Housing Outlook For 1972
GUEST EDITORIAL
By Linda Harrell,
Associate II. E. Extension
Agent
In mid-1971, total new housing starts in the
United States were up 49 per cent over the same
period in 1970 according to W. C. Warrick, Housing
Specialist. A record breaking total of 2 million was
expected for the year. The North Carolina housing
market was about as strong, wth 44,122 starts by
September 1971, up 31 per cent over the same period
: for 1970. The dollar value of this new building in
: North Carolina was up 33 per cent in 1971 over 1970,
for a total of $731 million, but the square footage was
increased by only 22 per cent. The Research
Triangle area was one of the strongest housing
markets on the eastern seaboard.
In 1971, 467 thousand new mobile homes were
manufactured in the United States, up 15 per cent
over 1970. They made up about 20 per cent of the new
homes available. Construction costs for con
ventional homes were up from 8 to 10 per cent over
the previous year, with the medium price for new
one-family homes around $25,000.
Fuel and utilities prices increased the most in
the past year, while home ownership costs increased
the least. Both of these items, and rental costs,
reversed previous four-year price trends. Home
mortgages financed 96 per cent of new homes.In
jparly 1971, the foreclosure rate was about 20 per cent
' above 1970 but less than its high in 1968. Interest
rates ranged from 7.25 toi a little over 8 per cent, arid
money was available to meet most needs. Certain
y. -Speedy families received 1 per cent loans with other
-I-iinterest subsidized. Applications and approvals for
' "publicly financed, low-rent housing appeared to be
above 50 per cent lower than in 1970. Much of the
drop was in request for construction for elderly
i. .'residents. ,

Something's happened to our value judgment. We are
''. limelighting demagogues but letting contemporary history's
;;leading men live unheralded and die unnoticed,
i-;-: I'm going to dig one of them up no disrespect Intended just
--'iong enough for us to reconsider what we've had and what we've
lost.
You know what I think it is? If a man has been rewarded
, , materially and dies naturally we kinda figure he needs no further
accolade.
- How else can you explain the way we let the giants of the stature
of Gen. David Sarnoff depart without a salute.
.. Well, let me say this about them: "No memory of having
-starred makes up for later disregard or keeps the end from being
hard."
It's been weeks now since the
passing of this communications
pioneer and not even the industry
:: which owed him its life has properly
marked his passing.
-. So many have contributed so much
.-less to social and economic well-being
; -of their fellows and we have raised the
'Flag, dimmed the lights, canceled
-Commercials, created memorials and watered their graves with
; our tears.
I am not regretting that we honored them.
., Ira only concerned that we appear incapable of tears when a
lifelong dreative, productive, superlative genius goes to his
. grave.
, ; u David Sarnoff had been snatched from us in his middle years
by violence or accident perhaps we might have responded more
1 emotionally. "What a tragedy!" "What a loss!"
- . , j j But since he hd given us most of his years for most of a century
' ,f anddiedinbedIguesswenured we'dhadallhehad togive so
let him go. i
' ? , Yes, I am a hero worshiper. It seems to me that the boys of my
, . ' . youth were most motivated by emulating the uncommon men.

Lesson
OUR COMPASSIONATE
CHRIST
iDternatioaal . . Sunday School
Lesson for January . W72
LESSON TEXT: Luke $:27-32
7:11-,3M0; 10:15-57
Our lesson for today lies in the
Book of Luke. A gifted and
brilliant writer, Luke records at
length Christ's compassionate
concern for all mankind.
Christ the Savior, was ever
the challenger of the prevailing
religious and social prejudices
that existed in His day and
time; the bring er of hope to the
under-privileged and down
trodden, to the despised and the
outcast. He was the champion of
the needy, and the rebuker of
the oppressor.
The spiritual and redemptive
mission of our Lord was woven
like a golden thread through the
fabric of His total Person.
There is little doubt that he
was regarded as somewhat of a
radical in His day and time, for
the boundaries of class
distinction were sharply drawn
in Biblical days. The Pharisees
and Scribes were educated men
devoted to observance of the
religious laws of their time,
whereas publicans and tax
collectors were virtually
relegated to the level of un
touchables. Christ demon
strated, however, that He felt
the Pharisees gave too much
importance to the letter of the
law, and too little to the thought
behind it. In Christ's mission
spiritual commitment was
more meaningful than mere lip
service and strict observance of
ritual acts. Christ firmly
believed in going where He was
most needed, and this was His
stance when criticized. "They
that are whole need not a
physician; but they that are
sick... I came not to call the
righteous, but sinners to
repentance." ( Luke 5: verses 31
and 32.)
The superiority manifested
by the Pharisees came in for
severe rebuke from our Lord.
He did not hesitate to say that
their attitude was judgmental,
rather than redemptive, and He
put them to shame many times,
for He viewed spiritual integrity
in a far different Ight from that
of His critics.
Christ's compassion extended
to ALL mankhd...it was not
reserved only for those who
f followed His doctrines. , The
woman whose only son was
raised from the dead 'and
restored to her was not of the
Christian faith; Christ's heart
was moved with pity for her
sorrow and His response to her
need was instinctive. No con
ditions of service were
demanded in return for the
boy's renewed lease on life, for
this was not Christ's way. Christ
was merely demonstrating, by
example, that compassion
must, of necessity, involve itself
in the hapless plight of others.
Christ's compassion showed
itself again in the humane and
tender treatment he accorded
the sinning woman in the house
of Simon, the Pharisee.
Repentance was offered and
accepted with all the gentleness
of Spirit that His followers had
come to love and respect.
Any sincere Christian is, of
necessity, constrained to accept
Christ's attitudes as his own. It
is easy for us to pity someone
we do not particularly like, and
to feel compassion for those who
are dear to us. The true test of
our personal worth, however,
lies in our ability to feel com
passion for ALL men... as He
did.

It's hard enougn on a fellow
with two real good eyes but
when a person like this writer
who wears cataract contacts
watches parts of several New
Year's Parades and then four
Bowl games, he's ready to cut
the TV off and go to bed...
believe me. ..I enjoyed every bit
of it on New Year's Day and was
a little sorry when the final
game of the day was over..some
of my favorites won and some of
them lost, but that's to be ex
pected... in the Sugar Bowl,
Oklahoma walloped Auburn, 40
22 for an enexpected one-sided
game . Penn State clobbered
Texas in the Cotton Bowl, 30-6 in
a big surprise.. .in the Rose
Bowl, Stanford upset powerful
Michigan in the most exciting
game of the entire day, 13-12
and in the nightcap in Miami,
Nebraska crushed Alabama
( my favorite) 38-6 in the Orange
Bowl. ..it just goes to prove that
the so-called "experts" dont
know any more about winning
and losing than us poor country
fellows. ..then on Sunday, I
watched every play of both
championship pro games.. .as
the Dallas Cowboys defeated
the 49'ers, 14-3 and the Miami
Dolphins shutout the favored
Baltimore Colts and Unitas, 21-0
in another big surprise.. .so it's
now the Dolphins vs. Cowboys
in the Super Bowl.. .should be
one whale of a game.. .this
warm weather is unbelievable
for December and early
January, isn't it. ..whenever
have we been comfortable in
shirtsleeves during the
Holidays?.. .it's just not
natural. ..but I still believe
we're going to have some frigid
weather and some heavy snows
before too long. ..Kevin, my
secretary's four-year-old son,
has really had it tough for
several days.. .he's been under
the oxygen tent at Memorial
Mission Hospital but was able to
come back to his home on
Monday. ..his Mother, Jean, has
been at his side practically all
the time and when she came in
Monday afternoon she found
plenty of work to do which had
THE RED RIVER VALLEY
.
Near Byblos, . the oldest
town in the world, in pic
turesque Lebanon, a river
empties into the Mediterra
nean regularly coloring the
normally blue-green waters
blood-red for several miles in
to the sea
Legend has it that it is the
blood of Adonis, the hand
some Phoenician god who
was slain by a wild boar at
the river's source
Actually, it is the iron con
tent of the soil that is dis
lodged by the increased
current of the river as it
winds its way through the
valley In early spring, too,
the hills on each side of the
Nahr Ibrahim are dotted with
scarlet anemones drops of
the same divine blood that
flowed from Adonis' wounds.
They are gathered by tourists
and picnickers, who come
from all over Lebanon to
gather them, giving them a
semi-mystical power.
According to the Greeks
and Romans, Adonis was
born of the incestuous union
of King Cynyras of Cyprus
and his daughter Myrrhs,
mother earth who trans
formed herself into a tree be
fore giving birth to him.
On reaching manhood,
Adonis was of such extra
ordinary beauty that the
Gods became jealous of him
When he and Venus were
hunting, the war god. Mars,
sent wild boar to kill him in
the cedar forests of Mount
Ubanon, (th Ctdut the
nation) symbol of Lebanon)
From then his blood fell on
the (round (giving rise to the
anemone).
Adonis made his way to
the riwr and when Venus
bathed his wounds there, the
water was stained red with his
blood.
For eeaturies after.
occupants of the valley have
kept up ntaal dance and
stage rites in Afka every
February, singing dirges and
thro wing as effigy of Adonis

accumulated during her ab
sence and during the
holidays. ..Bill Wright,
publisher of THE STATE
magaxine, sent me one of the
attractive Down Home in North
Carolina calendars with pic
tures by Bruce Roberts... the
calendar is most attractive, all
pictures wonderful. ..and the
month of December has the
picture of Mary and Joseph's
crossing the bridge in Marshall
during the annual Christmas
Pageant. ..we appreciate this
recognition very much, Bill,
and hope you can get up to the
next Pageant. ..Glenn Whitley,
our pastor, stated Sunday
morning that he had had a call
from Wade Huey from a hotel in
Jerusalem stating that the
group which is touring the Holy
Lands and Greece is having a
marvelous time... when the
siren blew about 11 p.m.
Monday night I phoned the jail
and found out the fire was in
Bumsvllle and the local firemen
were needed... I quickly got
ready and "Bill" said she was
going with me... we left quickly
and joined the firemen from
Marshall, Mars Hill, Spruce
Pine, Burnsville, Newdale and
others.. .it was a terrific fire,
destroying three businesses on
the Burnsville Square. ..the
firemen worked fine together
and I was: glad to see the
Marshall and Mars Hill firemen
assist our neighboring coun
ty... Chief Joe Fisher and the
firemen from Marshall
dispatched two trucks to the fire
and did a fine job... the sudden
and unexpected death of Mrs.
Ray Donald Coates Monday
night was shocking and
sad.. .Pat was a lovely girl,
friendly, intelligent and
popular. ..we sympathize with
Ray Donald and members of the
families. ..real glad to hear that
Marshall has a new Police
car.. .it's hard for a policeman
to enforce the laws correctly
without a vehicle. ..several
people from out-of-state and
out-of-county have written
nicely about the Pageant.. .hope
they'll come back...
into the water in memory of
his death. It is said in the
villages of the valley that
after these often licentious
rites the Adonis worshippers
march up over Mount
Hermon to throw themselves
into Venus' sacred lake of
Yammone for purification.
Today, bits of the belief
and ceremonies still persist
and an Adonis Festival is now
celebrated each spring, with
folk dancing, plays, proces
sions and picnics There, the
sick still hang bits of clothing
in the hope of being cured

Woman's Observations7
By DOROTHY BRIGMAN SHUPE
Well, 1973 is well on the way
and I've worked two days and
feel like I've worked a week! If
that storm that has been
developing out west will soon
get here, I might get to sleep a
few mornings more, but guess
I'd better stop foolish wishing
and get to work in earnest.
Did you have a big time for
New Year's Eve? We dldnt do
anything exciting-well, yes,
we did stay up long enough to
see Shupe's new watch turn
over from Friday the 31st to
Saturday, the first! We got him
one of those watches for
Christmas that tells the date
and day and it does change at 12
midnight. Maybe next year
we'll even stay up till one
o'clock!
Did you notice my special
greetings from the Canton
workers last week? Gee, Canton
friends, that really made my
day! I was checking along there
to see how silly I had sounded
last week, and it was such a
thrill to think someone thought
of me one time! I hope all of
you are enjoying the New Year
and that one of these days, I'll
get to come over and see how
this great paper gets put
together.
We had Debating Club this
afternoon and I wish you could
have heard Jim Baker, Teresa
Johnson, Larry Ledford, Susan
Frisby, and Patricia Fisher
arguing about women having
equal rights with all others.
They really presented some
good solutions and I can't really
say who won because they
weren't judged.
My, we had two or three
students get married and
several get engagement rings. I
still preach to them to wait until
they finish school, but I don't
get through to all of them. Many
students got watches but most
of them got pretty new clothes.
Delinquent youth
program being
tested in N. C.
By NANCY DUCKETT
An experimental program for
selected delinquent youth is
, being held at two North
7 Carolina locations,,,
This programTw'nlch stresses
rehabilitation for the young folk
in the state's training schools, is
designed to prepare the boys for
specific jobs after they are
released.
Brainchild of Dr. Roger
Woodbury, director of special
programs, Department of
Youth Development, the
program is a cooperative effort
between his department and the
Department of Community
Colleges. Rowan and Richmond
technical institutes are the sites
for the training. Attending the
Rowan program are boys from
Stonewall Jackson Training
School in Concord, and the
Richmond program is for boys
at the Cameron Morrison
Training School in Hoffman.
All of the boys are 16 years
old.
The one-year projects is
funded by a grant from the
State Law and Order Comm
mittee. These funds provide
tuition, spending money,
transportation and clothes for
the youngsters while they are
being trained at the technical
institutes.
According to Dr.Woodbury,
there are similar programs in
the nation, but none exactly like
North Carolina's.
The boys enrolled in the Rich
mond Tech program are
studying Auto Mechanics,
Vending Machine Repair,
Refrigeration, and Radio and
Television Repair. All of the
boys in the Rowan program are
taking Bricklaying.
Before entering this ex
perimental program , which
could be implemented at other
locations in the state, the boys
were thoroughly screened to
determine if they were suitable
for the training. No one was
forced into the program, ac
cording to Dr. Woodbury. And
the boys who were selected
have scheduled release dates
that coincide with the ter
mination of the one-year
program.
The youth were pre-tested
with no one entering the
program with, an intelligence
score lowers than 80. Their,
family backgrounds were
considered; as wen as their
, vocational " maturity,
. aspirations and interests; their
personality and their conduct
record.
5 . And Dr. Woodbury is keeping
I in close touch with the boys as
I they progress in the program.
"We are trying to find out if
they can be successful in a
We really have a pretty good
bunch of students at Marshall
this year and I enjoy 'my
association with all of them..
Do you ever play tricks on
your spouse? Shupe and I have
this thing going with an alarm
dock! Whoever gets in bed
first, slips the alarm clock
(doesn't even run) under the
other's pillow! The other day
Charlotte and I took Shupe's
parents back to Virginia after a
few days visit and Shupe said he
got in bed alone and couldnt go
to sleep. Said he then reached
up above the bed and yes, put
the clock beneath his pillow
and went right to sleep! Oh,
well, I have to fill the spaces
here, so don't read on if you get
bored!

vocational-technical school,"
said Dr. Woodbury. "I am
encouraged by both the positive
and negative feedback I am
getting," fte said.
Dr. Woodbury remarked that
these boys have been "turned
off" on society . "They have
adjustment problems and
sometimes they aren't
accepted by their classmates,"
Dr. Woodbury said.
He believes that holding the
training program in a technical
school atmosphere as opposed
to a training school has ad
vantages. In a technical school
the delinquent youth is exposed
to a real world environment.
They associate with their
peers, which they will have to
do when they are released. And
too, occupational education in
technical institutes and com
munity colleges usually appeals
to the youngsters in that many
come from impoverished socio
cultural backgrounds and are
not attracted to academically
oriented subject matter, which
they would find in a traditional
training school curriculum.
The boys who were selected
for the experimental, in
novative program stay together
when they return to the training
schools in the afternoon. Each
group lives together in a cottage
where they receive low-key
counseling and help with their
homework if they need it.
Whether this experimental
program will be offered again
will depend on its success the
first time around. It could
continue as it is; it could be
redirected or it could be ter
minated. If you like

Cooking can be fun! Cooking
chicken with Imagination can be
profitable also.
Of course, In this modem age
with many mixes, ready
prepared items, and other
convenience foods, feeding the
family can be done with little
actual food Even so, there are
times when you desire the
satisfaction of creativeness and
want to start from scratch.
If your cooking is in a rut or
you are in the doldrums or if you
just like to cook, the National
Chicken Cooking Contest is
designed for you. The people
familiar with the National
Chicken Cooking Contest find it
exciting and develop their ideas
throughout the year. They are
eating their chicken and en
joying it too. Now is the time for
you to join in the pleasure.
As a prerequisite to the
National Contest, North
Carolina has its own Chicken
Cooking Contest which will be
held in Raleigh, on Tuesday,
April 20, to select the top
representative for the finals in
Birmingham, Ala., on May 20.
The sponsors of the State
Contest are the North Carolina
Department of Agriculture, the
North Carolina Poultry
Processors, North Carolina
Poultry Federation. Carolina
Power and Light Co., Duke
Power Co. and Virginia Electric
and Power Co.

Blight Resistant Corn
Is Available for 1972
The seed problems corn
growers faced last winter
have faded in the face of a
good 1971 crop and an all
out effort by seed companies
to produce blight-resistant
hybrids.
There will be a plentiful
supply of seed of blight
resistant hybrids for plant
ing in 1972. These hybrids
are adapted to local growing
conditions.
This is part of the opti
mistic seed corn outlook
compiled from a survey of
four major suppliers of
North Carolina seed
Coker Pedigreed Seed Co.,
Pioneer Corn Co., McNair
Seed Co., and Watson Seed
Farms.
Surveyed by Gene
Sullivan, extention seed spe
cialist at North Carolina
State University, the four
suppliers indicated that only
1 00 percent hand-detasseled
adapted hybrids will be sold.
They do not plan to offer
for sale any blends of T
cytoplasm and N cytoplasm
types. T cytoplasm Is dir
ectly related to blight sus
ceptibility and N cytoplasm
to blight resistance.
The seed companies also
say they will not offer for
sale flint or flint-dent types.
These less desirable types,
along with second generation
and open pollinated seed,
were pressed Into use this
year due to the shortage of
blight resistant, adapted
hybrids.

want, prices will probably
be higher than they were
prior to the 1970 blight
epidemic. Most of this
change in price will be due
to the cost of having to
hand-detassel the N cyto
plasm seed fields.
Based on survey infor
mation, prices of double
cross hybrids will range
from $15.40 for grades for
use In plateless planters to
$21 per 50-pound unit for
medium flat grades.
Single-cross hybrids
will be priced in a range of
$24.40 to $32 per unit.
Special hybrids will be
$17.40 to $26 per unit.
NCSU Specialist Sullivan
pointed out that growers who
have plateless planters
should be able to realize a
considerable savings in seed
costs by using the so-called
"economy" grades or un
graded seed. -These may
"go fast" so booking sup

ed. Sullivan explained that
seed companies and univer
sity researchers throughout
the country are searching
for an acceptable new source
of male sterility to replace
the T or Texas source. The
T is being disoarded In the
production of commeroial
seed because of Its relation
ship to southern, corn leaf
blight susceptibility. If
new source of sterility is
adopted, hand-detaaseling!
can again be reduced and,
theoretically, so can the
price of seed corn. -
