Certainly it is in order to offer con-
ordinations to Chadbourn for their

prize and $3.50 cash in the two-State

There's a lot of competition for the
prize money and a community that
finishes In the chips has to put out a
great deal Of effort. The effort not
only has to go into the completion of
the projects themselves but into the

Has the art of visiting and exerting
an effort to make newcomers feel
welcome in a community suffered the
same fate as that of the T-Model
Ford?
This question was posed recently in
nearby town when a new resident
took pen in hand and wrote to the
editor of the newspaper.
Her problem was one that exists in
most North Carolina towns. The fam
lily had lived in the community for five
months but not once had anyone both
cred to make friendly visit in their
home. No one had given the slightest
indication that the new family was
welcome in the community.
Luckily, the civic pride of the town
was touched and welcome Neigh
bor' group was formed Now, all new
corners will be given special attention
and given the opportunity to become
a part of the community without the
usual strong fight.
Tabor City's civic clubs could profit
from the experience of the other
towns. There is need for similar
group in our town. How many fam
lies live here short period of time
then give it up as a lost cause because
the residents are too Indifferent about
newcomers? No one knows how many
outstanding citizens are lost via this
route because no one seems to give a
moot. The reason the newcomers
aren't missed when they suddenly pull
up stakes and leave is due to the fact
that no one takes time to meet them

One day when I was in the

much. So on the day appointed.
Mrs. Dimitri arrived. a nice
looking young man who offered
us one of his pictures for an
Army recruiting poster. After
the business was over and the
picture was accepted. the COL
onel proudly mentioned he had
served in Russia, was especially
glad to meet Mr.. Dimitri, and
now would like for him to be
our guest at some real Russian
refreshments. Ivan Dimitri look
ed embarrassed. He thanked the
colonel, coughed a time or two,
then said, I'm sorry to disap-
point you, Colonel, but I'm not
