RURAL SCENE ?- A bit of cotton fluff tossed by the wind onto the freshly plowed dirt of a field off N. C. 20 makes a typical rural scene for a passing photographer. Months from now the field will fill with the snowy, lanuginous orbs long after the wind has carried this villous ball away. | Photo by Marty Vega ) Bomb Scare Clears School The Sheriffs Department re ceived a bomb threat Monday directed at Upchurch Junior High.

Department of Transportation (DOT) officials announced that all its field maintenance operations employees will go on the summer four work day week starting April 18. The 10-hour day work schedule will see DOT maintenance crews report to work at 7:00 a.m. and work through 5:30 p.m. with a 30- minute lunch period. The sum mer work hours will remain in effect through Sept. 30. This will be the third year that DOT field maintenance crews have employed the 10-hour work day schedule during the summer months. DOT supervisory personnel indi cate that the summer work hours are generally well liked, are a boost to employee morale, contribute to increased productivity and save employee travel time, which results in added energy savings. In announcing the summer work hours, DOT officials stressed that the four-day work week applies to normal field maintenance opera tions only and will not affect any essential emergency repair services. Also all field offices, manned by administrative personnel, will con tinue to operate on the normal five-day work schedule. Spring Art Show May 4-6 The spring show and sale of work done by the art students of Sand hills Community College will be held May 4, 5 and 6 in the art department in the Mary Luman Meyer Building on the Sandhills campus. The exhibit is free of chaise to the public and on the opening day refreshments will be served by the students to all visitors. According to Jack Acton, chair man of the department of art, there will be original pottery, line draw ings, paintings, water colors and crafts that the students have done in classes this year. Sandhills offers an associate in fine arts degree which prepares students for careers in art or to transfer to four year colleges for further study. Accord ing to Acton, the talented students will have a most unusual show this year. Each year the May exhibit and sale of the work of art students attracts hundreds of visitors to the campus. It is an opportunity for art lovers and collectors to acquire original and outstanding works for reasonable prices set by each individual artist. In years past some students have sold their art work for enough money to further their studies at Sandhills and other colleges. ccenl- on griculhjre BY JOHN SLEDGE N C Farm Bureau Federation The establishment of dietary goals for the general public is not an appropriate function of any agency of government. Members of the Senate Select Committee on Nutrition and Hu man Needs got this message quite clearly when they released their report on "Dietary Goals for the U.S.". For example, the National Live Stock and Meat Board said the committee's claims that Americans should eat less meat, are precarious and could damage public health, as well as the meat industry and related industries. The Senators who serve on this committee also heard from angry folks "back home" when the report was re leased. They have decided, now, to follow up on the Meat Board's offer of assistance in the development of more information. It's not the farmers object to the publication of information which will help consumers make decisions about their nutritional require ments. They, of all people, are in favor of good nutrition. What they do object to is the "Congressional sanction" the report gives to one side of a controversy -- in spite of the existence of substantial con flicting scientific opinion. The Senate Committee's report goes beyond the role of describing useful facts about the nutritional aspects of food and contains many highly controversial statements which could be regarded as an initial step toward the formation of new agricultural economic policy. Providing consumers with nutri tional facts is one thing; getting into the policy area is another ? especially when there was no opportunity for input from the agricultural industry.
