Policy Adopted
For Free Lunches
A new policy hai been
adopted by the lluke County
. School System in accordance
' " with the revised United States
Department of Agriculture
Regulations of the National
School Lunch and Child
Nutrition Acts.
Hoke County schools serve
an average of 3,800 lunches
daily of which 1,465 are given
free or sold at reduced rates. A
sizeable portion of the food
used in the cafeterias is sent in
through or by federal agencies.
The Hoke County Board of
Education has adopted a policy
regarding the determination of
eligibility for free and reduced
price lunches.
Free and reduced cost meals
will be awarded consistent with
the set policy which will avoid
discrimination between paying
and non-paying children.
All meals served, whether
'without cost or at reduced cost
to children, will meet the
established nutritional
requirements and shall be
identical to those served to
t paying participants.
No physical segregation of,
nor any other discrimination
against any child shall be made
because of his inability to pay.
The policy states that the
authority to determine which
child it eligible for a free or
reduced price lunch will be
vested in the principal of the
school andor a committee
appointed by the principal.
In selecting the eligible
participant the principal andor
the committee appointed by
the principal will give due
Researcher Urges Better
Identification Of Weeds
Tar Heel farmers and
gardeners would do well to
heed an old military saying -know
your enemy - as they
gear up for their annual battle
againat weeds.
At least this is the advice of

North Carolina State
University, Dr. A. D. Worsham.
Dr. Worsham said farmers,
gardeners and homeowners are

"because they cannot
I distinguish one weed from
I another by name.
"The same weed is called
different names by different
people, and many weeds are
called just tliat - weeds and
nothing else," Worsham
explained.
As long as people were
fighting weeds with a plow or
hoe the names of the weeds
were unimportant. A weed was
a weed, and they were all to be
killed. Some were just harder
to chop out and came back
faster than others.
"But herbicides (chemicals
for controlling weeds) have
changed the picture. Most
herbicides happen to kill

is a department not yet complete in its
renovation and one of which the principal
says he will be proud. He explained that a
50 ft. by 60 ft. room which was used as a
bricklaying department when high school
students attended there, is being
transformed.
Walls have been re-painted and the
floor h being covered. The room will be

other games will be played.
waiting while a 2 o'clock appointment
finally is filled at 4:45.
The proposed law would provide the
state with more physicians by enabling
and encouraging universities to admit
more students into the medical schools,
by putting them into the field faster by
shortening the training process, and by
encouraging medical education along the
lines of general practice.
One aspect to be pcrsucd would be an
appropriation designed to give students
financial aid who would enter the field of
medicine. Another would he to establish
medical schools at additional universities.
Singled out by Gov. Bob Scoit as an apt
school for such a doclorial degree was
East Carolina University. Such an
enactment would be a gojyriid to small
towns where there is an acute shortage of
doctors, or none at all. such as in
neighboring Parklon. where there has
been none for more than two years.
On the question of taxes. McFadyen
uid that proposals for new ways of
raising taxes seem to be coming from all
directions.
One bill introduced by Rep. Elliott of
Lemor would add a I per cent sales lax
on a state wide basis which would be
returned to counties on a population
basis, lest 10 per cent to go to the slate
treasurer.
Another, introduced by Rep. ('.
Leathcrman, Lincoln County, would
consideration to the child's
economic needs.
Referrals may be submitted
by school nurse, teacher,
parent, home-school visitor,
agent of Welfare Department
or other qualified persons. Free
or reduced price lunch
recipients will be selected using
a S 1 ,300 per capita income as a
baseline figure.
Each school will design and
maintain a system of collecting
payments and accounting for
free or reduced price lunches
that will protect the
anonymity of the recipients.
Each school is to ensure that
eligible children are not
required to use a separate
lunchroom, go through a
separate serving line, enter the
lunchroom through a separate
entrance andor eat at a
different time from paying
children. The school is to
refrain from requiring
mandatory work, use of a
different medium of exchange
andor eating a different meal
as conditions for receiving free
or reduced cost meals.
Assistant Supt. J. D.
McAllister said that this does
not mean that the county will
be getting additional funds.
Nor does it mean that the full
scale of commodities received
from the federal government as
of a few years ago will be
restored.
It does not mean that these
procedures have not been
carried out in the past but that
USDA wants to make sure that
it is carried out in the future.
specific weeds. That is, some
weeds are killed very easily by
the chemical. Some are hard to
kill and some may not be killed
at all. Unless a farmer knows
what weeds he has, he has no
way of knowing which
herbicides to use."
Worsham used nutsedge as
an example. Most farmers call
it nutgrass and try to control it
with herbicides commonly
used to kill certain grasses.
Actually, it is a member of the
sedge family. It is controlled
easier by many chemicals that
are used against weeds than by
chemicals used specifically
against perennial grasses.
Worsham cited watergrass as
another example of how name
differences are making the job
of weed control more difficult.
"There must be four or five
different plants in this country
which are called (by local
people) watergrass. A herbicide
tliat may be sold nationally to
control watergrass may be
useless on the "watergrass
found in North Carolina."
Often, there is no
resemblance between the local
and national name given to a
weed. For example, mugwort is

allow local option (each county would be
at liberty to levy its own tax).
A third, introduced by Rep. Norwood
Bryan Jr. of Cumberland and Rep. Thos.
Strickland of Wayne, would add a I per
cent surtax to the present 3 per cent. Half
the additional reserve would be divided
among counties and half would be to the
state's general fund.
And so goes proposals to raise extra
funds needed hy counties and by the

new tax on cigarettes, toft drinks or
alcohol.
"Basically, most people don't want any

McFadyen. But those expensive local
project's needed and wanted must be paid
for.
The Hoke County representative
ditclowd thai he would favor the

What comes after four hard
years of college? No one can
give you a firm answer to that
question. But, Sergeant Charles
N. Maynard, local Air Force
recruiter can give it a try.
"My answer would be travel,
recreation, advancement, pay
and allowances and challenge,
said Sergeant Maynard. "But
this is only part of the picture.
Different people have different
objectives in life. However, the
U.S. Air Force is comprised of
more than 850,000 individuals,
each with ti.s own ambitions,
but all are working toward a
common goal - the
preservation of democracy."
According to Sergeant
Maynard, a young college
graduate enlisting in the Air
often referred to locally as wild
chrysanthemum. Prickley sida
it given the local name of iron
weed or hard weed, and in the
Delta states it is called tea
weed or Mexican tea.
Smartweed in the lingo of
many Tar Heel farmers is
"sorghum weed" or
"cut-thumb."
Worsham is convinced that
farmers must spend the time
needed "to know what weeds
they have if they are going to
control them."
"A good farmer or gardener
knows the fertility level of his
soil. He knows the pH level,
the water holding capacity, and
something about his disease
problems. Likewise, he must
know something about his
major weeds."
Worhsam would like to see
extension workers, vocational
agriculture teachers and
agribusincssmcn give more
attention to the problem of
recognizing and identifying
weeds. And for the farmer who
wants to learn more about his
weeds, Worsham points out
that a new extension
publication it available on the
subject.

Force is giving himself time to
plant his feet solidly on the
ground. These days progression
through the ranks allows a man
to reach the grade of Staff
Sergeant in a little over three
years. With increases in rank
come increasei in
responsibility.
It's thit acceptance of
responsibility," added Sergeant
Maynard "that makes a man
more valuable to the civilian
community. In the Air Force a
man is judged on his individual
merit. In the daily performance
of his duties, he faces new
challenges, challenges that test
both his knowledge and ability.
When he leaves the Air Force,
he is equipped to face the
further challenges of civilian
life."
Education is not to be
discounted either, according to
the sergeant, even for college
graduates.
"The current educational
program in the Air Force
allows a man to progress thru
his master's degree to his
doctorate, depending on his
own ability and desires," he
said. "I'm not saying he can
accomplish this in four years,

In reviewing legislative happenings of
the past week, the representative related
that a bill, presented at the request of
Gov. Bob Scotl, would require surplus

these in-slatc banks should be the
depository to long as the rate of interest
they can pay the state ii not at much as Vi

A bill which failed to pass during the

Under the new bill, tires would be
