Now Is Time To Plan For Summer Camp
By GEOBGE W. KOONCE
4-H*ciuBp wm^hiid July
11-16 at BetsyJeff Penn 4-H
Center near Reidsville, North
Carolina. We will have fun,
make new friends, swim, go
canoeing, study wildlife, have a
picnic, ball games, and lots of
other fun activities. An
afternoon tour while at camp is
being considered.
Special ClaasesI!!—(1) Horsemanship-Learn
to ride a
horse-Costs an extra $12.00.
(Limited enrollment), (2) Music
and Song Leadership-Principles
I. .1
and instruction including playing
recorder and autoharp.
(Limited enrollment).
Any 4-H'er or special interest
youth is eligible to go to 4-H
Camp. ACT NOW- it's first
come first served. Because' we
are requesting to participate in
a Special Federal Summer Food
Service Program, it is necessary
that we collect a
non-refundable deposit from
each camper.
The Special Federal Summer
Food Service Program for nonprofit
camps may enable us to
reduce the camp fee by $10.00
to only $35.00 per camper. It is
anticipated that if 34% of all
campers come from families of
low income, we can receive an
allotment of about $10.00 for
food for each camper.
Presently guidelines show
about 50% of all families in
North Carolina are in the low
income bracket, so we feel
confident our campers for the
week including Carteret, Pamlico,
and Vance Counties can
qualify.
Make application and $10.00
deposit by April 15 to: G. W.

Divorce Rote Keeps Rising .
American Family Is In Deep Trouble
By BERTHA B. FORTE
Home Extension Agent
The divorce rate keeps rising; the number of runaway
children keeps multiplying; there are more cases of child abuse
than ever before. So it appears that the American family is in
trouble.
It's true. There are many troubled families. But, we're often
too busy pointing the blaming finger at the families
themselves—to take a look at what we can do to help.
We're too quick to say the cause of delinquent children is
working mothers—or the cause of so many divorces is selfish
people. The real cause of these problems is not that simple.
Families are too often left on their own to coDe with all the
pressures of today's society. What we need to do, is provide
more support for these families. We can do thia at the
community level by supporting organizations and agencies that
work with troubled families. And we can do this individually in
the way we treat others.
For example, if we see a young mother whose children are
too much for her at times, perhaps we could offer to care for one
or more of them for an afternoon to give her a break.
Or, if we know a lonely person who might appreciate a family
meal and companionship, we could invite that person over.
After all, we would appreciate someone being kind to one of our
family members under the same circumstances.
So, rather than shrugging our shoulders and saying someone
else is the cause of society's problems, we should look around
and see where we fit in.
