Study Defines Poverty Level
RALEIGH —Some 330,000
households in North
Carolina with ap
proximately 860,000 people
are living in poverty, ac
cording to a report just
completed by the Center for
Urban Affairs and Com
munity Development at
North Carolina State
University for the State
Department of Human
Resources.
The report says that this
represents about 16 per cent
of the state's approximately
2-million households con
taining 5.8-million people.
“Even though this is a
significant decrease from
the 992,000 people or 20.2 per
cent of the state’s population
living in poverty in 1970. We
in the Department of
Human Resources are
deeply concerned about how
proposed federal funding
cutbacks in human services
will affect North Carolina’s
‘truly poor’ citizens,” said
Secretary of Human
Resources Dr. Sarah T.
Morrow.
She emphasized that not
only do many of these poor
households have young
children who need an
adequate start in life, but
that one-half of the
households are headed by
people who are 60 years of
age or older.
The data in the report was
collected through a
Statewide Needs
Assessment Project
sponsored by the Depart
ment of Human Resources.
The major objective of the
project was to collect data to
assist human services
agencies in planning for the
delivery of social services
under the Title XX
program.
The center used a
stratified multi-stage
sampling procedure to
gather data from
households. The final
household selection was
made using aerial
photographs and road
segments. Interviews were
conducted by trained in
terviewers in the sample
homes. Interviews were
conducted in 4,600
households across the state
between 1977 and 1981.

Babb Is Participant
In European Tour
Two hundred sixteen
Wingate College students
visited London, Am
sterdam, Geneva, Vienna
and Merida from December
27 through January 7. The
students were participating
in the North Carolina senior
college’s fourth annual
Wintemational program.
Among the group was
Jeffrey L. Babb of West
Second Street in Edenton.
Eligible members of the
sophomore class went on the
10-day trip as the
culmination of a semester’s
study of any one of 14
seminar topics led by
Wingate faculty members
who led the tours. Students
receive one or two hours of
liberal arts credit upon
successful completion of the
Wintemational study-travel
program.
In the four years Win
ternational has been in
existence, the college has
sent over 100 students
abroad for this experience
in international living. Air
fare and student hotel ac
comodations cost the
students nothing extra
beyond regular tuition at
Wingate. Their costs are
limited to meals and in
cidentals.
EVER SEEN A DOG ICE SKATE? Three dogs recently took advantage of the freezing
weather conditions to go ice skating on the Albemarle Sound. Venturing as far as 30 feet out,
they were last seen playing their own style of “ice hockey”.

Beef Components Used For Medical Supplies I
Beef has sometimes been
accused of being a wasteful
luxury in a hungry world.
Cattlemen’s groups,
however, have shown that
the majority of weight gain
for beef takes place from
grazing. And, much of this
grazing takes place on land
where grain crops could
never be economically
produced.
There is also one fact that
is often overlooked when the
value of feeding cattle for
. food is discussed. That is the
by-products that come from
these animals after
slaughter for food.
Most people would never
even think of beef animals
as a source of live-saving
pharmaceuticals. However,
it is said that it takes the
pancreas gland from about
45 million cattle to keep the
diabetics in America sup
plied with insulin.
There are an estimated
five million diabetic in the
U. S. and about one-fourth of
them require daily insulin
treatments. Some cattle
industry people believe
there may eventually be a
federal requirement calling
for mandatory salvaging of
pancreas glands by all beef
slaughterers, regardless of
economic returns for the
industry.
Another medical by
product comes from parts of
the animal’s liver, and is
used to manufacture the
drug cortisone. From lungs
come extracts to be used in
production of Heparin, used
for blood control during
operations. Heparin is also
used for treatment in
preventing gangrene and as
a bum treatment.
The small intestines are
used in manufacture of
surgical sutures. Spinal
cords are the beginning of
sex hormone formulas.
Pituitary glands from cattle,
produce growth hormones
for humans.
There are non-medical by
products as well - strings
for musical instruments,
lubricants from fats, gelatin
from bones, leather
products and others. But, it
is the pharmaceuticals that
really count. It is claimed
that more than 100 life
saving, life-improving drugs
in current use can be
