Centerville Native Is
Fireman Of Week
A Centerville native who
joined the Rocky Mount Fire
Department about two years
?go has been honored by the
Evening Telegram as "Fire
mini of the Week". B. Melville
Griffin, Jr., son of Mr. and
Mrs B. Melville Griffin, Sr. of

lengthy Sunday article by the
Rocky Mount newspaper.

describes Griffin as being
relatively new at the game"

achieved the position of en
gineer. entailing the driving
and operating of the various
fire engines at headquarters
station to which he is assign
ed," the article says.
The newspaper quotes
Griffyi as saying, "This is a
risky business, but the know
ledge that some citizens are
alive because of you makes all
the effort worthwhile. This
business takes a lot of deter
mination and guts. We each
strive to be the best in our
profession."
He credits his late uncle
; ,re Captain Steve Gupton
for having had "a great in
fluence on my thinking and
deciding in this direction " "I
enjoy it -I really do," he add

Regional
H. E. Asso.
Launched
Home economists from 16
counties will meet together
April 26, 1969, at 10:00
A.M.. at Public Service Gas
Company. 1720 HiUsborough
Street. Raleigh, North Caro
lina, to launch a regional
home economics association.
The new association will be a
spin-off of the state-wide
I,500 member North Caro
lina Home Economics Asso
ciation.
The state organization has
the framework to cope with
genera! problems within the
area of family living, but it is
unable to tackle situations
peculiar to one area of the
state, Mrs. Bernice S. Harris,
Associate Home Economics
Extension Agent, temporary
chairman of the regional asso
ciation, said today. The Im
portant problem may be man
agement in one region of the
state; consumer competence
in another, she explained.
Under the new organiza
tional structure, each region
may define the problem it
believes to be most pressing
and work toward its solution.
The five other regions may
select unrelated challenges.
Other benefits of the new
association include: the op
portunity for greater profes
sional participation, a chance
for home economists to be
come acquainted with other
persons in the same field, a
more compact method of ex
pediting business and coor
dinating activities, and hope
fully increased membership.
Serving on the steering
committee with Mrs. Harris
are Mrs. Marjorie Leonard,
Home Economics Teacher,
Franklin County; Mrs.
Lavone Pickens. Public Ser
vice Gas Company - Business;
Mrs. R. U. Taylor, Home
maker; and Miss Jean Wolf,
Meredith College Student.
Coffee hour will be from
9:30 to 10:00 during the
registration.
The great trouble with
luck Is that it often disap
pears when you need it most.

Growers in all upland cot

permit the transfer of 1970
cotton acreage allotments to
farms in other counties by

If in any county at least
two-thirds of the growers vot

of that County will be per

lease agreement filed with the
county ASC committee be
tween June 1 and December
31, 1969, where an allotment
is transferred within or out
side a county, will, if approv

years specified in the lease.)
Allotments may not be shift

Where approved by at least
two-thirds of the growers vot
