To Gather
The Cleveland County
Chapter of the North Carolina
Retired School Personnel had as
special guests at their June lun
cheon those teachers and other
school personnel retiring at the
Weevil:
To Cotton
If The Boll Weevil has his
way, that nice soft cotton towen
or T-shirt or pair of blue jeans
will never be produced. This old
pest is out this year in numbers
which should make 1983 a year
to remember across the cotton
belt.
Cleveland County, which
could be described as a small
island outside of the cotton belt
is no exception. Boll weevil traps
have been placed next to cotton
fields throughout much of the
county. Weevil captures so far
have been greater this year by
far than any other year since the
traps have been used. All traps
checked so far have caught
enough weevils to indicate that
economic boll weevil problems
are certain later this season for
cotton producers. The traps are
used to moniter boll weevil levels
and provid warnings to growers
of potential problems. If three or
four weevils are caught per trap
for each two week period prior
to flower bud (square) formation
economic problems are likely.
This year most traps are catching
50 or more and some have been
catching as many as 300. One
closely monitored trap was cat
ching 9 weevils per hour.

Steven Green
Local Man
Dies At
Hendersonville
Steven Roland Green, of Rt.
3., Shelby, died early Sunday in
Henderson Hospital, Henderson
ville, after several weeks’ illness.
He had gone to Hendersonville
to visit his son and became ill
there.
Originally from Mt. Holly,
Mr. Green, who was 80, lived
for about 12 years on the Old
Boiling Springs Road. Mrs.
Kathryn Callahan, who lives
across the road from his home,
recalled his many kindnesses
during her husband Lester
Callahan’s long illness. “He did
things for people, odd jobs and
yard work. I’d come home from
the hospital and there he’d be,
out cutting our grass. And he
never would take money. He
was just like one of our
relatives.”
He had been in declinating
health for about a year, Mrs.
Callahan said, “but he never told
anybody he felt bad.” His wife,
the former Alverta Willis, died in
1978 and Mr. Green then lived
alone. He and Lester Callahan
were close friends, and when
Callahan died about 10 weeks
ago, “I think he just gave up,”
Mrs. Callahan said.
Funeral services were Tues
day, in Hendersonville, with
burial in Mt. Holly. Mr. Green is
survived by two sons, Roland
Green of Hendersonville and
Ernest Green of Lakeland,
Florida; three daughters, Mrs.
Julia Smith of Greenville, S.C.;
Mrs. Grace Harrison of
Lakeland; and Mrs. Katie
Timms of Charleston Heights,
S.C., and three sisters, Mrs. Min
nie Hyder of Flat Rock; Mrs.
Florence Metcalf of Lake Lure
and Mrs. Pansy Griffin of
Hendersonville.

Dad’s Not What
He Used To Be
By Pat Verner
American fathers today are
taking greater roles in rearing
their children than they have
since the 18th century, says a
University of North Carolina
historian.
Since the 1950s, middle class
men have been becoming more
and more involved with their
families, says Dr. Peter Filene,
professor of history and the
author of two books on sex rolls.
Child rearing no longer is seen as
strictly the mother’s domain.
“It’s now clear that men have
many more parental instincts
and desires than they thought
they had,” Filene says. “As some
men see a wider spectrum
available they are taking it.”
“Modern American culture
has generally expected a man to
find primary competence in his
work and a woman to find it her
family,” he says.
Now, there is a sex roles
revolution. “If the world has not
been turned upside down, then it
is at least tilted.”
Men often have to make
sacrifices to choose to take a
greater role in parenting,
however, Filene says. Promo
tion, insurance and paternity
leave policies are stacked against
them. They may have to give up
job advancement or financial
success to spend more time at
home.
Plus, many men feel caught in
the middle. “Unlike women, men
only recently have begun to find
definitions of what is going on
with them,” he says.
They face internal and exter
nal pressures to maintain their
traditional roles as breadwinners,
Filen says.
In the 18th century and
before, fathers played a greater
role in parenting than they have
since then, he says. Then, men
usually were working for
themselves or near home, and
both husband and wife tended to
be involved in the family
economy. The world was not
divided into home and industry-
it was more meshed together.
In the 19th century, things
started going the other way.
There was a growing distance
between residence and job. In
dustrialization was taking more
and more men out of their
homes and into factories, the ex
pansion of cities was extending
commuting time and im
provements in transportation
gave rise to suburbs that remov
ed homes even further from jobs.
As home and industry became
more separated, there came an
increasing emphasis on mother
ing as opposed to parenting,
Filene says, citing the emergence
of books and manuals on child
rearing focusing on mothering.
“Men ended up being sor of
excluded,” he says. “It was made
clear that children were the
women’s domain.”
Changes in that philosophy
have come gradually, Filene
says. The feminist movement, by
forcing people to rethink
women’s and, in turn, men’s
roles, accelerated the changes.
There were tendencies and
predispositions toward a change
long before the feminist move
ment gained momentum,
though, he says.
Men were becoming more in
volved with their families by the
1950s, the day of the station
wagon and family vacation. By
then, changes in society and the
economy had given men more
time and money for vacations
and greater opportunities for be
ing with their families.
The father’s role didn’t change
suddenly and drastically, he
notes. “It’s not a change you can
see over five or 10 years-it’s sub
tle and over a long period of
time.”
It’s not a change that involves
all fathers, either.
Filene says he believes a com
bination of forces will make the
trend toward shared parenting
continue. Many men want to
take an active role in parenting
and start with the births of their
children. Women are going to
continue to work for personal
and financial reasons, which re
quires fathers to take greater
roles. And there will continue to
be stress on equal treatment of
gender.
Another factor is that children
whose parents shared child rear
ing duties are growing up. They
will have the expectation of shar
ing when they have children of
their own.
