NEWBERN Staff Writer Women have meandered their way into nearly every previously male field of interest. And Perquimans County hosts no exception. JThe woman4s Sally. Bundy . Perry of Rt."3, Hertford, and ' the field is auto mechanics. . Sally was the only female in a class of 11 that par ticipated in a course on front end suspension taught during the winter quarter at the College of the Albemarle by Bob Sanders. Sally said that she liked the in structor's way of teaching and that he was very helpful. Not claiming to be a devout women's libber, Sally said she was sincerely interested in auto mechanics. "I took the course because all my life I've tried to help boys work on their cars," she said, "Knt TSm alurovc inct hoan in the way. Maybe now I'll be able to help." "I think that every woman should know something about a car, if she's going to be out on the road driving it." Sally, a slender 19-year old blond, said she'd thought about becoming a mechanic once, but she feels that some of the work is too heavy for a girl. Besides front end suspension, Sally was also taking an adult education course on motor tune-ups. Sally isn't registered during the present quarter at COA, but hopes to take another course, in the fall. Con cerning the reaction of the boys in her class, Sally said, "I was surprised. I didn't get that much teasing. Some of them knew other girls that were into mechanics, and they Knew that I was really interested." The boys proved to be helpful and often explained thirds to her that she didn't understand. She said that girls she knew were more surprised at her taking the course than the boys.-,. Sally said she like the course. "You really learn a lot. You Can't stay around anything like that without getting interested." She said she had the most .trouble "breaking things loose" and picking up heavy Jhings. Sally feels that v she letrned a lot t from the course. She tunes up her own car, helped a sister start her car, and will help a friend put in a carberator next week."

S. McNair, president of the unit. The delegates attending will present the local units' views in debating, voting and deciding on the course NCAE will follow during the next year. Major issues to be decided include the 1975 Legislative Program, a new state headquarters building and unification with the National Education Association (NEA). A proposed legislative program will be presented to the convention by the NCAE Legislative Com mission, according to Dr. A. C. Dawson, NCAE executive secretary. Delegates will have an opportunity to propose changes, adopt the program or refer it back to the Legislative Commission for further action. Highlights of the proposed program include more state kindergartens, more state mnds for instructional supplies, additional public school personnel, more state funds for utilities, fuel and similar school costs, and salary increases for all personnel. The delegates will see plans. Dr. Dawson said, for a proposed new building to replace the current NCAE Center in downtown Raleigh. The current structure was constructed in the late 1930's and remodeled in.1960. The proposed unification with NEA, according to E. B. Palmer, NCAE associate executive secretary, has been endorsed by most NCAE leaders. Unification would change membership requirements for NCAE and NEA. Currently, NCAE members are encouraged, but not required, to join NEA also. If unification is approved, anyone who joins one association will be required to join the other. The delegates will hear NEA President Helen Wise speak on Thursday evening, April 5. A long list of resolutions designed to work toward NCAE's general goals of professional im provement of its members, advancement of the cause of public education, and promotion and protection of the welfare of NCAE members will be presented to the delegates for action.

(Francine Sawyer Photo) Must Report Earnings People who earned over $2,100 and got one or more monthly social security retirement or survivors checks in 1973 must submit an annual report on their earnings to social security by April 15. The report shows how much was earned in wages and self-employment in come last year by people who got social security payments as well as how much they expect to earn this year. The report will be used to determine if people were Hog Prices Going Up "While the hog producer loses over $20 per head for 220 pound animals, the public is getting hit with record high retail prices for pork," the president of the state's largest general farm organization said Wed nesday. B.C. Mangum, president of the N.C. Farm Bureau Federation, said depressed farm prices for hogs would inevitably result in decreased production and even higher prices for available pork supplies. He pointed out that USDA figures show the selling price per hundredweight for a 220 pound hog would have had to be over $43 in January just to enable the producer to cover all production costs, However, producers this week are receiving $33 per hun dredweight, down about six dollars from last week. "It is time for retail prices to reflect the lower prices of live animals, which is being reflected at the processor level," Mangum said. "We don't want to see the consumer pay more than is necessary for pork or any other food item," the Person County farmer said. "However, it is well to remember that farmers don't set prices of food. They react to them. They produce or don't produce in response to price and opportunity for profit. Unless the pork producer has a profit in centive to produce, the end result will be reduced supplies and even higher , prices." Library Hours The College of The Albemarle Technical Center Library will now be open on Thursday nights until 9:45 p.m. . '. . The new schedule for the Technical Center Branch of The COA Whitehurst Library is: Monday through Wednesday, 7:45 a.m. - 4:00 p.m.; Thursday, 7:45 a.m. 9:45 p.m.", Friday, 7:45 a.m. -3:00 p.m. . Mrs. Ann Gaddy is a new part-time librarian in the Technical Center Library paid the correct amount of social secur ty benefits for 1973, and adjust their monthly social security payments for 1974 according to their estimated earnings. Full social security benefits could be paid to eligible people in 1973 if they earned $2,100 or less for the year. No matter how much they earned for the year, they could be paid their full social security benefits for any month they earned $175 or less and didn't do sub stantial work in their own business.
