Wheat Returns
Hard winter wheat, developed

by Mennonite immigrants
from the ykraine in the

made Kansas the leading
wheat state. Now the Soviet
Union is buying it back.
It would take all the pages

publishes in a year just to
list all of today's applications
of computers.
Doll Trunk Is Thing Of Beauty
, '"v%
Her Hobby Is Repairing, Caning
By KEN FERRUCCIO
Staff Writer
Mrs. Katherine Bender
likes to work with her hands.
She used to sew until her
eyesight started to fail. But
that didn't stop her.
A few years ago, Mrs.
Emily Ballinger, of the
Homemaker's Extension
Service in Warrenton, gave
a course on how to repair old
trunks.
Then Vance Tech offered
a course on caning furniture.
Mrs Bender attended
both of these classes, and in
her spare time began
repairing trunks and caning
furniture as a hobby.
But news of her work soon
spread, far beyond Warren
County, from Florida to
New York, and then she
found herself repairing
trunks and caning furniture
for people all over the
United States.
It was time for Mrs.
Bender to set up shop. She
chose the porch.
One of Mrs. Bender's
prize works of art is a little
doll trunk, which resembles
a pirate's treasure chest.
She intends to paint the
squares on top of the trunk
red and cover them with
pink lace. Each side will
have two brass handles
connected by a little golden
chain.
The former Katherine
Limer of Afton, Mrs. Bender
has lived in the lovely old
Collins home for 33 yearsThe
original part was built
in 1790, the front in 1914.
Her husband, Leonard,
a native of Ridgeway, helps
her repair trunks and will be
able to spend more time on
them when he retires in five
years.
Mrs. Bender's studio
faces east, where, on a
recent day. the morning sun
shone through the windows
and enhanced the loveliness
of old things renewed.
This doll trunk Mrs. Bender is reconstructing will make a lovely gift. Trunks, she
says, are very difficult to repair because they come "all in pieces." (Staff Photo)

Japanese Legend
A Japanese legend says a
princess was taken by force
from her lover's arms on the
shore of Ago Bay in Japan
and the Queen of Night wept
tears of moonglow at the
sight. The teardrops fell into
the bay and later were
recovered by men as the
pearls for which the bay's
oysters were-noted even
nftvrio make cultured
pearls.

Warren County Firetrucks
Reflect Colors Of Rainbow
By HELEN HOWARD
Every child knows that fire trucks are red and
everyone knows the thrill and excitement
evolving a racing fire truck with sirens blaring.
But Warren County children can now color a
fire truck yellow, blue, or white.
The blaring siren may be mounted on one of
those colored trucks. Warren County volunteer
fire department have recently done away with
tradition and painted various trucks, including
woods trucks, a rainbow of colors.
A recent poll of rural auxiliary fire
departments indicated that most have fire
trucks of colors other than red.
Warrenton has a yellow truck; Ridgeway, a
white one; Afton-Elberon has a royal blue
vehicle and Macon, an orange one.
The fire companies throughout North Carolina
have gotten away from the tradition, including
the black attire worn by firemen, to insure better
night vision a fireman said. The red trucks blend
into the night so automotive industries are now
manufacturing yellow and lime fire trucks.
Nevertheless, they are still fire trucks.
Citizens of the county should be warned to obey
the same regulations pertaining to the
traditional red truck.
