all waiting to see
who won. . .Which side at the
college. . .And, there still remains at
least two sides on campus working to
get the power. . .The weaknesses
A and strengths that were there two
years ago are very evident still. .
.And the strong is not always the
right. . .As those forces on campus
push and pull and struggle, let us
hope the board of Trustees insists
they are the leaders and the winners
in this will be the people of Duplin
County, since they are in the other
two programs I mentioned at the
beginning. We shall see in the very
near future who is named to this very
important position. . .This position is
probably the most important position
at the college. As far as benefits
received, ii even ranks above the
president. . .It definitely is not a job
to pass on to just anybody. ..
*****
I have been in tending to say it, bu t
seems I would run out of space
before 1 got around to it. . .So here I
will place it, near the beginning, to
get it said. I have been critical of
what, to me, seemed to be procrasti
nation when winter storms come to
Duplin. . .And the school buses are
not stopped soon enough. . .School is
not turned out soon enough. .
.Parents and students are not told
soon enough. . .Icy roads and young
drivers, or old drivers for that
matter, frighten the dickens out of
I
me. There is no human way to
control a skidding bus or auto on ice.
. .But, what 1 wanted to say is. .
.What a great job was done during
the summer storm Dianna. . .School
was turned out before the high winds
struck. . .Luckily they did not. . .We
knew in plenty of time there was no
school the next day, and when it did
return to normal, we thought, and
we found out, water was rising to
flood highways, and school was
turned out again without any hesita
tion. . .1 believe in taking no chances
with these youngsters. . .If there is
any doubt, stop it. Be safe. Don't be
sorry. Don't let Duplin County be in
the headlines with school bus
fatalities.. .Son-of-a-Gun....
