Centers Slated
Multi-Service Centers are
open in Chowan, Gates and
Perquimans counties, ac
cording to r W. G. Pierce,
area coordinator - of Eco

The centers will be lo
'cated as follows: Chowan,
114 North Oakum Street,
Edenton. ' Gates, T. S.
Cooper School, . Sunbury,
and Perquimans, Masonic
Hall, Hertford.
The major objectives of
the Multi-Service Centers
are:
1. To assist low-income
families in planning and
implementing meaningful
programs at the commun
ity and county level.
2. To create and help
locate job opportunities for
low-income people.
3. To serve as a co
ordinating agency with

ment Security, Agricultural
and Home Economics Ex
tension, Farmers : Ho me
Administration, Vocational
Agriculture and Home Eco
nomics, School Systems,
Community Colleges and
Technical Institutes and all
other agencies or depart
ments which serve the dis
advantaged population in
each county.
Pierce 'states that each
center will be staffed with
Community Action Work
ers to serve as counselors
for the disadvantaged peo
ple. Also, poverty is not
just a question of not hav
ing enough money to buy
what you need, or not hav
ing enough education to
obtain a job, or having
more children than one
can support It is a com
bination of all these and
more. It is a package of
problems, all inter-related.

There hangs the swing upon the maple tree
Where you and I once swung.
There flows the spring forever flowing free
As when we both were young.
And just beyond the school house playing ground
Green grows the forest still
Where once we chased each other 'round and 'round
With boistrous glee and skill.
There climbed the vines and there the berries grow,
Which once we prized so high,
And there the ripe nuts glisten in the glow
Of rich October sky. .
And on the playground happy children still
Shout as in days of yore,
But oh! those days, alas for us dear Will
Are gone forever more. ' '

British Like Peanuts; Not 'Butter'
Joe S. Sugg, executive
secretary of the North Ca
rolina Peanut Growers As
sociation, returned from
England recently, where
he, accompanied by Devoe
H. Willard, president of
the National Peanut Coun
cil, and James Sanderson,
representing the Southeast
ern growers, were attempt
ing to find out how the ex
ports of U. S. peanuts to
Great Britain could be in
creased. Sugg said that it was
learned that the British
people, now using 2 Vis mil
lion pounds of U. S. pea
nuts monthly, are very
fond of peanuts roasted in
the shell, salted and raw
in a 50-50 mixture of raw
peanuts and raisins: He.
said that he and his com
mittee were shocked to
find that the British peo
ple generally do not like
peanut butter.
The likes and dislikes of
the British people were re
vealed in a meeting with
41 representatives of the
peanut manufacturing in
dustry. Apparently the
dislike for peanut butter
is the result of efforts to
substitute low grade pea
nut butter for. meat dur
nig World War II and,
consequently, parents who
developed a dislike for
peanut butter then do not
offer it to their children.
The ' National 1 ; Peanut
Council Export Committee,
of which Sugg is chairman,
plans a joint peanut pro-'
motional program in Eng
land with the English
manufacturers. This pro
grant is designed to edu
cate the adults to the nu
tritive values of peanuts
as a food and to inform
the youth of the wonderful
taste of peanuts and pea
nut products. This pro
motional program will get
underway with a .peanut
exhibit at 1 the 1 Trade Fair

10 'Musts' For Home Pools
Some 200 persons will
drown this summer in
home swimming pools.
Most Of the victims will
be children. Most will die
needlessly.
The home pool has no
waves, tides, or motorboats
to worry about. Yet, de
spite certain safety advan
tages over the lake or
shore, pools too often are
the sites of unnecessary ac
cidents. According to Aetna Life
St Casualty, a major writer
of homeowners policies, the
number of , home pool
drownings in . recent years
has risen . in proportion to
the increasing popularity of
backyard, pools. Privately
owned permanent ; pools
now number nearly: half-a-million.
. Although pool - owners
are not charged higher pre
miums on their homeown
ers insurance, Aetna safety
specialists warn that the
premium : for forgetting
vital safety practices may
be higher than anyone
wants to pay.
Aetna cites this example
from its claim files of a
typical home pool drowp.

RALEIGH What kind
uf men want to wear the
unifrom of the North Caro
lina Highway Patrol? A
recent review of applica
tions for the job indicates
that people from many
walks of life want to be
troopers.
Current occupations rang
ing from army officers to
hairdressers are listed on
applications for the patrol.
Salesmen, school teachers,
mail carriers and football
coaches would like to be
come members of North
Carolina's finest.
But of the many appli
cations received and pro
cessed, only a few can
come up to the rigid
standards set by the pa
trol. "On a recent recruiting
tour of the state, 395 men
applied for jobs with the
patrol," said Col. Charles
Speed, commander of the
Highway Patrol. "But only
107 of those applicants
were qualified to take the
examinations. Anyone can
apply for position as troop
ers, but we are looking for
men with above average in
tellects and education, and
the physical requirements
are extremely rigid."
Of the applications re
ceived, there are indica
tions that some of the can
didates are anxious to
make good first impres
sions. One applicant, per
haps hoping to make a .few
points with the patrol and
impress them with his past
experience, listed his pres
ent duties as "chase wian."

purchase extra large Vir
ginia type peanuts this
year, and this was because
of a short supply created
by weaher conditions in
1966.
The world production and
marketing situation on pea
nuts greatly influence the
amount of pednuts Which
can be exported. However,
Sugg is of the firm belief
that through a sound, con
tinuing export market de
velopment program we can
substantially increase the
exprts of U. S. peanuts,
not only to England but to
other European countries.
riding his tricycle in the
backyard as his mother
watched him from the liv
ing room window. Her at
tention was diverted by a
telephone call. While she
talked "for two or three
minutes" her son rode his
shiny red tricycle into the
family's swimming pool
and drowned.
This tragedy occurred
because ' the boys' family
violated the first two rules
on this list of 10 "musts"
for home pool safety:
1. In-ground pools should
be fenced by high vertical
wooden slabs with pointed
tops or chain link fences
with inwardly slanted tops
of some sharp material
such'as barbed wire. Gates
to pejrnanent boyegrpund
pools should be kept lock
ed and ladders to plastic
above ground pools should
be removed when pools are
not in use.
2. Watch - children close
ly. Lack of supervision is
the largest single cause of
toddlers' drownings. An
occasional glance from a
house - window is not
enough.- You must be out-,
side with your child. ; . -
