Women In the World Os Work
Who Are We?
As women in the world of
work, who are we?
- We are almost lVi million
women in North Carolina, one
out of every two women over
the age of 16. Our numbers in
crease every year.
- Half of us are married and
living with our husbands. Our
state is among the highest in
the proportion of working
couples.
- One out of eight of us is
head of a family. Divorces
and unwed motherhood ac
count for the rise in numbers
of women who maintain a
family.
- Two of every three of us
have one or more children
under six years old. Many of
us need somebody to help us
take care of our children.
- Most of us work because
we need the money. North
Carolina has one of the lowest
income levels in the country.
- Whether or not we have to
work, most of us like our jobs.
We find the working world
provides the challenges,
satisfactions, social outlets,
independence or other things
that help to make us feel good
about ourselves.
- We are beginning to feel
leas guilty about working out
side the home. Now it is the
fllll-time homemakers who
are becoming more defensive
UiUit staying at home.
- Even though we are well
educated as men (more
women than men are current
ly wrolled ip college), as a
group we earn only three l '
fifths asranctm mantt. The
traditional “women’s work”
jobs pay less.
- Frequently our wages
keep our family out of pover
ty, contributing about one
fourth to one-third of the total
family income. Sometimes we
work two job 6.
- Our children generally are
better off because we work.

They have to take more
responsibility at home and
often are proud of the work we
do. Children also benefit from
the money we earn.
- Almost all of us have jobs
at home, too. We spend
anywhere from 15 to 45 hours
or more a week on household
chores.
- Although men are spen
ding more time helping at
home, as a group they still do
one-fourth or less of the load.
Unlike the chores that women
usually do, their jobs often
don’t have to be done again
every day or week.
- We are as committed to
our work as the men are;
when there is a conflict,
however, we are more likely
to put our husband’s work
first. Sometimes it becomes
the difference between our
having a job or having a
career.
- We don’t have enough
time, or fail to take it, for
ourselves. There seems to be
no end to the work we have to
do. Take a little time for
yourself right now and do not
feel guilty, you owe it to
yourself.

You Touched My Life With Magic
By Walter Noneman
The Magic Touch Award
was developed for the English
classes of John A. Holmes
High School and the Edenton-
Chowan Alternative School.
The Magic Touch Award was
presented to those adults who
demonstrated the qualities of
caring, honesty, courage and
service to others.
There were 42 Magic Touch
Award winners announced
from over 700 nominees.
From the many excellent
essays written, the following
twa have been selected for
sharing. They are “Magic
Touch” by Steve Schroeder
and “An Influence on My
Life” by Michael Harmon.
Each of these student’s lives
have been touched with
magic.
MAGIC TOUCH
By Steve Schroeder
In everyone’s life there
should be a person who, no
matter what happens, will
always be your friend. That
person for me is Ruth Bass.
I’ve known her for about
two years, yet in those years
I’ve become closer to her than
I have any other adult. She is
really a great lady filled with
love and understanding, plus
lots of advice. But along with
the advice is a listening ear
and a lot of patience.
As for love and understan
ding, she is filled with it.
When I get hurt or in trouble,
she feels bad right along with
me. On the other hand, when
I do something well, she is
very proud of me. She gets on
my case sometimes, but
that’s just because she wants
me to succeed in whatever I
do. She has a very busy day
with a large family and a very
demanding job, but she
always makes time to talk
with me. She puts other peo
ple first, then thinks of
herself; that’s just the kind of
person she is.
Along with the love Is her
great ability to be patient with
me, which I’m the first to ad
mit isn’t very easy at times.
For instance, for a couple of
weeks over the summer, my
parents and I were really at
each others’ throats. Finally,
I got fed up and left home.
After two days I was already
running out of money, and
wasn’t sure where to go, but
I knew I wasn’t ready to go
home. I ended up at the
Bass’s. At first Mrs. Bass told
me to go home and work
things out. But then she
realized I just needed some
one to talk to. Even though
she thought I was wrong, she
talked it over with me, but
more important to me was
that she listened. After we
talked, she gave me a big hug
and I started my way home.
Without her patience and
understanding, I don’t think I
would have remained in
Edenton. Whenever I have
problems and no one seems to
care, I know I can talk to so
meone that does, Mrs. Bass.
She has given me a set of
values that I respect and try
to live by. I thank her for that
because no one else has done
that for me. I hope I can live
up to her expectations. Mrs.
Bass is very special to me.
I’m really glad I met her.
AN INFLUENCE
ON MY LIFE
By Michael Harmon
The person that has pro
bably influenced me the most
in my life is my uncle, Bill
Elliott. He has had many
things to happen to him that
would cause most people to
just give up. He hasn’t given
up. In fact, he’s probably as
happy a person as you can
find. He has a very strong
faith in God which has helped
him.
He was born in 1948. He had
very bad eyesight. At age five
he had an operation to try to
improve his vision. The
operation wasn’t a success
though. He was declared
legally blind in 1971.
When he was in the third
grade, he started having trou
ble with his legs. He appeared
to have gotten over these pro
blems until his ninth grade
year. He broke bi» right ankle
and lost the feeling in
foot. In his tenth grade y«*r
he had lost feeling in both
legs. He had to drop out of
school at the end of his tenth
grade year.
He was in and out of the
North Carolina Memorial
Hospital several times from
1963 to 1965 with his illness.
Finally the doctors told him
that he had an unknown nerve
disease. In 1963 he also
became an honorary
policeman.
At age seventeen, in 1965, he
went back to school, which he
had missed very much. In
1965 he joined a rock band, the
Vandals. The band played in
local places. He was the
drummer, but he had to quit
because he became sick.
In 1968, at age nineteen, he
graduated from John A.
Holmes High School. He had
to stay home after this
because of his illness.
In 1971 he got a job with the
Edenton Police Department
as a dispatcher. He works
from midnight until eight
A.M. He also found out he had
a bleeding ulcer. The ulcer
was caused by the Aspirin and
pain killing medicine he was
taking.
He has been a very faithful
and active Christian. In 1975
he began writing songs about
Jesus Christ. In 1977 he
started singing these songs
for churches in this area. In
1979 he began lay preaching
and giving testimonies. In
1980 he was ordained as a
deacon of Edenton Baptist
Church. In 1981 he was licens
ed by the Edenton Baptist
Church to preach. In 1982 he
completed a course and
received a diploma in
Pastoral Ministeries for the
Seminary Extension of the
Southern Baptist Convention.
In June of 1982 he went to
the hospital in Chapel Hill. He
had his right foot amputated.
He got an artificial leg. He
was able to walk without crut
ches for the first time since
1963.
I’ve always remembered
him as being a loving and car
ing person. My cousin and I
would go over and see him
just about every day. We
would sit and talk or play
games. Sometimes we even
wrestled him. There isn't

much Bill wouldn’t do if he
could, to try to please people.
He especially likes to talk to
young people.
Bill has had much courage
to face these things. I don’t
know if I could be as strong
against those problems. I’m
influenced by him because I
have good eyesight and have
good health, and I want to
take advantage of that. It
makes me realize how lucky
I am to have my health. He
also keeps very happy despite
his illness. I’ve never had a
crippling disease before, so I
don’t think I have the right to
be going around complaining
about little pains and aches.
This helps me to be happy
most of the time.

SFCTION B
Now that he can walk with
a cane, he has set new goals
in his life. One is to go to
Southeastern Seminary in
Wake Forest next year. This
takes a lot of courage on his
part, because he’s never been
away from home for a long
time before.
Bill is just a super person
that has influenced me alot.
I’m sure he could influence
others once they got to know
him.
