The Neiise as it is and could be—an Editorial Above is pictured a view of Happersviile at it appears from the loot of King Street. A State Highway Commission crew has begun clearing away underbrush in preparation for construc tion of the new bridge that will soon span the river here. Below is a view of the Kinston side of the river, as viewed from Happersviile, and strangely enough frinn these two points of view it must be admitted that Happersville presents a better appearance than Kinston. These two^pictnres give concrete evidence of how much difference a little attention can make in the appearance of the banks of the old and abused stream. —Photos by Bronstein-Johnson Neuse River Around Kinston Is An Eye-Sore But It Could Be Made Into An Attractive Area With Some Effort! foot of King Street a state crew has in sk cleared away ur n preparation for the Since that time more than two hundred years ago when European Culture first marched up Neuse River, the “Old Ditch” has been used, abused: and neglected in many ways by succeeding genera tions that have made their homes tip and down its great length. Cur rently there is an effort afoot-to offer some small measure of pro tection not only to the Neuse but to the rest of North Carolina’s streams, a As one hand of the State Govern ment busies, itself with the prob lem Of stream pollution another hand is busy at Kinston construct ing a bigger (if not better) pipe line through which the Caswell Training School will dump even greater quantities of raw sewage. The absurd inconsistency of such a situation needs no elaboration. Another state project at the same time and in the same section affers a highly, contrasting picture to study is” with across the muddy old Neuse at that site. The picture with this ar ticle gives a good idea of just how much improved that few hundred yards of shore line really are with just a little effort. In and around Kinston Neuse River has meant but one thing for the past generation, since commer cial navigation of the stream end ed. That one thing has been a dumping ground, a big sewer, a place to throw old tip cans, . tree stumps and automobile frames. Everything one can imagine has been«tossed into the patient old stream except intelligent apprecia tion for the things it offers. Even the unhappy breed of men who brew “smoke” up and down its banks around Kinston represent something cast aside by a careless and brutal society that at one and the same time manages to' place emphasis upon material progress and spiritual collapse. No community is mature in ei ther a material or spiritual sense so long as its appreciation for beauty remains dormant to the de gree exhibited in the collective ig norance which contributes to the delinquency of what could be Kins ton’s most beautiful natural asset. It is to be hoped that construc tion of a new and beautiful bridge across the Neuse will do something to awaken an interest among all Kinstonians in this “Thing of pos sible beauty”. Each civic and social organiza tion in the community should have as a standing project the beautifi cation of the banks of this much abused stream. Riverside Drive in New York City is known through out the world for its magnificence and hot so many years ago it was the city dump. Pollocksville Is Continuing Drive Fort ‘Rec’ Center Last week’s collection in Pol locksville Township has been term ed a success by leaders who took part in the drive which had as its goal collection for enough funds to complete construction of the Pol locksville Recreation Center.- Mrs. H. M. Hines, who is treasurer of the group building the center, re ports that more than $130 has been turned in to her. Gifts of every kind are accepted by the group but until now the gifts have largely been in cash. Some tobacco and even chickens have been collected, however. Materials for thg roof of the building have already been deliv ered to the building site and work on the roof is scheduled to get un derway this week, Rotarian J. W. Creagh said Tuesday.
