Irvin Hubbard Volunteer Of Year
Social Services Thanks Its Volunteers
The Hoke County Deper^m-jnt o?
Social Services May 25 honored the
volunteers who have been helping
with the department's programs
and clients.
A reception was held in the
department conference room, and
department director Ken Wither
spoon presented certificates of
appreciation to the individual
people and to the organizations --
church, business and civic *? which
helped with the programs.
Witherspoon presented the de
partment's Volunteer of the Year
award to Irvin Hubbard. Wither
spoon said Hubbard did 35 hours a
week of volunteer work for three
months helping with the energy
assistance program and with the
distribution of the surplus cheese
given by the federal government to
people eligible for food stamps.
Witherspoon told the audience of
volunteers and members of his staff
that the volunteers have been
extremely valuable and that, in
view of reductions of federal funds
for social services programs, they
will be "doubly important" in the
future.
Besides helping with the cheese
distribution, volunteers also have
been serving as foster parents,
donating clothing, giving parties
and baking cakes.
Witherspoon said the Raeford
Woman's Club Share Your Christ
mas program of 1981 provided
packages for more than 140 needy
families in Hoke County. He said
this in presenting a Certificate of
Appreciation to Sarah Leach,
chairman of the Christmas pro
gram.

Dear editor:
As I understand it, the housing
industry, car manufacturers, air
lines and other segments of the
economy are in trouble because of
high interest rates. For example
who wants to build a $50,000 house
that'll cost $100,000 by the time
you get it paid for if you live that
long and don't get laid off because
the company you work for went
under because if couldn't pay those
high interest rates either.
And high interest rates, Wall
Street says, won't come down so
long as we've got a huge Federal
deficit.
What we need of course is low
interest rates for borrowers and
high interest rates for lenders,
although Congress hasn't attacked
the problem from that angle yet.
But Congress is trying to do
something about the deficit, which
is either $100 billion or $125
billion, depending on whether you
hear the morning or the evening
news.
?J14
The most original idea so far is
now under consideration. Some
members have come up with the
idea of taking the S200 billion cost
of Social Security out of the budget.
Keep paying it, certainly, but put it
on some other page in the govern
ment's account book and presto,
the deficit is wiped out, Wall Street
perks up and regains confidence,
stocks go up, interest rates come
down, people start buying cars and
building houses and riding in
airplanes, and the country is rolling
again.
This looks like a sound idea
except for one thing. At first Wall
Street, on hearing that the deficit
finally is wiped out and the budget
balanced, will throw confetti out
the windows in celebration and
order interest rates to come down.
But then some busy-body TV
reporter, instead of covering wars
and murder trials like he's sup
posed to, will take it on himself to
explain to Wall Street that the
deficit really hasn't come down, it's
just been reported on a different
page and the government is still
head over heels in debt.
We're right back where we
started and Congress will have to
try some other plan. And it will, so
long as none of the cuts affect the
district each one is elected from.
Yours faithfully,
J. A.

PESTICIDE SAFETY
Do you read the label of the
pesticides you use before each use?
Do you store them correctly, apply
them only as directed, or dispose of
empty containers correctly? All
four of these questions represent
keys to pesticide safety.
In this column week before last
(May 15), I gave you a few do and
don't rules about pesticides. Well,
today I want to go over four keys to
pesticide safety.
The first key is to read the label
on the pesticide container before
each use. Follow instructions
completely. All cautions and warn
ings should be heeded. You might
ask why read the label each time.
The primary reason is because the
chemical nature of pesticides and
their uses vary greatly.
The second key to pesticide
safety is to store pesticides in their
original containers out of reach of
children and irresponsible people.
If they aren't kept in their original
labeled containers, they can't be
properly identified. They should be
stored in a locked cabinet or room
away from feed, seed, and other
agricultural supplies.
The third key in pesticide safety
is to apply the pesticides only as
POWER
Would you like to keep on earning
money even if an unexpected illness or
accident keeps you away from work?

Plan does |ust this. It guarantees your
greatest asset -- "EARNING POWER."

tion is guaranteed renewable to age 65.

directed. Tex) many times problems
arise because someone uses a
pesticide on the wrong crop or in
the wrong amount. The idea that if
a little is good, a lot is better does
not hold in pesticide use. All
pesticides should be applied to the
crop specified, in the amount
specified, and at the time specified
on the label. Any other use of a g
pesticide other than that for which
it is labeled is a misuse. Anyone
involved in such a misuse can be
prosecuted under the law. Obser
vation of re-entry times and residue
disappearance are also important
in the correct application and use
of a pesticide.
The fourth key is to dispose of
empty containers safely. It is
almost impossible to completely
remove all material from a con- -
tainer. Many times "empty" con- "
tainers have been directly involved
in the poisoning of children and
animals. Always rinse and drain a
container at least three times.
Break the containers using an axe
or sledge to insure that they won't
be of any further use to anyone.
Then dispose of them properly.
Those are four important keys to
pesticide safety. I hope that you will m
follow them this growing season. '
