State department plans meetings i
RALEIGH - The North
Carolina Department of
Commerce, with help from
state, local and federal
agencies, will sponsor two
conferences on August 1,
and August 8, to bring state
buyers and suppliers to
gether to discuss business
opportunities.
The conferences will
show new and existing
manfucturers the products
available from North
Carolina suppliers, ac
cording to Commerce
Secretary D.M. "Lauch"
Faircloth. "We want to en
courage our industries to '
buy North Carolina pro- j
ducts and services when- i
ever it is economically ;
possible," said Faircloth.
The buyers/suppliers
meeting will be the first
held in the state in over two
years. The last such
gathering attracted 150
participants, and Thomas
Broughton, Director of the
Business Assistance Divi
sion, says the Department
expects double that
number this year. The
Department is mailing in
vitations to over 2,000 sup
pliers and expects com
mitments from over 50 ma
jor manufacturers.
The purpose is to ac
quaint the state's new in
dustries with goods and
products available in
North Carolina as well as
to bring existing manufac
turers up to date on new
products made in North
Carolina.
The August 1 seminar
will be held at Scott
Pavilion at the State (
Fairgrounds in Raleigh, t
1025 Blue Ridge Road. The C
August 8 conference will be c
held at the Benton jConven- t
tion center in Down- <
town Winston-Salem. The s

SPOTLIGHT ON MAGAZINES
Books aren't all the library has to offer. A wide varie
ty of maganizes with important and interesting articles
may also be found there. The following is just a
highlight of a few.
"Academy Awards of All Time" is in the July-August
1978 Saturday Evening Post.
"Stars Fatal Flaws: Astrology Disproved" is in the
July 1978 Science Digest.
"What's Happening to the American Family," a
survey of attitudes and problems, can be found in the
June 1978 issue of Better Homes and Gardens.
An excerpt from James Michener's new novel,
Chesapeake, appears in this month's issue of Ladies
Home Journal.
1
"Enhanced Radiation Weapons" examines the
neutron bomb and plays a war game as it might be used ,
in the May 1978 issue of Scientific American.
Air conditioners are rated by brand in the Con
sumers' Research Magazine, June 1978. Exterior White
House Paints are compared in the July 1978 issue of that
magazine.
And, "Frog Farming and Its Big Money Secrets" are
revealed in The Mother Earth News, July-August 1978.
See the accompanying up-close look below on this back
to the land magazine.
THE MOTHER EARTH NEWS
The Mother Earth News is a unique magazine
published in Hendersonville, NC. Begun about five
years ago, it is a cross between Popular Mechanics,
Organic Gardening and Rolling Stone with a wide range
of articles and features plus advertisements for things
you can't buy anywhere else. It is aimed at an audience
of ecology minded back to the land types, hard working
hippies, and get rich quick dreamers. This month's <
issue tells you how to make money as a livestock show
photographer, how to play the harmonica, how to guide
a solar cooker, how to make vegetarian sandwiches,
how to set up a mail order business, and so help
me...how to make cow manure without a cow for all you
organic gardeners.
The advertisements run to heavy hardware and
natural products, everything from wood stoves, log
splitters, vegetable dryers, chimney sweeping kits, and
water distillers to mega-vitamins and natural soaps.
There is also an interesting section each issue listing
mail order brides and grooms. If you are a non
smoking, light-drinking woman who likes fishing, dog
mushing and is interested in personal growth, you can
write to Mike Cutter in Valdez, Alaska, just one such
listing in this section.
This is one of the best magazines published in the
United States and is now being indexed by Reader's
Guide which only chooses 60 magazines from all those
printed in the nation. It's a youth-oriented magazine
that sees the wisdom of our grandfathers and the way
they lived. Try it, you'll like it. And you can find it, and
much more, at the Perquimans County library.
