Safety Reminder
Is Given Here
A reminder to keep
the holiday season safe
was issued this week by
Mrs. Hy Diamond,
chairman of the Public
Affairs Department of
the Warrenton Woman's
Club.
"As you shop for and
put up - holiday
decorations, keep safe
ty in mind," Mrs.
Diamond urged. "Much
of the glitter and
glamour is actually
hazardous.
"For instance, many
at the colorful, Import-,
ed ornaments are coated
with toxic paint.
Though they're harmless
for an adult to
handle, small children
tend to put some of the
things they like the
moat into their mouths.
"And some of these
ornaments are appealing
to children - folk
toys, jumping Jades and
these sorts of novelties.
So hang them high far
out d the reach of
small hands - and pets,
too.
"Then there are the
woven rush mats - so
often used as a candle
base. Very few of these
are treated for flame
retardancy - so they're
highly flammable.
"Other items often
grouped around candle
arrangements are highly
flammable too - the
pine boughs, straw
figures or cornhusk
dolls.
"So as you decorate
- or buy decorations think
safety first," she
said.

N. C. Museum of History Associates has acquired
antique North Carolina-made silver for the permanent
Museum collection. Pictured above are two
tablespoons handcrafted by Thomas Machen in the
early 1800's. To the left above is a cream pitcher by
New Bern silversmith Freeman Woods; and at the
right a tankard made by Bernard Dupuy of Raleigh.
Antique Silver
Purchase Made
Four pieces of antique
North Carolinamade
silver have been
purchased for the State
Museum of History
through funds provided
by the Museum's 5,000member
statewide support
group, the North
Carolina Museum of
History Associates.
The new acquisitions
were announced by Jim
and Diane Davis, Warren
County chairmen
for the Museum Associates.
Others serving on
the Warren County
Committee are Lou
Traylor, Nellie Gardner,
Marie Martin,
Richard Hunter,
Bugg and Sallie White.
According to Mary
Reynolds Peacock, editor,
Cutten's Silversmiths
of North Carolina,
the silver purchases
include two table
spoons handcrafted by
New Bern silversmith
Thomas Machen in the
early 1800's.
"With the exception
of one piece in the
collection of the
Museum of Early
Southern Decorative
Arts in Winston-Salem,
the spoons are the only
known silver which
carries the Machen
mark," Mrs. Peacock
said.
Two pieces of North
Carolina holloware
were other recent purchases,
a cream pitcher
made by New Bern
silversmith Freeman
Woods and a tankard
made by Bernard Dupuy
of Raleigh. Mrs.
Peacock noted that less
than 30 pieces of North
Carolina-made holloware
are known to
exist, making these
pieces even more rare
and unique. The Museum
did not own holloware
made by either
Woods or Dupuy. Woods
was one of North
Carolina'* earliest
silversmiths, advertising
in New Bern in 1794,
she said. Dupuy advertised
in Raleigh newspapers
from 1827
through 1843, one ad announcing
a splendid
new store at 10 Fayetteville
Street.
Mrs. Peacock stated
that in her opinion the
Museum now owns the
premier collection of
antique North Carolina
silver, based on number
of pieces and silversmiths
represented.
"This distinction has
been achieved because
the associates have
made numerous silver
purchases In recent
jeers," she said. The
silver collection is <Hs
played at the Museum
in Raleigh and at
Museum Days which
are held in communities
throughout the state.
According to the
Da vises, "The Associates
are actively seeking
silver to fill existing
gaps in the Museum's
North Carolina silver
collection. The cost of
these recent acquisitions
alone is almost as
much as the museum's
annual $4,500 acquisitions
budget provided
by the state." She
added that without
membership funds the
Museum could not have
acquired the silver.
Memberships begin at
$15 and may be obtained
by calling any
member of the Warren
County Committee.

Being overweight is a personal problem, but
one that is shared by at least 30 percent of
adults in this country, Oure is aland of plenty,
yet malnutrition due to overweight has
become our number one problem and cause of
most diseases. This problem of overweight is
caused by a consumption of more food energy
than we burn up — the remainder of this food
energy is stored as fat.
Experience shows that weight loss is also
directly related to the degree of interest and
enthusiasm a person has about losing weight
Any successful loss of weight is a "do it yourself'
thing and depends on how faithfully you
cut bade on calories and increase exercise.
Anyone who sticks to these two principles will
be able to lose excess weight and keep it off!
Mary M. Harris of Warrenton, our OctoberNovember
contest winner, is (me such person
who has faithfully stood by these two principles.
Ms. Harris lost 13% pounds during the
past eight-week Weigh-in Contest by cutting
down her daily calorie intake and increasing
her dailv amount of exercise and physical activities.
For one reason or another, Ms. Harris
was motivated to lose that excess weight. But
what reason could she or anyone have to maintain
the enthusiasm needed for such a meaningful
life change?
Mr. Leigh Traylor, owner and operator of
LEIGH'S CLOTHING STORE in Norlina,
stated that "there any number of reasons why
an individual would be motivated to lose
weight One reason I see most often, beipg in
the clothing business, is for someone to lose
weight to improve his appearance. But as
we all know, the most important reason is
your health. Being overweight causes so many
health problems in young and old alike. And
time people need motivation to conquer their
problem."
Fortunately there are people like Mr.
Traylor in the county who see this need for
motivation and are willing to help us, the Community
Hypertension Staff, in providing such
motivation in our Weigh-In Contests. We, the
CHP staff, and LEIGH'S OF NORLINA congratulate
Ms. Harris for her efforts toward
improving her i^Wi. urge others in the county
to Jote the contest and wish everyone a
healthy and happy holiday season.
