For The People By Bernadette W. Hoyle rolilic iniorniiition Officer North Carolina State Board of Public Welfare Many aged persons in North Carolina, who have no families to contribute to their support, live, and are in need, are eligi ble under law to receive old age assistance. Some of these per sons, who have no homes of their own and no relatives With whom to live, reside in board ing homes for the aged. The case history of one such resident in a boarding home for the aged in North Carolina is a heart-warming story. This eld erly man is severely crippled and has no use of his left hand. He walks with much difficulty. In spite of his afflication he can take care of his daily needs and he has a cheerful attitude to wards life. He -had always been especially interested in garden ing and one of his favorite pas times was poring over seed catalogs and gardening maga zines. The operator of the boarding home had a large circular plant bed built up with cinder blocks so that the man could sit on the edge and work with his good right hand. A local seed dealer furnished him with a supply of tulip bulbs and another busi nessman. gave him some fertiliz er. The boarding home resident was provided a short handled hoe and trowel which he was able to use very well. When spring came and the tulips pushed their tender leaves up through the earth, every resident of the boarding home was excited over the event and BURSTING WITH VALUES FCX SPRING SALE I UNICO Battery Reg. sl6 25 i Pound Pail sale K 9 "’Sale” *12 95 w* mßn *l* A x 15, tube type (6 ply) UNICO 15 tube type (4 ply) rowercruiser ■ UNICO Tubeless—Nylon' UNICO UNICO Tri-Rib 12M Motor Oil Reg S2B 00 Outboard Motor Front Tractor sS-’2i° - *l9" w*® -Toto 1© tor 6 White Sidewall OAC OlkJ P ,u * tax ® *"* 7.50 xl4 (4 ply) Ut per qt 500 xls 4-ply Nylon WITH PURCHASE OF THE UNICO REAR TRACTOR UNICO 2-4-D, Fence Controller Receive FREE - 4 R *, y / n Regular $50.17 IMN (1) Vi mile spool electric fence wire No. 190 # (2) 25 plastic insulators—No. RS 25 Special sale $0495 SOQ9S Reg. $28.76 VU plus tax OTHER UNICO TIRES CL^THI/cflllPON^i AT POPULAR PRICES ■ CLIP THISCOUPON J UNICO i 2 | XBT Extra Bar Traction TRUCK TIRE | | Heavy Iread-Extra mileage A I < ir « I I (14“ Va x SVi“ x4Vi") VmBSMB I With COUPON thri JUMBO I « W 1 Size Tool & Tackle Utility Box .

Dr. Rachel Davis. co-Crusade chairman, urges every cured cancer patient to step forward and become a volun teer in his local county unit to help with this educational funds crusade. She is shown here with Governor Tarry Sanford who, along with the President of the United States and by direction of Congress, is proclaiming April as Cancer Control Month. when the first blooms appeared it was a day of rejoicing. Os - course, the gardener himself was bursting with pride. The bul'b project was so suc cessful that the local garden club furnished him with pansy plants, and as the tulips lost their blooms, the pansies were another source of work and pleasure. These were succeeded j by petunias, and so the garden i plot was a mass of color all I summer. In late fall he became inter- i csted in the roses advertised in the catalogs and again the seed, dealer furnished him enough | roses for a nice rose border. I Now he is interested in cultivat-. ing strawberries. The garden plot has opened | up a whole new world for this j crippled man. and not only has j it provided new interests fori him, but for all the residents of the boarding home. This is one of the ways in | whicn aged persons are helped 1 through rehabilitative services to gain confidence and new inter ests in life.
