Dear Mr. Cannon:
I want to publicly thank
the Vanceboro Rescue
Squad and its wonderful
gp'oup of workers. Especial
ly do I want to gfive thanks
to the three that came to
my aid recently: Patsy
Townsend, Joyce Toler and
Mac Powell. They were
alerted by George Roberts,
Jr. from the Vanceboro
Medical Center. One could
tell they were really work
ing as a team. They were
•all kind, gentle and very
concerned.
The town has something
to be proud of with this
organization. They have
spent many hours being
trained in order to help
save the lives of others.
Also, I would like to take
this opportunity to extend
my sincere thanks to the
many, many friends for
their kindness shown to me
during my stay in the hos
pital and also since I have
been home. God bless all of
you.

A judge asked a woman
her age.
“Thirty,” she replied.
“You’ve given that age
in this court for the last
three years.”
“Yes. I’m not one of
those who says one thing
tc^ay and another thing
tomorrow.”

If you have better
things to do than
brushing your teeth after
every meal, there are
other ways to help your
teeth. Simply swish water
in your mouth and
swallow it. Eating an ap
ple or raw carrot also
helps.

Vanceboro, N.C.-Mrs.
Lucille Stewart, Director of
the Craven County Council
on the Aged, spoke to the
Vanceboro Rotary Club at
its regular Thursday night
meeting. According to Mrs.
Stewart, the purpose of the
Council is to coordinate the
programs for the aged in
Craven County and to seek
ways of replacing tax-sup
ported programs with
volunteer and self-suppor
ting programs. The Council
has as one of its chief
projects “Meals on Wheels"
in which volunteers deliver
one balanced meal per day
to ten elderly persons in
New Bern. The recipients
pay $1.50 per meal when
they can. Meals on Wheels
is backed by a $5,000 grant
from the Craven County
Board of Commissioners.
A long range goal of the
Council for the Aged is the
construction of a Multi-
Purpose Senior Citizens
Center. This center would
serve as a focal point for
the aged in areas of recrea
tion, education, and basic
services. It would allow
space for other agencies
which serve the aged such
as the Health Department,
Social Services, and the
Food Stamp Program. The
center could also house an
adult day care center which
would allow working fami
lies to keep their loved
ones in the home longer. At
present volunteers are con
ducting a house to house
survey to determine the
exact number of persons in
Craven County who are
sixty years and older and
what needs they have.
Plans are under way for an
extension of the services to
the Vanceboro area in the
near future.
