What Emergency?
The highly-contested duel between farmers and
the U. S. Department of Labor is currently between
innings. At this stage of the game, however, the
score shows farmers have a slight edge.
They've won two legal battles to have the Labor
Department's "emergency" re-entry pesticide
standard delayed and will continue to fight against
the imposition of what they consider "totally un
necessary and unrealistic" rules.
The skirmish started back in May when govern
ment officials reacted to emotion rather than facts,
and hoisted upon farmers an emergency standard
which would have resulted in financial im
possibilities for agricultural employers, unem
ployment for agricultural workers and higher
prices to consumers.
Farmers were not complaining about doing their
part to keep our air safe and clean; they knew the
dangers of certain pesticides and handled them
accordingly. But they did object to being forced to
comply with emergency standards when no
emergency existed. The fact that no emergency
existed was backed by reports of scientists, poison
control centers, a task force on occupational ex
posure to pesticides, and even the Labor Depart
ment's own subcommittee on pesticides.
Although farmers have won two "battles" a
delay of the original emergency standard which was
to go into effect June 18, and another delay of an
amended version which was to be effective on July
13 they are hopeful but not over-confident, about
their chances to win the "war." They have long been
apprehensive about decisions, made by uniformed
or environment, land use, price ceilings, export
restrictions. They know that when they lose so does
the consumer.

It might not have been such
a good idea to compliment
several employees on their
personalities and faithfulness
in this column last
week.... several of them have
thanked me for mentioning
them.... but then there are
several who have good
naturedly said they had been
"slighted".... I didn't mean to
slight any one and I know there
are many whom I should have
mentioned... in fact, there are
only a very few who seem
grouchy. ...it's hard to realize
that football is fast ap
proaching and the coming
season points to excitement
and anticipation our
county's consolidated football
team the Patriots will soon
be a single unit. ...no more
county rivalry but county
unity.. ..this is good.... and I
hope the Patroits will have a
successful season. ...by suc
cessful, I don't necessarily
mean games-won or lost...
there are many ways this
team can be successful other
than by victories. ..on the
other hand, I believe the fine
coaching staff will guide the
Patriots to several victories
although this is the first

visitors will be shown more
than a dozen research plots.
And they will have an op
portunity to talk to the en
tomologists, soil scientists and
horticulturists who are doing
the research.
The research on apples
deals with such things as
varieties, pruning, spacing
and the control of tree size,

J 7 Redmon Reunion
1 ' Attracts '241 Fersdns
The 17th Annual Redmon
Reunion has past-July 22, 1973
" and we are Just thankful for
such a tunny day not only the
weather but the sunny smiles
on all the faces of those
present We had a big crowd
and Just plenty of good food.
We should start a "recipe"
swapping game. All of those
good dishes I would like to
know how to make. Our
program was grand, Ray
Redmon, son of Mr. and Mrs.
Grover Redmon was master
of ceremonies and is to be
commended for his alertness,
wit and his thoughtfulness of
everyone. The Rev. Shelton
led the opening prayer and
Clarence Redmon gave a
welcome speech. The
devotionals were given by the
Rev. Gary Presswood. The
first speaker was Clyde
Redmon from El Sabrante,
Calif., and he let us know that
he had burned some mid-night
oil thinking and writing it.
Next speaker was cousin Tom
Redmon, 87, from Tyler,
Texas who flew up on Thur
sday and brought us ome more
of his "Redmon Special" fruit
cake. Yum! yum! He attended
services at the Redmon
Church so his good record
would not be broken. The
singing was special. Dennis
Parris and his quartet ren
dered many good songs.
Everyone enjoyed and ap
preciated the good music.
Mildred Rectar Schreiber and
Dennis were heard singing a
Letter to
the Editor
Dear Jim:
It has come to my attention
in the past week that con
sideration is being given to
transfering part of the local
REA operation to Charlotte.
Now I have not always agreed
with the operation in its
present form but I can see no
reason for this change. I can
see no way of moving
operation without loss of Jobs
in this area; something we can
not look on lightly.
I understand the change
would be only slightly
cheaper, in fact, not enough to
be passed on to you and me as
consumers. I'm afraid this
will lead from one step to
another until it will end up Just
as the telephone company has,
although members of the
board of directors are far
more business-minded than I
am.
There is bound to be a loss in
revenue anytime you move
any operation outside the
county.
In the past month the Draft
Board has been moved with
two Jobs lost The ASCS office,
due to cutback, has lost Jobs. I
think a decision of this sort
should be considered and
made known public-wise
before we change an efficient
operation where we can
complain to pleasant per
sonnel to some old computers.
Yours truly,
RAYMOND STTNES

song taught to her by Uncle
Harrison Redmon in a singing
school long ago. Music and
singers never die "Just fade,
away." The group picture was
taken before lunch and some
folks who attended their own
church services before comng
missed the picture and I'm
very sorry because 1 wanted
as many of the clan as possible
in the picture. The blessing
was said by Ted Kllpatrick
who is a member of the clan
through Isabella Redmon who
married Wm. Peek in the
early 18008. Does anyone in
this Peek generation have an
old Bible containing any
family records or recent
records? Please contact me if
you have.
Elizabeth Peek Crutchfield
gave us much history on her
ancestors which are in the
clan through Millie Redmon
Moore who is a sister to old
Stephen Redmon and these
Redmons and Moorea and
Peeks helped organize Bull
Creek Church in 1818. Judge
Hugh Campbell from Raleigh
always gives us a lift He
brings many smiles and much
sunshine and we have a double
thank you for him this year
because "a chip off the old
block" his handsome son,
Hugh Campbell Jr., atty. in
Charlotte, was along and
made us a wonderful talk.
Thanks again. The late Grace
Brown Caldwell's daughter
Jean C. Simpklnson from
Nashville, Tenn. made a
wonderful climax to our most
precious day by giving us
history on the lovely old
heri looms handed down to her
from her mother and her
grandmother Laura Redmon
Brown. Wish all the absent
ones could have seen the old

Maternity Nutrition Cited
North Carolina has the
sixth highest infant mortal
ity rate in the nation. One
out of every ten babies ar
rive prematurely, while 15
percent of these are still
born or die shortly after
birth.
Dr. Edward H. Bishop of
the University of North Car
olina blames poor maternity
nutrition as the major factor
in infant mortality. "Ade
quate nutrition should begin
even before conception and
should include a daily diet
consisting of at least 90

brought the old ible
published 1852 and contained
Jeremiah Redmon's family.
What a treasure. We ap
preciated every item. The old
original deed of Stephen
Redmon made 1810 showing
where he bought property
from Baxter Davis on Bull
Creek was on display. Many
have already said they have
wonderful heirlooms for
display for next year. Winona
England from Knoxville was
here this year and so was her
daughter and husband Jack
Burkhart. Eva and George
Schackles were here from
Indiana. Robert Redmon from
Savannah, Ga., was here and
hid a lot of Redmon in
formation on display and he
had to leave early but
promised to make a "speech"
next July 4th Sunday. Wlnfred
Hlggins from Newton asked
me to send him a list of those
who would like a group picture
so if you do either write or call
me and I will send your name
In and he will bring you one
next year July 4th Sunday.
Many people have sent in
regrets that they could not
make it this year but they
will be making plans for next
year. Minerva Redmon Pent
from Tarpon Springs, Fla. and
sisters and Myrtle Luttle from
Eden wanted to express their
appreciatlon for such a good
lime. Hope everyone had a
year and hope to see you 4th
Sunday in July, 1974.

he advises.
Don't let poor, inadequate
maternity nutrition rob you
of your baby. Make certain
you and your doctor plan a
well-rounded, vitamin and
mineral-enriched diet and
have a healthy baby.
