'g v/V. ;• •’ . ;v % ...; ';\- - 4 \ aursday - September 10. 1961 . State Officials Agree Employees To Retain Benefits I' 14- Gov. Jimmy Green Jand House Speaker Liston i-B. Ramsey released the ■following statement on . September 2. . A special legislative committee appointed by tbe Lt. Governor and Speaker of . the House reached an i agreement today which will | allow State employees and - teachers to retain the same hospital and medical in surance coverage they now have. The agreement, reached after lengthy negotiations with representatives of Blue Cross-Blue Shield Insurance Company, replaces a {dan tentatively adopted by the special committee August 12. The August 12 {dan was based on a co-insurance program under which State employees and teachers would have had to pay a deductible on their basic coverage. The new plan drops the deductible feature and continues the coverage as it presently musts - with one exception. The exception is that the new plan imposes a ceiling on the amount Blue Cross- Blue Shield will pay for physicians’ services and for hospital rooms. The ceiling will be the amount currently being paid to doctors and hospitals and this ceiling will remain in effect until the new contract expires July 1, 1982. The special committee was created by the General Assembly earlier this year to deal with a demand by Blue Cross- Blue Shield for a 31 per cent increase in premiums for State em ployees and teachers, amounting to more than s4l - in additional money. The budget adopted by the General Assembly in July appropriated $7.6-million to help meet the rate increase. To implement the full l—vu. *)nc. P-O. BOX 536, 615 6. MAM STREET K 3 *UZ. CITY.

The Index registered 153.7, down 0.8 per cent from the June level. A broad-based em ployment decline in the non manufacturing sector was the major factor in the decrease in the Index. Contract construction, trade and government em ployment were down ap proximately one per cent each, while services declined more than two per cent. In the manufacturing sector, employment rose primarily due to increases in non-durable goods in dustries. Textiles and ap parel employment were contributing factors, with growth of one per cent and 0.7 per cent respectively. Employment in durable goods industries remained stable for the month. The average manufac turing workweek and price adjusted average hourly earnings for manufacturing employees were virtually THE CHOWAN HERALD unchanged in July. The seasonally adjusted unemployment rate for North Carolina was 5.5 per cent in July, down 0.5 per cent from the June level. The national rate for July was 7. per cent, down 0.3 per cent from June.

Hansen, a N. C. State University food scientist. Hansen says the product could save millions of dollars in energy in shipping and storage costs, and open new markets for the sale of homemade ice cream as well. The mix now being used to make commercial ice cream is kept under refrigeration from the time of manufacture until it is frozen. It must be in storage at 20 to 30 degrees Asthma Program Begun The Kate B. Reynolds Health Care Trust Fund of Winston-Salem is helping to fund a statewide program for children with asthma according to W. Herbert Hollowell, Jr., of Edenton president of the American Lung Association of North Carolina. A $45,000 grant has been awarded to pur chase special self-help materials. Tbe funds will be paid annually over three years on the basis of $25,000, $15,000 and $5,000. The program being supported, known as SUPERSTUFF, involves the distribution of 12,000 packages of self-help materials to children and their families over a period of three years. It is estimated that 6,000 packages will be needed in 1981-82 and 4,000 and 2,000 in subsequent years. The material is designed to increase the child’s ability to cope with his or her condition and provides the means for replacing fear and misunderstanding of asthma with knowledge, self-awareness and self -North Carolina Department of Transportation NOTICE OF PUBLIC MEETING Board of Transportation Member, Marc Basnight, and division staff members will meet with the Chowan County Board of Commissioners in the Conference Room in the Chowan County Courthouse in Edenton at 2:00 P.M., Friday, September 18, 1981, for the purpose of discussing the county’s 1981-82 Secondary Roads Improvement Program.

According to him the NCSU shelf-stable mix can be packaged, transported to a restaurant or grocery store in a less expensive non-ref rigerated truck and stored for up to six months on the shelf right along with the pickles and ketchup. “In the case of the large fast food chains, the use of a non-ref rigerated ice cream and ice milk could amount to millions of dollars in savings in energy and esteem. Included in the package is an 86-page work book for the child and a parents’ newsmagazine. The Kate B. Reynolds Health Care Trust was created in 1946 after the death of Mrs. William W. Reynolds by a provision in her will leaving her residuary estate in trust for the purpose of improving health care to tbe people of North Carolina. The trust awards ap proximately $1.5-million annually in grants to non profit organizations throughout the state. Its current program interest areas are access to primary health care, alternative delivery systems which offer improved health care and-or economy, and illness prevention - health pro motion. Hollowell noted that the project is consistent with the goals of the Kate B. Reynolds Health Care Trust because of its innovative approach to assisting children with difficult asth ma problems. Cream Less Costly handling,” he said. Hansen, a principal in vestigator at NCSU in the U.S. development of a non refrigerated milk product (UHT or ultra high tem perature milk), says the basic technology used to make that product was adapted to create the long shelf-life ice cream mix. “We flash heat the ice cream or ice milk mix (seven seconds) to 300 degrees by injecting steam which inactivates the bacterial spores,” Hansen explained. “The sterile product is then sealed in foil laminated paper containers for shipment.” The mix can be stored at room temperature.

Flavors can be added during the production of the mix or later when the ice cream is being made, Hansen said. If the non-refrigerated mix is accepted . com mercially, Hansen believes it will help rejuvenate Americas love for homemade ice cream. Manufactures of small freezing and blending units could easily develop a small electric ice cream maker suitable for home use, he said. “The new shelf-stable mix could be frozen, popped in the machine after dinner, and within the hour a family could be enjoying a fresh, nutritious ice cream made right in their own home,” Hansen said.
