Along The Way 1 By Emily Kill otto r Recreation and entertainment have always been an iasue before the public. Within the iaat 20years many Ku and recreation facilities have n constructed in Djplin. But. as early as 1935 plans for recreational facilities can be found in newspapers. The town of Warsaw made plans for a community build ing, playground and equipment, and a swimming pool! Recognition of the need is a major first step in any project and then follows community support and funding. The DUPLIN HERALD reported on the recrea tional plans in an article entitled "New Community House Go#! Enthusiastic Warsaw Folks' and it appeared in the February 14, 1935 issue of that newspaper. A follow-up article on the community building plans appeared in THE HERALD March 21, 1935. New Community House Goal Enthusiastic Warsaw Folks A number of progressive persons in Warsaw are seeking ways and means of getting a community house for the u>wn. The matter has passed the speculative stage and the pro moters who are many, are trying to gel the owners of the lot on which the old Faison tobacco warehouse stands ? to give it to the city for the purpose of building the community house there. Thus far the plans seek a structure I ? of wood or brick veneer to have a | - seating capacity of 500 persons. A 1 1 house is contemplated similar to the ! * structures in Clinton and Mount Olive. The main floor would be of . hardwood and large enough for a regular size basketball court. The community house would also - be used for an auditorium for . lectures, banquets, concerts, home talent, plays and similar functions. The building would contribute to a - flexible policy in the different capa T cities for which it could be used, and ; the fact is stressed that Warsaw hasn't realty a place for any of the - affairs named at the present time. ; The promotoers hope to put the ? community house on the north end of - the lot heretofore mentioned, leaving 1 a margin around the structure for ; ornamental shrubs. An out-of-door ? swimming pool is planned to be I constructed just back of the com * munily house, and still further back on the south end of the lot would be a little community park with children's ' playground apparatus, such as ; swings, slides, see-saws, and so on. * It is pointed out by champions of the idea that there are no swimming I facilities closer to Warsaw then 70 * miles. It is hoped to get money from the * Federal public works administration " for the project, as Warsaw has never * had * dime of Federal money for construction projects. The matter will be pushed with vigor by the sponsors who point out that Clinton, Ml. Olive, Snow Hill and other towns have such institutions and are using them with vast advantage to the residents of those cities. The projected lot is splendidly situated for the purpose for which it issought. As it is now, the old ware house, long vacant, is practically valueless. Much of the lumber used in its construction has rotted, but it is believed iher? is still enough good ALPHA ETA CHAPTER The Alpha Eta chapter of Delta Kappa Gamma met Feb. 9 at the Rose Hill Restaurant in Rose Hill. Dr. Alice Scott introduced the guest speaker, Ms. Carol-Ann Tucker, associate director the ECU training center. limber left in the structure to materially aid in starting the pro posed community house. The owners of the property are all public spirited men and it is believed they will agree to donate the property for the purposes sought. The Mrncri of the property are: Dr. J.M. William*, A.L. Cavenaugh. K.D. Johnson. Dr. J.W. Straugnn, J.C. Rust, A. Brooks, R.H. Best, D. Best and J.W. Qwinn. Assuredly Warsaw sorely needs a community building. It will fill a positive need. The way matters stand now, the town is without facilities for a meeting of any size. The sponsor, of the community building would also have a sectional s'ajrc that could be pushed out of the way when the full floor space of the auditorium required it. Also there would be rooms upstairs for the American Legion. U.D.C., city library and other public needs would also be taken care of. 1 he earnest men and women who are seeking a good feature tar the town arc entitled to the huge measure at credit for their efforts. It certainly looks as if they are going about it in a determined and intelli gent manner. The HERALD can't see a thing short of a successful culmination of this excellent move ment. Let the militant and high minded work go on. MM* During 'he pas' few weeks. Along (he Way has featured articles ap Ering in the 1935 Duplin Herald, ny people might not recognize the name of this newspaper. The Herald was published in Warsaw far many years and at the same time THE DUPLIN TIMES was being printed in Kenansville. During the early 1940s. THE DUPLIN TIMES purchased 'he HERALD and for a time published under the masthead TIMES HERALD. The original DUPLIN TIMES masthead with the quote "The Times Covers Duplin Like a Roof replaced the TIMES-HERALD in only a short time. Later the slogan of the DUPLIN TIMES til changed and beneath the masthead appeared (he qu<>>e ".Straight from the Shoulder ? Right from the Heart of Duplin *' Another note of interest waa tlie quote appeanng below the mat I head TIMES-HERALD "(Consolidation of the Dlsplin Journal. Duplin Record, Duplin Herald, Duplin Times)" and abov<^ "Duplin: Beat Balanced County in a? Balanced State." While the DUPLIN HERALD published, its slogan read "A Newspaper for the Masses, Devoted to the Progress of Duplin County." ^^beulavilie's oldest grocery store serving beulaville^gr^k a surrounding areas for 30 ?
