The board voted unanimously
to paint pavement to
designate sidewalk areas in
front of the Harris Laundromat
and Cam's 66 Service

to aid pedestrian traffic.
Board members relayed
citizens complains of automobiles
blocking the flow of
foot traffic at both sites.
Action was taken to
remove a non-working stoplight

consider placing a caution

Church and Bragg streets
after turning down a request
for four-way stop signs at
that intersection.

Warren County Health Center.
funds before oura were
allocated," be continued.
The computer print-out
listing all allocatlona to
Nortb Carolina noted Warren
County was not eligible
because the unemployment
rate was not above t.S
percent. Hayes said that
Was true if numbers of
unemployment, not percentages,
were used.
"The money allocated for
North Carolina may have
been eaten up before it
reached Warren County,"
Herb Gerardy, of EDA's
Washington office, said.
According to the formula
set up by EDA officials, the
14 billion was to be allocated
on a 65-35 percent basis.
Every state was to receive
funds from 65 percent of the
total, and states with
unemployment rates higher
than 6.5 percent would
receive extra funds from the
remaining 35 percent.
Following the allocation to
each state, the individual
state could keep some of the
money, and dole out the
remainder to its counties.
"Counties were allocated
first, then poverty areas
within the city," said
Gerardy. The primary city
within a county was the last
to receive funding, he said.
Unemployment rates for
counties were looked at, and
then the potential for the
project providing employment
was studied," said
Gerardy. An area might
have had an unemployment
rate higher than 6.5 percent,
he continued, but if high
numbers of people were not
going to benefit, the project
might not have been funded.
"We have written Charles
Oxley (director of EDA's
Atlanta office) and asked
for a review," said Hayes
this morning. "That's about
all we can do." Officials
first thought an error had
been made in the computer
printout, and calls were put
in to EDA's Washington and
Atlanta offices, Don Everette,
executive director of
Kerr-Tar Regional Council
of Government in Henderson
said.
The error, however, was
only in the main office
where the printout used by
Gerardy said Warren County
was funded in the first
round of Public Works
Grants.
"I would suggest the
county ask for a review,"
said Gerardy, after he
looked in the listing of round
one allocations and found
Warren County had not been
funded.
In the first round, the
county received word it had
been funded. A check with
EDA officials showed that
the letter was incorrectly
worded and subsequently
delivered, and the project
had not been funded.
Oxley said at the time the
project had been turned
down because not enough
environmental data on the
affect the water project
would have on surrounding
areas was available.
He assured Warren County
and North Carolina
officials several weeks ago,
however, that the new
application was in order,
and he felt certain funding
would come through.

An appropriate theme, "Milk Measures Up," has been
selected for the 40th June Dairy Month observance. First
of all, milk measures up to high standards of quality as a
fluid product. Cheeses, ice cream, yogurt, buttermilk,
dry milk solids, evaporated milk, butter and other foods
are often processed from this milk. Through the efforts of
the dairy industry there is a constant, wholesome supply
of milk twelve months of the year.
Milk measures up as an outstanding food. It is a source
of important nutrients especially calcium, protein and
riboflavin. Milk is unusual for it is a beverage and a food.
Milk and its products measure up to great enjoyment in
eating.
Of all the great American dairy products, yogurt has
been one of the least known. During Biblical times,
people in the Middle East discovered yogurt. They found
that when milk was left in a warm place, it thickened and
developed a different tart flavor. More importantly, it
had better keeping qualities. Surprisingly enough, yogurt
did hot appear in the United States until 1940.
Today, yogurt has moved from the health-giving
food-faddest approach to a place in the diet as a smooth,
elegant, good tasting and versatile food. Yogurt is a
cultured milk product usually made from fresh, partially
skim milk, enriched by the addition of nonfat dry milk to
which a special cultural of lactic acid bacteria had been
added. The nutritive value of yogurt is the same as the
milk from which it is made. Yogurt is available plain,
flavored and in several styles. Be a label-reader when
making a selection at the dairy counter in order to know
specifically what your purchase is.
A few hints will be helpful in cooking successfully with
yogurt. (1) Spare the heat. Low temperatures and short
heating times are best or, like sour cream, yogurt may
separate. (This won't hurt the flavor any, it might not
make the food as attractive.) (2) To prevent separation
stabilize yogurt by adding a small amount of flour or
cornstarch. (3) Fold, do not stir yogurt into other
ingredients and it will keep its consistancy. (4) For
baking, use only V4 teaspoon of baking soda for each cup
of yogurt used.
For a different flair to old favorite foods try yogurt in a
dip with spring vegetables, a casserole and potato salad.
You will think of numerous other ways in include yogurt
