B. White's contemporary classic. "We feel that this group of children does not have the opportunity to view the films that other children do and it's our way of showing them that we do care", stated Jim Beaulieu, Manager. The children will be treated to fine refreshments as well as t he screening through the cooperation of the theatre, Schneider Meri Associates, owners, and Paramount Pictures, distributor for "Charlotte's Web". .' White's novel has been transferred to the screen by Hanna-Barbera Studios, Sagitarrius Productions, and Paramount Pictures with nine new songs by Academy Award winners Richard M. and Robert & Sherman; the team who scored "Mary Poppins". White describes his story as a tale of "friendship and salvation, a story of miracles the miracle of birth, the miracle of friendship, the miracle of death". The special private screening will be held at 9:30 a. m. and is limited to the above group of children. The picture will be shown to the general public beginning on June 22. Anyone who wishes to bring a mentally retarded or crippled child is asked to call the theater for reservations. The Different la Peat Gardners Use By M. E. Gardner N. C. State University Most home gardeners have used peat "moss". However, many readers do not know that there are differences in the physical and chemical characteristics of peat, depending upon the kind of plants from which it originated. How is peat formed? It is formed by the lay ing down of successive generations of plants under water. In the absence of air, these plants decompose very slowly. How many plant groups are involved? Generally speaking, there are four major plant groups: the sphagnum group, com posed of various herba ceous plants. This peat has a strong acid reaction (pH 3.5 - 4.5);thehypnum group, associated with the mosses, sedges and other flowering plants. This type is generally neutral or slightly alkaline in reaction; the reed-sedge group, formed from sedges, cattails and grasses; and the shrub and tree group, formed from blue berries, alder and willow. This last group yields a peat which lacks uniformity because of the coarser material content such as decaying bark, twigs and branches. i Sometimes the term peat and muck are used interchangeably, but there is quite a difference between the two products. Peat usually has a mineral content of about 35 per cent while muck soil may range between 35 percent and 75 percent. Much of the "organic soil" you buy from your favorite supplier is muck. The peat you buy is, for the most part, im ported from Germany or Canada and is formed by the decomposition of the sphagnum group. It has an acid reaction and a nitrogen content ranging from 1 percent to 3 per cent. It is low in both phosphorus and potash and is relatively free of weed seed and fungi. Peat has many uses. It increases the water holding capacity of sandy soils and provides better aeration in closer textured soils. It is a must for successfully growing the acid loving plants and is used in large quantities by the nurseryman and florist for seed germination, rooting cuttings and in the preparation of soil mixtures for potting plants. Crisis Features Even Memorial, NAACP Reply to Wallenberg NEW YORK - In commemoration of the tenth anniversary of the assassination of Medgar Even, "The Crisis" magazine has devoted a major portion of its June-July issue to the late Mississippi NAACP leader. Also in the issue, Assistant NAACP Executive Director John AT HoreeTl, responds ciritkally to the article "Black Progress and Liberal Rhetoric", by Ben J. Wattenberg and Richard M Scammon, which appeared in the April issue of "Commentary" magazine. The article claimed that 52 per cent of American Negroes have attained middle-class status. "Medgar Even knew that wherever he went he was menaced by the grim shadow of death", Henry Lee Moon states in the lead article. "In the ten yean since that tragic night (June 11-12, 1963), the State of Mississippi has not attained anything approaching a bias-free equalitarian society. But the climate is now vastly different than that in which Medgar Evers grew up, significantly improved over what it was on that unforgettable night when his young life was so cruelly snuffed out". A new portrait of Even, executed in paste lies by Joan Bacchus, is printed in full-color on the front cover. The same portrait has been reproduced as an 11 x 14 print suitable for framing and may be purchased from "The Crisis". Dr. Morsel! says that "the Wattenberg-Scammon article is almost totally devoid of any consideration of the psychological impact of continuing disparities in employment, income, housing and general well-being upon the attitudes of black Americans who suffer from the disparities". He says further: "The authors see evidence of phenomenal progress wherever they look. They report, for example, that the ratio of black to white family income moved from 53 per cent in 1961 to 63 per cent in 1971. One may question their 63 per cent figure, since the most recent statistics available to us put it at 61 per cent; but it is undeniably higher than it was ten yean earlier. What we are not told, however, is that this ratio is, above all, a fluctuating figure, whose inconsistency renders it unreliable as an indicator of trend In 1945, a quarter of a century earlier, the ratio was 57 per cent; it dropped thereafter, rose again ':' Veterans in school are HwUnrtui that in order to receive their checks for allowances under toe GI Bill they must make certain that the certificate of attendance is jefweidsd to the Veterans Administration. to 57 in 1952, and has occupied other points between then and now. In any event when seen in adequate perspective, it appears that the ratio rose from 57 per cent in 1945 to 61 per cent in 1970 - a total of four percentage points jL 25 .partis At this raje ot change, parity between Negroes and whites will be achieved somewhere around the year 2270, or about 300 yean hence". A third feature of the June-July issue of "The Crisis" is an article entitled, "The NAACP: Defender of Black Servicemen" in which Denton L. Watson delineates the organization's record -as the champion of Negroes in the Armed Forces. He traces this record from the pioneer work of W. E. B. Du Bois to the recent defense of the 23 black Kitty Hawk sailors. World of Work Workers Can't Be Fired For Reporting Violations By PETER J. BRENNAN Secretary of Labor B.R. of Toledo, Ohio, writes: A few weeks ago, my finger was cut off in an unguarded punch press Before the accident I asked the boti for guards on the machine, but didn't get them. So I com plained to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OS HA), and an inspector came and found my machine and several others in violation of safety stand ards. Now my boss says I can't work without the finger end hat fired me. But I think if l because I called in OSHA What can I do? Dear B.R.: The Occupational Safety and Health Act protects employees against discrimination for exercising their rights under the Act. Tp obtain this protection, you should file a complaint imme diately with OSHA, describing the (acts as you know them. OSHA will investigate and within 90 days will notify you of its decision on whether your employer discrimi nated against you. If he did, and he declines to take action, OSHA may take legal steps to have you re instated. R.C. of Tacoma, Washington, writes: Can you tell me what it meant when en area ii lilted by the Labor Department at having "per sistant" unemployment? Dear R.C.: Each month employ ment security agencies of each State submit reports to the labor Department covering employment and unemployment development! and outlook for labor area within their jurisdiction. The Labor De partment classifies an area as hav ins "persistent" unemployment when its jobless rate has averaged 6 percent or more of the work force during the past calendar year and the rate of unemployment has also been: (1) at least 50 percent above the national average rate for 3 of the preceding 4 calendar years, or (2) at least 75 percent above the national average for 2 of the preceding 3 calendar years, or (3) at least 100 percent above the national average for 1 of the pre- 1 ceding 2 calendar years. Firms in areas of "persistent" un employment that agree to hire dia-.: advantaged workers are eligible for preference in bidding on certain Federal procurement contracts. Areas of "persistent" unemploy ment axe potentially eligible for all types of assistance under the Public Works and Economic De velopment Act. An area may also qualify for limited assistance for public works activities if it had an unemployment rate of at least 6 percent for the most recent calen dar year.

She did a lot of home mission at her house. Sometimes she would find old sick men on her porch. She would say: "Who sent you here"? He would say: "Somebody sent me here and Blacks Are Still Unable To Close Housing Gap WASHINGTON -(NBNS) Although the quality of housing significantly improved during the 1960s and more Americans not only live in less crowded homes but also own second homes, blacks have been unable to close a long-time housing gap, according to a new Census Bureau study released last week. The. study, which is a compilation of housing statistics gleaned from the 1970 national census, indicates that American homes are less crowded and have more of the amenities--bathrooms, olumbine. and air conditioning. Th standaj4,.mjim.-4l determining crowded housing is the number of homes containing more than one person per room. In 1940, about 20 per cent of all homes in the United States were, measured by that standard, crowded. However, the 1970 census revealed that at present only eight per cent are crowded. The study also shows that more and more homes ore now equipped with air conditioning, washing machines, and freezers. The percentage of homes having air conditioning units increased from 12.4 per cent in 1960 to 36 per cent three years ago. Significant improvements were also noted in the South, which, for years, had the largest supply of housing lacking plumbing. In 1960, for example, about :h per cent oi Southern homes lacxea iun all told me that Mrs. Bragdon would not turn me away". The night was not too dark and the weather was never too cold that her door was not open to help somebody. She has taken people in and cared for them in her house until they died. People would say "i wouldn't take that old man in my house who is sick". She would say "Well, they have to die somewhere", She is the widow of the late Rev. William Bradgon and a citizen of Durham. The variety of work she and her husband have done for humanity is too much to mention. They have married many couples and buried people from out of their home trying to help them. They lived at 502 Fowler Avenue for 30 years. On April 20, 1972, she moved to Red Oak Avenue here in Durham. Mrs. Beulah Bragdon is to be commended for her outstanding Missionary work at her home and church. She is a member of Lincoln Memorial Baptist Church.
