Rum For one who was accustomed to "chewing her to hoc co once then spitting her juice," lik Mtdie was having a difficult time trying to her "lit under a bushel." "Mister Ben" was nosier than a hound in a rabbit patch. And unlike most fibbers, she didn't tell a fib then tell another to cover up the tell-tale marks or the first one. She just didn't have the right lace for lying. Keeping a straight face was like the feather around the cat's mouth that swallowed the canary. Therefore, die clenched her teeth and gave whatever task before her a fraction more attention than was needed. She even spotted cobwebs where none existed. And long before noon, the apartment was spotlessly dean, "Mister Ben" was bathed, shaved, fed, and propped up in bed, playing dominoes. The game had been sent to him by his "terribly busy" daughter. Emma Lou had visited her father once during the month Miss Madie had been caring for him. Her excuse for neglecting her father was as flimsy as cheese cloth and just as full of holes, but Miss Madie decided that it was no "skin off her back" if 'Mister Ben's" own daughter had no love in her heart for him. "Blood Is thicker than water" when love is the preponderant. And many a parent has burdened their hearts to an untimely grave trying to hold on to an offspring that isn't worth a cuss, especially, the kind of cussing she'd like to put on most of Hagar's younguns. Half of them, she had had the misfortune of meeting, were too poor to stink but they all labored under the delusion that they are gifts to all mankind. "Mister Ben" didn't seem to notice his "fatted calf" coming or going, so she was out of focus feeling sorry for him. She had no ax to grind her discountenance on, something or somebody-not even Jeff Boy kins-having someone make a chump of you, unbeknowingty, is one thing'; but, it is a horse of another color to ask someone to let you have it between the eyes-chump she was and chump she had ashed for. A whole week had passed and she had heard nothing from Jeff Boykins- the sweet talking, good looking tantalizing tid bit of masculine heart warmer had stolen her heart, addled her brain; in general, she was a wretch undone and to add gall to goose pimples, Mister Ben's bowels were running off like a goose after eating a mess of wild onions. Experience had taught Miss Madie, she had learned the hard way, that self-pity is the worst kind of bedmate, therefore, she sought every available diversion to bad company; nevertheless, CHECK OUR GOLD STICKER VALUES NOW! 65 Olds 4 dt $650 62 Chrysler 4 dr 295 tS Chrysler 300 475 7 0iryiler$W......49j ft Imperial HT jutJ 71 Chrysler 4 dr.... 2695 69 lord HT. 1300 71 Ford 4 dr 1295 68 Wildcat 1495 69 Buitk4dr 1680 69 Impolo HT 1695 70 Impale HT. 2250 64 Plymouth 4 dr 795 61 Fury SW. 1295 69 Plymouth SW. . 1575 71 Cricket 4 di 1095 71 Cudo HT. 2195 71 Duster 2 dr...... 1895 63 Dort 4 dr 30 71 Dad 4 dr .... 2195 tfVeftsl 495 anttmiitu.tiig LATE MODEL fc SHORT TEAM LEASE p CARS RETURNED C kGONS-SEOAHS larniKsvysr m Tissues es wm piwvr whatever she did to divert the pangs of pity, she was reminded of her recent absurdity. She was doing just fine with the needle and thread until an old ditty sprang into her befuddled brain . If I had a needle, as fine as I can sew; I'd sew my love to my side and down the road we'd go.

Prior to her meeting with Jeff Boykins, the folk in South Hill tickled Miss Madie. They ati wore smug . well-fed expressions, good clothes and, most of them, drove fine cars; but, if you ever got close enough to a South Hill resident to speak, "it" acted as though you had committed mayhem. Speaking of living in a segregated neighborhood, South Hill was a breathing example, of people looking down their noses at people who earn their bread by the sweat of their brows. You'd never suspect that most of the residents had migrated from "Black Bottom "--the slum section of Bayborough. The Kaypots were rich and had traveled around the world three times but they didn't have half the class that the average South Hill resident wore like a badge of honor.

Vitulli, vice president-genreal manager of A&P's Long Island Division, opens account with new Vaneuard National Bank New Designer Comes lo the Durham Area Paige is a designer who has found his medium-fabric. He brings the two-dimensional world to life in designs for the home. After graduating in interior design from the Art Insitute of Chicago in 1958, Paige worked for Skidmore, Owings and Merrill. While associated with the grant architectural firm lie became, interested in textiles. Soon he was designing scarf and. dress fabric for an Italian manufacturer in Milan. This textile work led Paige back into interior design, a home fashions fabric designer. A thoroughly modern man, Paige nevertheless reaches back to primitive and folk art for his design inspirations. He translates favorite primitive motifs into contemporary American patterns for today's home. Nature is another major stimulus to the artist's creative work 'The florals and geometries of the natural world are an integral part of his designs. Explaining, he says "I hope to turn on other people's creativity in the home with my fabrics." "One design mgiht inspire a person to create a wall hanging where he or she hadn't thought of it, or another design might suggest a tented ceiling," he says. Paige is currently working on home fashions textiles for Tuesday Art, a division of Tuesday Publications. His new "Dakkabar" fabric group in custom fabric curtains draperies, bedspreads, pillows and throws ARE AVAILABLE AT SELECTED Sears. Roebuck and Co. stores.

Farmers Home Administration Initiates Rural Youth Loan Plan ROBERT EA R L PAIGE Surrounded by his primitive-inspired "Dakkabar" fabrics designed for Tuesday Art, a division Tuesday Publications. Rural youths can now borrow money from the Farmers Home Administration, according to North Carolina's State Director, James T. Johnson. The new program, authorized by the Rural Development Act of 1972, is now being implemented through all FHA county offices. It will enable rural youths who are members of 4-H clubs, Future Farmers of America, Future Homemakers of America, and similar organizations to receive loans to help them establish and operate income producing projects in connection with their participation in organized clubs. The basic objectives of youth loans are educational and practical. Youths are taught basic economics and credit principals and provided an opportunity to use their hands and minds for self improvements. Generally, a project advisor and the FHA official will have a major role in planning the enterprise with the youths and providing guidance in operating it. Loans can be made for both farm and nonfarm projects such as, but not limited to, crop or livestock production; farm custom service; auto and appliance repairs; woodworking' welding shop; roadside stands or other income producing projects. Some examples of how loan funds may be used are: (1) to purchase livestock, essential equipment, and resources and facilities for the project; (2) to purchase, rent or repair necessary tools, equipment, and facilities; (3) to pay operating expenses, and (4) to inventory and purchase supplies. To be eligible, the applicant must be a citizen under 21 years of age, participate in an organized club, and .reside in a rural area or city or town of less than 10,000 population. He or she must have the character, ability, and maturity necessary to plan, manage and operate the enterprise under the supervision of the project advisor. The applicant must be unable to obtain necessary credit elsewhere and obtain the recommendation of the project from his or her project advisor. If under 18 years of age, the applicant must obtain the recommendation from the parents or guardian. Each project must produce enough income to pay operating expense and the FHA loan. Each applicant is considered without regard to Race, color, creed, sex, or national origin. The applicant will be required to execute a promissory note and shall incur full personal liability for the debt. Loans will be secured by liens on chattel property, livestock, equipment, and fixtures purchased with loan funds. The interest rate is the same as for regular FHA operating loans. At present, this is 5 78 percent. The repayment terms are determined on the basis of the purpose for which the loan was made and on anticipated earnings of the project. The amount of the loan will be the amount required to finance a modest project planned by the applicant and his project advisor, and approved by FHA. The $300 million in EEA funds includes $80 million earmarked for summer programs out of the Secretary of Labor's discretionary money. Under the Department of Labor's formula 'for distribution of the $80 million, many of the nation's largest cities with urgent need- for summer employment funds would receive nothing ai all. Out of 212 cities, only 137 wUl receive any money from tHe EEA discretionary fund. Detroit, which last year received $6 801,930 in NYC funds; Los Angeles with $4,657,430 in '72 NYC funds; San Francisco, which had $1,827,819 last year; Hew Orleans, with $1090,870 in 72; and Milwaukee, with 472 program of $1,058,700 wifl all receive nothing at all from the discretionary fund. Even for those cities which will benefit from the $80 million, the amount if pitifully small relative to the demand. Many cities have already allocated the funds which the Administration has allowed for summer job programs to the PEP slots for which the money was appropriately intended. For those cities, particularly if the v are not eligible for a share of the $80 million discretionary fund, there will be no summer job program at all. The siphoning off of EEA funds would have a potentially disasterous effect on the already embattled Public Employment Program. It has been estimated that if PEP continued at current levels with no replacements for those who terminate, funds for PEP would run out at the end of FY74 with about 15,000 persons on the rolls who would have to be laid off at that time. If $300 million is used for summer jobs, funds would run out in October, and about 90,000 would have to be laid off. Compared with the League of Cities estimated need of 1,018,991 jobs, the Administration's proposals would yield a total of 776,000. The President has asserted that additional jobs will be forthcoming from the private sector, but it is likely that any new opening will go to regular employees who had been laid off. The National Alliance for Businessmen has set a goal of 175,000 slots, a goal which may be unrealistically high given the fund limitations of the NAB and the cutback by .... 1 B one third oi tne unmoor oi NAB metropolitan offices throughout the country. At a time when national unemployment is 5 and in many areas of the country, such as Watts in Los Angeles, is 18 or more-more funds, not less, are needed to provide employment opportunities. President Nixon's approach to the summer employment program places local officials in the agonizing position of having to terminate jobs for unemployed adults in order to provide summer employment for needy youth. As Boston's Mayor Kevin White told the Subcommittee on Equal Opportunities on March 23: "What the President is saying in regard to the PEP program he is saying in regard to revenue sharing. He is giving us the right to make decisions, but not sufficient money to provide for the needs we are faced with." Congress must act now to assure that adequate funds will be available for both transitional employment in needed public services through the Emergency Employment Act and summer employment for disadvantaged youth through the Neighborhood Youth Corps. I strongly urge the President to take the leadership in this area and press for increased appropriations for summer youth programs, and to spend those funds which the Congress has appropriated.

CHICAGO-In an attempt to reduce medical costs, free hospital beds for other uses, and provide greater convenience to patients, more and more hospitals are offering one-day outpatient surgical service, according to a recent survey of member hospitals by the American Hospital Association. "As long as existing facilities are not duplicated, we are convinced the recent trend toward outpatient surgery represents aa important savings in cost and time for patients," says John Alexander McMahon, president of the AHA. "The AHA and its member hospitals are consistently looking tor innovative, cost saving programs, always keeping in mind the well-being of the patient." Although then is no official figure indicating how many hospitals offer outpatient surgery, McMahon says the number is growing mainly because of "new surgical techniques, safer and more advanced methods of anesthesia and a concerted effort to find new ways to lower hospital costs and free beds for the more seriously ill patient." Most commonly performed operations include gynecological, uro logical, plastic, orthopedic and dental procedures, utMrt tts complications are anticipated following the operation. V general anesthetic fiWss laboratory and x-ray teste tje usually performed the Jgtf before surgery or the momirtg at in of the operation.
