in the absence of new legislation
tor the 1971 wheat crop,
current law requires that the

a second Congressional resolution

April 14, 1970, a national wheat
marketing quota of 1,210 million
bushels and a national allotment
of 43.5 million acres.
A two-thirds or more "yes"
vote for marketing quotas would
bring a domestic marketing
certificate, valued at 91.30 per
bushel, the tptal price support
on that portion of the crop
then would be $3.54 per bushel
—90 percent of parity as of July
1# 1970. Domestic certificates
would be Issued subject to
penalty.
If the referendum fails
to carry, the price-support loan
rate would be mandatory at

based on current parity. Loans
only would be available to producers
remaining within their
1971 allotment acreages.

the mall referendum on marketing
quotas were announced

Lottery
No. Is 173
Scott Gardner, Chairman, and
Mr«. Wlnntefred K. Thompson,
Executive Secretary of Local
Draft Board 94, announced this
week that Random Sequence
Number 173 la the highest lottery
number reached by the
local board so far this year.
They also said that the local
board's draft calls for the remainder
of 1970 probably can be
filled without going beyond number
173, but this will not definitely
be known until sometime
In November when the
local board's induction call
for December is received from
State Headquarters.
- The local board spokesmen
said that In compliance with the
recently announced White House
Executive Order, all registrants
of Local Board 94
who are In Class I-A or Class
I-A-O on December 31, 1970,
and who hold a lottery number
equal to or lower than the
highest number reached by the
board during 1970, but who, for
any reason, are not Issued orders
to report for Induction
prior to December 31, 1970,
will be carried over for induction
during the first three
months of 1971. These registrants
will be inducted before
the registrants who otherwise
would be first eligible for induction
in 1971, such as registrants
in Class 1-a and Class
1-A-O who become 19 during
1970 and registrants in Class
1-A and Class 1-A-O who have
reached age 20, but not age
26, whose deferments have expired.
Gardner also stated that the
Presidential Executive Order
provides that registrants who
hold lottery numbers above the
highest lottery number reached
by Local Board No. 94 during
1970, and who are classified
1-A or 1-A-O on December 31,
1970, will be placed in a lower
draft priority group for 1971.
With respect to those registrants
whose vulnerability is
extended into the first three
months of 1971, they further
announced,that the local board
will attempt to notify each
registrant of his vulnerability
just as soon as possible.
Gardner also stated the board
has not yet had an opportunity
to study the complete text
of the Presidential Executive
Order, or other directives from
Selective Service Nailonal
Headquarters concerning the
lottery, but Just as soon as the
study has been completed, the
local board will make every
effort to inform the public
of the pertlment facts Involved.
"We are very anxious,"
Gardner continued, "to make
certain that the policies and
directives are correctly interpreted
before making any
further announcements concerning
the policy revisions."

Fun Festival For
Senior Citizens To
Be Held At Fair
By MRS. BERTHA B. FORTE
H. Eco. Exten. Agent
The Ninth Annual Fun Festival

cow calling, etc., scattered

which will add richness to the
total program.
Prizes will be given for the
largest onion, sweet potato,

pepper pod, and the most

Housewives Should
Report Help's Wages
RALEIGH—Housewives who
employ help around the house
on a regular basis have two important
mailing chores to perform
before October 31, according
to Robert A. Flynn,
social security district manager
in Raleigh.
These are the mid - summer
and the early fall quarterly reports
of wages and the social
security contributions paid on
those wages, he said. The payments—due
by the end of July
for the months of April, May
and June; and by the end of
October for July, August and
September — cover all house
employees who are paid cash
wagus of $50 or more by one
employer in a calendar quarter.
Contributions are based only
on cash wages. Cash or tokens
given to the worker-for car
fare count as wages. But the
room and board allowance for a
"line-in" domestic employee
does not count.
The worker and the employer
each contribute 4.8 percent
of the worker's wages to social
security. In some cases, the
employer may choose to pay the
entire 9.6 percent contribution
himself. But It Is the employer,
Flynn pointed out, who Is
responsible under the law for
making the reports.
Information about social security
for household workers Is
available from any social security
office.

India's Cobras Have Redeeming Qualities
1 -W
WASHINGTON--In Indlt the
deadly cobra 1a known as the
"Good Snake."
To millions of devout Hindus,
the reptile has deep religious
significance, primarily as a
symbol of fertility. Farmers
value the snake, because It
exterminates rats which destroy
vast quantities of grain
and spread disease.
Harry Miller, a cobra expert
who keeps a colony of the
serpents penned In his backyard
In India, offers an unusual
profile of the snakes In the September
National Geographic.
The cobra Is not the vicious

Nutrition Program
Extension Homemakers Club
members of Chatham County
have solved the problem of supplying
needed dishes, pots and
pans to families enrolled In the
Expanded Nutrition Program.
They have donated these
items for distribution to needy
families in their communities.
Mrs. E. J. Clark, member
of the Hickory Mountain Club,
remarked, "The children came
running out to the car and we
gave each one something to
carry in."
She added, "The families
really appreciated all we' took
them."
This Is one of the ways that
Extension Homemakers are
^cooperating with the Expanded
Nutrition Program, Mrs.
Annabel Powers, home economics
extension agent, observes.
There are 73 Chatham County
families enrolled with 432
persons in these families,
the agent added. Fifty-two out
of the 73 families are getting
food stamps, she notes.
formed, say* Mr. Millar. "I am
convinced," ha writes, 'that tt
is often wrongly blamed for fatalities,
and that of soma 10,000
Indian snake bite deaths a
year, many attributed to cobras
are caused by other species,
particularly vipers.
"These do not move out of
your way and are easily stepped
on In the dark, whereas cobras
aenslbly slide away * the first
footfall of man. Often the culprit
Is never seen andthe cobra,
since It Is India's best-known
snake, gets the blame."
A cobra's bite Is not necessarily
fatal. TTie creature does
not always Inject venom, and
when tt does the dose may not be
fatal. Symptoms of poisoning
appear In only about half the
people bitten by poisonous
snakes; many often recover with
no treatment at all.
Doctors have even prescribed
cobra venom to treat arthritis.
In some cases a purified
and diluted form of the poison
relieves severe pain without
producing the undesirable side
effects of opiates. ,
Surviving all dangers, a wild
cobra can live as long as 20
years, though most have much
shorter life spans. Wild pigs and
peafowl prey on the creatures.
Hunters all over Indiacatchand
skin the snakes for tanning. In
Madras one tannery alone processes
500 cobra skins a day
for handbags and wallets.
Snake charmers also take a
heavy toll. Mr. Miller examined
hundreds of snakes in baskets.
"Not one," he reports,
"has been found with Its fangs
Intact, and all of them wera suffering
from starvation, because
the cobra, a most sensitive
snake, refuses to take food
except under ideal conditions."
The cobra fights predators

The menacing sight holds
little terror for some Indians.
For Instance, villagers In
Shlrala In west-central India
believe that the god Shiva

sages a boon. The sage asked
for protection of his people for
all time against cobras.
The boon was granted, and
