I ? Employ The Older Worker Week I "he value of the older er should not be over id as a means to increase t ncy as we face shrink budgets and increased tasis on maximum pro ivity.1' said Dennis Kirby, supervisor of the Kenansviile Employment Security Commission office!. This is the message of Employ the Older Worker Week in North Carolina, March 13-19. Kirby explained that workers hired after age 45 generally reach higher per formance ratings more quickly than their younger counterparts. They tend to Wave a more positive work _(titude. greater job stability and lower absenteeism. Gov. James B. Hunt Jr. proclaimed the observance of Employ the Older Worker Week as an annual means of i focusing public attention on the importance of using this valuable employment re-? source. "When you realize that more than 1.7 million North Carolinians are age 45 years old and older, you begin to see how important it is that we make-good use of their experience and knowledge." said Kirbv. older worker special;..!. Job Service offices have participated in the week observance for more than 20 years as a part of a year round emphasis on place ment of older job-seekers. Since 1967, Congressional legislation has mandated equal opportunity and non discrimination for people on the basis of age. "In spite of our continued efforts to inform employers and the public of the advan tages of hiring older work ers," Kirby said, "this group continues to have problems of unemployment. The emphasis our society places on youth seems to undermine our attempts to show that employing older workers makes good business sense. We urge employers to con sider older workers when they are hiring. At Job service, we will help maich employer needs with appli cant skills." ?GNS PROCLAMATION - The Duplin County Board of i^bmmissioners recognized the older worker bv signing a ^Hiclamation designating March 13-19 as Older Worker I^Hcek in Duplin County.

If you cut through the wax coating i you can control sicklepod k in soybeans. I As if sicklepod (or coffeeweed) wasn't a tough enough problem, now scientists tell us that sicklepod grows up with a herbicide shield. This is a wax.' coating that can actually interfere with the effectiveness of your critical postemergence sprays. But VernamK herbicide, tank-mixed right in with your Treflan? Prowl?* or Basalinf. makes a difference. Research shows us that Vernam applied preplant incorporated has the unique ability to reduce the foliar waxes on sicklepod. So your postemergence sprays stick better, adsorb better and knock out sicklepod more effectively. Vernam. It not only knocks back the first flush of sicklepod,but also cuts the wax to help your postemergent finish the job. See your chemical supplier now. Always read and follow the label directions.
